You may make it make it. That is, since the generation of the fluctuation sound is prohibited while the driving support device is not operating, the relaxing effect on the driver is suppressed and the safety can be improved. Further, since the fluctuation noise is generated during traveling or parking while the driving support device is operating, the driver can be relaxed.

  Alternatively, in claim 6, as in the invention described in claim 8, the adjusting means detects that the vehicle is traveling by obtaining the detection result of the traveling state detecting means, and the judging means determines that the driving support device is not used. When it is determined that the vehicle is in the operating state, the aroma generating device generates awakening fragrance, the detection result of the driving state detecting unit is acquired and the driving state is detected, and the driving unit is operated by the determining unit. If it is determined that the vehicle is sedated, the fragrance generating device generates sedative fragrance. You may make it make it. That is, since the awakening fragrance is generated while the driving support device is not operating, the driver can be awakened and the safety can be improved. Further, since the sedative fragrance is generated while the driving support device is operating, the driver can be relaxed, and the driver can be relaxed while ensuring safety. In addition, since the scenting scent is generated during parking, it is possible to seduce during safety parking, and the driver can take a nap.

  Alternatively, in claim 6, as in the invention described in claim 9, the adjusting means detects that the vehicle is traveling by obtaining the detection result of the traveling state detecting means, and the judging means determines that the driving support device is not used. When it is determined that the vehicle is in an operating state, the decoration color is changed so that the decoration color changing device has a color that gives an awakening effect, and the detection result of the running state detecting means is acquired to be running. When it is detected and the driving support device is determined to be in an operating state by the determining means, or when it is detected that the vehicle is parked by obtaining the detection result of the driving state detecting means, the decorative color changing device You may make it change a decoration color so that it may become a color which gives a sedative effect. That is, since the decoration color is changed so as to have a color that gives an awakening effect while the driving support device is not operating, the driver can be awakened and safety can be improved. In addition, since the decoration color is changed so as to give a sedative effect color while traveling or parking while the driving support device is operating, the driver can be relaxed while ensuring safety.

  As described above, according to the present invention, adjustment is performed by adjusting the driving environment so as to be in the driver's mental state according to the determination result of the operating state of the driving support device that performs driving support for the driver. Since the driver can be provided with an awakening effect and a relaxation effect according to the operating state of the driving support device depending on the environment that has been made, the effect that the driver's mental state can be matched to the operating state of the driving support device There is.

Further, the image or pattern stored in the display controller 20 may be an image or pattern that uses a psychological effect of the color, such as a combination of colors or a pattern, and this also adjusts the driver's mental state. It is possible.

  The illumination controller 22 is adapted to adjust the color of the illumination of the combination meter, illumination illumination, etc. In this embodiment, red, blue and green LEDs are applied as the light source, and a plurality of illumination colors are applied. It is designed to change the color, and the lighting color is adjusted to adjust the driver's mental state. That is, for example, as described above, the lighting controller 22 can adjust the driver's mental state by adjusting the color in consideration of the psychological effect exerted by each color.

  By the way, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the driver's mental state is positioned as an uncomfortable comfort axis and an excitement-sedation axis, and the mental state adjustment controller 12 is arranged in the direction of each axis. The air conditioner controller 16, the audio controller 18, the display controller 20, and the lighting controller 22 are controlled so that the state transitions. Specifically, the awakening state in a comfortable and excited direction, and the comfortable and calming direction. A driving environment that provides four states of a light relaxed state, a relaxed state, and a sufficiently relaxed state divided into three is generated by a combination of the air conditioning controller 16, the audio controller 18, the display controller 20, and the lighting controller 22. And adjust the environment in the passenger compartment.

  Next, an example of the flow of processing performed by the mental state adjustment controller 12 of the mental state adjustment device 10 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing performed by the mental state adjustment controller 12 of the mental state adjustment apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  First, in step 100, it is determined whether an occupant has boarded. The determination is made, for example, by connecting a courtesy switch, an ignition switch, or the like to the mental state adjustment controller 12 as the occupant detection means 26, and detecting the opening of the door by the courtesy switch or detecting the operation of the ignition switch. The process waits until the determination is affirmed and proceeds to step 102.

  In step 102, environmental adjustment is performed to give the driver a relaxing effect. For example, the display controller 20 displays an image or pattern having a 1 / f action, and the audio controller 18 outputs music or natural sound that gives a 1 / f fluctuation action, thereby relaxing the state shown in FIG. The display controller 20 and the audio controller 18 are controlled so that Thereby, the environment in the passenger compartment is adjusted, and a relaxing effect can be given to the driver. In addition, you may make it generate the fragrance | flavor which gives a relaxation effect by the air-conditioning controller 18 at this time.

  Next, in step 104, it is determined whether or not the vehicle is in operation. The determination is made by determining whether or not the vehicle is traveling from the vehicle speed obtained via the engine ECU 40 and the cruise control ECU 30. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 106. If the determination is negative, the determination is made. The process proceeds to step 108 as it is.

