Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hats, specifically a front-mounted prompting hat and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] There are many types of hats nowadays, and most have a visor at the front. The visor serves two purposes: firstly, it shields the eyes from sunlight and protects against wind, rain, and debris; secondly, it contributes to the hat's aesthetic appeal, making hats with visors more popular. However, a drawback of this type of hat is that it doesn't fully utilize the unique position of the visor for information exchange. Some hats have a display panel shaped like glasses attached to the bottom of the visor. While this display panel can be folded up and down, it's unsuitable for standby use. For people working or busy outdoors, this display panel cannot be left down for extended periods, as it obstructs the user's view. When folded up, it lacks a standby interface, meaning it cannot be used for extended periods to display call and message notifications, especially important notifications. Folding down the panel every time a call or message comes in is inconvenient, as some messages don't require a response, and it doesn't utilize the space under the visor for convenient answering or replying to calls and messages. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing hats and provide a front-end prompting and response hat and its usage method.

[0004] This invention is implemented as follows: The front-end prompt response cap and its usage method include a front-end substrate, a top substrate, a home button area, a touch strip, a screen strip, a main unit, buttons, a cap plate, and a cap body. The front-end substrate and the top substrate are connected as one unit, with the top substrate connected below the cap plate. The screen strip is connected to the rear panel of the front-end substrate. A touch strip is provided on the front of the front-end substrate. A home button area is provided below the top substrate. The home button area is equipped with buttons representing their respective areas of content, and each button has a dedicated icon corresponding to its respective area. The home button area below the top substrate functions the same as the home page on a mobile phone. The screen strip can display the time and navigation. The system uses an alternating selection method of touch strip and screen strip display to complete the response process for WeChat and messages. When there is an incoming call, WeChat message, or message, the dedicated icons for the call, WeChat message, and message on the screen strip light up and flash to attract visual attention. Pressing the relevant buttons allows the text on the narrow screen strip, which could originally only display one line of text, to wrap to a new line, displaying the main content continuously. The navigation display method on the screen strip is as follows: A section is marked out in the middle of the screen strip with two vertical lines, serving as the straight-ahead area. An upward arrow in the straight-ahead area indicates going straight, while a downward arrow indicates a U-turn. The left side of the straight-ahead area is used for left turns, and the right side for right turns. Both left and right turn areas are equipped with intersection lights, which are normally off. When a left turn is approaching, the arrow extending into the left-turn area illuminates. As the user approaches the left-turn intersection, the left-turn intersection light flashes, the arrow also flashes, and a voice prompt indicates an imminent left turn. The right-turn display method is the same as the left-turn display. Replies to WeChat messages and other information displayed on the screen strip can be sent via voice, text, emojis, or voice-to-text. The text package reply function pre-classifies, groups, and packages commonly used texts from different aspects and fields. Each text package of the same type or group contains multiple short text packages with the same or similar meanings. These text packages are stored in the host's memory and are displayed on the screen by clicking on the touch strip, i.e., a touch-display-touch-display human-computer interaction option. The user selects the text package they need and sends it to the recipient's mobile phone. The operation method for the buttons on the top substrate is as follows: place your thumb on the selected button surface below the top substrate, and use another finger of the same hand on the cap plate corresponding to the thumb's position, then pinch the two fingers together to complete the press. To press the buttons on the front substrate, place your index finger on the selected button surface on the front substrate, and place your thumb on the screen strip corresponding to the index finger's position, then pinch the two fingers together. To press the buttons below the front substrate, place your thumb on the button surface below the front substrate, and place your index finger on the cap plate corresponding to the thumb's position, then press the two fingers together to complete the press. Buttons are mounted on the front-end substrate, and the buttons are mounted on the front and bottom of the front-end substrate.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. A screen strip is installed below the front end of the cap plate. The screen strip is short and does not obstruct the eye's line of sight. Visual acuity is divided into central vision and peripheral vision, i.e., primary vision and lateral vision. The area below the front end of the cap plate is precisely within the eye's lateral vision perception range. Objects too close to the eye are difficult to see clearly, while objects too far away lack a support for the screen strip. The front end of the cap plate is positioned at a distance sufficient to clearly see text and images, making it a rare and ideal support location for a display strip in wearable devices. The eyes are highly sensitive to light; incoming calls, WeChat messages, and other notifications will illuminate the corresponding cursor on the screen strip. Therefore, the eyes don't need to pay attention to the light; the illumination of the cursor on the screen strip at the front end of the cap plate is quickly perceived. A quick upward glance is all it takes to see the content displayed on the screen strip. This is especially useful for handling important notifications immediately. 2. Buttons are installed on the cap plate to control the content displayed on the screen strip. The alternating button press and screen display allows a narrow screen, which could originally only display a single line of small text, to display continuous text throughout the notification message. 3. It can respond to received WeChat messages and other information. 4. It employs a navigation method different from traditional navigation, enabling convenient and accurate navigation even on a narrow screen that can only display a single line of small text, greatly improving user convenience. 5. Buttons are installed on the front panel of the front substrate, allowing for easy control of the content displayed on the screen. This is particularly convenient for a narrow front-end screen. 6. The screen can display the time, which is much more convenient than checking the time on a mobile phone or watch while busy. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 The diagram shows the installation of the front-end substrate, screen strip, and top substrate on the cap plate. The front-end prompt response cap includes a cap body 8, a cap plate 5, a front-end substrate 14, a top substrate 6, a screen strip 12, a home button 11, and a main unit 28. The cutaway portion in the diagram shows that the front-end substrate 14 and the top substrate 6 are integrated. The screen strip 12 is mounted on the rear side of the front-end substrate 14, and the top substrate 6 is connected to the bottom of the cap plate 5 by rivets 4. The portion below the thickness edge 2 of the cap plate is the front-end substrate 14. The front-end substrate 14 has an appropriate height, also called width, and is positioned horizontally at the front of the cap plate in a strip shape, not obstructing the user's view. The height of the screen strip is made in several ranges according to user needs. The first range is 4-6 mm wide. The smallest width range is 4-6 mm, and the largest width range is generally 12-15 mm. Widths exceeding 15 mm are for special environments or specific users. The standard is to not obstruct the user's view. Screen strips with a height exceeding 8 mm can display reduced, simple images.

