GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI) SHADING BASED ON CONTEXT

摘要

Systems, methods, and instrument cluster display devices are provided herein to provide a graphical user interface (GUI) shading element. The GUI shading element replicates a shadow produced by a mechanical element (for example, a pointer on a gauge) in a mechanical display structure. The aspects disclosed herein detect a location of the Sun independent of a light sensor.

主权项

1. A system for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) shading element on a digital display with a GUI element, comprising:
an orientation receiver to receive information about an orientation associated with a viewer of the display; a solar detector, based on the received orientation and a present time, to detect a location of a Sun; and a re-renderer to render the GUI shading element based on the GUI element, wherein the GUI shading element is rendered to replicate a mechanical version of the GUI element would produce.
