Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular relates to an information display method, a vehicle, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] During driving, vehicles must maintain a certain distance from each other to reduce traffic accidents caused by emergency braking. However, novice drivers and drunk drivers often have a blurred awareness of driving distance and cannot quickly perceive and adjust their driving distance accordingly.

[0003] Existing dashcams and smart device dashcam applications (APPs / Apps / apps) can only be used to capture and record road condition information during vehicle operation. Their functions are limited and they can only provide a small amount of reference information.

[0004] Thus, in narrow and complex road conditions such as underground tunnels, busy urban areas, and mountain roads, drivers with poor awareness of following distance are prone to scrapes and collisions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, this application provides an information display method, a vehicle, an electronic device, and a storage medium to solve the technical problem that drivers with poor awareness of following distance are prone to scrapes and collisions in narrow and complex road conditions.

[0006] One object of this application is to provide an information display method, the method comprising the following steps:

[0007] Obtain the orientation of obstacles around the vehicle relative to the vehicle, and the distance between the obstacles and the vehicle;

[0008] The indicator is displayed in a first display style; the indicator is used to represent the direction and the distance.

[0009] When the distance is in a continuously shrinking state, the display style of the indicator of the continuously shrinking state is changed from the first display style to the second display style to remind the user to pay attention to the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle.

[0010] Another object of this application is to provide a vehicle, including sensors and a controller disposed on the vehicle.

[0011] The sensor is used to collect object parameters of obstacles in the environment in which the vehicle is located that affect the vehicle's movement;

[0012] The controller is configured to obtain the orientation of obstacles around the vehicle relative to the vehicle, and the distance between the obstacles and the vehicle, based on the object parameters; to display a constantly lit indicator to indicate the orientation and the distance; and to change the continuously shrinking indicator to a flashing display when the distance is in a continuously shrinking state, so as to remind the user to pay attention to the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle.

[0013] Another object of this application is to provide an electronic device, including a processor, a memory, and computer instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer instructions, when executed by the processor, implement the above-described audio playback method.

[0014] Another object of this application is to provide a readable storage medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement the above-described audio playback method.

[0015] This application provides an information display method, a vehicle, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. Its advantage lies in that, by acquiring the orientation of obstacles around the vehicle relative to the vehicle, and the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle, an indicator representing the orientation and distance of the obstacle relative to the vehicle can be displayed in a first display style. Then, when the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is in a continuously decreasing state, the display style of the continuously decreasing indicator can be changed from the first display style to a second display style, thus timely reminding the user to pay attention to the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle to avoid scraping or colliding with the vehicle.

[0016] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of this application. In order to better understand the technical means of this application and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this application more obvious and understandable, specific embodiments of this application are given below.

[0026] Exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0027] Currently, when driving, novice or inexperienced drivers often find it difficult to accurately judge the precise distances and safe speeds of surrounding vehicles simply by visually inspecting the road ahead and rearview mirrors. This is especially true in narrow and complex road conditions such as underground areas, busy urban areas, and mountain roads, which can easily lead to the danger of scrapes and collisions.

[0028] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes an information display method, vehicle, electronic device, and storage medium. By utilizing head-up display (HUD) technology, novice drivers can observe the direction and distance of surrounding vehicles or obstacles in real time by looking up at the vehicle's windshield while driving, automatically determining whether the current vehicle speed is within a safe range, and assisting novice drivers in safely avoiding unnecessary trouble.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of an information display method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method includes the following steps:

[0030] Step 101: Obtain the orientation of obstacles around the vehicle relative to the vehicle, and the distance between the obstacles and the vehicle.

