Display integrated into door
Power machines and loaders having doors with an integrated display that allows the display of information, such as gauges, user inputs, mapped obstacles, boundaries, etc., that allows the operator of the machine to see the displayed information closer to the line of sight with the work area. The display can show augmented reality information about a worksite.
Method for visualizing an inclination of a motor vehicle in the motor vehicle
A method for visualizing an inclination of a motor vehicle in the motor vehicle, in which the inclination of the motor vehicle is measured and made visible in the interior of the motor vehicle. The inclination is made visible by interior lighting of the motor vehicle. At least one virtual plane is formed, which intersects the motor vehicle horizontally when the latter is in a horizontal position and serves as a reference plane for displaying the inclination. Changes in the inclination of the motor vehicle are modeled dynamically by the interior lighting by the sequential and/or parallel activation of illuminants of the interior lighting.
PROGRAMMABLE INPUT DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE
A system for a vehicle includes a first input device and a second input device that provides a plurality of selectable input options. The plurality of selectable input options comprises a plurality of control input options for controlling a plurality of vehicle functions and an association input option for associating the first input device with at least one vehicle function suggested from among the plurality of vehicle functions. The at least one vehicle function is suggested based on historical use of the control input option that controls the at least one vehicle function and an accessibility score of the control input option.
DEVICE FOR INDICATING A TURN SIGNAL ON A MOTOR VEHICLE WINDOW
A device for indicating lock status of a motor vehicle door includes a door lock status indicator carried on a window of the motor vehicle door. A device for indicating a turn signal of a motor vehicle includes a turn signal indicator carried on a window of the motor vehicle. These devices may be combined into a single lighting module.
IN-VEHICLE OPERATION BUTTON INSTALLATION STRUCTURE
Provided is an in-vehicle operation button installation structure, including: a surface material in which a button operation unit is formed on a portion; and an operation button assembly attached to a back surface of the surface material and including a button corresponding to the button operation unit.
Passenger Communication Lighting
A passenger communication lighting display on or adjacent a touch bar on a passenger door of a transit vehicle comprises a display that can be controlled to display multiple colors continuous or blinking, and a control means causing the display to be dark when the door is closed, the display to be a first color when the operator has authorized opening, the display to flash a second color when the passenger has requested the door be opened, the display to be blinking the second color when the door is opening, the display to be continuously the second color when the door is resting in the open position, and the display to be blinking a third color while the door is closing.
Rear view monitoring device
A control ECU (10) executes left-side preliminary control for preventing an occupant from performing an operation of opening a left door when an object is predicted to reach a left virtual line segment (LVL) based on a position of the object. The control ECU executes right-side preliminary control for preventing the occupant from performing an operation of opening a right door when the object is predicted to reach a right virtual line segment (RVL) based on the position of the object. Further, the control ECU executes both-side preliminary control for preventing the occupant from performing an operation of opening both of the left door and the right door when the object is predicted to reach a central virtual line segment (CVL).
TOUCH DETECTION ON A CURVED SURFACE
A system includes a curved window and a light energy emitter arranged exterior to the curved window. The system includes a light energy receiver arranged exterior to the curved window and arranged to detect light energy emitted by the light energy emitter. The light energy passes over a touchpad provided on the curved window. A touch on the touchpad may be detected by the system.
DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE
A driving support device includes a projector and a screen in a cabin. The projector projects an image based on driving support information serving as assistance at the time of driving a vehicle. The screen includes a projection part on which the image based on the driving support information projected from a projecting unit of the projector is projected. The projecting unit of the projector and the projection part of the screen are disposed in a lower side of the vehicle with respect to an eye point of a driver, and the projecting unit of the projector is disposed in a lower side of the vehicle with respect to the gravity center position of the projection part of the screen. The projector is disposed so that reflection light related to an image based on the driving support information incident from the projecting unit reaches the eye point of the driver.
METHOD FOR PRESENTING INFORMATION UPON STARTING AN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE
A method for presenting information upon starting an automotive vehicle includes at least one step in which various parameters associated with the vehicle are verified. Also included is a step in which a particular light beam is projected onto a specific area of the passenger compartment of the vehicle when the state of a plurality of verified parameters allows the vehicle to be started.
