Disclosed is an electronic device for a vehicle, including a processor acquiring image data acquired by a camera mounted in a vehicle, determining a riding intention of an outside person based on the location, posture, and gesture of the outside person detected from the image data, and generating a control signal to stop the vehicle based on the riding intention.

A control system for a vehicle interior comprising a control element for a user to interact with is provided. The control element may comprise a sensing electrode configured to provide one or more electrical signals and a non-conductive cover material provided on or over the sensing electrode. The sensing electrode may be formed of or comprise a conductive plastic. The non-conductive cover material may be formed of or comprise a non-conductive plastic. The non-conductive cover material may be or comprise an outer layer, over-layer or skin of the control element. The non-conductive cover material may provide one or more touch interactive surfaces of the control element.

In an electronic shift operation apparatus, an operation of a haptic actuator is controlled depending on a kind of shifting stage signal (P.R.N.D) generated at the time of an operation of a shift button to generate a different type of haptic signal, and an operation of the haptic actuator is controlled depending on a distance to a rear object positioned behind a vehicle at the time of an operation of an R-stage button to additionally generate a haptic signal.

A power seat operating device for a vehicle has a switch module for operating a power seat of the vehicle. In particular, the switch module includes a plurality of seesaw type switches to control operation directions of the power seat, and the operation directions of the power seat according to the operation of each switch is displayed with arrows on a display, thereby improving the switch operating convenience of the user such as accurately controlling the operation direction of the power seat according to the switch operation by the user, and accurately recognizing a selection state and an operation direction of the switch desired by the user.

Provided is a smart garnish installed on an automobile interior material (a door trim, an instrument panel, a console, or the like), and to a smart garnish for an automobile which is driven when a capacitance change is sensed by a pressed deformation of an upper case through a capacitive touch sensor pad formed of a ground (GND) and capacitive touch sensors corresponding to symbols and capacitive force sensors distributed corresponding to the ground and thus the touch and force of the desired symbol are sensed without noise.

When an occupant has performed a specific operation that is an operation different to an input operation on a state switching section while in a state in which a display section capable of displaying information related to an input section is not displaying the information, a processor causes the information to be displayed on the display section and places the input section in an input enabled state in which the input operation is receivable. Moreover, when the occupant has not performed the specific operation on the state switching section while in state in which the information is not being displayed on the display section, the processor does not cause the information to be displayed on the display section and places the input section in an input disabled state in which the input operation is not receivable.

A processor controls a first display section and a second display section provided to a vehicle such that when an occupant of the vehicle has performed a first operation while in a state in which a message is being displayed on the first display section and the second display section, the message is cleared from the first display section and the message continues to be displayed on the second display section.

An apparatus for carrying out inputs in an input capturing unit that can be coupled to the apparatus. An operating device has a receiving part and an operating element that is rotatably mounted on the receiving part. The operating element can be rotated by a finger to effect an input. A torque for the rotation of the control element can be adjusted by way of a controllable braking device. In addition, the control element has at least two actuating zones. The resistance to movement for the movability of the operating element can be adjusted depending on from which actuation zone the operating element is actuated and/or which actuation zone was previously activated.

A device for entering information includes an operating element and a control device. The device further includes an angle encoder configured to detect a rotational movement about an axis of rotation of the operating element, a touch encoder configured to detect a pressure movement of the operating element, and a transmission element configured to transmit data from the angle encoder and/or from the touch encoder to the control device. In addition, the device includes an energy transmission device configured to supply energy to the operating element via a cable-free transmission of energy.

A vehicular display control device including: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to: detect when an operation region including plural switches provided to a steering wheel has been operated; and in a case in which operation of the operation region has been detected, display, at a display region set in front of a driving seat, an operation region image corresponding to the operation region and a status image indicating a current status of a function allocated to the switch that is being operated among the plural switches.
