E-Bike Map Display With Nearby Vehicle Position Awareness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle systems lack the ability to enhance occupant convenience during travel by providing additional useful information beyond map data on a display.
Innovation Solution
An information providing method, program, and device that acquire and display another vehicle's position information on a visually recognizable display within the vehicle, generating display information that includes the current geographical position of nearby vehicles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If map information is displayed on the vehicle display, then navigation functionality is provided, but occupant convenience is insufficient due to lack of additional useful information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines map information with another vehicle's position information on the same display screen, creating an integrated display that shows both navigation data and contextual information about surrounding vehicles. This merging of information types enhances occupant convenience by providing comprehensive awareness of both route guidance and nearby vehicle locations without requiring separate displays or information sources
2Loss of information
If only map information is provided on the display, then the display function remains simple, but the information utility for occupants is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is designed to perform multiple functions: it displays map information for navigation purposes and simultaneously displays another vehicle's position information for situational awareness. The information processing device acquires and processes multiple types of data (map data and vehicle position data) and presents them together, making the display system universal and multi-functional rather than dedicated to a single purpose
