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.

A multifunctional switch device for operating a plurality of vehicle functions and services including an adjustment member which is a rotary-push-pull actuator; and an upper casing and a lower casing that together enclose a stationary inner body; an inner cover rotatable based on the rotation of the adjustment member; a pin; an electronic card; and an upper dome positioned on an upper surface of the electronic card. The multifunctional switch device further includes a lower dome positioned on a lower surface of the electronic card to generate an actuating signal for performing an assigned function. When the adjustment member and thus the pin are pulled in upwards direction, through the +y direction of the multifunctional switch device, the lower dome is also pulled up and come into contact with the lower surface of the electronic card under an action of an applied pulling force.

A display device for a vehicle includes: a first image control section that displays a first entire image in a certain entire display region; a second image control section that displays a second entire image that is changed from the first entire image in the certain entire display region; and an intermediate image control section that displays a single intermediate entire image indicating an intermediate stage of a change between the first entire image and the second entire image in the certain entire display region. The second image control section displays a final display state in which a certain mark is displayed in a certain portion within the certain display region as the second entire image. The intermediate image control section displays the intermediate entire image having an afterimage of the certain mark being extended in a track direction on a track of the certain mark moving to the certain portion.

This operating device includes a dial, a display unit, and an allocation unit. The dial receives a rotational operation. The allocation unit selectively allocates to the dial either an engine operational function to adjust the rotation speed of an engine or a screen operational function to perform an operation according to a screen shown on the display unit. It is preferable that the allocation unit allocates the engine operational function to the dial in response to turning on of a key switch for starting up the engine.

There is provided a user-vehicle interface, comprising a gesture control system that is arranged to: sense a direction of a gesture of a user of the vehicle; and process the sensed gesture to control a location of an indicator on a display in accordance with that sensed direction, such that a location of the indicator is arranged to move in accordance with changes in the sensed direction, the indicator being used to show a current position for user interaction with content on the display, and being in a plane in which that content resides.

A vehicle including a chassis which is supported on wheels such that it can be driven in a direction of travel for carrying a driver, a steering element for the driver to specify the direction of travel, a reproduction element which is arranged in the field of view of the driver in front of the driver when viewed in the direction of travel, and which is designed to display a menu containing a number of menu elements which are arranged to form a grid, and an input interface including a pressure plate which is arranged on the steering element including a top side and a bottom side which is situated opposite the top side, wherein a number of segments which are arranged to form the grid and can be detected in a haptic manner are formed on the top side of the pressure plate.

Technologies and techniques for human-machine interaction in a motor vehicle, wherein a first graphical element is superimposed into a visual field of a user via an AR system such that the element is arranged within a display region. A scrolling input signal is detected via an input interface and a sensor system to determine a highlighted direction. Using a computing unit, a scrolling path is determined on the basis of the highlighted direction. Using the AR system, the first graphical element is moved out of the display region along the scrolling path, depending on the scrolling input signal.

A control element is used for a display unit, a system includes a control element and a display unit, a method of using the control element and a method for operating a display unit in conjunction with the control element are described.

A transparent pixel matrix, a screening layer, and a control circuit are included in a display apparatus. The control circuit displays a graphic object on the pixel matrix. The screening layer includes individually switchable segments arranged behind the pixel matrix and the segments are switchable with respect to their transparency between a minimum value and a maximum value. The control circuit selects the graphic object based on an input by the user. The control circuit signals the graphic object is selected by operating a first segment among the segments arranged behind the selected graphic object as a selection segment, with the minimum value of transparency or with the maximum value of transparency, and by operating a second segment among the segments as a background segment in a complementary fashion with respect to the selection segment, with the maximum value of transparency or the minimum value of transparency.

An apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle may include at least two buttons provided on a steering wheel, a processor electrically connected to the at least two buttons, and storage that stores instructions executed by the processor, wherein the processor may map and set a vehicle function to the at least two buttons, detect a button manipulated among the at least two buttons, and perform a vehicle function mapped to the manipulated button based on the vehicle function mapped to the operated button and a current vehicle state.
