VEHICLE DISPLAY DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY SYSTEM, VEHICLE DISPLAY METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM STORED WITH PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18392587 titled 'VEHICLE DISPLAY DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY SYSTEM, VEHICLE DISPLAY METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM STORED WITH PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle display device described in the patent application is designed to provide information about obstacles in the surroundings of a vehicle to the driver. It includes an obstacle information acquisition section and a mark display section. The mark display section can display individual marks for specific obstacles and cluster marks for multiple obstacles when certain conditions are met.
- Obstacle information acquisition section: Acquires information about multiple obstacles around the vehicle.
- Mark display section: Displays individual marks for specific obstacles and cluster marks for multiple obstacles inside the vehicle cabin when a predetermined condition is satisfied.
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in automotive safety systems to alert drivers to potential hazards on the road.
Problems Solved
This technology helps drivers be more aware of obstacles in their surroundings, potentially reducing the risk of accidents.
Benefits
- Improved driver awareness of obstacles - Enhanced safety on the road
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be integrated into vehicles as part of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) or autonomous driving systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing obstacle detection and warning systems in vehicles, such as parking sensors or blind-spot monitoring systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system determine when to display individual marks versus cluster marks?
The patent application does not provide specific details on the criteria used to determine when to display individual marks or cluster marks.
What types of obstacles can be detected and displayed by the device?
The patent application does not specify the range or types of obstacles that can be detected and displayed by the device.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle display device includes: an obstacle information acquisition section configured to acquire information relating to a plurality of obstacles in surroundings of a vehicle; and a mark display section configured to display a predetermined individual mark prompting caution toward an individual obstacle among the plurality of obstacles by superimposed display in a display region inside a vehicle cabin, and to display a predetermined cluster mark prompting caution toward a plurality of the obstacles by superimposed display in the display region in a case in which a predetermined condition has been satisfied.
