FLEXIBLE DISPLAY OF VEHICLE INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240262192 titled 'FLEXIBLE DISPLAY OF VEHICLE INFORMATION
The patent application describes a system and method for displaying vehicle information in a secondary location when adverse visibility conditions affect the default location.
- The system transmits a first signal to display vehicle information in a default location of a vehicle.
- Upon detecting adverse visibility conditions, data is received indicating suboptimal perception of the vehicle information in the default location.
- A second signal is then transmitted to display the vehicle information in a secondary location to improve visibility.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for enhancing driver visibility and safety. - Fleet management systems to optimize information display in varying conditions.
Problems Solved: - Addressing suboptimal perception of vehicle information due to adverse visibility conditions. - Improving driver awareness and safety on the road.
Benefits: - Enhanced visibility of critical vehicle information. - Improved driver response and decision-making in challenging conditions.
Commercial Applications: - Integration into vehicle display systems for commercial and consumer vehicles. - Potential partnerships with automotive manufacturers for innovative safety features.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system determine adverse visibility conditions?
- The system likely uses sensors to detect factors like fog, rain, or low light conditions.
2. What types of vehicle information can be displayed in the secondary location?
- Information such as speed, navigation directions, or warnings could be displayed.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system and method transmits a first signal to display vehicle information in a default location of a vehicle upon an occurrence of a condition, receives data indicative of an adverse visibility condition causing suboptimal perception of the vehicle information in the default location, and transmits a second signal to display the vehicle information in a secondary location.
