DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240177362 titled 'DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display control device for a vehicle that forms an augmented reality (AR) image conforming to the dividing line of a lane and adjusts the visibility of the AR image based on the distance between the vehicle and objects in the lane.
- Image forming section forms AR image conforming to lane dividing line
- Object recognition section identifies objects in the lane
- Processor controls AR image formation and adjusts visibility based on distance to objects
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Advanced driver assistance systems
- Autonomous vehicles
- Navigation systems
Problems Solved
- Enhances driver awareness of lane boundaries and objects in the lane
- Improves safety by adjusting AR image visibility to prevent overlap with objects
Benefits
- Increased safety on the road
- Enhanced driving experience with AR technology
- Improved navigation and lane-keeping assistance
Potential Commercial Applications
- Automotive industry for vehicle safety systems
- Technology companies developing AR solutions for vehicles
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing AR systems in vehicles that display lane information but do not adjust visibility based on object proximity.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device determine the specific portion of the AR image to reduce visibility?
The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific algorithm or method used to determine which portion of the AR image to adjust.
Are there any limitations to the object recognition capabilities of the device?
It is unclear from the abstract whether the object recognition section can accurately identify all types of objects in the lane under various conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
a display control device for a vehicle, includes an image forming section configured to form an ar image having a shape that conforms to a dividing line of a lane in which a vehicle travels, an object recognition section configured to recognize object positioned in the lane, and a processor configured to control the image forming section so as to form the ar image. in a case in which it has been determined, based on a distance between the vehicle and the object, that there is a possibility that the ar image will overlap with the object, the processor reduces a visibility of a specific portion of the ar image, which is a portion that has a possibility of overlapping with the object, relative to a case in which it has not been determined that there is a possibility that the ar image will overlap with the object.
