Description

[0001] Method for displaying a display content on a display panel

[0002] DESCRIPTION:

[0003] The invention relates to a method for displaying a display content on a display panel and a system for displaying a display content on a display panel.

[0004] A display in a vehicle can be varied as needed.

[0005] The document US 2017 / 075701 A1 describes a configuration of haptic feedback for a user interface in a vehicle.

[0006] A method for selectively changing an interface is known from document EP 2 714456 B1.

[0007] The document US 2002 / 085043 A1 describes a display system that responds to a context.

[0008] A method for adjusting a font size is known from the document WO 2015 / 047205 A1.

[0009] The document DE 10 2018 212 046 A1 describes a method for providing a display in a motor vehicle

[0010] A mechanically reconfigurable instrument cluster is described in the publication

[0011] DE 10 2015 115 865 A1 discloses a method and a display device for signaling a request to assume a driving function of a motor vehicle.

[0012] Against this background, the task was to adapt the display content of a display field in a suitable manner to meet requirements.

[0013] This problem is solved by a method and a system having the features of the independent patent claims. Embodiments of the method and system are evident from the dependent patent claims and the description.

[0014] The method according to the invention is provided for displaying or representing a display content on and / or with a display panel or display of a vehicle, e.g. a motor vehicle. In this case, a driving situation or operating situation in which the vehicle is currently located is identified and taken into account, wherein a respective, e.g. currently resulting, driving situation results from at least one currently set automation system for the vehicle during its operation, wherein this driving situation is determined, e.g. detected and / or determined, and / or, as a rule, specified, by a control unit and / or by at least one sensor of the vehicle. The display content is dynamically and / or automatically adapted depending on the respectively identified driving situation of the vehicle and continues to be displayed on and / or by the display panel.

[0015] In one embodiment, several different levels and / or modes for automating a vehicle's journey can be provided and / or made available for selection as parameters for a condition. The display content is dynamically and / or automatically adjusted depending on the respective level set as a parameter for automating the vehicle as a condition and continues to be displayed on and / or by the display panel. It is also possible for the vehicle's driving situation to be influenced by the respective level and / or mode for automation.

[0016] It is possible for a formatted list and / or table, for example, to be displayed as elements of the display content, which can be displayed, or which are to be displayed, as well as other elements of the list and / or table (where the list can be integrated into a table), to be dynamically adapted and displayed to the respectively set and / or activated automation level. It is possible for a list to be recognized in a user-friendly manner based on just two elements and thus for fewer than five elements. It is also possible to display the entire list even with a small display area, for example, by adjusting the size of the respective elements.

[0017] It is possible for a user who manually operates the display content of a usually touch-sensitive display field to move an image sequence of the display content and thus, for example, also of the list, while being able to scroll or roll through the list.

[0018] In one embodiment, an element size of at least one represented or displayed element and / or section of the display content is dynamically adapted, e.g. changed, to the driving or operating situation of the vehicle.

[0019] Furthermore, the representation of characters and / or symbols as elements to be displayed, e.g., a font comprising letters and numbers, is adapted in the display content. For example, a font type and / or a font size are dynamically selected as an exemplary element size depending on the driving situation, e.g., depending on the automation level.

[0020] Alternatively or additionally, a contrast and / or information density, e.g. a density of elements to be displayed, of the display content is dynamically selected and / or adapted depending on the driving situation, e.g. depending on the level of automation. In a further embodiment, a representation of elements of a user interface in the display content is adapted to the respective driving situation or operating situation identified, usually by sensors, e.g. to the level of automation. In the case of a touch-sensitive display field or a touch display, a touch surface and / or tap surface or touch area that can usually be operated manually by a user is dynamically adapted as a displayable element, e.g. control element, of the display content to the respective driving situation, e.g. the level, among other things with regard to its element size.

[0021] It is also possible that, in addition to a static adjustment of elements, including touch surfaces and characters, e.g. with regard to their element size, an adjustment of these elements can be made dynamically by the user above minimum ergonomic specifications, e.g. analogous to a smartphone, when he touches a respective displayed element.