[0031] In this embodiment, the obstacle can be an object that affects the vehicle's movement, and its direction can be relative to the vehicle's direction of travel or relative to the north direction on the subway, such as: east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, north, and / or northeast. Alternatively, the direction indicator can be divided into eight directions: front, rear, left, right, left front, left rear, right front, and right rear, presented in a transparent arrow shape. This embodiment can install a 360-degree panoramic image on the vehicle, and then the surrounding situation can be viewed intuitively by turning on the panoramic image. The top-down view is more convenient. Directional control is suitable for scenarios where vehicle speed is extremely slow and roads are narrow, such as parking. However, the image viewing range is small, there is no speed change hazard warning, and it is usually displayed on the central control screen, which is not as intuitive and convenient as displaying it on the windshield. In addition, many car manufacturers cannot activate the image after the vehicle reaches a certain speed, making the setup relatively troublesome. The embodiments of this application can also use sensors installed on the outside of the vehicle to identify the distance of surrounding obstacles. When the vehicle and the obstacle are within the system's set prompt range, the system will project the direction and distance of the obstacle and the vehicle onto the windshield in front of the driver's seat. The specific projection can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0032] In this embodiment of the application, when the vehicle controller detects that an obstacle is within the warning range, it can obtain in real time the direction of the obstacle relative to the vehicle and the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle.

[0033] For example, such as Figure 2As shown, sensors can be installed around the vehicle to sense and collect distance values ​​between obstacles and the vehicle. These sensors can be infrared sensors or ultrasonic rangefinders, depending on the specific needs. The sensor installation locations can include: the front left, front center, and front right of the vehicle; the lower left and lower right sides of the vehicle's center; and the rear left, rear center, and rear right. In this case, the sensors can include: a front left sensor, a front center sensor, a front right sensor, a center left sensor, a center right sensor, a rear left sensor, a rear center sensor, and a rear right sensor. The front left sensor is located at the lower left of the vehicle's front, the front center sensor is located at the lower center of the vehicle's front, the front right sensor is located at the lower right of the vehicle's front, and the center left sensor is located at the lower center of the left side of the vehicle's body. The right center sensor is located at the lower center of the right side of the vehicle body, the left rear sensor is located at the lower left rear of the vehicle body, the front rear sensor is located at the lower right rear of the vehicle body, and the right rear sensor is located at the lower right rear of the vehicle body. The sensors are independent of each other, and each sensor is used as an independent unit for data collection and calculation. When the vehicle controller detects an obstacle within the warning range through these sensors, it can obtain the direction of the obstacle relative to the vehicle in real time (for example, when the front rear sensor detects an obstacle within the warning range, the direction of the obstacle relative to the vehicle can be directly behind the vehicle), as well as the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle (for example, 10 meters).

[0034] Step 102: Display the indicator in the first display style.

[0035] In this embodiment of the application, the indicator is used to represent the direction and distance of the obstacle relative to the vehicle, such as... Figure 3-6 As shown, the indicator can be a directional arrow or an obstacle icon (vehicle obstacle icon, person obstacle icon, wall obstacle icon, trash can obstacle icon, etc.); the first display style can be a directional arrow representing the direction of the obstacle relative to the vehicle, combined with a numerical value representing the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle. The display color, display size, and display format (such as font, font style, effect, line style, transparency, etc.) of the directional arrow and the distance value can also be changed according to the distance. The specific details can be determined according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0036] In this embodiment of the application, the vehicle controller can display an indicator in a first display style on the windshield of the vehicle.

[0037] For example, see Figure 3-6As shown, a vehicle can be equipped with a HUD control projection unit, which supports the function of projecting indicators onto the windshield of the vehicle. When an obstacle enters the warning range, the distance data collected by the sensor is transmitted to the HUD control projection unit, and the distance data is projected onto the corresponding position of the windshield in a first display style according to different sensor information.

[0038] Step 103: When the distance change state is in a continuously shrinking state, change the display style of the continuously shrinking state indicator from the first display style to the second display style to remind the user to pay attention to the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle.

[0039] In the embodiments of this application, the change in distance can be a continuously shrinking state, a continuously increasing state, a state of first increasing and then shrinking, a state of first shrinking and then increasing, a state of constant distance, a state of increasing distance, or a state where the obstacle disappears, etc. The specific state can be determined according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0040] In the embodiments of this application, the second display style may be different from the first display style in at least one of the display color, display size, and display format of the indicator. The specific style can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0041] In this embodiment of the application, when the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is in a continuously decreasing state, the vehicle controller changes the display style of the indicator corresponding to the continuously decreasing distance from the first display style to the second display style to remind the user to pay attention to the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle.

