Vehicle Side Display Layout for Front-Rear View Correlation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle camera systems that display both front and rear views side by side cause user confusion due to inversion of the rear video image, making it difficult to grasp the correlation between the two views.
Innovation Solution
An image processing system that acquires video images from cameras mounted on both sides of a vehicle, processes the images to include vehicle ends in the frames, and displays the rear video image non-inverted when the front image is shown, and inverts it when the front image is not displayed, using adjacent display regions to maintain the correlation between the views.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the rear video image is inverted and displayed in the rear display region, then the display conforms to traditional electronic side mirror conventions, but the user cannot easily grasp the correlation between the front video image and the rear video image when displayed side by side
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the inversion state of the rear video image changeable based on the display content. When the front video image is displayed in the second display region, the rear video image is displayed without inversion to maintain spatial correlation. When the front video image is not displayed, the rear video image is inverted to conform to traditional electronic side mirror conventions. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between convention compliance and spatial correlation preservation.
2Productivity
If the front video image and rear video image are displayed side by side in two display regions, then both views are visible simultaneously, but the inverted rear video image causes user confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making different parts of the display system have different inversion properties based on local context. The rear video image displayed in the rear display region has its inversion state determined by whether the front video image is displayed in the second display region. This localized adaptation allows each display region to optimize its presentation based on the overall display configuration, resolving the contradiction between efficient information display and user comprehension.

AI summary
An image acquisition unit configured to acquire video image data of a front video image captured in front of a movable apparatus and a rear video image captured in rear of the movable apparatus, and a display unit configured to display a video image on a right side or a left side of the movable apparatus are provided, the display unit has a rear display region in which the rear video image is displayed and a second display region in which second information is displayed, and, in a case in which the front video image is displayed in the second display region, the rear video image is displayed in the rear display region without inverting the rear video image, and, in a case in which the front video image is not displayed in the second display region, the rear video image is inverted and displayed in the rear display region.
