[First Embodiment]
The first embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the vehicle 2 including the vehicle display device 1 according to the present embodiment.

  A vehicle 2 shown in FIG. 2 includes a windshield 3. The driver recognizes the scenery in front through the windshield 3. Further, the surface of the windshield 3 on the vehicle interior side is subjected to processing that functions as a combiner (reflecting member). By irradiating light to the combiner from the vehicle display device 1 included in the vehicle 2, the driver can visually recognize the display image. Furthermore, the vehicle display device 1 can display images on the area near the point A and the area near the point B in FIG.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example when the front of the vehicle 2 is viewed from the driver's seat. The vehicle 2 includes an instrument panel 4 and a steering 5. Further, the steering unit 5 is provided with an operation unit 20. The operation unit 20 is a part of the vehicle display device 1 (not shown in FIG. 3). In FIG. 3, the area near the point A is shown as a first display area 60, and the area near the point B is shown as a second display area 61. The first display area 60 is an area disposed below the windshield 3, and the second display area 61 is an area disposed near the driver's visual field (or superimposed on the visual field).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the internal configuration of the vehicle display device 1.

  The vehicle display device 1 includes a vehicle information acquisition unit 10, an operation unit 20, a first image output unit 30, a second image output unit 40, and a control unit 50. In FIG. 4, only the modules related to the vehicle display device 1 according to the present embodiment are shown for simplicity.

  The vehicle information acquisition unit 10 receives a signal output by each unit of the vehicle (for example, an engine, a brake system, a battery, and the like). The vehicle information acquisition part 10 can grasp | ascertain a vehicle speed with a vehicle speed sensor, for example, and can grasp | ascertain the state of a brake system from the signal which a brake system outputs. The vehicle information acquisition unit 10 outputs these pieces of information to the control unit 50 as vehicle information (information such as vehicle speed, state of the brake system, etc.). That is, the vehicle information acquisition unit 10 acquires the internal state of the vehicle 2 by various sensors, and outputs the internal state of the vehicle 2 to the control unit 50 as vehicle information.

  The operation unit 20 is provided in the steering 5 and receives a driver's operation on the vehicle display device 1. The operation unit 20 may be a touch pad or a mechanical switch. The vehicular display device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described as being provided with a touch pad as the operation unit 20, but the operation unit 20 is not limited to the touch pad.

  The 1st image output part 30 irradiates light to the 1st display area 60 mentioned above, and provides a driver | operator with an image. Similarly, the 2nd image output part 40 irradiates light to the 2nd display area 61, and provides a driver | operator with an image. The first display area 60 is an area that is far from the driver's visual field, and the second display area 61 is an area close to the driver's visual field. Further, the first image output unit 30, the second image output unit 40, and the windshield 3 that forms the display area (the first display area 60 and the second display area 61) include the above-described image display part. 101.

  The control unit 50 controls the entire vehicle display device 1, and based on the information obtained from the vehicle information acquisition unit 10 and the operation unit 20, the first image output unit 30 and the second image output unit 40 A signal including image information to be output is output. That is, the first image output unit 30 and the second image output unit 40 change the display content and display mode based on the image signal output from the control unit 50.

  Here, the display content in the vehicle 2 will be described. As described above, the information that the vehicle 2 provides to the driver is diverse. These pieces of information can be classified as follows.

  The first information is information that is legally required to provide information to the driver. This type of information includes vehicle speed, direction indication (so-called winker information), some warnings, and the like. Such information that is legally required to provide information to the driver is defined as always-provided information.

  The second information is important information that should be immediately transmitted to the driver due to the nature of the display content. For example, when an abnormality is recognized in the brake system, it is necessary to immediately inform the driver of the content and prompt the driver to take appropriate measures such as stopping immediately. Such information is defined as first warning information.

  The third information is information that should be promptly communicated to the driver, though not as urgent and important as the first warning information. For example, a display that prompts the user to wear a seat belt applies when refueling becomes necessary. Such information is defined as second warning information.

  The fourth information does not apply to the first warning information and the second warning information described above, but is information that is desired to be transmitted to the driver due to its nature. Such information is defined as third warning information.

