Steering wheel
A steering wheel according to the present invention for showing a plural driving information comprises: a display device including a screen, an operation device for outputting an operation instruction and a host. The host comprises an interface generating device connected to a storage unit, and connects to an Electronic Control Unit of a vehicle to obtain driving information. After receiving the driving information and the operation instruction input by the user through an operation device, the interface generating device divides the driving information into a plural shown information and hidden information, the shown information is added to a custom page transmitted to the display device, so that the screen shows the custom page and selected driving information.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION DEVICE FOR VEHICLE, METHOD THEREOF, AND STEERING WHEEL DEVICE
A device for blind spot detection of a vehicle, a method thereof and a steering wheel device are provided. The device includes a steering wheel, a lighting device, a blind spot detector, and a controller. The steering wheel comprises a configuration area including a fixed point, and the fixed point is represented as a virtual location of the vehicle. The lighting device includes a luminous light strip and a dimming driver. The luminous light strip assembled on the steering wheel surrounds the fixed point. The dimming driver controls lamp signals of the luminous light strip. The controller obtains a detection result of whether at least one object is approaching the vehicle, and controls the lamp signals to present a relative position between the vehicle and the at least one object and a degree of proximity between the vehicle and the at least one object according to the lamp signals.
Vehicular display device and roof module
A vehicular display device according to an embodiment includes a light shielding housing fixed to a surface of a roof of a vehicle on a cabin side and having a concave portion concave upward, an opening portion formed at a position facing a rear of the vehicle in the concave portion, and a display device having a display surface disposed in the opening portion with the display surface directed to the rear of the vehicle.
DISPLAY DEVICE OF VEHICLE
A display device of a vehicle includes: a display provided inside of the vehicle; an interior lighting device lighting up an inside surface of a passenger compartment of the vehicle at an outside of the display; and a control device controlling the display and the interior lighting device. The control device is configured so that when a condition for moving display stands, the display is made to show a moving display element moving toward an outer circumference of the display, and so that when the moving display element reaches the outer circumference of the display, the interior lighting device lights up an inside surface of a passenger compartment of the vehicle so that a light part lit by the interior lighting device appears to move successively from the moving display element.
IMAGE BOUNDARY INDICATORS FOR A HEADS UP DISPLAY
Examples of the present disclosure relate to a heads up display. The heads up display includes a picture generation unit configured to generate a virtual image, and boundary indicators disposed outside of an area of the picture generation unit along a perimeter of the picture generation unit. The boundary indicators include light emitting elements configured to generate a light signal to indicate the detection of a potential hazard. The heads up display also includes a controller configured to receive sensor data and activate all or a subset of the boundary indicators in response to the sensor data.
STEERING GRIP LIGHT BAR SYSTEMS
Various implementations include a light bar system for a steering wheel of a vehicle that includes a high intensity light source, a light diffusing layer, and an outer lens. For example, in certain implementations, the light diffusing layer is disposed between a plurality of high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) and an outer lens, and the light diffusing layer causes the light from the LEDs to appear as a continuous stream of light across a length of the lens and provides sufficiently bright lighting to warn or communicate with the driver in various ambient lighting conditions. In certain implementations, the outer lens is colored to blend in with the rest of the steering wheel when the LEDs are not activated.
Vehicle having an operator control and display device and method for operating such a vehicle
The invention relates to a vehicle having a detection device for detecting a property of a vehicle occupant and an operator control and display device which is coupled to the detection device, has a display region and is configured to display information in the display region and by means of which a symbol can be displayed in the display region as a function of the sensed property. It is provided here that the property which is detected by means of the detection device is a position of the vehicle occupant, and the operator control and display device is configured to display the symbol in a partial region of the display region which is determined as a function of the detected position, and to assign the symbol to the vehicle occupant in such a way that when there is a change in position of the vehicle occupant that the symbol follows the vehicle occupant. The invention also relates to a method for operating such a vehicle. The invention makes particularly flexible use of the vehicle possible.
METHOD FOR VISUALISING SENSOR DATA AND/OR MEASUREMENT DATA
A method for visualizing sensor data from the surroundings of a vehicle and/or measuring data from the vehicle uses light modules in the interior of the vehicle for the visualization of the sensor data. The sensor data is detected as video data, after which the video data is analyzed in relation to relevant recognizable structures, after which the relevant structures are transferred to a video sequence with a format fitting for the respective light module, and/or sensor data not detected as video data and/or measuring data is recalculated into video sequences via an algorithm, after which the video sequences from the different data are superimposed and displayed on the light modules.
LIGHT EMITTING UNIT FOR CONVEYANCE
It is intended to cause a light emitter to properly emit light for notifying an occupant of a movement direction of an object approaching a conveyance. A vehicle lighting device includes sensors (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) configured to detect an approaching object approaching a vehicle, light emitters (5) attached to the vehicle, and a control device (2) configured to control the light emitter (5) when the sensor (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) has detected the approaching object. The control device (2) controls the light emitter (5) such that a light emitting spot of the light emitter (5) moves along a direction corresponding to a movement direction of the approaching object.
Method and system for alerting a truck driver
It is aimed to provide a system for alerting a driver of a driver cabin of a motor vehicle, said system comprising: a plurality of light sources arranged in array to project a signal light against the windshield and/or side window, provided in the driver cabin along a horizontal contour of windshield and side windows, outside a line of sight of the driver, and arranged to show a mirror image of the light source in the windshield or side window, visible to the driver; a tracking controller, arranged to identify one or more objects to be tracked in the perimeter of the motor vehicle; a control system, coupled to the tracking controller for activating a number of light sources of the plurality of light sources, arranged to project a signal light indicative of said tracked object substantially centered along a virtual line of sight from the driver towards the identified object.
