Display device and method for displaying data and driver assistance system for a vehicle

摘要

A display device (120) for the display of data. The display device (120) includes a data display device (124) for displaying data. The display device (120) is, or can be, fitted separately onto a steering wheel (102) of a vehicle (100). The display device (120) further includes an acceleration detection device (122) for detecting acceleration relative to at least two axes. The display device (120) is designed to determine, using the detected acceleration, a steering wheel rotational angle of the steering wheel (102) and, using the steering wheel rotational angle, to modify the data display.

1. A display device (120) for displaying data, the display device (120) comprising:
a data display device (124) which displays data, the display device (120) either is or can be fitted separately onto a steering wheel (102) of a vehicle (100), the display device (120) further comprising an acceleration detection device (122) for detecting acceleration in at least two axes relative to a gravitational acceleration vector, a low-pass filter (132) suppresses high-frequency acceleration vibrations of the detected acceleration while letting through low-frequency acceleration vibrations of the detected acceleration, the display device (120) determining a steering wheel rotational angle (φ) of the steering wheel (102), using the detected acceleration, and the display device orienting a display (225) of the data relative to the steering wheel, based on the steering wheel rotational angle (φ).
