This display unit generally displays vehicle parameters such as speed, distance, trip distance, RPM, fuel level, indicator lights, low fuel warning, etc. The system as per invention is for a motorcycle with a chassis which carries a straddle-type seat which is sufficiently narrow to be straddler by the rider (14). Front (12) and rear (13) wheels are mounted to the chassis and left and right handle bars (15) are connected to the front wheel for steering the front wheel (12).

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION:

There are variety of display systems available in market and do have inclusion of GPS display system, generally do not deteriorate the design effect of the motorcycle but demands a separate mounting space, mounting a member presenting a problem of space constraint and as an increased component count, and accordingly an increased number of installation processes and last but not least the additional work design of the mounting member and mounting position for providing easy visibility and easy access to the rider on a narrow vehicle such as motorcycle. Hence suffering are not desirable to the rider.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION:

The primary goal is to offer a unified instrument display unit for motorcycles, equipped with an information and communication system designed for two-wheelers. (Figure 2)

The invention attempts to combine the existing displays known in prior art with additional connectivity interfaces to allow the functions and services to enhance the overall riding experience of the rider of the motorcycle.

The objective is to have a display unit with connectivity via Wifi or Bluetooth to offer smartphone functionality such as GPS navigation map, media player and telephony. Figure 4 & 5

The other objective is to have a display unit with a built-in connectivity allowing the use of smartphone integration solution that not only mirrors smartphone content onto the instrument but makes the content more selective but intelligent, easy and safer to use for the motorcycle rider.

The other objective of the invention is to improve the arrangement of the display on the motorcycle (Figure 1). The display unit is so arranged that rider (14) can have everything necessary at a glance (Figure 2) as per invention and more specifically it offers smartphone integration solution which displays smartphone content such as GPS navigation map content selectively on the display unit to allow the specific usage of GPS application alongwith any other numerous motorcycle applications on the instrument.

DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION :

The present invention relates to a two-wheeled motorcycle and the instrumental display unit (3) mounted on it (ref. Figure 1). More particularly but not exclusively the present subject matter relates to an instrument display unit for said two wheeled motorcycle. The instrument display unit comprises a digital screen (3) which has plurality of display units with two mode analog (Figure 3) and digital (figure 4) mode.

The figures 8 - annexed herein illustrate the flow charts of initiating the smart instrument display dashboard and Wifi mode and using the display unit during the riding of the motorcycle.

As per invention, the various displays on the instrument have not only functional aspects of displaying the information to the rider but also need to have features which appeal to customers' eyes and give great viewing experience (ref. Figure 2 & 3). With the development of new technology, it has become essential to integrate one technology with another. As the new technologies are evolving and developing, with time, the state of art motorcycles needs to include various many new device features in display unit in order to provide several information and guide maps in one display and the information to be displayed can be chosen by the user by allowing, adding or removing the type of information for display on the screen. The attempt of this invention to create a new instrument display unit which give information beyond the conventional information provided in conventional unit. The current technology also demands that rider shall have a functional GPS navigation map for convenient and safe riding and to travel through the right route/trip from start point until destination. In order to manage to ride through the best route, in terms of distance and/or traffic, the motorcycle needs to be associated with a GPS navigation system and the invention focuses on this aspect which is the need of the motorcycle riders currently.

The instrument display unit of the motorcycle is a display system as detailed to indicate the various functionalities of the motorcycle to a rider when it is riding (ref. Figure 3). Typically, it is arranged as a panel that is positioned in front of rider’s point of vision (Figure 2). This display unit (3) comprises icons, digital gauges, analogue gauges or combination therefore. Also, such instrument display unit (3) can be programmed to entail customizable themes, colors and images.
The figures 1 annexed hereto schematically show a block diagram of the hardware configuration of the display system which may have many icons and many meters, corresponding to oil pressure icons, flow fuel icon, signal icons to name a few and meters such as speedometer, tacheometer, etc. ref. number - 16 to 28 in ref. Figure 3 & 4.

This display unit as per invention is so provided which is capable of being mountable on handle bar holder, without deteriorating the design of the motorcycle (ref. Figure 1 & 2 ).

The display unit is connected to the smartphone as per the invention (39) (ref. Figure 8).

