Problems solved by technology

[0007] Although the virtual mirror device is designed to simulate a conventional mirror as much as possible, it is difficult for the display unit to be aesthetically integrated into the passenger compartment of the vehicle, and the screen of the display unit is generally flat and has a curvature different from that of a conventional rearview mirror Outline Rectangular Outline
Due to the rectangular profile, the driver may be disturbed or distracted by irrelevant parts of the scene shown on the screen, which are not visible on conventional rear view mirrors due to their curved profile

Embodiment Construction

[0063] figure 1 An internal partial view of a passenger compartment of a vehicle according to the prior art is shown. The vehicle has a front left door 10 with an inner surface 1 at least partially configured as a Type A surface, ie a smooth surface without any fold lines therein, and an external conventional rear view mirror 11 . The inner surface 1 comprises a variety of materials such as fabric, leather, scratched metal and glass.

[0064] figure 2 shown marked by II figure 2 Enlarged view of the details. This detail shows the conventional rear view mirror 11 on the outside. The external conventional rearview mirror 11 generally has a mirror housing that is foldable relative to the door 10 and a reflective panel that is pivotally supported by the mirror housing. The reflective plate has a substantially flat section adjacent to the door 10 for providing an image of the scene behind the vehicle substantially without any distortion, and an aspheric section away from the...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for providing a rear view and / or a side view of a vehicle, comprising the steps of generating a video stream of images (3) subsequently captured by at least one camera(20) of the vehicle; processing the generated video stream; displaying the generated video stream on at least one screen (23) of a display unit (22) of the vehicle, where the processing comprises inserting a partial overlay (30) into each image (3) of the video stream for visually simulating a predetermined surface to match it with a surface surrounding the screen (23), where the inserted partialoverlay (30) simulates an inner surface (1) of the vehicle, the inner surface (1) of the vehicle is configured as a class A surface and has a screen (23) smoothly integrated therein for providing a rear view field and / or a side view field. The present invention can improve the appearance of a display unit of a virtual mirror device and reduce any disturbance to a vehicle driver or distraction tothe attention of the vehicle driver when using the virtual mirror device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of providing a rear view and / or a side view of a vehicle. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a virtual mirror device for a vehicle, an interior surface for a vehicle and a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Conventional rearview mirrors will gradually be replaced by virtual rearview mirrors. This substitution will be further developed as the use of electric vehicles increases. [0003] The virtual rearview mirror is configured to provide a rear view and / or a side view of the vehicle, and has a camera mounted on the outside of the door and an interior display unit mounted on the inside of the door. Both the camera and the display unit are connected to the image processing unit. The image processing unit receives a video stream from the camera, which is generated from the image after it is captured by the camera. After processing the video stream, the image processing unit transmits the process...
