Vehicle Display Layout for HUD and Meter Readability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display systems for drivers, such as head-up and meter displays, often present information in a way that hinders visibility and recognition due to differing display positions and characteristics, making it difficult for drivers to grasp necessary information effectively.
Innovation Solution
A display control method and device that displays distinct images on a head-up and meter display, with the head-up display showing a first information image including a vehicle icon and character string above it, and the meter display showing a second information image with a vehicle icon and a character string below, optimized for easy recognition and understanding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the same image is displayed on both the head-up display and the meter display, then the display content is consistent across devices, but the driver cannot properly recognize necessary information due to different display positions and visibility characteristics
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by displaying different images optimized for each display device's characteristics. The head-up display shows a first image with the character string above the vehicle icon, while the meter display shows a second image with the character string below the vehicle icon. This allows each display to present information in a format suited to its specific visibility characteristics and viewing position, resolving the contradiction between content consistency and information recognition accuracy.
2Ease of operation
If the character string is arranged above the vehicle icon on the head-up display, then the information is easily readable on the head-up display, but the layout is not optimized for the meter display
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display content into two distinct images: a first image for the head-up display with the character string above the vehicle icon, and a second image for the meter display with the character string below the vehicle icon. This segmentation allows each display to have its own optimized layout, improving readability on the head-up display while also optimizing the meter display layout separately.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by creating display-specific layouts tailored to each device's characteristics. The head-up display receives a first image with upward arrangement optimized for its viewing angle and position, while the meter display receives a second image with downward arrangement optimized for its display characteristics, making the system adaptable to different display contexts.

AI summary
In a display control method, a first information image is displayed on a head-up display. The first information image includes a first vehicle icon which is a figure indicating a vehicle, and a first character string arranged above the first vehicle icon. A second information image is displayed on a meter display. The second information image includes a second vehicle icon which is a figure indicating a vehicle, and a second character string which is arranged below the second vehicle icon, and includes the first character string.
