• - Erstellen einer, insbesondere ikonografischen und/oder symbolischen, Darstellung von dem Objekt im Sichtfeld des Benutzers, vorzugsweise am Head-up-Display, bevor das Objekt tatsächlich in das Sichtfeld des Benutzers kommt,

wobei die Darstellung von dem Objekt dynamisch in Position und Größe angepasst wird,
wobei die Position der Darstellung in Abhängigkeit von einer Richtung verändert wird, aus welcher sich das Objekt dem Fahrzeug nähert,
und wobei die Größe der Darstellung in Abhängigkeit von einem Abstand zwischen dem Objekt und dem Fahrzeug, insbesondere entlang einer Fahrtrichtung und/oder einer Fahrbahn, verändert wird.The invention provides: a method for proactively warning a user (e.g. a driver) of a vehicle about safety-relevant objects in the area surrounding the vehicle, in particular using a head-up display, preferably when the vehicle is moving or during mobile operation of the vehicle ,
having the following actions/process steps:

• - Detecting an object in the area surrounding the vehicle, which is relevant to the safety of the operation of the vehicle and which is outside the user's field of vision or field of vision,
• - Creating a, in particular iconographic and/or symbolic, representation of the object in the user's field of vision, preferably on the head-up display, before the object actually comes into the user's field of vision,

whereby the representation of the object is dynamically adjusted in position and size,
wherein the position of the representation is changed depending on a direction from which the object approaches the vehicle,
and wherein the size of the representation is changed depending on a distance between the object and the vehicle, in particular along a direction of travel and/or a roadway.

According to the method, the distance between the object and the vehicle can be measured along a direction of travel and/or a roadway of the vehicle.

According to the method, the detection of an object in the area surrounding the vehicle can be carried out using V2X communication. In addition, according to the method, information from a navigation service, a weather service and/or a radio station can be taken into account when detecting an object in the area surrounding the vehicle.

According to the method, the representation, in particular iconographic and/or symbolic, of the object in the user's field of vision can be created, for example on the head-up display.

In the method, it can be provided in particular that the representation of the object in the user's field of vision begins proactively or in advance, before the object actually appears in the user's field of vision.

Advantageously, only those objects that can be security-relevant can be displayed in advance. For this purpose, a current traffic situation can be analyzed. In this way, customer comfort can be significantly improved.

In the method, it can be provided that the object is displayed in the user's field of vision from a predefined distance to the vehicle.

In addition, text could be added, the position of the danger could be marked on a map, the danger could be announced acoustically or the direction could be communicated purely iconographically.

With the help of the invention, a dynamic representation of an object approaching one's own vehicle but not yet visible is created, which is direction-related and distance-related. Advantageously, the display can be provided using a head-up display, a hologram and/or a rear-view mirror. Although the object is not yet visible, the representation allows the user to intuitively, easily perceive and understand the object in his field of vision. Advantageously, the display does not require the user to look away, since the display is made possible directly in the user's field of vision. The representation can enable improved perception of the object using individualized icons (so-called icons) and/or symbols for different objects. The representation can also include animations for improved perception of the object, for example comprising a symbolically indicated siren signal in an emergency vehicle, a symbolically indicated weather sign in a meteorological event, a symbolically represented obstacle on the road, a symbolically represented person on the road, etc symbolically represented traffic jam, etc.

Once the object actually comes into the user's field of vision, the object itself can be made visible. The object can also be marked, highlighted, labeled, etc.

