Patent Images
1. A method of providing a live mapping display in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a geographic position of a vehicle;
accessing stored image data corresponding to the geographic position;
positioning a camera to direct the camera toward a target region proximate a geographic region corresponding to the accessed stored image data;
receiving live image data from the camera of a captured image of the target region;
generating a display image including the stored image data combined with the live image data; and
displaying the display image to a traveler onboard the vehicle.

Abstract
A live mapping display system onboard a vehicle may determine a geographic position of a vehicle, access stored image data corresponding to the geographic position, position a camera to direct the camera toward a target region proximate a geographic region corresponding to the accessed stored image data, receive live image data from the camera of a captured image of the target region, generate a display image including the stored image data combined with the live image data, and display the display image.

23. A live mapping display system onboard a vehicle, the system comprising:
-
a position determining unit including a vehicle geographic position output; a camera including an image sensor and an image output representing live image data of a target region exterior to the vehicle as captured by the image sensor; a display unit including an image display which displays display image data directed toward a traveler onboard the vehicle; a data store including stored image data of geographic regions; and a controller communicatively coupled with the position determining unit, the camera, the display unit, and the data store, the controller including an input that receives the live image data corresponding to the target region from the camera, a selection unit which selects stored image data from the data store based on the vehicle geographic position output of the position determining unit, and a display output at which a display image data including the stored image data combined with the live image data is provided. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A live mapping display system onboard a vehicle, the system comprising:
-
a position determining unit including a vehicle geographic position output; a camera including an image sensor and an image output representing live image data of a target region exterior to the vehicle as captured by the image sensor; a camera mount having a controllably movable axis, the camera being mounted upon the camera mount such that the camera mount directs the camera toward the target region; a display unit including an image display which displays display image data directed toward a traveler onboard the vehicle; a data store including stored image data of geographic regions; and a controller communicatively coupled with the position determining unit, the camera, the camera mount, the display unit, and the data store, the controller including a control output that moves the controllably movable axis of the camera mount to direct the camera toward the target region, an input that receives the live image data corresponding to the target region from the camera, a selection unit which selects stored image data from the data store based on the vehicle geographic position output of the position determining unit, and a display output at which a display image data including the stored image data combined with the live image data is provided. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33)
