[0027] The procedure described helps prevent or reduce motion sickness. Motion sickness is a well-known problem and is particularly prevalent when combined with other activities while driving. seniorsbluebook.com / articles / motion-sickness-and-how-to-stop-it recommends avoiding other activities that use visual stimuli to distract the brain from the dynamics experienced in the vehicle and promote motion sickness through the resulting mismatch between what is seen and felt. At the same time, for passengers who are not actively involved in the driving task (for example, back seat passengers), the avoidance of visual stimuli can lead to limited use of the journey time during extended stays in the vehicle (for entertainment purposes, but also for working, reading, etc.). In addition to other activities, other effects promote motion sickness for passengers in the rear of the vehicle.However, the described procedure allows for more secondary activities by counteracting kinetosis, thus increasing the vehicle's usable time. Methods and devices for reducing or preventing kinetosis are disclosed, for example, in US 2019 / 0047498 A1 and US 2022 / 0020119 A1.

[0028] A motor vehicle within the meaning of this disclosure is, for example, a land vehicle that can be used individually on the road. Motor vehicles within the meaning of this disclosure are not limited to land vehicles with internal combustion engines.

[0030] Fig. 1 shows a motor vehicle 1 in a schematic diagram, which in Fig. 2 is shown in a partial interior view. The motor vehicle 1 comprises an operating device 4 arranged in an exemplary embodiment in a dashboard 5 of the motor vehicle 1. The operating device 4 comprises a Fig. 3, for the variable presentation of information, above which a transparent touchscreen 11 is arranged. It can be provided that the operating device 4 further comprises an actuator 13 for generating haptic feedback. The operating device 4 is coupled to a bus system 25 via a display controller 10 and serves to operate an infotainment system 20, an automatic climate control system 21, a navigation system 22, a telephone 23 and a communication interface 24. For this purpose, operating elements are shown on the display 12, wherein a touch of the touchscreen 11 in the area of ​​a shown operating element leads to a corresponding execution of a function of the motor vehicle 1 represented by the operating element. Also connected to the bus system 25 are an instrument cluster 3 arranged next to a steering wheel 2, a voice control device 26, a Fig. 4 rear display control 9 shown in a schematic diagram for controlling a Fig. 1, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, a vehicle control system 27, a driver assistance system 30 and a head-up display HUD 6 are coupled. The driver assistance system 30 comprises a surroundings camera 7 for recording an image of the surroundings of the motor vehicle 1 in front of the motor vehicle 1 and a driver assistance control system 28. The driver assistance system 30 can be designed, for example, as a lane change assistance system and / or as a lane keeping assistance system. Fig. The rear display control 9 shown in Figure 4 comprises a horizon determination module 42 which determines a horizon HZ which is the input variable to the image generator 41.

[0031] Fig. 6 shows the rear display 8 according to Fig. 5, wherein a mixed image is shown which has a functional area 82 and an ambient image area 81, wherein the functional area 82 overlays the ambient image area 81 so that the latter forms an edge area that frames the functional area 82. Reference numeral 80 denotes an (artificial) horizon which is firmly coupled to the functional area 82 and the ambient image area 81 or the corresponding mixed image.

[0032] Due to the fixed coupling between the horizon 80 and the functional area 82, the functional area 82 is as in Fig. 7, when the motor vehicle 1 decelerates, the horizon 80 is shifted upwards. Due to the likewise fixed coupling between the horizon 80 and the surrounding image, the surrounding image area 81 is also shifted accordingly, so that a slightly modified section of the surrounding image is visible as the surrounding image area 81. It can be provided that the (artificial) horizon 80 is visible - as shown. However, it can also be provided that the (artificial) horizon 80 is not displayed, or at least not displayed as a line.

[0033] Due to the fixed coupling between the horizon 80 and the functional area 82, the functional area 82 is as in Fig. 8, when the motor vehicle 1 accelerates, the horizon 80 is shifted downwards. Due to the likewise fixed coupling between the horizon 80 and the surrounding image, the surrounding image area 81 is also shifted accordingly, so that a slightly modified section of the surrounding image is visible as the surrounding image area 81.

