Image providing system for vehicle, server system, and image providing method for vehicle
An image providing system for vehicles includes an imaging unit; a display unit which generates a virtual image of a person; a communication unit which connects for communication to an apparatus outside a vehicle; and a seat occupancy detection unit which detects a seat occupancy state in the vehicle, wherein the display unit controls a display mode of the virtual image on the basis of the seat occupancy state in the vehicle detected by the seat occupancy detection unit in an operating state of the communication unit.
1. A server system configured to communicatively connect to a processor associated with a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises an imaging device, a display device which generates a virtual image of a person, and the communication device which connects for communication to an apparatus outside the vehicle, the server system comprising:
a processor that executes instructions to:
communicate with the apparatus outside the vehicle;
initiate communication with the vehicle;
store information transmitted from the apparatus outside the vehicle;
store ID information of the vehicle and an image acquired by the imaging device; and
selectively convert and transmit the information received from the apparatus outside the vehicle,
wherein prior to transmitting the information received from the apparatus, the processor executes instructions to generate a virtual image to be displayed on the display device,
wherein the processor further executes instructions to store information on a seat occupancy state in the vehicle based on the communication with the vehicle, and based on the seat occupancy state, control display of the virtual image,
wherein the processor further executes instructions to selectively transmit the information on the seat occupancy state to the apparatus outside the vehicle, and
wherein the processor further executes instructions to extract image information corresponding to a specific occupant of the vehicle from the information on the seat occupancy state.
