The invention relates to a method, to a device, and to a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for monitoring the movement of a transportation device. In one embodiment, first, information about the trajectory of the transportation device is received by a mobile device. The trajectory is then displayed on a display unit of the mobile device in the form of an augmented reality representation. In response thereto, an input of the user of the mobile device for influencing the trajectory is detected. Finally, information is transmitted to the transportation device on the basis of the input of the user.

Monitoring and planning a movement of a transportation device

Technologies and techniques for calculating an overlay of additional information for a display on a display unit. The overlay of additional information may support the driver in the longitudinal control of a vehicle. The overlaying of the additional information may be configured in the form of augmented reality such that it is calculated in a contact analogue manner in relation to one or more objects in the environment of the vehicle. When approaching a vehicle, a spatially extended animation graphic is calculated, wherein the animation graphic has a grid shape consisting of a plurality of grid elements, which extends from the observer vehicle up to the oncoming or preceding vehicle. The spatial extension is calculated such that the driver of the observer vehicle () has the impression of a kinematic or dynamic movement of the spatial extension, such as translation and rotation.

Method for calculating an AR-overlay of additional information for a display on a display unit, device for carrying out the method, as well as motor vehicle and computer program

A method for displaying a trajectory course in front of a transportation vehicle or object. The trajectory course is shown on a display unit and is represented in grid format. The points of the grid are represented by symbols, wherein only the border thereof or the completely filled-in symbols are represented based on the environmental features. The size and/or color of the symbols is adjustable.

Method for displaying the course of a trajectory in front of a transportation vehicle or an object by a display unit, and device for carrying out the method

A method for calculating an overlay of additional information for a display on a display unit, in particular, a head-up display of a transportation vehicle or data glasses. The overlay of additional information supports the driver in the longitudinal control of a transportation vehicle. The position of an upcoming waypoint is detected, which is specified by the navigation system. When the observer transportation vehicle approaches the waypoint, an animation graphic is calculated, wherein the animation graphic has a grid shape. The animation graphic is calculated so that distance markers are inserted from the observer transportation vehicle to the waypoint, which permit estimation of the distance to the waypoint.

Overlaying additional information on a display unit

A method for enhancing a field of view of a driver of a transportation vehicle with supplementary information, in which the supplementary information is depicted via a display unit display. Observation of the surroundings of the transportation vehicle takes place and, in response to the observation of the surroundings having detected a relevant object for which a potential significance arises, the relevant object is depicted on the display unit and the relation to the real object is emphasized in the field of view of the driver by the depicted object being visually highlighted in an environmentally synchronous state with respect to the real object. Also disclosed is an appropriately designed apparatus for use in an observer transportation vehicle, an appropriately designed apparatus for use in an object, and a transportation vehicle.

Method for enriching a field of view of a driver of a transportation vehicle with additional information, device for use in an observer transportation vehicle, device for use in an object, and transportation vehicle

A method for computing a display of additional information for display on a display unit. The insertion of additional information supports the driver in the longitudinal guidance of a transportation vehicle. The insertion of the additional information takes place as an augmented reality display, so that the additional information is computed contact-analogously to one or more objects in the environment of the transportation vehicle. The position of a transportation vehicle traveling in front is detected. When the observer transportation vehicle is approaching the transportation vehicle in front, an animated graphic is displayed section by section in a periodically recurring manner starting from the observer transportation vehicle.

Method for calculating a display of additional information for an advertisement, a display unit, apparatus for carrying out the method, and transportation vehicle and computer program

A method for calculating the motion data of the head of a driver of a transportation vehicle wherein the driver is wearing a pair of data glasses. The data glasses are equipped with at least one glasses measurement unit which detects the movements of the head of the driver. The transportation vehicle is equipped with a transportation vehicle measurement unit which detects at least the accelerations of the transportation vehicle. The measured accelerations of the transportation vehicle are transferred wirelessly to the data glasses. The calculation of the head pose is carried out in a special processor unit of the data glasses which includes an implementation of a Kalman filter in which the motion data of the glasses measurement unit, corrected by the motion data of the transportation vehicle measurement unit, are merged with the motion data of an additional glasses measurement unit.

Method for calculating the movement data of the head of a driver of a transportation vehicle, data glasses and transportation vehicle for use in the method, and computer program

A method, a device, and a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for controlling a display of an augmented reality display device for a transportation vehicle. The presence of a driving situation is detected, in which a warning is displayed to a driver of the transportation vehicle; the augmented reality display device generates a virtual object for display; the virtual object visualizes potential imminent events, actions or dangerous situations; the virtual object has moving graphical elements that simulate a movement of the virtual object; and the augmented reality display device outputs the generated virtual object for display.

Method, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium having instructions for controlling a display of an augmented reality display device for a transportation vehicle

A method for interaction between a first road user and a second road user wherein the first road user sends a driving maneuver request into the surroundings of the first road user; the second road user receives a request signal indicative of the driving maneuver request; the second road user accepts the driving maneuver request; acceptance of the driving maneuver request is signaled to the first road user; and driving maneuver recommendations determined based on the driving maneuver request are signaled to the first road user and/or to the second road user.

Method and device for road user interaction

A device displaying information about an imminent takeover of manual control of a vehicle. The device includes a radio receiving apparatus and a controller, and a projection unit, a vibration unit or a display. The radio receiving apparatus receives the information by radio. The projection unit projects the information by lighting of the projection unit, while the vibration unit is activated by the device in accordance with the receipt of the information. The information is displayed on the display together with additional information.

Device for displaying information about an imminent takeover of manual control of a vehicle

A method and a device for a vehicle configured for automatic longitudinal guidance. The method involves detecting a guide vehicle, the guide vehicle being a vehicle travelling directly in front of the vehicle; determining a current state from at least two states which describe a current reaction of the vehicle to the guide vehicle; and displaying the current state in animated form on a display.

Method and device for a vehicle configured for automatic longitudinal guidance
