  • Patent number: 11372611
    Abstract: A vehicular display control system includes first and second displays disposed in a vehicle interior, a screen switching operation receiver, and a screen switching controller. The screen switching operation receiver is disposed at a position in the vehicle interior operable by a user while maintaining a driving posture, and receives a first screen switching operation and a second screen switching operation from the user. The screen switching controller performs a first screen switching control for switching a display of a content screen on the first display when the first screen switching operation is received and performs a second screen switching control for switching a display of a content screen on the second display when the second screen switching operation is received.

  • Publication number: 20150150488
    Abstract: In an evaluation process, a first muscle strength (i.e., muscle potential) of a first muscle responsible for a dorsiflexing action of the ankle joint of a leg manipulating an accelerator pedal is acquired using a first muscle potential sensor. A second muscle strength (i.e., muscle potential) of a second muscle responsible for a plantarflexing action of the ankle joint of the leg manipulating the accelerator pedal is acquired using a second muscle potential sensor. Then, on the basis of time-series variation of each of the muscle potentials acquired using the first and second muscle potential sensors, a synchronous activity level is calculated as an evaluation index. When the difference between the evaluation index and an evaluation standard pre-determined is not less than a prescribed value, it is evaluated that an occupant of a vehicle feels stress as a result of manipulating an in-vehicle information apparatus while driving the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4707020
    Abstract: A body structure of a motor vehicle having exterior panels at least one of which is made of synthetic resin is disclosed. The resin panel or panels are each fixed at one side thereof to a rigid member which provides the vehicle body with mechanical strength. Another side of the resin panel which faces the fixed side is retained in a slidable manner. An end portion of the slidable side of the resin panel is offset in the inward-outward direction of the vehicle body relative to an end portion of a nearby exterior panel. In this construction, thermal expansion of the resin panel is effectively accommodated.
