A vehicle infotainment system for performing a large file transfer (SATA), music (USB), phone projection (CarPlay/Android Auto/MirrorLink), a modem (USB) and a phone mirroring (MHL) function using a millimeter wave short-range communication method in a band of 30 GHz to 300 GHz for a link between the vehicle infotainment system and a smartphone.

Disclosed is a method for controlling a display of a vehicle and an electronic device therefor, the method including acquiring display configuration information related to multiple displays in a vehicle, identifying an access right to access a target display which is at least two of the multiple displays, based on the display configuration information, acquiring first source information, generating second source information to be displayed on the target display, from the first source information based on the access right, and controlling to transmit the second source information to the target display.

An electronic device and a method are described. The electronic device is adapted to be installed on a handlebar of a vehicle, the electronic device comprising: a processor; a communication module; a display comprising a halo-shaped display; a memory for storing therein executable instructions, the instructions upon being processed by the processor, causing the electronic device to: receive, via the communication module, navigational data from a mobile device, the navigational data being associated with a circular visual signal indication, the circular visual signal indication being indicative of at least one of (i) an upcoming directional instruction and (ii) a distance between a current location and an upcoming location associated with the upcoming directional instruction; and, cause to display, on the halo-shaped display, of the circular visual signal indication.

A method for assisting a driver of a vehicle includes: establishing a signal transfer connection between a mobile display device and a position determination device of the vehicle; determining, based on the signal transfer connection, the position of the mobile display device relative to the vehicle; and displaying, by the mobile display device, based upon the determined position, at least one item of vehicle information and/or at least one operating menu for remote control of at least one vehicle function.

A motorcycle includes an analog display unit, a liquid crystal display unit, a meter circuit board, a communication unit, a housing, and a meter harness. The analog display unit has a dial plate and a pointer. The liquid crystal display unit is a display for displaying vehicle information. The meter circuit board electronically controls contents displayed on the liquid crystal display unit. The communication unit performs the wireless communication with an external communication terminal. The meter circuit board and the communication unit are disposed within the housing. The meter harness supplies the power with at least the analog display unit, the liquid crystal display unit, the meter circuit board, and the communication unit, and they have a common power conduction path at the outside of the housing.

A camera system is installed on the front end of a vehicle, either on the left front, the right front, or both sides. The camera is linked via wired or wireless connection to an onboard computer and a navigation display that is located within the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The driver reviews a visual description on the display of any oncoming traffic in the form of motor vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, animals and the like on the navigation display via a single screen, split screen or alternating screens. The camera system can include a speed sensor that detects when the vehicle reaches a threshold speed to activate or de-activate the camera. Alternatively, the computer can activate the system when a tum signal is activated, and de-activate the system when the tum signal is no longer activated. This camera system can be retrofitted into older vehicles.

Embodiments are directed towards providing a dynamic application environment where separate components of an application can execute on separate processing hardware at any given point in time. A host device monitors current operating characteristics associated with a computing device, such a head unit of an automobile, and based on those characteristics selects which components of one or more applications to execute on the computing device and which components to execute on the host device, if any. The host device provides the selected components to the computing device for execution by the computing device and the host device executes any other components that are not executed by the computing device. The host device monitors the current operating characteristics associated with the computing device, and modifies the selection of which components are executing on which device based on changes in current operating characteristics.

In one embodiment, a system for a vehicle includes a radio frequency (RF) transceiver having an identification (ID), and a processor coupled with the RF transceiver. The processor is configured to receive a request, via a first wireless connection, for the vehicle to travel to a location, in response to the vehicle being less than a predetermined distance from the location, receive RF packets, via a second wireless connection, from a target at the location, identify packets based on the ID of the RF transceiver, extract received signal strength indicator (RSSI) data from received signals associated with the identified packets, filter the RSSI data to obtain a maximum RSSI signal within a window of time, and in response to the maximum RSSI signal exceeding a threshold, output a signal indictive of the target being less than a predetermined distance from the vehicle.

A mobile terminal includes a mobile communication unit for communicating with an in-vehicle signal-sending device, an input operation unit for inputting data, a computational processing unit for performing computational processing, a display unit for displaying a screen, a storage unit for storing screen display information, and a mobile control unit for controlling the display unit. The computational processing unit has a function for calculating a loadage deviation based on vehicle specifications and vehicle loadage information contained in a sensor signal from the mobile communication unit, the storage unit has a function for presetting the vehicle specifications, the loadage deviation, and the screen display information prepared to display the vehicle specifications and the loadage deviation on the display unit screen, and the mobile control unit has a function for causing the display unit to display at least the vehicle specifications and the loadage information based on the screen display information.
