Possible Prior Art
There may be existing systems that provide obstacle information to drivers, but the specific combination of acquiring obstacle data and displaying cautionary marks inside the vehicle cabin may be unique to this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device determine when to display individual versus cluster marks for obstacles?
The patent application does not provide specific details on the criteria used to determine when to display individual cautionary marks versus cluster marks for obstacles.
What types of obstacles can be detected and displayed by the device?
The patent application mentions acquiring information on a plurality of obstacles, but it 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.
