Vehicle Display Layout for Destination Visibility in Forward View
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle display systems project destination icons that can obstruct the view of the scene ahead, causing annoyance to occupants, especially when the destination is close or obstructed by surrounding buildings.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle display system that adjusts the display of destination information based on the positional relationship between the vehicle and the destination, using first and second images that adapt in size, focus, and position to minimize obstruction and enhance visibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a destination icon is always displayed at the center of the display region, then the orientation information is clearly conveyed to the occupant, but the visibility of the scene ahead is impaired when the vehicle is near the destination
Solution Approach 1:
The display position of the destination icon is made dynamic rather than fixed. The icon automatically adjusts its position based on the vehicle's distance to the destination and the destination's location in the scene ahead, transitioning between center display and scene-aligned display modes to balance information clarity with scene visibility
Solution Approach 2:
Different display strategies are applied to different spatial contexts. When the destination is far away or not visible in the scene, the icon displays at the center for clear orientation information. When the destination is near and visible in the scene, the icon relocates to correspond with the actual destination position, providing localized information matching the visual context
2Loss of information
If the destination icon is displayed in the display region, then navigation information is provided to the occupant, but the occupant may feel annoyed when the icon obstructs the view of the destination in the scene ahead
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the icon's display state based on real-time conditions. When the vehicle approaches the destination and the destination becomes visible in the scene ahead, the icon automatically relocates to match the destination's position in the scene, creating a seamless integration between digital information and physical view that enhances occupant comfort
Solution Approach 2:
The destination icon serves as an intermediary that bridges digital navigation information and the physical scene. By positioning the icon to correspond with the actual destination location in the scene ahead, the system creates a harmonious relationship between the displayed information and the real-world view, eliminating the annoyance of obstructive displays

AI summary
A vehicle display device configured to display a predetermined image on a display region depicting a scene ahead of a vehicle. The vehicle display device includes memory and a processor connected to the memory. The processor is configured to acquire position information for the vehicle and position information for a destination point, and to display a first image indicating an orientation of the destination point at the display region in a case in which a relationship between the position of the vehicle and the position of the destination point satisfies a predetermined condition relating to visibility.