[0016] This invention is applicable to all kinds of hats with a visor and a visor of appropriate length, including hats for the elderly, youth, students, children, tourists, sun hats, military hats, industry-specific clothing hats, engineering hats with longer visors, and safety helmets.

[0017] Figure 2 Figure A shows the connection between the top substrate and the front substrate. Figure B shows the front substrate 14 and the top substrate 6 connected as a single unit, formed by processing plastic. The top substrate 6 has an upwardly arched shape with an appropriate curvature, the curvature of which matches the upward curvature of the cap plate to which it is connected. In the figure, the top substrate arches to the left (front) with a curvature that is basically consistent with the curvature of the front of the cap plate to which it is connected.

[0018] The height of the front-end substrate is much smaller than its left and right lengths. The front-end substrate is strip-shaped. The effective height of the front-end substrate is the distance from the bottom of the front-end substrate to the bottom of the top substrate, also called the width of the horizontal strip. A screen strip 12 is mounted on the right side, i.e., the rear, of the front-end substrate. The screen strip is a very narrow display strip. The home button 11 and the fingerprint area 10 are mounted under the top substrate 6. A touch strip 1 is mounted on the front panel of the front-end substrate 14.

[0019] Figure B is a view of Figure A from direction D. The cut-out section shows the top substrate 6, with the front substrate 14 connected below it. The annular surface at the front is the touch strip 1, and the central circle is the camera 15. The delete key 16, the up key 17, and the back key 18 are installed below the front substrate.

[0020] Figure C is an enlarged cross-sectional view of Figure B (AA section). A front-facing camera 15 is mounted in the center of the front-end substrate 14. The camera 15 is located in the center of the front-end substrate as shown in Figure B, exactly at the cross-sectional position. A mounting space 19 is provided in the center of the front-end substrate for the camera. The front-facing camera 15 is mounted in the mounting space 19. The front and rear sides of the front-end substrate are thin plates forming the mounting space. A touch surface 1 is provided on the front left side of the front-end substrate. A screen strip 12 is mounted on the rear right side of the front-end substrate. A home button 11 is mounted on the bottom of the top substrate.

