Content visualizing method and device
Provided are a content visualizing device and method that changes positions and shapes of route guidance content and driving related content based on a distance to an adjacent object, a current driving state, and an occurrence of a driving related event.
1 . A content visualizing method, comprising:
collecting driving related information from a vehicle;
displaying, through a projection plane of a head-up display (HUD), driving related contents based on the driving related information in front of the vehicle;
detecting an event based on the driving related information from a plurality of events;
displaying a first driving related content selected from among the driving related contents based on the detected event;
changing a depth of the displayed first driving related content from a first depth to a second depth, the second depth being different from the first depth; and
changing the depth of the displayed first driving related content from the second depth to the first depth, in response to the detected event being terminated.
2 . The content visualizing method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying of the driving related contents comprises:
displaying at least a portion of the driving related contents to the first depth; and
displaying a remaining portion of the driving related contents to the second depth.
3 . The content visualizing method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying of the driving related contents comprises displaying at least a portion of the driving related contents to a depth corresponding to a focus of a user of the vehicle.
4 . The content visualizing method of claim 3 , wherein the visualizing to the depth corresponding to the focus of the user comprises:
tracking a gaze of the user; and
determining a distance that the gaze of the user reaches to be the depth corresponding to the focus of the user.
5 . The content visualizing method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting comprises moving the driving related content the depth corresponding to the focus of a user of the vehicle.
6 . The content visualizing method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting of the event comprises:
detecting the event based on the driving related information comprising any one or any combination of a speed, an acceleration, a position, fuel, and a maintenance of the vehicle.
7 . The content visualizing method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying of the driving related contents comprises providing a left image to a left eye of a user of the vehicle and a right image to a right eye of the user of the vehicle through the projection plane formed by the HUD.
8 . The content visualizing method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying driving direction content together with a route guidance content, in response to the vehicle departing from a route corresponding to the route guidance content.
9 . The content visualizing method of claim 1 , wherein the driving related information comprises at least one of a speed information, an acceleration information, a position information, fuel information, or maintenance information of the vehicle.
10 . The content visualizing method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of events comprises at least one of a battery charge event, a refuel event, a speeding event, a slowing event, a component replacement event, an engine oil changing event, a maintenance event, a safety event, a breakdown event, or a route guide event.
11 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method of claim 1 .
12 . A content visualizing apparatus, comprising:
a processor configured to:
collect driving related information from a vehicle;
display, through a projection plane of a head-up display (HUD), driving related contents based on the driving related information in front of the vehicle;
detect an event based on the driving related information from a plurality of events;
display a first driving related content selected from among the driving related contents based on the detected event;
change a depth of the displayed first driving related content from a first depth to a second depth, the second depth being different from the first depth; and
change the depth of the displayed first driving related content from the second depth to the first depth, in response to the detected event being terminated.
13 . The content visualizing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display at least a portion of the driving related contents to the first depth; and
display a remaining portion of the driving related contents to the second depth.
14 . The content visualizing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to display at least a portion of the driving related contents to a depth corresponding to a focus of a user of the vehicle.
15 . The content visualizing apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
track a gaze of the user; and
determine a distance that the gaze of the user reaches to be the depth corresponding to the focus of the user.
16 . The content visualizing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to move the driving related content the depth corresponding to the focus of a user of the vehicle.
17 . The content visualizing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to detect the event based on the driving related information comprising any one or any combination of a speed, an acceleration, a position, fuel, and a maintenance of the vehicle.
18 . The content visualizing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to provide a left image to a left eye of a user of the vehicle and a right image to a right eye of the user of the vehicle through the projection plane formed by the HUD.
19 . The content visualizing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to display driving direction content together with a route guidance content, in response to the vehicle departing from a route corresponding to the route guidance content.
20 . The content visualizing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the driving related information comprises at least one of a speed information, an acceleration information, a position information, fuel information, or maintenance information of the vehicle, and
the plurality of events comprises at least one of a battery charge event, a refuel event, a speeding event, a slowing event, a component replacement event, an engine oil changing event, a maintenance event, a safety event, a breakdown event, or a route guide event.
