This document describes a pedestrian alert system that can draw a driver's attention to a pedestrian on or near a roadway. The described pedestrian alert system can help prevent collisions with pedestrians and other objects in poor visibility environments or when drivers may be distracted. For example, a system can determine a presence of an object in or near a travel path of a host vehicle. The system can also determine the object's position relative to the host vehicle and control a light bar to provide an indication of the object. The indication can have specific characteristics to indicate the object's position relative to the host vehicle. In this way, the described pedestrian alert system can utilize sensors to focus a driver's attention on an object before a potential crash occurs and reduce the number of traffic-related deaths.

The attention calling system includes a detection unit for detecting an object around a moving body, and a attention calling unit for outputting a visual display in a horizontally extending belt-like range on an interior structure of the moving body using a light projection device. The attention calling unit outputs the visual display in the belt-like range at a position corresponding to a direction of the object.

A display control device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a browsing history including a record indicating that vehicle driving information corresponding to each of a plurality of display elements was displayed on the display unit of each of the driver of a vehicle and a manager who manages the driver, an identification unit configured to identify a specific element from among the display elements based on the difference between the number of browses by the driver and the number of browses by the manager that are recorded in the browsing history acquired by the acquisition unit, and a display control unit configured to cause the display unit of at least one of the driver and the manager to display the specific element with the display form of the specific element, identified by the identification unit, made different from the display form of the other display elements.

An indoor display apparatus of a vehicle may include a vehicle state inputter configured to receive a vehicle state, a front detector configured to detect an object ahead of a vehicle, a flip-dot display installed at a top of a cockpit module, and being configured to implement a pixel by rotating a flip disk, an illuminator installed around the flip-dot display, and being configured to illuminate the surface of the flip-dot display, and a controller configured to receive an operation mode of the vehicle from the vehicle state inputter, to receive a distance to the object and a direction of the object from the front detector, and to operate the flip-dot display and the illuminator.

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to controlling display attributes within a visual interface for enhancing stimuli and responses of a user. In one embodiment, a method includes selecting display attributes related to a first layer of an image and a second layer of the image, wherein the image is associated with an interface to control a component. The method also includes oscillating, at a frequency, between first values of the display attributes for displaying the first layer. The method also includes oscillating, at a harmonic of the frequency, between second values of the display attributes for displaying the second layer in parallel with the first layer until detecting a selection associated with the interface.

A display control apparatus includes: a first selector that, when line-of-sight information indicating a direction in which a line of sight of an occupant of a vehicle is directed is outputted, selects one of a plurality of display apparatuses as a display apparatus for displaying information provided to the occupant of the vehicle, the plurality of display apparatuses being configured to display the information, the one display apparatus existing in the direction in which the line of sight is directed; and a second selector that, when the line-of-sight information is not outputted, selects, as the display apparatus for displaying the information, one of the plurality of display apparatuses to which the line of sight of the occupant is more likely to be directed than to other display apparatuses.

This disclosure relates to a method for assisting a user of a motor vehicle when swerving around an obstacle on a movement path of the motor vehicle. A driver assistance device carries out the following: providing a warning signal which describes an object on the movement path and a collision area which is visible through a window, preferably a vehicle window of the motor vehicle in which the object is located; defining a swerving area visible through the vehicle window, in which a swerving point for travelling around the object is visible, generating an accentuation signal, which describes a measure for accentuating the swerving area, and transmitting the accentuation signal to an accentuation device. Depending on the accentuation signal, the measure for accentuating the swerving area is carried out. The accentuation device can control a heads-up display, a monitor integrated into the vehicle window and/or a headlight.

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device comprises: a display for displaying an image on a windshield of a transportation means; a first camera for capturing an image of a user riding in the transportation means; a second camera for capturing an image of the outside of the transportation means; and a processor for translating text included in the image captured by the second camera into any other language, and controlling the display such that the translated text is displayed on the windshield, wherein the processor displays the translated text on different areas of the windshield, on the basis of the driving speed of the transportation means and the gaze of the user in the image captured by the first camera.

A driving assistance apparatus includes a gaze detection portion detecting a gaze distribution of a driver for a vehicle, an image acquisition portion acquiring a captured image from an imaging device that captures an image in surroundings of the vehicle, a driver information acquisition portion acquiring driver information that allows identification of the driver for the vehicle, a generation portion generating a personalized saliency map based on the captured image and the driver information, the personalized saliency map that serves as a saliency map for the captured image and that differs depending on the driver, and a determination portion determining whether or not the driver looks at a visual confirmation target in the surroundings of the vehicle by comparing the gaze distribution detected by the gaze detection portion and the personalized saliency map generated by the generation portion.
