VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS AND DISPLAY PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18297008 titled 'VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS AND DISPLAY PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle display control apparatus that detects the line of sight of a driver and estimates their visual field. It then controls the display information on the vehicle's display unit based on the positional relationship between the estimated visual field and the display unit. This allows the information to be displayed in a way that is easily recognized by the driver, based on their recognition level.

  • The apparatus detects the line of sight of the driver.
  • It estimates the visual field of the driver based on the detected line of sight.
  • The display information on the vehicle's display unit is controlled based on the positional relationship between the estimated visual field and the display unit.
  • The control of display information is done to match the recognition level of the driver.
  • The information is displayed in a mode that is easily recognized by the driver.

Potential Applications

  • Automotive industry: This technology can be applied in vehicles to improve the display of information to the driver, enhancing their driving experience and safety.
  • Transportation systems: The technology can be implemented in various transportation systems, such as trains or airplanes, to optimize the display of information for the operators.

Problems Solved

  • Recognition level: The technology addresses the issue of displaying information to the driver/operator in a way that matches their recognition level, ensuring that important information is easily noticed and understood.
  • Display optimization: By controlling the display information based on the driver's visual field, the technology solves the problem of inefficient or ineffective information display, improving the overall user experience.

Benefits

  • Improved safety: By displaying information in a mode easily recognized by the driver, the technology enhances safety by reducing distractions and improving the driver's ability to quickly perceive important information.
  • Enhanced user experience: The optimized display of information improves the overall user experience by providing relevant information in a clear and easily understandable manner.


Original Abstract Submitted

In a vehicle display control apparatus, a line of sight of a driver is detected, and a visual field of the driver is estimated from the detected line of sight. Then, display information displayed on a display unit of a vehicle is controlled based on a positional relationship between the estimated visual field and the display unit. As a result, the information to be displayed can be controlled in accordance with a recognition level of the driver for the information displayed on the display unit based on the positional relationship between the visual field of the driver and the display unit, and the information can be displayed in a mode easily recognized by the driver.
