Vehicle Camera Image Switching Identification Overlay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users find it difficult to identify which area of the camera image will be displayed when switching between multiple camera images, especially in systems where images are switched automatically based on vehicle state or user input, as the transition can be unclear and confusing.
Innovation Solution
An image display control device that includes a display and a controller, which displays identification information within the bird's eye view image before switching to a new camera image, using techniques such as overlaying different display modes, fading, and temporary black screens to ensure the user recognizes the area change, thereby enhancing user awareness of the image transition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If camera images are switched automatically or by user input, then image switching functionality is achieved, but user recognition of the switched area becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by displaying identification information for the next image area before the actual switching occurs. This allows users to anticipate and recognize the upcoming image change, resolving the information loss problem during automatic transitions.
Solution Approach 2:
Identification information acts as an intermediary element between the current and next image areas. It provides a visual bridge that helps users understand the relationship between the displayed area and the upcoming switched area, maintaining spatial awareness during transitions.
2Ease of operation
If camera images are switched in predetermined order, then switching operation is simplified, but user awareness of area change is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously displaying identification information that reflects the current or next image area. This visual feedback loop maintains user awareness of the displayed area even when switching occurs automatically in a predetermined sequence.
3Stability of the object's composition
If bird's eye view image is displayed continuously, then spatial context is maintained, but image transition visibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By displaying identification information for the next image area before switching, the system prepares users for the upcoming transition while maintaining the continuous display of the bird's eye view image. This preliminary indication ensures transition visibility without disrupting display stability.

AI summary
An image display control device according to an embodiment includes a display and a controller. The controller displays a first screen on the display. The first screen includes a first image and a second image. The first image is and image of a vehicle viewed from above. The second image is obtained by capturing a second area that is a part of a first area where is a capturing target around the vehicle. The controller displays, on the display, a third image that is switched from the second image, the third image. The third image is obtained by capturing a third area where is different from the second area. The third is selected as a part of area included in the first area. The controller displays identification information for identifying the third area within the first image, before the second image is switched to the third image.
