Vehicle Display Layout for Hidden-Content Prevention Across Screen Gaps
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In vehicle display systems with multiple adjoining displays, non-display regions cause discontinuity in content display, leading to uncomfortable viewing experiences, especially when important information is obscured by these regions.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle display system that detects the occupant's head position, angle, and line of sight to execute a hiding prevention process, ensuring important information is displayed on the appropriate display screen, thereby maintaining content continuity across multiple displays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If multiple medium-sized displays are installed side by side to reduce cost, then device cost is reduced, but content continuity is broken due to non-display regions at display edges
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts content display positions based on real-time detection of occupant head position and line of sight. The content is repositioned to account for non-display regions at display edges, ensuring continuity is maintained despite the physical separation caused by multiple displays. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by making the display system adaptive rather than static.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes display parameters (content position, size, and orientation) based on detected occupant characteristics. By modifying these parameters in real-time, the system ensures that content appears continuous across multiple displays while accommodating the non-display regions, thus resolving the contradiction between using multiple displays and maintaining content continuity.
2Stability of the object's composition
If content display position is adjusted according to occupant line of sight and eye level to maintain continuity, then content continuity is maintained, but important content may not be displayed depending on relative positional relationship
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously detects occupant head position and line of sight, then uses this feedback to adjust content display positions. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that important content is always positioned within the occupant's field of view while maintaining continuity, resolving the contradiction between continuity and information visibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection of occupant characteristics and pre-positions important content in optimal locations before the occupant actually views it. This preliminary action ensures that when the occupant looks at the display, important content is already in the correct position, preventing information loss while maintaining continuity.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a single large display is installed to maintain content continuity, then content continuity is improved, but device cost increases compared to multiple medium-sized displays
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary control mechanism that coordinates multiple medium-sized displays to function as a unified continuous display. By using software-based content positioning and coordination, the system achieves the effect of a single large display while maintaining the cost advantages of multiple smaller units, thus resolving the contradiction between continuity and cost.
