The invention relates to a system and method for facilitating user interaction with multi-relational ontologies. The invention includes a graphical user interface for enabling user visualization and navigation through one or more multi-relational ontologies.

A vehicle drive assist system comprises a camera for picking up an image of an area existing in an advancing direction of a vehicle; display means for displaying the image picked up by the camera; steering angle detecting means for detecting a steering angle for steering the vehicle; traveling path predicting means for predicting a traveling path of the vehicle on the basis of the steering angle detected by the steering angle detecting means; and drive assist means for overlaying on the display means drive assist information containing the vehicle predictive traveling path predicted by the traveling path predicting means and guide lines prolonged from the lines defining the width of the vehicle body on the image of the area existing in the vehicle advancing direction.

A document display device, comprising a memory arranged to store a document in the form of a sequence of pages; a display arranged to provide a user view of pages from the sequence; at least one user input device; a processor responsive to the at least one user input device to change the user view of the sequence of pages wherein the processor is arranged to allow reference markers to be associated with a page by a predetermined first input to the input device and further arranged such that a page associated with the reference marker can be at least partially displayed by a further predetermined input to the input device. Such an arrangement allows one or more pages to marked as a block of pages, and the device allows a user to refer back to the pages at either end of the block.

The invention relates to a mobile device, which comprises a first housing and a second housing, which housings are arranged movable in relation to each other to at least a first and a second position; the first housing comprising a primary display for displaying information and arranged to be visible for a user at least in the first position; the device further comprising a passive image steering element that is adapted to steer at least a part of the view of said primary display to become visible for the user as a secondary display in the second position. This invention also relates to a image steering module, a method in a mobile device and a computer program for controlling a user interface of a device.

The invention provides a method and system for acquiring and estimating road conditions based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Road condition information of vehicles is acquired through a positioning unit, the road condition information is transmitted to other vehicles through a vehicle-to-vehicle communication unit, road condition information of other vehicles is received, the road condition information is processed through an information processing control unit, road condition congestion degrees are acquired and displayed on an electronic map through different colors, and information sharing between the vehicles can be quickly achieved. The quantity of the acquired road condition information is large, the detailed road congestion condition in a certain region surrounding the vehicles can be acquired, all roads in the region can be covered, consumed time in the whole process is short, road conditions can be updated in real time, and road condition services can be provided for specific persons and positions. Positions and time needing road condition estimation are determined, matched road condition information is acquired from stored road condition information and output, the congestion conditions of the roads at a certain moment can be predicted in advance, and users can conveniently conduct path planning in advance.

An interior rearview mirror system for a vehicle includes an interior rearview mirror assembly having a reflective element. An information display is at the interior rearview mirror assembly and displays information for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. The information display may be located behind the reflective element and viewable through the reflective element by the driver of the vehicle. The mirror system includes a handheld device having a position locator and being capable of establishing a geographical position of the handheld device. The information displayed by the information display is derived at least in part via a wireless communication link with the handheld device. The information display may include a display of turn-by-turn information for viewing by the driver of the vehicle. The information display may comprise a video screen.

The present invention enables a user of a portable electronic communications device such as a cell phone to view information on a larger remote reflective cholesteric display. The portable communications device may connect with the remote display by wire or wirelessly. The remote display is separate from the portable communications device but can interact with it. The remote display receives and / or receives and sends information relative to the portable communications device. This information can include e-mail text and graphics. The remote display, being a bistable cholesteric liquid crystal display, possesses low power requirements unmatched by other display technologies. Moreover, the remote display can serve a dual purpose of displaying images and collecting solar power whereby a photovoltaic material behind the display generates electrical energy from light incident on the cholesteric liquid crystal material, which may be used not only to power the remote display but also the portable communications device. This may result in a completely self-powered remote display and associated portable communications device. The solar cell itself can be a component of the display. A display having only a single substrate may employ the solar cell as the substrate. A dispersion layer comprised of cholesteric liquid crystal material dispersed in a polymer matrix, may be disposed over the substrate. Another aspect of the invention features a drapable remote bistable cholesteric display.

Provided in the embodiment of the present invention are a flight path setting method and apparatus, wherein the method provided in the embodiment of the present invention comprises: acquiring flight path data of an aircraft; determining waypoint coordinates in the flight path data, and configuring a flight path display interface according to a maximal distance value between the determined waypoint coordinates; displaying the flight path of the aircraft in the configured flight path display interface according to the waypoint coordinates in the flight path data; and resetting the flight path displayed in the flight path display interface according to received editing information corresponding to an editing operation, to obtain the updated flight path data of the aircraft. By using the present invention, the user can be given the function of flight path editing and the information concerning the flight path is displayed to the user in an intuitive and comprehensive way, which accordingly saves the time of the user and meets the requirements of the user for automated and intelligent viewing and editing of the flight path.