[0034] In the representations according to Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the functional area 82 overlaps the surrounding image area 81 such that the surrounding image area 81 is not visible in the area occupied by the functional area 82. A variation is shown Fig. 9, Fig. 10 and Fig. 11. Fig. 9 according to the situation Fig. 6, but the functional area 82 is replaced by a transparent functional area 83. In this way, the surrounding image area 81 is also visible in the area covered by the functional area 83. In a corresponding manner, Fig. 10 a modified representation of the situation according to Fig. 7 (Motor vehicle 1 decelerates, ie the motor vehicle nods off). Fig. 11 shows a modified representation of the situation according to Fig. 8 (Motor vehicle 1 accelerates, ie the motor vehicle nods out).

[0035] Fig. 12 shows a modified representation of the situation according to Fig. 6. Motor vehicle 1 does not accelerate or decelerate, but (as shown in the illustrations according to Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10 and Fig. 11) drive through a curve. Unlike the representation according to Fig. 6 is shown in the illustration according to Fig. 12, the functional area 82 is replaced in an optional embodiment by a functional area 84. The functional area 84 is inclined relative to the functional area 82.

[0036] In the representation according to Fig. 12, the functional area 84 overlaps the surrounding image area 81 such that the surrounding image area 81 is not visible in the area occupied by the functional area 84. A modification shows Fig. 13. This corresponds to Fig. 13 according to the situation Fig. 12, but with the functional area 84 replaced by a transparent functional area 85. In this way, the entire surrounding image area 81 is visible.

[0037] Fig. 14 shows a modified representation of the situation according to Fig. 6 or Fig. 12. Motor vehicle 1 neither accelerates nor decelerates. However, it is negotiating a curve. Unlike the representation according to Fig. 6 and the representation according to Fig. 12 is shown in accordance with Fig. 14, the functional area 84 is replaced in an optional embodiment by a functional area 86. The functional area 86 is distorted compared to the functional area 82. In an exemplary embodiment, the distortion occurs such that the functional area 86 is narrower on the outside of the curve than on the inside of the curve.

[0038] In the representation according to Fig. 14, the functional area 86 overlaps the surrounding image area 81 such that the surrounding image area 81 is not visible in the area occupied by the functional area 86. A modification shows Fig. 15. Fig. 15 according to the situation Fig. 14, but the functional area 86 is replaced by a transparent functional area 87. In this way, the entire surrounding image area 81 is visible.

[0039] The functional areas 84, 85, 86 and 87 can be coupled to the horizon 80 in a similar way to the functional area 82 and can be shifted accordingly during deceleration or acceleration. To implement the functional areas 84, 85, 86 and 87, Fig. 4, variables such as steering angle LW, lateral acceleration QB, or speed V of the motor vehicle 1 are transmitted to the image generator 41. In addition or alternatively, all 6 degrees of freedom (x, y, z, yaw, pitch, roll) including speeds and / or accelerations, curve inclination (route geometry), and / or information from the active chassis (e.g., active inclination) can be transmitted.

[0040] Another variation shows Fig. 16. In a modification of Fig. 6, the functional area 82 is not framed by an environment image area 81 but by a neutral edge area 91. Reference numeral 80 denotes an (artificial) horizon which is firmly coupled to the functional area 82. Due to the firm coupling between the horizon 80 and the functional area 82, the functional area 82 is as in Fig. 17 is shifted upwards when the motor vehicle 1 decelerates. Due to the fixed coupling between the horizon 80 and the functional area 82, the functional area 82 is shifted as shown in Fig. 18 shown when the motor vehicle 1 accelerates downwards.

[0041] Fig. 19 shows a further modification of the representation according to Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17 and Fig. 18. The horizon or a horizon line is implemented as a boundary line 89 between two differently formatted parts 81A and 81B of the surrounding image area 81 and / or the functional area 82 or a mixed image from the surrounding image area 81 of the functional area 82. Different formatting can be implemented, for example, by different coloring or using different dominant colors.

