Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle operation display device for operating a power supply state of a vehicle.

  In recent years, by pushing a push switch in a vehicle, the user performs encryption authentication with the portable electronic key that the user has. If the portable electronic key is authorized, the current power supply status and shift position A push start system that switches the power supply state of a vehicle to an off state, an accessory state, an ignition state, or a start state by a combination of the state, the ON / OFF state of the brake, and the vehicle speed state is becoming widespread (for example, see Patent Document 1). . In such a push start system, there is an advantage that it is easy to prevent theft of the vehicle because there is no need to use parts that are easily destroyed such as a conventional engine key cylinder.

  However, as shown in FIG. 8, the conventional push start system has a power supply state when the push switch is pressed, depending on the combination of the current power supply state, the shift position state, the brake ON / OFF state, and the vehicle speed state. Since the transition destinations are different, it is difficult for the user to transition to a desired power supply state.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, when a push switch is pressed, a guidance display device that displays the power supply state scheduled to be transitioned next as guidance information is provided to inform the user of the transition destination when the push switch is pressed. Thus, there has been proposed a vehicle engine start system that easily shifts to a power supply state desired by a user (see Patent Document 2).
JP 2003-301664 A JP 2006-77592 A

  However, in the conventional configuration, only when the push switch is pressed, the power supply state that transitions at that time is displayed, so that it can be seen which power supply state is changed, but when the push switch is pressed, the transition is made The transition to other than the power supply state to be performed is not known, and there is a problem that it is not easy to make a transition to the desired power supply state after all.

  In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, a vehicle operation display device according to the present invention is arranged in a vehicle and is manually operated to turn off a power supply state of a predetermined in-vehicle device and a vehicle accessory. One operation unit, an Nth operation unit for switching the power supply state of the predetermined vehicle-mounted device and vehicle accessories, an Mth operation unit for starting the engine, and an operation unit corresponding to each of the operation units. And a display unit that distinguishes and displays a current power supply state, a transitionable power supply state, and a non-transitionable power supply state.

  The Nth operation unit and the Mth operation unit are expressed so that another new power supply state can be added between the first part to the Nth part and between the Nth operation part and the Mth operation part. It is to do.

  According to the vehicle operation display device of the present invention, the user can easily change to a desired power supply state by operating the operation unit desired to transition from among the operation units corresponding to the display unit displaying that transition is possible. The effect that it can transition is acquired.

(Embodiment 1)
Hereinafter, the first aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the first embodiment.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram of a vehicle operation display device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 shows an off button 1 for turning off a power supply state of a predetermined in-vehicle device and vehicle accessories, and power is supplied only to a specific in-vehicle device such as a radio among the predetermined in-vehicle devices and vehicle accessories. The accessory button 2 that can be used and the power supply are supplied to the other vehicle-mounted devices and vehicle accessories including the specific vehicle-mounted device and vehicle accessories so that they can be used and the engine starter can also be used. An ignition button 3 and a start button 4 for starting the engine using a starter are configured, and each button and a display unit corresponding to each button are overlapped.

  The buttons are arranged at the center of the handle 5 which is easy for the user to operate, and the configuration is a graphical user interface type touch panel 6.

  Each display unit is distinguished by color from the current power supply state, the next transitionable power supply state, and the non-transitionable power supply state. For example, the current power supply state is yellow, Assume that the power supply state that can be changed is green, and the power supply state that cannot be changed is red. It should be noted that each display unit may use any other appropriate color, such as a translucent display for the current power supply state and a non-transparent display for a power supply state that cannot be transitioned.

  The user sees that the off button 1 is yellow, sees that the current power supply state is in the off state, and sees that the accessory button 2 and the ignition button 3 are green. The state is the accessory state and the ignition state. The start button 4 is red, and it can be determined that the power supply state that cannot be changed is the start state. Next, the touchable accessory button 2 or the ignition button 3 is touched. It is possible to make a transition to a desired power supply state simply by doing so. Here, for example, when the user presses the accessory button 2, the current power supply state transitions to the accessory state, so the accessory button 2 is yellow indicating the current power supply state, and the off button 1 and the ignition button 3 transition next. The display of each display unit changes to green indicating a possible power supply state and red indicating the power supply state incapable of transition to the start button 4.

  In addition, the structure of the display section is provided with any three types of lamps or LEDs such as RGB on each display section, and the appropriate display at that time depends on the current power supply state, brake ON / OFF state, shift position state, and vehicle speed state. A lamp or LED is turned on to display each display unit.

  In addition, the current power supply state, the next power supply state that can be transitioned, and the power supply state that cannot be transitioned in each display unit are distinguished by letters in addition to colors. For example, the display unit 7 for the current power supply state Is displayed as “current”, “transition possible” is displayed on the display units 8 to 9 of the power supply state that can be transited next, and “transition is not possible” on the display unit 10 of the power supply state that is not capable of transition. . As the display method of the display unit, any other appropriate expression such as “transition possible” may be “operable” and “transition impossible” may be “unoperational” may be used.

  The user can easily see that the current power supply state is off, the next power supply state that can be transitioned is the accessory state or the ignition state, and the power supply state that cannot be transitioned is the start state. It is possible to make a transition to a desired power supply state by simply touching or pressing the accessory button 2 or the ignition button 3 that can be shifted to. Here, for example, when the user presses the ignition button 3, the current power supply state transitions to the ignition state, so the display unit 9 corresponding to the ignition button 3 displays “current” indicating the current power supply state in yellow. The display units 7 and 8 corresponding to the off button 1 and the accessory button 2 are displayed in green indicating “transition possible” indicating the power supply state that can be changed next, and the display unit 10 corresponding to the start button 4 is not changed. “Transition impossible” indicating a possible power supply state is displayed in red.

  That is, when the current power supply state is set to yellow, the next power supply state that can be transitioned is set to green, and the power supply state that cannot be changed to red is set to red, the display relationship between characters and colors indicating each state is a pair It shall correspond to one.

  In addition, the positional relationship between each operation unit and the display unit corresponding to each operation unit, the location of each operation unit and each display unit, the configuration of each operation unit and each display unit, the current power supply state and the next transition can be made Any appropriate combination of the power supply state and the non-transitionable power supply state can be distinguished.
