  The present invention relates to a display method of a map information display method for a motorcycle. In particular, the present invention relates to a map information display method suitably used for supporting the traveling of a motorcycle. The present invention also relates to a traveling information display method for a motorcycle.

  In order to support the traveling of a motorcycle, there has been proposed a motorcycle information providing apparatus that gives a rider a necessary warning according to road conditions and the traveling state of the vehicle.

The motorcycle disclosed in Patent Document 1 is equipped with a display device and a navigation device, so that the vehicle data and map data can be displayed on the display device.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-140800

  Today, navigation devices that are exclusively used for four-wheeled passenger cars have been developed and developed, and those that take into account the characteristics of motorcycles are not considered. Furthermore, in accordance with today's technical common sense, a navigation device for a four-wheeled passenger car is simply being displayed on a motorcycle display, which is considered to be sufficient in terms of technology.

  However, it is difficult for a traveling rider to instantaneously determine and understand the map information obtained by the navigation device as compared to a driver who is sitting on the seat of a four-wheeled passenger car and driving with a relatively stable line of sight. That is, the rider who is traveling concentrates his / her vision more forward in the direction of travel, and even if a display device is provided around the steering wheel in front of the rider's eyes, the complex map information on the display device can be viewed relatively carefully. It is difficult to judge.

  In current navigation devices for four-wheeled passenger cars, the map information screen is becoming more and more complex year by year. Examples include road name display, street address display, gas station / convenience store display, main building and landmark display, and three-dimensional display of buildings and roads. Some passenger drivers tend to find it useful and easy to understand. However, when it is used for motorcycles, it is not always easy for a rider to understand.

In addition, as motorcycle driving support technology develops, it is more likely that various warning displays will be displayed on or around the map screen, so map information will be increasingly grasped by riders who are driving. It becomes difficult to do.
The present invention has been made in view of such various points, and a main object of the present invention is to provide a map information display method more suitable for a rider of a motorcycle. Another object of the present invention is to provide a traveling information display method for a motorcycle for appropriately supporting traveling of the motorcycle.

  The map information display method for a motorcycle of the present invention is a method of displaying map information on the image display device in a motorcycle having an image display device, and the map information is linear when the motorcycle is running. It is displayed on the said image display apparatus by the simplified navigation display which consists only of road information.

  The linear road information preferably includes lane width information.

  It is preferable that the linear road information is represented by an area where the road extends and an azimuth line for visualizing a sense of distance of the road.

  In a preferred embodiment, the linear road information is displayed on the screen display device in a proportional relationship different from an actual road proportional relationship.

  In a preferred embodiment, the linear road information includes vehicle position information.

  The vehicle position information may not be displayed on the image display device but may be indicated by a front position of the image display device.

  In a preferred embodiment, the map information screen is automatically switched between when the motorcycle is running and when it is stopped.

  When the motorcycle is stopped, map information other than the linear road information and the vehicle position information may be displayed in the map information.

  In a preferred embodiment, the other map information is at least one selected from the group consisting of a store name, a street name, a station name, a track name, a road name, and a direction name.

  It is preferable that at least a speed meter is displayed on the image display device together with the map information when the motorcycle is running.

  The motorcycle travel information display method of the present invention is a method of displaying travel information on the image display device in a motorcycle having an image display device. When the motorcycle is traveling, the image display device includes a plurality of travel information display methods. At the same time, the travel information includes at least a vehicle speed, and the vehicle speed meter indicating the vehicle speed is not covered with a mark for displaying other travel information when the motorcycle is traveling. It is exposed and displayed.

  In a preferred embodiment, the mark for displaying the other travel information is at least one selected from the group consisting of a water temperature meter, a fuel meter, a travel distance meter, and a tachometer.

  In a preferred embodiment, a wallpaper of an image designated by a user is arranged on the background of the vehicle speed meter.

  In a preferred embodiment, an image wallpaper whose color changes depending on a day of the week or a time zone is arranged on the background of the vehicle speed meter.

  It is preferable that vehicle inspection items are displayed on the image display device when the motorcycle is started.

  The motorcycle may be started after a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when the previous inspection item was displayed or after starting a certain distance.

