The disclosure includes a method comprising collecting sensor data from an olfactory sensor set of a vehicle, wherein the sensor data describes sensor measurements of an odor of a corresponding vehicle component, wherein the sensor data is received by a server. The method further includes receiving failure data from the server that describe a match between the sensor data and a fingerprint compound that corresponds to a failed vehicle component. The method further includes identifying the corresponding vehicle component that is described by the failure data. The method further includes identifying the corresponding vehicle component that is described by the failure data. The method further includes generating a notification based on the failure data and the corresponding component. The method further includes providing the notification to a driver of the vehicle.

The display system has a non-planar three-dimensional display surface defined by an electronic display screen or a plurality of contiguous electronic display screens, the display surface having at least one curved display area having the form of a developable surface.

The display system has a three-dimensional and curved display surface made up of a single electronic display screen or several joined electronic display screens, the display surface having at least one main zone dedicated to a pilot and suitable for being located in front of said pilot, the main zone being substantially planar or concave, and at least one lateral zone associated with each main zone, each lateral zone being concave and laterally extending the associated main zone.

A system for displaying data inside of a vehicle includes a main body including a substrate forming a display surface and defining a vehicle interior. The system also includes a plurality of lenticular lenses located on the display surface. The system also includes an eye tracker designed to detect a location of eyes of a person relative to the display surface. The system also includes a light source designed to generate light to produce an image via the plurality of lenticular lenses. The system also includes an electronic control unit (ECU) coupled to the eye tracker and the light source and designed to determine the location of the eyes relative to the display surface and to control the light source to center the image based on the location of the eyes relative to the display surface.

A display device for a vehicle including: a first display configured to output first light forming first visual information; a second display configured to output second light forming second visual information; a light synthesizing unit located on an advancing path of each of the first light and the second light and forming a first acute angle with the first display and a second acute angle with the second display and configured to transmit therethrough the first light from the first display and reflect the second light from the second display; a first tiltable reflector; a second tiltable reflector; and a driving unit configured to: tilt the first tiltable reflector to form a first angle with the second display so the first tiltable reflector reflects part of the second light directed toward the light synthesizing unit toward a first direction, and tilt the second tiltable reflector to form a second angle with the first display so the second tiltable reflector reflects part of the first light directed toward the light synthesizing unit toward a second direction different from the first direction.

A vehicle display device, a vehicle display control apparatus for controlling the same, and a vehicle display system including the vehicle display device and the vehicle display control apparatus are provided. The vehicle display system includes a single vehicle display device and a vehicle display control apparatus that controls application of voltage for driving the single vehicle display device and controls the single vehicle display device to switch to and operate in one of a first mode for displaying a single view, a second mode for displaying a multi-view, a third mode for displaying a three-dimensional view, and a fourth mode for displaying a two-dimensional view.

A method and a system for user interaction with a hologram includes displaying the hologram inside a passenger compartment of the vehicle, after displaying the hologram inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle, monitoring a vehicle user inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle user provided a user command, determining that the vehicle user provided the user command, and in response to determining that the vehicle user provided the user command, manipulating the hologram in accordance with the user command.

A head-up display system includes: a housing embedded in an upper portion of a dashboard of a vehicle; a controller that receives driving information from the vehicle and stores the driving information; a video output unit that is installed inside the housing and receives the driving information from the controller to output and project a plurality of separated videos; and an optical unit that is installed inside the housing and configured to change an optical path of each of the images projected from the video output unit, so that respective images are projected and displayed at different projection distances on a windshield of the vehicle.

A touch pad includes a flat portion and a convex type three-dimensional portion having a hemispherical shape. An outer circumferential surface of the three-dimensional portion constitutes a spherical operation area. A second recognition unit of the touch-pad controller recognizes a gesture operation of at least two fingers to be the same gesture operation as a pinch-in operation in a planar operation area, in a case where movement trajectories of the at least two fingers in the spherical operation area are arc-shaped movement trajectories which are bulged outwardly in a case where the spherical operation area is viewed in a plan view.

The invention relates to a method for a user to control a device. According to the invention, the method comprises the following steps:identification of a device located in a viewing direction of the user (100) by means of analysis of at least one image obtained by an image sensor (111) and containing at least part of the user's (100) face; determination of an oral instruction; transmission of a command associated with the determined oral instruction to the device identified. The invention also relates to a control device (110) in which such a method can be carried out, as well as a system (110, 121, 122) and a motor vehicle (130) comprising such a device (110).
