Vehicle Image Output Device Timeline Event Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image output devices in vehicles fail to effectively present various information to passengers in a dynamic and intuitive manner, particularly in relation to driving modes and events occurring during travel, which can distract drivers and compromise safety.
Innovation Solution
An image output device with a processor-controlled display that categorizes events into relevant and irrelevant groups, adjusting the timeline's position and graphic object sizes based on driving modes and speed, ensuring critical information is prominently displayed during manual driving while allowing for a more comprehensive view during autonomous driving.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the display shows all events occurring during vehicle travel, then passengers receive comprehensive information, but driver distraction increases and safety decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments event information into two distinct groups: first group events displayed in the first area and second group events displayed in the second area. This segmentation allows comprehensive information presentation while organizing content to minimize driver distraction by separating different types of event information into dedicated display zones.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by providing different display characteristics to different regions of the display device. The first area and second area have distinct purposes and display different event groups with different visual priorities, allowing each region to optimize its function while contributing to the overall information presentation.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the display prioritizes relevant events during manual driving, then driver safety is enhanced, but comprehensive event visibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display behavior where the position of the timeline and relative sizes of graphic objects change based on driving mode. During manual driving, the display dynamically adjusts to prioritize relevant events in the first area while maintaining visibility of other events in the second area, thus adapting to safety requirements without completely hiding information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes display parameters including timeline position and graphic object sizes based on driving mode. These parameter changes allow the display to optimize information presentation for manual driving by adjusting visual hierarchy and spatial arrangement, ensuring safety-critical information receives appropriate attention while maintaining overall event visibility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the timeline position is adjusted according to driving mode, then information relevance is optimized, but display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent manages display complexity by systematically changing specific parameters (timeline position, graphic object sizes) based on driving mode. This parameter-based approach provides adaptability for different driving conditions while maintaining manageable complexity through structured control of discrete visual elements rather than complex overall reconfiguration.

AI summary
The present invention provides an image output device which is mounted on a vehicle and a control method therefor. The image output device comprises a display and a processor which controls the display to output a timeline that displays events occurring while a vehicle is being driven, wherein the display is divided into a first area and a second area on the basis of the timeline, and the processor classifies the events into a first group and a second group according to a predetermined reference and controls the display to display a first graphic object navigating an event included in the first group on the first area, and display a second graphic object navigating an event included in the second group on the second area.