[0021] Figure 3 The image in the middle is a front view of the front-end prompt and response cap. It is from... Figure 1 The image shows the front of the hat viewed from left to right. A front rim 7 is located above the hat panel 5. A top substrate 6 is connected to the bottom of the hat panel 5, as shown in the cutaway view. A front substrate 14 is connected to the bottom of the top substrate 6. Side edges 3 are connected to both sides of the front substrate, and a touch strip 1 is located on the front of the front substrate 14. A delete button 16 is installed on the front shell surface of the left side edge 3. A return button 18 is installed on the front of the right side edge 3. A front-facing camera 15 is installed behind the center of the touch strip 1. For aesthetic reasons, the side edges 3 are connected to the left and right sides of the front substrate, with the lower edge of the side edges gradually tapering upwards to smoothly connect with the middle section of the front of the hat panel. In Figure A, an up button 17 is installed on the front substrate behind the right side of the touch strip 1. In Figure B, the up button 17 on the right side of the touch strip 1 in Figure A is installed in a space cut out on the bottom surface of the front substrate on the lower right side.

[0022] Side edges 3 are located on both sides of the front end of the cap plate 5. The rear side of the front substrate is used to mount the screen strip 1. There is an empty area behind the side edges on both sides. To ensure a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance at the front of the cap, side edges 3 are connected to the left and right sides of the front substrate. The screen strip on the front substrate is generally very narrow and can only display one line of text. The screen strip has two functions: first, to display the received text and simplified, reduced images and icons for the user to browse (hereinafter referred to as the browsing stage); second, to send the short text selected by the user to the other party. To send the text needed by the user, selecting the text becomes an important process, requiring quick and accurate selection and sending; therefore, an selection stage is set up.

[0023] Figure 4 In the middle, Figure A is Figure 1 Figure B is a top-mounted view of the front-end substrate, screen strip, and top substrate mounted on the cap plate. Figure 1 The enlarged cross-sectional view of the cap plate is also the AA enlarged cross-sectional view of Figure A. In Figure B, the front substrate 14 is connected to the bottom of the top substrate 6. The screen strip 12 is installed on the right side, i.e., the rear, of the front substrate 14. The home button 11 and the fingerprint area 10 are installed under the top substrate 6. The top substrate 6 is connected to the bottom of the cap plate 5 using rivets 4. This connection method is suitable for connecting the top substrate 6 to the cap plate that is already covered with fabric.

[0024] The push-button switch utilizes a short travel and lightweight design. Mounting holes corresponding to the switch positions are drilled on the top and front substrates. A cable routing channel in the shape of a wire groove is drilled on the corresponding surface of the top substrate. It is manufactured and installed using existing technology for mounting thin switches on the board surface. After installation, it is encapsulated by covering the cable routing channel with a thin plastic sheet to ensure a smooth encapsulation.

[0025] Figure A is a Figure 1 The top panel 5 is flipped upside down, revealing the bottom surface facing upwards. This shows the layout beneath the top panel. The left side of the top substrate 6 houses the home button area 22, with the following buttons arranged from bottom to top: Phone button 26, WeChat button 25, Messages button 24, Navigation button 23, and Camera button 21. Each home button has an icon representing its respective area, identical to those on the phone itself, facilitating easy identification and familiarization. The top substrate 6 also features a fingerprint sensor 10, identical to existing fingerprint collection and recognition systems on mobile phones, resulting in a lightweight design. A power button 27 is also mounted on the top substrate.

[0026] The home button area on the top substrate 6 functions similarly to the home screen on a mobile phone, except that different buttons represent different icons on the phone's home screen. The icons and their colors are identical to those on a mobile phone, making them easy to identify and use. The number of buttons on the top substrate 6 can be increased or decreased during design and manufacturing to suit different user groups. The diagram shows and explains some commonly used buttons.

[0027] A return key 18 and a delete key 16 are respectively mounted on the shell plates along the side edges 3 on both sides of the front-end substrate 14. An up key 19 is mounted on the front of the front-end substrate; the up key 19 can also be installed in the mounting space below the front-end substrate 14, such as... Figure 3 As shown in Figure B, the screen strip is very narrow, displaying only one line of text. After the user finishes reading this line, pressing the up button immediately displays the next line of text, essentially a page break. Each press changes the page, allowing the user to view the entire notification content line by line for timely processing. A camera 15 is installed in the front-end substrate. Because the length of the camera is greater than the thickness of the front-end substrate, the substrate is made into two layers, each a thin sheet, with the camera installed in the middle. The empty areas on either side of the camera, after installing the ribbon cables, are filled with lightweight material, thus creating a single, integrated front-end substrate.

