Cockpit display system

Abstract

This disclosure presents a cockpit display system suitable for installation within a cockpit. The cockpit display system includes a transparent display and a control unit. The transparent display is mounted on the steering wheel of the cockpit. The control unit determines the driving situation, decides on the information to display based on the driving situation, and provides the display information to the transparent display.

Claims

1. A cockpit display system suitable for installation in a cabin, the cockpit display system comprising: a display disposed in front of a driver's seat in the cabin for displaying first information; a transparent display disposed on a steering wheel in the cabin for displaying second information, wherein the projection of the transparent display on a vertical plane overlaps with a portion of the projection of the display on the vertical plane, and the first information is associated with the second information; and a control unit electrically connected to the transparent display for determining a driving situation, determining display information based on the driving situation, and providing the display information to the transparent display, wherein the transparent display includes a first display area, a second display area, and a third display area, wherein the second display area is located between the first display area and the third display area, wherein in a second situation, the control unit controls the first display area to display navigation information, controls the second display area to display static information, and controls the third display area to display a shortcut key, wherein the first information includes complete navigation information, the complete navigation information being different from the navigation information displayed in the first display area.

2. The cockpit display system as described in claim 1, further comprising: A weight sensor is installed in a driver's seat in the cockpit, wherein the control unit determines that the driving situation belongs to a first situation based on a value captured by the weight sensor and a message from a mobile device, and sets the display information to include a welcome message.

3. The cockpit display system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the control unit is further configured to identify a user of the mobile device and, based on the user, determine the welcome information.

4. The cockpit display system as described in claim 1, further comprising: An auxiliary display is disposed on the steering wheel, wherein an extension of a pivot of the steering wheel passes through the transparent display, and the extension of the pivot does not pass through the auxiliary display.

5. The cockpit display system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the control unit is configured to detect a touch operation on the auxiliary display to enter an assisted driving mode, determine that the driving situation belongs to the second situation based on the assisted driving mode, and set the display information to include a driving information.

6. The cockpit display system as claimed in claim 5, wherein when the control unit enters an autonomous driving mode based on the touch operation, the control unit determines that the driving situation belongs to a third situation and sets the display information to include dynamic information.

7. The cockpit display system of claim 4, wherein the auxiliary display includes a flexible display, and the cockpit display system further includes: A deformation module is disposed below the flexible display and electrically connected to the control unit; And a vibration element, disposed below the flexible display and electrically connected to the control unit.

8. The cockpit display system as claimed in claim 7, wherein in response to a first touch operation on the flexible display, the control unit enables the deformation module to switch from a first state to a second state, wherein in response to a function corresponding to the first touch operation being activated, the control unit enables the vibration element to provide vibration feedback, wherein in response to the end of the first touch operation, the control unit controls the deformation module to switch from the second state to the first state.

9. The cockpit display system as described in claim 4, further comprising: A driver monitoring module is used to detect a driver's fatigue level, wherein the control unit generates a warning message based on the fatigue level and provides the warning message to the transparent display or the auxiliary display.
