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.

A mobile device, vehicular electronic device, method and medium thereof are disclosed. The mobile device includes a communicator, display, memory/medium, and processor. The processor implements one method, including: receive context information and driving state information from the vehicular device, generate a control interface based on the received information, and output the control interface. The vehicular control device includes a communicator, memory/medium, and processor, which transmits the context information and drive state information to the mobile device, receives input information generated through the control interface as transmitted by the mobile device, and executes a corresponding control operation based on the input information.

The invention relates to systems and methods for executing functions on a mobile device based on gestures and commands of a user inside a vehicle. The system comprises a head-up display that reflects the screen of a mobile device and a motion-detection device connected to the mobile device. The motion-detection device is configured to gather information on the movement of the user's fingers regardless of whether or not the user's hands are on the steering wheel of the vehicle. The mobile device is configured to classify the movement of the user's fingers in a predetermined gesture associated with a predefined instruction, based on which a function is executed on the mobile device.

In an embodiment a vehicle system includes a driver terminal installed at a driver seat of a vehicle, a fellow passenger terminal installed at a non-driver seat of the vehicle and a processor configured to control the driver terminal to execute a navigation program for providing travel route information for a first destination by the driver terminal when destination information of the first destination is received through the driver terminal or the fellow passenger terminal, wherein the travel route information includes a map for displaying a shortest travel route to the first destination from a real-time position of the vehicle.

The invention relates to a round instrument for a vehicle (1), comprising a vehicle interface (3) for transmitting signals (4) between the vehicle (1) and the round instrument (2), comprising an electrical controller (5) for processing at least one signal (4) transmitted from the vehicle (1) to the round instrument (2) via the vehicle interface (3) and for generating at least one piece of vehicle information (6) from the signal (4), comprising a communication interface (7) for communication between the round instrument (2) and a mobile device (8), in particular a smartphone, and comprising a front digital display (9) for displaying the at least one piece of vehicle information (6) and/or a piece of mobile information (10) received from the mobile device (8) via the communication interface (7).

Implementations relate to interactions, over a wireless communication modality, between an automated assistant of an automobile computer system, and separate client device(s). In some of those implementations, the client device(s) can be paired with the automobile computer system, and the client device(s) and the automobile computer system can include separate instances of an automated assistant, which can be associated with different user accounts. In some additional or alternative implementations, particular actions to be performed by a local application of a client device can be advanced via user interaction with the automobile automated assistant, despite a counterpart to the local application not being installed directly on automobile computer system. For example, despite an automobile computer system not having a third-party messaging application installed, the automobile automated assistant can access requested actions to be performed by the third-party messaging application in order to further a requested action. The automobile computer system can transmit, via the wireless communication modality, content to cause the third-party application to further the requested action.

Disclosed are a system and method for controlling a vehicle. The system for controlling a vehicle includes a vehicle control device that collects vehicle information and driver information, and a server that determines a streaming cluster image corresponding to the vehicle information and the driver information based on a learned cluster image.

Data characterizing a relative arrangement of vehicle occupants with respect to one another are continuously transmitted to display devices worn on the heads of the vehicle occupants. Virtual environments are displayed as a function of these data.

A display method implemented using a display system for a vehicle, the method including the following steps: connecting said mobile terminal to the onboard display device; displaying, on the screen of the onboard display device, a graphical user interface comprising a first menu representing said plurality of applications as icons; generating a graphical user interface on the touch screen of the mobile terminal; and using the touch screen of the mobile terminal as a touchpad to navigate the first menu of the graphical user interface displayed on the screen of the onboard display device, a swiping gesture by a user's finger on the touch screen of the mobile terminal generating the display of movement of a marking area in the first menu of the graphical user interface displayed on the screen of the onboard display device, the marking area indicating the selection of an icon.

A method of automatically switching between manners of answering calls by vehicle occupants in a vehicle connects a vehicle-mounted system with terminal device of occupant. Information as to persons in the vehicle is detected. Information as to different occupants allows method to recommend one of a first manner, a second manner, and a third manner of responding to an incoming call, the driver being able to select his preferred manner by pushbutton mounted on steering wheel. Driving safety is improved, and privacy of a personal conversation can be maintained. A vehicle-mounted system applying the method is also disclosed.
