Side window display system on vehicle
A side window display system on vehicles is provided. The side window display system on vehicles includes a transparent display, at least one external sensor, at least one internal sensor and a controller. The transparent display is provided on a side window of a vehicle. The external sensor is used to detect an external environment of the vehicle to provide external environment information. The internal sensor is used to detect an internal environment of the vehicle to provide internal environment information. The controller is coupled to the transparent display, the external sensor, and the internal sensor to select an operation mode based on the internal environment information, and controls the transparency distribution and brightness distribution of the transparent display based on the operation mode and the external environment information.
1 . A vehicle side window display system, comprising:
a transparent display disposed on a side window of a vehicle;
at least one external sensor detecting an external environment of the vehicle to provide external environment information;
at least one internal sensor detecting an internal environment of the vehicle to provide internal environment information;
a controller coupled to the transparent display, the at least one external sensor and the at least one internal sensor to select an operation mode based on the internal environment information, and control a transparency distribution and a brightness distribution of the transparent display based on the operation mode and the external environment information;
wherein when the controller determines that the vehicle is in a parking state, the controller determines whether a passenger is to open a door and determines whether a car is coming from behind the vehicle, wherein the passenger is to open the door is determined by a door-opening intention score based on the passenger's gaze area, the passenger's face angle, a turning angle of the passenger's body, and a distance between the passenger's hand and a door handle.
2 . The vehicle side window display system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one internal sensor comprises an internal light sensor to detect an internal light brightness inside the vehicle, and the at least one external sensor comprises an external light sensor to detect an external light brightness outside the vehicle, wherein the controller controls the transparency distribution and the brightness distribution of the transparent display based on a brightness error of the internal light brightness and the external light brightness.
3 . The vehicle side window display system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one internal sensor comprises an internal camera to detect a viewing angle of passenger's eyes and a body posture of the passenger.
4 . The vehicle side window display system according to claim 3 , wherein when the controller determines that the passenger is about to open the door and determines that the car is coming from behind the vehicle, the controller controls the transparency distribution and the brightness distribution of the transparent display to display a warning message of an approaching car on the transparent display.
5 . The vehicle side window display system according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one external sensor comprises an external camera to detect an external environment image outside the vehicle,
wherein the at least one internal sensor comprises a microphone to detect a voice signal from the passenger,
wherein the controller detects a target of interest (TOI) corresponding to the passenger in the external environment image based on a voice recognition result of the voice signal, and determines a projection position of the TOI on the transparent display based on the viewing angle, and
wherein the controller controls the transparency distribution and the brightness distribution of the transparent display to mark the projection position on the transparent display.
6 . The vehicle side window display system according to claim 5 , wherein the controller further controls the transparency distribution and the brightness distribution of the transparent display to display TOI information next to the projection position on the transparent display.
7 . The vehicle side window display system according to claim 3 , wherein when the controller determines that the passenger is asleep based on the viewing angle of the passenger's eyes and the body posture of the passenger and the passenger has fallen asleep for a period of preset time, the controller controls the transparency distribution and the brightness distribution of the transparent display to reduce a transparency of the transparent display.
8 . The vehicle side window display system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one internal sensor comprises a touch panel to detect a passenger touching or pressing the transparent display,
wherein the controller selects the operation mode based on one of operation icons touched by the passenger, and the controller drags one of the operation icons, a game icon, or a TOI area in an external image based on a pressing of the passenger on the transparent display.
9 . The vehicle side window display system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the transparency distribution and the brightness distribution of the transparent display so that a transparency of at least one area displaying a text or an icon on the transparent display is reduced.
10 . The vehicle side window display system according to claim 1 , wherein when text or icons are displayed on the transparent display, the controller controls the transparency distribution and the brightness distribution of the transparent display so that a transparency of the entire transparent display is reduced.
11 . The vehicle side window display system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one internal sensor comprises a microphone to detect a voice signal from a passenger,
wherein the controller determines whether the voice signal is a command voice, when the voice signal is the command voice, the controller selects the operation mode based on the command voice.
12 . The vehicle side window display system according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent display is a micro light-emitting diode display.
