Method for content-based adjustment of the visibility of content on a display unit
View Patent ↗A method is provided for content-based adjustment of visibility of content on a display unit. The method includes subdividing content to be displayed on a display unit into a number of regions; evaluating the content in at least one region with respect to its distraction effect; adjusting the display view in the at least one region on the basis of the evaluation carried out. Furthermore, a display unit configured according to the method is provided.
1 . A method for content-based adjustment of a visibility of a content of a display unit that is disposed on a front passenger side of a passenger cabin of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
subdividing content to be displayed on a single screen of the display unit into a number of regions;
evaluating the content in each of the regions with respect to predetermined distraction indices that are based upon: a presence or absence of moving images in each of the respective regions, brightness of the content in each of the respective regions, a proximity of each of the regions to a driver side of the passenger cabin, and a size of the region; and
adjusting the visibility in an individual region of the regions of the single screen of the display unit based on the evaluating of the content carried out in each of the regions, the adjusting including at least one of: reducing lateral visibility of the individual region from the driver side of the passenger compartment; reducing brightness of at least part of the individual region; and reducing contrast between regions that exceed a predetermined threshold distraction index threshold of one or more of the evaluated predetermined distraction indices and regions that do not exceed the predetermined distraction index threshold of the one or more predetermined distraction indices.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subdividing of the content to be displayed on the display unit into the number of regions comprises subdividing into contextually and/or graphically contiguous regions.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein any one of the regions of the display unit that is evaluated to have moving images is deemed as requiring adjustment with respect to that region of the display unit.
4 . A display unit for presenting content in a vehicle, comprising a control device for controlling the display, the control device comprising a function module configured to carry out the method of claim 1 for content-based adjustment of a visibility of content on a display unit.
