Abstract:
An apparatus includes an information system with at least one pattern generator having a plurality of light nodes, each light node including at least one light emitting element, such as an LED. The at least one pattern generator is positioned with regard to a user of the apparatus such that it is located in the peripheral view of the user. A controller is operatively coupled to the pattern generator and configured to selectively initiate the generation of a visual light pattern on the pattern generator, the visual light pattern being indicative of information which is to be provided to the user of the apparatus.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of providing information to a user of an apparatus, the method comprising:\n determining a visual light pattern associated with information to be provided to the user, the visual light pattern being determined in dependence on data related to the apparatus or the user; detecting a first gaze direction of the user; determining a first zone of a plurality of zones of a pattern generator having a plurality of light nodes to output the visual light pattern, the first zone being in a peripheral vision of the user based on the first gaze direction; outputting the visual light pattern on the first zone of the pattern generator so that the visual light pattern is visualized by the user in the peripheral vision of the user; detecting that the first gaze direction of the user has changed to a second gaze direction; determining a second zone of a plurality of zones of a pattern generator to output the visual light pattern, the second zone being different than the first zone and in an updated peripheral vision of the user based on the second gaze direction; and outputting the visual light pattern on the second zone of the pattern generator so that the visual light pattern is visualized by the user in the updated peripheral vision of the user.
