VEHICLE DISPLAY SYSTEM, MOBILE TERMINAL APPARATUS, AND VEHICLE DISPLAY PROGRAM
According to a vehicle display system, a mobile terminal apparatus includes: a primary-screen-view display section that displays an output screen-view generated with execution of an application on the mobile terminal apparatus as a primary screen-view; a conversion section that converts the primary screen-view into a secondary screen-view complying with a vehicle apparatus; a manipulation layer generation section that generates a manipulation layer to manipulate the application; a state layer generation section that generates a state layer indicating a state of the mobile terminal apparatus; and a transmission section that transmits the secondary screen-view, the manipulation layer, and the state layer to the vehicle apparatus. The vehicle apparatus includes a secondary-screen-view display section that displays the manipulation layer and the state layer on the vehicle apparatus itself together with the secondary screen-view.
Lane change assist apparatus for vehicle
A driving support Electronic Control Unit (ECU) initializes a target trajectory calculation parameter at a start of Lane Change Assist Control (LCA), calculates, based on the target trajectory calculation parameter, a target trajectory function representing a target lateral position in accordance with an elapsed time from the start of LCA; and calculates a target control amount according to the target trajectory function. When it is determined that the own vehicle has crossed a boundary white line, the driving support ECU again initializes the target trajectory calculation parameter, and calculate the target trajectory function based on the target trajectory calculation parameter.
DUPLICATED WIRELESS TRANSCEIVERS ASSOCIATED WITH A VEHICLE TO RECEIVE AND SEND SENSITIVE INFORMATION
A vehicle is provided that comprises two or more radio frequency (RF) antennas and two or more RF transceivers to communicate wirelessly sensitive information associated with a user of the vehicle (the two or more RF antennas being at different physical locations on an exterior of the vehicle). The vehicle determines which one of the two or more RF antennas is receiving a strongest signal from a common signal source, selects a first RF transceiver associated with the RF antenna with the strongest signal to send the sensitive information associated with the user to the common signal source, and sends the sensitive information associated with the user to the first RF transceiver for transmission to the common signal source.
USER INTERFACE DEVICE, VEHICLE INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE
A user interface device includes: an output device having an output region predefined around an output unit; an acquisition unit acquiring information about a user's gesture performed around the output region; and a controller determining an area of a shielded region which is shielded by the user's gesture in the output region based on the acquired information and controlling output of the output device.
Sun visor head up display
A sun visor assembly for a vehicle according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a visor configured to be mounted in a vehicle and pivotable between a first position and a second position. A display is mounted on the visor. The display is pivotable between a stowed position and a viewing position relative to the visor.
BOAT SHARING SYSTEM
A boat sharing system includes a non-transitory computer readable memory for receiving and storing data for routes previously traveled. The route data includes starting and ending points and points of interest along the routes. The memory receives and stores data related to boat types, equipment for boating activities and boat drivers. A processing system accesses the memory and is configured to: display the stored data; receive and store route data and trip timing, boat type, equipment, boat driver requirements and activity desires for a present user; compare the present user's desired route, timing, activity, equipment and boat driver requirements with previously stored data. The system provides at least one previously stored set of route, boat, activity, equipment and operator data as an option for the present user; provides proposed timing, starting and ending points for the suggested route; and permits the present user to confirm selection of the suggested route.
LANE CHANGE ASSIST APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE
A driving support ECU initializes a target trajectory calculation parameter at a start of LCA; calculates, based on the target trajectory calculation parameter, a target trajectory function representing a target lateral position which is a target position of an own vehicle in a lane width direction in accordance with an elapsed time from the start of LCA; calculates a target control amount based on the target trajectory function; when a steering operation by a driver has been detected, again initializes the target trajectory calculation parameter; and recalculates the target trajectory function based on the target trajectory calculation parameter.
HINGE AND TANK OR LOADING FLAP SYSTEM
A hinge for opening and closing a tank or charging flap has two lever arms which are connected to one another in an articulated manner. A first lever arm is designed for connection to a tank or charging flap and a second lever arm is designed for connection to a component fastened to a vehicle. A drive is provided in order to pivot the two lever arms relative to one another about a pivot axis. The drive is an actuator that is received on or in one of the lever arms.
Mirror Replacement System For A Vehicle
A mirror replacement system for a vehicle. At least one image capturing unit adapted to be mounted around the exterior of the vehicle and capture images of at a field of view, an image display unit adapted to be visibly mounted for a driver, at least one driver sensor adapted for detecting information input from the driver, an operation controller adapted for controlling reformatting parameters based on driver parameters received from the at least one driver sensor, and an image capturing unit controller adapted for reformatting video data received from the at least one image capturing unit according to the reformatting parameters and for forwarding the reformatted video data to the at least one image display unit for displaying.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MONITORING DRIVER'S CONCENTRATIVENESS USING EYE TRACING
Provided are an apparatus and method for monitoring driver's concentrativeness capable of monitoring whether a driver is concentratedly obtaining major information by tracing a driver's sight while a vehicle is running, in order to provide alarm to the driver when driver's concentrativeness is dropped at a time when the major information is changed while the vehicle is running.