An example of such a safety-relevant object can be explained using an emergency vehicle or emergency vehicle approaching from behind. First, a position of the ambulance can be recorded, for example using V2X communication, such as: B. V2V communication with other vehicles. The direction from which the ambulance approaches the vehicle and the distance to the vehicle can then be recorded. If the distance to the ego vehicle falls below a predefined distance, for example 200m, the user can be informed about the approaching rescue vehicle using the display. In order to make it clear that the emergency vehicle is coming from behind, an iconographic representation of the ambulance from bottom to top with a corresponding perspective change in size, for example becoming smaller, can be animated in the head-up display. In addition, especially in the case of high criticality, for example with an ambulance very close, the direction of the approaching emergency vehicle can be shown at the corners of the field of vision using, for example, arrows. As soon as the emergency vehicle becomes visible in the rearview or exterior mirror, it can be marked there in a contact-like manner, for example by a frame. For example, if the emergency vehicle drives past the ego vehicle on the left, this can be visualized accordingly in the head-up display, for example by an arrow pointing in the direction of the emergency vehicle or from the direction of the emergency vehicle. As soon as the emergency vehicle is in the field of view of the head-up display, even if only partially, it is marked there to make it clear that this was the reason for the previous display.

Information can also be displayed regarding accidents, animals, people or obstacles on the road, poor visibility, stranded people, approaching public transport such as trains, construction sites, slippery roads, traffic jams or wind. Indications that are spatially in front of the vehicle can be displayed from top to bottom with a corresponding change in perspective size, for example becoming larger - this can happen analogously to the behavior of objects actually placed in the environment that the ego vehicle is approaching. This can include all of the features mentioned above. Likewise, some dangers can also come from the side, for example emergency vehicles. Accordingly, these can be animated from left to right or the other way around in the field of view.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that when the object approaches the vehicle from behind, the position of the representation in the user's field of vision is from below is changed upwards and the size of the display becomes smaller the closer the object gets to the vehicle. By changing the position of the display from bottom to top, the direction from which the object approaches the vehicle from behind can be displayed easily and intuitively. By changing the size of the representation, in particular becoming smaller, it can be signaled that the object is moving from close up (behind the vehicle, the representation is initially relatively large) to the distance (overtaking and leading to the front, the representation becomes increasingly smaller). ) emotional. In this way, an intuitive, easily perceivable and understandable perception of the object approaching from behind by the user in his field of vision can be made possible.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that when the object approaches the vehicle from the front, the position of the representation in the user's field of vision is changed from top to bottom, and the size of the representation is shown increasing the closer the object comes to the vehicle . By changing the position of the display from top to bottom, the direction from which the object approaches the vehicle from the front can be displayed easily and intuitively. The changing size of the display, in particular increasing size, can signal that the object is moving from a distance (far in front of the vehicle, the display is initially relatively small) to close (just in front of the vehicle, the display becomes increasingly larger). emotional. In this way, an intuitive, easily perceivable and understandable perception of the object approaching from the front in the user's field of vision can be made possible.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that if the object approaches the vehicle from left to right or from right to left, the position of the representation in the user's field of vision is changed from left to right or from right to left, and the size of the representation is kept constant. By changing the position of the display from left to right or from right to left, the direction from which the object approaches the vehicle from the side can be displayed easily and intuitively. The constant size of the display can be used to signal that the object is at approximately the same height as your own vehicle, especially in relation to the direction of travel of the vehicle.

Advantageously, the distance between the object and the vehicle can be measured along a direction of travel and/or a roadway of the vehicle. In this way, an improved representation based on the direction of travel of the vehicle can be made possible.

In addition, it can be advantageous if the detection of an object in the area surrounding the vehicle is carried out using V2X communication, and/or if information from a navigation service, a weather service and/or from a radio station is taken into account when detecting an object in the area around the vehicle . In this way, improved detection can be made possible. In addition, this can enable an improved evaluation of the danger potential posed by the object.

In addition, it can be advantageous if the object is displayed in the user's field of vision from a predefined distance to the vehicle. This means that the area around the vehicle in which safety-relevant objects can be detected can be limited. This also means that the user's attention can only be directed to objects that are actually relevant. This can increase customer comfort.

In principle, it is conceivable that the representation of the object in the user's field of vision is created using a head-up display, a hologram and/or a rear-view mirror. In this way, it can be made possible that the user's gaze is not distracted from the road as much as possible by the display.

Alternatively, it is conceivable that the representation of the object in the user's field of vision is projected onto an extendable display element and/or onto a windshield of the vehicle. In this way, improved technologies can be used for augmented reality displays that combine the virtual and real worlds.

