  A plurality of input units such as the touch panel 21 and the steering switch 22 each output information representing the selected option to the control device 50 when the option is selected by the occupant. Hereinafter, the option selected by the passenger is also referred to as an input option.

  Returning to FIG. The control execution unit 30 may include one or a plurality of in-vehicle devices that operate according to an instruction output from the control device 50 and previously associated with an option selected by the occupant. The in-vehicle device represents a device mounted on the vehicle. The control execution unit 30 may include, for example, a speaker 31 that outputs sound, a microphone 32 that receives sound, and the like as in-vehicle devices.

  Further, the control execution unit 30 may include one or a plurality of ECUs as in-vehicle devices. ECU is an abbreviation for “Electronic Control Unit”. The ECU is configured around a known microcomputer having a CPU and a semiconductor memory such as a RAM, a ROM, and a flash memory. The control execution unit 30 may include, for example, a navigation ECU 33, an air conditioner ECU 34, an audio ECU 35, and the like as in-vehicle devices.

  The navigation ECU 33 represents an ECU for realizing a known navigation function such as setting a destination or a route to the destination. The air conditioner ECU 34 represents an ECU for realizing a known air conditioner function such as setting the operating state of the air conditioner such as temperature and air volume. The audio ECU 35 represents an ECU for realizing a well-known audio function, for example, causing the speaker 31 to output sound or sound and acquiring sound input from a microphone.

Note that the in-vehicle device included in the control execution unit 30 may be a system that includes one or a plurality of ECUs and one or a plurality of devices and realizes a predetermined function.
The control device 50 is configured around a well-known microcomputer having a CPU 51 and a semiconductor memory (hereinafter, memory 52) such as a RAM, a ROM, and a flash memory. Various functions of the control device 50 are realized by the CPU 51 executing a program stored in a non-transitional physical recording medium. In this example, the memory 52 corresponds to a non-transitional tangible recording medium that stores a program. Also, by executing this program, a method corresponding to the program is executed. The number of microcomputers constituting the control device 50 may be one or more.

  The CPU 51 implements various functions such as image display by executing a program such as display processing described later. The method of realizing the function of the control device 50 is not limited to software, and some or all of the elements may be realized using hardware that combines a logic circuit, an analog circuit, and the like. For example, when the above function is realized by an electronic circuit that is hardware, the electronic circuit may be realized by a digital circuit including a large number of logic circuits, an analog circuit, or a combination thereof.

[processing]
Next, display processing executed by the CPU 51 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The CPU 51 repeatedly executes this display process while power is supplied to the CPU 51. For example, the CPU 51 starts the display process when a selection operation is input from any one of a plurality of input units such as the touch panel 21 and the steering switch 22. In addition, when the subject is abbreviate | omitted in the following description, CPU51 is made into a subject.

  In S100, the CPU 51 acquires input options. The input option represents an option selected by the occupant using an input unit such as the touch panel 21 or the steering switch 22. Here, the options represent one or more options included in an image displayed on a display unit such as the liquid crystal display 11 or the HUD 12.

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that a “destination input screen” for setting a destination for realizing a navigation function is displayed on the liquid crystal display 11. It is assumed that the “destination input screen” displays images representing a plurality of options such as characters and “decision” and “correction”. It is assumed that the occupant is in the middle of setting the destination in order to realize the navigation function and has already selected an option so as to form a character string such as “Toukiyo”.

  Here, it is assumed that the occupant selects one option “ta” from among a plurality of options displayed on the “destination input screen”. In this case, the CPU 51 acquires the option “ta” as an input option.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that a “menu list” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 11. In the “menu list”, images representing a plurality of options such as “car navigation”, “audio”, “air conditioner”, and the like are displayed. Here, it is assumed that the passenger selects one option “audio” from among a plurality of options displayed in the “menu list”. In this case, the CPU 51 acquires the option “audio” as an input option.

  Next, in S110, based on the device correspondence information, the CPU 51 sends an instruction previously associated with the input option (hereinafter referred to as a “corresponding instruction”) to a device previously associated with the input option (hereinafter referred to as a “compatible device”). Output.

