International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348 78, 348E07085

Abstract:

A system and method for providing information to a driver of a vehicle includes: an image-capture device; a head or eye-gaze tracker; at least one processor; and an output device. The image-capture device captures an image of an environment external to a vehicle. The head or eye-gaze tracker determines an item a driver of the vehicle is viewing. The at least one processor processes the captured image. The at least one processor also translates language contained in the captured image of the item the driver is viewing to a second language, or determines point-of-interest information based on the captured image of the item the driver is viewing. The output device outputs information containing the second translated language of the captured image of the item the driver is viewing, or containing the determined point-of-interest information based on the captured image of the item the driver is viewing.

Assignee:

VISTEON GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Van Buren Twp. MI

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715810

Abstract:

An adaptive display system includes a display component to present an image to a user, a sensor for detecting a vision characteristic of the user and generating a sensor signal representing the vision characteristic of the user; and a processor in communication with the sensor and the display component, wherein the processor receives the sensor signal, analyzes the sensor signal based upon an instruction set to determine the vision characteristic of the user, and controls a visual output of the display component based upon the vision characteristic of the user.

Assignee:

VISTEON GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Van Buren Twp. MI

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345156

Abstract:

An adaptive display system includes a user interface having a display for generating a visual output to a user, a sensor for capturing an image of a tracking region of the user and generating a sensor signal representing the captured image, and a processor in communication with the sensor and the display, wherein the processor receives the sensor signal, analyzes the sensor signal based upon an instruction set to determine a displacement of the tracking region of the user, and controls a visual indicator presented on the display based upon the displacement of the tracking region of the user.
