Abstract
An information supply method is a method of causing a computer of a terminal device equipped with a camera and mounted in a mobile object to execute: a process of acquiring images captured at different times; a process of predicting whether the mobile object has an intention to turn right or left based on the images captured at the different times; and a process of displaying an image for an alarm about presence of a traffic participant on a display provided on a casing in which the camera of the terminal device is provided based on a result of the estimation.
Claims8
An information supply method of causing at least one processor of a terminal device equipped with a camera and mounted in a mobile object to execute instructions stored in at least one memory of the terminal device, the instructions comprising:
- acquiring images captured at different times;
- rotating a first image captured at a first time at a predetermined angle in a left or right direction using a reference position as a starting point;
- comparing a second image captured at a second time different than the first time with the first image rotated at the predetermined angle;
- and
- predicting whether the mobile object has an intention to turn right or left based on a result of the comparing;
- detecting a traffic participant that has a possibility of interfering with the mobile object based on a third image that is included in the images captured at different times, and
- notifying an occupant of the mobile object of the traffic participant near the mobile object by displaying an image representation of an alarm representing a presence of the traffic participant on a display device provided on a casing in which the camera of the terminal device is provided based on a result of an estimation and the traffic participant that has a possibility of interfering with the mobile object.
A non-transitory computer storage medium storing an application program causing a computer of a terminal device to execute a process of:
- acquiring images captured at different times;
- rotating a first image captured at a first time at a predetermined angle in a left or right direction using a reference position as a starting point;
- comparing a second image captured at a second time different than the first time with the first image rotated at the predetermined angle;
- and
- predicting whether the mobile object has an intention to turn right or left based on a result of the comparing;
- detecting a traffic participant that has a possibility of interfering with the mobile object based on a third image that is included in the images captured at different times, and
- notifying an occupant of the mobile object of the traffic participant near the mobile object by displaying an image representation of an alarm representing a presence of the traffic participant on a display device provided on a casing in which the camera of the terminal device is provided based on a result of an estimation and the traffic participant that has a possibility of interfering with the mobile object.
A terminal device comprising:
- a camera provided in a casing;
- a display provided in the casing;
- and
- a processor configure to:
- rotating a first image captured at a first time at a predetermined angle in a left or right direction using a reference position as a starting point;
- comparing a second image captured at a second time different than the first time with the first image rotated at the predetermined angle;
- and
- predicting whether the mobile object has an intention to turn right or left based on a result of the comparing;
- detecting a traffic participant that has a possibility of interfering with the mobile object based on a third image that is included in the images captured at different times, and
- notifying an occupant of the mobile object of the traffic participant near the mobile object by displaying an image representation of an alarm representing a presence of the traffic participant on a display device provided on a casing in which the camera of the terminal device is provided based on a result of an estimation and the traffic participant that has a possibility of interfering with the mobile object.
