  • Patent number: 11934188
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method, to a device, and to a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for monitoring the movement of a transportation device. In one embodiment, first, information about the trajectory of the transportation device is received by a mobile device. The trajectory is then displayed on a display unit of the mobile device in the form of an augmented reality representation. In response thereto, an input of the user of the mobile device for influencing the trajectory is detected. Finally, information is transmitted to the transportation device on the basis of the input of the user.

  • Patent number: 11904688
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for calculating an overlay of additional information for a display on a display unit. The overlay of additional information may support the driver in the longitudinal control of a vehicle. The overlaying of the additional information may be configured in the form of augmented reality such that it is calculated in a contact analogue manner in relation to one or more objects in the environment of the vehicle. When approaching a vehicle, a spatially extended animation graphic is calculated, wherein the animation graphic has a grid shape consisting of a plurality of grid elements, which extends from the observer vehicle up to the oncoming or preceding vehicle. The spatial extension is calculated such that the driver of the observer vehicle (10) has the impression of a kinematic or dynamic movement of the spatial extension, such as translation and rotation.

  • Patent number: 11845463
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for the improved visualization of a notice in a motor vehicle. A contact-analog head-up display places information in direct contact with the environment. In contrast to conventional head-up displays, the information appears as part of the environment. Some embodiments provide an information container that is placed at a distance x from the vehicle which grows corresponding to the reduction of the distance x, and is placed fixed relative to the environment to produce the effect of a container located in reality. The necessity of an interaction may be communicated by the element remaining stationary. That is, shortly before the position of the information container is reached, it remains immobile in the field of vision and is “pushed” in front of the ego vehicle. This makes it immediately apparent that an operation is needed to acknowledge the pop-up respectively to thereby trigger an action.

  • Patent number: 11486726
    Abstract: A method for calculating an overlay of additional information for a display on a display unit, in particular, a head-up display of a transportation vehicle or data glasses. The overlay of additional information supports the driver in the longitudinal control of a transportation vehicle. The position of an upcoming waypoint is detected, which is specified by the navigation system. When the observer transportation vehicle approaches the waypoint, an animation graphic is calculated, wherein the animation graphic has a grid shape. The animation graphic is calculated so that distance markers are inserted from the observer transportation vehicle to the waypoint, which permit estimation of the distance to the waypoint.

  • Publication number: 20220277496
    Abstract: A park assistance system for a motor vehicle is presented that has a distance sensor system for generating a sensor signal depending on a lateral distance to an object. A computing unit of the park assistance system generates graphics data based on the sensor signal, and contains an augmented reality system for superimposing a graphic element onto a field of view of a driver. An extension of the graphic element along a vertical axis depends on a value of the distance.

  • Publication number: 20220250474
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for human-machine interaction in a motor vehicle, wherein a first graphical element is superimposed into a visual field of a user via an AR system such that the element is arranged within a display region. A scrolling input signal is detected via an input interface and a sensor system to determine a highlighted direction. Using a computing unit, a scrolling path is determined on the basis of the highlighted direction. Using the AR system, the first graphical element is moved out of the display region along the scrolling path, depending on the scrolling input signal.

  • Publication number: 20220105805
    Abstract: A head-up display and methods for providing a lane-related visual assistance function with a head-up display for a motor vehicle. Information is obtained regarding a driving lane currently travelled on by a motor vehicle. A characteristic value is obtained, which describes an uncertainty regarding the lane-related display of a virtual object serving as a visual assistance function with the head-up display. At least one virtual object is displayed as a visual assistance function, wherein the object is displayed such that it runs along at least a portion of the lane from the perspective of the driver, wherein a length of the object along the lane is defined according to the magnitude of the characteristic value.

  • Patent number: 11021103
    Abstract: A method for enhancing a field of view of a driver of a transportation vehicle with supplementary information, in which the supplementary information is depicted via a display unit display. Observation of the surroundings of the transportation vehicle takes place and, in response to the observation of the surroundings having detected a relevant object for which a potential significance arises, the relevant object is depicted on the display unit and the relation to the real object is emphasized in the field of view of the driver by the depicted object being visually highlighted in an environmentally synchronous state with respect to the real object. Also disclosed is an appropriately designed apparatus for use in an observer transportation vehicle, an appropriately designed apparatus for use in an object, and a transportation vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11017745
    Abstract: A method, a computer-readable storage medium with instructions, a device, and a system for calibrating a pair of augmented-reality glasses in a transportation vehicle and a transportation vehicle and a pair of augmented-reality glasses suitable for the method. A set of points in an interior of the transportation vehicle is illuminated sequentially. At least a subset of the illuminated points are captured by a camera arranged in the pair of augmented-reality glasses. Through a comparison of the subset of the illuminated points that have been captured by the camera with a known geometry of the set of points, a transformation specification for the pair of augmented-reality glasses is determined.
