AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In autonomous driving or automatic parking modes, it is difficult for users to operate the steering wheel buttons due to automatic control by the vehicle's systems, making it challenging to interact with the vehicle's functions.

Method used

A hologram display control device projects hologram images corresponding to the steering wheel's operation devices onto predefined areas, detects user operations, and transmits control signals to vehicle systems based on these interactions.

Benefits of technology

Enables easy operation of steering wheel buttons even during automatic control, enhancing user convenience and visibility by providing tactile feedback through holograms.

Abstract

A hologram display control device (100), comprising: a determination device (150) configured to turn on a hologram display controller in response to a user input signal; a hologram projection device (160) configured to project a first hologram image corresponding to an image of an operating device of a steering wheel (50) onto a first area (210) predefined based on a spatial coordinate system of a vehicle (10) when the hologram display controller is turned on; a detector (120) configured to detect a specified operation in a second area (220) predefined for operation detection with respect to a key operation in the first hologram image;an operation button detection device (170) configured to detect an operation button in the first hologram image based on a position at which the specified operation is detected by the detector (120); and a signal processing device (180) configured to transmit a control signal to a drive device of the vehicle (10) that is actuated by the operation button, wherein the user input signal comprises a signal for entering an automatic parking mode of the vehicle (10).
