  • the present invention relates to the field of augmented reality driving assistance devices of a vehicle on a lane and also relates to an associated head-up display device, an associated vehicle and an augmented reality driving assistance method.
  • Driving assistance devices for vehicles comprising a central display disposed at the dashboard of the vehicle and a camera disposed at the rear of the vehicle, are already known.
  • the central display allows displaying the image filmed by the camera when the driver reverses to give him an indication of the situation at the rear of the vehicle and without the need for him to turn his head towards the rear of the vehicle. It is possible to display, in addition to the image filmed by the camera, lines indicating to the driver the trajectory that the vehicle will take from data collected by the steering angle sensor steering wheel.
  • This function helps the driver when reversing and, especially, facilitates the parking of the vehicle.
  • an assistance device provides no indication to the driver of the situation at the front of the vehicle, the driver's attention is diverted to the central display and the result is that the driver is less attentive to the situation at the front of the vehicle.
  • U.S. Pat. 2014/0267398 describes an augmented reality system, device and method for safely guiding a vehicle driver with respect to pedestrians.
  • a vehicle navigator can detect a turn depending on the proximity of a vehicle approaching it.

Description

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR AUGMENTED REALITY DRIVING ASSISTANCE
The present invention relates to the field of augmented reality driving assistance devices of a vehicle on a lane and also relates to an associated head-up display device, an associated vehicle and an augmented reality driving assistance method. Driving assistance devices for vehicles, comprising a central display disposed at the dashboard of the vehicle and a camera disposed at the rear of the vehicle, are already known. The central display allows displaying the image filmed by the camera when the driver reverses to give him an indication of the situation at the rear of the vehicle and without the need for him to turn his head towards the rear of the vehicle. It is possible to display, in addition to the image filmed by the camera, lines indicating to the driver the trajectory that the vehicle will take from data collected by the steering angle sensor steering wheel. This function helps the driver when reversing and, especially, facilitates the parking of the vehicle. However, such an assistance device provides no indication to the driver of the situation at the front of the vehicle, the driver's attention is diverted to the central display and the result is that the driver is less attentive to the situation at the front of the vehicle.
U.S. Pat. 2014/0267398 describes an augmented reality system, device and method for safely guiding a vehicle driver with respect to pedestrians. A vehicle navigator can detect a turn depending on the proximity of a vehicle approaching it. A target sensor can detect a pedestrian entering the turn and a pedestrian crossing. An indication to warn the driver of the proximity of a pedestrian can be displayed in a head-up display device in the background. However, this assistance device does not provide the driver with other information useful to the driver to assist him in his driving. The object of the present invention is to propose an improved solution making it possible to overcome at least the main limitations of the state of the art indicated above.
The present invention relates to an augmented reality driving assistance device of a vehicle on a lane comprising: a head-up display device suitable and intended to form at least one virtual image in a field of vision of a driver, at least one sensor for measuring the speed of the vehicle and/or a sensor for measuring the steering angle of the steering wheel of the vehicle, a communication module in communication with the head-up display device through first transmission means and with said measuring sensors through second transmission means, the assistance device is characterized in that it comprises: a computer suitable and intended for: acquiring in real time the vehicle speed and/or the steering angle of the steering wheel by means of the communication module, calculating an approximation of the vehicle's path according to the speed of the vehicle and/or the steering angle of the steering wheel, determining from the approximation of the vehicle's path a display signal representative of the vehicle's path, transmitting the display signal to the head-up display device to display a virtual image representative of the path of the vehicle superimposed on at least a portion of the lane in the driver's field of vision.
In this specification, the term "suitable and intended" means "configured", for example, a "computer suitable and intended" to perform certain functions, will be configured to perform those functions, for example on account of its hardware, firmware, software, etc.

The term "head-up display device 3" means a device comprising display means comprising a combiner or associated with the windshield 7 of the vehicle 1 to create a virtual image 5, 6 in the field of vision of the driver 4 (Figure 1 ). Generally, the head-up display device 3 may be, at least partially, integrated into the vehicle dashboard 1 .
The term "communication module" means any means of data transmission, such as a serial bus system, integrated into the vehicle 1 . According to the invention, the assistance device is characterized in that it comprises: a computer suitable and intended for: acquiring in real time the speed of the vehicle 1 and/or the steering angle of the steering wheel 9 from the communication module, calculating an approximation of the vehicle's path 1 according to the speed of the vehicle 1 and/or the steering angle of the steering wheel 9, determining from the approximation of the vehicle's path 1 a display signal representative of the vehicle's path 1 , transmitting the display signal to the head-up display device 3 to display a virtual image representative of the vehicle's path 5 superimposed on at least a portion of the lane 2 in the field of vision of the driver 4 (Figures 2, 3A, 3B, 4B).
Advantageously, such an assistance device makes it possible to improve the safety of the driving conditions of a driver 4 in a vehicle 1 . Indeed, thanks to the invention, the driver 4 has at his disposal, directly in his field of vision, information in real time on the path that the vehicle 1 will follow. Since the virtual image representative of the vehicle's path displayed in the head-up display device is advantageously superimposed on the real image of the lane 2 and the environment (Figure 4A), the driver 4 is able to analyze, anticipate and make decisions faster which improves security. For example, the assistance device according to the invention makes it possible to display a curved line or a surface representative of the shape of the turn, enabling the driver 4 to anticipate the turn and to adapt his driving (Figures 3A, 3B and 4B).
Preferably, the communication module may be a serial bus system, preferably a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus according to ISO 1 1898 standard.

Advantageously, the virtual image displayed is both representative of the vehicle's path 5, and a warning 6 to warn the driver 4 of current climactic conditions. The driver 4 then has at his disposal, in addition to the information on the path, information on the climactic conditions directly in his field of vision. For example, the warning 6 may be a graphic representation or a metaphor informing the driver 4 that it is raining, for example in the form of a message. Advantageously, the driver 4 can adapt his path or his speed according to this information.

Advantageously, the virtual image displayed is both representative of the vehicle's path 5, and a warning 6 making it possible to warn the driver 4 of the level of dangerousness of his driving based on his speed and the climactic conditions. The driver 4 then has at his disposal directly in his field of vision, in addition to the information on the path, information on the level of dangerousness of his driving. For example, the warning 6 may be a graphic representation or a metaphor informing the driver 4 that it is raining and that his speed is too high, for example in the form of a message. Advantageously, the driver 4 can adapt his path or his speed based on this information.
