Verfahren zur Anzeigesteuerung von unterschiedlichen Informationen in einem Fahrzeug und optoakustische Informationseinheit

WO2005021314 A UPAB: 20050506 NOVELTY - The system is for control the display of different items of information for a driver (DRV), while driving, using a dual view display (DISP) which can also be used by the front seat passenger (PASS). The actual line of the driver's vision is detected continuously and automatically for relevant information (NAV) relating to the journey to be shown without delay when the driver looks at the display. In the intervals, when the driver is not looking at the display, alternative information (MEDIA) is displayed. The driver's line of vision is established by a static or dynamic detection process with a video camera (CAM) monitor of the turning of the head and/or eye movement. The evaluation action uses only a binary decision (THR) whether the driver is actually looking at the display or not. USE - The dual view display is placed in the center console, between the driver and the passenger. ADVANTAGE - The system gives immediate information for the driver when needed, in a display which is comfortable to use and which is safe and does not affect the driving performance. The front passenger also has access to additional information when the driver is concentrating on the road ahead.
