A vehicular display control device that is configured to: display, at a display, an image of a switch that causes a transition from a first state to a second state in response to being pressed a first time and does not cause a return from the second state to the first state in response to being pressed a second time or more than a second time; and display, at the display, a text string indicating that the transition to the second state is complete in response to the switch having been pressed once in a state in which the image is displayed.

The proposed invention relates to methods for controlling energy consumption by a motor vehicle, and can be used in transportation industry. The technical problem to be solved by the claimed invention is to provide a user device that do not possess the drawbacks of the prior art and thus make it possible to generate an accurate energy-efficient track for a motor vehicle that allows to reduce energy consumption by the motor vehicle on the specific portion of the route, as well as to reliably signal about energy consumption by the motor vehicle and the ways of reducing its energy consumption.

An information presentation device, mounted on a vehicle for which automatic evacuation control functions when it is difficult for a driver to continue driving the vehicle, and presenting information to an occupant of the vehicle except the driver by a display in a display area that is visually recognizable by the occupant, includes: an operation information acquisition unit that acquires operation information of the automatic evacuation control; and a display generation unit that generates an occupant notification display that is displayed in the display area to notify information relating to the automatic evacuation control when the automatic evacuation control is in operation. The occupant notification display includes: an explanatory image that shows an explanation of a process executed currently; and a progress image that indicates a degree of progress in the automatic evacuation control.

A method for the performance-enhancing driver assistance of a road vehicle on a track comprising the steps of:

determining, in use, the current position and the current orientation of the road vehicle on the track by means of a tracking device; identifying an optimal trajectory in relation to the conformation of the track and/or to the road vehicle; determining, in use, a relative position of the road vehicle with respect to the optimal trajectory by identifying a longitudinal relative position on the optimal trajectory; suggesting to the driver, by means of one or more colours emitted or assumed by a light interface device, depending on the longitudinal relative position, one or more actions to be performed to vary a longitudinal dynamic of the road vehicle in order to perform a mission optimising the performance on the track.

In cases in which an other vehicle traveling along an adjacent lane, which is adjacent to a travel lane of a host vehicle is executing a cut-in operation to move from the adjacent lane to a cut-in position ahead of the host vehicle in the travel lane, a processor controls a display section configured to display a travel lane image representing the travel lane, an adjacent lane image representing the adjacent lane, a lane boundary line image representing a lane boundary line defining a boundary between the travel lane and the adjacent lane, and an other vehicle image representing the other vehicle, such that the display section causes the other vehicle image to move in a discontinuous manner from a first position on the adjacent lane image to a second position on the lane boundary line image.

A vehicle display device includes: a display section that is provided inside a vehicle cabin and that includes, at a display area, a specific display region that displays plural plans scheduled to be implemented with respect to a vehicle, arranged in an order in which the plural plans are scheduled to be implemented; and a control section configured to cause display of, between a first plan, which is one plan among the plural plans, and a second plan, which is scheduled to be implemented next after the first plan, at the specific display region, an alternative plan that has a possibility of being implemented instead of the first plan.

A controller and method for real-time customization of presentation features of a vehicle. A method includes collecting a first dataset about a knowledge level of an operator of the vehicle, wherein the first dataset is collected with respect to a feature of the vehicle; collecting, using at least one sensor, a second dataset regarding an external environment of the vehicle and a cabin of the vehicle; determining, based on the first dataset and the second dataset, a presentation feature from a plurality of presentation features associated with the feature of the vehicle; customizing the presentation feature based on at least the first dataset, wherein the customization is performed in real-time when the operator operates the vehicle; and presenting the presentation feature to the operator of the vehicle.

A display control device is configured to include a pedal operation detecting unit to detect a pedal operation of a vehicle, and a display mode switching unit to switch a display mode of a meter, out of meters displayed on an instrument panel of the vehicle, whose presentation information is related to the pedal operation depending on a detection result of the pedal operation by the pedal operation detecting unit.

An arousal level prediction apparatus and method are disclosed. The arousal level prediction apparatus obtains first biological information indicating current biological information of the user, obtains first environment information indicating a current environment around the user, and obtains living information of the user indicating an activity history of the user. The arousal level predication apparatus includes a process that calculates a first arousal level indicating a current arousal level of the user based on the first biological information, predicts a second arousal level, which is an arousal level of the user at a certain period of time later, based on the first arousal level, the first environment information and the living information, and outputs the second arousal level.

A display control device includes: a state acquisition unit that acquires a vehicle state; and a display control unit that when a vehicle state is a warning state requiring a warning to a driver, displays a warning icon on a first display device and displays a type of the warning state and relevant information on a second display device provided closer to a center in a vehicle width direction relative to the first display device.