[0022] The system according to the invention is designed to represent or display a display content on a display panel or display of a vehicle, e.g., a motor vehicle. The system comprises a control unit and at least one sensor of the vehicle, wherein the at least one sensor is designed to determine, e.g., identify, recognize, and / or capture a generally current driving situation of the vehicle, which is dependent at least on a generally current automation system of the vehicle. Based on such a determination of the driving situation, the control unit is designed to dynamically and / or automatically adapt the display content, generally at least one element of the display content, depending on the generally currently determined, e.g., identified, driving situation of the vehicle, and to display it in a dynamically adjusted and / or adjusted manner, usually by controlling the display panel.It is possible that several levels of automation are provided for the vehicle's journey. Taking into account the respective set and / or intended level, the control unit is designed to dynamically adjust the display content depending on this level.

[0023] In one embodiment, the system comprises at least one, usually additional, sensor designed to detect, for example, manual operation of the display panel by a user or a person, wherein the control unit is designed to adapt the display content depending on the operation. This is carried out for a touch-sensitive display panel, taking into account which part of the display content is touched. A touch sensor can be used to detect the user's fingers. A displayed element to be dynamically adapted here can be designed as a touch surface of a user interface or a user interface that is represented as display content.

[0024] Alternatively or additionally, the system may comprise at least one, usually additional, sensor configured to detect at least one person viewing the display panel as a user. The control unit may be configured to adapt the display content depending on which person is viewing the display panel and has been detected by sensors. A distinction is made between a driver and a passenger as occupants of the vehicle. Each sensor can be used to check a condition, and for each condition, several different parameters can be determined by sensors.

[0025] It is possible for one embodiment of the presented method to be implemented with one embodiment of the system. In the motor vehicle or automotive sector, it is possible to adapt the display content or its displayed elements to the driver's respective driving task, which also depends on the respective driving situation, including the level of automation. It is also possible to present the display content and the information displayed in a clearly visible or recognizable format, including displaying characters in a legible manner. In this way, ergonomic requirements can be coordinated with aesthetic requirements.

[0026] As a condition for making the display content dynamic, the current driving situation is taken into account depending on the current level of vehicle automation. A respective level can be defined and / or classified as a parameter for automation, whereby one possible level is intended for a completely manual and / or driver-controlled, e.g., driver-controlled, journey of the vehicle. Another level is intended for a completely autonomous or automated and thus machine-controlled, e.g., machine-controlled and / or machine-regulated journey. At least one level in between is intended for a partially driver-controlled and / or partially autonomous or semi-autonomous journey and thus a corresponding automation of the vehicle. In this case, driving tasks for carrying out the journey are at least partially machine-controlled by at least one assistance system of the vehicle.The levels can be country-specific, specified, and standardized by authorities and / or agencies, such as the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) and / or the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). For example, the SAE standard J3016 of the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) International can be used for this purpose.

[0027] In the case of Level 3 automation, the vehicle is mechanically controlled by the assistance system in certain defined or definable driving situations, and the driver is relieved of their otherwise required driving tasks, such as steering, braking, or accelerating, as these tasks are taken over by the assistance system. In this case, the size of the elements is reduced. The driver can also adjust their driver's seat, for example setting an angle of 40° for the backrest. In Level 4 automation, the vehicle is completely mechanically controlled by the assistance system, usually for a journey on a definable distance that the vehicle still has to cover, and the driver is completely relieved of this task, with the size of the elements being further reduced. The driver can also set a comfortable position for the driver's seat.However, the font size is adjusted to the distance from the driver's seat to the display panel, taking the driver's eyesight into account. If the driver cannot manually reach the display panel due to the distance, the element size of a control element can be reduced to 0, thus completely hiding it.

[0028] At lower levels, such as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 2+, the assistance system provides machine control for specific driving tasks. At Level 2 and Level 2+, driving tasks such as longitudinal and / or lateral guidance of the vehicle are controlled by the assistance system. However, at these levels, the driver must supervise the journey at all times, with the size of the elements being adapted to the driving task, for example, their value being reduced if the assistance system relieves them of a particular driving task.

