  • 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: 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: 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.

  • Patent number: 11049320
    Abstract: A method, a device and a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for controlling a display of an augmented reality head-up display device for a motor vehicle as well as an augmented reality head-up display device for a motor vehicle. In a first step, the position for a representation of a virtual object in front of the motor vehicle is determined (20). The virtual object is then superimposed (21), corresponding to the determined position, onto a projection surface by an imaging unit. To increase the subjective perception of the registration quality on the part of the observer, the virtual object is designed to this effect to be fault-tolerant with regard to registration errors.

  • 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: 10789490
    Abstract: A method for computing a display of additional information for display on a display unit. The insertion of additional information supports the driver in the longitudinal guidance of a transportation vehicle. The insertion of the additional information takes place as an augmented reality display, so that the additional information is computed contact-analogously to one or more objects in the environment of the transportation vehicle. The position of a transportation vehicle traveling in front is detected. When the observer transportation vehicle is approaching the transportation vehicle in front, an animated graphic is displayed section by section in a periodically recurring manner starting from the observer transportation vehicle.
