Description

  The present invention relates to an in-vehicle information output device and an in-vehicle information display device.

  In recent years, with the development of information equipment, information display devices mounted on vehicles such as car navigation systems are rapidly spreading. An in-vehicle information display device such as a car navigation system supports driving by displaying route guidance and traffic jam information to a destination.

  The in-vehicle information display device restricts information to be displayed during traveling so that the driver during driving operation does not pay attention to the screen so that the driver is not subjected to loads other than driving operation. Each manufacturer that manufactures an in-vehicle information display device restricts information to be displayed while the vehicle is running, in accordance with the guidelines established by the Japan Automobile Research Institute.

For example, Patent Document 1 describes a technique for detecting the situation of a vehicle and turning off the display screen or reducing the amount of information to be displayed according to the situation. Patent Document 2 describes a technique for displaying only information on a program that ends before a vehicle arrives at a destination when displaying a program guide included in digital broadcasting. Patent Document 3 describes a technique for displaying a program table in which the content of a program with a short broadcast time is omitted when there is a limit to the size of a screen on which the program table can be displayed. Patent Document 4 describes a technique for facilitating auto-preset of receivable broadcasting stations by changing the operation mode of operation buttons. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-228561 describes a technique that makes it easy to select and determine a program by searching program information for each genre and displaying only program information of a selected genre.

  The above-described prior art reduces the work load given to the driver by eliminating information to be displayed on the screen or reducing the amount of information to be displayed during traveling. However, when the information displayed on the screen is lost, there is a problem that information cannot be provided to the driver. In addition, if the amount of information to be displayed is reduced, it is possible to provide the main information, but it takes time to recognize the contents of the character information. For example, it is dangerous to check this information while driving. There was a problem of being. Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the vehicle-mounted information output device and vehicle-mounted information display apparatus which output and display information to a driver | operator more intuitively during driving | running | working.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention replaces information provided to the driver with a state that can be easily read, and outputs and displays the information.

Specifically, it is an in-vehicle information output device that is mounted on a vehicle and outputs information to a display means that displays information to at least an occupant including a driver, and stores graphic data that graphically illustrates the contents of character data. It is determined whether storage means, content data including character data, search means for searching graphic data corresponding to a keyword of the character data from the storage means, and whether the vehicle is running. Determining means; and output means for outputting graphic data searched by the searching means when the vehicle is determined to be running by the determining means.

  In this in-vehicle information output device, graphic data in which the content of character data is graphically stored is stored in advance. This graphic data is a graphical representation of the meaning indicated by the character data, and is created artificially in advance.

  When the search means acquires the content data including the character data, the search means searches the storage means in which the graphic data is stored. The content data acquired by the searching means is data of information provided to the driver or the like, and examples thereof include information including character data such as traffic information, vehicle state information, route guidance information, and electronic program information. These content data may be sent from outside the vehicle by wireless communication, or may be sent from an information device mounted on the vehicle. The searching means uses the keyword contained in the character data as a search key and searches the storage means for graphic data corresponding to the keyword. Here, the keywords included in the character data are words and phrases that constitute the text of the character data. The searching means searches the storage means for graphic data in which the meaning indicated by such a keyword is graphically represented.

  The output means changes information to be output according to the state of the vehicle determined by the determination means. That is, the output means displays the graphic data searched by the searching means when the vehicle is traveling. As a result, the driver can grasp the information more easily than characters by looking at the displayed graphic.

  Here, “the vehicle is running” means that the driver is driving the vehicle and it is not preferable that the driver read the character information.

  As described above, according to the present invention, information can be output and displayed to the driver more intuitively while traveling.

  Here, in the on-vehicle information output device, the graphic data corresponding to the keyword of the character data is retrieved from the storage means by the searching means while the vehicle is determined to be traveling by the determining means. If there is no text data corresponding to the keyword, the text data that has not been retrieved may be further provided with a text data reproducing means that reads out the text data.

  According to this, even when the graphic data corresponding to the keyword of the character data is not stored in the storage means, the character data is read out by voice. Therefore, the driver can acquire the information of the character data that has not been replaced with the graphic data without being forced to read the characters.

