A method for assigning control instructions in a vehicle includes reading in an occupant gaze datum via an interface to an occupant detection device of the vehicle, the occupant gaze datum representing a gaze of an occupant of the vehicle toward a device of the vehicle which is to be controlled; and assigning a control instruction of a first control device of the vehicle and/or a control instruction of a second control device of the vehicle to the device using the occupant gaze datum, in order to control the device with the first control device or the second control device.

A display apparatus includes a display panel configured to display an image, a front member on a front surface of the display panel, a driving circuit on a rear surface of the display panel and connected to the display panel, a supporting frame configured to surround a side surface of the display panel and a side surface of the driving circuit, a first support supported by the supporting frame and on the rear surface of the display panel, and a vibration generating module supported by the first support to vibrate the display panel.

An HUB system 1 is equipped with an HUB device 10 for displaying a video in front of a vehicle; a communication unit 31 for connecting a mobile device 3 with the HUD device and establishing communication; a speaker 32 for outputting sounds to a driver; a microphone 33 for picking up the voices of the driver; a sound recognition unit 34 for analyzing the picked-up voices; and an in-vehicle camera 35 for photographing the face of the driver. When there is an incoming call at the mobile device, a calling indication of the mobile device 3 is displayed on the display screen of the HUD device, an incoming call sound is outputted from the speaker, and on the basis of a result of an analysis of voices uttered by the driver performed by the sound recognition unit, the conversation operations of the mobile device are started or ended.

A vehicle includes a camera configured to capture an image of the interior of a vehicle, an output apparatus configured to output an image and a sound, a scent output apparatus configured to output a scent, and a control apparatus. The control apparatus is configured to determine whether only a pet or only an infant is on board the vehicle based on an image captured by the camera, and upon determining that only a pet or only an infant is on board the vehicle, execute an anxiety reduction action to output an image, a sound, and/or a scent.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle control device comprising: a touch surface (2) for detecting contact from a finger of a user and locating the contact on the touch surface (2); and a haptic and/or audio feedback module (4) configured such as to cause the touch surface (2) to vibrate and/or such as to generate audio feedback to the user, in response to contact with the touch surface (2), characterized in that said motor vehicle control device comprises a control unit (5) configured such as to control the haptic and/or audio feedback module (4) such that the value of at least one parameter of the haptic and/or audio feedback depends on the distance (D) between the location (P1) of the finger of the user and a target area (Zc) for controlling the touch surface (2). The invention also relates to a control method.

A selection controller for manual selection of an operating mode and/or operating characteristics of an audio control device is disposed within an interior of a vehicle. The selection controller includes a selector element that is designed to allow a user to make the manual selection. The selecting element can be arranged at least in a first position that is not elevated from a control surface of the audio control device and in a second position that is elevated from the control surface of the audio control device.

A driving assistance apparatus includes: a determination processing unit to determine whether or not a vehicle is present around a target vehicle on the basis of detection information around the target vehicle; and a notification processing unit to notify information to a driver of the target vehicle, in which the notification processing unit notifies reference information of manual driving in a case where the determination processing unit determines that there is no vehicle ahead of the target vehicle.

A vehicle display control device includes a processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to perform. The processor is configured to identifying a specific vehicle that is another vehicle satisfying a specific condition based on information acquired according to communication from another vehicle located near a host vehicle, identifying a distance and a direction associated with the specific vehicle viewed from the host vehicle, and causing a display device to display a notification image capable of including a first area surrounding a host vehicle icon indicating the host vehicle and a second area surrounding the first area and a display icon indicating the position of the specific vehicle.

The invention relates to a control device for a motor vehicle, comprising: a tactile surface (2) for detecting the contact of the finger of a user and the movement of the finger on the tactile surface; and a haptic and/or acoustic feedback module (4) designed to make the tactile surface (2) vibrate and/or to generate an acoustic feedback for the user, in response to contact on the tactile surface (2); characterised in that it comprises a management unit (5) designed to manage the haptic feedback and/or acoustic feedback module (4) in order to generate a haptic and/or acoustic feedback of which at least one parameter of the haptic and/or acoustic feedback varies with the direction of movement of the finger on the tactile surface (2). The invention also relates to a control method.
