Display apparatus for vehicle and method thereof
View Patent ↗A display apparatus for a vehicle includes: a controller configured to create a 3D map based on a neon view by selecting essential information among map information; and a display device configured to display the 3D map based on the neon view created by the controller, wherein the controller displays a structure on a background screen of the map information by using a shadow or displays the structure on a dark background screen by using an outline of the structure when the 3D map based on the neon view is created.
1. A display apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
a controller configured to create a 3D map based on a neon view by selecting essential information among map information; and
a display device configured to display the 3D map based on the neon view created by the controller,
wherein the controller displays a structure on a background screen of the map information by using a shadow or displays the structure on a dark background screen by using an outline of the structure when the 3D map based on the neon view is created.
2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the essential information includes at least one of current location information of a host vehicle, path information, time information, destination information, distance information remaining to a destination, or current time information.
3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller differentially sets transparency of the structure on the 3D map by structural features or distance.
4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the controller creates the 3D map by reducing transparency of buildings when the buildings are overlapped and displayed in the structure.
5. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the controller creates the 3D map by reducing transparency of a building when the building and a path are overlapped and displayed in the structure.
6. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the controller creates the 3D map by increasing transparency of the structure as a distance from a host vehicle to the structure is smaller.
7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller sets at least one of a color, an edge, or a gradient effect of the structure on the 3D map.
8. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the controller differently sets colors of a wall surface and a roof surface of a building when the structure is the building.
9. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the controller sets at least one of transparency, a thickness, and a color of an outer line of the structure.
10. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the controller applies the gradient effect to a wall surface of a building when the structure is the building.
11. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller includes a light source based on a host vehicle on the 3D map.
12. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller dims or blurs a surrounding area except a central area where a path on the 3D map is displayed.
13. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller translucently processes a path line among essential information, separately transparently processes a portion of the path line, or processes the path line to be displayed in duplicate.
14. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller performs shadow processing on a mark representing a host vehicle on the 3D map.
15. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller displays a color of a fog area at an end portion of a horizon on the 3D map by applying an inverted color to a background color of the 3D map.
16. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller forms a host vehicle mark displayed on the 3D map to have a structure that is inclined in a predetermined direction.
17. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller, when providing detailed information of a rotation guidance point on the 3D map, starts to provide a map based on an auto view mode by reducing a scale of the 3D map based on the neon view and changing a viewing angle of the 3D map to a predetermined value when the host vehicle reaches a rotation guidance time point.
18. The display apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the controller gradually increases a scale of the map based on an auto view mode and a viewing angle of the map from a time point at which the host vehicle starts the auto view mode to a time point at which it reaches a rotation point.
19. The display apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the controller releases the auto view within a predetermined time, and restores the scale and the viewing angle of the map when the host vehicle passes through the rotation point.
20. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller displays a rotation direction on a path line of the rotation point.
21. The display apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the controller displays a name of a travel direction and remaining distance information on a region that is close to the rotation point on the map based on the auto view mode.
22. A display method for a vehicle, comprising:
selecting, by a controller, essential information among map information;
creating, by the controller, a 3D map based on a neon view to display the essential information thereon; and
displaying, by a display device, the 3D map.