[0029] At Level 0 automation, the vehicle is completely controlled by the driver. At Level 5 automation, the vehicle is completely controlled by the assistance system.

[0030] For manually operable elements and the font or their element size, standards such as ISO or, more commonly, country-specific guidelines, such as those issued by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) in Germany, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the USA, the Nihon Jidösha Kögyökai (JAMA) in Japan, and Android Automotive OS Design Guidelines, which define minimum ergonomic requirements for a display, can be taken into account during dynamic adaptation. Furthermore, the information density of the display content depends at least on the operable elements and the font.

[0031] In a possible driving situation, the vehicle is stationary, which is detected by the at least one sensor assigned to a drive and / or transmission of the vehicle based on a state of the drive and / or transmission if a corresponding gear, e.g., gear P for a park position, is or will be set for the transmission as a driving situation. In this driving situation (stationary and / or parked), it is provided that an element size with a first low value is dynamically set for elements to be displayed, i.e., operating elements, symbols, characters, and / or text.

[0032] Further driving situations or driving states arise during a respective journey of the vehicle, whereby it is possible to differentiate between different driving situations which depend on different conditions described below and for this purpose parameters which are generally determined by sensors and which arise and / or change dynamically during a journey, whereby several possible, alternative parameters can be determined for each condition checked as part of the method. From a combination of the parameters determined for several conditions, a result is determined in each case and a corresponding driving situation is identified which is classified according to the combination of parameters, whereby the display content is dynamically adapted and / or set depending on the currently resulting result or the correspondingly identified driving situation.

[0033] Conditions to be taken into account here arise from a respective intended and / or set level as a parameter for the automation, from at least one current and also variable kinematic operating variable of the vehicle, i.e. its location, its speed and / or its acceleration, and / or from at least one environmental or ambient condition to which the vehicle is exposed while driving, e.g. from the nature of a surface traveled by the vehicle, i.e. a roadway, in particular a street, from a traffic volume or a traffic situation at the current and / or a future location of the vehicle and / or from at least one meteorological environmental condition, such as temperature, humidity and / or air pressure, the weather or the weather in the environment or surroundings or at the location where the vehicle is currently located and / or will be. The respective element variable is / are used to, among other things,an appearance and / or aesthetics or airiness of the display content, for the user who views it, is influenced and / or shaped. Furthermore, this also influences the information density, e.g. in the case of a list as an element for which a number of entries, such as per displayed page, is quantitatively influenced as display content. A further condition that can also be taken into account is the behavior of the driver of the vehicle. This behavior is recorded sensorily, for example, by a camera that observes the driver and his gestures, and / or based on his operation of the vehicle, i.e. operation of the steering wheel and / or at least one pedal for the accelerator, brake and / or clutch, or another input device, e.g. the touch-sensitive display field.

[0034] During a particular driving situation while driving, it is or will be provided that at least one ergonomic minimum requirement, e.g. a minimum element size, is met with regard to a particular element size, which can also be adjusted by the driver of the vehicle depending on his individual eyesight and / or the size of his fingertips.

[0035] In Level 3 or Level 4, but also in or from Level 2 or Level 2+, smaller values ​​can be dynamically offered, set, and / or adjusted for the respective element sizes for automation purposes. In Level 2 or Level 2+, this may be possible after evaluation and review of the relevant approval and / or legal situation. Furthermore, in Levels 1 to 3, and therefore also for Level 2 or 2+, an element size adapted to a specific driving task, e.g., for the font or a hit area, is set with a higher or larger value. This can reduce driver distraction from the display content.

