Description

  The present invention relates to a stereoscopic image display device and a stereoscopic image display method, and more particularly to a stereoscopic image display device and a stereoscopic image display method for stereoscopically displaying a plurality of electronic components constituting a vehicle.

In general, an extremely large number of electronic components are used in automobiles. A person in charge of repairing an automobile or the like performs repairs with reference to a paper-based manual or an electronic electronic manual (for example, see Patent Document 1). For example, the person in charge confirms the specifications and handling method of the electronic component before replacing the electronic component to be replaced with reference to a manual.
JP 2002-140319 A

  In addition to confirming the specifications and handling method of the electronic part to be replaced, the person in charge understands the relationship between the electronic part to be replaced and other electronic parts before replacement, or a new part to be replaced. It is necessary to confirm the connection destination of the circuit connection location on the electronic component to be replaced in a scene where the electronic component is actually connected to another electronic component (Note that the electronic component to be replaced is an example) The same applies to an electronic component to be inspected, for example, in a scene where the electronic component is inspected). Therefore, each circuit connection location on the electronic component to be replaced is a connection source, and a route from the connection source circuit connection location to a circuit connection location on another electronic component to be connected (hereinafter referred to as “connection route”) If it can be clearly shown to the person in charge in a manner that can be understood at a glance, it will be a significant contribution to the efficiency of repair work and the like.

  However, the method using the manual has the following problems. One is that all circuit connection locations on all electronic components that can be replaced can be connection sources, so a huge number of connection diagrams must be created, and costs (production time and costs) ) This is a problem that the burden on the surface is large (it is presumed that there is no manual including the connection explanatory diagram that covers all the connection routes, and the cost is a large barrier).

  The other is that even if all the connection diagrams are produced, if all the connection diagrams are inserted into the electronic manual, the data capacity of the electronic manual becomes extremely large. The problem is that there is a possibility that the manual cannot be installed. In the case of a paper-based manual, the total number of pages is enormous, and handling is inconvenient even if it is combined into a single volume or separated.

The present invention has been made to solve such problems. That is,

However, the other aspect which also highlights other parts is demonstrated. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a display example at the normal time and a display example at the time of highlighting in the present embodiment.

  As another aspect, the stereoscopic image display device 10 or the stereoscopic image display 20 highlights the unit image of the start point pin and the unit image of the end point pin in addition to part or all of the unit image of the stereoscopic part image of the wiring component.

Even if a change occurs, the stereoscopic image display device 10 only needs to update the drawing information and the route start point information, or the stereoscopic image display device 20 only needs to update the drawing information according to the change. A series of unit images that should be highlighted immediately after the occurrence of the error can be extracted and highlighted.

  In addition, the stereoscopic image display device 10 or the stereoscopic image display 20 is a mode in which the highlight display is performed with the highlight color, but the series of unit images to be highlighted is emphasized by drawing with thicker lines than the other unit images. It may be displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the shape information is relative coordinates based on the position information, but may be absolute coordinates based on the vehicle. When the shape information is absolute coordinates based on the vehicle, the drawing information storage unit 100 does not store position information. In this case, shape information, normal color information, and emphasized color information correspond to the drawing information.
