INFORMATION PROVISION DEVICE, DISPLAY METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240239193 titled 'INFORMATION PROVISION DEVICE, DISPLAY METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIUM
The patent application describes an information provision device for vehicles that includes an information display screen and a control device to manage the displayed content. The control device can detect the vehicle's positional relationship with objects in the rear based on surrounding data and the driver's line-of-sight direction. When the driver is using a rear check device, the control device displays rear region information on the screen.