Advantageously, it can be provided that when the object appears in the user's field of vision, the object itself is displayed in the user's field of vision, preferably on the head-up display, and / or wherein, when the object appears in the user's field of vision, the Object marked in the user's field of vision, preferably on the head-up display, is displayed, in particular with the help of a frame, color highlighting, sharpening of the contour, etc. In this way, the user's perception of the outside world can be improved.

In this way, only those objects that may be security-relevant can be represented in advance. For this purpose, a current traffic situation can be analyzed.

According to a further advantage, the representation can include individual iconographic and/or symbolic elements for different objects that are assessed as security-relevant. This can improve the perception of different objects.

According to a further advantage, the display for different objects can take place from an individually predefined distance to the vehicle. This can also significantly improve the perception of different objects. For example, an emergency vehicle can be displayed earlier or from a further distance than a vehicle that is traveling too fast, because further actions may be required by the user, such as: B. Forming an emergency lane, etc.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the representation of the object is supported by acoustic cues and/or text cues. This can also significantly improve the perception of different objects.

The 1 until 3 serve to explain a procedure that is predictive Warning a user of a vehicle 100 about safety-relevant objects O in the environment of the vehicle 100 was developed, in particular with the aid of a head-up display 201, preferably when the vehicle 100 is moving or during mobile operation of the vehicle 100.

• - Erfassen eines Objekts O im Umfeld des Fahrzeuges 100, welches für die Sicherheit im Betrieb des Fahrzeuges 100 relevant ist und welches sich (noch) außerhalb eines Sichtfeldes 200 des Benutzers befindet,
• - Erstellen einer, insbesondere ikonografischen und/oder symbolischen, Darstellung S von dem Objekt O im Sichtfeld 200 des Benutzers, vorzugsweise am Head-up-Display 201, bevor das Objekt O tatsächlich in das Sichtfeld 200 des Benutzers kommt,

wobei die Darstellung S von dem Objekt O dynamisch in Position und Größe angepasst wird (vgl. die Ansichten von 1, 2 und 3),
wobei die Position der Darstellung S in Abhängigkeit von einer Richtung R verändert wird, aus welcher sich das Objekt O dem Fahrzeug 100 nähert,
und wobei die Größe der Darstellung S in Abhängigkeit von einem Abstand A zwischen dem Objekt O und dem Fahrzeug 100, insbesondere entlang einer Fahrtrichtung und/oder einer Fahrbahn, verändert wird.The procedure has the following actions/procedural steps:

• - Detecting an object O in the environment of the vehicle 100, which is relevant for the safety in the operation of the vehicle 100 and which is (still) outside a field of vision 200 of the user,
• - Creating a, in particular iconographic and/or symbolic, representation S of the object O in the user's field of vision 200, preferably on the head-up display 201, before the object O actually comes into the user's field of vision 200,

where the representation S of the object O is dynamically adjusted in position and size (cf. the views of 1 , 2 and 3 ),
wherein the position of the representation S is changed depending on a direction R from which the object O approaches the vehicle 100,
and wherein the size of the representation S is changed depending on a distance A between the object O and the vehicle 100, in particular along a direction of travel and/or a roadway.

As already mentioned above, the distance A between the object O and the vehicle 100 can be measured along a direction of travel and/or a roadway of the vehicle 100.

The detection of an object O in the environment of the vehicle 100 can preferably be carried out using V2X communication. In addition, when detecting an object O in the area surrounding the vehicle 100, information from a navigation service, a weather service and/or a radio station can be taken into account.

For example, the representation S can be created using a head-up display, a hologram and/or a rearview mirror. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the representation S is projected onto an extendable display element and/or onto a windshield of the vehicle 100.

For different objects O, individual symbols or icons and/or symbols can be provided in the display.

In the method, it can be provided in particular that the representation S of the object O in the user's field of vision 200 begins in advance or before the object O actually comes into the user's field of vision 200.

Advantageously, only those objects O that can be relevant to safety if they come into the environment of the vehicle 100 can be displayed in advance. For this purpose, a current traffic situation can also be analyzed, for example an accident report.

