  The “album search”, “album selection”, and “song selection” processes shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 are search processes for reproducing desired music. , It may be used as a search process for creating a playlist (registering desired music in the playlist).

  Next, the operation | movement in the information display process of the content reproduction apparatus 1 for vehicles which concerns on this Embodiment is demonstrated. That is, the operation of displaying operation information on the display unit 2 among the functions of the vehicle content reproduction device 1 will be mainly described. First, the operation | movement in the information display process (when operated by one person) of the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 which concerns on this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. Here, FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of information display processing of the vehicle content reproduction device 1 when either the driver D1 or the passenger D2 operates.

  The vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 detects an operation instruction of an operator who has touched the image display surface of the display unit 2 (step S10), and then detects an operator who has touched the image display surface (step S20). Specifically, as described above, based on the position information detected by the operation position detection unit 3, the operation content determination unit 72 detects the content of the operation instruction, and the direction information detected by the operation input direction detection unit 4 Based on this, the operator determination unit 71 detects the operator. For example, when the driver D1 touches the “album” icon while the menu display image of the audio operation is displayed on the image display surface of the display unit 2, the position of the touched icon image and the image display are displayed. The vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 detects that the driver D1 has instructed an operation of “search for album” from the interruption state of the optical sensor when the surface is touched.

  Next, the vehicular content reproduction apparatus 1 executes a process according to the content of the detected operation instruction (step S30). For example, in the case of “search for album” by the driver D1 described above, a process of searching for an album of music stored in the HDD is executed.

  Next, the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 displays the display unit 2 corresponding to the detected operator, that is, the display unit 21 when the driver D1 is an operator and the display unit 21 when the passenger D2 is an operator. The operation information corresponding to the executed process is displayed on the unit 22 (step S40). For example, in the case of “search for album” of the driver D1 described above, the jacket image of the music album initially displayed on the display unit 21 is displayed (see FIG. 3), and “search for album” of the passenger D2 is displayed. In this case, a jacket image of the music album initially displayed on the display unit 22 is displayed (see FIG. 5).

  Next, the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 detects the content of the operation instruction of the operator who has touched the displayed operation information (step S50), and executes processing according to the detected content of the operation instruction (step S60). For example, in the case of “search for album” of the driver D1 described above, the processing of “search for album” is performed by touching the jacket image of the album initially displayed on the display unit 21 and sliding on the image display surface. Execute (continue).

  Next, the vehicular content reproduction apparatus 1 displays operation information of the process executed in step S60 on the display unit 2 (step S70). For example, in the case of “album search” by the driver D1 described above, display is performed in which the jacket image displayed on the display unit S11 is moved in accordance with the movement of the finger touching the image display surface (FIG. 3).

  Next, the operation | movement in the information display process (in the case of operating by two persons) of the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 which concerns on this Embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. Here, FIG. 8 shows a flow of information display processing of the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 when the passenger D1 interrupts and operates “search for album” while the driver D1 operates “search for album”. It is a flowchart.

  When detecting the operation instruction of “search for album” by the driver D1 (step S110), the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 executes the “search for album” process (step S120), and displays the central display on the first display unit 21. While displaying the jacket image of the music album in the part S11, the jacket image is moved and displayed in accordance with the sliding motion of the finger touching the jacket image of the driver D1 (step S130: see FIG. 3). That is, the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 displays operation information on the first display unit 21 in the first display mode.

  Next, while the driver D1 is performing “search for album”, the vehicle content reproduction device 1 detects an interruption operation by the passenger D2 (step S120). FIG. 9 shows a state of the display unit 2 when the passenger D2 performs an interruption operation while the driver D1 is performing an “album search” operation. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, when the passenger D2 touches the “album” icon in the menu displayed on the left display portion S13, the vehicle content reproduction device 1 detects an interruption operation.

  Next, the vehicular content reproduction device 1 continues the “album search” process (step S150), and displays the jacket image of the album on the central display unit S11 and the console display unit S2 of the second display unit 22, A display for moving the jacket image in accordance with the sliding motion of the finger touching the jacket image of the person D2 is performed (step S160: see FIG. 5). That is, the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 displays the operation information on the second display unit 22 in the second display mode. In this way, when the passenger D2 performs an interrupt operation while the driver D1 is performing the “search for album” operation, the vehicle content reproduction device 1 continues to perform “search for album”. However, it is determined that the operating authority has shifted from the driver D1 to the passenger D2, and the display area and display mode of the display unit 2 are changed.

  Next, when detecting the operation instruction of “select album” by the passenger D2 (step S170: see FIG. 5), the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 executes the “select album” process (step S180), A song selection image displaying a list of song names included in the selected music album is displayed on the right display portion S13 of the display unit 22 (step S190: see FIG. 6).

