[0019] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating the configuration of a display device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0020] The display device 100 of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented inside a vehicle. In this case, the display device 100 can be integrally formed with the vehicle's internal control unit, or it can be implemented as a separate device and connected to the vehicle's control unit via a separate connection device. In this case, the display device 100 can operate in connection with the vehicle's engine and motor, and can also operate in connection with the control unit that controls the operation of the engine and motor.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 The vehicle display device 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure may include a sensor device 110, a control module 120, and an information display 130. Accordingly, the control module 120 of the vehicle display device 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented as at least one processor.

[0022] Sensor device 110 may include means and sensors for detecting objects located outside the vehicle to obtain driving safety information. These objects can be various objects related to vehicle movement. For example, the object may include a lane, another vehicle, a pedestrian, a two-wheeled vehicle, a traffic signal, light, a road, a building, a speed bump, terrain, an animal, etc.

[0023] A lane can be a driving lane, a lane adjacent to a driving lane, or a lane for oncoming vehicles. A lane can also include the left and right lanes that form a lane.

[0024] The other vehicle can be a vehicle traveling around the vehicle. The other vehicle can be a vehicle within a predetermined distance of the vehicle. For example, the other vehicle can be a vehicle in front of or behind the vehicle.

[0025] Pedestrians can be people located around a vehicle. Pedestrians can also be people within a predetermined distance of a vehicle. For example, pedestrians can be people located on a sidewalk or road.

[0026] A two-wheeled vehicle can be a vehicle located around a vehicle and moving using two wheels. A two-wheeled vehicle can be a vehicle with two wheels located at a predetermined distance from a vehicle. For example, a two-wheeled vehicle can include a motorcycle or bicycle located on a sidewalk or road.

[0027] Traffic signals can include traffic lights, traffic signs, patterns or text painted on the road surface.

[0028] Light can be the light produced by a lamp installed in another vehicle. Light can be the light produced by a street lamp. Light can be sunlight.

[0029] Roads can include road surfaces, curves, and slopes such as uphill and downhill sections.

[0030] A structure can be an object located around a road and fixed to the ground. For example, structures can include streetlights, street trees, buildings, utility poles, traffic lights, bridges, etc.

[0031] Terrain can include mountains, hills, etc.

[0032] In one example, objects can be categorized into moving objects and stationary objects. For instance, moving objects could include concepts such as another vehicle, a two-wheeled vehicle, a pedestrian, etc. Stationary objects could include concepts such as traffic signals, roads, buildings, etc.

[0033] The sensor device 110 may include a camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, etc.

[0034] Cameras are used to acquire external images of the vehicle to identify objects, light, and people around the vehicle, and can be implemented as multiple cameras connected in parallel with each other. For example, cameras may include mono cameras, stereo cameras, surround view monitor (AVM) cameras, and 360-degree cameras. In one example, cameras may be positioned appropriately within the vehicle to acquire images of its exterior. For example, cameras may be positioned around at least one of the vehicle's windshield, front bumper, and radiator grille to acquire images of the area in front of the vehicle. Cameras may be positioned around at least one of the rear window, rear bumper, trunk, and tailgate to acquire images of the area behind the vehicle. Cameras may be positioned around at least one of the vehicle's side windows, side mirrors, fenders, and doors to acquire images of the areas to the sides of the vehicle. The acquired images can be provided to control module 120.

[0035] Radar can detect objects using electromagnetic waves based on either time-of-flight (TOF) or phase-shift methods, and can detect the position, distance, and relative velocity of the detected object. Radar can be positioned appropriately outside a vehicle to sense objects in its vicinity.

[0036] LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) can detect objects using laser light as a medium, based on either a time-of-flight (TOF) or phase-shifting method. It can detect the position of the detected object, its distance, and its relative velocity. LiDAR can be positioned appropriately outside a vehicle to sense objects around it.

[0037] An ultrasonic sensor is a sensor that generates ultrasonic waves to detect distance, thickness, motion, etc. It can also detect objects and detect the position, distance, and relative speed of the detected objects.

[0038] Infrared sensors can emit and receive infrared light to detect objects and determine the position, distance, and relative speed of the detected objects.

[0039] The sensor device 110 may include cameras, radar, lidar, ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, etc. for detecting objects outside the vehicle, and the detection results of each component of the sensor device 110 may be provided to the control module 120.

