Systems and methods for providing gaze-based notifications

A computer system may track the user's eye gaze on a display device over time using an eye tracker. When the computer system detects a risk associated with a graphical object and determines that the user's gaze is close to the graphical object, it may display a warning message indicating the risk. The computer system may display the warning message at a location that corresponds to the graphical object associated with the risk. Furthermore, when the computer system detects a risk and determines that the user's gaze is not at the graphical object that needs the user's immediate attention, it may display a warning message near the user's current gaze to notify the user. If desired, the warning message may be hidden based on the user's gaze, such as when the user moves his gaze away from the detected risk.

VISUAL PERCEPTION ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND VISUAL-PERCEPTION TARGET OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEM

The present invention includes: a visual perception target determination unit for determining a visual perception target by using a saliency model for determining that an object to be visually perceived at a glance is a visual perception target, a surprise model for determining that an object behaving abnormally is a visual perception target, and a normative model for determining that an object to be visually perceived by a viewing action of a driver serving as a norm is a visual perception target; and a visual guidance unit for determining whether or not an overlooked visual perception to which a line-of-sight direction detected by a line-of-sight detection unit is not directed is present, and guiding a line-of-sight of a driver toward the overlooked visual perception target, when the overlooked visual perception target is present.

Vehicle display control device, vehicle display device, display control method, and non-transitory memory medium

A vehicle display control device comprising memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor being configured to perform control to detect a position of a preceding vehicle running in front of the vehicle, based on the position of the preceding vehicle, perceive whether or not an entirety of the preceding vehicle has departed from the display region, and display an acquisition image that is superimposed on or adjacent to the preceding vehicle in the display region in accordance with the position of the preceding vehicle and, when the entirety of the preceding vehicle departing from the display region is perceived, display the acquisition image as a flashing display at an end portion at a side of the display region at which the entirety of the preceding vehicle has departed.

SPEECH GUIDANCE DEVICE AND SPEECH GUIDANCE METHOD

A speech guidance device includes: a guidance object determining unit for outputting a guidance object to which a visual line of a user is guided; a visual recognition object detecting unit for detecting a visual recognition object which the user is viewing from information indicating a direction of the visual line of the user; a difference detecting unit for detecting a difference between an attribute of the visual recognition object and an attribute of the guidance object; a generating unit for generating a guidance sentence including the attribute of the guidance object; and a synthesizing unit for, when there is a difference between the attribute of the guidance object included in the guidance sentence and the attribute of the visual recognition object, synthesizing and outputting speech of the guidance sentence emphasizing a word of the attribute having the difference. Therefore, it is possible to inform the user in an easily recognizable manner that the user's visual recognition object is different from the guidance object when the user's visual recognition object is different from the guidance object.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY

The purpose of the present invention is to ensure visibilities of an actual view and a virtual image in a head-up display capable of displaying the virtual image in a virtual image display surface inclined in the depth direction of a line of sight. In a head-up display for generating a first virtual image display surface capable of displaying a first virtual image within a virtual plane inclined in the depth direction of a line of sight, a display control unit decreases visibility of the first virtual image displayed in a display-limited region farther than an obstacle traveling in front of a vehicle, and/or moves the first virtual image displayed at a farther position than the obstacle to a closer position than the obstacle.

Information provision device and information provision method
10152120 · 2018-12-11 · ·

An information provision device and an information provision method. Each of the information provision device and information provision method includes projecting an image light to a light transmission member so as to display a for-driver information image, sensing a relative distance of an object to be detected existing around the mobile object in the direction of travel, detecting a location of a viewpoint of the driver, and changing a position at which an object image indicating the object to be detected is displayed according to a result of the detecting so as to change a perception distance of the driver influenced by a motion parallax of the object image according to the relative distance of the object to be detected in the direction of travel.

Vehicle operation assistance information management for autonomous vehicle control transfer

A vehicle implementing vehicle operation assistance information management for autonomous vehicle control transfer may identify a vehicle operation assistance information item indicating a location of an expected vehicle operation control transfer, and, in response to a determination that an immanency for the vehicle operation assistance information item is within a maximum relevant immanence, present a representation of the vehicle operation assistance information item, which may include, in response to a determination that an urgency for the vehicle operation assistance information item indicates a warning urgency or an advisory urgency, controlling the primary graphical display portion and the secondary graphical display portion to present a graphical representation of the vehicle operation assistance information item, such that the primary graphical display portion presents a first portion of the graphical representation and the secondary graphical display portion presents a second portion of the graphical representation.

Three Dimensional Graphical Overlays for a Three Dimensional Heads-up Display Unit of a Vehicle
20180342107 · 2018-11-29 ·

The disclosure includes a system and method for wireless data sharing between a mobile client device and a three-dimensional heads-up display unit. A system may include a three-dimensional heads-up display unit (3D HUD) installed in a vehicle. The system may include a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: establish a peer-to-peer video stream between a mobile client device and the vehicle; generate live video data for providing a video stream for causing a screen of the mobile client device to display visual content of the 3D HUD that includes substantially live images depicting what the driver of the vehicle sees when looking at the 3D HUD; and stream the live video data to the mobile client device to cause the screen of the mobile client device to display the video stream that depicts what the driver of the vehicle sees when looking at the 3D HUD.

INFORMATION DISPLAY APPARATUS

An information display apparatus irradiates a transmissive reflection member with light for forming an image so as to make a virtual image of the image visible on the transmissive reflection member. The information display apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to control, upon a change in depth of a scene position at which to superimpose the virtual image, a degree of change in a part or an entirety of the virtual image to be displayed, differently from a degree of the change in depth.
