Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program for producing driver information, where at least some of the driver information is produced in the form of haptic driver information on a control means of a vehicle, includes ascertaining a measure of a haptic contact between the driver of the vehicle and the control means for controlling the vehicle and producing the driver information based on the ascertained measure of the haptic contact between the driver and the control means on the control means as haptic driver information and/or producing auxiliary driver information that corresponds to the driver information and that is perceptible to the driver via a different perception channel.
Claims18
A method for producing and transmitting driver information, wherein at least part of the driver information is produced in the form of haptic driver information on a control means of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- ascertaining a measure of a haptic contact between a driver of the vehicle and the control means for controlling the vehicle;
- and
- producing the driver information based on the ascertained measure of the haptic contact between the driver and said control means on the control means as haptic driver information and/or producing auxiliary driver information that corresponds to the driver information and is perceptible by the driver via another perception channel.
A computer program product to produce and transmit driver information, wherein at least part of the driver information is produced in the form of haptic driver information on a control means of a vehicle, the computer program product comprising processor executable instructions to:
- ascertain a measure of a haptic contact between a driver of the vehicle and the control means for controlling the vehicle;
- and
- produce the driver information based on the ascertained measure of the haptic contact between the driver and said control means on the control means as haptic driver information and/or producing auxiliary driver information that corresponds to the driver information and is perceptible by the driver via another perception channel.
An apparatus configured to produce and transmit driver information, wherein at least part of the driver information is produced in the form of haptic driver information on a control means of a vehicle, wherein the apparatus is configured to:
- ascertain a measure of a haptic contact between a driver of the vehicle and the control means for controlling the vehicle, and
- producing the driver information based on the ascertained measure of the haptic contact between the driver and said control means on the control means as haptic driver information and/or producing auxiliary driver information that corresponds to the driver information and is perceptible by the driver via another perception channel.
