Description

  The present invention relates to a control system or the like that performs control to switch and display screens of different formats for displaying information on the current situation.

  For example, in a control system that reports an approach to a notification target such as a vehicle speed measurement device, the position information of the notification target is stored and held, and the position of the vehicle detected by GPS and the position of the notification target are predetermined approaches. There is one that issues an alarm when it becomes related (for example, Patent Document 1 etc.).

  In the case of the control system of PTL 1, for example, when the current position of the detection target object to be notified and the vehicle reaches a set distance (for example, 1 km, 500 m, etc.) (○○ outputs an alarm by voice such as information (a loop coil etc. specifying the target) or outputs and displays information related to the display as text.

  These control systems, for example, by notifying the driver of the approach to the vehicle speed measurement device, contribute to preventing the driver from unintentionally overspeeding. In particular, since the vehicle speed measuring device is generally installed in a place where the speed is likely to be exceeded in many cases, the driver can be alerted to the overspeed at the dangerous place. .

  In such a control system, a map screen around the current position is displayed, the acceleration applied to the vehicle is displayed, and the clock is displayed when the vehicle speed measuring device or the like is not approaching the notification target. , Has a function to display the current situation (patent documents 2 and 3).

  The user is set to display a desired screen from among screens of different formats for displaying information on the current situation, and the set screen is displayed. However, in recent years, the number of types of sensors to be mounted has increased, and data acquired at the vehicle side is acquired from a connector connected to the vehicle to have various functions such as displaying various vehicle states. Screens of different formats are provided. Therefore, for example, a function of performing control to switch and display screens of these many different formats in a predetermined order at a predetermined time interval can be considered.

However, when screens of a plurality of different formats are switched and displayed in a predetermined order at a predetermined time interval, a screen of a format unnecessary for the user may be displayed and the screen desired by the user may not be displayed when desired. Problem of becoming Further, in such a case, the user is kept waiting until the desired screen is displayed.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a control system or the like capable of displaying a screen of a format required for the user.

  In order to achieve the object described above, the control system according to the present invention (1) a control system that performs control to switch and display screens of different formats for displaying information on the current situation in a predetermined order at predetermined time intervals. In the above configuration, there is provided a selection function that allows the user to select the screen of the format to be the target of the switching display, and the screen of the format selected by the selecting function is the target of the switching display.

  In this way, it is possible to display a screen of a format required for the user. For example, if a screen of a format unnecessary for the user is not selected as a screen of a format targeted for switching display, a screen of a format unnecessary for the user will not be displayed. As a result, when the screen desired by the user is desired, the screen with the desired format is likely to be displayed. Moreover, it also becomes possible to shorten the time until it is switched and displayed on the desired screen.

  The information on the current situation includes, for example, the current time, the current date, the current position, the current situation of the person viewing the display of the system, the current state of the place where the display unit displayed by the control system is installed. It is good to display information about the situation etc.

The current status may be, for example, the status of this moment right now, but it may also be a status earlier than the current status to some extent. That is, for example, it may be a past situation close to the present to the extent that the user is aware of the current situation.
The predetermined order may be, for example, a predetermined fixed order, an order set by the user, or a random order.

  The predetermined time interval may be, for example, a predetermined fixed time interval such as a one-minute interval, or may be a variable time interval according to the status of the acquired information. The predetermined time interval may be a time interval set by the user. Also, for example, the time from the display of the screen of the first format to the display of the screen of the second format and the display of the screen of the second format to the display of the screen of the third format The time until switching may be the same time or may be different times.

  As the switching display, for example, the screen area may be rewritten to another screen area. The screen may be, for example, the entire display area of the display means, but may be a part of the display area of the display means. At the time of rewriting, for example, a predetermined switching effect display such as scrolling in another screen area while gradually scrolling out the screen area, or fading in or fading out is similarly performed. May be

(2) It is preferable that a plurality of different pieces of information acquired regarding the mobile body be provided as the information regarding the current situation, and a plurality of screens of the format for simultaneously displaying the plurality of different pieces of information be provided as the screen of the different format. In this way, for example, the different pieces of information acquired regarding the mobile object fluctuate with the movement of the mobile object, and these fluctuations can be grasped simultaneously by looking at the screen of the format simultaneously displaying the plurality of different information items. Furthermore, since a plurality of screens having a format for simultaneously displaying such a plurality of different information is provided and control for switching display at a predetermined time interval in a predetermined order is performed, for example, Information in a short time.

