Abstract
An indoor display apparatus of a vehicle may include a vehicle state inputter configured to receive a vehicle state, a front detector configured to detect an object ahead of a vehicle, a flip-dot display installed at a top of a cockpit module, and being configured to implement a pixel by rotating a flip disk, an illuminator installed around the flip-dot display, and being configured to illuminate the surface of the flip-dot display, and a controller configured to receive an operation mode of the vehicle from the vehicle state inputter, to receive a distance to the object and a direction of the object from the front detector, and to operate the flip-dot display and the illuminator.
Claims18
An indoor display apparatus of a vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle state inputter configured to receive a vehicle state;
- a front detector configured to detect an object ahead of a vehicle;
- a flip-dot display installed at a top of a cockpit module, and being configured to implement a pixel by rotating a flip disk;
- an illuminator installed around the flip-dot display, and being configured to illuminate a surface of the flip-dot display;
- a controller configured to receive an operation mode of the vehicle from the vehicle state inputter, to receive a distance to the object and a direction of the object from the front detector, and to operate the flip-dot display and the illuminator;
- and
- an illuminance sensor configured to detect an ambient brightness of the vehicle,
- wherein in response to the object being detected and the distance to the object being within a threshold, the controller is further configured to operate the illuminator according to the ambient brightness, and to operate the flip-dot display to reflect light of the illuminator according to the detected direction and motion of the object.
A control method of an indoor display apparatus of a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving, by a controller, a vehicle state and a result of detecting an object;
- determining, by the controller, whether the object is detected while the vehicle travels, according to the vehicle state and the result of the detection of the object;
- and
- operating, by the controller, a flip-dot display and an illuminator according to a distance to the object and a direction of the object, in response to the object being detected while the vehicle travels,
- wherein the operating of the flip-dot display and the illuminator comprises receiving, by the controller, ambient brightness from an illuminance sensor, operating the illuminator according to the ambient brightness in response to the distance to the object being within a threshold, and operating the flip-dot display to reflect light of the illuminator according to the detected direction and motion of the object.
