VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDED WITH VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL PROGRAM, AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18330516 titled 'VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDED WITH VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL PROGRAM, AND VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a device that controls the display in a vehicle based on position information of objects detected ahead of the vehicle. The device generates an image indicating the direction towards the detected object and overlays it on the forward scene displayed in front of the driver's seat. However, the device limits the display of the image to a specific region inside the display area.
- The device acquires position information of objects detected ahead of the vehicle.
- It generates an image indicating the direction towards the detected object.
- The image is displayed on a display area in front of the driver's seat.
- The image is overlaid on the forward scene of the vehicle.
- The display of the image is limited to a specific region inside the display area.
Potential Applications
- Automotive industry: This technology can be used in vehicles to provide drivers with enhanced visual information about objects ahead, improving safety and navigation.
Problems Solved
- Limited visibility: The device addresses the problem of limited visibility by overlaying an image indicating the direction towards detected objects, allowing the driver to have a better understanding of the surroundings.
Benefits
- Improved safety: By providing drivers with visual information about objects ahead, the technology enhances safety by helping drivers make informed decisions and avoid potential collisions.
- Enhanced navigation: The device assists drivers in navigating by displaying the direction towards detected objects, improving situational awareness and reducing the chances of getting lost.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle display control device acquires position information of a detection object ahead of a vehicle. The vehicle display control device generates an image indicating a direction from the vehicle toward the detection object based on the acquired position information of the detection object. When the generated image is displayed on a display area in front of a driver's seat of the vehicle, the vehicle display control device causes display of the image overlaid on a forward scene of the vehicle while limiting display of the image in a specific region inside the display area.
