Vehicle Display Segmentation by Eye Position for Safety
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle display systems do not effectively manage content presentation to enhance driving safety and user convenience by distinguishing between viewable and non-viewable areas for the driver, potentially distracting the driver with non-driving related content.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle system that includes a display, a vision sensing unit to detect eye position information, and a controller to divide the display area into viewable and non-viewable regions based on the user's eye position and rotation angle, allowing only driving-related content to be displayed in the viewable area and non-driving content in the non-viewable area, with adjustable ratios and rotation of the display to optimize viewing angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display shows all content including non-driving related content, then user convenience is improved, but driver distraction increases and driving safety deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into multiple regions based on the driver's field of view. The controller divides the display into a first area (within field of view) and a second area (outside field of view), allowing different content to be displayed in each region. This enables driving-related information to be shown in the first area while entertainment content is displayed in the second area, thus preventing driver distraction while maintaining user convenience.
2Reliability
If the display area for driving information is increased, then driving safety is improved, but the area available for entertainment content decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system utilizes the spatial dimension of the display by creating multiple display areas in different regions. Instead of competing for the same display space, driving information and entertainment content are placed in different spatial zones (first area and second area respectively), allowing both functions to coexist without compromising either driving safety or entertainment availability.
3Ease of operation
If the display is rotated to optimize viewing angle, then user comfort is improved, but the field of view coverage changes and may reduce driving information visibility
Solution Approach 1:
The vision sensing unit continuously detects the driver's eye position and provides feedback to the controller. Based on this real-time eye position information, the controller dynamically adjusts the display rotation angle and recalculates the field of view to ensure that driving-related information remains visible within the updated first area, thus maintaining driving information visibility while optimizing viewing comfort.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a vehicle that includes a display and a rotation member that rotates the display. A vision sensing unit acquires eye position information of a user and a controller determines a first area included in a field of view of the user based on the eye position information and a rotation angle of the display. The controller then divides a display area of the display into a plurality of areas based on the first area and operates the display to display content corresponding to each of the plurality of areas.