  Thus, in the information display process shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the driver D1 and the passenger D2 can perform the album search operation while communicating via the image display surface. In FIG. 8, the case where the passenger D2 performs an interrupt operation while the driver D1 is performing the album search operation has been described. However, while the passenger D2 is performing the album search operation, When the driver D1 performs an interrupt operation, the album search image displayed in the second display mode on the second display unit 22 is displayed on the first display unit 21 in the first display mode by the interrupt operation. Become.

  In the information display process shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the interrupt operation is detected by touching the “album” icon. However, the detection of the interrupt operation is not limited to this method. For example, the interruption operation may be detected by touching other operation information displayed on the display unit 2.

  Further, in the information display process shown in FIG. 8, in order to communicate between the driver D1 and the passenger D2, the album selection process is taken over by the detection of the interrupt operation. However, the album selection process is not taken over. Also good. That is, when there is an interrupt operation, predetermined operation information (for example, a predetermined menu or the like, which is set in advance) may be displayed.

  Further, FIG. 8 shows the information display processing when both the passengers perform the album search operation. However, the album search may be performed by a different linkage method. For example, the passenger D2 may perform “search for album” and “select album” and the driver D1 confirms the selected music album, so that the music album is finally determined. In this case, the passenger D2 performs the album search operation, and the driver D1 performs the consent or non-agreement operation for determining whether the selected music album is right or wrong. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of information display processing in such a case.

  When the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 detects an operation instruction for “search for album” by the passenger D2 (step S210), the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 executes “search for album” processing (step S220), and displays the central display on the second display unit 22. While displaying the jacket image of the album on the part S11 and the console display part S2, a display for moving the jacket image in accordance with the sliding motion of the finger touching the jacket image of the passenger D2 is performed (step S230). That is, the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 displays the operation information on the second display unit 22 in the second display mode.

  Next, when the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 detects an operation instruction of “select album” by the passenger D2 (step S240), it executes “select album” processing (step S250), and selects the selected album image. The data is displayed on the central display unit S11 of the first display unit 21 (second display unit 22) (step S250).

  Next, the driver D1 looks at the album image displayed on the central display unit S11, and when the album is acceptable, the driver D1 performs an agreement operation. When the album is not satisfactory, the driver D1 performs a disagreement operation. Detects this consent operation or non-agreement operation (step S270). Here, the consent operation is, for example, an operation of touching the album image displayed on the image display surface and sliding leftward, and the non-agreement operation is, for example, a touch of the album image displayed on the image display surface. This is an action of sliding in the right direction.

  Next, when the detected operation instruction is an agreement operation (step S280: YES), the vehicle content reproduction apparatus 1 displays the song name included in the selected music album on the right display unit S12 of the first display unit 21. A song selection image that is a list display is displayed (step S290), and if the detected operation instruction is a non-agreement operation (step S280: NO), the album displayed on the central display unit S11 of the first display unit 21 The image is erased (step S300).

  Therefore, also in the information display process as shown in FIG. 10, the driver D1 and the passenger D2 can perform the album search operation and the album selection operation while communicating.

  As described above, according to the vehicular content reproduction apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the display unit 2 is suitable for each of the driver D1 and the passenger D2 by using a novel user interface that has not been conventionally used. This makes it possible to provide a display device with good operability for each of the driver D1 and the passenger D2.

  Further, since the driver D1 and the passenger D2 can display and operate the same operation information in cooperation with each other, the driver D1 and the passenger D2 can communicate with each other.

  In the above-described embodiment, each process (album search process, album selection) is performed in correspondence with each operation of the hand such as touching, sliding, and hitting the operation information (jacket image, icon image) displayed on the display unit 2. However, the hand operation is not limited to the specific example described above. For example, each process may be assigned in response to an operation such as tapping twice, writing a circle, or touching for a predetermined time.

  Also, in the above embodiment, the information display process has been described by taking a music search operation as an example, but the present invention is applied to a search operation for other content (for example, moving image content such as a DVD) that can be reproduced in the car. Of course, it is good.

  Further, when the operation of the driver D1 and the passenger D2 on the display unit 2 is simultaneous, that is, the operator determination unit 71 and the operation content determination unit 72 determine that the operation of the driver D1 and the passenger D2 is simultaneous. In this case, it may be determined which operation is performed by the driver D1 or the passenger D2 according to a predetermined rule. For example, if the previous operator is stored, the previous operator's operation may be performed, or if the vehicle is in a stopped state, the operation may be performed by the driver D1. In the case where priority setting of whether or not to perform is provided, the operation may be performed by a passenger who has priority setting.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the operation and display by two passengers, you may apply to the case of three or more passengers. For example, a rear display unit for a rear seat may be newly provided, and a rear display unit may be added to the display unit 2 to perform the information display process described above.