  The moving body may be, for example, a person or a vehicle. If it is a person, it is good to sense and acquire physiological phenomena such as heart beat and temperature of the person, or to sense and acquire the position of the person and the surrounding conditions. In the case of a vehicle, for example, information generated by sensing by the vehicle itself may be acquired, or may be obtained from a GPS, an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, etc. .

(3) In the default state, it is preferable that the selection function sets the screens of all the selectable formats as targets of the switching display and causes the user to select the screens of the formats not to be the targets of the switching display. In this way, in the default state, screens of all selectable formats are switched and displayed in a predetermined order at predetermined time intervals. This allows the user to know the screens of all formats selectable in the control system. Then, for example, after using for a while in this state, it is possible to switch and display only the screen of the format necessary for oneself by selecting the screen of the format unnecessary for oneself as the screen of the format not targeted for switching display. .

(4) The selection function may be configured to display and select information representing a screen of each format, and display information related to the information to be displayed together with the screen of the format when the switching display is performed. In this way, it is possible to easily determine which screen should be selected at the time of executing the selection function by looking at the display of the information representing the screen of each format, and in the case where the screen is switched and displayed. You can check the information that is displayed on the screen to confirm that it is set properly.

  The information representing the screen of each format may be, for example, a character string of a name given to each screen, a thumbnail screen in which each screen is reduced in size, an illustration or an icon indicating the contents of each screen, or the like.

(5) The display in the case of the switching display of the information representing the screen of the format is performed in the screen of the format, and is erased when a predetermined time has elapsed after switching, and the predetermined time until the erasure is It is preferable that the time interval between the display of the screen of the format and the screen of another format be shorter than a predetermined time. In this way, the information representing the screen of the format is erased for a predetermined time within the screen of the format. After that, the screen of the format is displayed in a state where the information representing the screen of the format is not displayed, and then the screen is switched to a screen of another format. Therefore, for example, when the screen is switched, it can be grasped by the information representing the screen of the format what kind of information the screen of the format is displayed on, and the screen of the format can be further grasped. Since the information representing the symbol is deleted, it is possible to confirm the information on the current situation without being disturbed by the display of the information representing the screen of the format.

(6) As at least one of the selectable screens of the format, control is performed to switch and display a predetermined display area in the screen of the format at predetermined time intervals, and the screen of the format is changed to a screen of another format The predetermined time interval of the switching display may be configured to be longer than the predetermined time interval of the switching display of the predetermined display area in the screen of the format. In this way, switching display of the predetermined display area in the screen of the format is performed at a time interval shorter than the time interval of switching to the screen of another format after the screen of the format is displayed. Therefore, switching to a screen of another format is prevented without switching display of a predetermined display area in the screen of the format. Therefore, it is possible to visually recognize information on a large number of current situations in a short time by switching display of a predetermined display area in the screen of the format and switching display of the screen itself of the format.

(7) As at least one of the selectable screens of the format, a screen of a format capable of grasping the current situation by comparing the current situation and the past situation is provided, and the other format is displayed from the screen of the format The predetermined time interval of the switching display on the screen may be a time interval in which the current situation can be grasped by comparing the current situation and the past situation. In this way, it is possible to visually compare the current situation with the past situation before the screen of the currently displayed format is switched to a screen of another format. Note that, as a format that enables the current situation to be grasped by comparing the current situation and the past situation, for example, a screen displaying a graph showing the current situation and the past situation together may be displayed.

(8) An event screen display switching function of switching to a screen notifying occurrence of a predetermined event when a predetermined event occurs while executing the function of switching and displaying screens of different formats in a predetermined order at predetermined time intervals It is preferable that the screen having the same format as the screen notifying the occurrence of the event is not provided as a screen of a format that can be selected as a target of the switching display. By doing this, the screen having the same format as the screen notifying the occurrence of an event is not switched and displayed at a predetermined time interval in a predetermined order, so that the user can surely know the occurrence of the event At the same time, the screen switched and displayed at a predetermined time interval in a predetermined order is not erroneously recognized as an event generation screen.
(10) The function as the control system according to any one of (1) to (9) may be configured as a program for realizing a computer.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a control system or the like capable of displaying a screen of a format required for the user.

  Next, a process to be executed according to an event that has occurred while the current information display function is being executed will be described. During execution of the current information display function, processing to realize each function such as GPS alarm function, radar wave alarm function, wireless alarm function etc. is executed according to the event that occurred, and when the processing of the function is completed, the original current information Return to the display function execution process. The priority of each function is set in the order of the radar wave alarm function, the wireless alarm function, and the GPS alarm function from the higher one.

