Transparent Vehicle Display Control for Accurate Scene Superimposition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing see-through systems struggle to appropriately superimpose content on a scene visible from within a vehicle or mobile body.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that includes a recognition section to identify the scene through a transparent or translucent display surface, and a display control section to manage the display of content based on the recognized scene.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If content is superimposed on a captured image of a scene outside a vehicle using a monitor inside the vehicle, then content can be displayed to users, but the immersion and appropriateness of content superimposition are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display surface with the vehicle window, creating a transparent display that combines the functions of a window and a display device. This allows content to be superimposed directly on the actual scene visible through the window, enhancing appropriateness and immersion while avoiding the complexity of separate monitor systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a transparent display surface as an intermediary between the user and the external scene. This mediator allows light from the external scene to pass through while also displaying content, achieving appropriate content superimposition without blocking the view or requiring complex internal monitor systems.
2Ease of operation
If a transparent or translucent display surface is used to show content on the vehicle window, then content can be superimposed on the visible scene, but the display may interfere with the visibility of the external scene
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of display brightness and transparency based on environmental conditions such as ambient light levels and scene characteristics. The display surface adjusts its properties in real-time to maintain optimal visibility of both the external scene and the superimposed content, resolving the contradiction between display visibility and scene visibility.
3Reliability
If content is displayed on a monitor inside the vehicle, then content can be shown to users, but the user experience and information delivery effectiveness are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display function with the vehicle window to create an augmented reality experience where content is superimposed directly on the external scene. This integration significantly improves information delivery effectiveness and user experience by allowing users to view both the real world and digital content simultaneously without shifting attention between separate display devices.

AI summary
Provided are an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing system that are able to appropriately superimpose content on a scene visible from within a mobile body. The information processing apparatus includes a recognition section and a display control section. The recognition section recognizes a scene visible from within the mobile body through a transparent or translucent display surface provided in the mobile body. The display control section controls display of the content on the display surface according to the recognized scene.
