In-Vehicle Display Control for External Misrecognition Risk
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a risk that videos displayed on an on-vehicle display device can be mistakenly recognized as lamp devices by drivers of peripheral vehicles, compromising safety.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that determines the condition of the outside of a vehicle using sensors and communication, assesses the misrecognition risk of the displayed video based on brightness information, and imposes display restrictions to prevent misrecognition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a video is displayed on an on-vehicle display device to provide entertainment and information to occupants, then the viewing experience and information access are improved, but the risk of peripheral vehicle drivers mistakenly recognizing the video as a lamp device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of peripheral vehicles and evaluates misrecognition risk before the video display causes harm. The condition determination section detects peripheral vehicles in advance, and the risk degree determination section assesses the potential for misrecognition before the video is displayed or adjusted, allowing preventive measures to be taken.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary evaluation mechanism between the video display and the peripheral driver's perception. The risk degree determination section acts as an intermediary that evaluates whether the video content could be misrecognized as a lamp device, and the display control section uses this evaluation to mediate the display behavior, preventing harmful misrecognition while maintaining useful video display.
2Illumination intensity
If the brightness of the display is increased to improve visibility for occupants, then the video viewing quality is improved, but the likelihood of misrecognition as a lamp device by external drivers increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts display brightness based on real-time conditions. The display control section modifies the brightness of the video display according to the determined misrecognition risk degree, which varies with external conditions such as the presence of peripheral vehicles and ambient lighting conditions. This dynamic adjustment allows the display to maintain optimal visibility for occupants while reducing misrecognition risk when external vehicles are present.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the brightness parameter of the display based on the evaluated misrecognition risk. When the risk degree is determined to be high, the display control section adjusts the brightness parameter to a lower level to prevent misrecognition as a lamp device, while maintaining sufficient visibility for internal occupants. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction between brightness and misrecognition risk.
3Reliability
If display restrictions are imposed to prevent misrecognition by external drivers, then external safety is improved, but the viewing experience and information access for internal occupants deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different display qualities to different situations based on local conditions. The display control section imposes display restrictions only in specific local conditions where misrecognition risk is high (when peripheral vehicles are detected and risk degree is elevated), while maintaining full display functionality in situations where no external vehicles are present or risk is low. This localized application of restrictions preserves external safety without unnecessarily degrading the overall viewing experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies partial display restrictions rather than complete restrictions. The display control section selectively adjusts brightness or applies content-based restrictions only to the extent necessary to prevent misrecognition, rather than completely blocking the video display. This partial action approach maintains sufficient viewing quality for occupants while providing adequate protection against external misrecognition.

AI summary
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing system for providing a safe viewing space in the interior of a vehicle while taking safety in the outside of the vehicle into consideration. A condition determination section determines the condition of the outside of a subject vehicle according to outside-vehicle information regarding the outside of the subject vehicle. A risk degree determination section determines a degree of misrecognition risk of a video being displayed on a display section disposed in an interior of the subject vehicle from the outside of the subject vehicle according to the determined condition of the outside of the subject vehicle and brightness information regarding the video. A display control section imposes a display restriction on the video according to the degree of misrecognition risk. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a system that provides a video content viewing space to an occupant in a vehicle.
