Patent Images
1. A method of generating a display on a mobile body, comprising:
- obtaining position information including coordinates that are indicative of a position of the mobile body on the surface of the Earth;
obtaining display data indicative of items in proximity to the mobile body based on the position information;
generating a virtual mirror display of the items that would be seen in a mirror with an unobstructed view based on the display data.

1. A method of generating a display on a mobile body, comprising:
-
obtaining position information including coordinates that are indicative of a position of the mobile body on the surface of the Earth; obtaining display data indicative of items in proximity to the mobile body based on the position information; generating a virtual mirror display of the items that would be seen in a mirror with an unobstructed view based on the display data. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

46. A display system for generating a display on a mobile body, the display system comprising:
-
a location system generating location data including coordinates that are indicative of a location of the mobile body on the surface of the Earth; a geospatial database storing display item information indicative of items to be displayed; a display device; and a controller coupled to the location system, the display device, and the geospatial database and configured to access the geospatial database based on the location data and output display data to the display device indicative of a virtual mirror display of the items. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60)

61. A computer generated virtual mirror display on a mobile body, comprising:
-
a vehicle location system configured to generate a location signal including coordinates of a position of the mobile body on the surface of the Earth; a geospatial database including road data, the road data including road boundary information corresponding to a boundary of a road on which the mobile body is traveling; a conformal virtual mirror display configured to display a virtual image representing the boundary of the road based on the road boundary information and the location signal; wherein the virtual image is displayed in a manner that generates a visual effect of the virtual image substantially overlying the corresponding boundary of the road that would be seen if the display were a mirror having an unobstructed view of the road. - View Dependent Claims (62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68)
