Apparatus to adjust a field of view displayed on an electronic mirror using an automobile state or a driver action
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- an interface to a sensor, said sensor configured to generate a video signal having a first field of view based on (i) a targeted view from a vehicle, and (ii) a horizontal dimension and vertical dimension corresponding to a size of said sensor; and
a processor configured to (A) receive said video signal from said interface, (B) generate a second field of view from said video signal based on (i) said first field of view, (ii) a width and height of a display and (iii) an input and (C) present said second field of view from said video signal to said display, wherein (a) said second field of view is a cropped version of said first field of view configured o show a first vertical portion of said vertical dimension that fits said height of said display, (b) said second field of view is generated by adjusting video data in said first field of view, (c) a first ratio of said horizontal dimension to said vertical dimension of said first field of view is different than a second ratio of said width to said height of said display, (d) a second vertical portion of said first field of view is not in said second field of view in response to said difference between said first ratio and said second ratio, (e) said first ratio is an aspect ratio of said sensor, (f) said second ratio is an aspect ratio of said display and (g) cropping said first field of view in response to said difference between said first ratio and said second ratio enables said display to show said second field of view without distorting said video data.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising an interface to a sensor and a processor. The sensor may be configured to generate a video signal having a first field of view based on a targeted view from a vehicle. The processor may be configured to (A) receive the video signal from the interface, (B) generate a second field of view from the video signal based on (i) the first field of view, (ii) a shape of a display and (iii) an input and (C) present the second field of view from the video signal to the display. The second field of view is a cropped version of the first field of view. The second field of view is generated by adjusting video data in the first field of view. Portions of the first field of view not in the second field of view are hidden portions of the video signal.
