Abstract: A vehicular image display device includes a detection unit, a setting image display unit, an image change unit, and a previous notice execution unit. The image change unit changes a setting image of a display screen displayed by the setting image display unit to a setting disable image indicating that a setting of an operation content for a vehicle-mounted device is disabled and including a display of a vehicle speed when the detection unit detects the travel start of the vehicle. The previous notice execution unit executes a previous notice display by continuously moving a boundary between an area in which the setting image is displayed and an area in which the setting disable image is displayed on the display screen so as to increase the area of the setting disable image, prior to a change to the setting disable image.

Abstract: A vehicle display control device includes a timing determination unit that determines timing when it is authenticated that the mobile terminal is an object that can provide the mobile screen information after the start of processing of connection between an HCU and the mobile terminal.

Abstract: A vehicle display device includes: a display; a vehicle information image generator; an external image obtaining device; a display controller that displays the vehicle information image and the external image on the display; and an external image display determination device that determines whether the display controller is going to display the not displayed external image. When the display controller is going to display the not displayed external image, the display controller displays the external image, which the display controller is going to display, on the display with gradually increasing brightness of the external image from the brightness that is lower by a predetermined amount than original brightness to predetermined brightness that is determined based on the original brightness.

Abstract: A control apparatus includes a first input unit, a second input unit, and an operation command output unit. The first input unit receives a first manipulation signal indicative of a first manipulation including a first manipulation point and a first manipulation pressure from a first touchpad. The second input unit receives a second manipulation signal indicative of a second manipulation including a second manipulation point and a second manipulation pressure from a second touchpad. The operation command output unit receives the first manipulation signal and the second manipulation signal, and outputs an operation command to a display device based on a combination of the first manipulation and the second manipulation. The first touchpad is arranged to be approachable by a first manipulation finger of a left hand. The second touchpad is arranged to be approachable by a second manipulation finger of a right hand.

Abstract: An awareness level improvement device has an input portion, a determination portion, and a controller. Data related to the awareness level of the driver is input into the input portion. The determination portion determines whether the driver is in a absentminded state based on the data input into the input portion. The controller controls an execution portion to execute an application improving the awareness level of the driver when the determination portion determines that the driver is driving in the absentminded state. The application includes a body motion application that prompts the driver to perform a body motion.