  The GPS alarm function is a process executed with the position information output from the GPS receiver 8 every second as a trigger, and the latitude longitude of the target stored in the database 19 and the current position detected by the GPS receiver 8 The distance between the two is obtained from the latitude and longitude of the above, and when the obtained distance becomes a predetermined approach distance (for example, within 1 km), the speaker 20 outputs a sound of an approach warning indicating that effect. When a screen other than the map screen is displayed as the current information display function (including the OFF screen), a process of outputting a voice in this manner is performed. On the other hand, when the map screen is currently displayed as the information display function, as shown in FIGS. 9 (a) (b) (c) and 10 (a) (b) (c) in addition to the audio output. An alarm window for drawing an image based on a schematic diagram of an approach warning or data of a photograph or the like is superimposed on (on the front of) the map displayed on the map display portion of the map screen to perform animation drawing. That is, FIG. 9A shows a state in which the distance between the both is not within 1 km, and a map is displayed on the map display portion of the map screen, but the alarm window is not displayed. When the distance between the two is within 1 km, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), from the upper left to the lower right of the map display part, gradually the right edge of the alarm window is slightly to the right of the horizontal center of the map display part Display the display brightness brighter while increasing the size of the alarm window. The manner in which the display luminance is gradually made bright is illustrated as a change from FIG. 9 (a) to FIG. 9 (b). The window size is the same display process as the drawing process in the order of FIGS. 11 (a), (b) and (c) described later. As an animation, an object indicating the shape of the target displayed inside the alarm window is rotated, and characters stored in the database 19 for each target such as "WARNING" are displayed in order from the leftmost character to the right on the front surface Perform the process to let it go. On the upper right side of the map display section, the mini radar is displayed superimposed on the map (in front). The mini radar is a circular window with a diameter of about a quarter of the screen horizontal direction, and is displayed at the upper right position of the map display unit. The mini radar displays a triangular vehicle position object at the center of the circle, and draws the position of the target viewed from the current position as a circular object in the circle. The radius of the circle corresponds to a distance of 1 km. In the example of FIG.9 (b) (c), the present position and the position of H system which is a target are displayed. Then, the distance from the current position to the target is displayed in this circle. In Fig. 9 (b) and (c), the distance from the current position to the target is 580 m, 500 m in Fig. 10 (a) and 480 m in Fig. 10 (b). The alarm window is erased (FIG. 10 (c)). Note that, as shown in FIG. 9C, FIG. 10A, and FIG. 10B in order, processing of gradually changing an animation into a photographed image when the distance to the target becomes 500 m or less I do. Also, when the distance between the current position and the target can be regarded as 0, it is judged that it has passed and the alarm window displaying the photographed image is faded out and the alarm window is erased as shown in FIG. 10C. Do the process. The photographed image is actual photographic data obtained by photographing the position of the target.

  Such targets include drowsy driving accident point, radar, H system, LH system, speed limit switching point, control area, inspection area, arresting area, N system, traffic monitoring system, intersection monitoring point, signal neglect suppression system , Police station, accident frequent occurrence area, on-vehicle frequent occurrence area, sudden / continuous curve (high speed way), bifurcation / merging point (high speed way), ETC lane advance guidance (high speed way), service area (high speed way), parking area (Highway), highway oasis (highway), smart interchange (highway), gas station in PA / SA (highway), tunnel (highway), highway radio reception area (highway), prefectural border announcement, road There is a station, view point parking, etc. The type information of these objects and the latitude / longitude indicating the position In association with the schematic diagram or photographic data and audio data on the display unit 5 and the broadcast is stored in the database 19, performs a proximity warning by reference.

  In the radar wave alarm function, the microwave receiver 4 detects a signal corresponding to microwave (radar wave) in a frequency band emitted from a speed measurement device (a mobile radar etc. (hereinafter simply referred to as “radar”)). In this case, the alarm screen is displayed on the display unit 5 and an alarm sound is output from the speaker 20. For example, when microwaves in the frequency band of microwaves emitted by the radar are detected by the microwave receiver 4, the voice data stored in the database 19 is read out and a voice saying “It is a radar. Output. While sound is being output, the alarm lamp 6 is turned on. When a screen other than the map screen is displayed as the current information display function (including the OFF screen), a process of outputting a voice in this manner is performed. On the other hand, when the map screen is currently displayed as the information display function, as shown in FIGS. 11 (a) (b) (c) and 12 (a) (b) (c) in addition to the audio output. An alarm window for drawing an image based on a schematic diagram of radar wave alarm or data of a photograph or the like is superimposed on the map displayed on the map display portion of the map screen (in front of) to draw an animation. That is, FIG. 11 (a) shows a state where no radar wave is received by the microwave receiver 4, and a map is displayed on the map display unit of the map screen but a warning window is not displayed. . When radar waves are received by the microwave receiver 4, as shown in the order of FIGS. 11 (b) and 11 (c), the right end of the alarm window is gradually shifted from the upper left to the lower right of the map display. While increasing the size of the alarm window to a position slightly to the right of the left-right direction center of, the display brightness is displayed brighter. The process of rotating an object indicating the shape of the target displayed in the alarm window as animation and displaying characters stored in the database 19 such as “WARNING” in order from the leftmost character to the right on the front surface I do. After performing this display for a fixed time (for example, 10 seconds), as shown in the order of FIGS. 12 (a), (b) and (c), the process of gradually changing the animation into the image photograph image of this velocity measuring device When the radar wave is not received, the alarm window displaying the image photograph image is faded out as shown in FIGS. 13 (a) (b) (c).

