VEHICLE DISPLAY DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE DISPLAY METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18304351 titled 'VEHICLE DISPLAY DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE DISPLAY METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle display device described in this patent application has the following features:
- Mode setting unit: This unit is installed in a vehicle and allows the user to choose between two modes - the first mode and the second mode.
- Acquisition unit: This unit is also installed in the vehicle and is responsible for collecting the driving diagnosis result of the vehicle.
- Display unit: The display unit can show an image representing the driving diagnosis result in two different ways, depending on the mode selected. In the first mode, the image is displayed in a straightforward manner. However, in the second mode, the image is displayed in a more complex manner that makes it harder for the vehicle's occupant to understand.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Vehicle diagnostics: The driving diagnosis result displayed can provide valuable information about the vehicle's performance and any potential issues that need attention.
- Driver training: The complex display in the second mode can be used as a training tool to challenge and improve the skills of the vehicle's occupant.
- Privacy protection: The more difficult-to-recognize display in the second mode can help protect the privacy of the vehicle's occupant by making it harder for others to understand the displayed information.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved user experience: By providing different display modes, the device allows the user to choose the level of detail and complexity they prefer.
- Enhanced safety: The complex display in the second mode can reduce distractions for the vehicle's occupant, promoting safer driving.
- Privacy protection: The more difficult-to-recognize display in the second mode helps prevent unauthorized individuals from easily understanding the displayed information.
Benefits of this technology:
- Customizability: The user can select the mode that best suits their preferences and needs.
- Safety enhancement: The device promotes safer driving by reducing distractions and improving the driver's focus on the road.
- Privacy protection: The complex display in the second mode helps protect the privacy of the vehicle's occupant by making it harder for others to interpret the displayed information.
