Apparatus and method for displaying a blind spot

Abstract

The aim of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for displaying a blind spot, which involve displaying at least one image of the surroundings of a vehicle, said image being provided by an imaging unit including a camera, a GPS navigation system, and / or a street-view receiver, so as to provide a driver with information on the blind spots of a front portion, a rear portion, and a side portion of a vehicle that are hidden by said vehicle and thus not easily seen within the field of view of the drive during the travel of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and a method for displaying a peripheral blind area of ​​a vehicle, in particular to displaying at least one peripheral image of a vehicle provided by a camera, a navigator, a street view receiver, etc., so as to provide the driver with a view of being blocked by the vehicle body as the vehicle travels. Blind spot information on the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle where it is difficult to ensure the driver's field of vision. Background technique [0002] Generally, a vehicle is a device that uses a prime mover such as an engine equipped on the vehicle body as a power source to transport people or goods on roads or the like, or perform various operations. The driver of the vehicle is safe while watching the direction of travel. drive the vehicle. [0003] However, if figure 1 As shown, in a common vehicle, the front portion adjacent to the vehicle 10 is not reflected in the driver's field of vision becau...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, if figure 1 As shown, in a common vehicle, the front portion adjacent to the vehicle 10 is not reflected in the driver's field of vision because the front portion of the engine and the like required to drive the vehicle 10 are provided, thereby forming a blind spot 20, and because the vehicle 10 The trunk at the rear of the car forms a blind spot 30 that limits a part of the rear view, and forms a blind spot 40 that limits a part of the side view due to the doors of the vehicle, etc.

[0004] This blind spot 20, 30, 40 refers to the area at an angle that cannot be observed with the naked eye. If the driver's front and rear vision is limited by the part of the vehicle body, when driving, due to driving in an open front. However, when the vehicle is parked, there will be various obstacles around the vehicle 10, so when the obstacles are located in the blind spot, it is difficult to ensure the driver's field of vision, thus causing parking problems. Inconvenience

[0005] Moreover, when the vehicle is parked, an unskilled driver may collide with an obstacle because he does not find the obstacle ahead or behind him. Parking is only possible by avoiding obstacles while looking up and looking directly at the front and rear. However, this can only ensure a partial view, so there is a problem that parking is very difficult.

[0006] Moreover, even if the driver recognizes that there is an obstacle in front or behind the vehicle, when concentrating on driving or parking, he will temporarily lose the memory of the recognized obstacle, and there is a problem of colliding with the obstacle.
