APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HEAD UP DISPLAY OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17891459 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HEAD UP DISPLAY OF VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

An apparatus and method for controlling a head-up display of a vehicle is described in this patent application. The system includes a navigation device, a display device, and a controller.

  • The navigation device determines the remaining distance from the vehicle's current location to a point where the driving direction changes.
  • The display device shows vehicle information as an augmented reality image, overlaying it onto the driver's view.
  • The controller calculates the vehicle speed at a specific distance before the driving direction change point.
  • Based on the vehicle speed, the controller determines the projection time point of the augmented reality image.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry: This technology can be implemented in vehicles to enhance the driving experience and provide important information to the driver.
  • Navigation systems: The augmented reality display can help drivers navigate more effectively by overlaying directions and other relevant information onto the road.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Difficulty in recognizing augmented reality images: By considering the vehicle speed, the system ensures that the augmented reality image is displayed at the right time and in a way that is easily recognizable to the driver.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety: By allowing the driver to easily recognize the augmented reality image, this technology enhances the driver's situational awareness and promotes safe driving.
  • Enhanced driving experience: The augmented reality display provides real-time information to the driver, making driving more convenient and efficient.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus and method for controlling a head-up display of a vehicle includes a navigation device that determines a remaining distance from a location of the vehicle to a driving direction change point, a display device that displays vehicle information as an augmented reality image, and a controller configured for determining a vehicle speed at a point where the remaining distance is a specified distance, and determines a projection time point of the augmented reality image based on to the vehicle speed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a safe driving to the driver by allowing the driver to easily recognize the augmented reality image in consideration of the vehicle speed.
