The execution switch SW1, the hold switch SW2, and the deletion switch SW3 are always displayed at fixed positions whose positions are unchanged.
Further , a plurality of main screens 30, 31, 32,... As agent information output are displayed at the center of the main monitor 6 screen.

  The CPU 10 shown in FIG. 2 provides providing means R1 that provides push-type information at a predetermined timing (see a routine R1 including steps U2 to U4 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5), and providing information provided by the providing means R1 ( Execution means S12 (see step S12 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 6) and provision information (agent information) for executing (searching, displaying, etc.) and providing information (agent information) corresponding to turning on the execution switch SW1 and turning on the deletion switch SW3 Corresponding deletion means S14 (see step S14 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 6) and provision information (agent information) corresponding to ON of the hold switch SW2, can be called later and re-executed in the storage unit 18. Also serves as a holding means S10 (see step S10 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 6) for holding as holding information. Is shall.

  Here, the agent information described above includes emergency information such as accidents, vehicle failures, and almost no gasoline remaining, on-demand information as necessary information at the best timing, and convenience information. Convenient information is configured to be held, and emergency information and on-demand information cannot be held and are configured to be displayed immediately.

Further , the above-described CPU 10 (see FIG. 2) outputs any of the execution switch SW1, the hold switch SW2, and the deletion switch SW3 when the convenience information is output as one of the agent information (see step S7 in the flowchart of FIG. 6). When not operated, it also serves as temporary holding means S17 (see step S17 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 6) for temporarily holding the convenient information without deleting it.

Next , the operation of the vehicle information display device will be described with reference to the respective flowcharts shown in FIGS.

First, the operation of the agent function will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
In step U1, the CPU 10 retrieves and receives various agent information from each of the elements 11 to 17 and 19 in FIG. 2 (refers to reception of mail or the like) (processing to retrieve and receive information itself).
Next, in step U2, the CPU 10 executes reception of agent information (processing to receive as agent information), and in the next step U3, the CPU 10 performs processing for outputting agent information (screen display, etc.), and in the next step U4, The CPU 10 executes processing of agent information (see search, waypoint setting, etc.).

Next, detailed contents will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Flowchart shown in FIG. 6 shows the content of each step U2~U4 shown in FIG. 5 in detail.
In step S1, the CPU 10 identifies whether the received agent information is on-demand information, emergency information, or convenient information that can be held.
In the next step S2, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the information is on-demand information. If YES, the received agent information is on-demand information, the process proceeds to step S4. If NO, the process proceeds to another step S3.

  In step S3, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the received agent information is emergency information. When YES is determined, the process proceeds to the above-described step S4. When NO is determined, the process proceeds to another step S5.

In the above-described step S4, CPU 10 outputs the agent information (on-demand information or emergency information). That is, after the information content is visually displayed (screen display) on the main monitor 6, the process returns to step S1.

  On the other hand, in step S5 described above, the CPU 10 recognizes the convenience information as holdable information. In the next step S6, the CPU 10 determines whether or not it is an output timing, and proceeds to the next step S7 only when YES is determined.

In step S7, the CPU 10 displays the main screen 30 among the plurality of main screens 30, 31, 32 on the main monitor 6 as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, after setting the destination , the example of whether or not to search for various facilities on the way to the destination is illustrated, so the main screen 30 displays “arrival at the destination in the afternoon. "Are you sure you want to search for food and restaurant facilities?"

  Next, in step S8, the CPU 10 determines whether or not there is a hold operation by turning on the hold switch SW2, and when YES is determined, the process proceeds to the next step S9, and when NO is determined, the process proceeds to another step S11.

Here, when the above-described hold switch SW2 is turned on, the display content of the main monitor 6 changes from the content of FIG. 4 to the content shown in FIG. That main screen 30 of FIG. 4 disappears with the main screen 31 of the following is displayed, the display corresponding to the main screen 30 is displayed as an icon 30A on the main monitor 6 and the lower left section.

  On the main screen 31 shown in FIG. 11, messages such as “There is no parking lot at the destination facility” and “Do you want to search and set a parking lot around the destination?” Are displayed on the screen.

When the hold switch SW2 is turned ON in the screen display state under shown in FIG. 11, the display contents of the main monitor 6 is changed to the content shown in FIG. 12 from the contents of FIG. That is , the main screen 31 in FIG. 11 disappears and the next main screen 32 is displayed, and a display corresponding to the main screen 31 is displayed as an icon 31A on the lower left portion of the main monitor 6.

  In step S9 described above, the CPU 10 sets the flag to F = 1 (F = 1 indicates that the occupant has suspended the convenience information for his / her intention). The flag can be updated to a predetermined area of the storage unit 18. Remembered.

Next, in step S10, CPU 10 is suspended as a re-executable stocking information later calling convenience information, but the details of step S10 will be described later with reference to the subroutine of FIG.

  On the other hand, in step S11 described above, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the search switch SW1 is turned on. If YES, the process proceeds to step S12. If NO, the process proceeds to another step S13.

