System and method for displaying points of interest on a heads-up display
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory that stores instructions;
a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising;
determining a first position at which a first contact is made on a touchscreen of a device, wherein the first position corresponds with an object in a field of view of a user of a vehicle;
determining, in response to the first contact, a vehicle location and an azimuth angle with respect to a reference point in front of the vehicle;
determining a distance to the object in the field of view of the user, wherein the distance is determined from image content obtained from a camera of the vehicle;
determining a location of the object based on the vehicle location, the azimuth angle, and the distance to the object;
determining if the location of the object corresponds with a point of interest; and
displaying, if the location of the object is determined to correspond with the point of interest, information corresponding to the point of interest on a second position of a heads-up display of the vehicle, wherein the second position of the heads-up display corresponds with the first position at which the first contact was made on the touchscreen of the device.

Abstract
A system for displaying points of interest on a heads-up display is disclosed. In particular, the system may utilize vehicular cameras, a touchscreen device, and a heads-up display to provide the functionality supported by the system. The system enables a user to select a point of interest within a field of view on the touchscreen device. Based on the selection of the point of interest, the system may display information associated with the point of interest on the heads-up display. The point of interest may be determined by the location of the vehicle, the vehicle'"'"'s azimuth, and the real-time measured distance to an object corresponding to the point of interest. In order to accurately display the point of interest information at the correct location on the heads-up display, the system may utilize a calibration mechanism specific to the user to determine the correct location.

14. A method, comprising:
-
determining a first position at which a first contact is made on a touchscreen of a device, wherein the first position corresponds with an object in a field of view of a user of a vehicle; determining, in response to the first contact, a vehicle location and an azimuth angle with respect to a reference point in front of the vehicle; determining a distance to the object in the field of view of the user, wherein the distance is determined from image content obtained from a camera of the vehicle; determining a location of the object based on the vehicle location, the azimuth angle, and the distance to the object; determining, by utilizing instructions from a memory that are executed by a processor, if the location of the object corresponds with a point of interest; and displaying, if the location of the object is determined to correspond with the point of interest, information corresponding to the point of interest on a second position of a heads-up display of the vehicle, wherein the second position of the heads-up display corresponds with the first position at which the first contact was made on the touchscreen of the device, and wherein the second position is calibrated based on a calibration offset associated with the user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-readable device comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
determining a first position at which a first contact is made on a touchscreen of a device, wherein the first position corresponds with an object in a field of view of a user of a vehicle; determining, in response to the first contact, a vehicle location and an azimuth angle with respect to a reference point in front of the vehicle; determining a distance to the object in the field of view of the user, wherein the distance is determined from image content obtained from a camera of the vehicle; calculating a location of the object based on the vehicle location, the azimuth angle, and the distance to the object; determining if the location of the object corresponds with a point of interest; and displaying, if the location of the object is determined to correspond with the point of interest, information corresponding to the point of interest on a second position of a heads-up display of the vehicle, wherein the second position of the heads-up display corresponds with the first position at which the first contact was made on the touchscreen of the device.