  In step 106, environmental adjustment is performed so as to give the driver an awakening effect. For example, the air-conditioning controller 16 outputs a perfume of a component that activates the brain by adrenaline being secreted in the brain, such as rosemary and jasmine, which has an awakening effect, on the wind of 1 / f fluctuation, The output of music or sound that gives f fluctuation action is prohibited, and an image or pattern that gives 1 / f fluctuation action is displayed by the display controller 20 based on the color in which a lot of adrenaline such as red is secreted. Illumination is controlled by controlling the brightness so that the 1 / f fluctuation is based on red. As a result, the environment in the passenger compartment is adjusted to the state shown in FIG. 4A, and the driver is awakened, so that the driver can be awakened.

  Next, at step 108, it is determined whether or not auto-cruising is in progress. The determination is made by acquiring the operation state of the cruise control switch 32 via the auto cruise control ECU 30 and determining whether or not the state of the cruise control switch 32 is a state in which auto cruise is selected. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 110. If the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step 112 as it is.

  In step 110, environmental adjustment is performed to give the driver a light relaxing effect. For example, the air-conditioning controller 16 outputs a fragrance of a relaxing component such as sweet mashorum that has a slight sedative effect on the wind of 1 / f fluctuation, and the frequency and power when the power spectrum is analyzed by the audio controller 18 are inversely proportional. The straight line tilt outputs music or sound that gives 1 / f fluctuation action with an average of −0.6, and the display controller 20 produces an image or pattern that gives 1 / f fluctuation action based on a calming color such as green. The illumination controller 22 illuminates by controlling the light and dark so that the 1 / f fluctuation is based on the green color. As a result, the environment in the passenger compartment is adjusted to the state shown in FIG. 4B, so that the driver is lightly calmed down, and a light relaxing effect can be given to the driver.

  Next, in step 112, it is determined whether automatic driving is in progress. The determination is made by acquiring the operation state of the cruise control switch 32 via the auto cruise control ECU 30 and determining whether or not the state of the cruise control switch 32 is a state in which automatic driving is selected. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 114, and if the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step 116 as it is.

  In step 114, environmental adjustment is performed to give a relaxing effect. For example, the air-conditioning controller 16 outputs a scent of a sedative component such as sandalwood on a 1 / f fluctuation wind, and the audio controller 18 performs a power spectrum analysis. However, it outputs music and sound that give 1 / f fluctuation action with an average of -0.8, and displays images, patterns, etc. that give 1 / f fluctuation action on the basis of colors having a calming action such as purple by the display controller 20 Then, the illumination controller 22 illuminates by controlling the light and dark so that the 1 / f fluctuation is based on purple. As a result, the environment in the passenger compartment is adjusted to the state shown in FIG. 4C to calm the driver, and a relaxing effect can be given to the driver.

  Next, at step 116, it is determined whether or not the nap environment. The determination is made, for example, by determining whether or not the state of the PKB switch 24 has exceeded the predetermined time after the parking brake is applied. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 118. If the result is negative, the process proceeds to step 120 as it is. The determination in step 116 may be made by connecting a switch such as a nap switch to the mental state adjustment controller 12 and determining whether or not the switch has been operated by the occupant.

  In step 118, the environment is adjusted so as to give the driver a sufficient relaxing effect. For example, the air conditioning controller 16 outputs a perfume having a hypnotic action such as clariage on 1 / f fluctuation wind, and the audio controller 18 performs a power spectrum analysis. , Outputs music or sound that gives an average of 1 / f fluctuation action, displays images, patterns, etc. that give 1 / f fluctuation action based on a color having a hypnotic action such as blue by the display controller 20, The controller 22 illuminates by controlling the brightness so that the 1 / f fluctuation is based on blue. As a result, the environment in the passenger compartment is adjusted to the state shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, at step 120, it is determined whether the environmental adjustment is finished. For this determination, for example, a switch for stopping the control by the mental state adjustment controller 12 may be provided, and the determination may be made according to the state of the switch, or it may be determined whether or not the ignition switch is turned off. May be.

  If the determination in step 120 is negative, the process returns to step 104 and the above-described processing is repeated. When the determination in step 120 is affirmed, the processing performed by the mental state adjustment controller 12 is terminated.

  As described above, when the driver is driving (running), the mental state adjustment controller 12 shifts to the awake state in which the driver's mental state is comfortable and the excitement direction as shown in FIG. The air conditioning controller 16, the audio controller 18, the display controller 20, and the lighting controller 22 are controlled so as to become an environment to perform, and during the auto cruise, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4C, when the air conditioning controller 16, the audio controller 18, the display controller 20, and the lighting controller 22 are controlled so as to become an environment for shifting to a light relaxed state and automatic operation is in progress. The air conditioning controller 16, the audio controller 18, and the display controller so as to provide a comfortable and quiet environment for transitioning to a relaxed state. Controller 20, and controls the lighting controller 22. And when the control provided for the nap is instructed, as shown in FIG. 4 (D), the air conditioning controller 16 and the audio controller are arranged so that the environment is shifted to a comfortable and sufficiently relaxed state in the strong sedation direction. 18. The display controller 20 and the illumination controller 22 are controlled. In other words, the driving environment is adjusted so that the driver's mental state according to the driving state and the operating state of the driving support device is adjusted, so that the driver's mental state is matched to the driving state and the operating state of the driving support device. Can do.