The device referred to here represents an in-vehicle device included in the control execution unit 30. The instruction here refers to an instruction for causing the in-vehicle device to realize a function associated with input options in advance.
The device correspondence information is recorded in the memory 52 in advance. The device correspondence information represents information indicating a correspondence relationship between an option, a correspondence instruction, a corresponding device, and a corresponding image described later for each option. The CPU 51 acquires device correspondence information from the memory 52, and specifies a correspondence instruction and a corresponding device associated with the input option based on the device correspondence information and the input option.

  Specifically, for example, while the destination setting is being performed as described above, in the device correspondence information, an instruction indicating that nothing is executed is associated with the option representing the character “TA” as the correspondence instruction. It is also possible that no device is associated with the corresponding device. In this case, the CPU 51 operates such that no corresponding instruction is output to any device. In other words, while the destination setting is being performed, even if the option “ta” is selected, some operation is not performed by any corresponding device.

  Further, for example, in the device correspondence information, the option “audio” may be associated with an instruction to output sound from the speaker 31 as a correspondence instruction, and the speaker 31 may be associated with the corresponding device. In this case, the CPU 51 operates to output an instruction for causing the speaker 31 to output sound. As a result, when the option “audio” is selected in the “menu list”, sound is output from the speaker 31.

Subsequently, in S120, the CPU 51 acquires a corresponding image. The corresponding image represents an image corresponding to the option selected by the vehicle occupant.
As described above, in the device correspondence information recorded in the memory 52, the correspondence relationship between the option, the correspondence instruction, the corresponding device, and the corresponding image is shown for each option. The CPU 51 identifies the corresponding image based on the device correspondence information and the input options.

  For example, in the device correspondence information, the option “TA” input subsequent to the above-mentioned “Tokyo” indicates an image including a plurality of options 112, arrow buttons 111, and a gauge 113, as shown in FIG. The “destination candidate list” may be associated in advance as a corresponding image. Thus, when the option “ta” is selected while the destination is being set, the “destination candidate list” shown in FIG. 3 is acquired as a corresponding image.

  Also, for example, in the device correspondence information, although the above-mentioned option “audio” is not illustrated, an image including a message “audio in operation” and an option “audio off” is associated as a corresponding image. Also good. Thus, when the option “audio” is selected in the “menu list”, the image is acquired as a corresponding image.

  Note that the option “audio off” may be associated with an instruction to stop audio as a corresponding instruction in the device correspondence information. The corresponding image may include an image that does not represent an option.

  Particularly in the present embodiment, the CPU 51 displays an image with a smaller amount of information than the liquid crystal display 11 on the HUD 12 as the in-field display unit among the plurality of display units such as the liquid crystal display 11 and the HUD 12.

  The amount of information here refers to the amount of information displayed on the display unit. In addition, the displayed information may include characters such as hiragana and alphabets and graphics such as options and operation buttons abstracted as marks.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, in the device correspondence information described above, the correspondence relationship between options, correspondence instructions, compatible devices, and corresponding images for each display unit is shown for each option. The CPU 51 specifies a corresponding image for each display unit based on such device correspondence information and input options.

  For example, in the above-mentioned “destination candidate list”, in the device correspondence information, the liquid crystal display 11 is associated with correspondence images including all images of the plurality of options 112 as shown in FIG. It was. On the other hand, in the HUD 12, as shown in FIG. 4, a corresponding image including only an image of a part of the options 122 among the plurality of options 112 displayed on the liquid crystal display 11 may be associated. Further, an image in which the arrow button 111 included in the corresponding image of the liquid crystal display 11 is omitted may be associated with the HUD 12 as a corresponding image.

  In this way, the HUD 12 serving as the in-field display unit is associated with an image represented by a small amount of information, in other words, an image that can be recognized at a glance by the driver as a corresponding image.

  As described above, only a part of a plurality of options is displayed as an image, or a plurality of options are represented by a mark such as a predetermined picture or pattern instead of characters. It can be included in displaying an image.

  Next, in S150, the CPU 51 determines whether or not a predetermined stop condition is satisfied. The stop condition here means that an operation for selecting an option is input from an input unit located outside the field of view among the plurality of input units, and the vehicle is running. The stop condition is recorded in the memory 52 in advance.

