DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18229712 titled 'DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display control device that calculates the position of a detection object in front of a vehicle based on sensing information from sensors. It then decides whether to display a position image overlaying the object's position on a foreground in a display area in front of the driver's seat, based on the reliability of the sensing information.
- Processor coupled to memory
- Calculates position of detection object in front of vehicle
- Uses sensing information from plural sensors
- Displays position image overlaying object's position on foreground
- Decision to display based on reliability of sensing information
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the automotive industry for advanced driver assistance systems, such as collision avoidance and parking assistance.
Problems Solved
1. Improved accuracy in detecting objects in front of a vehicle 2. Enhanced safety by providing real-time information to the driver
Benefits
1. Increased driver awareness of surrounding objects 2. Prevention of potential collisions 3. Enhanced driving experience through advanced technology
Potential Commercial Applications
Enhancing Driver Safety with Advanced Display Control Technology
Unanswered Questions
How does the device determine the reliability of the sensing information acquired from the sensors?
The abstract does not provide details on the specific criteria or algorithms used to assess the reliability of the sensing information.
What types of sensors are used in this display control device?
The abstract mentions plural sensors, but it does not specify the types of sensors utilized in the device.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display control device configured to include a processor coupled to a memory, the processor calculating, based on sets of sensing information acquired from plural sensors that sense objects in front of a vehicle, a position of a detection object in front of the vehicle and, when displaying a position image representing the position of the detection object so as to overlay the position image on a foreground in a display area in front of a driver's seat, deciding whether or not to display the position image based on reliabilities of the sets of sensing information acquired from the plural sensors.
