Abstract
When a display query is received, the display query is evaluated and sensor data is transmitted to a display control in a vehicle computer via a first data path and displayed on a display device. A graphical user interface is loaded and transmitted to the display control unit via a second data path. The graphical user interface is synchronized with the display of the sensor data and the synchronized graphical user interface is displayed with the sensor data on the display device.
Claims19
A method for displaying sensor data from a sensor on a display, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a vehicle computer, a display query sent from a controller via a signal path outside the vehicle computer, having a predefined time requirement for processing the sensor data, the vehicle computer having multi-layered communication with multimedia systems, function control devices and the controller, including via a first data path and a second data path;
- evaluating the display query by the vehicle computer;
- transmitting the sensor data to a display control in the vehicle computer via the first data path when said evaluating of the display query reveals that the sensor data are intended to be displayed, the display control controlling the management of the display;
- displaying the sensor data on the display;
- loading a graphical user interface from a graphics generator, when the evaluation of the display query reveals that the sensor data are intended to be displayed;
- transmitting the graphical user interface to the display control in the vehicle computer via the second data path;
- synchronizing the graphical user interface with the displaying of the sensor data;
- and
- displaying the graphical user interface synchronized with the sensor data on the display.

A display system of a vehicle having a sensor device configured to acquire sensor data, comprising:
- a display device configured to display the sensor data;
- a controller configured to transmit a display query requesting display of the sensor data;
- and
- a vehicle computer having multi-layered communication with multimedia systems, function control devices and the controller, including via a first data path and a second data path and configured to
- provide display control and graphics generation,
- receive and evaluate the display query from the controller,
- supply the sensor data for the display control via the first data path when evaluation of the display query reveals that the sensor data are intended to be displayed,
- control the display device to display the sensor data,
- load a graphical user interface obtained by the graphics generation when the evaluation of the display query reveals that the sensor data are intended to be displayed,
- provide the graphical user interface for the display control via the second data path,
- synchronize the graphical user interface with the display of the sensor data, and
- control the display device to display the graphical user interface synchronized with the sensor data.