  The wireless alarm function is a function to issue an alarm so as not to hinder the traveling or the like when the wireless receiver 15 receives a wireless radio wave emitted from an emergency vehicle or the like. In the wireless alarm function, control radio, car location radio, digital radio, special radio, police radio, police telephone, police activity radio, wrecker radio, helitele radio, firefighting helitele radio, firefighting radio, ambulance radio, highway radio When a radio such as a guard radio is scanned and the radio is received at the scanned frequency, a schematic view to the effect that the radio corresponding to the frequency stored for each radio type is received in the database 19 is used as an alarm screen While displaying on the display unit 5, audio data stored in the database 19 for each wireless type is read out, and an alarm voice indicating the type of the wireless is output from the speaker 20. For example, when a regulatory radio is received, it outputs an audio like "It is a regulatory radio. Speed caution". While sound is being output, the alarm lamp 6 is turned on. When a screen other than the map screen is displayed as the current information display function (including the OFF screen), a process of outputting a voice in this manner is performed. On the other hand, when the map screen is currently displayed as the information display function, for example, as shown in FIGS. 14 (a), (b) and (c), a display showing a wireless alarm as shown in FIG. The same processing as the radar wave warning function is performed except for the above.

In the auto item setting screen 2/2 of FIG. 16B, a “preset A” button for setting whether or not the preset A screen is to be displayed for switching in the 1st row and the 1st column, 1 row and 2 columns “Preset B” button to set whether to make the preset A screen the target of switching display, and to set whether the preset C screen is the target of switching display in the first row and the third column "Preset C" button, "Positioning information" button to set whether to display positioning information screen as a target of switching display in 1st row and 4th column, target fuel economy screen as switching target in 2nd row and first column The "fuel consumption" button for setting whether or not to be set, and the "OBD data" button for setting whether or not the OBD data screen is to be the target of switching display in the second row and the second column are provided. The button names are displayed on the surface of each of these buttons. The button name of each button displays the characters enclosed in square brackets in the above sentence. For example, in the case of the "clock" button, the "clock" in the brackets is displayed as the button name. Each button is a button of the same size in the shape of a rectangle having a long side in the left-right direction surrounding these characters. A space of a predetermined width is provided between the buttons to prevent erroneous touch.

At the left end of each button, an indicator portion is provided between the upper end and the lower end in the button to indicate an image of a band-like LED lamp which lights green with a width smaller than the button width. This indicator takes on and off states. When a touch to a position of any button on the touch panel of the display unit 5 is detected, the lighting state of the indicator of the touched button is reversed. That is, if the light is in the non-lighting state, the light is in the non-lighting state. If the indicator is on, the screen corresponding to that button is the target of the switching display, and if the indicator is off, the screen corresponding to the button is stored in the database 19 as a setting not to be the target of the switching display. . This storage process is performed when there is a change in the lighting state of the indicator.
When the display of the AUTO screen is selected as shown in FIG. 3 (b) described above when pressing of the "EXIT" button is detected, processing of the AUTO display screen is started and the database as a target of switching display Only the screen stored in 19 is switched every one minute. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the display of the AUTO screen is selected as shown in FIG. 3 (b).

  FIGS. 16 (a) and 16 (b) show an example in which the indicator is lit in all the buttons. This state is the default state described above. In this state, when a touch on the "EXIT" button is detected, all screens are subject to switching display. That is, the clock screen, speed screen, eco drive screen, acceleration screen, tilt screen, tide information screen, graph screen, preset A screen, preset B screen, preset C screen, positioning information screen, fuel efficiency screen, OBD data screen in this order The format screen is switched and displayed every one minute (each screen is displayed for one minute and switched to the next format screen. The same applies to the following). After the OBD data screen is displayed for one minute, the display returns to the clock screen, and the display is switched similarly.

