PROJECTION ON A VEHICLE WINDOW
A system includes a camera aimed externally to a vehicle, a window of the vehicle, a projector positioned to project on the window, and a computer communicatively coupled to the camera and the projector. The computer is programmed to, upon receiving data from the camera indicating a first person outside the vehicle, instruct the projector to project an image on the window depicting a second person inside the vehicle.
APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING DISPLAY OF VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for controlling a multi-image display provided in a vehicle, and a method thereof. According to the present disclosure, a multi-image display device may simultaneously output two or more images separated depending on an output angle or an optical frequency, and a first reflection member provided in an indoor ceiling of the vehicle may reflect one image among the two or more images output from the multi-image display device.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE OPERATION OF AT LEAST ONE COMPONENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to establishing bidirectional communication between a brain wave processing device and a vehicle to control at least one vehicle component of the vehicle. For this purpose, a brain-computer communication channel is provided between the brain wave processing device and the respective vehicle component. Subsequently, a control signal is determined as a function of a brain wave of the operator of the brain wave processing device and transmitted via the brain-computer communication channel to adapt at least one operating parameter of the respective vehicle component. This causes a change in the operating state of the respective vehicle component. Depending on this, an output signal is generated and is assigned to the change in the operating state of the vehicle component. This output signal is transmitted back to the brain wave processing device via the brain-computer communication channel and is output to the operator by means of an output unit of the brain wave processing device.
SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING MEDIA PLAY
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a system for controlling media play comprising: a control target recognition unit configured to recognize target medium that is to be controlled by the user, among mediums that are played using a vehicle display, a control command generation unit configured to generate a control command according to a result of recognizing a user's request for the target medium; and a medium control unit configured to control the target medium according to the control command.
Blinker Steering Wheel Buttons
The Blinker Button is the only product of its kind that integrates the blinker turn signal buttons onto the steering wheel to provide drivers with a quicker method of signaling their turns. This unprecedented product is uniquely designed with buttons that are specifically developed for the right and left thumb and that are strategically located on the top of the steering wheel where individuals most commonly hold their steering wheel, in the 10 and 2 and/or 9 and 3, clock-reference training for operating a vehicle. The disclosure also includes a programmable logic configured to activate the left turn signal automatically based on a predetermined left rotation of the steering wheel and configured to activate the right turn signal automatically based on a predetermined right rotation of the steering wheel in relation to a zero rotation of the steering wheel for a straight travel of the vehicle.
Vehicle interaction system as well as corresponding vehicle and method
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an interaction system for a first vehicle is provided, which comprises a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the latter to implement steps comprising: receiving a first input from the first vehicle and displaying a first avatar on a display; and receiving a second input from a second vehicle and displaying a second avatar on the display, wherein the first input and the second input are updated in real time, and the first avatar and the second avatar dynamically change accordingly.
COMPONENT FOR VEHICLE INTERIOR
A component for a vehicle interior may comprise a housing; a cover structure comprising a cover surface; and a user interface at the cover surface comprising a light display. The light display may comprise a light guide comprising a projection. The cover structure may comprise a cover base and a cover layer. The cover layer may be molded on the cover base. The cover base may comprise the light guide. The cover layer may comprise an aperture. The projection may extend into the aperture. The cover base may comprise an aperture, recess, notch and/or indentation. The cover layer may comprise a generally opaque material preventing visibility of a recess in the cover base. The cover base may comprise a different color and/or softness than the cover layer. The cover structure may comprise apertures and/or recesses for the light guide.
Display systems and methods for a recreational vehicle
The present application discloses systems and methods to present information to recreational vehicle riders and to provide customizable visual information to recreational vehicle riders. The present application further discloses systems and methods to connect and transmit audio information between a driver portable communication device and a driver audio interface device through the recreational vehicle and audio information between a passenger portable communication device and a passenger audio interface device.
Systems and methods for generating a context-dependent experience for a driver
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.
INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, VEHICLE, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
A vehicle includes a first speaker, a data communications device, and an information processing device. The information processing device executes the followings: receiving a user operation to make a volume change of audio output from a first speaker provided in a vehicle, the user operation being input into a volume adjustment portion; and while the data communications device outputs audio from a second speaker, notifying the data communications device of the volume change made by the user operation input into a volume adjustment portion.
