Vehicle Display Mode Transition via Trigger Signals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle systems lack direct support for users during transitions between different operating modes, particularly in scenarios involving automatic driving, where touch operations are not feasible, and there is a need for intuitive and user-friendly display of available operating options.
Innovation Solution
A procedure and system that automatically trigger a change in the vehicle's display mode from touch to gesture-based operation, using a trigger signal initiated by the vehicle or user actions, ensuring seamless transition and clear indication of available options through visual and acoustic signals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If the operating mode changes automatically, then the system responds quickly to driving mode changes, but the user may not be aware of the mode change and how to interact
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides visual feedback by displaying operating signals on the middle display that indicate the current operational mode and available interaction methods. This feedback loop ensures users are continuously informed about the system state and how to interact, preventing information loss despite automatic mode changes
2Adaptability or versatility
If gesture-based control is implemented, then operation is possible from removed seating position, but user may not know what gestures are available or how to use them
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by displaying gesture operation information and available gesture options on the middle display before the user needs to execute gestures. This advance information provision ensures users know what gestures are available and how to use them, eliminating the information gap that would otherwise exist

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for staging a change in the operating mode of a vehicle (22) and a system (24) for staging such a change. The method for staging a change in the operating mode of a vehicle (22) comprises the following steps: First, at least one display device (12) in the vehicle (22), which at least partially includes a screen (10), is operated. The at least one display device (12) includes at least two operating modes for use by a user. A trigger signal is automatically provided to the at least one display device (12), the trigger signal being triggered by at least one trigger event. The trigger event is provided directly or indirectly by the vehicle (22).The trigger signal initiates a change from a first operating mode to a second operating mode, whereby this change is at least partially indicated to the user by at least one operating indicator signal. In addition, a system (24) is provided for staging a change in the operating mode of a vehicle (22).
