  • Publication number: 20220377313
    Abstract: Natural appearance of transition from a predetermined object of two-dimensional content displayed on a two-dimensional display to a three-dimensional display model of an AR display device or vice versa is achieved. Control is performed such that, the transition is performed after switching the two-dimensional content from the motion parallax non-application display to the motion parallax application display. For example, control is performed such that the motion parallax application display is displayed on the two-dimensional display in a case where there is one AR display device, and the motion parallax application display is displayed on the AR display device in a case where there is a plurality of AR display devices.

  • Patent number: 11110871
    Abstract: An ECU compares a plurality of pieces of data that include the same identification information if they are received within a preset time range. If it is determined, as a result of the comparison, that there are one or more data groups each consisting of data having the same content, and the number of largest data groups with the largest number of pieces of data among the one or more data groups is one, the ECU selects data included in the largest data group as proper data. In the ECU, if it is determined that, as a result of comparison, that there is no data group, or the number of largest data groups is greater than one, the contents of the plurality of pieces of data received within the time range are ignored.
