Method for the common representation of safety-critical and non-safety-critical information, and display device
First Claim
1. A method for the common representation of safety-critical and non-safety-critical information on a display unit of a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving non-safety-critical information by a first processor and producing at least one graphic presentation of the non-safety-critical information;
receiving safety-critical information by a second processor, wherein the second processor also receives the at least one graphic presentation of the non-safety-critical information;
producing at least one graphic presentation of the safety-critical information;
representing the presentations of safety-critical and non-safety-critical information on the display unit, the representation having at least two representation planes;
presenting the non-safety-critical information on a rear, in a direction of view of the observer, plane of the at least two representation planes, and presenting the safety-critical information on a front representation plane; and
checking whether the safety-critical information is recognizable, in a case of an at least partial overlap of the presentation of the non-safety-critical information by the presentation of the safety-critical information;
wherein if during the checking step a determination is made that the presentation of the non-safety-critical information is overlapped by the presentation of the safety-critical information, adapting at least the overlapping parts of the presentation of the safety-critical information in such a way that the safety-critical information is recognizable;
adapting parts of the presentation of the safety-critical information by modifying the graphic presentation of the safety-critical information in the overlapping region such that the graphic presentation of the overlapping parts, as such, is modified;
wherein the modification of the graphic presentation of the safety-critical information in the overlapping region takes place through at least one of a color modification, a line modification, a size modification, a contrast modification, or a modification of the representation frequency.

Abstract
A method for the common representation of safety-critical and non-safety-critical information on a display unit of a vehicle. The method includes receiving non-safety-critical information and producing at least one graphic presentation of the non-safety-critical information. The method also includes receiving safety-critical information and producing at least one graphic presentation of the safety-critical information. In addition, the method includes representing the presentations of safety-critical and non-safety-critical information on the display unit, the representation having at least two representation planes. The non-safety-critical information is represented on a rear, in the direction of view of the observer, plane of the at least two representation planes, and the safety-critical information is represented on a front representation plane. The method includes checking whether the safety-critical information is recognizable when there is an at least partial overlap of the presentation of the non-safety-critical information by the presentation of the safety-critical information.
