Vehicle Display Combining Primary Content With Peripheral Camera Feed
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Motion sickness is exacerbated when individuals in vehicles view stationary objects within the vehicle during acceleration, deceleration, or turns, as existing methods fail to provide a realistic visual representation of the vehicle's motion effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method that combines primary image content with secondary image content from cameras, where the secondary content represents less than 80% of the combined image content, providing a realistic impression of the vehicle's surroundings while allowing the user to focus on primary content, and adjusts image display based on acceleration and orientation information to simulate the vehicle's motion more accurately.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If secondary image content from cameras is displayed to provide a realistic impression of vehicle motion, then motion sickness is reduced, but the user's attention is distracted from primary content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by displaying secondary image content only in specific peripheral regions (side regions or corner regions) of the display device rather than across the entire display. This localized approach provides motion cues to reduce motion sickness in susceptible users while preserving the majority of the display area for primary content, thus minimizing distraction and maintaining user attention on the main content.
2Reliability
If the secondary image content occupies a large portion of the display, then the motion representation is more realistic, but the primary content becomes less visible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by confining secondary image content to specific peripheral regions (side regions or corner regions) of the display device. This ensures that the motion representation remains realistic in the designated areas while the majority of the display area is preserved for primary content, thus maintaining both realism and visibility without conflict.
3Loss of information
If the display device shows only primary content, then user attention is maintained, but motion sickness is exacerbated due to lack of motion correlation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces secondary image content as an intermediary element that mediates between the primary content and the vehicle's actual motion. This intermediary provides the necessary motion correlation to reduce motion sickness while being positioned in such a way (peripheral regions) that it does not significantly interfere with user attention on the primary content.

AI summary
A method of combining primary image content and secondary image content for display on a display device in or on a vehicle for road use is disclosed. The method comprises: providing primary image content and secondary image content, wherein the secondary image content is based on a signal provided by at least one camera of the vehicle, and the primary image content is not based on a signal provided by said at least one camera of the vehicle; and combining the primary image content and the secondary image content to generate combined image content for display on the display device, wherein combining the primary image content and the secondary image content to generate the combined image content is done in such a way that the secondary image content represents less than a predetermined percentage of the combined image content, wherein the predetermined percentage is less than 80%.
