Abstract

Technologies and techniques for controlling a display of an augmented reality display device for a motor vehicle. A maneuver scheduler determines a target maneuver of the motor vehicle. An execution location of the target maneuver is determined. A graphics generator generates a target maneuver marking for a display by the augmented reality display device on the basis of the information. The target maneuver marking is outputted for display by the augmented reality display device. The target maneuver marking is displayed in such a way that the target maneuver marking is displayed in a stationary manner in the region of the execution location of the target maneuver perpendicularly on a lane to be travelled by the motor vehicle.

Claims (29)

1. A method for controlling a display on an augmented reality display device for a motor vehicle, comprising:

determining, via a maneuver planner of a computer device, a target maneuver for the motor vehicle;

determining, via the maneuver planner of the computer device, an execution location for the target maneuver;

generating, via a graphics generator, a target maneuver marking for display by the augmented reality display device; and

outputting the target maneuver marking to a control unit of the augmented reality display device such that the target maneuver marking is displayed on the augmented reality display device in a stationary manner in a region of the execution location of the target maneuver perpendicular to a traffic lane to be traveled by the motor vehicle, and located in the transverse direction at an edge of the traffic lane to be traveled.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target maneuver marking is generated to be superimposed in a presentation region over existing objects or other road users.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target maneuver marking is generated to grow larger on the augmented reality display device as the motor vehicle approaches a location where the target maneuver is to be carried out.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein generating the target maneuver marking comprises generating additional navigation information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein generating the target maneuver marking comprises changing the target maneuver marking to an enhanced presentation when the motor vehicle approaches a location where the target maneuver is to be carried out once a limit distance has been reached.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein generating the target maneuver marking comprises animating the target maneuver marking to clarify the target maneuver that is to be carried out.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the augmented reality display device comprises one of an augmented reality head-up display or data glasses.

8. An apparatus for controlling a display on an augmented reality display device for a motor vehicle, comprising:

a maneuver planner for determining a target maneuver for the motor vehicle and determining an execution location for the target maneuver;

a graphics generator, operatively coupled to the maneuver planner, for generating a target maneuver marking for display by the augmented reality display device; and

an output outputting the target maneuver marking for display by the augmented reality display device such that the target maneuver marking is displayed on the augmented reality display device in a stationary manner in a region of the execution location of the target maneuver perpendicular to a traffic lane to be traveled by the motor vehicle, and located in the transverse direction at an edge of the traffic lane to be traveled.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the target maneuver marking is generated by the graphics generator to be superimposed in a presentation region over existing objects or other road users.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the target maneuver marking is generated by the graphics generator to grow larger on the augmented reality display device as the motor vehicle approaches a location where the target maneuver is to be carried out.

11. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the graphics generator is configured to generate the target maneuver marking by generating additional navigation information.

12. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the graphics generator is configured to generate the target maneuver marking by changing the target maneuver marking to an enhanced presentation when the motor vehicle approaches a location where the target maneuver is to be carried out once a limit distance has been reached.

13. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein generating the target maneuver marking by the graphics generator comprises animating the target maneuver marking to clarify the target maneuver that is to be carried out.

14. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the augmented reality display device comprises one of an augmented reality head-up display or data glasses.

15. A method for controlling a display on an augmented reality display device for a motor vehicle, comprising:

determining, via a maneuver planner of a computer device, a target maneuver for the motor vehicle when the motor vehicle approaches a location once a limit distance has been reached;

determining, via the maneuver planner of the computer device, an execution location for the target maneuver based on the location;

generating, via a graphics generator, a target maneuver marking for display by the augmented reality display device, wherein the target maneuver marking is generated to be superimposed in a presentation region over existing objects or other road users; and

outputting the target maneuver marking to a control unit of the augmented reality display device such that the target maneuver marking is displayed on the augmented reality display device in a stationary manner in a region of the execution location of the target maneuver perpendicular to a traffic lane to be traveled by the motor vehicle, and located in the transverse direction at an edge of the traffic lane to be traveled.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the target maneuver marking is generated to be superimposed in a presentation region over existing objects or other road users.

17. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the target maneuver marking is generated on a side of a road the vehicle is on, transverse thereto.

18. The method according to claim 15 , wherein generating the target maneuver marking comprises generating additional navigation information.