  Here, the portion other than the in-view portion represents an out-of-view range of the driver who sits in the driver's seat 61 and looks at the front of the vehicle. Here, traveling means that the vehicle speed acquired from a vehicle speed sensor (not shown) is not zero. Here, “0” is not limited to 0 in a strict sense, and may not be strictly 0 as long as the same effect as described above is obtained.

  The CPU 51 determines that the stop condition is satisfied when the input option is acquired from the touch panel 21 in S100 and the vehicle speed acquired from the vehicle speed sensor (not shown) is not zero. The CPU 51 shifts the process to S160 when the cancel condition is not satisfied, and shifts the process to S170 when the cancel condition is satisfied.

  In S160, the CPU 51 sets all the display units of the plurality of display units as output display units. Specifically, both the liquid crystal display 11 and the HUD 12 are set as output display units. Then, the CPU 51 shifts the process to S190.

  In S170, the CPU 51 sets a display unit other than the in-field display unit among the plurality of display units as an output display unit. Specifically, among the plurality of display units such as the liquid crystal display 11 and the HUD 12, the liquid crystal display 11 indicating the remaining display unit excluding the HUD 12 as the in-field display unit is set as the output display unit. Then, the CPU 51 shifts the process to S190.

In S190, the CPU 51 displays the corresponding image on the display unit set as the output display unit. Then, the CPU 51 ends this display process.
Thereby, when the vehicle is stopped and when the vehicle is running and a selection operation is performed by the driver, the corresponding image is displayed on all the display units mounted on the in-vehicle system 1. On the other hand, when the vehicle is running and a selection operation is performed by an occupant other than the driver, the corresponding image is displayed on the other display units excluding the in-view display unit among the display units mounted on the in-vehicle system 1. Only displayed.

[Operation]
Next, an example of the operation of the in-vehicle system 1 including the control device 50 that executes the display process will be described using the control flow shown in FIG. FIG. 8 shows a control flow when the vehicle is stopped.

First, in S200, it is assumed that the touch panel 21 receives a selection operation from an occupant.
In S <b> 205, the touch panel 21 outputs information representing input options to the control device 50.

In S210, the control device 50 outputs a corresponding command corresponding to the input option to the corresponding device.
In S215, the control device 50 outputs the corresponding image corresponding to the input option to all the display units mounted on the in-vehicle system 1, that is, the liquid crystal display 11 and the HUD 12.

In S220, the liquid crystal display 11 and the HUD 12 each display a corresponding image.
Next, in S225, it is assumed that the steering switch 22 receives a selection operation from the occupant.

In S230, the steering switch 22 outputs information representing the input options to the control device 50.
In S235, the control device 50 outputs a corresponding command corresponding to the input option to the corresponding device.

  In S240, the control device 50 outputs a corresponding image corresponding to the input option to all display units mounted on the in-vehicle system 1. That is, the corresponding image is output to the liquid crystal display 11 and the HUD 12.

In S245, the liquid crystal display 11 and the HUD 12 each display a corresponding image.
As described above, when the vehicle is stopped, the corresponding image corresponding to the input option is displayed on all the display units mounted on the in-vehicle system 1 regardless of which input unit performs the selection operation. Is displayed.

  FIG. 9 shows a control flow when the vehicle is running. In this case, when the touch panel 21 receives a selection operation from the occupant in S200, the control device 50 outputs a corresponding image only to the liquid crystal display 11 without outputting a corresponding image to the HUD 12 in S215. Different from 8. Also, in S220, the HUD 12 does not display the corresponding image, and only the liquid crystal display 11 displays the corresponding image, which is different from FIG.

  As described above, the display units other than the in-field display unit operate so that the displayed corresponding image is always switched every time the selection operation is performed. On the other hand, the in-view display unit operates so that the displayed image is not switched because the corresponding image is not displayed when the stop condition is satisfied.

[effect]
According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The control device 50 is a device mounted on the vehicle. The control device 50 displays an image including one or more options selected by a vehicle occupant on a plurality of preset display units. The control device 50 outputs an instruction previously associated with the option selected by the occupant among the options included in the image displayed on the display unit to the device previously associated with each option.

