Method for the output of graphic driving indications
First Claim
1. A method for outputting graphic driving indications for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle in carrying out a driving maneuver, the method comprising the acts of:
- outputting a first graphic driving indication on a head-up display provided at the motor vehicle, the first graphic driving indication comprising a symbolic display element and being in a form of a traffic lane change indication pointing out to the driver a direction from a traffic lane traveled at a beginning of the driving maneuver to a desired traffic lane;
outputting a second graphic driving indication on the head-up display, the second graphic driving indication being in a form of a contact-analog traffic lane marking graphically emphasizing the desired traffic lane with respect to other traffic lanes;
outputting a third graphic driving indication on the head-up display, the third graphic driving indication being in a form of a contact-analog maneuvering impulse comprising a driving funnel originating from the desired traffic lane and corresponding to the driving maneuver; and
outputting a fourth graphic driving indication on the head-up display, the fourth graphic driving indication being in a form of a symbolic maneuvering display indication that symbolically displays the beginning driving maneuver after the motor vehicle enters into the driving funnel,during the outputting of the first graphic driving indication, at least a first change-over criteria concerning a spatial graphic displayability of the second graphic driving indication on a display surface of the head-up display is checked via a computer unit provided at the motor vehicle; and
in response to the at least first change-over criteria indicating that second graphic driving indication would be displayable within a displayable area of the heads-up display, a transition is made from the outputting of the first graphic driving indication to the outputting of the second graphic driving indication.

Abstract
The method outputs graphic driving indications for assisting a motor vehicle driver in a driving maneuver. The graphic driving indications are displayed by a head-up display. A first graphic driving indication is in the form of a traffic lane change indication pointing out to the driver the direction from a traffic lane traveled at the beginning of the maneuver to a desired traffic lane. A second graphic driving indication is output in the form of a contact-analog traffic lane marking graphically emphasizing the desired traffic lane relative to other traffic lanes. A third graphic driving indication is in the form of a contact-analog maneuvering impulse including a driving funnel originating from the desired traffic lane and corresponding to the driving maneuver. A fourth graphic driving indication is a symbolic maneuvering display indication which symbolically displays the beginning driving maneuver after the vehicle enters into the driving funnel.
