Display system and method thereof
First Claim
1. A display system, for use in a vehicle comprising:
- an imager configured to capture images corresponding to a field of view rearward of the vehicle;
a processing unit in communication with the imager, the processing unit configured to receive data representative of the captured images;
a display in communication with the processing unit, the display configured to display images based on the data representative of the captured images received by the processing unit; and
wherein the processing unit is configured to;
receive vehicle operating data from the vehicle;
receive data corresponding to a detection of an object in proximity of the vehicle; and
control the field of view of the images displayed on the display in response to the vehicle operating data and the object detected, wherein the processing unit is configured to control the field of view by;
selecting a first portion of the field of view for display in response to the operating data communicating that a speed of the vehicle is less than a first speed threshold;
selecting a second portion of the field of view for display in response to the operating data communicating that a speed of the vehicle is greater than the first speed threshold; and
selecting the first portion of the field of view for display in response to the object detected within a predetermined distance of the vehicle, wherein the first portion of the field of view is prioritized for display in response to the object detected within a predetermined distance range of the vehicle.

Abstract
A display system for use in a vehicle is disclosed including an imager configured to capture images corresponding to a field of view rearward of the vehicle. The imager is in communication with a processing unit configured to receive data representative of the captured images from the imager. A display is in communication with the processing unit which is configured to display images based on the data representative of the captured images received by the processing unit. The processing unit is configured to receive vehicle operating data from the vehicle and data corresponding to a detection of an object in proximity of the vehicle. In response to the vehicle operating data and the object detected, the processing unit is configured to control the field of view of the at least one imager.

7. A system for presenting a rearward view from a vehicle comprising:
-
an imager configured to capture images corresponding to an optic field of view rearward of the vehicle; a processing unit in communication with the imager, the processing unit configured to receive data representative of the captured images; a display in communication with the processing unit, the display configured to display images based on the data representative of the captured images received by the processing unit in a displayed field of view; and wherein the processing unit is configured to; receive vehicle operating data from the vehicle; process the data representative of the captured images to detect an object in the optic field of view; alter the displayed field of view from a first field of view to a second field of view in response to the vehicle operating data identifying that the vehicle has exceeded a first speed threshold; and alter the displayed field of view from the second field of view to the first field of view in response to the object detected within a predetermined distance, wherein the processing unit is configured to prioritize the display of the first field of view instead of the second field of view in response to the object detected within the predetermined distance. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method of controlling a display system of a vehicle, the method comprising in a display processing unit, the steps of:
-
receiving and analyzing image data of a scene rearward of a vehicle; receiving vehicle operating data comprising a vehicle speed; detecting an object in the image data; displaying the image data on a display; comparing the vehicle speed to at least one speed threshold; altering a display of the field of view of the image data from a first field of view to at least a second field of view in response to the vehicle operating data identifying the vehicle has exceeded the at least one speed threshold; and prioritizing a display of the first field of view in response to detecting the object within a predetermined distance in the image data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
