Systems and methods are described for a graphical vehicle cluster display that conveys vehicle acceleration information. A controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of vehicle acceleration. A substantially circular icon is displayed on the screen when the signal indicates that the acceleration is approximately zero in a forward direction. A stretched elliptic icon is display on the screen when the acceleration of the vehicle in a forward direction is greater than zero. A compressed elliptic icon is displayed on the screen when the acceleration of the vehicle in the forward direction is less than zero.

A movable body according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a vehicle body and an information display apparatus mounted on the vehicle body. The information display apparatus provided at the movable body includes a light projecting part that projects a luminous flux and a reflector that reflects the luminous flux from the light projecting part. The reflector includes a plurality of unit regions two-dimensionally arranged over a main surface. Each of the unit regions includes a plurality of reflecting surfaces two-dimensionally arranged, and splits a luminous flux entering the plurality of reflecting surfaces to perform reflection in a plurality of directions.

The invention relates to a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, having reproduction means for displaying at least one current parameter of the vehicle, wherein the reproduction means are configured to represent the current parameter value on the reproduction means in the form of numbers or numerical words, wherein there are provided allocation means which are configured to allocate to the number or numerical word, on the basis of the value of the number or numerical word, the size of the number or numerical word and/or at least one parameter of the number or numerical word relating to the color and/or of the background thereof, and wherein the reproduction means are configured to represent the number or numerical word on the reproduction means with the allocated size and/or the color parameter.

A vehicle information display control device includes: an automatic driving information obtaining unit obtaining automatic driving information including information indicating that each actuator of a vehicle is in a manual control mode or an automatic control mode; and a display controller causing a display to display an image based on the automatic driving information. The display controller causes the display to display: an image of a manual driving device corresponding to the actuator; a manual-operation recalling image that is superimposed on the image of the manual driving device corresponding to an actuator in the manual control mode and that recalls an operation performed by a person; and an automatic-operation recalling image that is superimposed on the image of the manual driving device corresponding to an actuator in the automatic control mode and that recalls an operation performed by a machine.

An image rendering apparatus includes a light source unit, a detecting unit, an optical scanner, a light source driving unit, and an adjusting unit. The light source driving unit is configured to control the light source unit in such a way that a rendered image is generated by the scan of the optical scanner inside a scan area scanned by the optical scanner and that a characteristic laser beam is emitted at a position and in a pattern corresponding to a rendered content of the rendered image. The rendered image includes an indicator related to a speed of a vehicle. The light source driving unit is configured to control the light source unit to emit the characteristics detecting laser beam in such a way that a scale for the indicator related to the speed of the vehicle is rendered.

A method for pairing a key fob with a control unit is provided. The key fob executes an ID authenticated key agreement protocol with a pairing device based on a key fob identification to authenticate one another and to generate a first encryption key. The pairing device encrypts a control unit identification using the first encryption key. The key fob receives the encrypted control unit identification transmitted from the pairing device. The key fob then executes an ID authenticated key agreement protocol with the control unit based on the control unit identification to authenticate one another and to generate a second encryption key. The key fob then receives an operational key transmitted from the control unit that is encrypted with the second encryption key.

A display device for a vehicle, comprising an electro-optical display and a position detection device which is used to determine the position of eyes of a driver of the vehicle, wherein a multiplicity of different items of information are displayed by the electro-optical display device and are perceived by the driver of the vehicle is disclosed. Provision is made for there to be a viewing direction detector for determining the driver's viewing direction, which is used to determine which information of the multiplicity of different items of information are perceived by the driver, and, depending on the perceived information, for the perceived information to be able to be enlarged and/or for additional information relating to the perceived information to be able to be displayed. A method for displaying information on a display device in a vehicle is also disclosed.

A vehicle display device includes a display portion attached to a vehicle. The vehicle display device acquires a position of a viewpoint-related part provided by a viewpoint of a driver or a point that moves together with the viewpoint. The vehicle display device acquires image data for generating a display image to be displayed on the display portion. The vehicle display device generates the display image based on the image data and display the display image on the display portion.

A selector for a vehicle includes a stepper motor. A manually operable rotating portion is in communication with the stepper motor. A display screen is positioned proximate the rotating portion. A position sensor is in communication with the stepper motor and the manually operable rotating portion. The rotating portion is coupled to the stepper motor at a drive shaft of the stepper motor. Manual operation of the rotating portion also rotates the drive shaft. The stepper motor applies a haptic component to the manual operation of the rotating portion.

A display system and an in-vehicle system include a display device provided at a vehicle and configured to display a person image indicating a person at a position visible from the outside of the vehicle; and a controller configured to acquire surrounding status information indicating a surrounding status of the vehicle and control the display device based on the acquired surrounding status information, thereby the executing external display processing of displaying the person image. As a result, the display system and the in-vehicle system provide an advantageous effect that easily-understandable displaying can be performed.