  In a preferred embodiment, when the motorcycle is started, an interval from the previous ride is calculated, and a vehicle inspection item is not displayed on the image display device according to the length of the interval. When displaying the number of inspection items of 1, and determining whether to display any of the second number of inspection items greater than the first number of inspection items.

  The motorcycle of the present invention is a motorcycle having an image display device, and the motorcycle includes a control device that controls an image of the image display device, and the control device maps to the image display device. The map information has a function of displaying information, and when the motorcycle is running, the map information is displayed on the image display device by a simplified navigation display including only linear road information and own vehicle position information. It is a motorcycle that is displayed.

  According to the map information display method for a motorcycle of the present invention, the map information is displayed with a simplified navigation display including only linear road information when the motorcycle is running. An appropriate map information display method can be provided. Furthermore, according to the traveling information display method for a motorcycle of the present invention, when the motorcycle is traveling, the vehicle speed meter indicating the vehicle speed is exposed and displayed without being covered by a mark for displaying other traveling information. The vehicle speed can always be confirmed during traveling, and the mark for displaying other traveling information can be easily recognized. Therefore, the traveling support of the motorcycle can be appropriately performed.

  The present inventor has realized that the display of map information more appropriate for motorcycles is different from that of four-wheeled passenger cars, and even if the rider who is traveling does not concentrate so much on the motorcycle display, The present inventors have eagerly studied what a display method is capable of grasping map information and have reached the present invention. In addition, the fact that a map information display method that takes into account the characteristics of a motorcycle can be realized in place of what has been conventionally diverted from the map display of a four-wheeled passenger vehicle has a great technical significance in the driving support of the motorcycle. It will be a thing.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, components having substantially the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals for the sake of brevity. In addition, this invention is not limited to the following embodiment.

  First, a map information display method for a motorcycle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are frame feed diagrams for explaining the map information display method of the present embodiment. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the periphery of the image display device 100 in a motorcycle 200 having the image display device 100. FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically illustrating an exemplary configuration of a motorcycle 200 having the image display device 100.

  In the map information display method of this embodiment, map information is displayed on the image display device 100 in a motorcycle 200 having the image display device 100 as shown in FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D, the map information is displayed on the simplified navigation display 50 including only the linear road information 10 (10a, 10b, 10c) when the motorcycle is running. Displayed on the device 100. In the linear road information 10 of the simplified navigation display 50, the vehicle position information is indicated by the front position of the image display device 100. In addition to the case where the vehicle position information is not displayed on the image display device 100 as described above, the vehicle position information can be included in the linear road information 10 and represented in the image display device 100. In the simplified navigation display 50 shown in FIG. 1, information on the lane width 25 is included in the linear road information 10. For a motorcycle, the information on the lane width 25 can be useful information during cornering, and therefore the road information 10 includes the information on the lane width 25, which is very useful. In this example, the information of the lane width 25 is represented by the thickness, but it is not limited to the thickness and may be represented by a color or a line type. For example, the road information 10 can be displayed so as to be distinguished from one lane on one side and two lanes on one side.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 1, in the method of the present embodiment, the linear road information 10 is represented by the areas (10a, 10b) where the road extends and the azimuth line 20 that visualizes the sense of distance of the road. ing. That is, the azimuth line 20 makes it possible to immediately recognize the perspective of the road 10a extending in the vertical direction and the road 10b extending in the horizontal direction (and the intersection 10c). For the rider, a sense of distance (perspective) can also be useful information, so it is preferable to display the linear road information 10 with the azimuth line 20 as the background.

  Note that the simplified navigation display 50 includes only the linear road information. The simplified navigation display 50 includes the linear road information (10, 20, 25), but is simplified or simple. The information (store name, street name, station name, railroad name, road name, and direction name) information of characters (that is, characters such as kanji) that hinders this is not included. Therefore, in the simplified navigation display 50, a line or simple mark that does not impair simplification or simplicity (for example, a simple mark indicating the position of the vehicle, a simple bar or simple mark indicating a signal, a traveling direction / direction) Can be included in the linear road information 10. As described above, since the simplified navigation display 50 does not include character information that inhibits the character that impairs simplification or simplicity, simple map information is displayed on the image display device 100.

