Wide-Format Infotainment Display Layout for Continuous Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In-vehicle infotainment systems with wide-format displays face challenges in visibility and convenience due to the temporary disappearance of vehicle location and path information when additional menu functions are exposed, leading to potential accidents from distracted driving.
Innovation Solution
A new cluster system design that integrates a display device with three regions, allowing the vehicle location information to remain visible on one region while displaying additional information elements on another, ensuring continuous route guidance and improved touch operation visibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a menu for controlling another function is exposed on the navigation display region, then the menu is accessible and controllable, but the position information and path information of the host vehicle temporarily disappear and route guidance cannot be continued
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple regions: a first region dedicated to navigation information (position and path), a second region for vehicle information, and a third region for additional menus. This segmentation allows each type of information to be displayed simultaneously in its designated region without interfering with others, resolving the contradiction between menu accessibility and navigation information visibility.
2Ease of operation
If the touch display region is made small to facilitate touch manipulation, then touch operation is easier, but the visibility and understanding of displayed information is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of reducing the size of individual touch regions, the solution expands into the spatial dimension by creating multiple display regions across the wide-format screen. Each region maintains adequate size for both visibility and touch operation, with the first region for navigation, second for vehicle info, and third for additional functions, allowing all elements to be sufficiently large without compromising either visibility or touch ease.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an in-vehicle infotainment system of a vehicle. The system includes a display device, storage, and a controller. The display device includes a first region, a second region, and a third region. The storage is configured to store a first information element, a second information element, and a third information element. The controller is configured to control the display device to display the first information element in the first region, the second information element in the second region, the third information element in the third region. The controller is further configured to control, based on an additional information element being displayed in the third region, the display device to display, in the first region, the first information element and the third information element.
