An electronic apparatus disposed in a vehicle is provided. The electronic apparatus includes an input device including a body configured to be rotatable and pushable and a display disposed on the body; and a processor configured to acquire profile data of a user including preset information for function of the vehicle, control the display to display basic user interface (UI) corresponding to the function of the vehicle based on the acquired profile data of the user, and control a function of the vehicle corresponding to the basic UI in response to receiving an input on the input device.

An operator control device for a vehicle may have a rotatable base body, an electronic unit, and a rotary unit. The rotatable base body may have a first operator control section for setting at least one first vehicle function which is assigned to the first operator control section, and a second operator control section for setting at least one second vehicle function which is assigned to the second operator control section. The electronic unit may be designed to make available a first contact signal which represents manual contact with or approaching of the first operator control section, and a second contact signal which represents manual contact with or approaching of the second operator control section. The rotary unit may permit a rotational movement of the base body.

Aspects of the subject technology relate to a technique automatically adapting a vehicle HMI to a user preference. The HMI includes a touchscreen displaying selectable icons associated with functions. Every time the HMI detects a selection of a first icon by a user among the icons, the HMI sends to the server, first information on a first function associated with the first icon, when the first icon is selected, and where the HMI is located when the first icon is selected. The server analyzes the first information to recognize a pattern of behavior taken by the user in selecting the first icon, generating a first user preference. The HMI updates an arrangement of the icons on the touchscreen based on the first user preference. The first user preference includes parameters that includes a certain day of a week, a certain time of that day, and a location.

A vehicle is electrically connected to one or more accessories. The vehicle includes at least one controller that may be configured to identify the accessory based on accessory identification information. The controller may also be configured to provide one or more commands to control an operation of the accessory.

Data characterizing a relative arrangement of vehicle occupants with respect to one another are continuously transmitted to display devices worn on the heads of the vehicle occupants. Virtual environments are displayed as a function of these data.

A method is provided and applied to a terminal device. The terminal device is connected to an in-vehicle device and a first application and at least one second application run on the terminal device. The method includes: sending, by the first application, a first broadcast to the at least one second application, so that the at least one second application sends a second broadcast based on the first broadcast; receiving a second broadcast sent by the at least one second application, where the second broadcast includes first data information of the second application; generating, based on the first data information, a card corresponding to the second application, and displaying the card on the in-vehicle device; and when a user taps the card corresponding to the second application, displaying, on the in-vehicle device based on the first data information of the second application, content of the second application.

An on-board vehicle navigation system (NAV system) may provide a variety of information and may be integrated with a variety of on-board vehicle systems or features. The NAV system may have the display set to show information about a single system in a full screen mode or have the display divided to show information about multiple systems simultaneously (mixed display mode). The NAV system may allow the user to select an automatic switching from a mixed display mode to a full display mode upon the occurrence of predetermined system conditions. The full display mode may be temporary and automatically return back to the previous display mode or may require a user acknowledgement prior to returning back to the previous display mode. The switch to the full display mode allows more information to be communicated to the user.

A vehicular display apparatus includes a display section, a pointing device, and a display control section. The display control section is configured to display an operation screen on the display section. The display control section is configured to generate an image that includes one of an object and an object group across a specified area on the operation screen, and execute processing of setting a part of the one of the object and the object group in a different display mode from the other part of the one of the object and the object group when the operation finger is recognized by a recognition section.

In one embodiment, a system for a vehicle control display device is provided. The system includes a vehicle steering wheel having spokes connected to a steering shaft, the wheel positioned in front of a dashboard having controls mounted therein. The system further includes a flexible display attached to the wheel or a spoke. The system further includes a sensor installed in the wheel to detect a driver's hand position on the wheel. The system further includes an overhead camera and micro cameras installed in the wheel to determine the driver's eye position. The system further includes a processor attached to the flexible display, the sensor, and the cameras to determine which controls are obscured by the wheel and the spokes and for displaying pre-specified ones of the obscured controls on the flexible display.

A user interface apparatus for a vehicle including a touch screen; a gesture input unit configured to detect a gesture of a user; and a processor configured to in response to the gesture detected by the gesture input unit being applied from a driver seat of the vehicle, display a preset first screen on the touch screen corresponding to driver operations of the vehicle, and in response to the gesture detected by the gesture input unit being applied from a front passenger seat of the vehicle, display a preset third screen on the touch screen corresponding to passenger operations of the vehicle excluding vehicle driving operations.
