A vehicle system that transmits information about a health state of a driver to a vehicle electronic device communicating with a wearable device includes: a smart key receiving a searching signal from the vehicle electronic device; an acceleration sensor obtaining gesture information about a specific gesture that the driver makes while approaching the vehicle electronic device; a learning processor learning the specific gesture from the gesture information; a controller determining intention of the driver depending on whether the searching signal is received; and depending on whether the obtained gesture information is recognized as the specific gesture and to control on/off of a sensor measuring the information about the health state of the driver; and communication device transmitting the information about the health state of the driver to the vehicle electronic device.

An advice providing apparatus for a vehicle including: a first interface configured to communicate with one or more human-machine interface APPs of one or more human-machine interfaces (HMIs) of the vehicle; a second interface configured to receive data from in-vehicle devices including a database, a sensing unit and a communication unit; and a processing module configured to: calculate one or more predictions for a potential query from a user of the vehicle based on the received data; select a prediction from the calculated predictions that is associated with a nonrepresentational input received via at least one HMI of the one or more HMIs from the user; generate an operation advice based on the selected prediction; and output the generated operation advice to an HMI APP of the one or more HMI APPs.

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for using mobile devices for anomaly detection in a vehicle. The present invention may include a computer receives sensor data from at least one mobile device associated with the vehicle, where the mobile device having one or more sensors. The computer analyzes data from the one or more sensors to identify an anomaly associated with the vehicle. The computer identifies a message associated with the anomaly. The computer determines an urgency value of the message based on the anomaly. The computer transfers the message with the urgency value to the vehicle and causes the vehicle to notify the message using a vehicle notification device.

A vehicle remote operation system includes: a communication device that performs wireless communication with a mobile device; a position determination portion that determines whether the mobile device exists in an activation area; a remote operation acceptance portion that accepts a remote operation as a user instruction operation to move the vehicle; a control execution portion that performs control corresponding to a content of the remote operation; and a notification processor that notifies a user that a position of the mobile device changes from an inside of the activation area to an outside of the activation area.

In the present disclosure, a remote device is connected to a local device in a vehicle so as to be communicable with each other. Information of a remote app installed in the remote device is transmitted from the remote device to the local device. The information of the remote app received from the remote device is displayed together with information on a local app installed in the local device on a screen of a user interface (UI) via a display device of the local device. When a user executes the remote app, using the information of the remote app displayed in the display device of the local device, the remote app is executed on the remote device, and an execution screen of the remote app transmitted from the remote device to the local device is simultaneously displayed via the display device of the local device.

An in-vehicle display control device includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of element images to be displayed on a vehicular display from each image generation unit; a change information acquisition unit that acquires color change information; and an image synthesizing unit that generates a synthetic image based on a color in the color change information and the plurality of element images. The image synthesizing unit generates the synthetic image by synthesizing the plurality of element images and a color change layer.

A mobile terminal includes a camera, a display unit, and a controller for finding parkable areas matching an overall width of a vehicle by detecting a distance between a plurality of objects in an image obtained by the camera, providing parkable area information corresponding to the parkable areas on the image through the display unit, and selecting one of the parkable areas.

A system for managing multiple independent cockpit displays, comprising: first and second displays configured to receive input and display pages, the pages defined by parameters in a database; and a control system comprising a processor coupled to a memory storing the database, the processor configured to: receive a request to display a first page on the first display; retrieve a flag associated with the first page, the flag being a parameter in the database and indicating whether a page is safe or unsafe for simultaneous display and editing; retrieve group designators associated with the first page and a second page, the group designator being a parameter in the database, the group designator identifying related pages; and control display and editing of pages on the first display based on at least one of: the flag associated with the first page, and the group designators associated with the first and second pages.

An information processing device includes a first communication unit configured to communicate with a first terminal device, a second communication unit configured to communicate with a second terminal device, and a controller configured to generate an abnormality detection signal when an abnormality is detected based on vehicle information on a vehicle, and determine a position of a user based on a communication state of the first terminal device and the second terminal device possessed by the user. The controller is configured to cause the first communication unit to transmit the abnormality detection signal to the first terminal device when the controller determines that the position of the user is included in a first region, and cause the second communication unit to transmit the abnormality detection signal to the second terminal device when the controller determines that the position of the user is included in a second region.

Methods and apparatus for vehicle HVAC control are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes a portable device interface of a vehicle, the portable device interface to be communicatively coupled with a portable device, a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) control system of the vehicle, where the HVAC control system is to be communicatively coupled to the portable device interface. The example apparatus also includes a processor to control the HVAC control system based on signals received at the portable device interface from the portable device.
