[0081] Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. Various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described herein will become apparent upon understanding this disclosure. For example, the order of operations described herein is merely illustrative and is not limited to those orders set forth herein, but can be changed as will become apparent upon understanding this disclosure, except for operations that must be performed in a particular order. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of features known in the art may be omitted.

[0082] The embodiments described below, which are examples of some of the embodiments of this disclosure, do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0083] The specific implementation methods of the embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0084] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle image display method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The vehicle image display method can be used in electronic devices, including vehicles, which may be new energy vehicles. The display device of the vehicle includes at least two display areas, which are arranged laterally in front of the vehicle's cockpit.

[0085] In specific embodiments of this disclosure, the display device can be a head-up display (HUD), or a strip-shaped or full-screen display formed by embedding one or more layers of transparent display material inside the windshield. By using techniques that project information onto the driver's field of vision, or by displaying the information directly in the driver's field of vision, the driver can obtain information without looking down or shifting their gaze.

[0086] It should be noted that the display device is used to project onto the windshield of the vehicle to form a display area extending from one side of the windshield to the other. Specifically, the horizontal width of the two display areas is fixed.

[0087] For example, the display device may have two display areas, three display areas, or four display areas, with each display area having a fixed horizontal width and each display area being evenly distributed across the area from one side of the windshield to the other, in order to provide users with an aesthetically pleasing display interface.

[0088] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0089] In step S110, in response to the vehicle being in a steering state, a steering image corresponding to the target rotation direction is acquired.

[0090] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the target rotation direction represents the direction in which the vehicle is about to turn, which can be either left or right. Based on the target rotation direction, a corresponding turning image can be acquired from at least one camera mounted on the side of the vehicle, and the turning image displays environmental information on the side of the target rotation direction.

[0091] In practical implementation, for example, in low-speed turning scenarios, when a vehicle is turning slowly in a narrow street, it can automatically acquire a side view image of the target turning direction to help the driver judge and avoid scraping roadside obstacles. In high-speed lane-changing scenarios, when a vehicle is traveling on a highway and the driver activates the turn signal to prepare to change lanes, it can immediately acquire a blind spot image of the target side to remind the driver to pay attention to vehicles approaching from behind. In parking assistance scenarios, when the vehicle is reversing into a parking space or parallel parking, it displays corresponding side and rear view images based on the target turning direction to assist the driver in completing precise operations.

[0092] It should be noted that the vehicle's steering status can be detected in various ways, such as by the steering wheel angle sensor, the status of the turn signal lights, and vehicle dynamic data, such as yaw rate.

[0093] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, it can be determined whether the vehicle is in a turning state and the target turning direction by monitoring the vehicle's steering signal. Accordingly, the provided vehicle image display method may further include: determining that the vehicle is in a turning state and the target turning direction in response to the vehicle's steering signal.

[0094] It should be noted that the vehicle's turn signal can be either a turn signal stalk activation signal, meaning the user activates the turn signal by moving the stalk, thus confirming that the vehicle is turning and allowing the target turning direction to be determined based on the stalk's position. Alternatively, the vehicle's turn signal can be a steering wheel rotation signal, triggered when the steering wheel is turned to one side by an angle exceeding a preset threshold. In other words, when the user turns the steering wheel left or right by an angle exceeding the preset threshold, the vehicle is confirmed to be turning, and the target turning direction can be determined based on the steering wheel's rotation direction.

[0095] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, it can be determined whether the vehicle is in a turning state and the target turning direction can be determined based on the vehicle's current driving status and the user's desired navigation. Accordingly, the provided vehicle image display method may further include: acquiring vehicle driving information and navigation information; and determining whether the vehicle is in a turning state and the target turning direction based on the driving information and navigation information.

[0096] In practice, driving information includes at least one or more of the following: steering wheel rotation angle, wheel speed, and acceleration sensor data. Navigation information may include real-time route guidance from the navigation system, including but not limited to the current road name, suggested driving direction, and the location of the upcoming turn. The system can determine whether the vehicle is preparing to turn based on the driving information; and by combining this with the route guidance information from the navigation system, the target turning direction can be determined. For example, when the steering wheel rotation angle exceeds a certain angle, or when acceleration sensor data indicates that the vehicle has begun to move laterally, it is determined that the vehicle has entered a turning state; using the suggested driving direction and the location of the upcoming turn in the navigation information, the system can accurately predict and confirm whether the target turning direction is a left or right turn.

