Navigation display method and system
First Claim
1. A method for guiding a steerable vehicle through a road network, wherein the vehicle has a front glass and an operating position from which an operator looking through the front glass steers the vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining, via a vehicle position data generator, navigation data representing a position and a travel direction of the vehicle;
receiving, from a storage object, data corresponding to one or more real-world objects based on the navigation data;
generating a light pattern that indicates a first real-world object on the road of current travel based on the data from the storage object; and
projecting the light pattern onto the front glass in a position where the light pattern appears to be projected onto or in close proximity to the first real-world object when viewed from the operating position,wherein the light pattern has a light wavelength that changes in accordance with the distance between the vehicle and the first real-world object.

Abstract
A light pattern is projected onto the front glass in a position where the light pattern appears to be projected onto or in close proximity to a corresponding specific real-world object when viewed by an operator in the operating position and/or a graphic pattern is superposed on a graphic or video image of the real-world objects in front of the vehicle in a position where the graphical pattern appears to be on or in close proximity to the image of the corresponding specific real-world object on a screen, wherein the light pattern and/or graphic pattern has a light wavelength that changes in accordance with the distance between the vehicle and the specific real-world object.

9. A method for guiding a steerable vehicle through a road network, wherein the vehicle has a screen and an operating position from which the screen is visible to an operator steering the vehicle, the method comprising:
-
determining, via a vehicle position data generator, navigation data representing a position and a travel direction of the vehicle; receiving, from a storage object, data corresponding to one or more real-world objects based on the navigation data; generating on the screen a graphic image or video image of one or more real-world objects in front of the vehicle; generating on the screen a graphical pattern that indicates a first real-world object on the road of current travel based on the data from the object; and superposing the graphical pattern on the graphic or video image in front of the vehicle at a position where the graphical pattern appears to be on or in close proximity to the image of the first real-world object, wherein the graphic pattern has a light wavelength that changes in accordance with the distance between the vehicle and the first real-world object. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system configured to guide a steerable vehicle through a road network, wherein the vehicle has a front glass and an operating position from which an operator looking through the front glass steers the vehicle, the system comprising:
-
a vehicle position data generator configured to determine navigation data representing a position and a travel direction of the vehicle; a memory configured to provide object data corresponding to one or more real-world objects based on the navigation data; and a heads-up display configured to generate a light pattern that indicates a first real-world object on the road of current travel based on the object data and to project the light pattern onto the front glass at a position where the light pattern appears to be projected onto or in close proximity to the first real-world object when viewed from the operating position, wherein the light pattern has a light wavelength that changes in accordance with the distance between the vehicle and the first real-world object. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A system configured to guide a steerable vehicle through a road network, wherein the vehicle has a screen and an operating position from which the screen is visible to an operator steering the vehicle, the system comprising:
-
a vehicle position data generator configured to determine navigation data representing a position and a travel direction of the vehicle; and a memory configured to provide object data corresponding to one or more real-world objects based on the navigation data, wherein the screen is configured to generate a graphic pattern that indicates a first real-world object on the road of current travel based on the object data, and to superpose the graphic pattern on a graphic image or video image at a position where the graphic pattern appears to be on or in close proximity to the first real-world object, and wherein the graphic pattern has a light wavelength that changes in accordance with the distance between the vehicle and the specific real-world object. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