Also, when the motorcycle is in riding condition, the rider may get an incoming call, messages, social network notification which may tempt the rider to pickup smartphone to receive the call, etc and ultimately lead to an accident. It becomes easier if the notifications like the incoming call, messages and more importantly the GPS map captured by smartphone get displayed selectively on the instrument unit to the rider. Hence the invention has attempted to integrating a smartphone device with a smart instrument display dashboard . The smart device may be any smart device such as smart phone which is generally in the pocket and/or handbag of the rider. The smartphone is most preferred for this design of the display unit. Hence as per the present subject matter the rider can access the GPS map captured in the smart device (smartphone) without any requirement of handling the smart device which eliminates the chances of distraction during motorcycle riding condition nor does the smartphone needs to be attached or mounted on the motorcycle, which is risky or damaging.

The display unit along with other indicators will also have a connectivity indicators (31) which display smartphone connectivity status, that will identifies a successful connection established with a smart device such a smartphone having inbuilt wireless (e.g. Wifi, Bluetooth) connectivity.

Since invention is for a display unit system adapted for use on motorcycle to specifically incorporate an intelligent navigation system into the instrument display dashboard thereby permitting the rider to be provided with the only necessary information to reach a destination, which nevertheless be simple but provide an improved indicator/information and/or alert indicator/information to motorcycle rider during the navigation. The rider generally prefers maps and general data as guidance and this can be provided on the instrument display unit for easy and direct visibility, which external information is typically captured by known available techniques by the smartphone. The display unit is adapted for receiving inputted location (28) data from the smartphone via a specific application which is preloaded in the smartphone but which requires no physical mechanical connections mutually i.e., display unit and smartphone are functionally cooperative without physical mechanical connection. The display unit with its associated display is positioned forwardly on the handlebar assembly (9) of the motorcycle but the smartphone is remote and not attached to the motorcycle and not attached to the display unit mechanically.

Mobile phone applications (Figure 6) are developed to work with the instrument display to project the map details along with navigation information in a completely custom layout. The invention varies from the regular screen shot, in regular screen casting the complete mobile screen will be casted to the secondary display. In this invention, multiple sections of selective information from the mobile application are stitched together to create a unique navigation experience on the display unit (ref. Figure 6).

Hence the instrument display unit as per invention has a navigation display on a motorcycle operable in a comfortable position during drive but without actually mounting any navigation device or smartphone on the motorcycle physically and conveying only the necessary selective information to the rider thereby enhancing riding experience.

The invention accordingly has addressed the suffering of prior art which are:
A. Providing display unit with all the motorcycle meter display avoiding much overlap, to many components and placement of those components
B. Placement of the GPS unit and the supporting assembly which can inbuilt or retrofitting assembly making it a bulky system.
C. Mounting position of GPS display unit and avoiding additional sensors in helmet as well as on bike.
D. Project only the particular screen segment without using wifi direct.
E. Could not construct the projection view with the information from multiple sections in the mobile app screen.
F. Using internet from SIM card even when connected to cluster which is in WIFI hotspot mode.

All these suffer in terms of complexity of electronic and/or digital functioning alongwith structural difficulty and associated complexity of systems used in prior art.

Hence the invention has proposed :
a. Casting navigation on the display unit via dedicated “customized” smartphone application. (Figure 7)
b. Map tiles (26) with current location (28), navigation information are captured and started over Wifi so that it can be displayed on the instrument using the customized application which shall be loaded on smartphone and cooperatively operate with the display unit. (Figure 4 & 3)

However beyond the above aspects, the arrangement is novel for many reasons which are:-

a. Smartphone connects to an instrumental display unit which is in hotspot mode over Wifi.
b. Smartphone consumes data from local network provider and processes the current location and then selectively projects the map tiles on the unit.

This has been achieved by

a. consuming custom application programming interface software (apis) on the phone/application side to ensure the availability of cellular internet and sharing data across Wifi,
b. but eliminating using traditional methods such as Wifi direct or screen casting, for screen projection and instead capturing screenshots of specific predetermined sections of the screen at predetermined frequency and more preferably at 20 frames per second and transmitting then to instrument for display, which actually creates a continuous video-like experience on the unit, giving the perception of smooth motion.

The human eye or its brain interface, can process only 10-12 separate images per second, perceiving them individually. The visual cortex holds onto one image for 1/15th of a second, so if another image is received during that period, an illusion of continuity of still images gives the impression of motion. When such images are flashed on a screen at 1/24, 1/25, 1/30 of a second and then immediately replaced by next one, persistence of vision blends the frames together producing the illusion of a moving image. This has been advantageously exploited in ‘Down Conversion’ but without losing much information in the down conversion. Hence 20 frames has been preferred for this invention.

