Vehicle Facility Information Display System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing autonomous vehicle systems lack the capability to effectively provide passengers with information about facilities and attractions along their travel route, limiting the engagement and promotion of local businesses and attractions.
Innovation Solution
A processing apparatus and method that acquires facility information containing advertisements or publicity for facilities along a vehicle's travel route, processes images of these facilities, and displays them on a vehicle's display, enhancing the promotion and advertisement of both primary and secondary facilities, while allowing user input for image adjustments and simulating acceleration effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If autonomous vehicle systems focus only on mobility function, then vehicle operation is simple and reliable, but passenger information provision capability is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous vehicle system is enhanced to perform multiple functions: not only mobility control but also facility information acquisition, image processing, and advertisement display. The control unit integrates navigation data with facility database queries, enabling the vehicle to simultaneously navigate and provide commercial information to passengers without requiring separate dedicated systems.
Solution Approach 2:
A facility information database serves as an intermediary between the vehicle's navigation system and the passenger information display system. The database receives location data from the navigation system, processes it to identify nearby facilities, and returns structured information for display, mediating between raw positional data and passenger-facing advertisements.
2Productivity
If the vehicle displays only primary facility images, then information accuracy is high, but advertising effectiveness is limited
Solution Approach 1:
Facility information is segmented into hierarchical levels: primary facilities (main destination or nearest attraction) and secondary facilities (surrounding businesses or alternative attractions). The control unit selectively displays primary facility images for accurate navigation guidance while incorporating secondary facility advertisements to enhance commercial effectiveness, allowing both accuracy and advertising goals to be met simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
Different display zones or time periods are assigned different information qualities. Primary facility information maintains high accuracy for navigation-critical displays, while secondary facility advertisements can have more promotional or varied content characteristics. This local differentiation allows the system to maintain information accuracy where needed while maximizing advertising effectiveness in appropriate contexts.
3Loss of information
If the vehicle provides comprehensive facility information, then passenger information needs are met, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic information updates rather than continuous data acquisition and display refreshes. The control unit queries the facility database at predetermined intervals or at key navigation milestones, processing and displaying information batches rather than continuously. This periodic operation maintains information completeness for passengers while significantly reducing computational load and energy consumption compared to continuous real-time processing.

AI summary
A processing apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit is configured to acquire facility information containing an advertisement or publicity on a facility located along a travel route that a vehicle is scheduled to travel or a facility located within a predetermined range from the travel route, and, while the vehicle is traveling along the travel route, process an image of a first facility associated with the facility information or an image of a second facility present around the first facility based on the facility information and display the image of the first facility or the image of the second facility on a display provided in the vehicle.
