The present invention relates to a vehicle user interface device including a display configured to display a first Augmented Reality (AR) graphic object at a point in a display area corresponding to a first point, and at least one processor configured to obtain distance data between a vehicle and the first point and change the first AR graphic object based on the distance data.

A display control device provided at a vehicle and including a processor, a first display section, a second display section adjacent to the first display section, and a third display section adjacent to the second display section in a different direction from the first display section. The processor being configured to: control the first display section, the second display section, and the third display section; acquire notification information to be notified to a driver of the vehicle; and execute an animation such that the notification information currently being displayed on one of the first display section or the third display section is displayed on the second display section and then displayed on another of the first display section or the third display section.

A computer includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to collect biometric data of a vehicle user, identify a set of user-specific data from one or more stored sets of user-specific data based on the biometric data, and receive a request for a stored location. When the biometric data of the vehicle user match the stored biometric data, the instructions include instructions to display the requested location. When the biometric data of the vehicle user do not match the stored biometric data, the instructions include instructions to identify an offset location based on the requested location and a population density of the requested location and display the offset location.

A system is provided generating a context-dependent experience for a vehicle driver, e.g., to relax or enhance the driver's mental state. A system controller is configured to receive driving context data regarding a driving situation from various driving context data sources. The driving context data may include vehicle operation data, e.g., generated by vehicle-based sensors, and environmental data regarding an environment external to the vehicle, e.g., received wirelessly from a remote server. The system controller may identify content triggering events based on (a) the received driver context data and (b) a set of content triggering rules. For each content triggering event, the system controller may select one or more human-perceivable contents elements (e.g., audio clips, seat massage settings, or air conditioner settings), and control one or more content output devices (e.g., speakers, seat massage system, or vehicle HVAC system) to output the selected content element(s) to the driver.

An active noise control device includes a control signal generating unit including a first adaptive filter configured to generate a control signal by performing a filtering process on a reference signal corresponding to noise, an identifying unit configured to identify a peak frequency in an impedance frequency characteristic of an actuator, a peak frequency storage unit configured to store an initial peak frequency of the actuator, a first determination unit configured to determine whether or not a difference between the peak frequency currently identified and the initial peak frequency is greater than or equal to a threshold value, and a control unit configured to change a characteristic of the control signal generated by the control signal generating unit when the first determination unit determines that the difference is greater than or equal to the threshold value.

A paving machine includes a plurality of sensor(s) for generating sensor data associated with a paving operation. Criteria associated with paving mat defects are compared against the sensor data to determine whether the criteria is satisfied and whether paving mat defects are predicted. For example, criteria may include whether a hopper of the paving machine is activated, whether a screed assembly of the paving machine is floating, a speed of the paving machine, and whether heat is applied to the screed assembly. In instances where defects are predicted, notifications of such may be provided, or displayed, on a control interface of the paving machine.

A display system may include a camera configured to capture an image of a calibration reference associated with an automobile, a display, and a controller in communication with the camera and the display. The controller may be configured to selectively adjust a color temperature of the display based on the image of the calibration reference.

A method for controlling a display system of a motor vehicle via a controller is provided. An image is generated on a surface of the motor vehicle, and an object placed on the surface is detected. The image is adjusted such that at least a portion of the image is moved from a first area of the surface in which the object has been detected to a second area of the surface. A display system for a motor vehicle configured to perform the method is also provided.

A vehicle control apparatus includes a second display device which is connected to a driving support ECU, and a meter ECU. The driving support ECU performs a plurality of diving support functions by executing a plurality of driving support controls. The meter ECU hides an integrated telltale image in a predetermined area of the second display device when all of a plurality of recommended driving support functions selected among the driving support functions have been set in the valid states. The meter ECU displays the integrated telltale image in the predetermined area of the second display device when at least one of the recommended driving support functions which has been set in the invalid state is present.

A display device of a vehicle on which a CO.sub.2 recovery device is mounted, the CO.sub.2 recovery device through which gas circulates recovering carbon dioxide from the gas, the display device includes: a controller configured to control the vehicle, the controller including a recovery state determination unit configured to determine a recovery amount or a recovery state of the carbon dioxide recovered by the CO.sub.2 recovery device and an image data creation unit configured to create image data corresponding to the recovery amount or the recovery state detected by the recovery state determination unit; and a display screen configured to receive the image data and display an image corresponding to the image data, wherein the image data and the image vary depending on the recovery amount or the recovery state.