[0097] In step S120, a turn signal image is displayed on a first display area of ​​the display device. The first display area is a display area that is wholly or partially located on one side of the target turning direction; or, the first display area is the display area directly in front of the driver's seat.

[0098] It should be noted that the display device needs to display various multimedia information from the vehicle, and there is a need to display multiple different types of services (such as navigation, music, instrument panel, dynamic prompts, etc.). The display device includes multiple display areas. While displaying the turn signal image on the first display area, the other display areas, as well as other parts of the first display area, can also display display cards corresponding to other services, thereby achieving zoned display and providing drivers with a safer, more convenient, and smarter driving experience.

[0099] For example, a zoned display can provide navigation and steering assistance in complex road conditions: the first display area shows the steering image to help the driver observe blind spots; the second display area displays navigation information, providing real-time route guidance; the third display area displays vehicle status (such as fuel level and tire pressure) to ensure the driver has full control over the vehicle's status. It can also provide panoramic imaging and entertainment functions in parking scenarios: the first display area displays a panoramic image including the steering image to assist the driver in precise parking, and other parts of the first display area display instrument panel information such as vehicle speed and engine speed; the second display area displays reversing trajectory guidelines; and the third display area plays music or videos to reduce user waiting time.

[0100] It should be noted that the vehicle can be symmetrically divided into left and right halves using the vehicle's centerline. The vehicle centerline refers to an imaginary straight line drawn along the longitudinal center of the vehicle, extending from the front to the rear. The first display screen is entirely or partially located on the side of the target rotation direction of the vehicle's centerline, displaying the turn signal image at the corresponding position on that side. The display area directly in front of the driver's seat refers to the main display screen area located above the vehicle's instrument panel or center console, within the driver's direct line of sight. This area is designed to allow the driver to quickly obtain important driving information and operational feedback without significantly shifting their gaze. By displaying the turn signal image in the area directly in front of the driver's seat, it minimizes eye movement, maximizes information transmission efficiency, and ensures driving safety and convenience.

[0101] In some specific embodiments of this disclosure, the display position of the turn signal image is located in the first display area on the side closer to the target turning direction, so as to ensure that the driver's line of sight is highly consistent with the presentation position of the turn signal image, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0102] As can be seen from the above steps, the vehicle image display method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, by setting a display device including at least two display areas on the vehicle, with the at least two display areas arranged horizontally in front of the vehicle's cockpit, acquires a steering image corresponding to the target turning direction when the vehicle is turning; and displays the steering image on the first display area of ​​the display device. The first display area is a display area that is wholly or partially located on one side of the target turning direction; or, the first display area is a display area directly in front of the driver's seat, so that the display position of the steering image is consistent with the vehicle's turning direction or with the field of vision in front of the driver's seat, thereby ensuring that the user's field of vision is consistent with the position of the steering image when the vehicle is turning, resulting in a better user experience and further improving driving safety and convenience.

[0103] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the display device includes three display areas, namely display area A, display area B, and display area C from the left to the right of the windshield. The display area directly in front of the driver's seat can be the left part of display area A and display area B.

[0104] like Figure 2 As shown, for a left turn scenario, the first display area can be display area A, and the left turn image can be displayed on the left side of display area A; for a right turn scenario, the right turn image can be displayed on the right side of display area A.

[0105] like Figure 3 As shown, for a left turn scenario, the first display area can be display area B, and the left turn image can be displayed on the left side of display area B; for a right turn scenario, the right turn image can be displayed on the right side of display area B.

[0106] like Figure 4 As shown, for a left turn scenario, the first display area can be display area A, and the left turn image can be displayed to the left of display area A; for a right turn scenario, the first display area can be display area C, and the right turn image can be displayed to the right of display area C.

[0107] In specific implementation, the display device includes three display areas; the first display area is the display area arranged horizontally in the middle of the three display areas; in response to the target turning direction being to the right, the display position of the turn image is located on the left side of the first display area, so that the driver can see the turn image when he looks up.

[0108] In other words, corresponding to the specific examples above, such as Figure 5As shown, for a right turn scenario, the first display area is display area B, and the right turn image can also be displayed to the left of display area B. To distinguish between left and right turn images, in a specific embodiment, for a left turn scenario, the first display area can be display area A, and the left turn image can be displayed to the left of display area A.

[0109] It is understood that the first display area and display position provided in the above embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure. In specific implementations, users can set the first display area and the display position of the turning image on the first display area according to their own needs.