[0042] Fig. 20 shows a further modification of the representation according to Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17; Fig. 18 and Fig. 19. In the form provided for in Fig. 20, the rear display 8 includes a touchscreen for entering commands. The rear display 8 can be constructed in a similar manner to the display 10 in Fig. 3, if necessary also with haptic feedback. In this case, an operating area 95 and / or an operating area 96 for operating the functional area 82 can be displayed using the rear display 8. It can be provided that the operating area or the position of the operating area - as in the exemplary embodiment, the operating area 95 - is coupled to the horizon 80 or - as in the exemplary embodiment, the operating area 96 - is independent of the movement of the horizon 80. The operating area 95 and / or the operating area 96 enables, in particular, specific settings of the functional area 82 or the edge area. These settings can relate to the selection of the edge area and / or a decision regarding the transparency and / or a tilting of the functional area and / or a distortion of the functional area.In general, it can be provided that operating area 95 and / or the operating area 96 comprise animated buttons, sliders and / or rotary knobs that enable switching to another type of representation of this disclosure.

[0043] Fig. 21 shows a further modification or addition to the representation according to Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17; Fig. 18, Fig. 19 and Fig. 20. An animation 97 of a device for providing an artificial horizon is shown by means of the rear display 8.

[0044] Fig. 23, Fig. 24, Fig. 25, Fig. 26 and Fig. 27 show further modifications or additions to the illustration according to Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17; Fig. 18, Fig. 19, Fig. 20 and Fig. 21. In particular, supplementary areas 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, and 57 are provided. The supplementary areas 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56 can be provided as a supplement to the display 8 or as an area displayed by the display 8.

[0045] The supplementary areas 51 and 52 in Fig. 23 indicate in a first color a slight acceleration or an expected (for example, as a pre-emptive announcement) slight acceleration. The supplementary areas 53 and 54 in Fig. 24 indicate in a first color a strong acceleration or an expected (for example as a foresighted announcement) strong acceleration.

[0046] In a second color, which is different from the first color, the supplementary areas 51 and 52 show in Fig. 23 indicates a slight delay or an expected (for example, as an advance notice) slight delay. In the second color, the supplementary areas 53 and 54 show Fig. 24 a significant delay or an expected (for example, as a forward-looking announcement) significant delay.

[0047] The supplementary area 55 in Fig. 25 indicates a right turn or an expected right turn (for example, as an advance warning). The supplementary area 56 in Fig. 26 indicates a left turn or an expected (for example, as a pre-announcement) left turn.

[0048] Fig. Figure 27 shows a supplementary area 57, which is integrated into or superimposed on the image of the display 8. In one embodiment, the supplementary area 57 displays both acceleration and yaw rates, particularly as a predictive announcement. Functions such as TravelAssist plan the path and thus the trajectory of a vehicle. This also allows acceleration and yaw rates for the next few seconds to be determined, which in the present example is used as a predictive indicator and / or to avoid or reduce latencies: - This design includes, for example, advance floating display adjustment so that the occupant or user can adjust to the perception in good time. - This design makes it possible to minimize transmission latencies, which are often perceived as unpleasant. - This design also allows the display of expected acceleration curves, which can be color-coded, for example.

[0049] It can therefore also be provided that the representations or effects in relation to the functional area according to Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17; Fig. 18, Fig. 19, Fig. 20 and Fig. 21 refers to a current latency-corrected state or to a future state, for example, expected in a few seconds. A few seconds can be understood, for example, as a range between 1 and 3 seconds.

[0050] To implement this function, the driver assistance system 30 or the driver assistance controller 28 can transmit predictive values ​​to the horizon determination module 42, so that the image generator 41 can take into account the horizon-dependent movement of the functional area without latency. Predictive values ​​of variables such as the steering angle LW, lateral acceleration QB, or speed V of the motor vehicle 1 can also be used for this purpose.