  According to this, since the image including the option is displayed on the plurality of display units, the driver recognizes the option by viewing the image displayed on the display unit at a more easily viewable position among the plurality of display units. can do. As a result, the driver can be made to recognize the options safely.

  (2) The control device 50 is a part in the field of view that indicates a part located around the driver seat 61 in the vehicle and located in the field of view of the driver looking forward of the vehicle among the plurality of display units. An image is displayed on at least one in-view display unit arranged.

According to this, since the image is displayed on the display unit arranged in the field of view of the driver looking in front of the vehicle, the driver can be made to recognize the option more safely.
For example, while stopping at a red light, the driver sets the destination in the navigation function, and inputs the option “ta” to generate a character string for searching for the destination as shown in FIG. By the way, the signal changes from red to blue. In this case, since the corresponding image of the option “ta” is displayed on both the liquid crystal display 11 and the HUD 12, the driver is traveling while looking at the image displayed on the HUD 12 arranged in the field of view. Even if there is, it can recognize the option safely.

(3) The control device 50 causes the in-view display unit to display an image with a smaller amount of information than the liquid crystal display 11 as another display unit other than the in-view display unit among the plurality of display units.
The image represented by a small amount of information on the HUD 12 as the in-view display unit is an image that can be recognized at a glance by the driver. As a result, the driver can recognize the image displayed on the in-view display unit at a glance, and thus the time for the driver to view the in-view display unit can be reduced. As a result, the driver can recognize the options safely.

  (4) The control device 50 selects an option that is arranged at a site in the visual field from among a plurality of input units for inputting an operation for selecting an option from options displayed as images on a plurality of display units. The option selected by the occupant is acquired from at least one in-field input unit that accepts an operation to be performed.

According to this, since the selection operation is received by the input unit arranged in the field of view of the driver looking in front of the vehicle, the driver can select the option more safely.
For example, as described above, it is assumed that the signal changes from red to blue when the option “ta” is input to generate a character string for searching for a destination. In this case, the driver continues the selection operation of selecting a desired destination from the destination candidate list by using the steering switch 22 disposed in the field of view while viewing the image including the options displayed on the HUD 12. As a result, destination setting can be completed more safely.

  (5) The control device 50 acquires a corresponding image representing an image corresponding to the option selected by the vehicle occupant. The control device 50 determines whether or not an operation for selecting an option is input from an input unit located outside the field of view of the plurality of input units, and a stop condition indicating that the vehicle is running is satisfied. Judging. When it is determined that the cancellation condition is satisfied, the cancellation display unit displays the corresponding image on the other display units other than the in-field display unit among the plurality of display units.

For example, if the corresponding images displayed on the in-view display unit are sequentially switched by a selection operation by a passenger other than the driver, the driver may not be able to concentrate on driving.
According to this embodiment, even if a selection operation other than the driver is performed while the vehicle is traveling, the corresponding image is not displayed on the display unit within the field of view, so the image of the display unit that enters the driver's field of view while traveling is displayed. There is no sequential change by operations other than the driver. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the driver from concentrating on driving while traveling.

  In the above embodiment, the control device 50 corresponds to an example of a selection acquisition unit, an instruction output unit, a corresponding image acquisition unit, a determination unit, an image output unit, and a stop display unit. In addition, the liquid crystal display 11 and the HUD 12 correspond to an example of a plurality of display units, the HUD 12 corresponds to an example of an in-field display unit, and the liquid crystal display 11 corresponds to an example of another display unit. The touch panel 21 and the steering switch 22 correspond to an example of a plurality of input units, and the steering switch 22 corresponds to an example of an in-field input unit. In addition, each in-vehicle device provided in the control execution unit 30 corresponds to an example of a device associated in advance for each option.

  Further, S100 corresponds to an example of processing as a selection acquisition unit, S110 corresponds to an example of processing as an instruction output unit, S120 corresponds to an example of processing as a corresponding image acquisition unit, and S150 as a determination unit. S190 corresponds to an example of processing as an image output unit and a stop display unit.
