The head up display system includes an imaging device group, a concave reflective element, a directional imaging device and a processor, the imaging device group includes at least one single-layer imaging device; the directional imaging device includes a light source device, a direction control element, a diffusing element and a light modulating layer; the processor is respectively connected with the directional imaging device and the at least one single-layer imaging device in the imaging device group.

A system and method displays information using a vehicle-mount computer. The system includes (i) an input device and a display device for inputting and displaying information; (ii) a motion detector for detecting vehicle motion; (iii) a proximity sensor for detecting proximity to an item; and (vi) a vehicle-mount computer in communication with the input device, the display device, the motion detector, and the proximity sensor, the vehicle-mount computer including a central processing unit and memory. The vehicle-mount computer's central processing unit is configured to store information associated with user-selected information from the input device and to display a zoomed view of the user-selected information on the display device. Further, the vehicle-mount computer's central processing unit is configured to override screen-blanking when user-selected information is displayed.

A vehicular display control apparatus includes: a condition determination portion that determines whether a deviation prediction condition has been established, the deviation prediction condition being a condition based on which a deviation between a sensible speed for a driver and an actual traveling speed is predicted; a speed difference determination portion that determines whether a speed difference between the actual traveling speed and a speed limit is a switching determination value or larger, and whether a shortage of the traveling speed from the speed limit is the switching determination value or larger; and a switching control portion that switches a speed display indicating the traveling speed to an emphasized display in a case when the condition determination portion determines that the deviation prediction condition has been established, and also when the speed difference determination portion determines that the speed difference is the switching determination value or larger.

There are provided an outputter provided in a vehicle and configured to output information, a controller configured to execute driving support for the vehicle, and an output controller configured to provide a notification for requesting an occupant of the vehicle to perform a predetermined action when the driving support is being executed by the controller, cause a form of the notification to be changed so that the notification is emphasized in accordance with a passage of time from a start of the notification, and cause the outputter to output the notification.

The techniques of this disclosure relate to a vehicle occupancy-monitoring system. The system includes a controller circuit that receives occupant data from an occupancy-monitoring sensor of a vehicle. The controller circuit determines an occupancy status of respective seats in a cabin of the vehicle based on the occupancy-monitoring sensor. The controller circuit indicates the occupancy status of the respective seats on a display located in a field of view of occupants of the vehicle. The display is integral to one of a roof light module, a door panel, or a headliner of the cabin. The system can improve passenger safety by alerting the operator and other occupants about the occupancy status of the passengers.

A vehicle display device, includes: a curve information acquisition section configured to acquire information relating to a degree of curvature of a travel lane; a deceleration determination section configured to determine whether or not deceleration of a vehicle is required based on the degree of curvature of the travel lane and a vehicle speed; and a marking display section configured to, in a case in which deceleration is required, cause a display device to display a predetermined first marking superimposed along the travel lane at a display region inside a vehicle cabin.

The invention relates to a display device comprising a display plane, on which one or more planar display regions 10, 11 are arranged, said planar regions 10, 11 being covered by transparent coverings. A single transparent covering 3 covers all the planar display regions 10, 11 of the display device, is formed three-dimensionally on the viewer's side by regions of differing thicknesses and is connected on the side facing away from the viewer to the planar display regions 10, 11 by means of optical bonding. The refractive index of the material of the covering 3 corresponds to the refractive index of the optical-bonding material 8.

When transitioning from both prohibition state that prohibit a specific action and a hand release during an execution of the autonomous driving to a specific action permission state that permits a driver to execute a specific action other than a driving operation, a presentation control device presents information indicating that the transition is allowable prior to information indicating that the transition is executed. When transitioning from a hand release permission state that prohibits the specific action and permits hand release from a steering wheel to the specific action permission state, the presentation control device presents the information indicating that the transition is allowable and the information indicating that the transition is executed at a same time.

A method includes automatically determining a first user input with a first predefined manipulation force acting on the input device and, in response thereto, performing a first function according to the first manipulation force. The method also includes automatically determining a second user input with a second predefined manipulation force acting on the input device, which second manipulation force is higher than the first manipulation force, and, in response thereto, selecting a first display element from a plurality of display elements displayed on a display unit, by switching an input focus to the first display element.

A vehicle display device configured to display a predetermined image on a display region depicting a scene ahead of a vehicle. The vehicle display device includes memory and a processor connected to the memory. The processor is configured to acquire position information for the vehicle and position information for a destination point, and to display a first image indicating an orientation of the destination point at the display region in a case in which a relationship between the position of the vehicle and the position of the destination point satisfies a predetermined condition relating to visibility.