[0110] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the provided vehicle image display method may further include: adjusting the display attributes of the turn signal image in response to a user's first display control operation. It should be noted that the display attributes include: display position and / or display size. The display size characterizes the screen size of the turn signal image, and the display size is smaller than a preset size threshold.

[0111] For example, users can adjust the display position of the turn-around image by dragging it, such as from display area A to display area B, or from the left side to the right side of display area A. The turn-around image is displayed as a window in the first display area. Users can zoom in using gestures such as pinching or spreading two fingers to enlarge the display window and adjust the display size of the turn-around image. It should be noted that, to prevent users from accidentally enlarging the turn-around image display window too much and obscuring other display cards in other areas of the display area, the display size can be set to be smaller than a preset size threshold.

[0112] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the provided vehicle image display method may further include: adjusting the display viewing angle of the turn signal image in response to a second display control operation by a user. It should be noted that the display viewing angle can be the field of view (FOV) of the turn signal image, or it can be the shooting angle of the turn signal image.

[0113] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the user controls the operation by clicking a button, dragging gestures, or using voice commands to adjust the display angle of the displayed turning image, thereby changing the field of view, or the field of view (FOV) or observation angle.

[0114] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, multiple cameras can be installed on the vehicle side to capture turning images, thereby capturing images from different positions of the vehicle. For example, a right front wheel view camera captures images from the right front side, a right side vehicle body view camera captures images from the right side, and a right rear wheel view camera captures images from the right rear side. Multiple display views can be provided on the display interface of the turning image for the user to select or switch. Accordingly, in response to the user's second display control operation, adjusting the display view of the turning image may include: in response to the user's view switching operation, adjusting the display view of the turning image from a first display view to a second display view; wherein the first display view and the second display view correspond to different image capturing angles. Specifically, the user switches the display view of the turning image from the first display view to the second display view by sliding a switching gesture or selecting the desired option in the view options, thereby obtaining images from different positions captured by different cameras, thereby accurately assisting driving.

[0115] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the provided vehicle image display method may further include: adjusting the display angle of the steering image based on vehicle status monitoring information. It should be noted that the display angle can be the field of view (FOV) of the steering image, or it can be the shooting angle of the steering image.

[0116] It should be noted that vehicle status monitoring information may include: steering angle: the rotation angle of the steering wheel or the actual steering angle of the wheels; vehicle speed; acceleration: lateral and longitudinal acceleration; environmental information: such as weather conditions (rainy days, foggy days), road type (urban roads, highways), etc.; vehicle position and attitude: the vehicle's position, tilt angle, etc. are obtained through positioning systems such as GPS or inertial navigation systems.

[0117] Specifically, the vehicle's steering status can be determined based on vehicle status monitoring information, that is, the specific stage in the vehicle's steering process, and the display view can be switched to the display view corresponding to the current stage, which is also the shooting view. For example, if it is determined that the front wheels of the vehicle have completed the steering process to avoid an obstacle, the display view can be automatically switched to the right side of the vehicle body, and the steering image captured by the right side of the vehicle body camera can be displayed on the display interface to help the user to better complete the steering driving.

[0118] In practice, the field of view of the steering image can be adjusted or the optimal field of view of the steering image can be intelligently recommended to the user based on the vehicle's current driving status (such as vehicle speed and steering angle) and the user's historical operating habits. For example, when turning at low speed, a wider field of view can be automatically selected; while when driving at high speed, images at a greater distance may be prioritized.

[0119] For example, in low-speed turning scenarios, such as parking, U-turns, or narrow roads, drivers need a clearer close-up view. The display perspective can be switched to a wider-angle mode to cover a larger near-field area, showing obstacles around the vehicle, such as pedestrians, curbs, and reference lines, such as steering trajectory prediction lines. If the vehicle has a 360° surround view system, it can be automatically activated and a bird's-eye view can be displayed.

[0120] In high-speed lane-changing scenarios, such as lane changes and overtaking on highways, drivers need to pay attention to road conditions in the distance. Adjusting the display view to long-range mode highlights lane lines, other vehicles, and road signs in the distance. It can also be combined with a blind spot monitoring system to display images of the sides and rear, alerting the driver to vehicles in the blind spot.

[0121] In scenarios involving sharp turns or inclines, the vehicle's posture changes, such as tilting or pitching. The camera angle can be adjusted according to the vehicle's posture to maintain a horizontal and stable image, ensuring a smooth display view. For downhill curves, a view closer to the ground can be displayed to help the driver assess road conditions. In nighttime or inclement weather conditions, where light is insufficient or visibility is low, night vision or an infrared camera can be activated to enhance image brightness and contrast. The display view will also automatically switch to wide-angle mode to expand the field of view.

