Abstract

The invention relates to a driver information system having a heads-up display system (6) for the representation of particular objects in a manner that is contact analog and locationally correct, wherein information about the positions thereof as well as other information, particularly points of interest (POI), is stored in a digital street map. In order to output the additional information with an orientation that is clearer for the driver, it is suggested according to the invention that the additional information about particular objects can be output acoustically. In addition, the acoustic output is correlated to the optical output, which relates to the position display in the heads-up display system, in such a manner that the driver can assign the audio output to the associated optical position display.

Description

FAHRERINFORMATIONSSYSTEM FÜR EIN KRAFTFAHRZEUGDRIVER INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrerinformationssystem für ein Kraftfahrzeug, mit einem informationsgebenden System, das Zugang zu einer digitalen Straßenkarte mit weiteren Informationen über besondere Objekte, insbesondere Points of Interest (POI) in der Umgebung des Kraftfahrzeugs hat, wobei den besonderen Objekten Positionen in dieser digitalen Straßenkarte zugeordnet sind, und mit einem Head-Up Display System zur kontaktanalogen, ortskorrekten Darstellung der besonderen Objekte in Bezug auf die Position.The invention relates to a driver information system for a motor vehicle, having an information-providing system that has access to a digital road map with further information about particular objects, in particular points of interest (POI) in the vicinity of the motor vehicle, wherein the special objects positions in this digital road map associated with a head-up display system for contact-analog, location-correct representation of the special objects in relation to the position.

Ein derartiges Fahrerinformationssystem ist z.B. aus der DE 101 31 720 Al bekannt, wobei es sich bei den weiteren Informationen über besondere Objekte, beispielsweise um eine Routeninformation, handelt. Als ortskorrekte Darstellung wird im weiteren die korrekte Überlagerung der projizierten Objekte mit dem realen Fahrzeugaußenraum bezeichnet, d.h. die Dar- Stellungen der Objekte werden genau an den Orten in dasSuch a driver information system is e.g. known from DE 101 31 720 Al, wherein it is in the further information on special objects, for example, a route information, is. In the following, the correct superimposition of the projected objects with the real vehicle exterior is referred to as a location-correct representation, i. the representations of the objects are exactly at the places in the

Blickfeld des Fahrers eingeblendet, wo das jeweilige reale Objekt zu sehen ist.Field of view of the driver is shown, where the respective real object can be seen.

Zukünftige Head-up Displays werden Informationen direkt in das reale Bild einblenden können. Diese Displays werden im allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch kontaktanaloge beziehungsweise Augmented Reality Head-up Displays genannt. Dem Fahrer können mit Hilfe dieser Technik z.B. Navigationshinweise gegeben werden, indem die vor ihm liegende Straße bis zum Horizont farbig markiert wird oder Navigationshinweise, die als Pfeile direkt auf der Fahrbahn liegen, angezeigt werden. Auch Fahrspuren oder vom ACC-System (Fahrerassistenzsystem zur Längs- führung) detektierte vorausfahrende Fahrzeuge können dem Fahrer direkt in das Blickfeld eingeblendet werden. Gleiches gilt für die Visualisierung sogenannter POIs (Points of Inte- rest) , wie beispielweise Museen, Kirchen, Tankstellen usw. Die Orte solcher POIs und gegebenenfalls weiterführende Informationen zum POI (Name der Kirche, Öffnungszeiten eines Museums) sind in der digitalen Straßenkarte eines Fahrzeugs abgelegt oder können aus dem Internet geladen werden. Der Ort der POI kann, wenn die eigene Position und Ausrichtung des Fahrzeugs in der Straßenkarte bekannt sind, ebenfalls eingeblendet werden. Dabei sind der Visualisierung Grenzen gesetzt, da die Augmented Reality Visualisierung jedoch in erster Linie auf der Visualisierung von Symbolen basiert. Darstellung von Text wird vermieden, da es „unnatürlich" ist - d.h. der natürlichen Umgebung widerspricht - und den Fahrer ablenken könnte. Es ist bisher unklar, wie unter diesen Umständen eine Vermittlung von weiterführenden Informationen zu einem besonderen Objekt, z.B. einem POI, also Informationen, die über eine Positionsanzeige hinausgehen, erfolgen könnte, ohne die Anzeige im Augmented Reality System zu überfrachten.Future head-up displays will be able to display information directly in the real image. These displays are commonly referred to as contact analog or augmented reality head-up displays. The driver can be given with the help of this technique, for example, navigation instructions by the road ahead of him is marked in color to the horizon or navigation instructions that are as arrows directly on the road, are displayed. Even lanes or from the ACC system (driver assistance system for longitudinal guidance) detected preceding vehicles can be shown to the driver directly in the field of vision. The same applies to the visualization of so-called POIs (Points of Interest), such as museums, churches, petrol stations, etc. The locations of such POIs and possibly further information about the POI (name of the church, opening hours of a museum) are in the digital map of a vehicle filed or can be downloaded from the Internet. The location of the POI, if the own position and orientation of the vehicle in the road map are known, also be displayed. There are limits to visualization, however, since augmented reality visualization is based primarily on the visualization of symbols. Presentation of text is avoided because it is "unnatural" - ie it contradicts the natural environment - and could distract the driver It is unclear how, under these circumstances, conveying further information about a particular object, eg a POI, ie information that could go beyond a position indicator, without overloading the display in the augmented reality system.

Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention

Weiterbildungen und bevorzugte Maßnahmen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen .The driver information system of a motor vehicle according to the invention is characterized in claim 1. Further developments and preferred measures emerge from the subclaims.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Fahrerinformationssystem ist, über die gattungsgemäßen Merkmale hinaus, vorgesehen, dass die weiteren Informationen über besondere Objekte akustisch ausgebbar sind, wobei die akustische Ausgabe mit der optischen, die Positionsanzeige im Head-Up Display System betreffenden, Ausgabe so korreliert ist, dass der Fahrer die Audioausgabe der zugehörigen, optischen Positionsanzeige zuordnen kann. Die Erfindung beschreibt im Kern eine definierte, beispielsweise synchrone Kopplung von visueller (optischer) Information (Anzeige im Augmented Reality - Head up Display) mit einer Audioausgabe über die Lautsprecher des Fahrzeugs. Die Ver- mittlung der Position des POIs erfolgt über das AugmentedIn the driver information system according to the invention, in addition to the generic features, provided that the further information about special objects can be output acoustically, the acoustic output with the optical, the position display in the head-up display system, output is correlated so that the Driver can assign the audio output to the associated optical position indicator. The invention basically describes a defined, for example, synchronous coupling of visual (optical) information (display in Augmented Reality - Head up Display) with an audio output via the speakers of the vehicle. The position of the POI is communicated via the augmented system

Reality - Head up Display, die der weiterführenden Information über die Audioausgabe. Dabei werden beide Ausgaben auf eine für den Fahrer deutlich erkennbare Weise miteinander verkoppelt, so dass er eine Assoziation zwischen Video und Audio vornehmen kann. Diese Kopplung kann beispielsweise durch eine definierte Verfärbung der POI-Anzeige erreicht werden, die genau dann vorgenommen wird, wenn die Audio-Ausgabe startet.Reality - Head up Display, which is the further information about the audio output. Both editions are coupled together in a way that is clearly recognizable to the driver so that he can make an association between video and audio. This coupling can be achieved, for example, by a defined discoloration of the POI display, which is performed exactly when the audio output starts.

Der Hauptvorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass dem Fahrer auch komplexe Informationen zu besonderen Objekten, insbesondere POIs, vermittelt werden können, deren visuelle Präsentation unter der Berücksichtigung von Wahrnehmungsaspekten nicht möglich wäre (erlaubte/sinnvolle Textmenge und Schriftgröße, Lesbarkeit des Textes, Gefahr der Ablenkung vom Ver- kehrsgeschehen durch Aufmerksamkeitszuwendung zum Text, Verdeckung von Objekten durch den Text usw.) .The main advantage of the invention is that the driver can also be provided with complex information on special objects, in particular POIs, whose visual presentation would not be possible under the consideration of perceptual aspects (permitted / reasonable amount of text and font size, readability of the text, risk of distraction from the traffic situation by paying attention to the text, obscuring objects through the text, etc.).

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Beginn der Audioausgabe im Wesentlichen synchron an das Erscheinen der optischen Positionsanzeige gekoppelt.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the beginning of the audio output is coupled substantially synchronously to the appearance of the optical position indicator.

Gemäß einer als besonders vorteilhaft angesehenen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist eine bereits erschienene optische Positionsanzeige optisch veränderbar, sobald das Kraftfahr- zeug eine vorgegebene Distanz zum optisch angezeigten besonderen Objekt unterschreitet, oder der Fahrer ein der Anforderung von weiteren Informationen dienendes Bedienungselement betätigt, und ist der Beginn der Audioausgabe im Wesentlichen synchron an das Auftreten der optischen Veränderung der opti- sehen Positionsanzeige gekoppelt. Dabei ist die optische Veränderung der optischen Positionsanzeige beendbar, sobald die Audioausgabe startet oder endet. Gemäß einer Weiterbildung dieser Ausführungsformen kann die optische Veränderung durch eine Veränderung hinsichtlich mindestens eines der Parameter Größe, Form und Farbe der optischen Positionsanzeige implementiert werden.According to an embodiment of the invention which is considered to be particularly advantageous, an optical position indicator already displayed can be optically changed as soon as the motor vehicle falls below a predetermined distance from the visually displayed special object, or the driver actuates a control element serving the request of further information, and is the start the audio output substantially synchronously coupled to the occurrence of the optical change of the optical position indicator. The optical change of the optical position indicator can be terminated as soon as the audio output starts or ends. According to a development According to these embodiments, the optical change may be implemented by a change in at least one of the size, shape and color of the optical position indicator.