  FIG. 17A shows an example in which the indicator of the “clock” button of the auto item setting screen 1/2 is in the non-lighting state and the indicators of the other buttons are in the lighting state. In the auto item setting screen 2/2, as shown in FIG. 16B, it is assumed that the indicators of all the buttons are lit. In this state, when a touch on the "EXIT" button is detected, all screens except the clock screen are targeted for switching display. That is, the speed screen, eco drive screen, acceleration screen, tilt screen, tide information screen, graph screen, preset A screen, preset B screen, preset C screen, positioning information screen, fuel consumption screen, OBD data screen in this order Is switched every 1 minute. After the OBD data screen is displayed for one minute, the screen returns to the speed screen, and the display is switched similarly. Since the clock is displayed on the upper right of the screen of each format, the user who thinks that it is not necessary to switch is to touch and set each button so as to be in the state of such an indicator. The clock screen can be switched off and displayed.

  FIG. 17 (b) is an example in which the indicators of the "clock" button and the "tide information" button are in the non-lighting state, and the indicators of the other buttons are in the lighting state. In the auto item setting screen 2/2, as shown in FIG. 16B, it is assumed that the indicators of all the buttons are lit. In this state, when a touch on the "EXIT" button is detected, all screens except the clock screen and the tide information screen are targeted for switching display. That is, every one minute of each format screen in the order of speed screen, eco drive screen, acceleration screen, tilt screen, graph screen, preset A screen, preset B screen, preset C screen, positioning information screen, fuel consumption screen, OBD data screen. Switch to. After the OBD data screen is displayed for one minute, the screen returns to the speed screen, and the display is switched similarly. The clock screen and the tide information screen mainly depend only on the date and time, and do not change in real time as the vehicle travels. Therefore, a user who wants to know the real-time current state, which changes as the vehicle travels, touches and sets each button so as to be in the state of such an indicator, the clock screen and the tide information screen Can be switched and not displayed, and only the screen of the format that displays the current state in real time, which changes as the vehicle travels, can be switched and displayed.

  FIG. 17C shows an example in which the indicators of all the seven buttons of the auto item setting screen 1/2 are in the non-lighting state. In the auto item setting screen 2/2, as shown in FIG. 18A, the indicators of the “preset A” button, the “preset B” button, and the “preset C” button are lit, and the “positioning information” button It is assumed that the indicators of the "fuel consumption" button and the "OBD data" button are in the non-lighting state. In this state, when a touch on the "EXIT" button is detected, the display of each format is switched and displayed every one minute in the order of the preset A screen, preset B screen, and preset C screen. After the preset C screen is displayed for one minute, the display returns to the preset A screen, and the same display is switched thereafter. In this way, the user can repeatedly display three types of three preset meters, and can not display a screen of any other format. By reducing the number of screens to be selected in this manner, it is possible to shorten the time required for one repetition of display (in this example, the time required for one repetition of display is 3 minutes). Further, for example, when the meters of these three preset screens are all set to different types of meters, a total of nine types of meters can be checked in three minutes.

  Next, setting processing of each meter displayed on the preset A screen, the preset B screen, and the preset C screen will be described. This setting process is started by screen transition by detection of the following operation. As described above, first, in any screen display state, when it is detected that the setting button of the remote controller 17 or the switch unit 3 is pressed, the setting screen of FIG. 15 is displayed. In this state, when a touch on the “standby” button on the upper left end of the upper row is detected, the standby screen setting screen shown in FIG. 15B is displayed. In this screen, when a touch on any of “Preset A” button, “Preset B” button, and “Preset C” button in the second row is detected, a preset meter setting screen regarding the preset is displayed. Here, an example in which there is a touch on the “preset A” button will be described. The same process is performed when there is a touch on the "preset B" button or the "preset C" button.

