Vehicle Periphery Display Regions for Speed-Based Blind Spot Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle information display systems, such as those on mirrors and display apparatuses, can cause driver distraction and are difficult to implement in vehicles with limited space, like motorcycles, leading to excessive notifications and reduced effectiveness in notifying peripheral information.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle equipped with a vehicle periphery detection sensor, speed sensor, and multiple display regions that adjust vehicle periphery information display based on detected speed, using sensors to determine blind spots and adjust indicator positions accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If vehicle information is always displayed on the mirror, then the driver can access vehicle information, but excessive notifications are given to the driver causing troublesomeness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display regions movable rather than fixed. The display regions move to different positions on the mirror surface based on the vehicle's traveling speed, allowing the system to adapt the information presentation to current driving conditions and reduce unnecessary notifications
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by dividing the mirror into multiple display regions with different functions. Each region can display different types of vehicle information, and the system selectively activates and positions specific regions based on speed conditions, providing localized information presentation rather than uniform display across the entire mirror
2Loss of information
If display apparatuses are moved to notify vehicle information, then the driver can recognize information as needed, but it is difficult to apply to vehicles with limited moving space such as motorbikes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical movement system with an optical/electronic solution. Instead of physically moving display apparatuses through mechanical actuators, the system uses a stationary display device that renders graphical representations of information at different positions on the mirror surface, achieving the effect of movement without mechanical complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates visual copies of information display at different positions on the mirror surface. The display device generates multiple virtual display regions that appear at different locations based on speed conditions, allowing the system to simulate physical movement through optical copying rather than actual mechanical relocation

AI summary
A vehicle that reduces troublesomeness and appropriately notify vehicle peripheral information. The vehicle includes a vehicle periphery detection sensor that detects a periphery environment of the vehicle; a speed sensor that detects a speed of the vehicle; and a plurality of vehicle periphery information display regions that display vehicle periphery information detected by the vehicle periphery detection sensor, and the vehicle periphery information display regions to be displayed are changed in accordance with the speed detected by the speed sensor.