[0028] Human vision is divided into central vision and peripheral vision, also known as primary vision and lateral vision. The screen band 12 falls within the range of lateral vision perception, and the eye is very sensitive to light. When a call, WeChat message, or other notification arrives, the screen band displays icons identical to those on a mobile phone, which then light up. The user notices this immediately. The brightness of these icons is similar to that of a small indicator light on a typical appliance, and is not glaring.

[0029] The screen band 12 can display the time. No matter how busy a user is, even if their hands are full or dirty, they can tell the time with just a glance upwards. This is much more convenient than taking out a mobile phone or a watch to check the time, especially when both hands are busy.

[0030] The working principle of text-based replies is to use a narrow screen that can only display one line of text to reply to received WeChat messages. Available methods include voice reply, voice-to-text reply, text-based replies, and emoji replies. Text-based replies include both simple one-option text-based replies and multi-option text-based replies.

[0031] A simple response involves the incoming call icon flashing on the screen, accompanied by a unique caller ID sound. After seeing the caller's name, the user simply taps a button on the front panel (let's call it button 17). The screen immediately displays three options: 1. Answer, 2. Not available to answer, 3. Hang up. To answer the call, the user taps the corresponding touch strip area on the back of the "Answer" button. When the user touches or swipes on the touch strip in front of the front panel, a mouse-like icon moves synchronously, ensuring precise targeting. Hanging up or choosing "Not available to answer" is handled similarly.

[0032] For most text packages that require multiple selections, including those expressing blessings and attitudes (or simply statements of opinion), short phrases and sentences commonly used in relevant industries, professions, social interactions, work, study, and daily life are categorized and grouped. For example, the blessing / congratulatory category is further divided into different group numbers for birthdays, college admissions, housewarmings, and business successes. Each group number contains multiple specific blessing / congratulatory phrases. The selection process uses a combination of on-screen display and touchscreen interaction, a step-by-step human-computer interaction method of display-click-display-click to select the desired text package.

[0033] The following example illustrates how to select the text message "I agree". When a WeChat message or other message requiring the user to express their opinion appears on the screen, pressing the up button on the front panel 14 initiates the selection process. The screen immediately displays options categorized as blessings, congratulations, expressing opinions, and work-related matters. Following the above method, if the user touches the "expressing opinions" option on the touch panel, the screen immediately displays two options: "agree" and "disagree". If the user touches the "agree" option, four options immediately appear: "That's it," "Okay," "I agree," and "I wholeheartedly support it." After the user touches the corresponding "I agree" option on the touch panel, the three words "I agree" are immediately sent to the recipient's phone.

[0034] For those who choose to reply with emojis, the emoji images in the emoji pack are pre-grouped and packaged according to the images of praise, like, dislike, agree, and disagree, and stored in the host repository in the same way as the text packs mentioned above.

[0035] The selection process for text packets in other group numbers follows the same method. When a user wants to make a call, they press the "Telephone" button (Telephone key 26) below the top panel. The dialing procedure will immediately appear on the screen, displaying the group number of the phone contact. There are five options: Special Group, Family Group, Friends Group, Colleague Group, and General Phone Contact Group. After the user taps the group number of the recipient on the touch panel, multiple phone contact names within that group will immediately appear on the screen. The user can then tap the selected recipient's name on the touch panel to initiate a voice call. Selecting options on the screen is quick and easy, requiring only a few taps.

[0036] The examples above illustrating the working principle of the text package are for ease of explanation. The listed options are all very short. In actual use, a text package can contain short texts consisting of several sentences, or even longer text packages, all of which can be categorized and grouped using a number. Users only need to remember the numbers of the multiple text packages.

[0037] Statement text packages are not limited to the text content listed above. They also include affirmative and negative words such as: yes, no, go, don't go, come, don't come, ahead of time, not ahead of time, stop, continue, etc.

[0038] For replies using emojis, follow the same method. First, categorize and group commonly used emojis; each group contains multiple emoji images. Select and send the emojis from each group step by step, following the steps outlined above.

[0039] The above selection process can be implemented in two ways. One method involves following the pre-stored, categorized, and packaged text packets in the host repository step-by-step. The other method utilizes AI technology and strong memory capabilities. The system analyzes and judges the received WeChat messages and text content, determining which category of the categorized and packaged text packets the user needs to reply to. In this case, the system no longer displays the category to be selected but directly shows the group number of the determined category and a brief name for each group number for the user to choose from. After the user selects the chosen group number, the specific words, phrases, and sentences of the multiple text packets for that group number appear on the screen. The user then taps the touch strip corresponding to "I agree" on the screen to send "I agree" to the other party's phone, completing the response.