  Here, description will be made with reference to the frame advance diagrams shown in FIGS. 1 (a) to 2 (e). First, from the state shown in FIG. 1 (a), when the motorcycle (own vehicle) travels on the road 10a, as shown in FIG. 1 (b) to FIG. You can see that it is approaching.

  The linear road information 10 in the simplified navigation 50 is very simple with no building or address display, but the presence of the azimuth line 20 does not cause an error in grasping the sense of distance even with such a simple configuration. . After FIG.1 (d), it progresses further in order as shown to FIG.2 (a) to (d), and in the state shown to FIG.2 (e), a motorcycle (own vehicle) is the intersection 10c. It approaches. Thereafter, the map information beyond the intersection 10c is displayed.

  According to the map information display method for a motorcycle of the present embodiment, map information is displayed by the simplified navigation display 50 when the motorcycle is running, so that the rider can display the image display device 100 mounted on the motorcycle. If you look at the map information, you can grasp the map information instantly. Therefore, if the present map information display method is used, it is possible to more appropriately support the traveling of the motorcycle.

  The simplified navigation display 50 is used when the motorcycle is running, but a detailed navigation display may be used when the motorcycle is stopped. In particular, it is preferable to have a system that automatically switches the map information screen between when the motorcycle is running and when it is stopped. When the motorcycle is stopped, map information other than the linear road information 10 and the vehicle position information is displayed in the map information. Examples of other map information include signals, store names, street names, Station names, track names, road names, direction names / direction marks, and the like can be given.

  The image display apparatus 100 of the present embodiment can be provided at a position as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the image display device (monitor) 100 is provided behind the handle 204. A screen (wind shield screen) 205 and a side mirror 232 are attached to the vehicle body around the image display device 100. A main switch key 230 for turning on / off the engine is also disposed below the handle 204.

  The image display device 100 according to the present embodiment is a liquid crystal display device (liquid crystal display) disposed in the meter unit 240. The image display device 100 may be another image display device such as an organic EL display device.

  The motorcycle 200 shown in FIG. 4 is a motorcycle that is compatible with the driving support system. The motorcycle 200 is a scooter-type motorcycle, and includes a front wheel 202, a rear wheel 203, a handle 204, a screen 205, a unit swing engine 206 as a driving source, and a seat 207. A rider with a helmet 208 on his head sits on the seat 207.

  In the present embodiment, the scooter type motorcycle has been exemplified as the motorcycle 200, but is not limited to the scooter type, and may be another motorcycle. Further, in this specification, “motorcycle” means a motorcycle, and specifically refers to a vehicle that can turn by tilting the vehicle body. Therefore, even if at least one of the front wheels and the rear wheels is two or more and the number of tires is counted as a tricycle / four-wheel vehicle (or more), it can be included in the “motorcycle”.

  The motorcycle 200 is provided with an image display device 100 on which a simplified navigation display 50 is displayed, an electronic control unit (ECU) 120 serving as a control unit, and a navigation device 220. The image display device 100 and the navigation device 220 are connected to the ECU 120, and a simplified navigation display 50 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be displayed on the image display device 100 by the function of the ECU 120.

  Furthermore, the illustrated motorcycle 200 is also provided with an antenna 209, a DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communication) antenna 210, a detector 212, a DSRC receiver 213, an audio / video circuit 215, and a transmitter 217.

  The antenna 209 receives a signal from the roadside marker 218 installed on the road, and is electrically connected to the DSRC receiver 213 via the detector 212 installed at the rear of the vehicle body. The DSRC antenna 210 receives a signal from a DSRC roadside antenna 219 installed on a utility pole or the like, and is connected to a DSRC receiver 213.

  The DSRC receiver 213 and the GPS receiver 122 are electrically connected to the ECU 120. The ECU 120 is also connected to an audio / video circuit 215 installed at the front of the vehicle body. The ECU 120 also includes an in-vehicle sensor that detects the running state of the motorcycle 200 (for example, a rotation sensor that detects the engine speed, a throttle opening sensor that detects the opening of the throttle valve, and an opening of the brake lever). And a vehicle-mounted navigation device 220 are connected to the vehicle.

