A rear display displays a driver image of a driver to a rear occupant. An operational information acquisition unit acquires operational information for changing a size of the driver image displayed on the rear display. An image control unit changes the size of the driver image displayed on the rear display, on the basis of the operational information acquired by the operational information acquisition unit. A sound control unit controls, at a time of generating a synthetic sound by combining a spoken voice of the driver with a reproduced sound of an AV source, a sound-level ratio between the spoken voice of the driver and the reproduced sound of the AV source, on the basis of the size of the driver image displayed on the rear display. A rear speaker outputs the synthetic sound generated by the sound control unit toward the rear occupant.

A display control apparatus which controls a display of a plurality of captured images captured by one or a plurality of image capturing apparatuses installed inside of a movable body includes a determination unit configured to determine whether movement of the movable body is stopped, and a display control unit configured to control the display of the plurality of captured images on a display unit so that a first captured image having an angle of view for capturing a side of the movable body from the inside of the movable body and a second captured image different from the first captured image are selectively displayed among the plurality of captured images based on at least a result of the determination by the determination unit.

Techniques are described that facilitate remotely interfacing with a vehicle touchscreen. According to an embodiment, a method is provided comprising determining touch controls included in a GUI configured for displaying on a touchscreen of the vehicle, wherein the touch controls provide for controlling functions of the vehicle based on first interaction with the touch controls as displayed on the touchscreen. The method further comprises generating a representation of the GUI for display via an auxiliary display of the auxiliary device, the representation comprising one or more graphical controls corresponding to one or more touch controls of the touch controls, and enabling remote control of one or more functions of the functions of the vehicle by the auxiliary device based on second interaction with the one or more graphical controls as displayed via the auxiliary display.

A display system includes: a LiDAR measuring a position of a first surrounding vehicle; a position measuring device measuring a position of a second surrounding vehicle not measured in position by the LiDAR; a display device displaying dividing line icons corresponding to dividing lines around the ego vehicle and surrounding vehicle icons corresponding to the surrounding vehicles around the ego vehicle, and a controller controlling display of the dividing line icons and the surrounding vehicle icons at the display device. The controller is configured to specify a display position in a front-back direction corresponding to a position in the front-back direction of the second surrounding vehicle measured by the position measuring device and a display position in a left-right direction corresponding to a position in the left-right direction in a lane in which the second surrounding vehicle is running, as a display position of a surrounding vehicle icon.

An integrated memory system for a driving position is provided. The integrated memory system includes a steering column having an inner column, and an outer column that is movable in an axis direction relative to the inner column. A position detecting unit including a plurality of detection positions detects a relative position of the outer column with respect to the inner column in response to a movement of the outer column and a controller is connected to the position detecting unit.

The invention relates to a device for an infotainment system. The infotainment system has a computing unit, on which a first operating system is installed and can be executed. The device has a computing unit, on which a second operating system is installed and can be executed. Radio-supported communication with the Internet can be carried out using the second operating system. The device has at least one generic interface to the infotainment system, whereby applications designed for the second operating system can be provided using the infotainment system.

Embodiments are directed towards a system and method of generating content recommendation rules for a vehicle head unit. A content recommendation and telemetry information of a vehicle are received by at least one remote server. The at least one remote server determines at least one content recommendation rule based on the at least one content recommendation and the telemetry information. The at least one remote server provides the at least one content recommendation rule to the head unit. The head unit detects an event associated with the head unit and selects content to present to the user based on a comparison of the detected event to the at least one content recommendation rule. The head unit then presents the selected content to the user.

An apparatus and methods for rotating a console display device of a vehicle are disclosed. The apparatus includes a display device; a rotation mechanism connected to the display device and configured to rotate the display device between a portrait orientation and a landscape orientation; a touch bar having at least one button; and a memory storing instructions. The instructions include receiving a request from a user via the touch bar to rotate the display device from the portrait orientation to the landscape orientation; sending a message to the user via the display device providing a time for the user to cancel the request; executing, via the rotation mechanism, a rotation of the display device from the portrait orientation to the landscape orientation after the provided time to cancel the request elapses; and sending a signal to disable vehicle movement.

Embodiments are disclosed for a system for coupling with at least one vehicle cable for communication with components of an infotainment system. In one example, the system includes a housing and a domain controller with hardware components enclosed within the housing. The system may further include a first connector interface arranged at a first side of the housing, the first connector interface including all connections for the domain controller.

A vehicular display control device including: memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: detect when a right-side operation region provided on a right side of a steering wheel has been operated; detect when a left-side operation region provided on a left side of the steering wheel has been operated; in a case in which operation of the right-side operation region has been detected, display a right-side image corresponding to the right-side operation region in a right-side area of a display region set in front of a driving seat; and in a case in which operation of the left-side operation region has been detected, display a left-side image corresponding to the left-side operation region in a left-side area of the display region.
