  • Patent number: 11681431
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to a technique automatically adapting a vehicle HMI to a user preference. The HMI includes a touchscreen displaying selectable icons associated with functions. Every time the HMI detects a selection of a first icon by a user among the icons, the HMI sends to the server, first information on a first function associated with the first icon, when the first icon is selected, and where the HMI is located when the first icon is selected. The server analyzes the first information to recognize a pattern of behavior taken by the user in selecting the first icon, generating a first user preference. The HMI updates an arrangement of the icons on the touchscreen based on the first user preference. The first user preference includes parameters that includes a certain day of a week, a certain time of that day, and a location.

  • Patent number: 11651724
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electroluminescent display panel and a display device, and relates to the field of display technologies. The display region comprises a photosensitive device arranging region, a camera or fingerprint recognition device is arranged in the photosensitive device arranging region, rather than in the frame, and thus a relatively larger area occupying in the frame is avoided, to allow the frame be made narrower, and the screen-to-body ratio be increased. Also for the photosensitive device arranging region, the first signal lines and the second signal lines are arranged more intensively by arranging overlap areas in the orthographic projection of one first pixel on the base substrate, to allow the display panel have more concentrated space as the light-transmission region, so that the light transmittance of the photosensitive device arranging region can be increased to provide more lights to the camera or fingerprint recognition device.
