Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to vehicle display enhancement. For example, a vehicle may receive data associated with a user of a vehicle, wherein the data is associated with eyewear worn by the user or information associated with a user profile. The device may identify a first object in a field of vision of the user while the user is situated in the vehicle. The device may apply first enhancement to the first object based on the data. The device may display the first enhancement on a display device of the vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, data associated with a user of a vehicle, wherein the data is associated with eyewear worn by the user or information associated with a user profile; identifying a first object in a field of vision of the user while the user is situated in the vehicle; applying first enhancement to the first object based on the data; and displaying the first enhancement on a display device of the vehicle.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the data is received from a first sensor of the vehicle.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the first sensor is configured to capture the data within an interior of the vehicle.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first object is identified using a second sensor of the vehicle, wherein the second sensor is associated with capturing data from an exterior of the vehicle.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising calibrating the display device based on the received data and the first object.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first enhancement include color compensation, visual indicators, audible indicators, or physical indicators.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein applying the first enhancement comprises adjusting a color wavelength, a color saturation, or a color luminosity.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user profile is shared between vehicles.

9 . A device comprising:
a processor; and a memory for storing instructions, the processor is configured to execute the instructions to: receive data associated with a user of a vehicle, wherein the data is associated with eyewear worn by the user or information associated with a user profile; identify a first object in a field of vision of the user while the user is situated in the vehicle; apply first enhancement to the first object based on the data; and display the first enhancement on a display device of the vehicle.

10 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the data is received from a first sensor of the vehicle.

11 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the first sensor is configured to capture the data within an interior of the vehicle.

12 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the first object is identified using a second sensor of the vehicle, wherein the second sensor is associated with capturing data from an exterior of the vehicle.

13 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to calibrate the display device based on the received data and the first object.

14 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the first enhancement include color compensation, visual indicators, audible indicators, or physical indicators.

15 . The device of claim 9 , wherein applying the first enhancement further comprises the processor being configured to adjust a color wavelength, a color saturation, or a color luminosity.

16 . A system comprising:
a sensor assembly having a first sensor for driver identification and a second sensor for object identification, the sensor assembly being configured to:
receive data associated with a user of a vehicle, wherein the data is associated with eyewear worn by the user or information associated with a user profile; and
identify a first object in a field of vision of the user while the user is situated in the vehicle;
a controller assembly having a processor and memory, the processor being configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
apply first enhancement to the first object based on the data; and
display the first enhancement on a display device of the vehicle.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the data is received from a first sensor of the vehicle.

18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the first sensor is configured to capture the data within an interior of the vehicle.

19 . The system of claim 16 , further comprising the instructions to calibrate the display device based on the data received from the first sensor and the one or more objects.

20 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the first enhancement include color compensation, visual indicators, audible indicators, or physical indicators.