  Connected to the audio / video circuit 215 are an image display device 100 disposed in the front part of the vehicle body together with various meters, and a transmitter 217 disposed in the front part of the vehicle body. The helmet 208 incorporates an audio receiver 222 and left and right speakers 224 connected to the audio receiver 222.

  When the scooter type motorcycle 200 passes the roadside marker 218, the antenna 209 receives a signal from the roadside marker 218 and transmits it to the DSRC receiver 213 via the detector 212. Next, DSRC receiver 213 outputs the signal to ECU 120. A signal transmitted from the roadside marker 218 notifies the ECU 120 of the start position and the end position of the provision of road information. When ECU 120 detects the start of information provision, ECU 120 receives various road information transmitted from DSRC roadside antenna 219. A signal indicating the presence of an intersection, a pedestrian crossing, a curve, a slope, or the like transmitted from the DSRC roadside antenna 219 is received by the DSRC antenna 210 and transmitted to the DSRC receiver 213. Next, various road information is input to the ECU 120 from the DSRC receiver 213.

  The ECU 120 responds to the traveling progress of the vehicle body from the information (position information) input from the GPS receiver 122, the road information input from the DSRC receiver 213, or the traveling state of the vehicle body detected by the navigation device 220. A memory map can be created by obtaining the running characteristic value of the vehicle body to be set, and this can be set and stored in the memory of the ECU.

  Since the motorcycle 200 of this example is equipped with the GPS receiver 122 and the navigation device 220 as described above, the map information (map information of the simplified navigation display 50) and the vehicle position are displayed on the image display device 100. Information can be displayed. In order to obtain the vehicle position information, it is convenient to use the GPS receiver 122 that receives GPS signals in consideration of the infrastructure environment, but other information can be used. For example, if the infrastructure is in place, the coordinate position can be specified using a receiver for mobile phone communication, wireless LAN communication, and road-to-vehicle communication.

  In addition, it is possible to specify the vehicle position using an image recognition device. For example, a course or a point can be identified by a white line or a surrounding building, and the coordinates can be specified by the identification. If there is a signboard / signpost as a base point, the identification becomes easier. Information of those base points can also be obtained by the DSRC receiver 213 described above. In addition, if it is a single road, the approximate position on the map can be specified by integration calculation if only the start position can be confirmed. In addition, there is a method in which the rider himself / herself inputs the base point position with a switch to specify the own vehicle position.

  FIG. 5 shows an example in which the speedometer 30 and other icons (31 to 37) are displayed on the image display device 100 together with the simplified navigation display 50 when the motorcycle is running. In the linear road information 10 of the simplified navigation display 50 shown in FIG. 5, own vehicle position information (own vehicle icon) 12 is clearly shown. The vehicle icon 12 representing the vehicle position information is composed of simple symbols such as circles and triangles. The traveling direction of the vehicle is also indicated by the triangular tip of the vehicle icon 12.

  Moreover, in the simplified navigation display 50 of this example, although the azimuth | direction line 20 does not exist, since the linear road information 10 is stretched around, it conveys a sense of distance and perspective to the rider. Further, the road information 10 includes the track information 10d including the function of helping the sense of distance. Since the example shown in FIG. 5 is also a simplified navigation display 50, character information such as road names and street names is not displayed during traveling.

  The simplified navigation display 50 is displayed in the map window 40. It is of course possible to display the simplified navigation display 50 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in the map window 40.

  In addition to the speed meter 30 described above, a tachometer 31, a mileage meter 32, a clock icon 33, a high beam icon 34, a blinker icon 35, a fuel gauge icon 36, and a water temperature icon 37 are displayed in other areas of the map window 40. Has been. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, a configuration may be adopted in which a curve icon 42 is displayed when a curve is reached.

  When the vehicle stops, a detailed navigation display 55 as shown in FIG. 7 can be displayed. In the detailed navigation display 55 shown in FIG. 7, character information such as a street name, a station name, and a main building name is displayed. Such a detailed navigation display 55 can be automatically switched and displayed when the vehicle is stopped. Therefore, the simplified navigation display 50 is switched to the detailed navigation display 55 when the vehicle is stopped, and the detailed navigation display 55 is displayed when the vehicle is stopped. It switches to the simplified navigation display 50.

