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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198800 titled 'VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM FOR A VEHICLE

The patent application describes a vehicle display control device that generates a linear superimposed image indicating the travel path of a vehicle on a landscape at the front side of the vehicle.

  • The device can change the direction in which the leading end of the superimposed image faces based on road curvature, using road information for the vehicle front side.
  • This technology allows for a visual representation of the vehicle's path overlaid on the landscape, aiding in navigation and driving assistance.
  • By adjusting the orientation of the superimposed image, the device can provide real-time guidance to the driver based on the road conditions.
  • The control device enhances the driver's situational awareness and helps improve safety on the road by providing clear visual cues.
  • This innovation combines image processing and road information to create a dynamic and interactive display for the driver.

Potential Applications: - Advanced driver assistance systems - Navigation systems - Autonomous vehicles

Problems Solved: - Enhances driver awareness of the vehicle's path - Provides real-time guidance based on road curvature - Improves safety on the road by offering clear visual cues

Benefits: - Increased driver confidence and safety - Enhanced navigation experience - Improved driving assistance for challenging road conditions

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Vehicle Display Control Device for Enhanced Navigation This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for the development of advanced driver assistance systems and navigation solutions. It has the potential to enhance the driving experience and improve safety on the road, making it a valuable addition to modern vehicles.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device determine the road curvature to adjust the orientation of the superimposed image? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for autonomous vehicles?


Original Abstract Submitted

a vehicle display control device including at least one processor, the at least one processor being configured to generate a linear superimposed image indicating a travel path of a vehicle by being drawn so as to be superimposed on a landscape at a vehicle front side and extend toward the vehicle front side, and carry out control so as to change a direction in which a leading end side of the superimposed image faces, according to a road curvature, based on road information for the vehicle front side.
