Vehicle Operation Device Display Unity via Hand Image Superimposition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle operation devices with separate display and operation units struggle to maintain a sense of unity and operability, as simply synchronizing displays does not effectively address the physical separation, leading to decreased usability.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle operation method where a touch operation display and a presentation display are positioned differently, allowing the user to select and move information items from the presentation display to the touch operation display, enhancing the sense of unity by displaying operation screens corresponding to selected items on the touch display.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the operation unit and display unit are provided in physically separate positions to ensure safety, then safety is improved, but the sense of unity between the operation unit and display unit deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a camera to capture the driver's hand image and superimposes it on the display unit, creating a visual copy of the hand position. This allows the driver to see their hand's position on the remotely located display unit, maintaining the sense of unity and spatial relationship between the operation unit and display unit while keeping them physically separated for safety.

AI summary
A vehicle operation device includes a touch operation display (10); a presentation display (20) that is arranged farther from a driver's seat than the touch operation display and that displays a plurality of information items; and a processing device (30) that, in response to a predetermined selection operation on the touch operation display (10), erases a display of one information item, selected from the plurality of information items displayed on the presentation display (20), from a screen on the presentation display (20) and that displays an operation screen, corresponding to the erased information item, on the touch operation display (10).