[0040] The system utilizes AI voice processing technology to provide convenient voice-to-text replies for WeChat messages, allowing users to complete responses with just a sentence or a few sentences. In public places where voice-to-text conversion is inconvenient, users can reply directly using the text pack.

[0041] The categorization, grouping, and packaging of text packets can all be handled by the system using AI technology. Users simply input voice commands, and the system uses AI to complete the task. Sometimes, the system's AI response to the text packets doesn't follow the categorization, grouping, and packaging methods described above. Instead, it quickly and directly displays the relevant sentences (words, phrases, and sentences) from the last of multiple options, transforming multiple options into a single selection for user convenience.

[0042] Figure 5The image shows the main unit's installation diagram. The main unit has the basic functions of a typical mobile phone. The screen strip 12 is very narrow, and its horizontal length is only the length of the middle section of the front end of the cap plate, which is slightly wider than the width of a typical mobile phone. The casing of the main unit 28 is also made of plastic, unlike the sturdy and drop-resistant materials used in typical mobile phone cases. Because the main unit is installed under the cap plate, it will not be damaged by the cap plate falling from any direction. The screen strip is separate from the main unit, allowing for a small size, thinness, and light weight. In the diagram, a rectangular plate extends to the right from the top substrate 6, and the main unit 28 is mounted on this rectangular plate. The rectangular plate is connected to the cap plate 5 with rivets 4. The main unit can also be installed behind the cap plate, on the front edge of the cap plate, or on the side edge, connected by a flexible circuit board. The main unit can also be placed directly in the user's pocket, or the user's mobile phone can be used as the main unit, with Bluetooth-related components installed on the top substrate for wireless transmission and binding with the main unit.

[0043] The top base plate 6 is connected to the cap plate using either rivets 4 or snap fasteners. For snap fasteners, simply replace the rivets in the diagram with snaps. The advantage of snap fasteners is easy disassembly; however, they are only used on a few cap plates.

[0044] The fingerprint area is located under the top substrate 6. Only a few hat types are used for information security purposes, and only the user is allowed to use them. Most hats do not have a fingerprint area on the cap plate.

[0045] To better see the text or images displayed on the screen, users can temporarily pull the front of the cap down slightly. After viewing the content, simply pull the cap back up. This is especially important for users who wear their caps high up; they should move the cap down slightly to see the display. Generally, the front of the cap should be slightly lower than the back, as many people wear hats this way. The front of the cap should be tilted downwards, not horizontally. When the view is not obstructed, most users can quickly see the text and images displayed on the screen.

[0046] The installation of various components on the hat panel increases its weight to some extent. Weight reduction was prioritized in the design and material selection. For hats worn by the elderly or children, or for casual travel, users can choose a hat with a slightly tighter brim. Hats with a tightening / loosening strap at the back can be adjusted accordingly. Alternatively, a knob for adjusting the brim tightness can be located at the back opening of the hat, allowing for convenient and quick adjustment. This serves the same purpose as the existing buckle structure for adjusting the brim tightness at the back of hats. Simply adjust the brim slightly tighter when going out. Adjust the tightness according to the user's activity level. For users with low-intensity exercise, the brim tightness can be adjusted once and not needed each time. A miniature microphone and speaker integration component are installed on one side of the back of the hat panel or under the side brim. Hat models also include Bluetooth headsets, which are not shown in the diagram.

[0047] Figure 6 The diagrams shown are: Figure A shows the button operation diagram below the top substrate; Figure B shows the button pressing operation diagram below the front substrate; and Figure C shows the button operation diagram at the front of the front substrate.

[0048] In Figure A, pressing the home button 11 and the fingerprint area 10 on the top substrate is inconvenient using either the index or middle finger; only the thumb 30 is convenient. When pressing the button under the top substrate 6, the tip of the thumb 30 is placed under the desired home button 11, and the index finger 29 is placed on the cap plate corresponding to the thumb position. A slight pinch between the two fingers presses the selected button. Humans can quickly and accurately pinch their thumb and index finger together, regardless of day or night, light or darkness—this is an instinct. The thumb and index finger, or the thumb and middle finger, can also work together.