  Prior to the operation, the vehicle display device 1 classifies information obtained from the vehicle information acquisition unit 10 in advance according to the contents. More specifically, information acquired by the vehicle information acquisition unit 10 and its classification information are stored in a storage unit (not shown), and the control unit 50 determines the display mode while referring to the storage contents of the storage unit. To do. For example, since the vehicle speed is always provided information, it is always displayed in a part of the first display area 60. On the other hand, if the vehicle information acquisition unit 10 obtains information corresponding to an abnormality (first warning information) in the brake system, an icon or a message is displayed in a predetermined mode (a first later-described first). Display mode).

  Next, the operation of the vehicle display device 1 will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the vehicle display device 1.

  In step S01, the vehicle information acquisition unit 10 acquires the internal state of the vehicle 2 and outputs it to the control unit 50 as vehicle information.

  In step S02, the control unit 50 constantly updates the provided information from the vehicle information acquired in the previous step.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of display contents of the head-up display. In FIG. 6, the constantly provided information is displayed in a first display area 60, which is a predetermined area. In FIG. 6, information related to the vehicle speed and direction indication (blinker) is displayed in the first display area 60. In this step, the control unit 50 outputs to the first image output unit 30 an image signal for updating the display corresponding to the constantly provided information in the first display area 60. In addition, when the area | region in the 1st display area 60 cannot fully be secured with respect to the kind of always provided information, you may display a some alarm on behalf of one icon.

  In step S03, the control unit 50 determines whether or not the first warning information is included in the acquired vehicle information. When the first warning information is included (step S03, Yes branch), the information is provided to the driver by the first display mode (step S04). Since the first warning information is information with extremely high urgency and importance, a predetermined icon is directly displayed on the second display area 61.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of display contents of the head-up display. 7 and 8, the first warning information is a warning when an abnormality is detected in the brake system. In the first display mode, an icon 70 is displayed in the second display area 61 as shown in FIG. Here, since the second display area 61 is an area arranged very close to the driver's visual field (or overlapping the visual field), the icon 70 displayed in the second display area 61 is immediately driven. Recognized by the person. Alternatively, messages such as “abnormal brake system” and “please stop immediately” can be displayed near the icon 70. As a result, the driver can grasp the contents of the icon 70 and the action to be dealt with.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of display contents of the head-up display. As another example of the first display mode, the icon 71 may be displayed in the first display area 60 for a predetermined period or in a blinking manner, and then may be changed to the display shown in FIG. In this case, the driver does not feel uncomfortable with the sudden display of the icon 70.

  As described above, when the first warning information is detected, by adopting the first display mode, it is possible to reliably transmit information of high urgency and importance to the driver. After step S04 ends, the process returns to step S01 and continues.

  In step S05, the control unit 50 determines whether or not the second warning information is included in the acquired vehicle information. When the second warning information is included (step S05, Yes branch), the information is provided to the driver by the second display mode (step S06).

  In the first display mode described above, the icon 70 is displayed in the second display area 61 without the driver's operation. Although this is insignificant due to the nature of the first warning information, it is not based on the driver's intention and the icon is displayed in a place close to his / her field of view. there is a possibility. Therefore, in the second display mode in which the second warning information is displayed, two-stage information is provided to the driver.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of display contents of the head-up display. In FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, it is assumed that a warning when fuel is insufficient is given as the second warning information. The control unit 50 that has acquired the second warning information first displays an icon 72 in the first display area 60. At that time, the control unit 50 preferably draws the driver's attention by blinking the icon 72 and displaying it. The driver in contact with the display in FIG. 9 performs a predetermined operation (described in the vehicle instruction manual) on the operation unit 20. For the operation at this time, it is possible to assume that the finger is slid upward on the touch pad (the direction from the first display area 60 toward the second display area 61).

