Gesture Camera View Selection for Multi-View Vehicle Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current in-vehicle systems for managing multiple camera views are complex and difficult to navigate, increasing the cognitive load on drivers and reducing ease of use as the number of available camera views increases.
Innovation Solution
A computing device with an external view manager, display manager, and user interface manager that receives image data from cameras, organizes camera views into circular loops with vertical viewing angles, and allows users to select active camera views through gestural inputs, simplifying navigation by determining the direction of the input to switch between camera views or loops.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the number of available camera views increases to provide more comprehensive vehicle surroundings monitoring, then the monitoring coverage is improved, but the system complexity and difficulty of navigation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the camera views into multiple loops, where each loop represents a specific vertical viewing angle. This segmentation allows the system to manage numerous camera views by organizing them into manageable groups, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a vertical dimension to organize camera views by creating multiple loops at different vertical viewing angles. This dimensional organization transforms the navigation from a flat, complex list into a structured multi-level system that is easier to navigate while providing comprehensive coverage.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number of available camera views increases to provide more comprehensive vehicle surroundings monitoring, then the monitoring coverage is improved, but the cognitive load on drivers increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting camera views into loops organized by vertical viewing angles, the system reduces cognitive load by presenting information in manageable, organized groups rather than as a single complex set of options.
Solution Approach 2:
The vertical dimension organization creates an intuitive hierarchical structure that reduces cognitive load by allowing drivers to navigate through loops systematically, making it easier to understand and manage the comprehensive monitoring coverage.
3Device complexity
If traditional navigation methods are used for selecting camera views, then the system structure is simple, but the ease of use decreases as the number of camera views increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a vertical dimension to the camera view selection interface by organizing views into multiple loops at different vertical viewing angles. This dimensional enhancement improves ease of use by creating an intuitive, structured navigation system while maintaining reasonable system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically organizes camera views into loops based on vertical viewing angles, allowing for flexible and adaptive navigation. This dynamic organization improves ease of use by automatically structuring the numerous camera views in a logical, intuitive manner.
