1. A transparent display apparatus which is used in a vehicle, the transparent display apparatus comprising:
- a transparent display;
a communication unit which receives surrounding situation information;
a detector which detects at least one gaze direction of a user in the vehicle; and
a controller which determines a danger element located in an area adjacent to the vehicle based on the at least one gaze direction of the user detected by the detector and the surrounding situation information, the danger element including a first object having at least a portion of the first object hidden by a second object as an obstacle in the detected at least one gaze direction of the user,wherein the controller;
determines, from among regions of the transparent display, a first region through which the first object is located corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user, and a second region through which the second object is located corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user; and
determines that the second object is the obstacle when the first and second regions corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user at least partially overlap to determine that the first object has at least the portion of the first object hidden by the second object.

Abstract
A transparent display apparatus which is used in a transportation apparatus includes: a communication unit which receives surrounding situation information, a controller which recognizes surrounding objects using the surrounding situation information, and determines a danger element that is likely to collide with the transportation apparatus using characteristics of the surrounding objects and a movement characteristic of the transportation apparatus, and a transparent display which displays information for informing a user of the danger element. Accordingly, a surrounding situation can be effectively presented.

1. A transparent display apparatus which is used in a vehicle, the transparent display apparatus comprising:
-
a transparent display; a communication unit which receives surrounding situation information; a detector which detects at least one gaze direction of a user in the vehicle; and a controller which determines a danger element located in an area adjacent to the vehicle based on the at least one gaze direction of the user detected by the detector and the surrounding situation information, the danger element including a first object having at least a portion of the first object hidden by a second object as an obstacle in the detected at least one gaze direction of the user, wherein the controller; determines, from among regions of the transparent display, a first region through which the first object is located corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user, and a second region through which the second object is located corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user; and determines that the second object is the obstacle when the first and second regions corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user at least partially overlap to determine that the first object has at least the portion of the first object hidden by the second object. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method for displaying of a transparent display apparatus comprising a transparent display to be used in a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving surrounding situation information; detecting at least one gaze direction of a user in the vehicle; determining a danger element located in an area adjacent to the vehicle, based on the detected at least one gaze direction of the user through the transparent display and on the surrounding situation information, the danger element including a first object that is at least partially hidden by a second object as an obstacle in the detected at least one gaze direction of the user; and controlling the transparent display to provide notification information regarding the danger element and different types of notification information on an area of the transparent display associated with an actual location of the first object having at least a portion of the object hidden by the second object as the obstacle, wherein the determining the danger element comprises; determining, from among regions of the transparent display, a first region through which the first object is located corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user, and a second region through which the second object is located corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user; and determining that the second object is the obstacle when determined that the first and second regions corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user at least partially overlap to determine that the first object has at least the portion of the first object hidden by the second object. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A user terminal apparatus comprising:
-
an interface which is connectible with a vehicle; a communication unit which receives surrounding situation information; a detector which detects at least one gaze direction of a user in the vehicle; and a controller which; determines a danger element located in an area adjacent to the vehicle based on the at least one gaze direction of the user detected by the detector and on the surrounding situation information, the danger element including a first object having at least a portion of the object hidden by a second object as an obstacle in the detected at least one gaze direction of the user, and provide notification information regarding the danger element, wherein the controller; determines, from among regions of the transparent display, a first region through which the first object is located corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user, and a second region through which the second object is located corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user; and determines that the second object is the obstacle when the first and second regions corresponding to the detected at least one gaze direction of the user at least partially overlap to determine that the first object has at least the portion of the first object hidden by the second object. - View Dependent Claims (22)
