Abstract
A method and a system for displaying at least one navigation instruction of a navigation system in a vehicle, a section of the vehicle's surroundings being recorded by a camera and displayed as an image sequence of the surroundings by a display unit, the navigation instruction being likewise displayed by the display unit, and, when the vehicle is moving, the position of the at least one navigation instruction within the image sequence of the surroundings being changed as a function of the movement of the surroundings occurring relative to the vehicle.
Claims20
A method for displaying at least two navigation instructions of a navigation system in a vehicle, comprising:
- recording a section of surroundings of the vehicle using a camera;
- displaying as an image sequence the surroundings by a display unit;
- displaying the at least two navigation instructions by the display unit, wherein, when the vehicle is moving, positions of the at least two navigation instructions within the image sequence of the surroundings are changed as a function of a movement of the surroundings occurring relative to the vehicle;
- detecting at least one of a curve and a change in elevation in an expected trajectory of the vehicle;
- and
- adapting an appearance of at least one of the at least two navigation instructions so that:
- in the case of the detected curve, the at least one adapted navigation instruction is turned in accordance with the curve, and
- in the case of the detected change of elevation, the at least one adapted navigation instruction is at least one of stretched and compressed in accordance with the change in elevation,
- wherein the display unit displays the at least two navigation instructions in the image sequence simultaneously and repeatedly along a course of a roadway in front of the vehicle, and wherein a distance interval between the at least two navigation instructions is varied in dependence on a vehicle speed in such a way that a distance of the interval between the simultaneously displayed at least two navigation instructions increases along with an increase in the vehicle speed.
A system for displaying at least two navigation instructions of a navigation system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a camera adapted to record a section of surroundings of the vehicle;
- and
- a navigation unit and a display unit, by which both the at least two navigation instructions and a recorded section of the vehicle's surroundings are representable as an image sequence of the surroundings, wherein, when the vehicle is moving, the at least two navigation instructions within the image sequence of the surroundings are variable in position calculated by the system as a function of movement of the surroundings occurring relative to the vehicle;
- wherein the navigation unit detects one of a curve and a change in elevation in an expected trajectory of the vehicle,
- wherein the navigation unit adapts an appearance of at least one of the at least two navigation instructions so that:
- in the case of the detected curve, the navigation unit turns the at least one adapted navigation instruction in accordance with the curve, and
- in the case of the detected change of elevation, the navigation unit at least one of stretches and compresses the at least one adapted navigation instruction in accordance with the change in elevation
- wherein the display unit displays the at least two navigation instructions in the image sequence simultaneously and repeatedly along a course of a roadway in front of the vehicle, and wherein a distance interval between the at least two navigation instructions is varied in dependence on a vehicle speed in such a way that a distance of the interval between the simultaneously displayed at least two navigation instructions increases along with an increase in the vehicle speed.
