A control unit for an automatic transmission of a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes a gear selection operating element which allows a user of the vehicle to set different drive positions of the transmission, but not individual gears, by actuating the gear selection operating element. The control unit is configured to determine that a drive position L has been set using the gear selection operating element, and in response thereto, the control unit is also configured to provide a graphical user interface on a screen of the vehicle. The user interface allows a manual gear shift of the transmission.

A display system that is configured for integration into a vehicle comprises a light source and an optical subsystem optically coupled to the light source. The optical subsystem includes a reflector and at least one semi-reflective optic, wherein the optical subsystem is configured to direct light rays to provide a plurality of virtual images that appear to a viewer concurrently at a respective plurality of different optical depths, by causing light of each of the virtual images to travel a different distance within the optical subsystem before exiting the optical subsystem on a path toward eyes of the viewer.

A work vehicle, including: a plurality of control valves configured to selectively convey hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic machine, a plurality of controllers connected to said control valves, a terminal including a display screen displaying graphics associated with said valves, a setting button configured to selectively modify a connection between the control valves and the controllers, and modify graphics based on changes of the connection.

A display device included in a vehicle includes: a communication unit, a display; and a control unit. The communication unit can receive vehicle travel information. The processor can calculate a speed range based on the received vehicle driving information and control the display to display a graphic object representative of the calculated speed range on the display.

The operating unit (10) for a vehicle component is provided with a housing (14) having a frame (16) and a display (62) having a transparent cover pane (18) with an edge (22). A plurality of actuators (24) for introducing flexural waves into the cover pane (18) is arranged along the edge (22) of the cover pane (18). A contact surface (34) is assigned to each actuator (24) on the cover pane (18), by means of which contact surface the actuator (24) acts on the cover pane (18) in order to introduce flexural waves into the cover pane (18). The flexural waves introduced into the cover pane (18) by the actuators (24) are superposed in the cover pane (18) and give the cover pane (18) a tactilely sensible, locally resolved surface structure. The contact surfaces (34) are each arranged at a distance from the frame (16) of the housing (14), and consequently the introduction of flexural waves into the cover pane (18) and/or the propagation of flexural waves in the cover pane (18) is damped for wavelengths or frequencies resulting from the magnitude of the distance. The distance is selected in such a way that flexural waves having frequencies in the audible frequency range are damped.

The operating unit for a vehicle, in particular for a vehicle component, is provided with a housing (10) which has an operating element (12), such as a display for example, and is designed to be secured in a device, in particular in a vehicle dashboard. The operating element (12) is elastically mounted on the housing (10). An actuator (16) is additionally provided for mechanically exciting the operating element (12) when an operation of the operating element (12) has been detected. Finally, the operating unit also has a vibration compensating mass (20) which can be mechanically excited by the actuator or by one actuator (16) when an operation of the operating element (12) has been detected and/or which is mounted on the housing (10) and can be moved in order to substantially compensate for forces acting on the housing (10) when the operating element (12) is moved.

Embodiments of a vehicle interior system are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the system includes a base with a curved surface, and a display or touch panel disposed on the curved surface. The display includes a cold-bent glass substrate with a thickness of 1.5 mm or less and a first radius of curvature of 20 mm or greater, and a display module and/or touch panel attached to the glass substrate having a second radius of curvature that is within 10% of the first radius of curvature. Methods for forming such systems are also disclosed.

A haptic feedback method for a touch display screen of a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes: acquiring a touch operation of a user from the touch display screen of the vehicle; determining a type of the acquired touch operation, and retrieving a pre-stored feedback signal corresponding to the type of the touch operation, wherein different types of the touch operations correspond to different feedback signals; and transmitting the corresponding feedback signal to an actuator, and driving the actuator to vibrate by using the feedback signal for providing haptic feedback. A haptic feedback system and a haptic feedback control device are also provided.

A pressing operation detection device includes a pressing operation determination unit determining whether a pressing operation has been performed based on a touch on an operation unit and a pressing amount, an increase-and-decrease frequency detection unit detecting occurrence frequency of increase and decrease of a pressing amount every predetermined period of time, and a determination controller changing content of the determination process of the pressing operation determination unit based on the occurrence frequency detected while a touch on the operation unit is not detected. When a pressing amount is detected although the operation unit is not touched, assuming that increase and decrease of the pressing amount is caused by vibration, content of the determination process is changed such that influence of the vibration is reduced so that detection of a pressing operation which brings a feeling of strangeness to the user which is caused by the vibration may be avoided.

Techniques are described that facilitate remotely interfacing with a vehicle touchscreen. According to an embodiment, a method is provided comprising determining touch controls included in a GUI configured for displaying on a touchscreen of the vehicle, wherein the touch controls provide for controlling functions of the vehicle based on first interaction with the touch controls as displayed on the touchscreen. The method further comprises generating a representation of the GUI for display via an auxiliary display of the auxiliary device, the representation comprising one or more graphical controls corresponding to one or more touch controls of the touch controls, and enabling remote control of one or more functions of the functions of the vehicle by the auxiliary device based on second interaction with the one or more graphical controls as displayed via the auxiliary display.
