The disclosure is related to a method and a system for assisting a driver of a road vehicle. A data processing unit receives data representing at least a relative position of the road vehicle, outputs, through a display device and/or an interior lighting device, a visual alert when the data processing unit determines that the data fulfill a first condition, and outputs, through a sound-emitting device, an audible alert when the data processing unit determines that the data fulfill a second condition after fulfilling the first condition.

An in-vehicle information apparatus includes a main unit having a display device, and a navigation unit providing a navigation function to the main unit. The navigation unit includes a navigation processing unit a sub unit providing an addition function to the navigation unit, and a navigation unit screen generating unit which generates a navigation unit screen for displaying information concerning a function which the navigation unit provides. The main unit includes an operation unit which receives an input for selecting a function from a user, a main unit screen generating unit which generates a main unit screen for displaying information concerning a function which the main unit provides, and a video selector which selects one of the navigation unit screen and the main unit screen.

The invention relates to a heads-up display (1) comprising —an image generator (3), —a semi-reflecting display area (7) receiving light beams from said image generator (3), —characterized in that the semi-reflecting area (7) comprises at least one opaque portion or can be rendered opaque.

A method of controlling a VR device, in particular VR goggles, of a user in a vehicle interior of a vehicle via a communication link, includes vehicle data being received and evaluated, or receiving evaluated vehicle data via the communication link. At least one traffic event may be classified based on the evaluated vehicle data, to generate control commands for controlling the VR device, by way of which the user of the VR device may be alerted to a response of the vehicle to the traffic event, which may be unpredictable to the user. The examples further relate to a vehicle arrangement.

An onboard liquid crystal display device and a method of manufacturing the onboard liquid crystal display device, and a vehicle having the onboard liquid crystal display device are disclosed. The onboard liquid crystal display device includes at least one backlight source and a liquid crystal panel having no color filter layer.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for display graphics in a vehicle display. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of determining that an application that displays data in a non-safety critical information portion of a vehicle display has launched, wherein the vehicle display displays non-safety critical information in the non-safety critical information portion and safety critical information in a safety critical information portion of the display; providing, to a vehicle system that manages the vehicle display, context that characterizes the application; receiving, from the vehicle system, display state information that identifies an area of the vehicle display that is currently allocated to the non-safety critical information portion; generating, using the display state information, application display information that defines an area allocated for displaying the non-safety critical information generated by the application; and providing the application display information to the application.

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.

A method for playback of messages in a transportation vehicle, wherein messages are received by components of the transportation vehicle. In response to messages being present at the same time, these messages are prioritized relative to each other based on a category allocated in each case. The prioritized messages are played back according to the respective priorities thereof.

A vehicle is provided that includes a bio-signal sensor configured to measure a bio-signal of a user and a feedback device configured to interact with the bio-signal of the user. A controller determines a current emotional state of the user based on the bio-signal and adjusts an output signal of the feedback device based on the current emotional state. The output signal leads to a target emotional state in which the degree of excitability is a reduced emotional state.

The present application relates to a display controller and display system and a method of operating thereof. At a filtering stage display image data are generated on the basis of received pixel-mapped image data. The filtering operation accepts a plurality of pixels out of the received image data as input values to generate a pixel of the display image data as output value. It is further determined whether the plurality of pixels being the input values to the filtering operation are marked. If all pixels thereof are marked, the output pixel being the output value is marked. The marked pixels in the display image data are validated on the basis reference data.