[0122] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, other display cards, such as instrument information display cards, are originally displayed on the first display area. The information displayed is information that the driver needs to pay close attention to frequently during driving. When the turn signal image is displayed in this position, it will cover the original inherent display information. Therefore, the covered inherent information can be displayed in a floating manner to avoid obscuring important information and affecting the driver's driving, thereby improving driving safety. Accordingly, the provided vehicle image display method further includes: responding to the existence of inherent display information in the coverage area of ​​the turn signal image on the first display area, displaying the inherent display information in a floating manner. Inherent display information such as vehicle speed, navigation prompts, and warning information is superimposed on the turn signal image in a semi-transparent or independent window form.

[0123] Furthermore, the priority of the floating information can be dynamically adjusted according to the driving scenario. For example, during normal driving, only the vehicle speed and navigation prompts are displayed. In emergency situations, such as collision warnings, the warning information is highlighted.

[0124] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, to improve the presentation of the turn signal image, the provided vehicle image display method further includes: configuring a display background layer so that the turn signal image covers the display background layer. It should be noted that some edges of the display background layer are gradient-processed. By setting an appropriate color or pattern for the display background layer, the content of the turn signal image is highlighted. This avoids the turn signal image being directly superimposed on complex underlying content, such as other display interfaces, reducing visual interference. The shape of the display background layer is typically rectangular or rounded rectangle, but it can also be designed into other shapes, such as circles or ellipses, according to actual needs.

[0125] In practice, gradient processing enhances the visual hierarchy of the interface while preventing abrupt boundaries between the image and background, allowing the background layer to transition naturally with its surroundings and avoiding harsh edges. The direction and extent of the gradient can be adjusted according to actual needs, for example, gradually fading from the center to the edge.

[0126] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the color of the background layer should contrast with the directional image to ensure that the image content is clearly visible. Common choices include dark backgrounds, such as black or dark gray, or semi-transparent backgrounds, such as dark blue or dark green.

[0127] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the turn signal image is displayed as a display card, and the color of the display card is a first color. The color of the display background layer is a second color. Accordingly, the vehicle image display method further includes: determining the second color based on the first color; and / or adjusting the transparency of the display background layer based on the first color. Thus, based on the first color of the display card, the color and / or transparency of the display background layer are adaptively set, providing the user with a more aesthetically pleasing and visually superior display effect.

[0128] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the turning image is displayed as a display card, and the color of the display card is a first color. The color of the display background layer is a second color, such as black. Further, the display background layer includes at least a transition area, and the color of the transition area is a third color; the third color is determined based on the first and second colors. In specific implementations, the third color can be generated by sampling the first and second colors and using them as the basis for the transition color. The position and size of the transition area can be adjusted to achieve the best display effect.

[0129] In practice, linear gradients, radial gradients, and other methods can be used to gradually transition the background layer from the second color in the center to the first color, so that the turning image can be better integrated into the first display area, avoiding harsh boundaries and improving the aesthetics of the display interface and user experience.

[0130] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the presence of hazardous factors threatening driving safety can be determined by analyzing and identifying the turn signal image, and a warning label can be overlaid on the turn signal image for display, such as a red warning halo to alert the user. Accordingly, the provided vehicle image display method further includes: analyzing and identifying the turn signal image to determine the presence of hazardous factors; and displaying a preset effect on the turn signal image in response to the presence of hazardous factors. For example, this could be displaying a warning label overlaid on the turn signal image.

[0131] It should be noted that computer vision and machine learning algorithms can be used to analyze turning images and identify potential hazards. Possible implementation methods include: Feature extraction: Extracting key features from the turning image, such as object shape, size, and color. Classification / detection model application: Utilizing trained deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), to identify specific types of objects or situations, such as pedestrians, other vehicles, and road obstacles. Based on information from the current video frame and its historical frames, behavior prediction can be performed to predict potential future situations and determine whether they pose a threat. Assessing whether the identified objects pose a threat to driving safety can be determined using AI algorithms, considering factors such as the object's distance, speed, direction, and the vehicle's own driving status.

[0132] If a hazard is detected, a warning sign will be overlaid on the corresponding turn signal image. The warning sign can be a graphic symbol, such as a triangle warning sign or an exclamation mark warning sign; a text prompt, such as "Pedestrian Ahead"; a dynamic prompt, such as a continuous red halo; or other forms of visual alerts, such as animation effects, designed to quickly attract the driver's attention and prompt appropriate action. It should be noted that a continuous flashing red halo can be displayed at the edge of the turn signal image display, or at the edge of the hazard, to alert the user.

