Abstract
An information projection and control system for projecting information onto a projection area provided by a vehicle door, comprising at least one control unit that generates information, for projection onto the projection area; at least one projection device that projects the generated information onto the projection area; and at least one movement sensor that detects movements in a sensing area associated with the projection area, wherein the at least one control unit is adapted to control generation of the generated information on the basis of the detected movements.
Claims14
An information projection and control system for projecting information onto a projection area provided by a vehicle door of a vehicle, the projection area being inside of the vehicle, comprising:
- at least one control unit that generates information for projection onto the projection area inside of the vehicle,
- at least one projection device that projects the generated information onto the projection area inside of the vehicle, and
- at least one movement sensor that detects movements inside of the vehicle in a sensing area associated with the projection area inside of the vehicle, wherein the at least one control unit is adapted to control generation of the generated information on the basis of the detected movements inside of the vehicle and the at least one control unit is further adapted to adjust color, contrast, and/or brightness of the at least one projection device dependent on visibility and luminosity currently prevailing in respective surroundings of the vehicle door.
An aircraft with comprising:
- at least one aircraft door;
- and
- at least one information projection and control system for projecting information onto a projection area provided by the at least one aircraft door, the projection area being inside of the aircraft, each information projection and control system including:
- at least one control unit that generates information for projection onto the projection area inside of the aircraft,
- at least one projection device that projects the generated information onto the projection area inside of the aircraft, and
- at least one movement sensor that detects movements inside of the aircraft in a sensing area associated with the projection area inside of the aircraft, wherein the at least one control unit is adapted to control generation of the generated information on the basis of the detected movements inside of the aircraft and the at least one control unit is further adapted to adjust color, contrast, and/or brightness of the at least one projection device dependent on visibility and luminosity currently prevailing in respective surroundings of the aircraft door.
A method of operating an information projection and control system associated with at least one aircraft door of an aircraft, wherein the information projection and control system includes at least one control unit, at least one projection device, and at least one movement sensor, the method comprising:
- using the at least one control unit of the information projection and control system to generate information for projection onto a projection area of the at least one aircraft door inside of the aircraft,
- using the at least one projection device of the information projection and control system to project the generated information onto the projection area of the at least one aircraft door inside of the aircraft,
- using the at least one movement sensor of the information projection and control system to detect movements inside of the aircraft in a sensing area associated with the projection area of the at least one aircraft door inside of the aircraft,
- controlling, by the at least one control unit, generation of the generated information on the basis of the detected movements inside of the aircraft, and
- adjusting, by the at least one control unit, color, contrast, and/or brightness of the at least one projection device dependent on visibility and luminosity currently prevailing in respective surroundings of the at least one aircraft door.