[0040] The control module 120 can control the operation of the camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, etc., constituting the sensor device 110. Furthermore, the control module 120 can receive sensing information from the camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonic sensor, and infrared sensor to detect and read objects outside the vehicle, sense hazards based on the vehicle's direction of travel, and visually display the sensed hazards to the vehicle's passengers via the information display 130. In this way, the controller 120 can select and display the avoidance priority of the detected and read objects, and can display hazards based on the direction of travel. For example, the control module 120 can match the avoidance priority selected based on the read information of objects outside the vehicle with each object, and can provide the objects matching the avoidance priority as visual information to the passengers via the information display 130.

[0041] Furthermore, the control module 120 can detect and read objects around the vehicle to set a safe path based on the vehicle's driving direction, and can visually display the set safe path through the information display 130. For example, the control module 120 can read objects detected around the vehicle, and when the read object is a collision avoidance target, it sets the vehicle's driving direction based on the collision avoidance direction setting, and can visually display the set driving direction as a safe path through the information display 130. Thus, collision avoidance targets can include those based on information about the position, relative speed, approach distance, and yaw rate behavior of the counter vehicle, such as speeding vehicles, fatigued drivers, and other collision avoidance targets that violate driving safety.

[0042] The control module 120 can continuously track the detected objects and provide the continuously tracked objects as continuous visual information to the passenger through the information display 130.

[0043] An example of the operation of the control module 120 in selecting the avoidance priority for detected objects is disclosed below.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control module 120 of the display device can select pedestrians reflected in the vehicle's travel trajectory as having the highest avoidance priority. Furthermore, the control module 120 can highlight the selected object as having the highest avoidance priority to distinguish it from other objects, and allows the highlighted object to be displayed on the information display 130. For example, the control module 120 can display the selected object as having the highest avoidance priority in a highlighted color (e.g., red), and display warning signs such as letters, images, symbols, etc., on the information display 130 at a position adjacent to the selected object as having the highest avoidance priority.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control module 120 of the display device can select a two-wheeled vehicle carrying a user as a second avoidance priority, which is reflected in the vehicle's driving trajectory, and display the two-wheeled vehicle on the information display 130. For example, the control module 120 can display the object selected as the second avoidance priority in blue on the information display 130.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the control module 120 of the display device can select an opposing vehicle reflected in the vehicle's driving trajectory as a third avoidance priority and display the opposing vehicle on the information display 130. For example, the control module 120 can display the object selected as the third avoidance priority in yellow on the information display 130.

[0047] In addition, the control module 120 can manage large trucks and vehicles suspected of speeding or fatigue driving separately based on the level of danger reflected in the vehicle's driving trajectory. For example, the control module 120 can select a large truck as the second priority object to avoid, and select an object that may cause an accident, such as a vehicle suspected of speeding or fatigue driving, as the first priority object to avoid, i.e., the highest priority object to avoid.

[0048] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the control module 120 of the display device can display or not display detected objects on the information display 130 based on passenger switching operations. In one example, when an object is not displayed on the information display 130 via passenger switching operations, the control module 120 can display the detected object on the information display 130 if the avoidance priority of the detected object is equal to or higher than a preset avoidance priority. Additionally, when the vehicle is traveling in a hazardous area such as an accident-prone area, the control module 120 can display the detected object on the information display 130. Thus, the control module 120 can combine navigation or GPS to determine if the vehicle is traveling in a hazardous area.

[0049] Information display 130 may include a transparent display, projector, or head-up display (HUD) type information display device displayed on the vehicle glass. Vehicle glass may include a windshield, sunroof, doors, windows, rear window, interior mirror, exterior mirror, etc.

[0050] Figure 2 This shows the application. Figure 1 A diagram showing the exterior of the vehicle with the sensor device. Figure 2 The exterior of a vehicle equipped with sensor devices 110, such as cameras, lidar, and radar, capable of sensing the area around the vehicle, has been disclosed. Figure 2 This is merely an example and does not limit the location of each component of the sensor device 110.

[0051] The camera may include a front-facing camera capable of capturing the area in front of the vehicle, a rear-facing camera capable of capturing the area behind the vehicle, and a side-facing camera capable of capturing the sides of the vehicle. In this regard, at least one of the front-facing, rear-facing, and side-facing cameras may include multiple cameras connected in parallel with each other. In one embodiment, the front-facing camera for capturing the area in front of the vehicle may include multiple cameras connected in parallel with each other. The camera can identify objects, light, and people around the vehicle.

