User interface for displaying object-based indications in an autonomous driving system
First Claim
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a plurality of control apparatuses including a braking apparatus, an acceleration apparatus, and a steering apparatus;
a user input device for inputting destination information;
a geographic position component for determining a current location of the vehicle;
an object detection apparatus for detecting object information of an object in or proximate to a roadway;
memory for storing a detailed roadway map including roadways, traffic signals, and intersections;
an electronic display for displaying information to a passenger of the vehicle; and
a processor coupled to the control apparatuses, the user input device, the object detection apparatus, the memory, the geographic position component, and the electronic display, the processor being configured to;
receive the destination information from the user input device;
receive the location information from the geographic position component and identify a route to the destination based on the destination information and the stored map information;
identify the object and an object type of the object based on the object information received from the object detection apparatus;
determine at least one warning characteristic of the identified object based on at least one of;
the object type, a detected proximity of the identified object to the vehicle, the location of the identified object relative to one or more predetermined peripheral areas of the vehicle, the current location of the vehicle, and the route;
select an object warning image based on the at least one warning characteristic; and
cause the selected object warning image to be displayed on the electronic display.

Abstract
A vehicle has a plurality of control apparatuses, a user input, a geographic position component, an object detection apparatus, memory, and a display. A processor is also included and is programmed to receive the destination information, identify a route, and determine the current geographic location of the vehicle. The processor is also programmed to identify an object and object type based on object information received from the object detection apparatus and to determine at least one warning characteristic of the identified object based on at least one of: the object type, a detected proximity of the detected object to the vehicle, the location of the detected object relative to predetermined peripheral areas of the vehicle, the current geographic location of the vehicle, and the route. The processor is also configured to select and display on the display an object warning image based on the at least one warning characteristic.

12. A vehicle comprising:
-
an object detection apparatus for detecting an object in or proximate to a roadway and a location of the object; an electronic display for displaying information to a passenger of the vehicle; and a processor coupled to the object detection apparatus and the electronic display, the processor being configured to; determine a relative position of the object to the vehicle based on information received from the object detection apparatus; identify the object and object type of the object based on object information received from the object detection apparatus; determine a warning characteristic of the identified object based on at least one of;
the object type, a detected proximity of the detected object to the vehicle, and the relative position of the detected object;determine one of a plurality of predetermined peripheral areas of the vehicle to associate with the warning characteristic based on the relative position of the detected object; select an object warning image and a warning location image to be displayed based on the warning characteristic and the one or more predetermined peripheral area associated with the warning characteristic; prepare the selected object warning image and the selected warning location image for presentation on the electronic display; and prepare a preselected non-warning indication image for presentation on the display, the preselected non-warning indication image being associated with the predetermined peripheral areas not associated with the warning characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