  Switching to the detailed navigation display 55 at the time of stopping should be performed automatically upon detecting the stop, or not at the time of stopping in an intersection to pay attention to the front and surrounding traffic. Can do. Whether the vehicle is within an intersection can be determined by position information such as navigation. Manual switching by a switch can also be employed. In addition, a switch that performs a switching operation when deviating from the guide route may be employed, or a configuration that performs a switching operation when a brake, a neutral switch, or a hazard switch is turned on may be employed. be able to.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, the battery icon 38 is displayed outside the map window 40 where the detailed navigation display 55 exists. Further, the detailed navigation display 55 may display a situation around an intersection including a signal, a pedestrian crossing, and a convenience store (or a gas station) as shown in FIG.

  Further, since the detailed navigation display 55 can be viewed carefully when the vehicle is stopped, the distance D1 and D2 as shown in FIG. The distance D0 as shown in (1) may be represented by map information that is constant (that is, non-proportional) regardless of the actual distance. In the case of the display example shown in FIG. 10, more information can be expressed, and since this display is when the vehicle is stopped, there is no problem even if the rider cannot instantaneously determine the sense of distance.

  When the non-proportional relationship map information as shown in FIG. 10 is to be represented by the simplified navigation display 50 as shown in FIG. 1, for example, the interval between the azimuth lines 20 in FIG. It is only necessary to convey the sense of distance to the rider with the shading. The display of the non-proportional relationship is convenient when recognizing, for example, how many intersections there are.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the speed meter 30 is displayed on the image display device 100 together with the map window 40 in which the simplified navigation display 50 exists, the speed meter 30 is used when the motorcycle is running. It is preferable that the image display device 100 display the image without exposing it to other marks. This is because the rider pays attention when traveling because the display of the speedometer 30 is more than the map information 50 (10), the vehicle position information 12 and other information (31 to 37).

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, even when a window 44 for displaying camera image data during traveling appears on the image display device 100, the speedometer 30 always has another mark during traveling. Leave it uncovered.

  On the other hand, the background (background screen of the image display device) that is the background of the speed meter 30 can be configured to be changed to the wallpaper of the image specified by the rider (or the user such as the owner). . FIG. 12 shows an example in which the background to be the background is the wallpaper 46 designated by the user. The wallpaper 46 is preferably monotone processed so as not to impair the visibility of the speed meter 30 and other icons (31, etc.). The monotone process may be applied only when traveling.

  Further, a display configuration may be adopted in which the color of the background or wallpaper 46 changes depending on the day of the week or the time zone. As a result, the rider is notified of the zones where the possibility of an accident such as a rush hour at dusk on a specific day of the week (for example, Friday) is likely to increase by color display, and assists in driving support for motorcycles. can do.

  As one of means for assisting the traveling support of the motorcycle, it is preferable to adopt a device that displays the inspection items of the vehicle on the image display device 100 when the motorcycle is started. FIG. 13 is an example in which inspection items of the vehicle 60 are displayed on the image display device 100 when the motorcycle is started. Here, if a defect in oil is found in the vehicle 60, as shown in FIG. 14, it is preferable to display an oil inspection item 62 so that the rider can be alerted.

  The starting time of the motorcycle may not be every starting time, but may be after a certain period of time (for example, one week) or after a certain mileage (for example, 1000 km) since the previous inspection item display time. Good. Further, when the motorcycle is started, the interval from the previous ride may be calculated, and the number of inspection items displayed may be changed according to the length of the interval. For example, if the interval from the previous boarding (for example, one day) is short, the inspection items of the vehicle 60 are not displayed on the image display device 100, and the initial setting interval (for example, two days to one week) is used. , Display a first number of inspection items (eg, four main items), and if the interval is long (eg, a period of more than one week), a greater number of second inspection items than the first number of inspection items. A number of inspection items (for example, four main items + a plurality of items) may be displayed. Such display determination can be made using the ECU 120.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated by suitable embodiment, such description is not a limitation matter and of course various modifications are possible.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the display method of the map information more suitable for the rider of a motorcycle can be provided, and it is useful for the driving assistance of a motorcycle.
