Patent number: 11767023Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products that facilitate displaying next action of an autonomous vehicle. A system can include a memory and a processor that executes computer executable components. The computer executable components can include: an analysis component that determines or infers next action of an autonomous vehicle and a display component that generates a graphical user interface that visually conveys the next action, wherein the graphical user interface comprises a shape that dynamically morphs to visually represent the next action.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2019Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: VOLVO CAR CORPORATIONInventors: Tomas Omasta, Mikael Gordh, Hanna Gerdeskans, Andrea Slaattelia Larsson

Patent number: 11753030Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products that facilitate driver assist interface in a vehicle. A system can include a memory and a processor that executes computer executable components. The computer executable components can include: a monitoring component that monitors driver operation of a vehicle, an analysis component that analyzes the driver operation of the vehicle, a recommendation component that generates real-time recommendations regarding improving at least one of driver turning, accelerating or braking of the vehicle, and an interactive display component that generates a real-time graphical user interface that visually represents the real-time recommendations relative to the driver's current operation of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: VOLVO CAR CORPORATIONInventors: Tomas Omasta, Mikael Gordh, Hanna Gerdeskans, Andrea Slaattelia Larsson

Patent number: 11338734Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method performed by an intention indicating system of a vehicle, for indicating to a potential vehicle occupant thereof an ongoing or impending autonomous kinematic action of the vehicle. The intention indicating system determines an ongoing or impending autonomous kinematic action of the vehicle. The intention indicating system further provides, with support from a light providing device including one or more light sources adapted to emit light, which light providing device is provided continuously and/or intermittently along a majority of a horizontal circumference of the vehicle, a visual light output visible at least from an inside of said vehicle representing the autonomous kinematic action. The disclosure also relates to an intention indicating system in accordance with the foregoing, and further to a vehicle including such an intention indicating system.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Volvo Car CorporationInventors: Mikael Ljung Aust, Trent Victor, Mikael Gordh, Tomas Omasta, Fredrik Folkestad
