Head-Up Display Gaze-Adaptive Layout to Prevent Sight Obstruction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The projected image of head-up displays can obscure a driver's line of sight, reducing their ability to grasp road conditions, and existing technologies struggle to dynamically adjust the display to prevent this distraction.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor, storage medium, and transceiver that uses a quantum machine learning model to dynamically adjust the display area and content of a head-up display based on the driver's line of sight, vehicle speed, and traffic flow, ensuring the display does not obscure the driver's view and provides information efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the head-up display projects more information to the windshield, then the information diversity and navigation capability are improved, but the projected image obscures the driver's line of sight and reduces road condition grasp
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the display area based on real-time detection of driver gaze position. The display region moves and resizes according to where the driver is looking, ensuring information is presented without permanently obscuring the line of sight. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making the display responsive to driver needs rather than static.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different display characteristics to different regions of the windshield. Instead of uniform display across the entire windshield, the system concentrates information in specific local areas aligned with the driver's gaze, leaving other regions clear for road observation. This local concentration of information quality resolves the contradiction between information provision and line of sight preservation.
2Loss of information
If the display area size is increased to show more information, then the information amount is improved, but the driver's reaction time is reduced due to longer information processing time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent displays only the necessary portion of information at any given moment rather than all possible information simultaneously. By selectively presenting relevant information based on driver gaze and vehicle conditions, the system provides sufficient information for safe driving without overwhelming the driver with excessive data that would extend processing time and reduce reaction speed.
3Device complexity
If the head-up display uses fixed display parameters, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different driving conditions and driver preferences is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service through automatic detection and adaptation. The system uses sensors to detect driver gaze position and automatically adjusts display parameters without requiring manual configuration by the driver. This self-adjusting mechanism provides high adaptability to different driving conditions and individual driver preferences while avoiding the complexity of manual configuration interfaces and settings management.