Es ist vorteilhaft, dass die optische Positionsanzeige erscheint, sobald das jeweilige besondere Objekt in Sichtweite des Fahrers gerät.It is advantageous that the optical position indicator appears as soon as the respective particular object comes within sight of the driver.

Die Erfindung lässt sich mit Vorteil nicht nur auf touristisch interessante POIs anwenden, sondern auch, wenn es sich bei den besonderen Objekten um andere Kraftfahrzeuge handelt, zu denen das Kraftfahrzeug eine Fahrzeug-zu-Fahrzeug- Kommunikation (C2C) unterhält. Des Weiteren ist es auch mög- lieh, dass es sich bei den besonderen Objekten um für die Fahrsicherheit relevante Objekte, insbesondere andere Verkehrsteilnehmer, handelt.Advantageously, the invention can not only be applied to touristically interesting POIs, but also if the particular objects are other motor vehicles to which the motor vehicle maintains vehicle-to-vehicle communication (C2C). Furthermore, it is also possible that the special objects are objects relevant to driving safety, in particular other road users.

Das erfindungsgemäße Fahrerinformationssystem kann vorteil- haft in vorhandene Fahrzeugnavigationssysteme eingebunden werden, insbesondere in der Weise, dass das Fahrzeuginformationssystem ein Fahrzeugnavigationssystem umfasst oder als Teil eines Fahrzeugnavigationssystems ausgebildet ist.The driver information system according to the invention can advantageously be integrated into existing vehicle navigation systems, in particular in such a way that the vehicle information system comprises a vehicle navigation system or is designed as part of a vehicle navigation system.

Kurze Beschreibung der ZeichnungenBrief description of the drawings

Figur 2 zeigt den Aufbau des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrerinformationssystems in einem Blockdiagramm.Figure 2 shows the structure of the driver information system according to the invention in a block diagram.

Ausführungsform der ErfindungEmbodiment of the invention

Figur 1 zeigt das Sichtfeld eines Fahrers eines Fahrzeugs durch die Windschutzscheibe 1. Gezeigt ist die Situation eines gerade in das Sichtfeld des Fahrers geratenen besonderen Objekts POI, das sich rechts neben der gerade befahrenen Straße 8 befindet. Das Head-Up Display System (vgl. Figur 2), das Zugriff auf ein informationsgebendes System mit Zugang zu einer digitalen Straßenkarte hat, in der, über die reine Po- sitionsangabe hinaus, weitere Informationen, insbesondere ü- ber das in Figur 1 dargestellte POI, vorliegen, erzeugt in an sich bekannter Weise ein bildhaftes Symbol des POI und projiziert es an die Stelle im Sichtfeld des Fahrers, an der sich das reale, aufgrund der Sichtverhältnisse gegebenenfalls nicht oder nur schlecht sichtbare Objekt befindet. Die weiteren, zu dem betreffenden POI gespeicherten Informationen, die beispielsweise die Öffnungszeiten eines Museums beinhalten, werden erfindungsgemäß über die im Fahrzeug vorhandenen Lautsprecher 2 ausgegeben.Figure 1 shows the field of view of a driver of a vehicle through the windshield 1. Shown is the situation of a particular who has just fallen into the driver's field of vision Object POI, which is located to the right of the road 8 which is currently being driven. The head-up display system (see FIG. 2), which has access to an information-providing system with access to a digital road map, in which, in addition to the pure position information, further information, in particular about that shown in FIG POI, present, generates in a known manner a pictorial symbol of the POI and projects it to the point in the field of vision of the driver, where the real, due to the visibility is not or only slightly visible object. The further information stored on the relevant POI, which for example includes the opening times of a museum, are output according to the invention via the loudspeakers 2 present in the vehicle.

Figur 2 zeigt in einem Blockdiagramm den Aufbau des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrerinformationssystems mit einem informati- onsgebenden System 3. Erkennbar in Figur 2 ist weiterhin Mittel 7 zur Erzeugung der Audioausgabe, Mittel 5 zur Initiie- rung und Kontrolle der optischen Positionsanzeige und Mittel 4 zur Koordination der Audioausgabe mit der optischen Positionsanzeige .FIG. 2 shows in a block diagram the structure of the driver information system according to the invention with an information-generating system 3. Recognizable in FIG. 2 is also means 7 for generating the audio output, means 5 for initiating and checking the optical position indicator and means 4 for coordinating the audio output with the optical position indicator.

