Systems and methods for traffic sign assistance
First Claim
1. A method for providing driver assistance, comprising:
- receiving image data regarding a regulation indicator in proximity to the vehicle and a next road intersection;
tracking a distance traveled between the regulation indicator to a location of the next road intersection, based on the image data;
monitoring a vehicle travel direction;
displaying a regulation value associated with the regulation indicator when the distance traveled is less than a predetermined threshold value and a change in vehicle travel direction is detected; and
hiding the regulation value associated with the regulation indicator when the distance traveled is greater than a predetermined threshold value and a change in vehicle travel direction is detected.

Abstract
A traffic sign assistance system for a vehicle including optical recognition unit to obtain data regarding a regulation indicator in proximity to the vehicle, at least one sensor unit configured to monitor a vehicle travel direction, and processing unit. The processing unit are configured to determine a location of a location of a next road intersection based on the vehicle travel direction, measure a distance between a location of the regulation indicator and the location of the next road intersection, cause display of a regulation value associated with the regulation indicator on a display device to be maintained if the distance is less than a predetermined threshold value and a change in vehicle travel direction is detected, and hide the regulation value associated with the regulation indicator from the display device if the distance is greater than the predetermined threshold value and a change in vehicle travel direction is detected.

7. A traffic sign assistance system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
a camera configured to obtain data regarding a regulation indicator and road intersections in proximity to the vehicle; at least one sensor configured to monitor a vehicle travel direction; an ECU configured to; determine a location of a next road intersection based on the vehicle travel direction and the data obtained by the camera; track a distance between a location of the regulation indicator and the location of the next road intersection; cause display of a regulation value associated with the regulation indicator on a display device to be maintained if the distance is less than a predetermined threshold value and a change in vehicle direction is detected; and hide the regulation value associated with the regulation indicator from the display device if the distance is greater than the predetermined threshold value and a change in vehicle direction is detected. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
