A vehicle display device includes a display control unit that is configured to: display markers in positions, on a display unit, corresponding to future positions of a host vehicle which are acquired from an autonomous driving control unit that autonomously drives the host vehicle, and move display positions of the markers on the display unit in accordance with travel of the host vehicle and toward a reference position on the display unit corresponding to the host vehicle.

A vehicle display control device, which displays a predetermined image at a display region showing a foreground of a vehicle, includes a memory, and a processor connected to the memory. In a case in which a change operation that changes an advancing direction of the vehicle is planned, the processor displays at least one directional image, which indicates an advancing direction after the change, in the display region, and changes a number of the directional images during a time period until the vehicle reaches a change operation point at which the change operation is to be carried out.

An information display apparatus may include a processor configured to display a display object in augmented reality; and a storage configured to store data and algorithms driven by the processor, wherein the processor determines a position of the display object by use of at least one of a total number of lanes or a number of lanes in a road in a driving direction of a host vehicle, possible traveling direction information for each lane, and driving direction information related to the host vehicle, and the information display apparatus is disposed within a vehicle or outside the vehicle, and when disposed outside the vehicle, is configured to transmit display information related to the display object to the vehicle or a mobile device.

A head-up display system for a vehicle includes at least one light source adapted to project an image upon an inner surface of a windshield of the vehicle, a driver monitoring system adapted to track a position of a driver's eyes, at least one non-visual sensor adapted to detect objects within an environment surrounding the vehicle, at least one image capturing device adapted to capture images of the environment surrounding the vehicle, and, a controller in communication with the at least one laser, the at least one non-visual sensor and the at least one image capturing device, the controller adapted to identify lane markers and objects within the environment surrounding the vehicle, determine the position of the vehicle within a lane of a roadway the vehicle is traveling upon, and, display, with the at least one light source, a lane position alert.

A method for low visibility driving includes receiving image data from a visible-light camera. The image data includes an image of an area in front of a vehicle. The method includes receiving sensor data from an object-detecting sensor. The object-detecting sensor is configured to detect an object in front of the vehicle. The sensor data includes information about the object in front of the vehicle. The method further includes detecting the object in front of the vehicle using the sensor data received from the object-detecting sensor and determining whether the visible-light camera is unable to detect the object in front of the vehicle that was detected by the object-detecting sensor. The method further includes commanding a display to generate a virtual image using the sensor data to identify the object in front of the vehicle.

A head-up display for displaying graphics upon a windscreen of a vehicle includes a graphic projection module for generating one or more graphic images upon the windscreen of the vehicle, a forward-facing camera collecting image data representative of a view of a surrounding environment of the vehicle visible through the windscreen, an ambient light sensor detecting a level of ambient light present in the surrounding environment of the vehicle, and one or more controllers in electronic communication with the graphic projection module, the forward-facing camera, and the ambient light sensor. The one or more controllers executes instructions to determine the level of ambient light present in the surrounding environment of the vehicle based on an ambient light signal, and adjusts a saturation level of one or more colors of the one or more graphic images generated by the graphic projection module based on the level of ambient light.

An information recording device acquires outside image information corresponding to an outside image obtained by photographing the outside of a moving body from the moving body; acquires autonomous driving information indicating a state of autonomous driving control of the moving body; acquires display information for simultaneously displaying at least a part of the outside image and an autonomous driving state image indicating the state of the autonomous driving control at a time of photographing the outside image, based on the outside image information and the autonomous driving information; and records the display information in a recording medium. The autonomous driving state image includes brake information indicating whether braking of the moving body is under the autonomous driving control.

A method for providing content in various display areas of at least one display includes the steps of acquiring a first selection of one of the display areas; acquiring a second selection of an element of a list that is associated with the selected display area; and providing in the selected display area a content that is associated with the selected element.

There are provided: a vehicle display device including a HUD device capable of ensuring safe traveling by suitably controlling a display region of an image to be displayed on the windshield of a vehicle; and a display method. A vehicle display device includes a HUD device that projects image light of an image, which is to be displayed, on a windshield WS of a vehicle such that a virtual image I* of the image is visually recognized by reflected light. The vehicle display device is operable to display a plurality of images having a priority order, and an image having a high priority order is displayed such that an image displayed in a specified region As of the windshield WS has a predetermined display rate (=an area of the image/an area of the specified region) or less. Warning images I2 and I31 to I34 are set in a priority order higher than that of the driving support images I11 to I13.

A display controller (20) includes an information acquisition unit configured to obtain input data of attentional resources of an occupant of a mobile object such as traveling time, occupant status information, driving environment information or display image history and a display-image generation unit configured to generate, in a mode determined based on the input data, a display image to be displayed by a display device (10) provided for the mobile object. The mobile object is for instance a vehicle comprising a head-up display.
