A display system is provided in a vehicle and includes: an HUD positioned inside the vehicle and configured so as to display, on the vehicle window, a surrounding environment video indicating the environment surrounding the vehicle; and a display control unit controlling the HUD such that the surrounding environment video is displayed on the window in accordance with prescribed conditions associated to the vehicle or the environment surrounding the vehicle and configured so as to reduce the transmittance of the window.

A display control system using a knob includes an input part which receives at least one piece of position information of a knob within a movement range in an area under a display and position information of the knob within a preset plane area, a memory in which a display control program using the position information of the knob is stored, and a processor which executes the program, and the processor controls a function in a vehicle in consideration of the position information according to movement of the knob and operation information of the knob.

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.

The present invention provides an image output device which is mounted on a vehicle and a control method therefor. The image output device comprises a display and a processor which controls the display to output a timeline that displays events occurring while a vehicle is being driven, wherein the display is divided into a first area and a second area on the basis of the timeline, and the processor classifies the events into a first group and a second group according to a predetermined reference and controls the display to display a first graphic object navigating an event included in the first group on the first area, and display a second graphic object navigating an event included in the second group on the second area.

Systems and methods are provided for an intelligent HUD. An intelligent HUD may include intelligently enabled display information. Intelligently enabled display information may include vehicle statistics, environmental statistics, warnings, instructions, and other relevant information. Intelligently enabled display information may be displayed on the HUD at a relevant time based on a triggering event. A triggering event may be operation of a vehicle contrary to law, an unsafe driving condition, or a change in information relevant to a driver. Intelligently enabled display information may be turned off after a set period of time, after a driver adjusts vehicle operation in response to a warning or instruction, and/or after a triggering event concludes.

A service level indicator system for a vehicle includes one or more sensor that provides one or more of a battery charge level, fuel fill level, oil fill level, and tire pressure level to a control system that instructs the actuation of at least one of a sun visor, shade, and tonneau cover is positioned to generate a message that is readily understood by the vehicle's operator but is ambiguous to other viewers. These components require no power after actuation and do not draw attention to any message they transmit. The position can identify the level that is deficient, and the degree of the deficiency using one or a plurality of the vehicle's components. The entire message is viewable from at least the driver's side of the vehicle and can be at least partially received from any angle of approach to the vehicle.

The present invention relates to a method, a computer program with instructions, and a device for generating a display of an augmented reality head-up display for a motor vehicle. In a first step, a position of the motor vehicle is determined. A plurality of virtual elements for a navigation hint is then provided on the basis of the position of the motor vehicle. The virtual elements, as seen from the motor vehicle, extend on both sides in a lateral direction to outside a field of view of the augmented reality head-up display. Finally, at least that virtual element which has the shortest distance to a center of the field of view is rendered.

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.

The present invention is directed to a visualisation aid for indicating to a driver of a vehicle a projected location of a front wheel (90A, 90B) of the vehicle on a ground surface, the visualisation aid including an indicator (10A, 10B), wherein: the indicator is positionable in the line of sight (5A, 5B) of the driver looking out of the vehicle at the ground surface, the indicator is positionable at or above a boundary (140) of the vehicle in the light of sight, and the line of sight (5A, 5B) beyond the boundary of the vehicle intersects with an imaginary vertical plane (7A, 7B) extending forward from the front wheel of the vehicle (90A, 90B).

Disclosed is a control method. The control method of the present invention is a control method for controlling a vehicle using an agent module which outputs a dialogue-type response to an input speaking of an occupant, the method including: activating the agent module through a predetermined input; generating a first dialogue with the occupant through an activated voice input unit; maintaining the first dialogue in a temporary stored state for a preset period of time; and loading the first dialogue in the temporary stored state when a call command for the first dialogue is recognized, and generating a second dialogue when the call command for the first dialogue is recognized after elapse of the preset period of time.
