Vehicle Notification Display Layout for Non-Overlapping Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of vehicle display systems may experience confusion and discomfort due to overlaying of road traffic information and non-road traffic information notifications on limited display areas, leading to a sense of strangeness.
Innovation Solution
The system prohibits overlaying of road traffic information and non-road traffic information notifications, instead selecting and displaying only one type of notification in a single display area when space is limited, prioritizing either road traffic information or user-specific settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If overlay display is used to display multiple notifications on limited display area, then the display area utilization is improved, but the user experience deteriorates due to sense of strangeness and confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments notifications into distinct categories (road traffic information vs. other information) and applies different display rules to each category. Road traffic information notifications are displayed in a dedicated first display area, while other notifications are displayed in a second display area, preventing overlay confusion while maintaining efficient use of display space.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple types of notifications are overlaid on the same display area, then the information quantity is improved, but the information clarity deteriorates due to user confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display into multiple distinct areas with different notification types separated spatially. The first display area is dedicated to road traffic information notifications, while the second display area handles other notifications, ensuring that information from different categories does not overlay and cause confusion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different display qualities and rules to different regions of the display device. Road traffic information in the first display area receives priority treatment with specific display characteristics, while other notifications in the second display area have different display characteristics, allowing each region to optimize its information presentation for its specific purpose.

AI summary
An information notification system (10) displays a notification to a user (O) of a vehicle (1) on a display device (80). A first type notification (N1) is a notification of road traffic information (210) on a road or traffic around the vehicle (1). A second type notification (N2) is a notification of information not belonging to the road traffic information (210) or a notification that no road traffic information (210) is available. The information notification system (10) prohibits overlaying the first type notification (N1) and the second type notification (N2) when displayed on the display device (80). When the display device (80) has only a single display area (85) for displaying the notification, the information notification system (10) selects and displays one of the first type notification (N1) and the second type notification (N2) in the single display area (85).