  When there is a touch on the "preset A" button, a preset meter setting screen as shown in FIG. 19A is displayed. Similar to the auto item setting screen, the preset meter setting screen has a control button display section provided with a screen title display section "preset A" at the top, an "EXIT" button and a "BACK" button at the bottom in order from left to right , A meter setting button display unit having three meter setting buttons disposed at positions corresponding to the left position meter, the middle position meter, and the right position meter in FIG. 7A between the screen title portion and the control button display portion Equipped with That is, the meter setting button display unit is a left position meter setting button for setting the type of the left position meter disposed at the lower left position, and a middle position meter setting button for setting the type of the middle position meter disposed at the center upper position And a right position meter setting button for setting the type of the right position meter disposed at the lower right position. On each button, a character string indicating the type of meter currently set is displayed. In the default state, for the preset A screen, as shown in FIG. 19A, the left position meter is set as a clock, the middle position meter as a vehicle speed, and the right position meter as an eco-drive. In this state, an example in which the preset A screen is displayed is a display example of FIG. 7A. That is, as the setting of each meter setting button, the left position meter is displayed as a clock, the middle position meter as a vehicle speed, and the right position meter as an eco-drive.

  The default setting for the preset B screen is as follows. The left position meter is a clock, the middle position meter is an acceleration, and the right position meter is a vehicle speed. A display example is as shown in FIG. 7B. The default setting for the preset C screen is as shown in FIG. 7C as a display example with the left position meter as the compass, the middle position meter as the tilt, and the right position meter as tide information.

  A process of changing the type of the middle position meter from the vehicle speed to an acceleration as shown in FIG. 19B in the display state of FIG. 19A will be described. The type of meter is changed in the same process for the left position meter and the right position meter.

  When a touch on the middle position meter setting button is detected, a meter type selection screen shown in FIG. 20A is displayed. The meter type selection screen has a control button display unit having a back button, an empty space, an up arrow button, and a down arrow button on the right side in the vertical direction, and four meter type buttons on the left side in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 20A, the meter type currently set second from the top is displayed first. Since the setting of the middle position meter setting button in FIG. 19A is “vehicle speed”, “vehicle speed” is displayed on the second meter type button from the top, and the meter type button is highlighted to display the current It indicates that it is in the selected state.

  In this state, when a touch on the down arrow button is detected, the display in FIG. 19B is performed. That is, the meter type button displayed second from the top is moved to the top, the meter type button displayed third from the top is moved to the second from the top, and the fourth from the top (first Move the meter type button displayed on the bottom to the third from the top, and display the meter type button newly set in the following order from the top to the fourth (bottom). As a result, in this example, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), the meter type button of the vehicle speed is moved to the top. FIG. 20C shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is detected three more times in this state. FIG. 21A shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is detected three more times from the state of FIG. 20C. FIG. 21 (b) shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is detected three more times from the state of FIG. 21 (a). FIG. 21C shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is detected three more times from the state of FIG. 21B. FIG. 22A shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is detected three more times from the state of FIG. 21C. An example of a display when the touch of the down arrow button is detected three more times from the state of FIG. 22 (a) is FIG. 22 (b). FIG. 22C shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is detected several times more from the state of FIG. The display state of FIG. 22 (c) is the same as the display state of FIG. 20 (a). In this way, by cyclically displaying the meter type button, selectable meter type options are presented.

As shown in FIG. 20A and FIG. 20B, when a touch to the position of the meter type button of acceleration is detected as the meter type button, the meter type of acceleration which is the button touched in the highlight display While moving to the button, the setting of the middle position meter type of preset A of the database 19 is changed to "acceleration" and stored. When a touch on the return button is detected in this state, the display on the middle position meter setting button is changed to this "acceleration" as shown in FIG. 19 (b). When the screen of preset A is displayed with this setting, as shown in FIG. 23, the middle position meter becomes a meter of “acceleration” as shown in FIG.
In this way, the user can set which type of meter should be used for each position on each preset screen.

  Thus, in the case of setting of the AUTO display, when the preset screen is selected as the target of the switching display, the preset screen set by the user can be set as the target of the switching display.

  The radar detector, which is an example of the control system according to the present invention as described above, displays screens of different formats for displaying information on the current situation in a predetermined order as described above at predetermined time intervals such as one minute intervals. It is a control system which performs control which carries out switching display. Then, it has a selection function that allows the user to select the screen of the format to be the target of the switching display, and the screen area of the format selected by the selecting function is the target of the switching display. Therefore, it is possible to display a screen of a format required for the user. As the information on the current situation, for example, the information on the current time, the current date, the current position, the current situation on the vehicle where the display unit displayed by the control system is installed, and the like are displayed. In addition to or in place of these, a screen of a format for acquiring and displaying the current situation of the person who visually recognizes the display of the system, for example, the driver himself may be provided. Note that the current status may be, for example, the status at this moment right now, but in the present embodiment, for example, the position information is output from the GPS receiver 8 every one second, and the maximum is about one second. The range is displaying the situation before now. Since the vehicle information acquired via the OBD2 connector is also acquired at an interval of 0.5 seconds, the previous status is displayed in the range of up to about 1 second. The information regarding the current situation may be a past situation close to the present to the extent that the user recognizes as the current situation according to the type and nature of the information to be displayed.