  The storage means stores graphic data schematically representing the contents of character data used in an electronic program guide for digital television broadcasting, and the searching means includes a digital broadcast including an electronic program guide having character data. A signal may be acquired, and graphic data corresponding to a keyword of character data in the electronic program guide may be retrieved from the storage means.

Digital television broadcasting includes electronic program guide data. The data of the electronic program guide includes character data such as program names and contents. Usually, a digital television broadcast receiver displays the received electronic program guide data as character information.

  Here, the in-vehicle information output device according to the present invention stores graphic data in which the contents of the character data used in the electronic program guide are schematically illustrated. Then, the searching means searches for the corresponding graphic data using the keyword of the character data of the acquired digital broadcast signal as a search key. As a result, the driver can view the electronic program guide displayed graphically while driving the vehicle. That is, the driver can grasp the contents of the electronic program guide more easily than when displayed in characters.

  Here, the on-vehicle information output device further includes route guidance means having a function of calculating an estimated arrival time at which the vehicle arrives at a destination, and the output means is the arrival information calculated by the route guidance means. Graphic data of a program broadcast at a time later than the scheduled time may be output.

  According to this, since the graphic of the program broadcast before the driver finishes driving the vehicle is not displayed, the driver can easily check the program broadcast after the driving ends. .

  Here, the on-vehicle information output device described above is a driver who selects a program to be reserved by looking at the graphic data regarding the program reservation output by the output means while the determination means determines that the vehicle is running. Reservation receiving means for receiving a reservation operation of the program, and the storage means stores content data of the corresponding program when the reservation receiving means accepts the reservation of the program, and the output means is provided by the determining means. If it is determined that the vehicle is not running, the content data stored in the storage means may be further output.

  The driver cannot view the broadcast program while driving the vehicle, but depending on the content of the program, the driver may think that he / she watched the program after the end of driving. Therefore, a program reservation operation is accepted while the vehicle is running, and the reserved program content data is stored. The driver selects a program by looking at the electronic program guide in which character data is replaced with graphic data. The output means outputs the stored content data when the vehicle is not running. As a result, the driver can view the program that he / she wishes to view by watching the program guide displayed while the vehicle is running after the end of driving. Note that the vehicle is not traveling means a state in which the driver does not drive the vehicle and may allow the driver to read the character information.

  Here, the on-vehicle information output device further includes user setting reception means for receiving display or non-display settings for each graphic data input from the user, and the storage means is received by the user setting reception means. The graphic data display or non-display setting may be stored for each graphic data, and the output means may output only the graphic data set to be displayed.

  The contents of digital television broadcast programs are diverse, and some users do not want to watch at all. Displaying such program information to a driving driver is not preferable because it gives unnecessary information to the driver. Therefore, graphic data to be displayed can be set in advance for each graphic data. As a result, the user can view the electronic program guide from which graphic data of programs that are not desired to be viewed is excluded during driving.

  Here, the determination means may determine whether or not the vehicle is traveling based on a parking brake state of the vehicle. By detecting the state of the parking brake, it is possible to determine whether or not the vehicle is running.

  Here, the determination means may determine whether or not the vehicle is traveling based on the speed of the vehicle. By detecting the speed of the vehicle, it is possible to determine whether or not the vehicle is running.

  Further, the present invention is an in-vehicle information display device that is mounted on a vehicle and displays information to an occupant including at least a driver, and is graphical data that graphically illustrates the contents of character data. Storing means for storing content data including character data, searching means for searching graphic data corresponding to a keyword of the character data from the storage means, and whether or not the vehicle is running And a display means for displaying graphic data retrieved by the locating means when the vehicle is determined to be traveling by the determining means.

<Processing flow>
Next, the process flow of the in-vehicle television device 1 will be described. In FIG. 4, the processing flow figure of the vehicle-mounted television apparatus 1 is shown. Hereinafter, the processing flow of the in-vehicle television device 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

(Step S101) When the accessory power supply or the main power supply of the vehicle 2 is turned on, the operation power supply is supplied to the in-vehicle television device 1 and the reception of the terrestrial digital broadcast wave is started. That is, when operating power is supplied to the in-vehicle television device 1, the received signal of the terrestrial digital broadcast wave is amplified by the tuner 12 and sent to the demodulator 13. The received signal is demodulated into a transport stream signal by the demodulator 13, video data and the like are extracted by the TS decoder 14, converted to a video signal by the video decoder 16, and displayed as a video on the liquid crystal panel of the display unit 4. The At this time, it is assumed that the parking brake 18 is applied to the vehicle 2 and the switch 19 is turned on.

