Abstract
A method, a device and a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for identifying an exit side of a motor vehicle. In a first step, the existence of an exit situation is detected. If an exit situation exists, an exit side of the motor vehicle is ascertained. Finally, the opening of a door is simulated on the ascertained exit side. For example, a brightness can be increased on the ascertained exit side, outside sounds can be reproduced, or an air stream can be generated.
Claims7
A system for identifying an exit side of a motor vehicle having:
- circuitry, adapted for identifying the exit side of the motor vehicle using one or more of a vehicle sensor and position data;
- and
- a controller, connected with the circuitry, the controller being configured for simulating an opening of a door on the identified exit side using a stimulus in a door region on the identified exit side, wherein the stimulus simulates a possible outside environment at least before the door is opened by one or more of the group of:
- changing a luminosity of lighting;
- changing a color of lighting;
- changing a transparency of a vehicle window;
- providing sounds;
- and
- providing an air stream.
A motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle comprises a system for identifying an exit side of the motor vehicle, the system having:
- circuitry, adapted for identifying the exit side of the motor vehicle using one or more of a vehicle sensor and position data;
- and
- a controller, connected with the circuitry, the controller being configured for simulating an opening of a door on the identified exit side using a stimulus in a door region on the identified exit side;
- wherein the stimulus simulates a possible outside environment at least before the door is opened by one or more of the group of:
- changing a luminosity of lighting;
- changing a color of lighting;
- changing a transparency of a vehicle window;
- providing sounds;
- and
- providing an air stream.