  As the predetermined order, in the present embodiment, as described above, the order is displayed on the setting screen etc. However, for example, the order may be set by the user instead of such a predetermined fixed order. It may be good or random order.

  In the present embodiment, although the predetermined time interval is a predetermined time interval, such as a one-minute interval, the predetermined time interval may be a variable time interval according to the status of the acquired information. The predetermined time interval may be a time interval set by the user on a setting screen or the like. Also, for example, the time from the display of the screen of the first format to the display of the screen of the second format and the display of the screen of the second format to the display of the screen of the third format The time until switching may be the same time or may be different times.

  The switching display of this embodiment is configured to rewrite the current screen area to the next screen area in the time between the furems. That is, the current screen and the next screen are displayed to be switched at a glance. However, at the time of rewriting, for example, a predetermined switching effect display such as scrolling in another screen area while gradually scrolling out the screen area, or fading in or fading out is similarly performed. You may do so.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of different pieces of information acquired regarding the mobile body are provided as information on the current situation, and a preset A, a preset B, and a preset C simultaneously display a plurality of different pieces of information as screens of different formats. A configuration in which a plurality of triple meter format screens are provided. Therefore, a plurality of different pieces of information acquired regarding the mobile body fluctuates with the movement of the mobile body, and these fluctuations can be grasped simultaneously by looking at a screen of a triple meter format simultaneously displaying a plurality of different information. Furthermore, a plurality of triple meter format screens for simultaneously displaying such different information are provided, and control for switching display at predetermined time intervals in a predetermined order is performed by the display function of the AUTO screen. It is possible to grasp, in a short time, a large number of information that fluctuates with the movement of a mobile body.

  In addition, although it was set as the vehicle in this embodiment as a moving body, it is good also as a person, for example. If it is a person, it is good to sense and acquire physiological phenomena such as heart beat and temperature of the person, or to sense and acquire the position of the person and the surrounding conditions.

  In the auto item setting screen, as shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the indicators of all the buttons are set to be in a lighting state. As described above, in the default state, the selection function targets screens of all selectable formats for switching display, and selects screens of formats not for switching display according to selection by a user's touch. Therefore, in the default state, screens of all selectable formats are switched and displayed in a predetermined order at predetermined time intervals. This allows the user to know the screen of all formats selectable with the present radar detector. Then, for example, after using for a while in this state, as described above, by selecting the screen of the format unnecessary for oneself as the screen of the format not to be the target of switching display, only the screen for the one required for oneself. It can be switched and displayed.

  In the auto item setting screen, as shown in FIG. 16 and the like, characters representing the screen of each format are displayed on the button and selected. Therefore, when switching display, it is preferable to display the character displayed on this button. For example, at the time of switching to the speed screen as shown in FIG. 5A, as shown in FIG. 24, a horizontal strip-like telop area is displayed at the top, and characters on this button are displayed in the telop area. Display the "speed" which is This display is displayed for 3 seconds from the switching time and is erased. In this way, it is easily determined by looking at the display of the information representing the screen of each format (in this example, the telop displayed for a fixed time in the screen switching) which screen should be selected when executing the selection function. In addition to being able to do that, when switched and displayed on the screen, it is possible to check the information representing the screen of the format and to confirm that it is properly set. The information representing the screen of each format may be, for example, a character string of a name given to each screen, a thumbnail screen in which each screen is reduced in size, an illustration or an icon indicating the contents of each screen, or the like. The display in the case of the switching display of the information representing the screen of this format is performed within the screen of that format, and is erased when a predetermined time has elapsed after switching, and the predetermined time until the erasure is 3 seconds It is configured to be shorter than one minute which is a predetermined time from displaying the screen of the format to switching to the screen of another format. In this way, the information representing the screen of the format is erased for a predetermined time within the screen of the format. After that, the screen of the format is displayed in a state where the information representing the screen of the format is not displayed, and then the screen is switched to a screen of another format. Therefore, when the screen is switched, it can be grasped by the information representing the screen of the format what kind of information the screen of the format is displayed, and further, the screen of the format can be displayed with the grasped. Information can be erased and display can be performed in a predetermined format using the entire screen.