[0042] For example, see Figure 3-6 As shown, a HUD control projection unit can be equipped on the vehicle to project alert information onto the windshield. Then, by analyzing distance data collected by each sensor, changes in distance are determined, and it is calculated whether the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is continuously decreasing. When the distance is continuously decreasing, the corresponding directional arrow displayed on the windshield will flash until the distance to the obstacle increases or the obstacle disappears. The cached information generated during this process can be cleared after the alert event is resolved.

[0043] This application provides an information display method that, by acquiring the orientation of obstacles around a vehicle relative to the vehicle and the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle, can display an indicator representing the orientation and distance of the obstacle relative to the vehicle in a first display style. Then, when the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is in a continuously decreasing state, the display style of the continuously decreasing indicator can be changed from the first display style to a second display style to promptly remind the user to pay attention to the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, so as to avoid the vehicle being scratched or collided.

[0044] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of an information display method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method includes the following steps:

[0045] Step 201: When the obstacle is within the prompt range, obtain the orientation of the obstacle around the vehicle relative to the vehicle, as well as the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle.

[0046] In this embodiment of the application, the prompt range can be a value set by the user based on actual adjustment experience, such as less than or equal to 15 meters, or it can be a system default value, such as less than or equal to 12 meters. The specific range can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0047] In this embodiment of the application, when the vehicle controller detects that the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is less than or equal to the prompt distance threshold, it can determine that the obstacle is within the preset prompt range. At this time, the direction of the obstacle around the vehicle relative to the vehicle and the distance value between the obstacle and the vehicle can be obtained in real time.

[0048] For example, the distance between the vehicle and obstacles affecting the vehicle's movement can be sensed in real time by infrared sensors on the vehicle. When the distance is less than or equal to the prompt distance threshold, it can be determined that the obstacle is within the preset prompt range. At this time, the direction of the obstacles around the vehicle relative to the vehicle and the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle can be obtained in real time by the sensor. The collected distance data can be temporarily recorded and stored in the vehicle's local memory or server.

[0049] This application embodiment obtains the direction of the obstacles around the vehicle relative to the vehicle, as well as the distance between the obstacles and the vehicle, only when the obstacles are within the warning range. This simplifies the processing steps and improves processing efficiency.

[0050] Step 202: When multiple indicator signs exist, determine the reference direction.

[0051] In this embodiment of the application, the reference direction can be the vehicle's driving direction, or it can be east, south, west, or north on an electronic map. The reference direction can be a direction set by the user based on actual adjustment experience, such as the vehicle's driving direction, or it can be the system's default direction, such as north on an electronic map. The specific direction can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0052] In this embodiment of the application, when there are multiple indicator signs, the reference direction can be determined by the vehicle's driving direction.

[0053] For example, see Figure 3-6 As shown, when there are multiple indicator signs, the reference direction can be determined by the vehicle's driving direction. Then, multiple directional arrows pointing in different directions and distance values ​​can be displayed on the vehicle's windshield in a first display style.

[0054] Step 203: Obtain the relative direction of the obstacle to the vehicle based on the reference direction.

[0055] In this embodiment, the relative direction is determined based on the reference direction and the direction of the obstacle relative to the vehicle. The specific direction can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0056] In this embodiment of the application, the vehicle controller obtains the relative direction of the obstacle affecting the vehicle's movement relative to the vehicle's movement direction based on the reference direction of the vehicle's driving direction.

[0057] For example, see Figure 3-6 As shown, the vehicle's driving direction is determined as the reference direction, and the vehicle controller obtains the relative direction of obstacles affecting the vehicle's driving direction relative to the vehicle's driving direction.

[0058] Step 204: Display the indicator in the first display style.

[0059] This step can be referred to in the detailed description of step 102, and will not be repeated here.

