Abstract:
A saddle riding vehicle includes: a meter apparatus; and a head-up display apparatus including a projection unit and a combiner to which an image from the projection unit is projected. The meter apparatus is arranged at a position overlapping with an optical path from the projection unit to the combiner as viewed in plan view.
Abstract:
To show an image with minimal sense of discomfort felt by an occupant without quickening an updating cycle of an on-screen image, a virtual data generator making up a vehicle meter indicator device generates virtual data based on an arbitrary engine rotation speed between an engine rotation speed proportional to an image currently shown on a liquid crystal display device and a latest engine rotation speed rather than display data based on the latest engine rotation speed immediately before updating if the engine rotation speed declines. This allows the liquid crystal display device to show the generated virtual data on a liquid crystal panel as a virtual image for updating.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for controlling navigation includes generating an emotion data of a first user that illustrates emotion of the first user based on information received from a sensor. The method includes transmitting the emotion data of the first user to a controller configured to control a navigation of a second user. The first user and the second user are members of a same group. The method includes modifying the navigation of the second user according to the emotion data of the first user.

Abstract:
A motorcycle includes liquid crystal display device with a liquid crystal panel and a back light source, a main controller which receives predetermined inputs pertaining to a current operating state of the vehicle or to a rider's intended operations of the vehicle, and a sub-controller for controlling the back light source. The sub-controller is configured to switch the back light source from a normal output state to a low output state if none of the predetermined inputs are inputted to the main controller for at least a predetermined time period, and to switch the back light source back to the normal output state if at least one of the predetermined inputs is inputted to the main controller when the back light source is in the low output state. The predetermined inputs correspond to the rider's operation of control members of the saddle type vehicle when riding.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device of a motorcycle is configured and arranged to rapidly warm up a liquid crystal panel at cool temperatures, without requiring an additional heating member. The liquid crystal display device includes a control unit, for controlling a liquid crystal panel, and a backlight. When the temperature of liquid crystal is lower than a predetermined value, or when it is within a fixed time period after turning on an ignition switch, as a warm-up period, the control unit increases power supplied to the backlight to a larger amount than that in a normal display state, to increase the amount of back light, and temporarily changes the entire display surface to a darker color, in order to increase the amount of light absorbed by the liquid crystal panel, simultaneously reducing the amount of light penetrating the display surface, and thereby speeding up warming of the liquid crystal panel.
