Vehicle Display Synchronization via Preliminary Indicator Image
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vehicle display devices often start presentations independently, leading to a lack of congruence with other display devices, as they have different startup times after power supply activation, resulting in an incongruent user experience.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle display device that synchronizes its opening presentation with another display device by displaying a predetermined image, such as an indicator needle image, until the startup is complete, and then changes its display position to perform the presentation, ensuring a unified and cohesive visual experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the image display device starts opening presentation independently based on its own startup timing, then the device can begin its presentation without waiting for other devices, but this results in a lack of congruence and unified feeling with other display devices
Solution Approach 1:
The image display device displays a predetermined image (such as an indicator needle image) in advance before the opening presentation starts. This preliminary display ensures that the screen is not blank during the startup period, and allows the device to start its presentation independently while maintaining visual congruence with other display devices that may be starting at different times.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the image display device displays a predetermined image until opening presentation starts, then the feeling of congruence with other display devices is improved, but the device cannot display actual information during the startup period
Solution Approach 1:
The predetermined image serves as a placeholder that maintains visual congruence during the startup period. Once the opening presentation starts, the predetermined image is replaced by actual information display, ensuring that information is shown as soon as the presentation begins without prolonged delay.
Solution Approach 2:
The opening presentation is designed to start quickly after the predetermined image is displayed, minimizing the time during which actual information is delayed. The transition from predetermined image to information display is rapid, reducing the impact of information loss.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the image display device changes display position of the predetermined image after opening presentation starts, then the presentation can be performed dynamically, but the display position must be carefully managed to maintain congruence
Solution Approach 1:
The display position of the predetermined image and subsequent presentation elements can be changed dynamically after the opening presentation starts. This allows for animated transitions and adaptive display arrangements while maintaining congruence with other display devices through coordinated position changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The initial display position of the predetermined image is set in advance to ensure proper alignment and congruence with other display devices. Subsequent position changes are managed through the opening presentation sequence, allowing dynamic adjustments while maintaining overall coordination.

AI summary
A vehicle display device includes an image display device disposed in front of a driver aboard a vehicle, and configured to display thereon at least information on traveling conditions of the vehicle, the image display device including an image display region. When an operation input turning on a power supply of the vehicle is provided, the image display device starts an opening presentation thereon in conjunction with the start of an opening presentation on another display device disposed in front of the driver. The image display device displays thereon a predetermined image in a part of the image display region until starting the opening presentation after the operation input is provided.
