Abstract
A display system for a vehicle is disclosed. The display system comprises a display device disposed in a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The display device comprises a screen and at least one sensor. The display system further comprises a controller in communication with the display device and an imager configured to capture image data in a field of view. The controller is operable adjust at least one of a position and a scale of a desired view of the image data for display on the screen in response to an input received by the at least one sensor.
Claims9
A display system for a vehicle comprising:
- a display device disposed in a passenger compartment of the vehicle, the display device comprising a screen;
- a proximity sensor comprising a first directional control comprising a linear array of lateral sensors extending in a first direction along a first side of the screen and a second directional control comprising a linear array of vertical sensors extending in a second direction along a second side of the screen, wherein the first directional control and the second directional control are disposed behind a bezel and outside the perimeter of the screen;
- and
- a controller in communication with the display device and an imager configured to capture image data in a field of view, wherein the controller is operable to adjust at least one of a position and a scale of a desired view of the image data for display on the screen in response to an input received by the proximity sensor indicating a movement of an object proximate to the screen along at least one of the first direction and the second direction, and wherein the controller is configured to identify a gesture of the object proximate the proximity sensor based on a detection signal from the linear array of lateral sensors and the linear array of vertical sensors.

A display apparatus for a vehicle comprising:
- a display device disposed in a passenger compartment of the vehicle, the display device comprising a screen;
- a first linear array of sensors disposed along a first perimeter edge of the screen and configured to detect a first movement of an object along the first perimeter edge proximate to the screen in a first direction;
- a second linear array of sensors disposed along a second perimeter edge of the screen and configured to detect a second movement of the object along the second perimeter edge proximate to the screen in a second direction;
- and
- a controller in communication with the display device and an imager configured to capture image data in a field of view, wherein the controller is operable to adjust at least one of a position and a scale of a desired view of the image data for display on the screen in response to a detected movement of the object along the first perimeter edge and the second perimeter edge, where the controller is further configured to identify a gesture of the object in response to the first movement along the first perimeter edge in combination with the second movement along the second perimeter edge proximate to the screen.

A display device for a vehicle comprising:
- a display screen coupled to a rearview display housing disposed in a passenger compartment of the vehicle;
- a bezel disposed around a perimeter of the display screen;
- a first linear array of sensors disposed behind the bezel along a first side of the display screen and outside a perimeter of the display screen extending in a first direction;
- a second linear array of sensors disposed behind the bezel along a second side of the display screen and outside the perimeter of the display screen extending in a second direction, wherein the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction;
- and
- a controller in communication with the display screen and an imager configured to capture image data in a field of view, wherein the controller is configured to:
- detect a motion of an object along the first side and the second side based on communications from the first linear array of sensors and the second linear array of sensors;
- and
- adjust a position of a desired view of the image data for display on the display screen in response to a change in the position of the object along the first side and the second side.
