  • Patent number: 10877596
    Abstract: For fine adjustment of linear control, a processor detects a specified touch of a finger on a linear control of the touch screen. In response to detecting the specified touch, the processor measures a rolling contact of the finger on the touch screen. Subareas of the finger maintain contact with corresponding pixels of the touch screen. The processor modifies the linear control as a function of the rolling contact.

  • Publication number: 20200396394
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating an output image with a predefined target view showing a motor vehicle (1) and an environmental region (4) of the motor vehicle (1) based on at least partially overlapping raw images (RC1, RC2, RC3, RC4) captured by at least two vehicle-side cameras (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d), comprising the steps of: specifying respective camera-specific pixel density maps (PDM1a, PDM1b, PDM2a, PDM2b), which each describe an image-region dependent distribution of a number of pixels of the raw image (R1 to R4) captured by the associated camera (5a to 5d) contributing for the generation of the output image, spatially adaptive filtering of the raw images (RC1 to RC4) based on the pixel density map (PDM1a to PDM2b) specific to the associated camera (5a to 5d), which indicates an image region-dependent extent of the filtering, identifying mutually corresponding image areas (B1a, B1b, B2a, B2b, B3a, B3b, B4a, B4b) in the at least partially overlapping raw images (RC1 to RC4) of the at least

  • Publication number: 20200353863
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, system and computer product are provided. The method is under control of one or more processors configured with specific executable program instructions. The method obtains driver-initiated action (DIA) data indicative of a driving maneuver of a principle vehicle and obtains traffic movement related (TMR) data indicative of a course of an object in an environment at least partially around the principle vehicle. The method analyzes the DIA data and TMR data to determine a potential traffic impact (PTI) condition between the principle vehicle and the object and generates a driver notification of the PTI condition.