[0036] Alternatively or additionally, the possibility of the driver operating a control element is taken into account as a condition, whereby such a control element is easier to operate if a larger element size is set for it, which can result in greater accuracy, especially since it is more difficult to hit a control element manually if a small element size is set for it. In one embodiment, it is possible that the size of a fingertip of a user's largest or smallest finger is taken into account for the minimum value of the element size for a control element, but also for a distance between two control elements. By taking the driver's behavior into account, their attention to certain aspects relating to the vehicle and / or the journey can also be determined.Such aspects include the respective operation of an input device by the driver and / or their direction of gaze, whereby it is determined and / or checked where or what, i.e. which object, they are looking at, inside or outside the vehicle. For example, the element size value can be reduced if they are looking outside, e.g. at the road, but not at the display panel. Based on the determined behavior of the driver and / or their use of input devices, a workload and thus a strain or workload on the driver during the journey can be analyzed and taken into account as a further condition. If the driver is confronted with a cognitively demanding driving situation and is therefore correspondingly strained, the minimum ergonomic requirements are adhered to or at least met, for example exceeded, to support the driving task. In other, less demanding orIn stressful driving situations, a value for a particular element size can be reduced.

[0037] Furthermore, in Level 4, distraction is irrelevant and is generally not taken into account further. In a further embodiment, the setting of a seat, i.e. a driver's seat on which the driver is sitting, is taken into account as a condition. This includes, for example, a position of the seat relative to a forward direction of travel of the vehicle and / or an angle-dependent position of the seat backrest. The position also determines the distance of the driver to the display field. Depending on the distance and / or position of the backrest, e.g. in the case of a lying position, a value is set for the element size. The greater the distance between the seat, e.g. its headrest, and the display field is, the higher the value. Furthermore, the possibility of manually operating a respective control element is influenced depending on the distance. For example, the value for its element size is reduced if it can no longer be reached and therefore touched.

[0038] In one embodiment, it is possible that for each condition that is, for example, checked by sensors, at least one parameter is determined depending on a respective prevailing and / or existing driving situation, wherein such a parameter makes a statement about the respective condition and, for example, states whether the condition is met or not, wherein it is also possible that such a parameter, for example in the case of the kinematic operating variable of the vehicle or an environmental condition as a condition, can have a specific value, e.g. actual value, which is compared with at least one setpoint value provided for this purpose, e.g. a map for setpoint values, wherein the dynamic adaptation of the display content is carried out depending on a deviation of a respective current actual value of the parameter from the at least one setpoint value.

[0039] If several parameters are possible for a particular condition, it is possible that in a driving situation only one of these several parameters will generally apply to a specific condition. However, it is also conceivable that, depending on the driving situation, several parameters could apply to a condition. In a further embodiment, it is possible to take several conditions into account, with at least one parameter resulting for each of the conditions, depending on the particular driving situation, and generally only one parameter per condition. In this case, a corresponding result is determined from a combination of parameters for the conditions taken into account for the respective driving situation, and the display content is dynamically adapted and / or adjusted on the basis of this result.Since it is possible that the parameter changes dynamically for at least one condition when the driving situation changes dynamically, a new combination of the parameters for the conditions and a corresponding new result is determined, on the basis of which the display content is updated, dynamically adjusted and / or set.

[0040] It is understood that the features mentioned above and those to be explained below can be used not only in the combination specified in each case, but also in other combinations or on their own, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0041] The invention is illustrated schematically in the drawing using embodiments and is described schematically and in detail with reference to the drawing.

[0042] Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of an example of a display panel and an embodiment of the system according to the invention for carrying out a first embodiment of the method according to the invention.

[0043] Figure 2 shows a flow chart for a second embodiment of the method according to the invention.

[0044] The figures are described coherently and comprehensively. The same reference symbols are assigned to the same components.

[0045] Figures 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, and 1e each show an example of the touch-sensitive display panel 2 as a user interface (UI), which is arranged in the interior of a vehicle embodied as a motor vehicle, in different driving situations of the vehicle. In the first embodiment of the method, a display content 4 is dynamically adapted and / or adjusted for display depending on the respective driving situation or driving state. The display content comprises a list as a displayed element, which includes several lines arranged one above the other, here "Line 1," as further displayed elements. As Figures 1d and 1e show, the display content 4 also comprises a bar 6 as an operating element, and as an element shown here, which is manually operated by a hand 8 of a user, i.e., a passenger, e.g., the driver, in the interior of the vehicle.

