  • Patent number: 10606263
    Abstract: A handover notification arrangement is configured to provide a handover notification in a driver environment of a vehicle having autonomous driving capabilities. The handover notification arrangement includes a road information arrangement configured to acquire road information representative of an upcoming road section at which the autonomous driving is likely to become at least partially disabled. The handover notification arrangement further includes a processing unit configured to calculate an estimated time available for autonomous driving and configured to calculate an uncertainty estimate of the estimated time available for autonomous driving. The handover notification arrangement is configured to cause the output unit to provide the handover notification such that the handover notification is provided earlier in cases of high uncertainty estimates than in cases of low uncertainty estimates. The present disclosure also describes a vehicle and a method of providing a handover notification.

  • Publication number: 20090031237
    Abstract: An apparatus for displaying layers generated by multiple applications is provided. Layers generated by one or more applications are presented on a display at particular levels of transparency such that a user may be able to simultaneously view the layers. The user can select one of the layers with which to interact by varying the respective levels of transparency such that one of the layers is less transparent and the other of the layers is more transparent. In this way, the user may manipulate the levels of transparency of the layers to navigate through multiple applications and access a desired application. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20070240077
    Abstract: A method and system for providing a user interface of a mobile communication terminal. The method includes displaying, on an active display, a first view having an application zone and a control zone, the control zone having a plurality of control items, one control item of the plurality of control items being in focus, and the application zone being a display area for a first application, as a response to a first input, shifting focus along a first direction from a focused control item being in focus prior to the first input being effected, to a control item being displayed along the first direction from the focused control item, and as a response to a second input, running software code associated with a control item being in focus when the second input is effected. A corresponding mobile communication terminal and computer program product are also presented.
