==AUGMENTED REALITY VISUAL DRIVER MANUAL ENRICHED WITH VEHICLE HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE STATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017614 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY VISUAL DRIVER MANUAL ENRICHED WITH VEHICLE HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE STATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method for determining the function and status of a human-machine interface (HMI) in a vehicle. The method involves capturing an image of at least one mechanically actuable HMI in the vehicle and identifying the target HMI in the image. HMI information and the current mechanical actuation status of the target HMI are obtained from the vehicle. An augmented reality image is generated with the HMI information and actuation status, and then displayed on a display device.

* The method involves capturing an image of a mechanically actuable HMI in a vehicle.
* The target HMI in the captured image is determined.
* HMI information about the target HMI is obtained.
* The current mechanical actuation status of the target HMI is determined.
* An augmented reality image is generated with the HMI information and actuation status.
* The augmented reality image is sent to a display device.

Potential applications of this technology:
* Automotive industry: This method can be used to provide real-time information about the function and status of HMIs in vehicles, improving the user experience and safety.
* Maintenance and repair: The method can assist technicians in identifying and troubleshooting issues with HMIs in vehicles, reducing repair time and costs.

Problems solved by this technology:
* Limited visibility: The method allows for capturing and displaying information about HMIs that may not be easily visible to the driver or technician.
* Real-time information: By providing real-time information about the function and status of HMIs, this method helps in identifying any malfunctions or issues promptly.

Benefits of this technology:
* Enhanced user experience: The augmented reality image provides a clear and intuitive representation of the HMI function and status, improving the user's interaction with the vehicle.
* Improved safety: By providing real-time information about the status of HMIs, this method helps drivers to make informed decisions and reduces the risk of accidents caused by malfunctioning HMIs.
* Efficient maintenance and repair: The method simplifies the identification and troubleshooting of HMI issues, enabling technicians to quickly address any problems and minimize vehicle downtime.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a method to determine a function and status of a human machine interface, hmi, of a vehicle is provided. the method includes receiving, by a processor device of a computing system, a captured image of at least one mechanically actuatable hmi of the vehicle. the method includes determining a target mechanically actuatable hmi of the vehicle in the captured image. the method includes obtaining hmi information about the target mechanically actuatable hmi. the method includes determining, from the vehicle, a current mechanical actuation status of the target mechanically actuatable hmi. the method includes generating an augmented reality image having the hmi information and the current mechanical actuation status of the mechanically actuatable hmi. the method includes sending the augmented reality image to a display device.