[0060] This application embodiment determines a reference direction, obtains the relative direction of the obstacle with respect to the vehicle based on the reference direction, and then displays an indicator on the windshield of the vehicle in a first display style. This allows the user to look up at the windshield to understand the direction and distance of surrounding vehicles or obstacles, automatically judges whether it is safe to continue driving at the current vehicle speed, and determines the surrounding danger distance and degree of danger, thereby assisting novice drivers to safely avoid obstacles.

[0061] Step 205: Based on the distance and the distance threshold, change at least one of the display color, display size, and display format of the first display style.

[0062] In this embodiment, the distance threshold can be a value set by the user based on actual adjustment experience, such as 100 meters, or it can be a system default value, such as 50 meters. The distance threshold can include a first distance threshold, a second distance threshold, a third distance threshold, and a fourth distance threshold, where the first distance threshold is greater than the second distance threshold, the second distance threshold is greater than the third distance threshold, and the third distance threshold is greater than the fourth distance threshold. The display format can include at least one of the following: font, font style, effect, line style (line thickness, line type, etc.), transparency, etc. The specific format can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0063] In this embodiment, the vehicle controller determines a distance threshold by receiving user input data or by reading a distance threshold from a server or local storage. Then, based on the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle and the distance threshold, it changes at least one of the display color, display size, and display format of the first display style.

[0064] For example, car owners can choose to set the sensing distance range for each sensor: when an obstacle enters the set distance threshold range, the windshield will provide a real-time alert indicating the relative direction and distance of the obstacle. The furthest distance threshold range can be set to within 15 meters, and the closest distance threshold range can be set to 1 meter. To prevent external factors such as weather and temperature from affecting the sensor's sensing accuracy, the distance values ​​can be set to relatively small values. In this way, by analyzing the data collected by each sensor, changes in distance data are determined, and the directional arrow and / or the color of the distance value are changed accordingly (e.g., the smaller the distance value, the darker the color (e.g., white, yellow, orange, red from farthest to closest), and / or the smaller the distance value, the larger the directional arrow).

[0065] This application embodiment improves the user's attention and enhances the user experience by changing at least one of the display color, display size, and display format of the first display style according to the distance and distance threshold.

[0066] Optionally, step 205 may include:

[0067] Step A: When the distance is greater than or equal to the first distance threshold, change the indicator to the first color indicator.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first distance threshold can be a value set by the user based on actual adjustment experience, such as 12 meters, or it can be a system default value, such as 15 meters. The first color indicator can be a directional arrow or obstacle icon of the first color and / or a distance value of the first color, such as a white directional arrow and / or a white distance value. The specific value can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0069] In this embodiment of the application, after the vehicle controller determines the first distance threshold from the data input by the user or from the storage device, it can change the indicator to the first color indicator when the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is greater than or equal to the first distance threshold.

[0070] For example, the vehicle owner can choose to set the first distance threshold to 12 meters. When the vehicle controller receives the first distance threshold, if the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is greater than or equal to the first distance threshold of 12 meters, the indicator can be changed to a white indicator.

[0071] Step B: When the distance is less than the first distance threshold and greater than or equal to the second distance threshold, change the indicator to the second color indicator.

[0072] In this embodiment of the application, the second distance threshold can be a value set by the user based on actual adjustment experience, such as 7 meters, or it can be a system default value, such as 5 meters. The second color indicator can be a directional arrow or obstacle icon of the second color and / or a distance value of the second color, such as a yellow directional arrow and / or a yellow distance value. The specific value can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0073] In this embodiment of the application, after the vehicle controller determines the first distance threshold and the second distance threshold from the data input by the user or from the storage device, it can change the indicator to the second color indicator when the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is less than the first distance threshold and greater than or equal to the second distance threshold.

[0074] For example, the vehicle owner can choose to set a first distance threshold of 12 meters and a second distance threshold of 7 meters. When the vehicle controller receives the first distance threshold and the second distance threshold, if the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is less than the first distance threshold of 12 meters and greater than or equal to the second distance threshold of 7 meters, the indicator can be changed to a yellow indicator.

[0075] Step C: When the distance is less than the second distance threshold and greater than or equal to the third distance threshold, change the indicator to the third color indicator.

