A vehicle electronic control system includes a center device and a master device and a data relay device capable of performing data communication therebetween. The center device obtains campaign information of the program update, transmits the obtained campaign information to the data relay device, and transmits the update data to the data relay device. When receiving the campaign information from the center device, the data relay device changes setting of the received campaign information and delivers the information to the master device, and, when receiving the update data from the center device, the data relay device delivers the received update data to the master device. When receiving the campaign information from the data relay device, the master device instructs a target electronic control device to update the program with the update data received from the data relay device according to the received campaign information.

The memory can store a preliminary operations module, an authorization module, and a gaze-tracking module. The preliminary operations module can include instructions to compare a trajectory, of a point of gaze of an eye, with a pattern associated both with a calibration of the gaze-tracking system and with a first authorization process, that excludes an iris recognition process, for the first other system. The authorization module can include instructions to cause an access to the first other system to be authorized. The gaze-tracking module can include instructions to: (1) cause the gaze-tracking system to be calibrated and (2) cause, in response to the gaze-tracking system being calibrated, the gaze-tracking system to be configured to be a user interface for a second other system.

An image distortion correction circuit performs a distortion correction process on an image signal on the basis of distortion correction data to generate a distortion-corrected image signal. The distortion correction data is for correcting coordinate positions of display data fragments corresponding to respective N coordinate positions in the display image to first to N-th distortion correction coordinate positions. The image distortion correction circuit determines a distortion correction coordinate position where abnormality occurs as an abnormal coordinate position among the first to N-th distortion correction coordinate positions on the basis of respective intervals between the adjacent first to N-th distortion correction coordinate positions indicated by the distortion correction data. The image distortion correction circuit corrects a part corresponding to the abnormal coordinate position in the distortion correction data on the basis of at least the two distortion correction coordinate positions excluding the abnormal coordinate position among the first to N-th distortion correction coordinate positions.

Methods and systems are provided for adjusting parameters using a vehicle touch screen. In one embodiment, a method includes determining an initial touch position of an external touch operation when the external touch operation is detected. A movement trajectory and final disengagement position of the external touch operation may then be detected. The movement trajectory need not be limited to an area covered by a parameter adjustment control. The parameter adjustment control may then be adjusted to a final parameter value according to the initial touch position, the final disengagement position, and the movement trajectory.
