Abstract
A method for displaying a graphical representation for an arrangement including a vehicle body, a device for displaying the graphical representation including a storage unit for storing digital data, at least one display being integrated into a front segment of the vehicle, and/or a rear segment of the vehicle, and a control unit for controlling the display, the display including a face intended for readout of the graphical representation and oriented toward the exterior. The method includes selecting, via the control unit, an animation script and image stored beforehand in the storage means, the image especially being a three-dimensional representation of an object, especially a logo.
Claims20
A method for displaying a graphical representation for an arrangement comprising a vehicle body, a device for displaying the graphical representation comprising a digital data storage, at least one display integrated in a front portion of a vehicle and/or a rear portion of the vehicle, and processing circuitry, the display comprising a face configured to play the graphical representation and oriented toward outside of the vehicle, the method comprising:
- selecting, via the processing circuitry, an image and an animation script previously recorded in said digital data storage, the selecting including;
- receiving a predetermined encrypted signal, when the vehicle is in a sleep state, in which the vehicle is locked;
- after the receiving, bringing the vehicle from the sleep state, in which the vehicle is locked, into a wake-up state;
- after the bringing, selecting a graphical representation according to a first image and a first animation script by the processing circuitry;
- and
- after the selecting the graphical representation, sending to the display a signal associated with the selected graphical representation.
A device for displaying a graphical representation, the device comprising:
- at least one display integrated in a front portion of a vehicle and/or a rear portion of the vehicle, the display comprising a face configured to play the graphical representation and oriented toward outside of the vehicle;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to select an image and an animation script previously recorded in a digital data storage, the selecting including:
- receiving a predetermined encrypted signal, when the vehicle is in a sleep state, in which the vehicle is locked,
- after the receiving, bringing the vehicle from the sleep state, in which the vehicle is locked, into a wake-up state,
- after the bringing, selecting a graphical representation according to a first image and a first animation script by the processing circuitry, and
- after the selecting the graphical representation, sending to the display a signal associated with the selected graphical representation.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for displaying a graphical representation for an arrangement comprising a vehicle body, a device for displaying the graphical representation comprising a digital data storage, at least one display integrated in a front portion of a vehicle and/or a rear portion of the vehicle, and processing circuitry, the display comprising a face configured to play the graphical representation and oriented toward outside of the vehicle, the method comprising:
- selecting, via the processing circuitry, an image and an animation script previously recorded in said digital data storage, the selecting including:
- receiving a predetermined encrypted signal, when the vehicle is in a sleep state, in which the vehicle is locked;
- after the receiving, bringing the vehicle from the sleep state, in which the vehicle is locked, into a wake-up state;
- after the bringing, selecting a graphical representation according to a first image and a first animation script by the processing circuitry;
- and
- after the selecting the graphical representation, sending to the display a signal associated with the selected graphical representation.
