A display system equipped to a vehicle includes a display screen, a notification section, a determination section, and a display control section. The display screen displays information for a vehicle occupant. The notification section preliminarily notifies the vehicle occupant of an information update to be performed on the display screen. The determination section determines whether the vehicle occupant pays attention to the display screen after the notification section notifies of the information update. The display control section performs the information update in order to display new information on the display screen when the determination section determines that the vehicle occupant pays attention to the display screen.

A vehicle display device includes a controller that controls an image projection unit on the basis of acquired information regarding a vehicle and information on a face orientation and eye point of a driver acquired from an image analysis unit to perform a display image control for displaying a virtual image at a predetermined position in a virtual image display region. In a case where the acquired information regarding the vehicle is state change information, the controller performs a display image control for a display image displayed by the image projection unit so that a state change virtual image S1 corresponding to the state change information is displayed in the same display form in both of a right monocular viewing region and a left monocular viewing region at the same time.

It is determined whether a driver is gazing at a gaze target object in the eye gaze direction, and the eye gaze of the driver is guided by changing a display mode of the gaze target object determined to be gazed at by the driver. Calibration of eye gaze direction detection information is accurately and promptly executed.

A driver assistance system enables accelerate awareness of a danger source by the driver of a motor vehicle. The driver assistance system includes a display field that, from the viewpoint of the driver, is larger than a primary field of vision, which can be scanned without eye movement on the part of the vehicle driver. The driver assistance system also includes a control unit for displaying signs at different locations in the display field, and a hazard detection unit for detecting at least the direction in which a hazard outside the vehicle is located from the viewpoint of the driver. The control unit is configured to first display a preliminary signal in a preferred direction from the viewpoint of the driver, and then to display at least a first follow-up signal in an intermediate direction between the preferred direction and the direction in which the danger source is located.

The embodiments of the present invention provide a head-up display, a head-up display method and a vehicle-mounted display device. The head-up display includes: a digital light processing unit used for generating an imaging beam; a reflector unit used for reflecting the imaging beam to a reflective surface cooperating with the head-up display to form an image; and an adjusting unit used for adjusting a direction of the reflector unit, thereby providing a desired depth to the image. In the embodiments of the invention, by presenting an image with a desired depth, the displayed information can be fused together with the environment. In this way, information can be presented in the best mode, visual fatigue of the driver can also be effectively avoided, thereby avoiding danger.

A method for assisting a driver in activating an automatic driving mode of a vehicle involves determining the conditions required for an autonomous driving mode and determining a condition not fulfilled in the current driving state which blocks an activation of the autonomous driving mode. An object in the vehicle environment that is in context with an unfulfilled condition is also determined. The object in context with the unfulfilled condition is identified in a representation of the vehicle environment or by projection onto a windscreen, such that a driving maneuver required for enabling an autonomous driving operation is conveyed.

A driving assistance device of an embodiment includes a recognizer that recognizes a state of a surrounding object that is an object present in the surroundings of a vehicle and a traveling status of the vehicle, a detector that detects a first direction that is a direction of a line of sight of a driver of the vehicle, a determiner that determines whether or not the surrounding object is a target object to be watched by the driver on the basis of the state of the surrounding object and the traveling status, and a display controller that, in a case where it is determined that the surrounding object is the target object, displays first information for guiding the line of sight of the driver toward the target object on one or a plurality of displays on the basis of the first direction detected by the detector and a second direction in which the target object is present when viewed from the driver, in which the display controller determines at least one display to display the first information from among the plurality of displays on the basis of the first direction detected by the detector, or determines a mode of the first information to be displayed on the display.

A vehicle control device includes a recognizer that recognizes another vehicle present in the surroundings of an own vehicle, a detector that detects an orientation of a face or a line of sight of a driver of the own vehicle, an output controller that causes an outputter to, on the basis of a position of the other vehicle recognized by the recognizer and present in a second lane adjacent to a first lane in which the own vehicle is present, output predetermined information indicating that the other vehicle is present in the second lane, a driving controller that performs automated driving for controlling at least one of a speed or steering of the own vehicle on the basis of the recognition result from the recognizer and the detection result from the detector and reduces a level of the automated driving in a case where the orientation detected by the detector is not within an allowable range, and a determiner that determines the allowable range on the basis of the orientation detected by the detector after the predetermined information is output by the outputter.

The disclosure includes a system and method for wireless data sharing between a mobile client device and a three-dimensional heads-up display unit. A system may include a three-dimensional heads-up display unit (“3D HUD”) installed in a vehicle. The system may include a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: establish a peer-to-peer video stream between a mobile client device and the vehicle; generate live video data for providing a video stream for causing a screen of the mobile client device to display visual content of the 3D HUD that includes substantially live images depicting what the driver of the vehicle sees when looking at the 3D HUD; and stream the live video data to the mobile client device to cause the screen of the mobile client device to display the video stream that depicts what the driver of the vehicle sees when looking at the 3D HUD.

A system and method for identifying content relevant to a vehicle occupant using a rotatably-mounted sensor in a field of view of the vehicle occupant. The rotatably-mounted sensor collects information and data from its surroundings. The information and data is processes to identify relevant content to be presented to the vehicle occupant. The rotatably-mounted sensor is configured to rotate in a manner that directs the occupants gaze in a direction of the relevant content being presented. The relevant content may be selected based on information that is known about the vehicle occupant, the vehicle location, the vehicle destination, the vehicle surroundings associated with the location and/or destination, and vendor relationships.
