Description

  The present invention relates to an analog meter mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile, and to a movable meter capable of moving a display unit and a display control method thereof.

  Analog vehicle meters mounted on vehicles such as automobiles include a speed meter that displays speed and a tachometer that displays engine speed. Various ideas for improving the visibility have been proposed for the display unit including these instruments. For example, the dial system of a speed meter is rotated, and a meter system (for example, refer to Patent Document 1) that can intuitively grasp the arrival status of a pointer with respect to a speed limit, or two instruments are moved left and right to There is a combination instrument (see, for example, Patent Document 2) that allows another information to be displayed between instruments.

  Although it is the same that different information is displayed between the instruments, research is also being conducted on a movable meter in which two instruments are moved diagonally forward or diagonally backward. FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are schematic diagrams showing the operation of a conventional movable meter. As shown in FIG. 11, in this movable meter, the dials 22 and 32 of the two instruments (speedometer 20 and tachometer 30) are usually moved obliquely forward from the screen of the central display 50, Part of the left and right sides of the display 50 is covered (hereinafter referred to as an overlap region). At this time, on the display 50, only the minimum necessary information is displayed in the visible area.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, when special information needs to be displayed in large size, the dials of the two instruments simultaneously move diagonally backward, the overlap area disappears, and the entire screen of the display 50 is displayed. Will be visible. Thus, since the instrument and the dial face move diagonally forward or diagonally backward, the viewing angle required for visual recognition of the display is smaller than when the instrument moves left and right as in the combination instrument disclosed in Patent Document 2. The display can be changed without spreading, and thus without reducing the driver's visibility.

  However, the movable meter has a problem that flexible display control cannot be performed because two meters are uniformly moved obliquely backward when performing special display on the display.

  In particular, in some cases, inconvenience may be caused only by the control in which the display is performed after the movable meter is moved in accordance with the content of information. For example, in the case of urgent information, if the display is performed after completion of the movement of the movable meter, the display is not quick. On the other hand, if a uniform display is performed regardless of the current position of the movable meter for quick display, if there is an overlap area, the displayed information is hidden behind the movable meter and cannot be seen from the eye point. There is a problem that accurate information cannot be transmitted. Note that the display area where information can be visually recognized (that is, the display area of the display that does not include the overlap area) varies depending on the position of the movable meter.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a system configuration of a movable meter according to an embodiment of the present invention. The movable meter system 100 mainly comprises a CPU 10, a speedometer 20, a tachometer 30, a graphic controller 40, a liquid crystal display (LCD) 50, a vehicle data input / output interface 60, an EEPROM 70, and the like.

  The CPU 10 is a control unit that controls the overall operation of the movable analog meter and the display. The display control method described later is realized by executing a program read into the CPU 10 and has a function as a display control means. Demonstrate.

  The speedometer 20 is one of movable meters, and can be moved diagonally forward or diagonally backward by a speedometer moving motor 21. The tachometer 30 is also a movable meter, and can be moved diagonally forward or rearward by a tachometer moving motor 31. Note that the standard position of the two instruments (speedometer 20 and tachometer 30) is diagonally forward of the screen of LCD 50, and an overlap region occurs (normal time). In the embodiment of the present invention, a case where two movable meters (speedometer 20 and tachometer 30) are mounted is assumed and an overlap region is generated in front of LCD 50 by each movable meter. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the number of movable meters may be one, or one meter may be a movable meter, and another meter may be fixed to the meter. Further, a case where the movable meter is arranged on the left and right of the LCD 50 and moves diagonally forward or diagonally backward will be described. You may move in directions other than back. In short, it is only necessary that a part of the LCD 50 is covered by the movable meter arranged in front of the LCD and an overlap area is generated in the LCD 50.

  The graphic controller 40 is a control unit for converting the generated or acquired image data into RGB image data that can be displayed on the LCD 50, and sending it to the LCD 50. The image data stored in the frame memory 41 is sent to the X driver 51 of the LCD 50 one screen at a time.

  The LCD 50 is a display disposed between two movable meters, and further includes a display unit including an X driver 51, a Y driver 52, an LCD power source 53, and the like. The RGB image data sent to the X driver 51 is displayed on the LCD 50 while being synchronized with the horizontal synchronizing signal sent to the X driver 51 and the vertical synchronizing signal sent to the Y driver 52.

  The vehicle data input / output interface 60 is an interface unit for acquiring measurement data from an external speed sensor or rotation speed sensor (both not shown). The indicated values of the pointers of the speedometer 20 and the tachometer 30 are determined based on data acquired through this interface. Further, LCD display-related data such as image information related to the traveling direction output from the navigation system (not shown) and notification information related to the vehicle such as tire punctures and failure points are also acquired via this interface.

  The EEPROM 70 is a rewritable memory for storing a program and data to be executed by the CPU 10, and stores an execution program for a display control method to be described later.

  Next, the operation of the movable meter configured as described above will be described.

  First, FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a display operation procedure of the movable meter in the embodiment of the present invention. When the CPU 10 reads information relating to the vehicle or the traveling direction or the like via the vehicle data input / output interface 60 (step S10), the CPU 10 reads the analog instrument pointers of the speedometer 20 and the tachometer 30 according to the read instruction values. (Step S11).

  Next, the CPU 10 grasps the current positions of the speedometer 20 and the tachometer 30 (step S12). For example, when the speedometer moving motor 21 and the tachometer moving motor 31 are stepping motors, the current position can be determined based on the number of steps output for rotating the motor.

  Then, the CPU 10 calculates an overlap area based on the current positions of the speedometer 20 and the tachometer 30, and performs display control processing so that no display is made in the overlap area (step S13). Specific display control processing will be described later. The above is a series of display operation procedures.

