Abstract: A sphere-type shift control apparatus for an electronic transmission system includes a shift operation unit configured to be operated by a driver of a vehicle for gear shifting on a first hemisphere of a spherical mechanism and a design unit for indirect illumination and image transmission on a second hemisphere of the spherical mechanism. By rotating the spherical mechanism, only the shift operation unit is exposed to a vehicle interior through an opening of a housing when a shift operation is required, while only the design unit is exposed to the vehicle interior through the opening of the housing when the shift operation is not required.

Abstract: A fingerprint recognition vehicle control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a display unit including a hemispherical display, optical fibers provided in the display and connected to the display through one end of the optical fibers, and a light source connected to the other ends of the optical fibers; a fingerprint recognition unit including a fingerprint recognition sensor and a fingerprint pattern light source provided in the display unit; a gearshift including a physical wheel for operating gear stages and indicators indicating gear states; and a controller operating on the basis of information received from the display unit, the fingerprint recognition unit and the gearshift.

Abstract: A motor-driven air vent device for a vehicle is provided. The motor-driven air vent device connects a horizontal wing of an air vent to an output shaft of a driving motor through a link structure and rotatably operates the driving motor in the forward direction or the reverse direction by a touch type switch operation. Accordingly, the vertical angular rotation operation for the horizontal wing is automatically performed by the operation of the link structure delivering the torque of the driving motor.

Abstract: A multifunctional switch manipulator is provided. The manipulator includes a first switch unit, which is curved to be convex at the upper surface thereof, a second switch unit, which is disposed at a first side of the first switch unit and which extends radially in a first direction, and a third switch unit, which is disposed at a second side of the first switch unit and which extends radially in a second direction opposite the first direction. Each of the second and third switch units includes a housing that has an opening and a rotary knob disposed at the housing to be rotatable in a direction in which the opening extends, and at least one surface of the rotary knob is exposed to an outside through the opening.

Abstract: A smart controller for vehicles disposed around a steering column of a vehicle to control various functions of the vehicle is provided. The smart controller includes a support unit protruding from the steering column in a first direction, a connection unit extending from the support unit in a second direction, and a manipulation unit mounted to the connection unit and disposed in a third direction.
