Publication number: 20240111393Abstract: A vehicle state detection unit detects whether a vehicle including an information apparatus is in motion or stopped. A display control unit displays operation items related to various functions provided by the information apparatus on a display. A function execution unit executes a function corresponding to a selected operation item. An identification unit identifies the frequency of use of each operation item by classifying the items according to whether the vehicle is in motion or stopped. The display control unit further displays on a prescribed menu screen in which some of the operation items are aggregated. On the prescribed menu screen, when the vehicle is in motion, the operation item identified as having a high frequency of use when the vehicle is in motion is displayed, and when the vehicle is stopped, the operation item identified as having a high frequency of use when the vehicle is stopped is displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Faurecia Clarion Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shingo TAKEI, Taishin KONISHI, Haruki ONO, Kazuya NINOMIYA, Kazunori SATO, Toshiyuki TAKATANI
