Abstract
Technologies are generally described for displaying information in a head up display of a vehicle. In one example, an information acquisition unit is configured to obtain data from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle. An information display unit is coupled to the information acquisition unit and the information acquisition unit is further configured to determine a display location based on the data obtained from the one or more sensors. The information acquisition unit is configured to control the information display unit to display information at the determined display location.
Claims23
A head up display device for a vehicle, comprising:
- an information display unit;
- a light sensor;
- and
- an information acquisition unit coupled to the information display unit, the information acquisition unit configured to:
- obtain light data from the light sensor,
- obtain acceleration and speed data of the vehicle,
- determine a horizontal display location based on a comparison of the acceleration and speed data of the vehicle with a preset threshold speed associated with a predetermined display location,
- control the information display unit to display information at the determined display location, and
- vary the brightness of the information displayed at the determined display location based on the light data.
A method of displaying head up information in a vehicle, comprising:
- obtaining a current speed of the vehicle;
- comparing the current speed of the vehicle with a preset threshold speed to determine a display location of the head up information;
- displaying the information at the display location;
- obtaining light data from a light sensor;
- and
- varying the brightness of the information displayed at the display location based on the light data.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to being executed, causes a processor of a head up display device for a vehicle to:
- obtain acceleration and time data from at least an acceleration sensor and initial speed data of the vehicle;
- determine a current speed of the vehicle based on the initial speed data and integration of the acceleration data over the time data;
- determine a horizontal display location based on a comparison of the current speed of the vehicle with a preset threshold speed associated with a predetermined display location;
- display the information at the determined horizontal display location;
- obtaining light data from a light sensor;
- and
- varying the brightness of the information displayed at the determined horizontal display location based on the light data.
A head up display device for a vehicle, comprising:
- an information display unit;
- a light sensor;
- and
- an information acquisition unit coupled to the information display unit, the information acquisition unit configured to:
- obtain light data from the light sensor,
- obtain velocity data of the vehicle,
- determine a horizontal display location based on a comparison of the velocity data of the vehicle with a preset threshold velocity associated with a predetermined display location,
- control the information display unit to display information at the determined horizontal display location,
- vary the brightness of the information displayed at the display location based on the light data.
