DISPLAY SYSTEM, VEHICLE, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240123905 titled 'DISPLAY SYSTEM, VEHICLE, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display system for vehicles that includes a camera on the opposite lane side of the vehicle and a monitor control unit to display an image captured by the camera in a turn-ready state.

  • Opposite lane side camera captures forward direction of the vehicle
  • Monitor control unit displays image from camera in turn-ready state

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and buses, to provide drivers with a better view of the opposite lane side when preparing to make a turn.

Problems Solved

This technology helps to improve visibility for drivers, especially in situations where they need to make a turn across multiple lanes of traffic.

Benefits

- Enhanced safety for drivers and pedestrians - Improved situational awareness for drivers - Better maneuverability for vehicles in complex traffic situations

Potential Commercial Applications

- Automotive industry for new vehicle models - Transportation companies for fleet vehicles - Aftermarket products for vehicle upgrades

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing systems that use cameras for displaying images in vehicles, but the specific configuration of an opposite lane side camera for turn-ready states may be unique to this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does the system differentiate between a regular driving state and a turn-ready state? 2. Are there any potential privacy concerns with having a camera on the opposite lane side of a vehicle?


Original Abstract Submitted
