Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and computer storage media are disclosed for vehicle display based on vehicle speed. An example vehicle includes a speed sensor to measure a vehicle speed, a display controller to compare the vehicle speed to a threshold, and a display. The example display is to present, in response to the vehicle speed being less than the threshold, a first button at a button location. The example display is to present, in response to the vehicle speed being greater than or equal to the threshold, a second button at the button location.

Claims

1. A vehicle comprising:

a speed sensor to measure a vehicle speed;

a display controller to compare the vehicle speed to a threshold; and

a display to;

present, in response to the vehicle speed being less than the threshold, a first button at a button location; and

present, in response to the vehicle speed being greater than or equal to the threshold, a second button at the button location.

2. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the display presents the first button or the second button at the button location.

3. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the first button is associated with a first vehicle feature and the second button is associated with a second vehicle feature.

4. The vehicle of claim 3, wherein the first vehicle feature is a start-stop engine system and the second vehicle feature is a lane-assist system.

5. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the display is a touch screen.

6. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the display controller detects when the first button is pressed by a user.

7. The vehicle of claim 6, wherein, in response to the display controller determining the first button is pressed for a duration less than a threshold duration, the display presents a first feature interface associated with the first button.

8. The vehicle of claim 7, wherein, in response to the display controller determining the duration is greater than or equal to the threshold duration, the display presents the second button at the button location.

9. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the display controller detects when the second button is pressed by a user.

10. The vehicle of claim 9, wherein, in response to the display controller determining the second button is pressed for a duration less than a threshold duration, the display presents a second feature interface associated with the second button.

11. The vehicle of claim 10, wherein, in response to the display controller determining the duration is greater than or equal to the threshold duration, the display presents the first button at the button location.

12. A method for presenting a button on a vehicle display, the method comprising:

comparing, via a processor, a speed of a vehicle to a threshold;

presenting, via a display of the vehicle, a first button at a button location in response to the speed being less than the threshold; and

presenting a second button at the button location in response to the speed being greater than or equal to the threshold.

13. The method of claim 12, further including measuring the speed of the vehicle via a vehicle speed sensor of the vehicle.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the first button is associated with a first vehicle feature and the second button is associated with a second vehicle feature.

15. The method of claim 12, further including detecting when at least one of the first button and the second button is pressed by a user.

16. The method of claim 15, further including presenting, in response to determining the first button is pressed for a duration less than a threshold duration, a first feature interface associated with the first button.

17. The vehicle of claim 16, further including presenting, in response to detecting the duration is greater than or equal to the threshold duration, the second button at the button location.

18. The vehicle of claim 15, further including presenting, in response determining the second button is selected for a duration less than a threshold duration, a second feature interface associated with the second button.

19. The vehicle of claim 18, further including presenting, in response to determining the duration is greater than or equal to the threshold duration, the first button at the button location.

20. A tangible computer storage medium comprising instructions, which, when executed, cause a machine to:

compare a speed of a vehicle to a threshold;

present, via a display of the vehicle, a first button at a button location in response to the speed being less than the threshold; and

present a second button at the button location in response to the speed being greater than or equal to the threshold.
