  • Publication number: 20240075874
    Abstract: A data processing device for performing suitable feedback with regard to a pointing gesture of a vehicle occupant is provided. The occupant state recognition unit recognizes motion of an occupant of the vehicle pointing to outside the vehicle. The peripheral conditions acquisition unit acquires the peripheral circumstances around the vehicle. The target recognition unit recognizes a target pointed at by the occupant based on recognition results obtained by the occupant state recognition unit and recognition results obtained by the peripheral conditions acquisition unit. The light emitting unit has a long shape and is installed above or below a windshield of the vehicle over a vehicle body width direction. The light emission control unit controls, in two stages, a luminescence mode for a portion of the light emitting unit corresponding to a direction pointed at by the occupant and/or a direction in which the target is located.

  • Patent number: 9827907
    Abstract: Display of a drive assist by a virtual image is understandably presented to a driver. A drive assist device 1, which displays a virtual image 35 including a vehicle mark 76 on a vehicle 2 and assists driving by moving the vehicle mark 76, is configured to be provided with a relative-value converting unit 62 which converts a recommended driving operation to be shown to a driver 3 to a relative value based on a driving operation of present time; wherein the vehicle mark 76 is moved by a movement amount corresponding to the relative value to notify the driver 3 of the recommended driving operation.

  • Patent number: 7315291
    Abstract: By opening and closing the sub display with respect to the main display D1 via a hinge H mounted on the side portion, a variety of uses, such as to display different information on the two different displays, are easily realized, whereby easily supporting diversification of displayed information expected in the future and improvement of the functions. The sub display can be rotated upside down in addition to the horizontal open/close movement with respect to the main display D1, thereby increasing the possible states of use. When the sub display is rotated upside down by 180°, each button B and the markings marked thereon rotates and inverted as well, the marking is shown in the normal orientation, but not inverted orientation as a consequent, thereby facilitating identification and operation of each button. The state of currently selected/connected source is displayed on one of the main display D1 and the sub display.