[0046] The first embodiment of the system according to the invention comprises at least one sensor 10 and a control unit 12 as components, with which it is possible to determine the respective driving situation based on different conditions, wherein each driving situation is dependent on a parameter, e.g., a value, or on at least one such condition. Such conditions arise, among other things, from a traffic situation detected by a sensor and / or from, for example, a meteorological environmental condition in which the vehicle is located, from an automation level for at least partially or fully assisted orautomated driving of the vehicle, which is carried out by the driver, wherein the level is set by the control unit 12, by at least one kinematic operating variable of the moving vehicle, and / or by a driver's behavior, including manual operation of the display panel 2 by the driver, and / or by a viewing direction of at least one person onto the display panel 2 and the perspective of this person relative to the display panel 2, which is also detected by the at least one sensor 10, wherein the at least one person is the driver himself and / or a passenger. In one embodiment, it is taken into account whether the passenger is also viewing the display panel 2 and possibly also operating it manually. In this case, it is possible for a value for the element size to be set to a minimum value that still allows operation by the passenger.If the display panel is used solely by the driver, the minimum ergonomic requirements are met with regard to the size of the elements.

[0047] In the method, the display content 4, including an element size of at least one element that is displayed with the display content 4, is dynamically adapted and / or adjusted depending on the respective driving situation of the vehicle.

[0048] A first value for the element size, as shown in Figure 1a, results from an ergonomic specification and / or minimum requirement, whereby the value for such an element size can also be defined as a standard value that can be set and / or defined independently of a respective driving situation, for example by the user. A second and third value for the element size are shown in Figures 1b and 1c, whereby the third value is reduced compared to the second value, which in turn is reduced compared to the first value. A reduction of a value compared to the first value or standard parameter is set, for example, when the vehicle is at a standstill as the driving situation, for example when it is parked and a corresponding gear is engaged, which is detected by sensors.

[0049] To determine a further condition on which the driving situation depends, reference is made to Figures 1d and 1e. In this case, a sensor 10 designed as a touch sensor is used to determine and / or check whether a list scrolling request exists and / or is intended by the user due to manual operation. Depending on a sensor-detected acceleration (dashed arrow) of a finger 8 of his hand on the display field 2 and / or relative to the display field 2, it is detected whether the user wishes to scroll or scroll only one element or several elements, i.e. lines, of the list. In the case of a high acceleration, it can be assumed that the user does not wish to read or operate the elements of the list existing as display content 4 on the display field 2.If the finger touches a specific element selected by the user, in this case a top line of the list, for at least a definable minimum period of time, it is possible that the value of its element size is increased compared to a value for the element size of the other lines as elements. Furthermore, other settings such as an information density for elements, a contrast, and / or layout of the display content 4 can be determined. Depending on this, a respective driving situation can be determined, and the value for the element size can be dynamically adjusted and / or set.

[0050] The dynamic adjustments made as part of the process make it possible, among other things, to meet the minimum ergonomic requirements for element sizes and to ensure that display panel 2 can be used accurately and with minimal distraction. At the same time, the values ​​for element sizes can be reduced in less demanding driving situations.

[0051] The diagram in Figure 2 for explaining the second embodiment of the method according to the invention, when carried out with the system in Figure 1, takes into account a plurality of conditions B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 arranged one above the other on the left. For each condition B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, a plurality of possible parameters P1a, P1b, P2a, P2b, P3a, P3b, P4a, P4b, P4c, P4d, P5a, P5b result, wherein on the basis of at least one such parameter P1a, P1b, P2a, P2b, P3a, P3b, P4a, P4b, P4c, P4d, P5a, P5b a result Ea, Eb, Ec is determined, on the basis of which a driving situation depends in each case, on the basis of which the representation of the display content 4 of the display field 2 is dynamically adapted and / or selected.

[0052] The first condition B1 takes into account a set level for the automation of a vehicle journey, whereby it is checked whether level 3 or 4 is activated or set, whereby a parameter P1 a for "no" or P1 b for "yes" is determined.