[0076] In this embodiment, the third distance threshold can be a value set by the user based on actual adjustment experience, such as 4 meters, or it can be a system default value, such as 3 meters. The third color indicator can be a directional arrow or obstacle icon of the third color and / or a distance value of the third color, such as an orange directional arrow and / or an orange distance value. The specific value can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0077] In this embodiment of the application, after the vehicle controller determines the third distance threshold and the second distance threshold from the data input by the user or from the storage device, it can change the indicator to the third color indicator when the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is less than the second distance threshold and greater than or equal to the third distance threshold.

[0078] For example, the vehicle owner can choose to set the second distance threshold to 7 meters and the third distance threshold to 4 meters. When the vehicle controller receives the third distance threshold and the second distance threshold, if the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is less than the second distance threshold of 7 meters and greater than or equal to the third distance threshold of 4 meters, the indicator can be changed to an orange indicator.

[0079] Step D: When the distance is less than the third distance threshold and greater than or equal to the fourth distance threshold, change the indicator to the fourth color indicator.

[0080] In this embodiment, the fourth distance threshold can be a value set by the user based on actual adjustment experience, such as 2 meters, or it can be a system default value, such as 1 meter. The fourth color indicator can be a directional arrow or obstacle icon of the fourth color and / or a distance value of the fourth color, such as a red directional arrow and / or a red distance value. The specific value can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0081] In this embodiment of the application, after the vehicle controller determines the third distance threshold and the fourth distance threshold from the data input by the user or from the storage device, it can change the indicator to a third four-color indicator when the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is less than the third distance threshold and greater than or equal to the fourth distance threshold.

[0082] For example, the vehicle owner can choose to set the third distance threshold to 4 meters and the fourth distance threshold to 2 meters. When the vehicle controller receives the third distance threshold and the fourth distance threshold, if the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is less than the third distance threshold of 4 meters and greater than or equal to the fourth distance threshold of 2 meters, the indicator can be changed to a red indicator.

[0083] This application embodiment changes the indicator to a first color when the distance is greater than or equal to a first distance threshold; changes the indicator to a second color when the distance is less than the first distance threshold but greater than or equal to a second distance threshold; changes the indicator to a third color when the distance is less than the second distance threshold but greater than or equal to a third distance threshold; and changes the indicator to a fourth color when the distance is less than the third distance threshold but greater than or equal to a fourth distance threshold. This can help increase the user's attention and improve the user experience.

[0084] Step 206: Receive the user's input of the reminder mode.

[0085] In this embodiment, the alert mode may include: Level 1 risk alert mode, Level 2 risk alert mode, Level 3 risk alert mode, Level 4 risk alert mode, etc. Level 1 risk alert mode is used to display each indicator, Level 2 risk alert mode is used to display the indicator of nearby obstacles, such as displaying the third color indicator and / or the fourth color indicator, Level 3 risk alert mode is used to display the indicator of the nearest obstacle, such as displaying the fourth color indicator, and Level 4 risk alert mode is used to not display any indicator. The specific mode can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0086] In this embodiment of the application, the user can select the reminder mode according to the actual travel situation, and at this time the user can receive the reminder mode input by the user.

[0087] For example, see Figure 3-6 As shown, car owners can switch between alert modes according to their actual driving situation: a. All alerts: Level 1 risk alert mode when all alerts (white, yellow, orange, and red) are enabled; b. Medium alert: Level 2 risk alert mode when only orange and red alerts are enabled; c. Level 3 risk alert mode when only red alerts are enabled; d. Level 4 risk alert mode when all alerts are disabled. The vehicle controller can then receive the alert mode input by the user. If the user panics while driving due to poor control of distance and speed from the vehicle in front, they can activate the alert mode. In this case, the user can directly see the distance and speed from the vehicle in front on the windshield. Vehicle distance and speeding alerts; when entering congested areas and needing to change lanes urgently but worried about scraping adjacent vehicles, users can activate the alert mode. The distance displayed on the windshield accurately analyzes the feasibility of the lane change, avoiding unnecessary trouble. When a vehicle next to the user suddenly changes lanes, and the level of danger is difficult to discern visually, activating the alert mode provides directional arrows and distance data, as well as color changes for the directional arrows and / or distance data, allowing for timely emergency response. New drivers often worry about scraping their side against walls when turning in underground parking lots. Activating the alert mode allows users to clearly see the distance between the vehicle and the corner of the wall, alleviating their concerns and ensuring safe travel.

