Cockpit Multi-Screen Display Layout for Unified HUD Information Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In-vehicle display devices requiring different functions often need separate hosts, leading to complex wiring and operational inconvenience, maintenance difficulty, and reduced driver/passenger experience due to information transfer challenges.
Innovation Solution
A multi-screen cockpit display system with a first display device in front of the driver's seat, multiple head-up display devices above, and a control unit for synchronized information display, enhanced by an eye tracking module to adjust content based on user gaze direction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate hosts are used for different display devices, then each device can perform its specialized function, but the wiring becomes more complex and information transfer becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple display devices (instrument panel display, head-up display, augmented reality display) under a single host system. This consolidation allows all devices to share common control and data processing resources, significantly reducing wiring complexity while maintaining the specialized functional capabilities of each display type through software-controlled adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The single host system is designed with universal functionality to control and manage multiple different types of display devices. It can dynamically allocate resources and adapt its output to suit the specific requirements of each display device, thereby achieving functional versatility without requiring separate specialized hosts for each device.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate hosts control different display devices, then each device can be optimized independently, but maintenance and repair difficulty increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
By consolidating control functions into a single host, the system reduces the number of components that require maintenance. Technicians only need to service one central control unit rather than multiple separate hosts, significantly simplifying diagnostic procedures and repair operations while maintaining the ability to optimize each display device's performance through centralized software control.
3Ease of operation
If traditional dashboards and center consoles are replaced by flat or curved display devices, then the user interface becomes more intuitive, but the operational convenience and information transfer between functions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple display functions into a unified multi-screen system controlled by a single host. This allows seamless information transfer between different display devices (instrument panel, head-up display, augmented reality display) through digital communication networks, maintaining operational convenience while providing an intuitive modern user interface across all screens.

AI summary
A multi-screen cockpit display system is suitable for being installed in a cockpit, and includes a first display device, at least two head-up display devices and a control unit. The first display device is disposed in front of a driver's seat in the cockpit, and is suitable for displaying a first dynamic information. The at least two head-up display devices are disposed above the first display device, and are suitable for displaying a second dynamic information on a see-through window of the cockpit. The control unit is electrically connected to the first display device and the at least two head-up display devices. The control unit is suitable for providing the first and second dynamic information to the first display device and the at least two head-up display devices according to an operating state of the cockpit. Another multi-screen cockpit display system with an eye tracking module is also provided.
