Vehicle Information System Display Transition Animation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern vehicle information systems experience delays and lack coherence in displaying information across multiple display areas, making it difficult for drivers to understand the transition between views and comprehend complex data during vehicle operation.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize activation and transition signals to generate a graphical animation, allowing for a smooth transition between views on multiple display areas, including a fade-in and fade-out effect, to depict a movement from one display area to another, thereby linking the display areas content-wise and providing a coherent and quick-to-understand interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple display areas are used to provide comprehensive vehicle information, then the quantity of information displayed is improved, but the coherence and ease of understanding between display areas deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into multiple display areas (first display area and second display area), each capable of showing different views independently. This segmentation allows comprehensive information display while maintaining the ability to manage each area separately for coherence.
Solution Approach 2:
A graphical animation serves as an intermediary element between different display areas and views. The animation includes visual elements that move from the first display area to the second display area, creating a coherent transition that helps users understand the relationship between different views and display areas.
2Reliability
If system startup and booting processes are executed completely, then the reliability of information processing is improved, but the time delay before information becomes available worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The system executes the complete startup and booting processes in advance before the driver needs the information. During this preliminary phase, all necessary systems are initialized and ready, ensuring reliability is established before use. The graphical animation begins during this phase to occupy the driver's attention.
Solution Approach 2:
The graphical animation acts as an intermediary that bridges the time gap during startup. It provides visual engagement during the booting process, making the delay perceptible but acceptable by occupying the driver's attention with engaging visual content.
3Adaptability or versatility
If views transition between display areas, then the adaptability of the interface is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring the transition worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The transition between views is made dynamic through animated graphical elements that move from the first display area to the second display area. This dynamic visualization makes the transition detectable and understandable, showing the relationship between different views as they change.
Solution Approach 2:
The graphical animation employs visual changes including color transitions and brightness variations to make the view transitions detectable. These visual changes help drivers perceive and understand the transitions between different display areas and views.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for operating a vehicle information system having at least a first display area and a second display area. An activation signal and a transition signal are received in succession. Graphical data for an activation animation containing a first view and a second view is generated based on the activation signal and the transition signal, and displayed by the first display area and second display area. After the activation signal is received, an appearing of the first view is output, wherein the first view has a first graphical object. After the transition signal is received, a disappearing of the first view and an appearing of the second view are output, wherein the appearing of the second view has a movement effect which depicts a movement from the first display area to the second display area. Also disclosed is a vehicle information system.