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of display contents of the head-up display. The control unit 50 that has detected the driver's operation via the operation unit 20 displays an icon 73 in the second display area 61. In this case, the icon 72 in the first display area 60 may be deleted, or the display may be continued as it is (in FIG. 10, the icon 72 is deleted). In addition, the icon 73 displayed in the second display area 61 may be changed to a design that allows the contents to be grasped more intuitively. That is, the icon 72 displayed in the first display area 60 can be kept simple, and the icon 73 displayed in the second display area 61 can be designed to be easily understood by everyone. Furthermore, as in the first display mode, messages such as “fuel is insufficient” and “please replenish fuel” can be displayed in the second display area 61.

  As described above, in the second display mode, the icon display position is switched from the first display area 60 to the second display area 61 based on the driver's intention. Since the driver displays the icon 73 in the second display area 61 by his / her own intention, such a display does not feel sparse. After step S06 ends, the process returns to step S01 and continues.

  In step S07, the control unit 50 determines whether or not third warning information is included in the acquired vehicle information. If the third warning information is included, information is provided to the driver by the third display mode (step S08). The third warning information is information that is desired to be transmitted to the driver, but the degree of urgency and importance are not high as compared with the first warning information and the second warning information. Therefore, in the third display mode, an icon or the like corresponding to the third warning information is always lit in the first display area 60 or blinked for display.

  In the first and second display modes described above, when the icon 71 or 73 is displayed in the second display area 61, no special consideration is given to the visual field of the driver. This is because the second display area 61 itself is a display area close to the driver's field of view, so that if the icon or the like is displayed in the second display area 61, the driver can surely recognize the display. However, the degree of recognition can be further increased by considering the driver's field of view. That is, the display position of the icon 73 or the like is determined in consideration of the driver's field of view.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of display contents of the head-up display. As shown in FIG. 11, the visual field of the driver is assumed in advance, and an icon 73 or the like is displayed at a position close to the visual field. Alternatively, the driver's line of sight may be detected, and an icon 73 or the like may be displayed in the vicinity of the intersection of the line of sight and the windshield 3. Such a response allows the driver to recognize important information even more reliably.

  Furthermore, various correspondences can be taken between the display of the head-up display and the operation unit 20. For example, after recognizing the icon 73 displayed in the second display area 61, the driver moves his finger on the touch pad downward (in the direction from the second display area 61 toward the first display area 60). When it is slid, the icon 73 can be deleted or moved to the first display area 61. As a result, the driver can ensure a wider field of view.

[Modification]
In the vehicle display device 1 according to the present embodiment, the case where the first display area 60 and the second display area 61 are provided in the head-up display has been described. However, the display device that provides information to the driver is not limited to the head-up display. For example, the same operation can be performed by regarding the combination meter as the first display area 60 and the navigation display as the second display area 61. At that time, the display device can be switched according to the operation detected by the operation unit 20. More specifically, more detailed information can be displayed on the navigation display by operating the operation unit 20 when a part of the combination meter is blinking.

  Alternatively, the first display area 60 may be a combination meter (or a part thereof), and the second display area 61 may be realized by a head-up display. Furthermore, the first display area 60 and the second display area 61 can be integrated. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of display contents of the head-up display. As shown in FIG. 12, a part of the second display area 61 may be used as the first display area 60.

  It should be noted that each function of the vehicle display device 1 can be realized by hardware by mounting circuit components that are hardware components such as LSI (Large Scale Integration) incorporating a program. As another example, a program that provides the function may be stored in a storage device, loaded into the main storage unit, and executed by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to be realized in software.

  As described above, the vehicular display device 1 according to the present embodiment classifies information to be provided to the driver according to its property. Furthermore, the display mode of the contents is switched for each classified information. At that time, information is displayed on the first display area 60 and the second display area 61, which have different information transmission power or alerting power for the driver, and depending on the urgency and importance of the acquired vehicle information, The display mode is changed as appropriate. That is, information that should always be displayed during operation is classified into constantly provided information and displayed in the first display area 60. Moreover, information with a high degree of urgency and importance is displayed in a manner that the driver can reliably recognize. Furthermore, the display position of the information of somewhat low urgency and importance is changed from the first display area 60 to the second display area 61 based on the driver's intention. As described above, necessary information can be reliably transmitted to the driver by appropriately using display areas having different information transmission powers (attracting powers). At the same time, the limited display area of the head-up display can be used efficiently.