[0052] LiDAR can be used to identify components around a vehicle using laser light within a 360-degree angular range. A LiDAR that senses the area around a vehicle within a 360-degree angular range can be called a 360-degree LiDAR. Furthermore, although... Figure 2 This demonstrates a 360-degree lidar system capable of identifying the area around a vehicle within a 360-degree angular range. However, it is also possible to install lidar systems on the vehicle capable of identifying each area in front of and behind the vehicle, as well as each area on the left and right sides of the vehicle. Figure 2 In this system, LiDAR and cameras can be positioned at locations that allow for good identification of vehicles around the vehicle, such as the highest point of the vehicle (the roof).

[0053] Radar uses electromagnetic waves to identify obstacles near a vehicle. Each radar can be positioned at each of the front and rear sections of the vehicle to identify vehicles in front of the vehicle, vehicles behind the vehicle, and nearby obstacles. For example, each radar can be positioned on each of the front and rear bumpers of the vehicle.

[0054] Additionally, the vehicle may include a Global Positioning System (GPS) and a main computer. The GPS receiver, one of the components comprising the GPS, may be mounted on the roof. The main computer may be located in the vehicle's trunk, and may include a control module according to embodiments of this disclosure. Recently, there has been an increasing development of vehicles, such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for autonomous driving, which include a main computer capable of determining the current state of the vehicle based on sensor detection results for the safety and convenience of vehicle passengers.

[0055] Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an information display included in a display device of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 This is a conceptual diagram illustrating the operation of an augmented reality image displayed through a windshield by an information display 130. Further, it is assumed that the information display 130 is a head-up display (HUD).

[0056] The control module 120 can be connected to the sensor device 110 to generate image data for forming augmented reality images based on the sensing results of cameras, radar, lidar, ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, etc., and provide the generated image data to the information display 130.

[0057] Under the control of the control module 120, the information display 130 can project light onto the windshield to display augmented reality images.

[0058] For example, the control module 120 can detect objects present in front of the vehicle based on the forward image provided by the camera of the sensor device 110, and provide image data for forming an augmented reality image corresponding to the detected object to the information display 130.

[0059] Augmented reality images can thus be achieved using display light projected onto the windshield. Furthermore, the driver may see the augmented reality image displayed outside the display area of ​​an object (e.g., a vehicle), rather than within the windshield's display area. For example, the augmented reality image could be a graphic object providing information about the object's outline and speed, a collision warning, or similar information.

[0060] exist Figure 3 The function of the information display 130 has already been described using the example of the information display 130 as a HUD. However, when the information display 130 is a projector, similar to a HUD, the projector can provide augmented reality images to the driver by projecting display light onto the windshield. Furthermore, when the information display 130 is a transparent display, unlike HUDs and projectors that project display light onto the windshield, the augmented reality image can be directly displayed on the windshield.

[0061] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating the operation flow of a display device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 The operation of the display device for a vehicle capable of autonomous driving is shown, and this operation can be the same as the operation of the display device for a vehicle equipped with an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). Therefore, the step of determining autonomous driving (S11) can be equivalent to the step of activating the Advanced Driver Assistance System.

[0062] The step of determining autonomous driving (S11) may include determining whether the vehicle is performing autonomous driving operations. The control module 120 can determine whether the vehicle is driving autonomously.

[0063] The step (S12) of detecting objects in the sensing area may include detecting objects around the vehicle by operating the sensor device 110. The sensor device 110 according to embodiments of this disclosure may include a camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, etc. Furthermore, the sensing results acquired by the camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, etc., may be transmitted to the control module 120. The control module 120 may detect objects around the vehicle based on the sensing results.

[0064] The step of tracking an object (S13) may include tracking the object until the object detected in the detection sensing area (S12) is located outside the sensing area. The control module 120 may track the detected object until, based on the sensing results of the camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor, etc., the detected object moves away from the vehicle by more than a preset distance.

[0065] The step (S14) of selecting a hazard level based on tracking information may include: reading objects detected around the vehicle, and selecting an avoidance priority for an object when the read object is an object to be avoided. For example, in the step (S14) of selecting a hazard level based on tracking information, an object read as a pedestrian may be selected as a first avoidance priority (Lv1), a two-wheeled vehicle with a user may be selected as a second avoidance priority (Lv2), and other vehicles around the vehicle may be selected as a third avoidance priority (Lv3). Thereby, by applying a weight value (K = Lv weight value), an object sensed as dangerous among the objects of the third avoidance priority may be selected as a second avoidance priority, and an object that may cause an accident may be selected as a first avoidance priority by applying a weight value (K = Lv).