  In step S12 described above, the CPU 10 executes an execution process such as searching for useful information. For example, when the above-described search switch SW1 is turned on in the screen display state shown in FIG. 12, the search and setting of the gas station is executed in this step S12.

  On the other hand, in step S13 described above, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the deletion switch SW3 is turned on. When YES is determined, the process proceeds to step S14, and when NO is determined, the process proceeds to another step S15.

In step S14 described above, the CPU 10 deletes the convenience information based on the ON of the occupant deletion switch SW3. For example, the deletion switch SW3 described above under the screen display state shown in FIG. 11 is turned ON, the convenience information about the parking lot in the step S14 is deleted. If the convenience information about parking is removed as a matter of course, the icons 31A is not displayed on the main monitor 6 in FIG.

On the other hand, in step S15 described above, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed and the time is up. When NO is determined, the CPU 10 returns to step S8, while when the time is up (YES determination), the next step S16 is performed. Migrate to
In step S16, the CPU 10 sets the flag to F = 2 (F = 2 indicates convenience information ignored by the occupant or convenience information forgotten to be suspended by the occupant).

  In the next step S17, the CPU 10 temporarily stores the convenience information in order to prevent the convenience information from being deleted without permission in response to none of the switches SW1, SW2 and SW3 being turned on. Hold.

Next, with reference to the flowchart (subroutine) of FIG. The subroutine shown in FIG. 7 is a subroutine of steps S10 and S17 shown in FIG. 6, and the contents are common to steps S10 and S17.

  In step Q1, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the flag is F = 1. When F = 1 (when YES is determined) that the occupant holds the convenience information for his / her own intention, the process proceeds to the next step Q2. When NO is determined, the process proceeds to another step Q4.

  In step Q2 described above, the CPU 10 calls the convenient information to the storage unit 18 later and holds it as hold information so that it can be re-executed. For example, when the hold switch SW2 is turned on under the screen display state shown in FIG. 4, in this step Q2, the CPU 10 can later call and re-execute meal / restaurant facility information as convenience information. Thus, the storage unit 18 holds the information as the hold information. Corresponding to the reserved information, an icon 30A (see FIGS. 11 and 12) is displayed on the main monitor 6. When this icon 30A is clicked, the content of the predetermined display area 33 surrounded by a dotted line in FIG. Changes as shown.

In other words, the above-described hold information is collectively displayed as “daytime”, “special”, and “delicious” icons 34, 35, and 36 as an example of abstracted symbols or names as shown in FIG. Grouped information is displayed for each information type. In the example of FIG. 13 , a meal-related grouping display is illustrated.
Instead of the configuration in which the content of the predetermined display area 33 is changed as shown in FIG. 13 when the icon 30A is clicked, the content of FIG. 13 may be displayed on the main screen.

Here, when the icon 34 is clicked, a restaurant search is executed. Since the search in this case is based on the hold information , the search range α as shown in the route diagram of the main screen in FIG. The search range α is set to be small so as to be different from the search range β during normal search (see FIG. 14).
That is, the normal search range β is set within a circle having a predetermined radius, but the search range α based on the hold information is set to an elongated range along the road.

  Next, in step Q3 in FIG. 7, determination is made as to whether or not the information (holding information) subjected to the hold processing can be deleted. Details of this step Q3 will be described later with reference to a subroutine in FIG.

  On the other hand, in the above-described step Q4, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the flag is F = 2. When the determination is NO, the subroutine is finished. On the other hand, when F = 2 (when the determination is YES), the process proceeds to the next step Q5. Transition.

In step Q5, the CPU 10 determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example , about 10 minutes) has elapsed, and proceeds to the next step Q6 only when YES is determined.

In step Q6, the CPU 10 displays on the screen a message indicating that the convenience information remains in a state where none of the switches SW1, SW2, and SW3 is operated, corresponding to F = 2.
Next, in step Q7, the CPU 10 determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example , about 5 minutes) has elapsed, and moves to the next step Q8 only when YES is determined.

  At this step Q8, the CPU 10 considers that the above-mentioned convenience information is unnecessary, and automatically deletes the convenience information for the purpose of increasing the amount of hold information (noise reduction). At the next step Q9, the CPU 10 The flag is set to F = 0 (flag indicating deletion).

  Next, referring to the flowchart (subroutine) of FIG. The subroutine shown in FIG. 8 corresponds to step Q3 shown in FIG.

In step C1, the CPU 10 determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example , 1 to 2 hours) has elapsed. When NO is determined, the process proceeds to the next step C2, while when YES is determined, the process proceeds to another step C4. .

  In step C2, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the vehicle has already passed the location of the facility to be searched. When NO is determined, the process proceeds to the next step C3, and when YES is determined, the process proceeds to step C4.

  In step C3 described above, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the vehicle has arrived at the destination. When the determination is NO, the subroutine processing is terminated, whereas when the determination is YES, the process proceeds to step C4.

In step C4 described above, the CPU 10 displays a message asking whether to delete the hold information in response to time-up, position passing , or destination arrival. In the next step C5, the CPU 10 deletes the switch SW3. When the deletion switch SW3 is ON (YES determination), the process proceeds to step C6. When the determination is NO, the subroutine process is terminated without deleting any hold information.

