  For example, the route from station A to station C is the route “I route” of the B railway operator (hereinafter simply referred to as “Company B”), and the other route operators (A company, C company) , Company D) trains can enter. The route from the B station to the D station is the route “F route” of the company C, and trains of other railway operators (company A, company B, company D) can enter the route H. Similarly, the routes from station C to station D, from station D to station E, from station E to station F, and from station E to station G are the routes of company A, and other railway operators (company B, company C Company, Company D) trains can enter. Further, the route from the G station to the H station is the route “Ho route” of the company D, and trains (A company, B company, C company) can enter the route H.

  The train information display device according to the present embodiment supports the operation of setting the train type name, the door opening direction, and the like at the start of train operation for the routes of these different railway operators. For example, a train type will be described as an example. A train in which the train type is defined as “normal” in Company A may be defined as “each stop” in Company B. Company A may have a “commuting quasi-express” but not a “commuting express”. For this reason, in the conventional display device, the driver of company A operates a screen displaying a list of “each stop”, “normal”, “commuting semi-express”, “commuting express”, etc. There is a problem that the train type corresponding to the person has to be selected and the operation becomes complicated.

For example, the driving button is a button for displaying a driving screen provided to the driver, and the conductor button is a conductor screen when driving by two persons. The exit button is a button that displays a screen that is displayed at the time of exit, and the confirmation button is an abnormal state, for example, when any breaker is dropped or the door is open It is a button for displaying a screen for confirming. The destination button is a button for making a transition from the operation screen to the destination setting screen when the operation screen is displayed, for example.

  In FIG. 4, FIG. 4 (a) shows an example of the spot setting screen for company A, and FIG. 4 (b) shows an example of the spot setting screen for company B. On the left side of the screen, buttons such as type, point, destination, service number, door, etc. are displayed, and information corresponding to an ON display button (here, a point) is displayed in the center of the screen. For example, FIG. 4 (a) displays a list of stops on or passes through the route of Company A, and further highlights the representative stations shown in FIG. 2 (stations where different railway operators enter). Therefore, for example, when the button of the X station is pressed as the departure place (point), the display control unit 12 displays the X station at the point on the left side of the screen. The same applies to the setting of the destination. For example, when the button of station A is pressed as the destination, the display control unit 12 displays station A at a point on the left side of the screen.

  Further, FIG. 4B shows a list of stations that have stopped or passed through the route of Company B, and the representative station is highlighted as described above. Therefore, when the button of N station is pressed as the departure place (point), the display control unit 12 displays N station at the point on the left side of the screen. In the above description, the point setting screen has been described. However, since the destination setting screen is configured in the same manner, the description thereof is omitted below.
