Windshield safety system
Examples of the present disclosure relate to a system, method, and computer readable medium for windshield safety. A windshield safety system may include a sensor that detects possible damage to a windshield of a vehicle. In an example, the windshield safety system includes a display corrector in the vehicle to alter the display of information in response to a possible damage detection by the sensor. The windshield safety system can also include a driver information system in the vehicle to send an appointment request in response to a possible damage detection by the sensor.
1. A system for windshield safety, comprising:
a physical sensor that detects possible damage to a windshield of a vehicle;
a display corrector in the vehicle to alter a physical location of a display of information in the vehicle in response to a possible damage detection by the physical sensor; and
a driver information system in the vehicle to send an appointment request in response to a possible damage detection by the physical sensor.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the driver information system sends specifications of the windshield in response to the possible damage detection by the physical sensor.
3. The system of claim 1 , comprising a Heads-Up Display (HUD) damage detector to compare a display of a HUD image on the windshield from after a possible damage detection by the physical sensor to an intended display of the HUD image.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the physical sensor is at least one of a camera, a radar system, an optical edge-light sensor, and an accelerometer.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein alteration of the physical location of the display of information comprises duplicating the display of information across at least two displays in the vehicle.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein alteration of the physical location of the display information comprises moving the display of information to at least one of a Center Information Display (CID), a device of the user, and a window other than the windshield.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the driver information system provides a notification to a user of the possible damage detected by the physical sensor.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the notification is provided to the user by a message sent to a device other than the vehicle.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the driver information system provides a notification to a user of a confirmation of the appointment request sent and wherein the notification includes at least one of a time of the appointment, a location of the appointment, a price of the appointment, navigation instructions to the appointment, a name of a vendor for the appointment.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the driver information system provides a request to a user to provide input, where the input is included in the appointment request.
11. A method for windshield safety, comprising:
detecting possible damage to a windshield of a vehicle with a physical sensor;
altering a physical location of a display of information with a display corrector in the vehicle in response to a possible damage detection by the physical sensor; and
sending, with a driver information system in the vehicle, an appointment request in response to a possible damage detection by the physical sensor.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the driver information system sends specifications of the windshield in response to the possible damage detection by the physical sensor.
13. The method of claim 11 , comprising comparing a display of a Heads-Up Display (HUD) image on the windshield from after a possible damage detection to an intended display of the HUD image.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the physical sensor is at least one of a camera, a radar system, an optical edge-light sensor, and an accelerometer.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein alteration of the physical location of the display of information comprises duplicating the display of information across at least two displays in the vehicle.
16. The method of claim 11 , wherein alteration of the physical location of the display information comprises moving the display of information to at least one of a Center Information Display (CID), a device of the user, and a window other than the windshield.
17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the driver information system provides a notification to a user of the possible damage detected by the physical sensor.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the notification is provided to the user by a message sent to a device other than the vehicle.
19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the driver information system provides a notification to a user of a confirmation of the appointment request sent and wherein the notification includes at least one of a time of the appointment, a location of the appointment, a price of the appointment, navigation instructions to the appointment, a name of a vendor for the appointment.
20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the driver information system provides a request to a user to provide input, where the input is included in the appointment request.
21. A non-transitory, computer readable storage device for windshield comprising instructions that when executed on a processor, cause the processor to:
detect possible damage to a windshield of a vehicle with a physical sensor;
alert a physical location of a display of information with a display corrector in the vehicle in response to a possible damage detection by the physical sensor; and
send, with a driver information system in the vehicle, an appointment request in response to a possible damage detection by the physical sensor.
22. The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 21 , wherein the driver information system sends specifications of the windshield in response to the possible damage detection by the physical sensor.
23. The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 21 , comprising comparing a display of a Heads-Up Display (HUD) image on the windshield from after a possible damage detection to an intended display of the HUD image.
24. The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 21 , wherein the physical sensor is at least one of a camera, a radar system, an optical edge-light sensor, and an accelerometer.
25. The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 21 , wherein alteration of the physical location of the display of information comprises duplicating the display of information across at least two displays in the vehicle.
26. The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 21 , wherein alteration of the physical location of the display information comprises moving the display of information to at least one of a Center Information Display (CID), a device of the user, and a window other than the windshield.
27. The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 21 , wherein the driver information system provides a notification to a user of the possible damage detected by the physical sensor.
28. The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 27 , wherein the notification is provided to the user by a message sent to a device other than the vehicle.
29. The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 21 , wherein the driver information system provides a notification to a user of a confirmation of the appointment request sent and wherein the notification includes at least one of a time of the appointment, a location of the appointment, a price of the appointment, navigation instructions to the appointment, a name of a vendor for the appointment.
30. The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 21 , wherein the driver information system provides a request to a user to provide input, where the input is included in the appointment request.
