The information control apparatus optimizes display control based on safety around a vehicle and a driver's level of ease regarding driving. An information control apparatus according to an embodiment includes a vehicle information acquisition interface that acquires information related to a vehicle, a driver information acquisition interface that acquires information related to a driver, and a controller that predicts the safety around the vehicle and the level of ease of the driver regarding driving based on the information related to the vehicle and the information related to the driver. The controller controls display information based on the safety and the level of ease.

Information control apparatus

Provided is an in-vehicle information processing system that can be operated intuitively. An in-vehicle information processing system () includes a display (), a touch operation interface (), an imaging unit (), and a controller (). The display () includes at least one screen. The touch operation interface () detects contact by an operation hand of an operator. The imaging unit () captures an image of the touch operation interface () and at least a portion of the operation hand. The controller () associates position coordinates in an operation region (R) on the screen with position coordinates in a predetermined region (R) of the touch operation interface () and causes at least a portion of the operation hand to be displayed in overlap on the screen on the basis of the image captured by the imaging unit ().

In-vehicle information processing system

Principally, character input operation can be carried out surely in a simplified manner and in a short time. A character input assist device includes one or more side edge parts provided at a panel surface of a touch panel to have a step serving as a finger hold, and a character icon display controller that is configured to display, along the side edge parts at the panel surface, a plurality of first character icons and second character icons associated with a selected first character icon, and an icon identifiers provided at the side edge parts to allow the position of each of the first character icons or the second character icons to be individually identified.
