Patent number: 11922836Abstract: A rendering system includes a first obtainer, a second obtainer, a renderer, an estimator, and a corrector. The first obtainer obtains position information indicating a position of an object from a detector. The second obtainer obtains movement information indicating a movement state of the moving body. The renderer renders a display image including a content related to the object. The estimator estimates a delay period by comparing the position information to estimated-position information indicating an estimated position of the object estimated based on the movement information of the object. The corrector corrects displacement of a display position of the content on the display image which is caused by movement of the moving body over the delay period.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Fumihito Inukai, Toshiya Mori, Masanaga Tsuji

Patent number: 11837121Abstract: A display correction system includes a first obtainer, a second obtainer, a third obtainer, a predictor, and a corrector. The first obtainer obtains travel route information on a travel route ahead of a moving body. The second obtainer obtains speed information on a speed of the moving body. The third obtainer obtains orientation information on an orientation of the moving body. The predictor predicts, based on the travel route information and the speed information, a time period during which the moving body travels through a specific section in the travel route. The corrector performs correction of a displacement of a display position of a content on a display image based on the orientation information. Based on prediction result of the predictor, the corrector executes first control when the moving body is traveling in a normal section, and executes second control when the moving body is traveling in the specific section.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Masanaga Tsuji, Toshiya Mori, Fumihito Inukai, Tadashi Shibata