[0088] Step 207: Adjust the display status of the indicator according to the reminder mode.

[0089] In this embodiment, the display state may include a constantly lit display state, a flashing display state, a no-display state, a grayed-out display state, etc., which can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0090] In this embodiment of the application, after determining the reminder mode, the vehicle controller can adjust the display status of the indicator according to the reminder mode.

[0091] For example, in the Level 1 risk alert mode where all alerts (white, yellow, orange, and red) are enabled, all indicators can be set to always be on. In the Level 2 risk alert mode where only orange and red alerts are enabled, the orange and red indicators can be set to always be on, while the white and yellow indicators are off. In the Level 3 risk alert mode where only red alerts are enabled, the red indicator can be set to always be on, while the white, yellow, and orange indicators are off. In the Level 4 risk alert mode where all alerts are disabled, all indicators can be set to off.

[0092] This application embodiment receives a reminder mode input by the user and adjusts the display status of the indicator according to the reminder mode, which can help increase the user's attention and improve the user experience.

[0093] Optionally, step 207 may include:

[0094] Step E: When the alert mode is Level 1 Risk Alert Mode, control the display of each indicator.

[0095] In this embodiment of the application, when the user can select the Level 1 Risk Alert mode according to the actual travel situation, the display status of all indicator signs can be adjusted to a constantly lit display state to control the display of each indicator sign.

[0096] For example, car owners can switch reminder modes according to their actual travel situation. When the reminder mode is set to Level 1 risk reminder mode, they can adjust the display status of all indicators to always be on to control the display of each indicator.

[0097] Step F: When the alert mode is the Level 2 Risk Alert Mode, control the display of the third color indicator and / or the fourth color indicator, and do not display the first color indicator and / or the second color indicator.

[0098] In this embodiment of the application, when the user can select the Level 2 Risk Warning Mode according to the actual travel situation, the display status of the third color indicator and the fourth color indicator can be adjusted to a always-on display status, and the display status of the first color indicator and the second color indicator can be adjusted to a non-display status, so as to control the display of the third color indicator and / or the fourth color indicator, and the non-display of the first color indicator and / or the second color indicator.

[0099] For example, car owners can switch reminder modes according to their actual travel situation. When the reminder mode is the Level 1 risk reminder mode, they can adjust the display status of the orange and red indicator signs to always be on, and the display status of the white and yellow indicator signs to be off, so as to control the display of orange and / or red indicator signs and not display white and / or yellow indicator signs.

[0100] Step G: When the alert mode is the Level 3 Risk Alert Mode, control the display of the fourth color indicator, and do not display the first color indicator, the second color indicator, and / or the third color indicator.

[0101] In this embodiment of the application, when the user can select the Level 2 Risk Alert mode according to the actual travel situation, the display status of the fourth color indicator can be adjusted to a always-on display status, and the display status of the third color indicator, the first color indicator, and the second color indicator can be adjusted to a non-display status, so as to control the display of the fourth color indicator and the non-display of the first color indicator, the second color indicator, and / or the third color indicator.

[0102] For example, car owners can switch reminder modes according to their actual travel situation. When the reminder mode is the Level 1 risk reminder mode, the red indicator can be set to always on, while the white, yellow, and orange indicators can be set to off. This controls the display of the red indicator and prevents the orange and / or white and / or yellow indicators from being displayed.

[0103] Step H: When the alert mode is the Level 4 risk alert mode, control the display of each indicator.

[0104] In this embodiment of the application, when the user can select the Level 4 risk alert mode according to the actual travel situation, the display status of all indicator signs can be adjusted to a non-display state to control the non-display of each indicator sign.

