Head-Up Display Area Control for Driver Line-of-Sight Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The projected image of head-up displays (HUDs) can obscure a driver's line of sight, reducing their ability to grasp road conditions effectively.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that dynamically adjusts the display area of a head-up display using a quantum machine learning model, taking into account the driver's line of sight, gaze duration, vehicle speed, and traffic flow to prevent information overload and optimize display positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the head-up display projects instrument information to the windshield, then the driver can access navigation and vehicle data without looking down, but the projected image may obscure the driver's line of sight and reduce road condition visibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the display area based on real-time detection of the driver's line of sight. The system continuously monitors eye position and adjusts the HUD projection area to avoid obscuring the driver's view while maintaining information accessibility. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making the display area variable rather than fixed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses eye-tracking technology to detect the driver's line of sight and feeds this information back to adjust the display area. The feedback loop continuously monitors whether the projected image is obscuring the driver's view and automatically adjusts the display parameters to eliminate the obscuration while preserving information delivery.
2Loss of information
If the head-up display shows diverse augmented reality information, then the driver receives comprehensive navigation and environment data, but the driver may experience information overload that reduces attention and comprehension
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by adjusting the display area based on the driver's line of sight position. When the driver's gaze is detected to be focused on a specific area, the system modifies the display characteristics in that local region, showing more detailed information where the driver is looking while reducing information density in other areas, thereby preventing information overload.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements partial action by selectively displaying information only in the relevant portion of the windshield that corresponds to the driver's line of sight. Rather than projecting all available information across the entire windshield, the system displays only the subset of information that is currently relevant to the driver's attention, reducing overall information load while maintaining comprehensive coverage of necessary data.

AI summary
An electronic device (100) and a method for configuring a head-up display are provided. The method includes: obtaining a first coordinate value corresponding to a line of sight of a driver, and obtaining a statistic value corresponding to the first coordinate value; inputting the first coordinate value and the statistic value to a quantum machine learning (ML) model (200) to obtain a first estimated statistic value; and configuring a display area (400) of the head-up display according to the first coordinate value and the first estimated statistic value.