In the method it can be provided that the representation S of the object O in the user's field of vision 200 takes place from a predefined distance to the vehicle 100.

For different objects O, individual predefined distances can be provided in the representation S.

Furthermore, in the display S, animations can be provided for an improved perception of the object O, as in the 1 until 3 is indicated by a symbolically indicated siren sign on an emergency vehicle.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the representation S of the object O is supported by acoustic cues and/or text cues.

The idea is that a dynamic representation S of an object O approaching one's own vehicle 100 but not yet visible is created, which is direction-related and distance-related, as is the case 1 until 3 show.

Although the object O in the examples shown in 1 until 3 is not yet visible, the representation S enables an intuitive, easily perceivable and understandable perception of the object O by the user in his field of vision 200.

Advantageously, the representation S does not require the user to look away if the representation S is made possible directly in the user's field of vision 200.

As soon as the object O actually comes into the user's field of vision 200, the object O itself can be made visible in the user's field of vision 200, for example using a head-up display 201, a hologram and/or a rear-view mirror. In addition, the object O can be marked, highlighted, labeled, etc.

The 1 until 3 show an example of such a safety-relevant object O in shape an emergency vehicle or an emergency vehicle approaching from behind. First, a position of the rescue vehicle can be recorded, for example using V2X communication, such as: B. V2V communication with other vehicles. Using the position of the rescue vehicle, the direction from which the ambulance approaches your own vehicle 100 and the distance to the vehicle 100 can be recorded.

When the distance to the vehicle 100 falls below a predefined distance, for example 200m, the display S can now begin and the user can be informed about the approaching emergency vehicle. In order to make it clear that the emergency vehicle is coming from behind, an iconographic representation of the ambulance (in the 1 until 3 ) can be animated into the head-up display 201 from bottom to top with a corresponding perspective change in size, for example becoming smaller. In addition, especially in cases of high criticality, for example in the case of a very close ambulance, as is the case 2 and 3 indicate, are shown at the corners of the field of vision via, for example, arrows in the direction R of the approaching emergency vehicle.

As soon as the emergency vehicle becomes visible in the rearview or exterior mirror, it can be marked there in a contact-like manner, for example by a frame.

For example, if the emergency vehicle drives past the ego vehicle on the left and appears in the user's field of vision 200, this can be visualized accordingly in the head-up display 201, for example by an arrow pointing in the direction of the emergency vehicle or from the direction R of the emergency vehicle.

As soon as the emergency vehicle is, even if only partially, in the field of vision 200 of the head-up display 201, it can be marked there in order to make it clear that this was the cause of the previous display S.

With the help of 1 until 3 It can be made clear that when the object O approaches the vehicle 100 from behind, the position of the representation S in the user's field of vision 200 is changed from bottom to top, and the size of the representation S becomes smaller the closer the object is O the vehicle 100 comes.

Notes that are spatially in front of the vehicle 100 can be displayed from top to bottom with a corresponding perspective change in size, for example increasing in size - analogous to the behavior of objects actually placed in the environment that the vehicle 100 is approaching. In this case, when the object O approaches the vehicle 100 from the front, the position of the representation S in the user's field of vision 200 can be changed from top to bottom, and the size of the representation S can be shown increasing the closer the object O is to the vehicle 100 is coming.

Likewise, some dangers can also come from the side, for example emergency vehicles at an intersection. Accordingly, these can be animated from left to right or from right to left in the field of view 200. In this case, when the object O approaches the vehicle 100 from left to right or from right to left, the position of the representation S in the user's field of vision 200 can be changed from left to right or from right to left, and the size of the representation S be kept constant.

Advantageously, the object itself can be displayed in the user's field of vision 200, preferably on the head-up display 201, when the object O appears in the user's field of vision 200. In addition, the object can be marked in the user's field of vision 200, preferably on the head-up display 201, when the object O appears in the user's field of vision 200. Markings can be made, for example, using a frame, color highlighting, sharpening the contour, etc.
