Vehicle Electronic Display Configured to Flex And/Or Fold for Enhanced Usability and Viewing
A display assembly for a vehicle includes an electronic display and an adjustment mechanism. The electronic display is configured to be mounted to an instrument panel of the vehicle. The electronic display includes multiple screens and at least one hinge disposed between the screens. The electronic display is configured to be folded at the at least one hinge by pivoting at least one of the screens about the at least one hinge to adjust a viewing angle of an occupant in the vehicle relative to the at least one screen. The adjustment mechanism is configured to maintain the at least one screen in any one of a plurality of positions when the electronic display is folded at the at least one hinge by pivoting the at least one screen about the at least one hinge to adjust the at least one screen to the one position.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USER INTERFACES IN A VEHICULAR ENVIRONMENT
Examples are disclosed for systems and methods for user interfaces of a vehicular environment, especially for autonomous vehicles wherein an orientation or attention of the vehicle occupants is not constrained to a direction of motion. In one embodiment, a system for providing visualizations within a vehicular environment comprises at least one touch-sensitive display device positioned adjacent to at least one seat within the vehicular environment and configured to display the visualizations to an occupant of the at least one seat, the at least one touch-sensitive display device moveable from a first position in front of the seat to a second position at an interior wall of the vehicular environment.
Method and device for image processing, vehicle head-up display system and vehicle
The present disclosure provides an image processing method applied to a vehicle head-up display device, including: determining position information of a target object within a range of activity; acquiring a distortion parameter corresponding to the position information by looking up a table; and performing distortion correction processing on an image to be displayed according to the distortion parameter, so as to obtain a distortion corrected image.
PHYSICAL STATE SHARABLE SEAT
In a physical state sharable seat, a sensor is configured to acquire a measurement value specific to a physical state of an occupant seated on the seat body; and a controller connected to the sensor and thereby allowed to acquire the measurement value from the sensor is configured to be capable of communicating with other equipment. The controller includes: an evaluation unit configured to compute an evaluation value on the physical state, based on the measurement value; an evaluation value presentation unit configured to present the evaluation value at a terminal to be used by the occupant; a shared data acquisition unit configured to acquire an other-occupant evaluation value that is an evaluation value on a physical state of another person, acquired either by the evaluation unit or from another physical state sharable seat; and a shared data presentation unit configured to present the other-occupant evaluation value at the terminal.
Display device
A display device according to the present invention comprises: a light source configured to emit light in a manner capable of changing an emission direction as needed within a predetermined irradiation region; a first screen located in said irradiation region; a first reflective unit disposed closer to said light source than said first screen; a second reflective unit disposed at a position where the light reflected by said first reflective unit reaches; and a second screen disposed at a position where the light reflected by said second reflective unit reaches.
Image processing device, image display system, and image processing method
An image processing device includes: an obtainer which obtains, from an imaging device provided in a vehicle so as to be oriented to capture an image of an area behind the vehicle, an image captured by the imaging device; a position detector which detects a face position of a driver; and an image processor which performs image processing to clip, according to the face position detected by the position detector, an image having a range corresponding to the face position, out of a combined image including the image, and superimpose a position image indicating a position in the vehicle, on the image at a position corresponding to the face position, and outputs an image resulting from the image processing.
Sliding center module system for vehicle
A vehicle in one embodiment includes a driver module which can include a driver seat and a driver control assembly both of which are movably coupled to a chassis of the vehicle to allow the driver module to move between a center position and at least one of a left position and a right position along a first row in the interior of the vehicle. In one embodiment, the driver control assembly includes a steering wheel, a brake pedal, and an accelerator pedal. In one embodiment, a driver can drive the vehicle in any one of these positions. In one embodiment, the vehicle further includes a first rear seat and a second rear seat coupled to the chassis in a second row in the interior of the vehicle. In one embodiment, passengers in the rear seats can extend their legs into the first row when the driver seat is in the center position. In one embodiment, the driver seat and the driver control assembly are movable laterally along a set of rails coupled to the chassis of the vehicle. Other embodiments are also described.
INSTRUMENT PANEL STRUCTURE
An instrument panel structure of the present disclosure includes: an instrument-panel body portion constituting a body portion of an instrument panel of a vehicle and placed in front of a wheel in the vehicle front-rear direction; and one or more spacers configured to be placeable selectively on a first side or a second side in the vehicle width direction relative to the instrument-panel body portion, the one or more spacers constituting part of the instrument panel.
CONTENT ADJUSTMENT BASED ON VEHICLE MOTION AND EYE GAZE
A display apparatus and a mobile phone for content adjustment based on motion of a vehicle and an eye gaze of an occupant is provided. The display apparatus includes a display screen, a motion sensor, and an image capturing device. The display screen displays content. The display apparatus controls the motion sensor to capture a motion signal associated with the display apparatus. The display apparatus controls the image capturing device to capture an image of the occupant in the vehicle. The display apparatus determines a region of the eye gaze of the occupant on the display screen based on the captured image. The determined region on the display screen includes a portion of the displayed content. The display apparatus adjusts a movement of the portion of the displayed content in response to the captured motion signal being higher than a predefined threshold.
DETERMINATION OF A TENDENCY OF A PASSENGER TO GET MOTION SICKNESS IN A VEHICLE
A method for detecting the tendency of a passenger of a vehicle to get motion sickness by using a rod and frame test is disclosed. An image designed to carry out a rod and frame test is displayed in the vehicle. The rod and the frame each enclose an angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees with a horizontal spatial axis and/or a vertical spatial axis. A request is issued to correct the rod into a vertical or horizontal position by means of an input device. An input carried out by the passenger to correct the rod is recorded. The rod and frame test is evaluated by an evaluation device based on the recorded input of the passenger, and at least one measure is issued to prevent and/or combat the occurrence of motion sickness, depending on the result of the evaluation.