[0105] For example, car owners can switch reminder modes according to their actual travel situation. When the reminder mode is set to Level 4 risk reminder mode, they can adjust the display status of all signs to be hidden to control the display of each sign.

[0106] This application embodiment controls the display of each indicator when the reminder mode is Level 1 risk reminder mode; controls the display of a third color indicator and / or a fourth color indicator when the reminder mode is Level 2 risk reminder mode, while not displaying the first color indicator and / or the second color indicator; controls the display of a fourth color indicator when the reminder mode is Level 3 risk reminder mode, while not displaying the first, second, and / or third color indicator; and controls the display of each indicator when the reminder mode is Level 4 risk reminder mode. This can further enhance the user's attention and user experience.

[0107] Step 208: When the distance change state is in a continuously shrinking state, change the display style of the continuously shrinking state indicator from the first display style to the second display style to remind the user to pay attention to the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle.

[0108] This step can be referred to in the detailed description of step 103, and will not be repeated here.

[0109] Step 209: When the change state is enlarging or the obstacle disappears, the display style of the indicator for the continuously shrinking state is changed from the second display style to the first display style.

[0110] In this embodiment of the application, when the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle changes from a continuously shrinking state to an increasing state or the obstacle disappears, the vehicle controller can change the display style of the indicator corresponding to the continuously shrinking distance from the first display style to the second display style.

[0111] For example, see Figure 3-6 As shown, a HUD control projection unit can be equipped on the vehicle to support the function of projecting reminder information onto the vehicle's windshield. Then, by analyzing the distance data collected by each sensor, the changes in distance data are determined, and it is calculated whether the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is continuously decreasing. When it is continuously decreasing, the corresponding directional arrow displayed on the windshield will change to a flashing display state until the distance to the obstacle increases or the obstacle disappears. Then, the flashing display state of the corresponding directional arrow displayed on the windshield can be restored to the previous display state.

[0112] This application embodiment changes the display style of the continuously shrinking indicator from the second display style to the first display style when the indicator is in an enlarging state or when the obstacle disappears. This can prevent the user from staring at the indicator and affecting the user's driving.

[0113] Another information display method provided in this application obtains the direction of obstacles relative to the vehicle and the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle only when the obstacle is within the warning range. This simplifies the processing steps and improves processing efficiency. By determining a reference direction and obtaining the relative direction of the obstacle to the vehicle based on the reference direction, and then displaying the indicator on the windshield of the vehicle in the first display style, users can understand the direction and distance of surrounding vehicles or obstacles simply by looking up at the windshield. It automatically determines whether it is safe to continue driving at the current vehicle speed, determines the surrounding danger distance and degree of danger, thereby assisting novice drivers in safely avoiding obstacles. By changing at least one of the display color, display size, and display format of the first display style according to distance and distance threshold, and by changing the indicator to a first color indicator when the distance is greater than or equal to the first distance threshold; changing the indicator to a second color indicator when the distance is less than the first distance threshold but greater than or equal to the second distance threshold; changing the indicator to a third color indicator when the distance is less than the second distance threshold but greater than or equal to the third distance threshold; and changing the indicator to a fourth color indicator when the distance is less than the third distance threshold but greater than or equal to the fourth distance threshold, it is easier to increase the user's attention and improve the user experience. By receiving user-inputted alert modes, the system adjusts the display status of indicator signs accordingly. In Level 1 risk alert mode, all indicator signs are displayed. In Level 2 risk alert mode, third-color and / or fourth-color indicator signs are displayed, while first-color and / or second-color indicator signs are not displayed. In Level 3 risk alert mode, fourth-color indicator signs are displayed, while first-color, second-color, and / or third-color indicator signs are not displayed. In Level 4 risk alert mode, all indicator signs are not displayed. This further enhances user attention and improves the user experience. By changing the display style of continuously shrinking indicator signs from the second display style to the first display style when the indicator is enlarging or an obstacle disappears, the system prevents users from constantly staring at the indicator signs, thus avoiding interference with driving.
