Patent ID: 8243138

Claim:
A display system for shooting and displaying an image around a vehicle comprising: a shooting element mounted on the vehicle; and a controller mounted on the vehicle and including a camera port, a position sensor port, a processor and a memory, wherein the shooting element includes a bracket fixed to the vehicle, a camera for shooting the image around the vehicle and accommodated in the bracket, a protrusion fixed to the camera, and a contact position sensor fixed to the bracket and detecting a contact position of the protrusion, wherein the camera includes an output terminal for outputting a shooting image around the vehicle, which is coupled with the camera port via a cable, wherein the contact position sensor includes an output terminal for outputting a detection result signal, which is coupled with the position sensor port via another cable, wherein the memory stores retrieved region information, which is defined by a display coordinate system, and provides information of a retrieved region, which is retrieved from the shooting image, the display coordinate system being fixed to the image, wherein the processor retrieves the retrieved region defined by the display coordinate system from the shooting image according to the retrieved region information, the shooting image being obtained from the camera port, and further, the processor controls the display device to display the retrieved region, and wherein, when the contact position of the protrusion obtained via the position sensor port is changed, the processor modifies the retrieved region information based on the contact position before changing and the contact position after changing in such a manner that a region defined by a local coordinate system corresponding to the retrieved region of the shooting image obtained via the camera port after changing is equal to the region defined by the local coordinate system before changing, the local coordinate system being fixed to the vehicle.
