Vehicle Information Display Selection for Privacy-Safe Projection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle display systems fail to consider user privacy and security, and autonomous driving systems often set large intervehicular distances, making it difficult to save parking space and require complex device operation.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle information display system with sensors and display means that select display destinations based on user detection and content, and a vehicle control system that recognizes user gestures to move the vehicle, ensuring privacy and ease of use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If user personal information and share car usage information is displayed on the vehicle display, then users can confirm their information, but privacy and security-related information may be exposed to others in the vicinity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by projecting information onto specific local areas such as the user's hand or body parts. The projection location is dynamically selected based on the type of information - personal information is projected onto body parts that can be concealed (hand, arm, leg), while non-personal information can be displayed on external surfaces. This creates different display qualities for different information types, allowing privacy protection while maintaining usability.
2Reliability
If autonomous driving systems set large intervehicular distances, then vehicle safety is improved, but parking space utilization deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the intervehicular distance adjustable rather than fixed. The system dynamically adjusts the distance based on operational context - maintaining larger distances during autonomous operation for safety, but reducing distances when manual control is engaged or during parking operations. This allows the system to optimize both safety and space utilization at different times.
3Measurement precision
If complex device operation is required for autonomous vehicle control, then control precision is improved, but ease of use deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling gesture-based control that allows users to naturally interact with the vehicle system using intuitive hand movements. The system automatically recognizes gestures and executes corresponding commands without requiring users to learn complex operation procedures. This maintains control precision through accurate gesture recognition while dramatically improving ease of use.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system effectively displays information while protecting user privacy and security, and allows easy vehicle maneuvering to desired locations using intuitive gestures.
Implementation Method 1
a drawing light for projecting the information to an outside of a vehicle
Implementation Method 2
a sensor for detecting a user... the sensor detects at least a part of the body of user in a projection range

AI summary
An information displaying technology for a vehicle that makes it possible to protect the privacy and security of a user who is outside of the vehicle when information is displayed to the user. A vehicle information display system (101) is provided with a plurality of display units (114) comprised of a display (116), drawing lights (117), and a road surface (119), and a control unit (111) for controlling the display units (114), and the control unit (111) includes a display destination selection unit (113) that selects a display unit (114) according to the information to be displayed. Furthermore, a sensor (121) is provided that measures the environment on which information is displayed. The display destination selection unit (113) selects the drawing lights (117) or the display (116) as the display destination.