  Furthermore, it is preferable to provide a format screen for performing control to switch and display a predetermined display area in the format screen at a predetermined time interval as at least one of the format screens selectable on the auto item setting screen. Then, the predetermined time interval of the switching display from the screen of the format to the screen of the other format is longer than the predetermined time interval of the switching display of the predetermined display area in the screen of the format (in this embodiment, It is preferable to set it as 1 minute as described in. For example, when the tide information meter shown in the right position meter of the preset screen of FIG. 25 is switched to this preset screen as this predetermined display area, the tide closest to the current position as shown in FIG. Display a tide information meter that displays the place name, the age of the current date, and the tide name. Then, when 10 seconds have elapsed, a tide information meter displaying the time and tide level of the first low tide of that day, and the time and tide level of high tide as shown in FIG. 25 (b) is displayed. Then, after 10 seconds have passed since displaying the tide information meter shown in FIG. 25 (b), the tide and the time of the second high tide of that day and the time and tide of the high tide are displayed as shown in FIG. 25 (c). Display the information meter. Then, after 10 seconds have passed since the tide information meter shown in FIG. 25 (c) is displayed, the display returns to the tide information meter shown in FIG. 25 (a). Then, once again, the tide information meter of the screen of FIG. 25 (a) is displayed for 10 seconds and switched to the tide information meter of the screen of FIG. 25 (b), and then the tide information meter of the screen of FIG. It displays for 10 seconds and switches to the tide information meter of the screen of FIG. 25 (c). When the tide information meter on the screen of FIG. 25 (c) is displayed for 10 seconds, one minute elapses after switching to the preset screen, and thus the screen is switched to the next format screen. In this way, the format is displayed at a time interval (10 seconds in the present embodiment) shorter than the time interval (1 minute in the present embodiment) for switching to a screen of another format after the display of the format screen is displayed. The contents of the tide information meter, which is a predetermined display area in the screen of FIG. Therefore, in the state where the switching display of the predetermined display area (in this example, the tide information meter) in the screen of this format is not performed at all, the screen is not switched to another format. Therefore, it is possible to visually recognize a large amount of information in a short time by switching display of a predetermined display area in the screen of the format and switching display of the screen itself of the format. In addition, it is possible to confirm these information without waiting for the round of the notification of the switching display. For example, when the tide information screen of the day shown in FIG. 25 is displayed, the screen shown in FIG. 26 is displayed, but this content is confirmed by switching display of the content of the tide information meter in a narrower area. It is possible to check all the contents within the display time (one minute) of the preset display screen without waiting for the next preset screen to be displayed. The second low tide time or the day when the high tide time is not present may be left blank, or the meter display may be skipped.

  In the present embodiment, a graph screen as illustrated in FIG. 6C is provided as at least one of the screens of the format that can be selected on the auto item setting screen. As with this graph screen, it has a screen with a format that makes it possible to grasp the current situation by contrasting the current situation with the past situation, and the predetermined time for switching display from the screen of that format to the screen of another format The interval may be configured as a time interval in which the current situation can be grasped by comparing the current situation and the past situation. The graph screen has a display time of 1 minute, and the current situation can be grasped by comparing the current situation with the past situation. By doing this, it is possible to visually compare the current situation with the past situation before the screen of the currently displayed format is switched to the screen of another format.

  In the present embodiment, when displaying a screen other than the map screen as the current information display function, the process of outputting voice is performed when the alarm is performed by the GPS alarm function, the radar wave alarm function, and the wireless alarm function. However, while the alarm sound is being output, the screen may be switched to the map screen, and an alarm with an alarm window or the like similar to the alarm when displaying the map screen may be performed. In this case, it is preferable that the screen of the format that can be selected on the auto item setting screen does not include the map screen. In this way, when a predetermined event (alarm in this embodiment) occurs while switching the display of screens of different formats in a predetermined order at a predetermined time interval, switching to a screen notifying the occurrence of the event It is preferable to have an event screen display switching function to be displayed, and not have a screen of the same format as a screen notifying an event occurrence as a screen of a format that can be selected as a target of switching display. By doing this, the screen having the same format as the screen notifying of the occurrence of an event is not switched and displayed at a predetermined time interval in a predetermined order by the display function of the AUTO screen. As well as being able to know surely, the screen switched and displayed at a predetermined time interval in a predetermined order is not erroneously recognized as an event occurrence screen.

  In the present embodiment, the example in which the display unit 5 is provided with the touch panel has been described, but the configuration may be such that only the remote control 17 or the switch unit 3 is provided. For example, the focus frame is moved according to the detection of the button operation or the like to indicate the selection target, and when pressing of the determination button is detected, the item having the focus frame is stored in the database 19 as the selected item. The screen switching process may be performed with reference to the stored items.
