A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11919513B2) discloses a control system designed to provide assistance to a vehicle occupant. The system includes one or more controllers that receive vehicle parameters and image data from an external imaging device. By determining a vehicle trajectory based on the parameters, the system generates a composite image sequence with trajectory indicators that visually represent the predicted path of the vehicle. These indicators move within the sequence to simulate the vehicle's movement over a surface, enhancing the occupant's perception of the vehicle's motion.

The control system, as described in the patent claims, utilizes electronic processors and memory devices to execute instructions for generating the composite image sequence. The trajectory indicators within the sequence move proportionally to the distance traveled by the vehicle between image captures, creating a realistic visual representation of the vehicle's path. Additionally, the system can include multiple indicator sections that move independently within the sequence, further enhancing the visual experience for the occupant. The patent also covers a method for implementing this system, as well as a computer-readable medium storing instructions for executing the method, and processors specifically configured to perform the method. Overall, the patented technology aims to improve the occupant's experience by providing a more accurate and engaging visual representation of the vehicle's movement.