[0053] In addition, a camera for observing the driver is used as sensor 10, which is designed to detect eyes and a viewing direction and / or perspective of the eyes relative to the display field 2 as a second condition B2. Here, it is checked, among other things, where the driver is looking and, if he is looking at the display field 2, how long he is looking at it is measured. For the second condition B2, a first parameter P2a is provided that the driver has looked at the display field 2 for at least a defined period of time of a few seconds, e.g. 3 seconds. As an alternative second parameter P2b for the second condition B2, it is provided that the driver looks outside, at the road.

[0054] Furthermore, each seat, i.e., the driver's seat and the front passenger seat, is assigned at least one sensor 10 configured as a seat occupancy sensor and / or seat belt buckle sensor. This sensor determines a first parameter P3a as the third condition B3, which indicates that the driver, or possibly only the driver, is sitting in the vehicle. An alternative second parameter P3b indicates that the front passenger, or possibly also the front passenger, is sitting in the vehicle.

[0055] A typically capacitive sensor 10 is assigned to a vehicle's steering wheel, which determines whether, for example, for how long, and how the driver operates the steering wheel. Possible parameters P4a, P4b, P4c, P4d for a fourth condition B4 also depend on the parameters P3a, P3b for the third condition B3. If the first parameter P3a has been determined for this purpose, a first parameter P4a "other" results for the fourth condition B4, which indicates that the sensor 10 does not clearly detect whether the driver is touching the steering wheel with at least one hand 8. Alternatively, a second parameter P4b "hand >= 1" can result, which indicates that at least one hand 8 is operating the steering wheel to perform a steering operation as a driving task. If the second parameter P3b is determined for the third condition B3, a third parameter P4c "hand = 1" results for the fourth condition B4, which indicates that only one hand 8 can be clearly assigned to the steering wheel. In this, for exampleIn this underdetermined case, it cannot be ensured that the driver will prepare to manually operate the display panel with their other hand. The display panel is designed to be distraction-free, while maintaining minimum requirements for the font size and element size of a control element. Alternatively, a fourth parameter P4d "Hand > 1" results, which states that both hands 8 of the driver can be assigned to the steering wheel, since they usually operate it. If it has also been determined in parallel that the driver is observing or looking at the road (parameter P2b), it can be safely assumed that only the passenger is viewing and / or intends to operate the display panel, although minimum requirements for the font size and element size of a control element can easily be undercut.

[0056] By meeting the minimum requirements for the respective element size, including font size, low-distraction operation of the display panel is enabled while the driver is engaged in at least one driving task in a given driving situation. Furthermore, it is possible to determine in advance which person is currently viewing and / or intends to operate the display panel. If it can be clearly identified that the driver is neither viewing nor operating the display panel, the minimum ergonomic requirements may be slightly exceeded.

[0057] In addition, an image sensor and / or CID or charge injection device sensor 10 is used, which is designed to determine which persons are in the vehicle. For a fifth condition B5, the first parameter P5a can be that the driver is sitting in the vehicle, and / or the second parameter P5b can be that the passenger is sitting in the vehicle.

[0058] Depending on a combination of the parameters P1 a, P1 b, P2a, P2b, P3a, P3b, P4a, P4b, P4c, P4d, P5a, P5b for the conditions B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, the control unit 12 determines three results Ea, Eb, Ec which describe different driving situations of the vehicle, wherein the display content 4 of the display field 2 is dynamically adapted and / or set depending on the result Ea, Eb, Ec and the corresponding driving situation. A first result Ea results when the parameters P1 a and P2a are determined according to a first combination, or the parameters P1 b, P2b, P3b and P4a are determined according to a second combination, wherein the driver is visually warned via the display field 4 when this first result Ea is determined.If the parameters P1 a, P2b, P3a, P4b are determined according to a third combination or the parameters P1 a, P2b, P3b, P4c, P5a are determined according to a fourth combination, a second result Eb results, wherein a low-distraction display content 4 is dynamically set and displayed for the display field 2 as the user interface. If the parameters P1 a, P2b, P3b, P4c, P5b are determined according to a fifth combination, the parameters P1 a, P2b, P3b, P4d are determined according to a sixth combination or the parameter P1 b is determined according to a sixth combination, a third result Ec results, wherein a comprehensive display content 4 is dynamically set and displayed for the display field 2 as the user interface.
