MOTOR VEHICLE WITH DIGITAL PROJECTORS
A motor vehicle includes, but is not limited to a digital projector for projecting a graphic or type facial information and a monitoring circuit, to which the projector is connected, in order to project as the graphic or type facial information an information determined by the monitoring circuit in real time.
1 . A motor vehicle, comprising:
a digital projector for configured to project information; and
a monitoring circuit connected to the digital projector configured to determine the information in real time for projection by the monitoring circuit.
2 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the information is graphic information.
3 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the information is type-facial information.
4 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the digital projector is configured to project the information in a direction away from a passenger cell.
5 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the digital projector is a headlamp.
6 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the digital projector is a rear spotlight.
7 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the digital projector is a headlamp and a rear spotlight and the motor vehicle further comprising:
a control unit configured to:
select the headlamp for projecting the information when the motor vehicle moves forward; and
configured to select the rear spotlight for projecting the information when the motor vehicle moves backwards.
8 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the digital projector is a headlamp and a rear spotlight and the motor vehicle further comprising:
a control unit configured to:
select the headlamp for projecting the information when a forward gear is engaged; and
configured to select the rear spotlight for projecting the information when a reverse gear is engaged.
9 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the information determined in real time is a distance of the motor vehicle from an obstacle.
10 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the monitoring circuit comprises a navigation system and the information determined in real time is an output of the navigation system.
11 . The motor vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein the output of the navigation system is a driving direction.
12 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the digital projector is configured to project the information in a form of an image of a traffic sign.
13 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the digital projector is configured to project the information in a form of a lane marking.
14 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the monitoring circuit is configured to monitor an attention of a driver.
15 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the information determined by the monitoring circuit and projected by the digital projector specifies a restriction of navigability of a road travelled on by the motor vehicle.
16 . The motor vehicle according to claim 15 , wherein the monitoring circuit is configured to evaluate if the motor vehicle is in a process of contravening a restriction and to project the information specifying the restriction only in event of a contravention.
17 . The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a detector that is configured to detecting a vehicle-external projection surface; and
an alignment apparatus configured to align a projection direction with a detected projection surface.
18 . The motor vehicle according to claim 17 , wherein the digital projector comprises a matrix with a plurality of individually activatable and light-modulating elements, and the alignment apparatus configured to align the projection direction and set up to select a group of the plurality of individually activatable and light-modulating elements supplied with the information according to a desired projection direction.
19 . The motor vehicle according to claim 17 , wherein the alignment apparatus is configured to detect an obstacle as a projection surface.
20 . The motor vehicle according to claim 7 , further comprising a sensor configured to sense a brightness of a projection surface and the control unit is further configured to control a light intensity with which the information is projected based at least in part on the light intensity.