[0066] The step of setting a driving path based on the hazard level (S15) may include setting the driving direction of the vehicle according to the avoidance direction setting based on the object avoidance priority selected in the step of selecting the hazard level based on the tracking information (S14), where the avoidance priority is the avoidance priority of the object selected in the step of selecting the hazard level based on the tracking information (S14).

[0067] The step (S16) of setting a tracking priority and setting a zone based on the hazard level of each object may include setting the tracking priority based on the avoidance priority assigned to each object. Further, the step of setting a tracking priority and setting a zone based on the hazard level of each object may include setting a hazard zone, and automatically displaying the detected object on the information display 130 when the vehicle enters the hazard zone. In this regard, the control module 120 may be connected to a navigation or GPS system to determine whether the vehicle is traveling in a hazard zone.

[0068] The step of masking hazards based on autonomous driving judgment (S17) may include matching different indications to objects based on the avoidance priority of the detected objects. For example, objects with the first avoidance priority may be displayed in red, objects with the second avoidance priority in blue, and objects with the third avoidance priority in yellow.

[0069] The step of determining whether to display object tracking (S18) may include: providing the passenger with the tracking result of the detected object as continuous visual information via the information display 130 based on the passenger's switch operation, or continuously performing object detection and tracking without providing the tracking result as visual information to the passenger. For example, in the step of determining whether to display object tracking (S18), if it is determined that the passenger's switch operation result is receiving the tracking result of the detected object as visual information (Yes), the step of continuously displaying object tracking (S19) may be performed. On the other hand, in the step of determining whether to display object tracking (S18), if it is determined that the passenger's operation result is not receiving the tracking result of the detected object as visual information (No), tracking may be performed continuously but object tracking may not be displayed (S20). Thus, in the step of determining whether to display object tracking (S18), even if it is determined that the passenger's operation result is not receiving the tracking result of the object as visual information, and when the vehicle enters or travels to the danger zone set in the step of setting a tracking priority and setting an area for the danger level of each object (S16), the step of continuously displaying object tracking (S19) may be automatically performed.

[0070] The step of continuously displaying object tracking (S19) may include providing the tracking results of the detected objects as continuous visual information to the customer via the information display 130.

[0071] The step of continuously performing tracking but not displaying object tracking (S20) may include continuously performing object detection and tracking, but not displaying the tracking results as visual information to the passenger.

[0072] Figure 5 Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating the operation of a display device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 Figure 6 illustrates a display device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure applied to the windshield of the vehicle. The windshield may be a transparent display. Alternatively, the display light from a HUD or projector may be projected onto the windshield.

[0073] Figure 5 A display device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure displays objects based on avoidance priority. Thus, in the display device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, each detected object can be displayed in a rectangular shape surrounding each object.

[0074] When the detected object is determined to be pedestrian A, the detected object can be selected as the highest avoidance priority, i.e., the first avoidance priority. The rectangle surrounding pedestrian A can be displayed in red.

[0075] When it is determined that the detected object is a two-wheeled vehicle B being ridden by a user, the detected object can be selected as the second priority for avoidance. The rectangle surrounding the user and the two-wheeled vehicle can be displayed in blue.

[0076] When the detected object is determined to be another vehicle C, it can be selected as the third priority for avoidance. The rectangle surrounding the other vehicle can be displayed in yellow.

[0077] Figure 6A and 6B This illustrates a scenario where the avoidance priority of one of the detected objects is changed by applying weight values.

[0078] Figure 6A This is a view showing objects detected by the moving vehicle, illustrating the first through fourth opposing vehicles A, B, C, and D. In this context, the third avoidance priority Lv3 can be applied to all of the first through fourth opposing vehicles A, B, C, and D, so objects matching the first through fourth opposing vehicles A, B, C, and D can be displayed in yellow.

[0079] However, when the danger of the second opposing vehicle B is sensed, such as Figure 6B As shown, an alert can be displayed and a weight value can be applied to the second opposing vehicle B. Therefore, the avoidance priority of the second opposing vehicle B can be increased from the third avoidance priority to the second avoidance priority, and the second opposing vehicle B can be displayed in blue. Additionally, a safe driving path E based on the applied avoidance priority can be displayed. In the case of an autonomous vehicle, the steering and acceleration of the autonomous vehicle are controlled based on the path displayed as the safe driving path E, allowing the autonomous vehicle to further distance itself from the vehicle with the increased avoidance priority.

[0080] As described above, the vehicle display device according to embodiments of the present disclosure can provide passengers with psychological relaxation by providing the sensing results of environmental hazards of the vehicle as continuous visual information.