The invention also teaches a method and system which can generate new modified video content on the display unit from an original video available on a smartphone. The original video typically refers to navigation maps (28) and other known applications similarly to navigate. The method and system includes capturing screenshot/video frame image files and text files from the video, and transferring the same onto a plurality of processors and processing the text files and screenshot image files in parallel. The captured text files associated with the video to screenshot/video frame/image files can be further modified. Further the so modified screenshot/video frame/image files and so modified text files can be cross-referenced mutually and also cross-referenced with the original video. Hence the present invention relates to a method and a system for generating various and useful data for a motorcycle rider from a standard GPS navigation map available on a connected known smartphone and make it available on the motorcycle display unit. (ref figure 6)

Hence the method to generate useful video data for a motorcycle rider from a conventional video of a GPS navigation system generally made available on smartphone comprises : (ref. figure 6)
- Generating screenshot image files and text files from the video.
- Transferring the screenshot/video frame/image files and text files across a plurality of processors and processing the text files and image files in parallel.
- Converting the text files associated with the video to text data.
- Converting the screenshot image files associated with the video to video data.
- Cross referencing the text data and screenshot/video frame/video data for the display.

Figure 6 :
In one embodiment, the screenshots can be generated by first segmenting images of the video into screenshots and then converting again the segmented /screenshot/video frame images to a modified video. The text captured from the video can be regenerated by segmenting the text associated with the navigation system also in parallel corresponding to screenshot/video frame/ image segmentation. The captured text can be a context description of the modified video such as ETA (27), distance to destination, etc. Hence a more useful video along with relevant text is presented to the motorcycle alongwith only essential text contents which is desirable with the video presented in the display unit of the motorcycle.

The modern handheld mobile device, such as smartphone or the like, exhibit and possess advanced technologies and hence are capable of providing the invention with an array of additional capabilities. Also these smartphones are equipped with significant processing power, sophisticated multitasking operating systems and high-bandwidth internet connection capabilities. Also this device does essentially have a common and standardized feature which is location-determining feature, GPS feature and high-resolution video presentation. These mobile phones are also adapted for usage with a plurality of applications (i.e., software). Hence the customized “application” as per invention can be operable on and with the smartphone of the motorcycle rider, which customized application is essentially one of the novel elements along with the novel “processor” referred in the specification.

The invention hence relates to a technique for converting a GPS conventional video in the smartphone into video frames/screenshots selectively and then converting the selected screenshot/video frame into a modified video ready for presentation to the motorcycle rider on the display unit of the motorcycle figure 6 . By definition, the frame-rate of a video-sequence is constituted by the temporal frequency of said sequence i.e., by the number of digital images, organised in frames per second that form the sequence itself. Hence in this invention, the attempt is to have a method and system which receives input of a video sequence with variable frame rate and text contents from a conventional navigation system operable on smartphones and the destination video-system at the display unit is configured for receiving a video-sequence at constant and pre-set frame rate. Hence in order to enable transmission of video sequence from the source video system on smartphone to the destination display unit video system, this is provided by a frame-rate converter apparatus, which receives at input the video sequence with variable frame rate from smartphone and generates at output the conversion into a video sequence with constant and a present frame rate. The invention does not utilise conventional converter of video frames but instead it captures screenshots of video at designated intervals.

The instrument unit video system is created as a viewing device i.e., a display with a pre-set refresh frequency capable of receiving and displaying a pre-set number of images per second corresponding to the present constant frame rate, as per the converter design.

Further the converter also modifies, crops, edits the captured video frames screenshots prior to transmission for displaying the video at constant frame rate on the instrument unit figure 6.

Hence the present invention provides a solution capable of converting progressively and adaptively the frame-rate from variable to constant, but preventing loss of images. According to an embodiment of the present invention, said purpose is achieved with a method for conversion of an input video sequence captured in smartphone which comprises of digital images organised in frames and operating at a variable frame rate into an output video sequence operating at a pre-set constant frame rate and displaying the same on the cluster. The embodiment also relating to corresponding conversion apparatus as well as the corresponding software product partly directly loadable onto smartphone, such as a customized ‘app’ and partly as computer program product i.e., a processor loadable on the cluster and including also software code portions for performing a method and conversion of video and text according to the embodiment of the invention.

