A apparatus for controlling displaying of a cluster for a vehicle and a method for the same includes a communication apparatus to support communication with the vehicle cluster, and at least one processor operatively connected to the communication apparatus. The at least one processor is configured to generate screen data associated with a first event occurring during a first driving cycle of the vehicle, transmits the screen data to the cluster through the communication apparatus, displays, on a first area of a display provided in the cluster, an object corresponding to the first event, based on the screen data. The object corresponding to the first event is displayed at any one of a plurality of positions specified in the first area, in sequence in which the first event occurs.

A display control device provided at a vehicle and including a processor, a first display section, a second display section adjacent to the first display section, and a third display section adjacent to the second display section in a different direction from the first display section. The processor being configured to: control the first display section, the second display section, and the third display section; acquire notification information to be notified to a driver of the vehicle; and execute an animation such that the notification information currently being displayed on one of the first display section or the third display section is displayed on the second display section and then displayed on another of the first display section or the third display section.

An infotainment system for a motor vehicle includes a display screen positioned to be visible by a passenger of the motor vehicle. A storage arrangement stores a collection of video segments to be presented on the display screen. The storage arrangement also stores metadata in association with the video segments. A user interface receives inputs from the passenger. A sensor detects a characteristic of the passenger. A processing arrangement is communicatively coupled to each of the display screen, the collection of video segments, the user interface and the sensor. The processing arrangement selects one of the video segments to present on the display screen. The selecting of the one video segment is dependent upon inputs received from the passenger via the user interface, signals received from the sensor indicative of the characteristic of the passenger, and metadata associated with individual segments.

An HMI device for presenting information recognizably by an occupant of a vehicle capable of autonomous driving is controlled. An acceleration and deceleration state, which is an execution status of acceleration and deceleration control in the vehicle during autonomous driving, is acquired. Acceleration and deceleration information relating to the acceleration and deceleration state is presented in a mode corresponding to the acceleration and deceleration state.

A display device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a use status of a battery that stores electric power for traveling of a vehicle; a display unit configured to display an image; and a display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display an image in which a state of the battery is represented by an anthropomorphic character based on an acquisition result of the acquisition unit.

An automobile with a construct and components with an appearance of an airplane. The back seats, and optionally the front seats, are bench style, with armrests that may be rotated out of position and located at opposing sides of the seat when the seat is a two-person bench. For a three-person bench, there are intermediate armrests. The airplane-type seats include headrests integrated into the seat rather than being extendible from the top of the seat. The bench seat is removably affixed to an underlying support substrate, which may be substantially hollow and arranged to enable access to storage within the support substrate. The interior of the automobile of the present invention includes controllable lighting and air located above the passenger's head, either directly or to the side above a window. An instrument and control panel that supplies the driver with information and control expected for an automobile is configured with the appearance and content of an instrument and control panel a pilot would expect to see in an airplane. Controls are positioned sufficiently close to the driver to be accessed and employed as needed. Wheels of the automobile of the present invention are designed to give the appearance of the stators or rotors of an airplane jet engine.

A display device includes a display configured to display a video, a concave mirror configured to reflect a video display light of the video displayed on the display toward a reflection part that is formed in a curved shape and that faces a viewer, and a housing in which the display and the concave mirror are assembled, wherein an angle of the concave mirror with respect to the housing is adjustable by rotating the concave mirror on a reference plane of the housing in accordance with a relative positional relationship among the housing, the reflection part, and the viewer.

Disclosed is a method for operating an operating system in a vehicle, wherein display data of a graphical user interface comprising at least one first display region are generated and output. The graphical user interface comprises a basic state and an info state. Context data about a current context of the vehicle are recorded and a first relevance value is determined for a first info application based on the recorded context data. The info state is activated depending on the determined first relevance value of the first info application, wherein, when the info state is activated, the first display region is reduced in size such that an info region is formed and a graphical info object is generated using the first info application and output in the info region.

A parking assistance device includes a camera configured to capture a rear-view image of a vehicle, a plurality of sensors configured to sense an obstacle located around the vehicle, a controller configured to generate a parking guide line to guide the vehicle into a target parking space and assist a driver of the vehicle to park based on a separation distance between a predicted entrance trajectory corresponding to a steering angle of the vehicle and the parking guide line, and a display configured to match and display the rear-view image of the vehicle with the parking guide line.