  (Step S102) Next, when an occupant of the vehicle 2 requests display of the electronic program guide, the CPU 8 receives character data from the TS decoder 14 and extracts data necessary for display of the electronic program guide from this character data. To do. Then, the CPU 8 processes the extracted data to generate an electronic program guide screen and outputs it to the video decoder 16 as video data. The video decoder 16 generates a video signal from the video data of the electronic program guide sent from the CPU 8 and outputs it to the display unit 4. Thereby, character information (corresponding to character data in the present invention) such as a program name, a broadcasting station name, and a broadcasting time is displayed on the display unit 4. FIG. 5 shows an example of the screen displayed at this time. As shown in FIG. 5, on the screen of the display unit 4, character information relating to the broadcast station name, broadcast time, program category and contents is displayed. Note that this step is not only executed in response to an electronic program guide display request from an occupant, but, for example, when the broadcasting area of digital terrestrial broadcasting changes due to movement of the vehicle 2, this step is executed again. Also good.

  (Step S103) Here, when the vehicle 2 is running (that is, the parking brake is released), the switch 19 is turned off. When the CPU 8 detects that the switch 19 is turned off, the CPU 8 determines that the vehicle 2 is traveling and places travel restrictions on information displayed on the display unit 4. The CPU 8 outputs the screen of the electronic program guide generated in step S102 to the display unit 4 until it detects that the switch 19 is turned off or until another passenger displays a screen. Display.

  (Step S104) When the CPU 8 detects that the switch 19 is turned off, the CPU 8 extracts a keyword (a word such as a noun) included in the character data received from the TS decoder 14.

  (Step S105) Next, the CPU 8 uses the extracted keyword as a search key and searches the ROM 10 for graphic data corresponding to the search key. For example, if the keyword “baseball” is included in the character data, graphic data (a baseball ball picture) matching this keyword is searched. Also, if the character data contains keywords such as “Team A” and “Team B”, graphic data that matches these keywords (such as the logo of the team with the player's picture with the bat drawn, Find the logo of the drawn team.)

  (Step S106) Next, the CPU 8 generates a screen of the electronic program guide based on the retrieved graphic data, and outputs the generated screen to the video decoder 16 as video data. The video decoder 16 generates a video signal from the video data of the electronic program guide sent from the CPU 8 and outputs it to the display unit 4. As a result, graphic information (corresponding to graphic data in the present invention) indicating the category and contents of the program is displayed on the display unit 4. FIG. 6 shows an example of the screen displayed at this time. As shown in FIG. 6, on the screen of the display unit 4, a picture of a baseball ball reminiscent of a professional baseball game, a logo of a baseball team reminiscent of the name of a baseball team to be played, and the like are displayed.

<Effect>
As described above, the electronic program guide in which characters are converted into figures is displayed on the screen of the display unit 4. This also allows the driver to read information without gazing at the display unit 4, and thus can acquire a variety of information without incurring work loads other than driving work. Become.

<Modification 1>
In the above embodiment, when graphic data corresponding to the keyword is not extracted, the character data information corresponding to the keyword is not provided to the occupant. Therefore, the in-vehicle television device 1 according to the above embodiment may be modified as follows. FIG. 7 shows an internal configuration of the main unit 20 according to this modification. As shown in FIG. 7, the main unit 20 includes a speech reading processing unit 17 in addition to the components of the main unit 3 according to the above embodiment. In addition, in this modification, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the component and process flow similar to the vehicle-mounted television apparatus 1 which concerns on the said embodiment, and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The speech reading processing unit 17 newly added to the above embodiment converts character data sent from the CPU 8 or the TS decoder 14 into a reading signal in response to a command from the CPU 8. That is, the voice reading processing unit 17 has voice data of characters or words, and generates voice corresponding to the characters or words of the character data sent from the CPU 8 or the TS decoder 14 based on the voice data. Output as a reading signal. The voice reading processing unit 17 sends the generated reading signal to the voice decoder 15.

