VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND VEHICLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240181879 titled 'VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND VEHICLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle display control device that can recognize a travel lane and display images along the lane to be superimposed on the view ahead of the host vehicle when the vehicle approaches the edge of the lane.

  • The device includes at least one processor configured to recognize a travel lane.
  • The processor displays one image of preset plural images along the travel lane.
  • The image is superimposed on the view ahead of the host vehicle when the vehicle approaches the edge of the lane.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as automotive, transportation, and navigation systems.

Problems Solved

1. Enhances safety by providing visual cues to the driver when the vehicle approaches the edge of the travel lane. 2. Improves navigation and driving assistance by displaying relevant information directly on the road ahead.

Benefits

1. Increased driver awareness and safety. 2. Enhanced driving experience with real-time visual guidance. 3. Improved navigation accuracy and efficiency.

Potential Commercial Applications
