Vehicle Image Output Device with Gaze-Adaptive Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image output devices in vehicles provide fixed displays, which do not adapt to the occupant's gaze or seat position, limiting user convenience and comfort in receiving visual information.
Innovation Solution
An image output device that adjusts its screen size and shape based on the occupant's gaze and seat position, using sensors to generate sensing information and communicate with various vehicle sensors to optimize the display area, allowing the image output area to be variable and rectangular.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed display is used in the vehicle, then the device structure is simple, but the adaptability to different occupant positions and gazes is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen dynamically adjusts its size, shape, and position based on real-time detection of occupant gaze direction and seat position. The processor receives sensing information from sensors, determines optimal display parameters, and controls the image output unit to render the screen accordingly, making the display adaptive rather than static
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where sensors continuously monitor occupant gaze and seat position, transmit this information to the processor, which then adjusts the display parameters and outputs the adjusted image. This closed-loop control enables the display to automatically adapt to changing occupant conditions
2Ease of operation
If the screen size and shape are varied according to gaze, then user convenience is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display system serves itself by automatically detecting occupant conditions through integrated sensors and adjusting its own parameters without external intervention. The processor autonomously processes sensing information and controls the image output unit to generate appropriately sized and positioned screens, eliminating the need for manual calibration or precise mechanical adjustment mechanisms
3Adaptability or versatility
If sensors are added to detect gaze and seat position, then the adaptability increases, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple sensing functions (gaze detection and seat position detection) into a unified system where sensors, processor, and image output unit work together as an integrated whole. The processor consolidates information from multiple sensors and coordinates the image output unit to produce a single adjusted display, merging detection and control functions into one cohesive system
