Abstract
A centralized control system of a vehicle includes a control unit and a display screen. The control unit is capable of controlling the display screen to display instrument images and entertainment images in at least two different and switchable display modes based on at least two operating systems. In a first (instrument-focused) display mode, the instrument images and the entertainment images displayed on the display screen are both generated under control of the first operating system and an area occupied by the instrument images on the display screen is greater than an area occupied by the entertainment images on the display screen. In a second (entertainment-focused) display mode, an area occupied by the instrument images on the display screen is less than or equal to an area occupied by the entertainment images on the display screen, with at least some of the entertainment images generated by the second operating system.
