Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional driver guiding systems fail to differentiate between caution and warning situations effectively and do not provide real-time information on the occurrence of warning situations, making it difficult for drivers to quickly recognize potential hazards.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle system that includes a controller and processor to collect driving information, determine a view mode based on vehicle speed and direction, and transform images from a camera system to display state information through a display screen, allowing drivers to easily recognize their driving state and potential risks using a state bar for each direction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional driver guiding systems display information with the same viewpoint, then the system structure is simple, but the driver cannot easily differentiate between caution and warning situations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedifferentiation accuracyVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different viewpoint information for different directions. The display controller selectively provides first viewpoint information for a first direction and second viewpoint information for a second direction, allowing the driver to differentiate between caution and warning situations in different spatial contexts without overwhelming system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the driving information display into multiple directional viewpoints. By dividing the information presentation into direction-specific segments (first direction viewpoint, second direction viewpoint), the system enables precise differentiation of driving states while maintaining manageable complexity through modular information organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of time

If conventional systems do not provide real-time warning images, then the system is simpler, but the driver cannot quickly recognize the position where warning situations occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition timeVSAvoidreal-time processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by capturing and preparing viewpoint information in advance for different directions. The system obtains first viewpoint information and second viewpoint information beforehand, then selectively provides the appropriate viewpoint based on the current driving state, enabling rapid recognition without complex real-time processing during critical moments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the viewpoint provision adaptive to changing driving states. The display controller dynamically selects which viewpoint information to provide based on the current driving state, allowing the system to respond quickly to changing conditions without requiring complex real-time image generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides extended view capabilities through view transformation, then the driver's situational awareness is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveview adaptation capabilityVSAvoidimage processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by creating virtual viewpoint representations of the driving environment. Instead of complex real-time 3D rendering, the system obtains viewpoint information that represents different directions and selectively provides these copied perspectives to the driver, achieving view adaptation with reduced processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A driving information guide apparatus of a vehicle includes a controller and a processor. The controller is communicatively connected to at least one of a sensor system and a communication device of the vehicle, and receives driving information of the vehicle. The processor collects driving information received through the controller while the vehicle runs and recognizes a current driving state of the vehicle based on the driving information. The processor determines a view mode based on a speed of the vehicle and a driving direction of the vehicle, and view-transforms images taken around the vehicle by a camera system based on a position and an angle of a virtual camera corresponding to the determined view mode. The processor thereby generates a view transformation image, and displays state information corresponding to the recognized driving state of the vehicle through the view transformation image on a display screen of the vehicle.
