A vehicle control system using a swivel operation of a smart device may include: a smart device mounted on a holder within a vehicle; and a control unit configured to receive swivel data according to a swivel operation performed to the smart device, and change and display a vehicle function control screen.

A computer-implemented method is provided for adjusting at least one of a visual or an auditory setting correlated to the provision of entertainment within a vehicle. The method includes receiving information indicative of one or more changes in behavior that coincides with a provision of entertainment within a vehicle. The information indicative of the one or more changes in behavior is based on data captured by one or more sensors of the vehicle. The method includes analyzing the one or more changes in behavior in order to determine a modification to the provision of entertainment within the vehicle. The modification is commensurate with the one or more changes in behavior. The method includes based on the determined modification, providing, an output signal for adjusting at least one of a visual or an auditory setting correlated to the provision of entertainment within the vehicle.

An example operation includes one or more of detecting a gesture in a transport, responsive to the gesture being detected, identifying an action to be performed by the transport, identifying currently engaged transport operations, determining whether performing the action will exceed a threshold transport operation level based on the currently engaged transport operations, and determining whether to perform or cancel the action corresponding to the detected gesture based on whether the threshold transport operation level will be exceeded.

A meter device includes a rotation shaft, a pointer provided in an end part of the rotation shaft and rotating integrally with the rotation shaft, an illumination light source which outputs visible rays to the pointer, a light source of infrared rays which is arranged in parallel to the illumination light source and outputs the infrared rays to the pointer, and a reflection part provided in the pointer to substantially reflect the visible rays into the pointer and to substantially pass and output the infrared rays from a central part of rotation of the pointer.

Systems and methods associated for providing haptic feedback are provided. For instance, data indicative of a feedback scheme associated with an input mechanism can be accessed. The feedback scheme includes one or more feedback points associated with a position of a moveable portion of the input mechanism. The input mechanism is configured to change positions responsive to an actuation of the input mechanism by a user. One or more positions of the moveable portion of the input mechanism can be determined as the input mechanism is actuated by the user. Operation of one or more feedback motors can be controlled to provide feedback to the user in accordance with the feedback scheme based at least in part on the determined one or more positions of the input mechanism.

A heads-up display device for a vehicle includes: a display component; a controller; and an execution component; wherein: the display component is configured to output a heads-up display image; the controller is configured to acquire a real-time vehicle speed of the vehicle, and generate an image distance control signal associated with the real-time vehicle speed of the vehicle; and the execution component is connected to the display component, and the execution component is configured to adjust a focal point of the display component according to the image distance control signal, and control an image distance of the heads-up display image displayed by the display component thus adjusting the focal point of the display component according to the change of the real-time vehicle speed.

A dashboard device of a vehicle includes a storage component and a processor. The storage component stores a plurality of different language packs and a first national table listing a first number of unique language indices associated respectively with the language packs. The processor is coupled to the storage component and is programmed to, in response to receipt of a machine code and a second number related to another plurality of unique language indices from a portable electronic device, use one of the language packs to set language used on the dashboard device based on content of the machine code and a relationship between the first and second numbers.

A displaying method and a displaying system for a vehicle, include obtaining a current date; determining whether to set an image of a holiday or anniversary to be displayed on a display of the vehicle by providing a display setting option to select or not to select a display setting option of a user; providing a display setting option and receiving a user's selection of the display setting option; when the display setting option is selected, comparing the obtained current date with preset holiday data and/or the preset anniversary data to determine whether the current date is a holiday corresponding to the preset holiday data, or determine whether the current date is an anniversary corresponding to the preset anniversary data; and displaying a pre-stored image related to the holiday and/or anniversary of the current date on a display of the vehicle.

A vehicle system, including a vehicle processing apparatus, and a memory configured to store one or more vehicle operational profiles that includes data to reassign a vehicle component from executing a vehicle function to operating one or more vehicle immersion components. A communication interface is configured to receive at least portions of an executable application from a computer network, wherein the vehicle processing apparatus is configured to execute the application from the computer network, and execute the operational profile to generate one or more immersive effects in the vehicle via the one or more vehicle immersion components, when the vehicle component is being used.
