Abstract
A mobile device, system and method for controlling a heads-up display device is provided. A mobile device is in communication with a heads-up display (HUD) device. The mobile device is enabled to: transmit a portion of display data to the HUD device for display thereupon, rather than provide the portion to a display of the mobile device; and display a remaining portion of the display data at the display. The HUD device is enabled to: receive from the mobile device the display data for display at the HUD; display the data at the HUD.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a heads-up display (HUD);
- a detection apparatus configured to detect a display device;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- render a first layer of display data at the HUD in alignment with a second layer of the display data rendered at the display device, the second layer of the display data comprising graphical indicators of fields;
- and
- when the HUD is only in partial alignment with the second layer of the display data rendered at the display device, as determined from at least one alignment indicator provided at the display device, render only that portion of the first layer that aligns with the graphical indicators of the fields of the second layer.
A method comprising:
- rendering a first layer of display data at a heads-up display (HUD), the HUD being a component of a device that includes a processor, and a detection apparatus configured to detect a display device, the first layer of the display data rendered at the HUD, by the processor, in alignment with a second layer of the display data rendered at the display device, the second layer of the display data comprising graphical indicators of fields;
- and
- when the HUD is only in partial alignment with the second layer of the display data rendered at the display device, as determined from at least one alignment indicator provided at the display device, rendering, using the processor, only that portion of the first layer that aligns with the graphical indicators of the fields of the second layer.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program, wherein execution of the computer program is for:
- rendering a first layer of display data at a heads-up display (HUD), the HUD being a component of a device that includes a processor, and a detection apparatus configured to detect a display device, the first layer of the display data rendered at the HUD, by the processor, in alignment with a second layer of the display data rendered at the display device, the second layer of the display data comprising graphical indicators of fields;
- and
- when the HUD is only in partial alignment with the second layer of the display data rendered at the display device, as determined from at least one alignment indicator provided at the display device, rendering only that portion of the first layer that aligns with the graphical indicators of the fields of the second layer.
