In-Vehicle Content Rendering Using Predicted Landscape Transitions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for in-vehicle displays that superimpose content on a traveling landscape often suffer from deteriorating visibility due to frequent changes in drawing color, which can be problematic for passenger comfort and safety.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that predicts environmental transitions outside the vehicle and optimizes the drawing method of content, including position and color, based on predicted environmental changes to maintain visibility and prevent visually induced motion sickness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the drawing color of the content is frequently changed to adapt to the changing traveling landscape, then the content can be easily identified from the background, but the visibility of the content deteriorates due to frequent color changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system predicts the future traveling landscape before the vehicle actually reaches it, using map information and vehicle position data to anticipate environmental changes. This allows the display control unit to pre-adjust content drawing parameters based on predicted conditions rather than reacting to actual changes, reducing the frequency of adjustments while maintaining visibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the drawing parameters of content based on the predicted traveling landscape. By using prediction information about future environmental conditions (such as lighting, background colors, and scenery), the display control unit optimizes content visibility in advance, balancing adaptability to changing environments with stability of display quality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the drawing color is adjusted to match the traveling landscape, then the content becomes visible against the background, but frequent adjustments cause visual discomfort to passengers
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs prediction of environmental changes before they occur, allowing the display control unit to make gradual, planned adjustments to content appearance rather than abrupt reactive changes. This preliminary action based on predicted conditions reduces sudden visual transitions that cause passenger discomfort.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the content drawing parameters are frequently changed to adapt to environment, then the content remains visible, but the complexity of control increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses map information and vehicle position data to predict future environmental conditions, allowing the display control unit to plan parameter changes in advance. This predictive approach simplifies control logic by reducing the need for continuous real-time sensing and adjustment, as changes are based on predetermined prediction results rather than constant environmental monitoring.
