ABSTRACT:
An information display unit for an automobile includes a display screen and a user interface presented on the display screen that simultaneously presents at least two display elements each depicting information relating to a different subsystem of the automobile (e.g., a navigational subsystem and an audio subsystem). The user interface visually emphasizes one of display element relative to another other display element in response to a predetermined stimulus such as a user's hand actuating or coming near a radio control knob or an approaching turn recommended by a navigation system.
