Abstract

Examples of the present disclosure relate to a system, method, and computer readable medium for windshield safety. A windshield safety system may include a physical 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 a physical location of a display of information in the vehicle in response to a possible damage detection by the physical sensor.

Claims (26)

1 . A system for windshield safety, comprising:

a physical sensor that detects possible damage to a windshield of a vehicle; and

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.

2 . 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.

3 . 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.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein alteration of the display of information comprises duplicating the display of information across at least two displays in the vehicle.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein alteration 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.

6 . The system of claim 1 , comprising a driver information system that provides a notification to a user of the possible damage detected by the physical sensor.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the notification is provided to the user by a message sent to a device other than the vehicle.

8 . A method for windshield safety, comprising:

detecting possible damage to a windshield of a vehicle with a physical sensor; and

altering a physical location of a display of information in the vehicle with a display corrector in response to a possible damage detection by the physical sensor.

9 . The method of claim 8 , 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.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the physical sensor is at least one of a camera, a radar system, an optical edge-light sensor, and an accelerometer.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein alteration of the display of information comprises duplicating the display of information across at least two displays in the vehicle.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein alteration 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.

13 . The method of claim 8 , comprising a driver information system to provide a notification to a user of the possible damage detected by the physical sensor.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the notification is provided to the user by a message sent to a device other than the vehicle.

15 . 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; and

alter a physical location of a display of information in the vehicle with a display corrector in response to a possible damage detection by the physical sensor.

16 . The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 15 , 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.

17 . The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the physical sensor is at least one of a camera, a radar system, an optical edge-light sensor, and an accelerometer.

18 . The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein alteration of the display of information comprises duplicating the display of information across at least two displays in the vehicle.

19 . The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein alteration 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.

20 . The non-transitory, computer readable storage device of claim 15 , comprising a driver information system to provide a notification to a user of the possible damage detected by the physical sensor.