Über das informationsgebende System 3 (z.B. Navigationssystem mit POI-Datenbank oder entsprechender Anbindung an das Internet) werden alle relevanten Informationen über POIs bereitgestellt. Diese werden durch die Einheit „Koordination Ausgabe" 4 aufgenommen und weiterverarbeitet. Einerseits wird mit Hilfe der Mittel 7 eine Audioausgabe erzeugt (gegebenenfalls muss hierbei noch eine Text-to-Speech-Umsetzung vorgenommen werden, wenn die weiterführende Information in Textform vorliegt) . Weiterhin wird die Visualisierung des POI im Head up Display initiiert und kontrolliert. Dies geschieht auf eine definierte Weise, so dass der Fahrer die Audioausgabe der Vi- sualisierung zuordnen kann. Dies kann beispielsweise erreicht werden, indem die Audioausgabe startet, sobald die Visualisierung des POI erscheint. Bei einer alternativen Ausgestaltung wird die Visualisierung zunächst aktiv, sobald der POI in Sichtweite gerät. Sobald dann eine vorher definierte Distanz unterschritten wird oder der Fahrer einen entsprechenden Knopf drückt, verändert sich kurzzeitig die Anzeige (Form/Größe und/oder entsprechende Farbe; hierzu könnte im HMI-Konzept eine Größe/Form/Farbe zur allgemeinen Signalisierung von „Kopplung mit Audio- Information" vereinbart werden) . Zeitnah startet dann die Au- dioausgabe, so dass der Fahrer die Zuordnung zur Visualisierung vornehmen kann. Die Veränderung der Visualisierung wird rückgängig gemacht, sobald die Audioinformation startet oder beendet wurde.The information-providing system 3 (eg navigation system with POI database or corresponding connection to the Internet) provides all relevant information about POIs. These are recorded and processed by the unit "coordination output" 4. On the one hand, an audio output is generated with the aid of means 7 (if necessary, a text-to-speech conversion must be carried out if the further information is in text form) The visualization of the POI is initiated and controlled in the head-up display in a defined manner so that the driver can assign the audio output to the visualization, for example by starting the audio output as soon as the visualization of the POI appears , In an alternative embodiment, the visualization initially becomes active as soon as the POI is in sight. As soon as a predefined distance is undershot or the driver presses a corresponding button, the display changes briefly (shape / size and / or corresponding color, for which a size / shape / color could be used in the HMI concept for the general signaling of "coupling with The audio output then starts timely, so that the driver can make the assignment to the visualization.The change in the visualization is reversed as soon as the audio information is started or ended.

Eine Erweiterung der beschriebenen Funktion ist denkbar, indem die erfindungsgemäße Idee nicht nur auf stationäre POIs angewendet wird, sondern auch auf andere Objekte im Umfeld des Fahrzeugs. Eine derartige Möglichkeit eröffnet sich im Zusammenhang mit C2C-Funktionen, die in an sich bekannter Weise, vergleiche DE 10 2006 041 669 Al, Freisprechfunktionen/Chatten mit einem Fahrzeug in der Nähe (ähnlich Walkie- Talkie) , umfassen. Wenn eine Botschaft vom anderen Fahrzeug empfangen wird, wird dieses im Augmented Reality - Head up Display in der zuvor beschriebenen Weise farblich gekenn- zeichnet. Dadurch ist auch bei der Kommunikation mit mehreren Fahrzeugen eine Zuordnung der Sprachnachricht zum Sender ohne Verwirrung möglich. Gleiches gilt für den Eingang von Warnmeldungen (Glatteis, Unfall usw.) . Falls sichtbar, könnte die Quelle der Information eingeblendet werden.An extension of the described function is conceivable in that the idea according to the invention is applied not only to stationary POIs but also to other objects in the environment of the vehicle. Such a possibility opens up in the context of C2C functions, which in a manner known per se, cf. DE 10 2006 041 669 A1, include hands-free functions / chatting with a vehicle in the vicinity (similar to walkie-talkie). When a message is received by the other vehicle, it is color coded in the manner described above in the Augmented Reality - Head up Display. As a result, an assignment of the voice message to the transmitter without confusion is possible even when communicating with multiple vehicles. The same applies to the receipt of warning messages (black ice, accident, etc.). If visible, the source of the information could be displayed.

Eine weitere Anwendungsmöglichkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrerinformationssystems eröffnet sich hinsichtlich von verkehrsrelevanten Warnungen. Zum Beispiel könnte eine akustische Warnung bei gleichzeitiger Einblendung eines Warntextes („Achtung Querverkehr", „Achtung Fußgänger", „Achtung unbekanntes Objekt auf der Fahrbahn") ausgegeben werden.
