发明名称 METHOD AND USER INTERFACE SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE FOR PROVIDING AN ENERGY LEVEL GAUGE RELATIVE TO A VEHICLE RANGE METER
摘要 A method is provided for graphic visualization of a propulsion energy level gauge relative to a vehicle range meter. A user interface system determines a current range of the vehicle based on a current remaining propulsion energy level of an energy storage device of the vehicle, and determines at least one hypothetical range of the vehicle based on at least one hypothetical level of remaining propulsion energy of the energy storage device. The graphic visualization is provided on a display, where the propulsion energy level gauge conveys the current remaining propulsion energy level and the hypothetical level of remaining propulsion energy, and the vehicle range meter conveys the current vehicle range and the hypothetical vehicle range. In the graphic visualization, the current remaining propulsion energy level is graphically associated with the current vehicle range, and the hypothetical level of remaining propulsion energy is graphically associated with the hypothetical vehicle range.

主权项 1. A method performed by a user interface system of a vehicle for providing a graphic visualization of a propulsion energy level gauge relative to a vehicle range meter, said method comprising: determining a current vehicle range of said vehicle based on a current remaining propulsion energy level of an energy storage device of said vehicle; determining at least one hypothetical vehicle range of said vehicle based on at least one hypothetical level of remaining propulsion energy of said energy storage device, said hypothetical level of remaining propulsion energy indicating a fictive level should said energy storage device be refuelled and/or recharged at a predetermined instant in time, such as e.g. the current instant in time; and providing said graphic visualization on a display, said propulsion energy level gauge conveying said current remaining propulsion energy level and said hypothetical level of remaining propulsion energy, and said vehicle range meter conveying said current vehicle range and said hypothetical vehicle range, wherein, in said graphic visualization, said current remaining propulsion energy level is graphically associated with said current vehicle range, and said hypothetical level of remaining propulsion energy is graphically associated with said hypothetical vehicle range.
