VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320883 titled 'VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract describes a vehicle display control device that superimposes an image on a display region to show inter-vehicle marker objects between a host vehicle and a preceding vehicle.
- The processor controls a vehicle display device to display an image with marker objects moving from the host vehicle side towards the preceding vehicle side.
- When a preceding vehicle is detected in front of the host vehicle, the marker objects are displayed sequentially to emphasize the distance between the vehicles.
Potential Applications:
- Enhancing driver awareness of surrounding vehicles on the road.
- Improving safety by providing visual cues of inter-vehicle distances.
Problems Solved:
- Addressing the need for better visualization of inter-vehicle spacing.
- Increasing driver confidence in traffic situations.
Benefits:
- Enhanced safety on the road.
- Improved driver decision-making based on visual cues.
Commercial Applications:
- Automotive industry for vehicle safety systems.
- Fleet management companies for monitoring inter-vehicle distances.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the device differentiate between different types of vehicles on the road? 2. What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy of the displayed inter-vehicle marker objects?
Frequently Updated Research: Research on advanced image recognition technologies for more precise detection of vehicles on the road.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle display control device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. the vehicle display control device is configured such that the processor controls a vehicle display device for displaying an image on a display region so as to be superimposed on a portion of a view ahead of a vehicle. the processor is configured so as to detect a preceding vehicle traveling at a vehicle front side of a host vehicle, and in cases in which the preceding vehicle has been detected, causes an image that includes a plurality of inter-vehicle marker objects from the host vehicle side toward the preceding vehicle side to be displayed in the display region, and causes sequential emphasis display of the plurality of inter-vehicle marker objects in sequence from the host vehicle side toward the preceding vehicle side.
