To. And it returns to step S10 of FIG.
The fourth predetermined time t4 to the ninth predetermined time t9, that is, the display time of the rear image may be set to be the same or different.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the display device 14 that displays the rear image is provided in the sunshade 15 at the upper part of the front window 3, so that a reduction in visibility in front of the vehicle due to the installation of the display device 14 is suppressed. At the same time, the movement of the line of sight from the front of the vehicle can be suppressed when the vehicle is traveling. Moreover, it becomes difficult to receive the influence of sunlight, and the visibility of the display device 14 can be improved.
In this embodiment, a central rear view camera 10 that captures the rear of the vehicle, a right rear view camera 11 that captures the right rear of the vehicle, and a left rear view camera 12 that captures the left rear of the vehicle are provided. Since the captured image is displayed by the display device 14 including the central rear display unit 20, the right rear display unit 21, and the left rear display unit 22 provided in front, the movement of the line of sight is suppressed in the rear, right rear, and left rear of the vehicle. Each can be confirmed above.

Further, in the present embodiment, dedicated display sections are provided for the rear image, the right rear image, and the left rear image, respectively, and these images can be displayed simultaneously.
Then, the orientation of the driver M's head is determined, and the display method is changed according to the orientation of the head. When facing the upper right, the right rear image is displayed and the left rear image is not displayed. Further, when facing the upper left, the left rear image is displayed, and the right rear image is not displayed. For example, when it is directed to other than the upper right and upper left like the upper center, the center rear image is displayed, and the right rear image and the left rear image are not displayed. In this way, by displaying necessary images according to the direction that the driver M wants to check and not displaying unnecessary images, it is possible to suppress unnecessary information from entering the driver M's field of view and It is possible to suppress the driver M's attention from being distracted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the required movement time t of the driver M's head is measured, and the display method is changed based on the required movement time. When the time required for moving the head t is shorter than the second predetermined time t2, that is, when the head is quickly moved, the center rear image is displayed together with the rear image in the facing direction. Thereby, when it is desired to quickly confirm the rear, the center rear image is also displayed and it is easy to confirm the entire rear. On the other hand, when the head movement time is equal to or longer than the second predetermined time t2, that is, when the head is slowly moved, the rear image in the direction is displayed without displaying the center rear image. As a result, there is no need to quickly check the rear, and when looking at the right rear or left rear of the vehicle, the center rear image is not displayed, and only the direction facing is displayed to suppress the amount of information in the rear image. Only the rear image necessary for the driver M can be displayed.

It should be noted that when the required movement time t of the driver M is less than the first predetermined time t1, or when the required movement time t of the driver M is equal to or longer than the third predetermined time t3, driving is performed. Since it is determined that the person M does not consciously turn his head to confirm the back, and the display device 14 does not display the back image, the display of an unnecessary back image can be suppressed.
When the shift position is reverse, that is, when trying to reverse the vehicle, all three images of the center rear image, the right rear image, and the left rear image are displayed. Thus, it is possible to improve the rear visibility at the time of reverse traveling and improve the safety.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the driver M's head moves and various rear images are displayed on the display device 14, various predetermined times t4 to t4 even when the head direction of the driver M returns to the front front. Since the display is maintained until t9 elapses, for example, the display is maintained even if the driver M does not keep gazing at the display device 14, and the display device 14 is prevented from frequently switching the display of the rear image. This is suitable for repeatedly confirming the direction in a short time.

  The description of the embodiment is finished as above, but the aspect of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the center rear image is always displayed regardless of the direction of the head of the driver M when the system start switch 25 is turned on, and when facing the upper right, the right rear image is displayed together with the center rear image, while the upper left Control may be performed so that the left rear image is always displayed together with the center rear image when facing the direction. In this way, when the center rear image is always displayed, it is suitable for frequently confirming the rear image, for example, when trying to change the lane.

  Further, the center rear image is displayed when the system activation switch 25 is turned on, and when the driver M's head is directed to a position other than the upper right or upper left, the center rear image is displayed, and then the above-described embodiment. As described above, when the time required for moving the head of the driver M is less than the second predetermined time t2 when facing the upper right or upper left, the rear image display and the center rear in the facing direction are performed. On the other hand, when the time required for moving the head in the direction t is equal to or longer than the second predetermined time t2, only the direction in which the head is directed may be displayed.

  Further, a display permission switch 31 (operation unit) may be provided in the vicinity of the driver's seat 6, and the display switching may be performed by adding the display permission switch 31 together with the movement determination of the direction of the driver M's head. For example, the display permission switch 31 is a momentary switch, and the display device 14 performs display only when the driver M's head is directed to the upper right, upper left, or upper center at the same time as the display permission switch 31 is operated. It may be controlled to. In this way, when the driver M does not intend to confirm the rear and moves his / her head, the display of the rear image can be suppressed and unnecessary rear image display can be further suppressed.

In addition, a central rear image display switching switch may be provided for switching whether the central rear image is always displayed when the system activation switch 25 is turned on or is displayed when facing the upper center.
Moreover, you may change suitably about the mounting position of various cameras 10-13. For the in-vehicle camera 13, instead of detecting the direction of the driver M's head, the direction of the driver's line of sight may be detected and used for image display switching determination.

  The present invention can be widely applied to various driving vehicles.
