HEAD-UP DISPLAY WITH ADAPTIVE COLOR PALETTE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042851 titled 'HEAD-UP DISPLAY WITH ADAPTIVE COLOR PALETTE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a head-up display system for vehicles that can project graphics onto the windshield. The system includes a graphic projection module, a user input device, and one or more controllers. The controller instructs the graphic projection module to generate a luminance adjustment graphic, which includes an adaptive color palette graphic with multiple colors. The user can input a change in luminance in a selected color to discern differences between the colors caused by color vision deficiency.

  • The system is a head-up display for vehicles that projects graphics onto the windshield.
  • It includes a graphic projection module, a user input device, and one or more controllers.
  • The controller instructs the graphic projection module to generate a luminance adjustment graphic.
  • The luminance adjustment graphic includes an adaptive color palette graphic with multiple colors.
  • The user can input a change in luminance in a selected color to discern differences between colors caused by color vision deficiency.

Potential Applications:

  • Enhancing the driving experience by providing important information directly on the windshield.
  • Assisting drivers with color vision deficiencies in discerning differences between colors.
  • Improving safety by reducing the need for drivers to look away from the road to access information.

Problems Solved:

  • Difficulty for drivers with color vision deficiencies in distinguishing between colors.
  • Inefficient access to information while driving due to the need to look away from the road.
  • Limited visibility of important information, especially in low-light conditions.

Benefits:

  • Improved safety by allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road while accessing information.
  • Enhanced driving experience by providing a clear and easily discernible display on the windshield.
  • Accessibility for drivers with color vision deficiencies, allowing them to navigate and interpret information effectively.


Original Abstract Submitted

a head-up display for displaying graphics upon a windscreen of a vehicle includes a graphic projection module for generating images upon the windscreen of the vehicle, a user input device for receiving user-generated commands created by a user of the vehicle, and one or more controllers in electronic communication with the graphic projection module and the user input device. the controller executes instructions to instruct the graphic projection module to generate a luminance adjustment graphic, where the luminance adjustment graphic includes an adaptive color palette graphic including two or more colors. the controller receives, from the user input device, a user-generated luminance input indicating a change in a level of luminance in a selected color, where the change in the level of luminance in the selected color is selected by the user to discern differences between the two or more colors caused by a color vision deficiency.
