Method and system for presenting an image of an external view in a moving vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for processing an image corresponding to a view external to a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving at a processor a signal corresponding to an image of a view external to a vehicle;
receiving at a processor a signal corresponding to a speed of the vehicle;
directing to a first display portion positioned at a first location of the vehicle a first signal corresponding to the image;
directing to a second display portion positioned at a second location of the vehicle a second signal corresponding to the image, the second location being spaced apart from the first location; and
delaying the second signal by a time that corresponds at least approximately inversely to the speed.

Abstract
Methods and systems for processing images corresponding to views external to a vehicle are disclosed. A system in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes first and second signal receiving portions configured to receive a signal corresponding to an image of a view external to the vehicle and a speed of the vehicle, respectively. A signal processing portion can direct to a first display portion a first signal corresponding to the image and to a second display portion a second signal corresponding to the image, with the first and second display portions positioned at different locations of the vehicle. The second signal can be delayed by a time that corresponds at least approximately inversely to the speed of the vehicle. Accordingly, a viewer seeing both display portions can receive a visual indication that the vehicle is moving.

13. A method for processing an image corresponding to a view external to a vehicle, comprising:
-
receiving at a first signal receiving portion of a computer-based system a signal corresponding to an image of a view external to a vehicle; receiving at a second signal receiving portion of a computer-based system a signal corresponding to a speed of the vehicle; directing from a signal processing portion of the computer-based system to a first display portion positioned at a first location of the vehicle a first signal corresponding to the image; directing from the signal processing portion of the computer-based system to a second display portion positioned at a second location of the vehicle a second signal corresponding to the image, the second location being spaced apart from the first location; and delaying, via the signal processing portion, the second signal by a time that corresponds at least approximately inversely to the speed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