As compared to prior art, there is no direct “casting” of images from phone to cluster, and there is no direct “mirroring” of images form phone to cluster, but instead trims the original content by selecting, discarding, editing the images, and interpolating them adaptively for desirable visuals presented on the cluster to the motorcycle rider by supplying a prerequisite number of images “just” necessary for maintaining the output frame-rate constant and replicating the content which is useful.

As the novel aspect of the invention, there is no attempt to converting the “frame rate” of a video sequence in a video processor, by dividing the input vide sequence into successive group of consecutive frames, as is known in converted frame rate convertor, instead the method is to capture plurality of screenshots which is equivalent to video frames and compiling a video with the desired number of captured screenshots. These video frame/screenshots are assembled intelligently to form an output video sequence having an output frame rate different from the input frame rate and which will be displayed on the instrument display cluster.

Also advantageously there is a synchronisation cycle in the spacing between an input frame position of input video of smartphone and the output frame position of output video on the cluster to avoid any distortion or delay in the display made available to the motorcycle rider.

Further with the combination of processor on the cluster and customized app loaded on smartphone, there is flexibility to displaying and operating on cluster selectively some of other features available on the smartphone also on the cluster and which is advantageously achieved in terms of selective made available features on the cluster and the arrangement of these features on the display screen.

Further with the processor on the cluster and customised app on phone there is flexibility to display and operate selectively some new and additional features on cluster which features are also modified from the original features as available on the smartphone for the convenience of the motorcycle rider.

Hence the cluster performs the role of smartphone to the rider with all necessary information, displays and entertainment to the rider but eliminating all the disadvantages and dangerous distractions suffered if the rider were to operate the smartphone during the ride.

It is necessary to specify herein, that this invention is novel for specifically capturing only screenshots of map tiles (26) and sharing the captured map tiles over a Wifi connection, which then provides a seamless display which may not be possible with conventional screen casting. Hence this selective transmission is overcoming the suffering of screen casting and hence novel in its disclosure.

Further due to above approach, there is substantial decrease in number of hardware components on the chip set thereby enabling usage of light weight microcontrollers for processing and controlling the cluster, leading to another but desired additional cost optimization.

The invention has RTP i.e., Real Time Transport Protocol, thereby ensuring usage of a standard network which is designed for transmitting audio or video data that is optimized for consistent delivery of live data, which is to deliver streaming audio and video content for navigation. Further the protocol applied is RTP protocol.

The protocol having RTP performance is a reliable and connectionless best-effort transporter with high fault tolerance. This standard protocol gives extensibility allowing backward computability and plug-and-play connectivity, configurability, modularity and scalability, etc.

H264 is a video compression standard and format that uses advanced compression techniques to deliver high-quality video at low bit rates.

H264 - baseline profile is the simplest profile, and must be supported by all decoders.
Hence using RTP protocol in association H264 baseline profile and UDP packets for metadata, the video projection is over Wifi for full map view, achieve navigation and traffic information (28.1) to the custom designed cluster which process includes frame capture of full map navigation view and video H264 encoding.

The invention also incorporates meta data transfer with joy stick control (9) and meta data transfer from cluster to application and from application to cluster. With this arrangement, it is possible to display in the cluster using video projection and through meta data, the full map navigation with TBT (Turn by Turn) (27 & 26) guidance along with street name (29), ETA(30), distance to destination(30), and distance to next maneuver (27.1), etc. further it is also possible to display the traffic information (28.1) on the route in the active navigation map view and which can be projected to the display unit using video projection.

In one aspect the invention relates to a navigational system for a motorcycle comprising of a cluster associated with a customized application loaded on a smartphone along with a navigation display section for displaying navigation information. There is a control section for controlling the navigation display section. The receiving section will receive signals from the application loaded on the smartphone. Further the display section shall display many parameters of the motorcycle along with the essential navigation display. This arrangement as per the invention is novel for the reason that cluster is remote from the smartphone. There is no mechanical connection between the cluster and smartphone. Further the display is restricted from the available display in the smartphone and displaying only the essential selectively captured screenshots of casting information but is of such nature that these selectively captured screenshots shall be modified to create a continuous video like experience to rider.

In another aspect the above display system can be mounted on a motorcycle.