[0133] In practice, the generated warning icons, text messages, or dynamic prompts can be merged with the original images to form a new output screen for display. In some advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), augmented reality technology can also be used to directly overlay virtual information onto the actual scene in the driver's field of vision.

[0134] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the provided vehicle image display method further includes: in response to detecting a collision risk to the vehicle, determining risk warning information; and displaying the risk warning information on a floating screen over a turn signal image.

[0135] Collision risk detection, using technologies such as AI algorithms, dynamic path planning, or large AI models, determines whether a vehicle poses a collision risk. If a collision risk is identified, a risk warning message is provided to the user. These warning messages can be categorized as follows: Forward collision risk: e.g., "Vehicle ahead is too close." Side collision risk: e.g., "Vehicle approaching in the right blind spot." Rear collision risk: e.g., "Vehicle rapidly approaching from behind." Pedestrian or obstacle risk: e.g., "Caution: Pedestrian on the left."

[0136] By overlaying floating risk warning information onto the turn signal image, drivers can more intuitively understand the source of danger and how to respond. The risk warning information can also be placed near key areas of the turn signal image. For example, if the risk comes from the left, the warning information can be displayed on the left edge of the image. The warning information can also use a semi-transparent background to ensure that it does not affect the clarity of the turn signal image. The size, color, and transparency of the warning information can also be adjusted according to the risk level. For example, high-risk information uses a prominent red font, while low-risk information uses a more subtle yellow font.

[0137] In some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the provided vehicle image display method further includes: performing image analysis on the steering image and performing behavior prediction based on the analysis result to obtain the prediction result and corresponding driving suggestions; obtaining voice broadcast content based on the prediction result and corresponding driving suggestions; and broadcasting the voice broadcast content in the vehicle's cabin.

[0138] In practice, prediction results and driving suggestions for users can be generated through methods such as image-to-text conversion, feature extraction combined with dynamic path planning. For example, if an obstacle is predicted ahead, it is suggested to "slow down and prepare to stop"; if a vehicle is predicted to be rapidly approaching in the right blind spot, it is suggested to "pay attention to the right blind spot and change lanes cautiously".

[0139] The predicted results and driving suggestions can be converted into easily understandable text descriptions using NLP (Natural Language Processing) technology. For example, "An obstacle has been detected 50 meters ahead, please slow down." TTS (Text-to-Speech) technology can then be used to convert the converted text into speech information, which is then played through the vehicle's built-in speaker system. The sound must be clear and audible without being overly harsh or interfering with the normal driving experience. Furthermore, if multiple warnings or prompts exist simultaneously, a reasonable prioritization mechanism must be set up to ensure that the most important information is delivered to the driver first.

[0140] This specific embodiment can not only intelligently analyze the steering image, but also provide driving suggestions based on these analyses and inform the driver via voice, thereby improving driving safety.

[0141] Those skilled in the art will understand that the various display implementation processes provided in the above exemplary embodiments can be implemented individually or in combination to provide users with a variety of display services. For example, when a potential forward collision is detected, "Forward Collision Risk: Please Slow Down" is displayed in the center or front area of ​​the turn signal image. The vehicle in front is surrounded by a red warning box, and a voice reminder "Please be aware of the vehicle in front, please slow down" is played.

[0142] For example, if a hazard is detected in the blind spot, a message will be displayed on the side of the turn signal camera indicating "Vehicle approaching in the right blind spot." A dynamic arrow or a flashing red marker will also be displayed near the vehicle in the blind spot.

[0143] For example, if a pedestrian is detected around the vehicle, the system displays "Caution: Pedestrian on the left" in the lower left corner of the turn signal image. A prominent red box is overlaid on the pedestrian image, and a voice prompt, "Caution: Pedestrian, please brake," is played.

[0144] It is understood that in a reversing scenario, when a user is reversing the vehicle, the reversing image can be displayed on the display device. Simultaneously, the steering image display method provided in the above embodiments can be applied to display the steering image during the reversing process in the first display area. This display can be combined with the direction of steering wheel rotation; for example, when reversing to the left, a left-turning image can be displayed. Steering images from both the left and right sides can also be displayed simultaneously to provide more comprehensive image support for safe driving. Further details regarding the embodiments disclosed herein will not be elaborated upon here.
