Disclosed is a base unit including a video link hub electrically connected to a user interface device to transmit a signal, a first system-on-chip (SoC) configured to provide a first infotainment function, and a processor configured to determine whether the first SoC is operating abnormally. When a second SoC is powered on, the first SoC performs authentication with respect to the second SoC, and when the processor determines that the first SoC is operating normally, the first SoC generates a first execution signal for display of a composite infotainment function, obtained by combining the first infotainment function with a second infotainment function provided by the second SoC, on the user interface device, and transmits the first execution signal to the video link hub, and the processor controls the video link hub to transmit the first execution signal to the user interface device.

Devices, systems, and methods for management of electrical resources for electric vehicles. A method may include receiving, by a vehicle, sensor data indicative of a first luminosity of a location, and determining that the first luminosity of the location exceeds a luminosity threshold. The method may include determining, based on the first luminosity exceeding the luminosity threshold, a second luminosity to apply to lights of the vehicle while the vehicle is at the location, the second luminosity greater than zero. The method may include applying the second luminosity to the lights while the vehicle is at the location.

A device that uses brainwave activity to allow a user to perform hands-free tasks is disclosed. For example, the device can include a transparent display, an electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor, and a processing circuitry coupled to the transparent display and the EEG sensor. The EEG sensor can be configured to sense an EEG signal corresponding to brain activity associated with a user of the device. The processing circuitry can be configured to display a visual stimulus on the transparent display and generate a control signal associated with a task of the user based on the EEG signal. Therefore, the user can use his brainwave activity to perform hands-free tasks.

A display control device includes a processor. The processor being configured to: output an image to a projection unit for projecting an image onto an interior surface of a vehicle; acquire vision information of an occupant of the vehicle; detect misalignment between a target image projected onto the interior surface and a design-reference state of the target image based on vision information acquired while the occupant fixates on the target image projected onto the interior surface; and correct an image projected by the projection unit based on the misalignment.

Disclosed are a head unit of a vehicle and a method for efficiently managing content of the head unit. In particular, the method for managing content for the head unit for the vehicle includes: receiving, from a server, a content change notification indicating an occurrence of a content change for a specific user; and, in response to the content change notification, either setting a content change flag for the specific user or immediately performing an update with the server according to the content change, based on an activation state of the vehicle and a user currently logged in the head unit.

A system and method for providing assistance to vehicle occupants is disclosed. The method includes the steps of receiving a set of static information and a set of dynamic information associated with each of a vehicle, a set of Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and an occupant within the vehicle; processing the set of static information and the set of dynamic information through at least one of a first Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Model and a rule engine; determining an accessibility score for the occupant in response to an event based on an output of the processing; generating at least one of at least one accessibility compliant HMI content for at least one of the set of HMIs and vehicle control content for the vehicle based on the accessibility score; and executing at least one of the at least one accessibility compliant HMI content and the vehicle control content.

A server including a server memory and a server processor is provided to execute a series of instructions. The instructions include storing position information of a vehicle, driving information, and fuel efficiency information transmitted at predetermined periods from the vehicle in the server memory. The instructions also include receiving weather information according to a vehicle position from a weather and transmitting an appropriate tire air pressure based on the weather information according to the vehicle position to the vehicle, transmitting an appropriate tire air pressure and a tire replacement time based on the weather information according to the vehicle position and the driving information to the vehicle, or transmitting an appropriate tire air pressure and a tire replacement time based on the fuel efficiency information to the vehicle.

An information processing device includes an interface configured to acquire position information of a vehicle which picks up a user and a user surrounding image which is obtained by imaging surroundings of the user using a terminal device carried by the user and a control unit configured to generate user surrounding data including data on an object present near the user based on the user surrounding image. The control unit is configured to generate an image based on the assumption that the user is seen from the vehicle as a virtual user image based on the position information of the vehicle and the user surrounding data and to output the virtual user image to the vehicle.

The disclosure relates generally to an in-vehicle feedback system, and more particularly, to an in-vehicle device with a display or graphical interface that collects driving data and provides feedback based on the driving data. The system may comprise an in-vehicle device that includes a graphical user interface and a processor and a data collection device wirelessly connected to the in-vehicle device. The in-vehicle device may be configured to receive vehicle telematics data from the data collection device and the processor may process the telematics data in real time and cause the telematics data to be displayed on the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface may include a speed display and an acceleration display.