[0049] When unlocking the device by pressing the fingerprint area in Figure A, the front of the thumb 30 should be tilted slightly downwards so that the pad of the thumb is flat under the fingerprint area. The index or middle finger is placed on the corresponding position on the cap plate 5. Pressing the upper and lower fingers together will collect the fingerprint and unlock the device.

[0050] Figure B illustrates the operation of pressing the up button 17 under the front substrate 14. To press the up button, place your thumb under the up button 17 on the front substrate, and your index finger on the cap plate corresponding to your thumb position 30. Squeeze the two fingers together slightly to complete the press. This method is convenient when the front substrate is very small.

[0051] Figure C shows the button operation diagram on the front of the substrate. Place your finger on the surface of the desired up button 17, with your thumb 30 resting on the screen strip corresponding to your index finger position. Pinch the two fingers together to press the button. Figures A, B, and C use a pinching motion with the thumb and index finger to press the buttons. This method is fast, accurate, and convenient. It also ensures the stability of the cap plate and allows for operation with only one hand.

[0052] Figure 7 The diagram in the middle shows another way to operate the buttons. It shows another method of pressing the buttons on the front panel. You can also easily press the selected button directly with your index finger (29). This method sometimes causes the cap plate to move backward, and you may need to use your other hand to stabilize the cap plate, but it is still easy to operate.

[0053] Figure 8 The middle section is the navigation display diagram. The section with cross-sections is the top substrate 6. Below the top substrate 6 is the screen strip 12. (This is from...) Figure 2 The diagram of the China League Two (or China League Two) is viewed from the reverse side, i.e., from... Figure 2 The display screen shown when looking from right to left on the China League One map.

[0054] In Figure A, the area between two vertical lines in the middle of the screen strip 12 below the top substrate 6 is designated as the straight display area, i.e., straight area 32. To the left of straight area 32 is designated as the left-turn display area, i.e., left-turn area 31. To the right of straight area 32 is designated as the right-turn display area, i.e., right-turn area 34. An upward arrow, i.e., straight arrow 33, appears in straight area 32, indicating straight forward movement.

[0055] In Figure B, a left-turn arrow (arrow 35) appears within left-turn zone 31, indicating an upcoming left turn. A left-turn intersection light (36) is located to the right of left-turn zone 31, near the straight-ahead area. Left-turn intersection light 36 remains off until the user reaches the left-turn intersection. Left-turn arrow 35 becomes a flashing red cursor at the start of the navigation voice prompt to attract the user's attention. The brightness of the flashing cursor then decreases to a secondary cursor of the same color as the arrow line, meaning it is less bright, but the user can still clearly perceive the light. Following this, a voice prompt indicates how many kilometers are left before the left turn, similar to existing navigation voice prompts.

[0056] In Figure C, when the user is about to turn left, the left-turn intersection light 36 immediately turns yellow to indicate that the user is preparing to turn left. When the user is very close to or has reached the left-turn intersection, the left-turn intersection light immediately turns into a flashing green light, and a voice prompt is given: "Turn immediately."

[0057] In Figure D, a downward-pointing cursor appears in the straight-ahead area 32, which is the U-turn cursor 37, prompting the user to turn around immediately.

[0058] Figure E shows the right turn indicator. Similar to the left turn indicator, the right turn arrow 39 extends into the right turn zone 34. The right turn traffic light 38 is not illuminated.

[0059] In the image shown, similar to the left-turn prompt, when preparing to turn right, the right-turn traffic light 38 illuminates yellow to remind the user. Subsequently, the right-turn traffic light flashes green to remind the user to turn immediately.

[0060] The diagram shows lane 40. This indicates which lane to use when turning ahead. The vertical lines on both sides have shifted to the left and right, widening the straight-ahead area above, creating six lanes (40). An upward-pointing lane arrow (41) appears in the first lane on the right, indicating that the user should use that lane. Once the user's vehicle turns right, the straight-ahead area returns to its original width.

[0061] In the diagram, a cursor representing an obstacle (shape 42) appears in the straight-ahead area, accompanied by a voice prompt indicating the distance of the obstacle ahead. This alerts the user. The cap plate length should be chosen from the longest available cap plate designs. The main unit possesses the basic functions of a typical smartphone, includes software for selecting options, and provides a human-computer interaction interface on the screen as needed.
