Systems, methods, and computer readable storage media provide dynamic chassis and tire status indications associated with a vehicle. Lift axle status data may be graphically represented by a lift axle indicator dynamically provided in a shared notification/messaging space positioned within the driver's line of sight during a lift axle transition. The lift axle indicator may include a side-view representation of the vehicle including a plurality of axle sections indicating the status of each axle. The lift axle indicator may be suppressed when air pressure is stabilized. Additionally, a graphical representation of data associated with statuses (e.g., air pressure, temperature) of each tire may be provided in a top-down view representation of the vehicle including its associated tire/axle configuration and the tire pressure for each tire. The graphical representation may be configured to reflect the correct number of axles and tires per position, and may further include a tractor versus trailer designation.

A display device for displaying at least one of outputs related to traveling of a hybrid vehicle includes a first area that indicates a first output in a first mode and indicates a second output in a second mode, a second area provided side by side with the first area and that indicates a third output in the second mode, and a third area provided in a position adjacent to the second area, and that indicates a range of the first output where a possibility that the internal combustion engine starts is high. The first area has a first display portion that changes according to the first output in the first mode and the second output in the second mode. The second area has a second display portion that changes according to the third output in the second mode.

A display control device is formed to include a gearshift operation detecting unit to detect an operation of a gearshift of a vehicle and output gear switch information indicating a switch content of a gear position of the vehicle accompanying the operation of the gearshift, and a display control unit to acquire display data corresponding to the switch content indicated by the gear switch information output from the gearshift operation detecting unit from a display data storage unit that stores display data of an image illustrating a transition of a vehicle state when the gear position of the vehicle is switched for each of switch patterns of the gear position, and display an image on an instrument panel of the vehicle depending on the acquired display data.

A method for pairing a key fob with a control unit is provided. The key fob executes an ID authenticated key agreement protocol with a pairing device based on a key fob identification to authenticate one another and to generate a first encryption key. The pairing device encrypts a control unit identification using the first encryption key. The key fob receives the encrypted control unit identification transmitted from the pairing device. The key fob then executes an ID authenticated key agreement protocol with the control unit based on the control unit identification to authenticate one another and to generate a second encryption key. The key fob then receives an operational key transmitted from the control unit that is encrypted with the second encryption key.

An image rendering apparatus includes a light source unit, a detecting unit, an optical scanner, a light source driving unit, and an adjusting unit. The light source driving unit is configured to control the light source unit in such a way that a rendered image is generated by the scan of the optical scanner inside a scan area scanned by the optical scanner and that a characteristic laser beam is emitted at a position and in a pattern corresponding to a rendered content of the rendered image. The rendered image includes an indicator related to a speed of a vehicle. The light source driving unit is configured to control the light source unit to emit the characteristics detecting laser beam in such a way that a scale for the indicator related to the speed of the vehicle is rendered.

There is provided a renderer 5 that renders a graphics indicator 7b (or 7f) which is displayed on a display screen 7a of a display 7 and which indicates an indication value in synchronization with a short hand 8a.

A vehicle part including a light source capable of emitting a light image, a micro-mirror plate capable of projecting the light image outside the vehicle part in the form of a hologram, a privacy filter located between the light source and the hologram, and a sensor capable of detecting the presence of any object in a projection plane coinciding at least partially with the hologram.

According to one embodiment, when displaying an image on a display panel, projecting an image which is displayed on the display panel, inclining the image which is projected from the display panel at a predetermined angle of bend, and reflecting the image which is projected from the display panel via a prism and guiding the image to a projection surface, a display device corrects input picture image of the prism based on characteristics contrary to the chromatic aberration characteristics of the prism.

A vision system for a vehicle includes a forward viewing camera disposed at a mirror head of an interior rearview mirror assembly of the vehicle and having a forward field of view through the windshield of the vehicle. A sensor is disposed at the mirror head and determines a change in position of the mirror head relative to a mirror mount of the mirror assembly when the vehicle driver adjusts the mirror head. A control includes a processor operable to process image data captured by the forward viewing camera. Responsive to determination by the sensor of a change of position of the forward viewing camera relative to the mirror mount, the control selects an active sub-array of photosensors to provide an effective field of view of the forward viewing camera. The processor processes image data captured by the active sub-array of photosensors for a driver assistance system of the vehicle.

A parking assistance apparatus includes a first sensor configured to sense a first environment corresponding to a first distance around a vehicle; a second sensor configured to sense a second environment corresponding to a second distance around the vehicle that is greater than the first distance; and a display configured to display a graphic image. The parking assistance apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to: acquire first information regarding the first environment around the vehicle and second information regarding the second environment around the vehicle; detect an available parking space based on the first information and based on the second information; and based on an available parking space being detected outside of the first environment, control the display to display information regarding the available parking space.
