A system includes a first multilayer surface that includes a plurality of layers. The system further includes a plurality of sensors and circuitry. The circuitry receives a plurality of signals from the plurality of sensors and projection data associated with a media content projectable by a projection device. The projection data includes contrast control information associated with the media content. The circuitry determines ambient condition of an enclosed space based on the received plurality of signals. The circuitry selects one or more portions of the plurality of layers of the first multilayer surface based on the determined ambient condition or the projection data. The circuitry controls an opacity level of the selected one or more portions of the first multilayer surface to provide dynamic shade control in the enclosed space or improve contrast of the projected media content based on the determined ambient condition or the projection data.

A device for controlling a vehicle and a method for outputting platooning information are provided. The device includes a display, a communication device, and a processor connected to the display and the communication device, and the processor is configured to receive information on an image of a region ahead and platooning state information from a leading vehicle through the communication device during platooning, synchronize the information on the image of the region ahead with a vehicle location when a platooning state is a stable state based on the platooning state information, and output the synchronized information on the image of the region ahead on the display.

In an information display apparatus displaying information onto a vehicle, an information display apparatus capable of acquiring a lot of pieces of image information while reducing point-of-view motion of a viewer is provided. An information display apparatus displaying information onto a vehicle includes a first information display apparatus displaying image information of a virtual image by allowing a windshield glass of a vehicle to reflect light, a second information display apparatus acquiring a practical image by scanning the windshield glass with laser light using a MEMS element and a third information display apparatus using an instrument panel of the vehicle.

An information output method includes determining, when a first condition is satisfied, whether a second or a third condition related to a pop-up in a first form from a time point of ignition off is satisfied, and setting at least one first pop-up request corresponding to the pop-up in the first form to a second pop-up request corresponding to a pop-up in a second form output during ignition on when the second condition or the third condition is satisfied, wherein whether the second condition is satisfied is determined in consideration of a number of first pop-up requests expected at the time point of ignition off, and whether the third condition is satisfied is determined in consideration of the number of first pop-up requests which are not displayed as pop-ups in the first form after ignition off from previously generated first pop-up requests.

A method for operating a driver information system in an ego vehicle is provided, wherein an operating state of a lighting apparatus of the ego vehicle is detected, and a driver information display is generated and output. The driver information display comprises a graphic ego object which represents the ego vehicle. In this context, the ego object comprises a rear depiction of the ego vehicle, wherein the ego object is generated depending on the detected operating state.

A method for operating a driver information system in an ego vehicle is provided, wherein environment data are detected in an environment of the ego vehicle. A driver information display is generated and output, wherein the driver information display comprises a graphic depiction of the environment of the ego vehicle. An operating state of a driver assistance system of the ego vehicle is detected, and an automation level is determined with reference to the detected operating state of the driver assistance system. The depiction of the environment is generated depending on the determined automation level.

An input unit receives a signal relating to an object. A generation unit generates first information and second information relating to the object based on the signal received by the input unit. A control unit displays the first information that has been generated on a first display device and displays the second information that has been generated on a second display device. The control unit changes the display mode of the first information with the passage of time according to the first regularity and the display mode of the second information with the passage of time according to the second regularity corresponding to the first regularity.

The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a deviation assessment system of a vehicle for supporting transitioning of speed control from an ADAS or AD system of the vehicle, to a vehicle driver. The deviation assessment system derives a current system-initiated value of a speed-affecting system parameter pertinent speed control by the ADAS or AD system. The deviation assessment system further derives a value of a corresponding speed-affecting intervention parameter pertinent a driver-initiated speed-affecting intervention of the speed control. Moreover, the deviation assessment system presents on a vehicle display a graphical representation indicative of a discrepancy between the system-initiated value and the driver-initiated value. The disclosure also relates to a deviation assessment system in accordance with the foregoing, a vehicle comprising such a deviation assessment system, and a respective corresponding computer program product and non-volatile computer readable storage medium.

A display device control apparatus is provided to control a display device provided on an instrument panel of a vehicle. The display device control apparatus acquires a state of the vehicle, and sets an inclination of a display screen unit included in the display device according to the state of the vehicle.

When information regarding a situation inside and outside a vehicle is determined to match a display change condition, a control unit (32) changes a display mode of information displayed outside the vehicle by controlling a projector device (4a) or a body light device (4b).
