Embodiments are disclosed for systems for a vehicle. An example system for a vehicle includes a central unit and an input device, wherein the central unit has a first interface for connecting to a first mobile device and a second interface for connecting to a second mobile device, wherein the central unit is configured to assign the first mobile device to a driver and the second mobile device to a passenger in the vehicle, wherein the central unit is configured to output information on a call directed to the first mobile device, wherein the central unit is configured to detect an input by means of the input device during the outputting of information, and wherein the central unit is configured, based on the detection of the input, to redirect the call to the second mobile device.

System for a vehicle and communication method

Embodiments are disclosed for systems for a vehicle. An example system for a vehicle includes a head-up display, a central unit having a circuit, connected to the head-up display, and a recording means for recording first image data of surroundings of the vehicle, wherein the circuit is configured to recognize an object in the surroundings based on the recorded first image data, wherein the head-up display is configured to project an image onto a windshield or onto a combiner of the vehicle, and wherein the circuit is configured to generate second image data for outputting the image and to send the image to the head-up display, to generate a virtual barrier in the second image data, and to position the virtual barrier within the image based on a determined position of the recognized object.

System for a vehicle

Embodiments are disclosed for systems for a vehicle. An example system for a vehicle includes a head-up display and a circuit, which is connected to the head-up display, wherein the head-up display is configured to project an image onto a front windshield of the vehicle or onto a separate combiner, wherein the circuit is configured to output image data to the head-up display, whereby the image data have a set of objects which include messages for the user, to determine a user's workload level, based on a set of driving conditions, to switch between at least one first workload mode and a second workload mode based on the level, whereby the second workload mode is assigned a higher level than the first workload mode, and in the second workload mode to reduce at least one object, which is output in the first workload mode.

Infotainment system with head-up display for symbol projection

A vehicle multimedia system simplifies a user's interaction with the system. A user may access a specific media unit by actuating a switch corresponding to a media unit. A preference unit detects the user's selection of the media unit and selects an end item based on a programmed criterion. The preference unit may automatically activate the end item. The preference unit may be overridden by the user when a switch corresponding to the selected media unit is actuated multiple times. The preference unit may also manage data lists and data packets that store the information used for the criterion comparison.

Activating a function of a vehicle multimedia system

A multifunction input device may be used to operate in-vehicle systems. The multifunction input device includes a main part having a touch surface and a rotating element. The rotating element rotates around the main part. The rotating element includes a touch surface that may select and activate programs, files, and options.
