AR Display Frame Positioning for Vehicle Windshield Scene Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems for vehicles fail to effectively display content in a manner that integrates it seamlessly with the viewed scene, distracting drivers with separate information overlays rather than embedding it naturally within their visual field.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that sets a frame for content superimposition based on the movement state of the user, allowing visual information to be generated and displayed as if it is part of the scene's objects, such as buildings, by adjusting size, shape, and contrast according to the object's distance and lighting conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If content is displayed as a separate overlay on the windshield, then information is presented to the driver, but the content appears disconnected from the real scene causing visual distraction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the content display with the real scene by projecting content onto specific regions of the windshield that correspond to actual objects in the driver's visual field. The display control unit integrates content with the real scene by superimposing them in matching regions, making the content appear as if it is part of the real environment rather than a separate overlay, thereby reducing visual distraction while maintaining information presentation.
2Loss of information
If AR image is displayed far when vehicle speed is fast, then information is presented to the driver, but the content does not appear naturally integrated with the moving scene
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of content display parameters based on vehicle speed. The setting unit changes the display distance and positioning of content according to the vehicle's current speed, making the content appear at appropriate distances that match the driver's perception of the moving scene. This dynamic adaptation ensures content remains naturally integrated whether the vehicle is moving slowly or quickly.
3Adaptability or versatility
If content is superimposed on objects in the scene, then information integration is improved, but the content may become invisible or illegible under certain lighting conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality adjustment by modifying display parameters specifically for content regions based on their corresponding real-world object characteristics. The display control unit adjusts brightness, contrast, and other visual properties of content according to the lighting conditions of the specific object it is superimposed on, ensuring each content region is optimally visible for its local environment while maintaining overall scene integration.

AI summary
The present technique relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and a moving body that can appropriately display content on top of a scene viewed by a user.An aspect of the present technique provides an information processing apparatus that sets a frame as a superimposition location of content in a region corresponding to a surface of an object on the basis of a movement state of a user and generates visual information for displaying the content in the region corresponding to the set frame. The present technique can be applied to an apparatus that performs AR display of content.