In step C6 described above, the CPU 10 deletes the hold information that is no longer necessary, and in the next step C7, the CPU 10 sets the flag to F = 0.
Instead of the subroutine shown in FIG. 7, the subroutine of FIG. 9 may be adopted. The flowchart shown in FIG. 9 is provided with steps Q10 and Q11 instead of step Q7 in FIG. 7. After displaying the message screen at step Q6, it is determined whether or not the hold switch SW2 is turned on at step Q10. When NO is determined, the process proceeds to step Q8 and the convenient information is automatically deleted. On the other hand, when YES is determined, the flag is set to F = 1 in step Q11, and then the process returns to step Q2. If comprised in this way, since the convenience information which the passenger had forgotten to hold has been put on hold in step Q2, it is possible to complement the passenger's forgetting to hold it.

Further, instead of the subroutine shown in FIG. 8, the subroutine of FIG. 10 may be adopted. The flowchart shown in FIG. 10 is obtained by omitting step C5 in FIG. 8, and is not required after the message screen is displayed in step C4 when any of the conditions of time-up, position passing , or destination arrival is satisfied. The reserved information is automatically deleted at step C6.
According to this structure, suspension information which becomes unnecessary at predetermined conditions, without the need for ON operation of the passenger delete switch SW3, it is possible to automatically delete.

  As described above, the vehicle information display device according to the above-described embodiment is a vehicle information display device including a display unit (see the main monitor 6) that displays various types of information, and push-type information is displayed according to a predetermined condition. Providing means R1, providing means S12 for executing the providing information (refer to agent information) provided by the providing means R1, deleting means S14 for deleting the providing information (refer to agent information), and providing information (agent) Information holding) and holding means S10 for holding the information as holding information so that it can be re-executed later.

  According to the above configuration, the providing means R1 provides push type information (in this embodiment, agrees with agent information) according to a predetermined condition, and the execution means S12 provides the providing information (agent information) provided by the providing means R1. The deletion unit S14 deletes the provision information (refer to the agent information), but the holding unit S10 calls the provision information (refer to the agent information) later to re-execute (redisplay). Hold) as possible hold information.

For this reason, when provision information (refer to agent information) required later is provided at an undesired timing (for example , when information on meals / restaurant facilities as convenience information is provided at the time of starting the vehicle), this provision is provided. Information (refer to agent information) can be suspended to eliminate the annoyance of passengers, and information that has been suspended (hold information) is called and re-executed (including redisplay and facility search). ), The convenience of passengers can be improved.

Further, (see Agent Information) the advertisements, emergency information (accident, malfunction, reference information remaining amount of gasoline substantially zero) and has a convenient information and on-demand information, convenience information with holdable configured Emergency information and on-demand information are displayed immediately.

According to this configuration, the convenience information can be called later and suspended so that it can be reexecuted, and the emergency information is immediately displayed on the display unit (see the main monitor 6), thereby improving the occupant's responsiveness to the emergency information. You can plan.
Further, as shown by the icons 34, 35, and 36 in FIG. 13, the hold information is displayed collectively as an abstracted symbol or name.
According to this configuration, even if the amount of the hold information selected and held by the occupant from the enormous amount of provision information (refer to the agent information) increases, it is displayed as an abstracted symbol or name as a collective display. The occupant can easily find the necessary hold information.

In addition, the hold information is displayed in groups for each information type (see the meal-related grouping display in FIG. 13).
According to this configuration, because the hold information is grouped by type, when searching for the hold information required by the occupant, the required hold information can be searched quickly and easily from a large amount of hold information. And operability can be improved.
In addition, a touch panel type execution switch SW1, a hold switch SW2, and a deletion switch SW3 for processing the provided information (see agent information) are provided at fixed positions.

According to this configuration, since each of the switches SW1 to SW3 is provided at a fixed position, the occupant does not have to visually check the screen of the display unit (see the main monitor 6) while driving the vehicle. In addition, the positions of the switches SW1 to SW3 can be recognized, the operability with respect to the switches SW1 to SW3 is good, and the driving safety can be ensured.
Furthermore, when any of the switches SW1 to SW3 is not operated, a temporary holding means S17 for temporarily holding useful information is provided.

According to this configuration, the convenience information that the occupant has forgotten to hold can be temporarily held, so that the convenience can be improved.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 14, the search range α based on the hold information is obtained by changing the search range so that it is different from the normal search (refer to the search range β). Here , the size of the range may be set to α <β.

According to this configuration, the search range α based on the hold information is changed and set so as to be smaller than that of the normal search, for example . Can save labor and burden.
Moreover, the hold information is deleted under a predetermined condition (see step C6).

  In this embodiment, the predetermined condition is set to at least one of time-up (see step C1), position passing (see step C2), and destination arrival (see step C3).

According to this configuration, unnecessary information from a large amount of pending information can be appropriately erased under a predetermined condition, and the searchability of necessary pending information that has not been erased can be improved. .
