Augmented Depiction Grouping for Vehicle Display Clarity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented depiction technologies struggle to effectively combine and prioritize multiple pieces of additional information in a vehicle's surrounding environment, particularly in dynamic scenes, leading to cluttered and difficult-to-read displays.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that group and adaptively overlay virtual information in the background of a display, allowing for intuitive interaction and prioritization based on relevance, distance, and events, with options for 2D or 3D depiction and manual or event-controlled selection, enabling clear and chronological presentation of information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple pieces of additional information are displayed individually in the augmented depiction, then complete information is provided, but the display becomes cluttered and difficult to read
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple pieces of additional information into a single group information element. When multiple data items (e.g., speed, distance, temperature) are available, they are merged into one consolidated display unit that shows all relevant information together, preventing display clutter while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments information display into two distinct modes: individual piece display and group information display. The system automatically segments and groups related information items together, allowing users to switch between viewing individual detailed information or consolidated group information based on current needs.
2Loss of information
If all pieces of additional information are displayed simultaneously, then comprehensive information is available, but the priority and relevance of individual pieces becomes difficult to distinguish
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different visual properties to different pieces of information within the group based on their priority and relevance. High-priority information items are displayed with prominent visual characteristics (such as larger size, brighter color, or different positioning), while lower-priority items have subdued visual properties, allowing users to quickly distinguish important information without missing comprehensive data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically changes display parameters (such as size, brightness, position, or visibility) of individual information pieces within the group based on their priority level and current relevance to the driving situation, enabling precise information hierarchy differentiation while maintaining comprehensive information display.
3Measurement precision
If virtual information is continuously adapted to match real objects in dynamic scenes, then accurate allocation is achieved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary grouping and prioritization of information items before they are displayed. By pre-organizing information into logical groups and assigning priority levels in advance based on predefined criteria (such as information type, distance, or driving relevance), the system reduces real-time processing complexity while maintaining accurate allocation to corresponding real objects in dynamic scenes.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for augmented depiction of at least one piece of additional information in at least one image of a surrounding environment, in particular a vehicle surrounding environment, is disclosed. The image forms a background of a display, where several pieces of additional information to be depicted are compiled into at least one group and are output as a piece of group information in the background.
