Vehicle Display Switching With Migrating Host Vehicle Image
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle systems with multiple display units struggle with poor visual association of host vehicle images when switching displays, leading to separate impressions and confusion for vehicle occupants.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle-mounted device with a detection unit that detects a switching condition, controlling the host vehicle image to migrate between multiple display units, ensuring seamless integration and association through methods like altering coloring or transparency, and completing migration when the accelerator is activated or a specified speed is reached.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the host vehicle image is displayed separately on multiple display units without migration, then each display unit can function independently, but the visual association of the host vehicle image deteriorates and creates separate impressions for occupants
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display of the host vehicle image across multiple display units by implementing continuous migration of the image between units. Instead of treating each display unit independently, the system combines them into a unified visual experience where the host vehicle image continuously moves from one display to another, maintaining visual association and preventing fragmented perceptions among occupants.
2Ease of operation
If the host vehicle image migrates between display units during switching, then visual association is improved, but the risk of creating a moving illusion increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes and transparency adjustments to the host vehicle image during migration between display units. By modifying the visual properties of the image (such as making it semi-transparent or changing its color intensity), the system maintains visual association while reducing the realism of the movement, thereby preventing occupants from perceiving it as actual vehicle motion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic control of the host vehicle image during migration, adjusting parameters such as transparency, color, and motion speed based on the migration state. The image transitions smoothly between display units with controlled dynamics, ensuring that the movement is perceptible enough to maintain association but subdued enough to avoid creating a harmful moving illusion.
3Adaptability or versatility
If display switching occurs frequently among multiple display units, then display flexibility is improved, but the time required for stable image presentation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-planning and pre-executing the migration of the host vehicle image before display switching is fully completed. The system initiates the image migration process in advance, so that by the time the display switching finishes, the image has already reached its target position and stabilized, eliminating delays and ensuring seamless transitions.

AI summary
A vehicle-mounted device includes: a detection unit that detects satisfaction of a pre-specified switching condition for switching a predetermined display among a plurality of display units, the plurality of display units being provided at the vehicle, and the predetermined display including a host vehicle image representing the vehicle; and a display processing unit that, in a case in which the detection unit detects that the switching condition is satisfied, performs processing to display the host vehicle image at the plurality of display units such that the host vehicle image migrates between the plurality of display units.