  Next, a processing flow of the main unit 20 according to this modification will be described. In FIG. 8, the processing flowchart of the main unit 20 which concerns on this modification is shown.

  (Step S201) When the processing up to Step S104 is completed, the CPU 8 uses the extracted keyword as a search key and searches the ROM 10 for graphic data corresponding to this search key, as in Step S105 according to the above embodiment. Here, when the character data keyword includes a character data keyword that does not store the corresponding graphic data, the CPU 8 stores the character data of the keyword in the RAM 9. When this step is completed, the CPU 8 shifts the process to step S106, and outputs and displays a figure on the display unit 4.

  (Step S202) When the process of step S106 is completed, the CPU 8 sends the character data stored in the RAM 9 to the voice reading processing unit 17. The voice reading processing unit 17 converts the character data sent from the CPU 8 into a reading signal and sends it to the voice decoder 15.

  As described above, according to this modification, since characters that have not been converted into a graphic are read out by voice, the occupant of the vehicle 2 can obtain information on character data that has not been converted into a graphic without omission. Become.

<Modification 2>
In the above embodiment, whether or not the vehicle is running is detected by the switch 19 of the parking brake 18, but the vehicle speed is detected by detecting a vehicle speed pulse used in an ECU (Engine Control Unit). You may make it detect whether it is drive | working. That is, for example, it is determined that the vehicle 2 is traveling when the speed of the vehicle 2 is 5 km / h or more by a vehicle speed pulse, and it is determined that the vehicle 2 is not traveling when the speed is less than 5 km / h. May be.

<Modification 3>
Further, by connecting a car navigation system to the in-vehicle television device 1 and allowing the CPU 8 to acquire the estimated arrival time when the vehicle 2 arrives at the destination, the graphic of the program broadcast before the estimated arrival time. The data may not be displayed. That is, the CPU 8 compares the scheduled broadcast time of the program included in the character data with the estimated arrival time notified from the car navigation system. If the compared broadcast scheduled time of the program is earlier than the estimated arrival time, the extraction of the character data keyword and the corresponding graphic data regarding this program are omitted. For programs broadcast after the scheduled arrival time, keywords are extracted from the character data of the programs, and the corresponding graphic data is retrieved to display unit 4.
Output to and display. Thereby, the graphic data of the program that the driver cannot view is not displayed on the display unit 4.

<Modification 4>
In addition, the selection of a program displayed in a graphic form on the display unit 4 may be received by an operation of a touch panel or steering (not shown) via the input / output interface 11 so that a program reservation operation can be performed. In this case, the input / output interface 11 performs a function corresponding to the reservation accepting means in the present invention.

  Specifically, when any program in the electronic program guide displayed as a graphic is selected, the CPU 8 stores the content data of the selected program in the RAM 9. When the vehicle 2 is not traveling, the program content data is reproduced and the program information is output to the display unit 4. Here, the content data is data indicating the content of the program, and is, for example, character data of a summary sentence summarizing the content of the program, video or audio data of the program, or the like. When the vehicle is not running, the CPU 8 displays a summary sentence that summarizes the contents of the program, or reproduces recorded video and audio. As a result, the driver can read information on these contents and view the contents after the vehicle stops. When the CPU 8 records a program, the content data is preferably stored in a large-capacity storage medium such as a hard disk.

<Modification 5>
In addition, the in-vehicle television device 1 may receive a setting for non-display of graphics from the user via the input / output interface 11 and store the setting in the RAM 9. In this case, the input / output interface 11 fulfills a function corresponding to the user setting accepting means in the present invention.

  Specifically, the CPU 8 prevents the graphic data set not to be displayed from being searched in step S106. As a result, when the vehicle is traveling, unnecessary program graphics are not displayed, so that it is possible to easily recognize information on necessary programs. When applying this modification, it is preferable to apply a flash memory or the like that does not require a memory holding operation to the RAM 9.
