Vehicle Component Display Device Superimposing 3D Images
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle inspection and maintenance processes are inefficient due to the need to display numerous manuals, making it time-consuming to locate and identify vehicle components and their connections.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle component display device and method that uses a reference shape acquisition section to superimpose three-dimensional component images on a captured vehicle image, along with a configuration diagram, allowing users to easily identify component locations and structures without manuals, and emphasizing selected components or wiring for clear visibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple manuals are displayed for vehicle inspection and maintenance, then complete component information is provided, but checking locations and identifying components takes more time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional manual pages to three-dimensional holographic images that can be viewed from multiple angles. The holographic display section projects 3D component images that rotate and zoom based on user input, allowing comprehensive viewing of component structures without flipping through multiple manual pages, thus reducing information loss while minimizing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates virtual copies of physical components through holographic imaging. The holographic display section generates three-dimensional replicas of vehicle components that can be manipulated and examined without physically accessing the actual components or consulting physical manuals, preserving complete component information while significantly reducing the time required to locate and identify parts.
2Loss of information
If traditional manual-based inspection methods are used, then detailed component data is available, but operational efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical manuals and manual component location with an automated holographic display system. The display control section automatically generates and manipulates holographic images based on user input, eliminating the need to physically search through manuals or manually locate components, thus preserving complete component data while dramatically improving operational efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The holographic display system provides self-service by automatically presenting relevant component information in three-dimensional format based on user selections. The display control section autonomously retrieves, generates, and displays appropriate holographic images without requiring the user to manually search through multiple manuals or cross-reference information, maintaining complete component data availability while enhancing productivity.

AI summary
A vehicle component display device including: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to: acquire a predetermined reference shape from a captured image of a vehicle that is captured by an imaging section; read three-dimensional data of component images corresponding to the reference shape, and display the component images at a display in a state in which the component images are superimposed on the vehicle, the display being visible to a user; display a component configuration diagram at the display together with the component images; and in a case in which a component is selected in the component configuration diagram, emphasize display of the component in the component images displayed at the display.
