APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HUD OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17752225 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HUD OF VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
An apparatus for controlling a head-up display (HUD) of a vehicle has been developed. The system includes a navigation device, a display, and a controller. Here are the key points:
- The apparatus calculates the remaining distance from the vehicle's current position to the next point where the driving direction changes.
- The display shows vehicle information as an augmented reality image, overlaying it on the real-world view.
- The controller compares the remaining distance with a predetermined distance and decides whether to correct it based on the comparison result.
- When correcting the remaining distance, the controller takes into account the height of the augmented reality image displayed on the HUD.
- The corrected remaining distance is used to determine the projected position of the augmented reality image, which is set at a distance from the vehicle's current position.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive industry: This apparatus can be integrated into vehicles to enhance the driving experience by providing real-time information in an augmented reality format.
- Navigation systems: The apparatus can improve navigation systems by accurately projecting relevant information onto the driver's view, making it easier to follow directions.
- Safety features: By displaying important information directly in the driver's line of sight, the apparatus can help reduce distractions and improve overall safety on the road.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurate positioning: The apparatus calculates and corrects the remaining distance to ensure the augmented reality image is projected at the correct location, improving the accuracy of the information displayed.
- Real-time information: By overlaying vehicle information on the real-world view, the apparatus provides drivers with up-to-date information without the need to look away from the road.
- Reduced distractions: The HUD display reduces the need for drivers to look at separate screens or devices, minimizing distractions and improving focus on the road.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced driving experience: The augmented reality display provides a more intuitive and immersive way of presenting information, improving the overall driving experience.
- Improved safety: By keeping the driver's eyes focused on the road, the apparatus helps reduce the risk of accidents caused by distractions.
- Accurate navigation: The corrected projected position ensures that the driver receives accurate and timely information about upcoming driving direction changes.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus for controlling a head up display of a vehicle includes a navigation device that calculates a residual distance from a position of the vehicle to a driving direction change point, a display that displays vehicle information as an augmented reality image, and a controller that compares the residual distance with a preset distance, determines whether to correct the residual distance depending on a result of the comparison, corrects the residual distance based on an output height of the augmented reality image when correcting the residual distance, and sets a position spaced apart by the corrected residual distance from the position of the vehicle as a projected position of the augmented reality image.
