First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing supplementary alert information in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- controlling one or more systems in the vehicle to generate and present an alert to a user of the vehicle based on an obstacle detected from a surrounding of the vehicle, wherein the alert includes at least one of a semi or fully autonomous control of the vehicle and an automatic advanced driver assistance control of the vehicle, and the control of the vehicle includes control of a movement of a component of the vehicle;
monitoring, using processing circuitry, the one or more systems in the vehicle to determine an alert mode when the alert is generated;
identifying, using the processing circuitry, supplementary alert information associated with the alert mode, wherein the supplementary alert information explains that the obstacle caused the generation of the generated alert;
outputting, using the processing circuitry, the supplementary alert information to the user of the vehicle;
generating, using the processing circuitry, additional supplementary alert information associated with the alert mode, wherein the additional supplementary alert information is not included in the supplementary alert information and further describes the obstacle that caused the generation of the generated alert; and
after the supplementary alert information is output and a predetermined condition of the vehicle is satisfied, outputting, using the processing circuitry, the additional supplementary alert information to the user of the vehicle.

10. A system for providing supplementary alert information in a vehicle, the system comprising:
-
one or more alert systems; and processing circuitry configured to control the one or more alert systems to generate and present an alert to a user of the vehicle based upon an obstacle detected from a surrounding of the vehicle, wherein the alert includes at least one of a semi or fully autonomous control of the vehicle and an automatic advanced driver assistance control of the vehicle, and the control of the vehicle includes control of a movement of a component of the vehicle, monitor the one or more alert systems to determine an alert mode when the alert is generated, identify supplementary alert information associated with the alert mode, wherein the supplementary alert information explains that the obstacle caused the generation of the generated alert, output the supplementary alert information to the user of the vehicle, generate additional supplementary alert information associated with the alert mode, wherein the additional supplementary alert information is not included in the supplementary alert information and further describes the obstacle that caused the generation of the generated alert; and after the supplementary alert information is output and a predetermined condition of the vehicle is satisfied, output the additional supplementary alert information to the user of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer-readable instructions therein which when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for providing supplementary alert information, the method comprising:
-
controlling one or more systems in a vehicle to generate and present an alert to a user of the vehicle based on an obstacle detected from a surrounding of the vehicle, wherein the alert includes at least one of a semi or fully autonomous control of the vehicle and an automatic advanced driver assistance control of the vehicle, and the control of the vehicle includes control of a movement of a component of the vehicle; monitoring the one or more systems in the vehicle to determine an alert mode when the alert is generated; identifying supplementary alert information associated with the alert mode, wherein the supplementary alert information explains that the obstacle caused the generation of the generated alert; outputting the supplementary alert information to the user of the vehicle; generating additional supplementary alert information associated with the alert mode, wherein the additional supplementary alert information is not included in the supplementary alert information and further describes the obstacle that caused the generation of the generated alert; and
,after the supplementary alert information is output and a predetermined condition of the vehicle is satisfied, outputting the additional supplementary alert information to the user of the vehicle.
