Vehicle Windshield Display for Dynamic Sensor Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing in-vehicle display systems are inconvenient for drivers due to fixed installation locations and limited data output, failing to adapt to various driving events or passenger demands, thereby hindering vehicle operation efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle display system with sensors and a controller that adjusts data display based on operation mode, passenger information, and environmental factors, including a screen on the front glass, to provide a customizable and dynamic information interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a display device is installed within a vehicle with a fixed location and small display size, then the device structure is simple and installation is easy, but the driver's convenience in checking data is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a fixed, small display to a head-up display projected on the windshield, effectively moving the display from a two-dimensional panel to a three-dimensional spatial projection that overlays information in the driver's field of view, thereby increasing accessible display area without adding physical device bulk
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a camera and image processing system as intermediaries to capture real-world data (vehicle surroundings, traffic signs) and transform it into displayable information, enabling the display to show dynamic environmental data rather than just static vehicle status
2Adaptability or versatility
If a display device outputs only preset data types, then the device complexity is low, but the ability to cope with various driving events and passenger demands is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display content that automatically adjusts based on detected driving events, vehicle state, and passenger presence. The display transitions from static preset information to dynamic adaptive content that responds in real-time to changing conditions, enhancing versatility without requiring manual configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates sensors and cameras that continuously monitor driving conditions and feed this information back to the display system. This feedback loop enables the display to automatically adjust its content based on real-time vehicle state, surrounding environment, and detected passenger needs, making the system adaptable to various events
3Adaptability or versatility
If a display device has a fixed installation location, then the installation process is simple, but the display cannot adapt to different viewing needs and driving conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal display system that serves multiple functions: it displays vehicle status information, navigation data, traffic sign recognition, surrounding environment monitoring, and passenger detection results. This multi-functional approach allows a single display installation to adapt to various viewing needs and driving conditions without requiring multiple specialized displays