[Embodiment 1]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the display control processing procedure of the movable meter according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram for explaining a display control example of the display of the movable meter according to the first embodiment of the present invention. An outline of the display control process described in the first embodiment will be described first. For example, when an analog meter is positioned inside (normal position) when a certain information display is instructed, as shown in FIG. 4A, it is displayed in an area excluding the overlap area (area surrounded by a dotted line). Is made. Then, when an instruction to move to the outside (enlarged display position) is made, the CPU 10 calculates an overlap region from the position after the analog meter has finished moving to the outside. In this case, since the overlap area disappears, the CPU 10 redisplays the same information in a display area (area surrounded by a dotted line) enlarged on the entire screen of the LCD 50.

  In order to implement the display control in the first embodiment described above, first, the CPU 10 determines whether the analog meters are inside (normal position) or outside (enlarged) with respect to the current positions of the speedometer 20 and the tachometer 30 ascertained. It is determined whether the display position is present (step S20). When the analog meters are inside, the CPU 10 next determines whether or not there is an instruction to move the position of these analog meters (step S21).

  When there is an instruction to move to the outside (enlarged display position), the CPU 10 waits for completion of the movement of the analog meter to the outside position (step S22), and enlarges the display area where information can be displayed (step S22). S23). At this time, since the overlap area generated in the LCD 50 when the analog meter is moved to the outside position is set to “none” in advance, the CPU 10 switches the entire display surface of the LCD 50 to the display area and displays the display area. Display information in the area. On the other hand, when there is no movement instruction in step S21, display is performed with the display area size unchanged (step S24).

  In step S20, when the analog meters are outside, the CPU 10 next determines whether or not there is an instruction to move the position of these analog meters (step S25).

  If there is an instruction to move to the inside (normal position), the CPU 10 reduces the display area where information can be displayed and displays it (step S26), and then completes the movement of the analog meter to the inside position (step S26). S27). At this time, the overlap area generated on the LCD 50 when the analog meter is moved to the inner position is set to “presence” in advance, and the location where the overlap area is generated is set. The range excluding the overlap area on the display surface of the LCD 50 is switched to the display area, and information is displayed in the display area. On the other hand, if there is no movement instruction in step S25, display is performed with the display area size unchanged (step S28).

[Embodiment 2]
Next, FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a display control processing procedure of the movable meter according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram for explaining a display control example of the display of the movable meter according to the second embodiment of the present invention. An outline of the display control process described in the second embodiment will be described first. In the above-described first embodiment, the configuration for enlarging / reducing the area of the display area capable of displaying information on the LCD 50 has been described. However, in the second embodiment, the configuration for enlarging / reducing the size of information displayed on the LCD 50. Will be described. For example, when an analog meter is positioned on the inner side (normal position) when an instruction to display certain information is given, the display is made in an area excluding the overlap area as shown in FIG. Then, when an instruction to move to the outside (enlarged display position) is made, the CPU 10 calculates an overlap region from the position after the analog meter has finished moving to the outside. At this time, since the overlap region disappears, the CPU 10 re-displays the same information on the screen of the LCD 50 with “enlarged” characters or images as shown in FIG. In the example in the figure, a number with a larger font size is displayed.

  In order to implement the display control in the above-described second embodiment, first, the CPU 10 determines whether the analog meters are inside (normal position) or outside (enlarged) with respect to the current positions of the speedometer 20 and the tachometer 30 ascertained. It is determined whether the display position is present (step S30). When the analog meters are inside, the CPU 10 next determines whether or not there is an instruction to move the position of these analog meters (step S31).

  When there is an instruction to move to the outside (enlarged display position), the CPU 10 waits for the completion of the movement of the analog meter to the outside position (step S32) and enlarges the size of information to be displayed on the LCD 50 for display. (Step S33). On the other hand, when there is no movement instruction in step S31, the display is performed with the size of the information to be displayed as it is (step S34).

  If the analog meters are outside in step S30, the CPU 10 next determines whether or not there is an instruction to move the position of these analog meters (step S35).

  When there is an instruction to move to the inside (normal position), the CPU 10 displays the image by reducing the size of the information to be displayed (step S36), and then completes the movement of the analog meter to the inside position (step S36). S37). On the other hand, when there is no movement instruction in step S35, display is performed with the size of the information to be displayed as it is (step S38).

  In the second embodiment, the configuration for enlarging / reducing the size of information displayed on the LCD 50 has been described. When the information to be displayed is a character, the number of fonts is set in advance so that when the overlap area is generated on the display surface of the LCD 50, a part of the character is not included in the range of the overlap area. It is necessary to set to. In addition, although the structure which switches the font number of a character according to the presence or absence of the overlap area | region which generate | occur | produces on the display surface of LCD50 was demonstrated here, even if the information displayed on LCD50 is a mark, an icon, an image, etc. Similarly, it is necessary to set the reduction ratio of the mark, icon, and image in advance so that a part of the mark, icon, and image is not included in the overlap area.

[Embodiment 3]
Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a display control processing procedure of the movable meter according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram for explaining a display control example of the display of the movable meter according to the third embodiment of the present invention. An outline of the display control process described in the third embodiment will be described first. In the first and second embodiments described above, the configuration for enlarging / reducing the area of the display area capable of displaying information on the LCD 50 and the configuration for enlarging / reducing the size of information displayed on the LDC 50 have been described. In the third embodiment, a configuration for increasing or decreasing the amount of information displayed on the LCD 50 will be described. For example, when an analog meter is positioned outside (enlarged display position) when a display of certain information is instructed, as shown in FIG. 8A, an area excluding the overlap area (in this case, the overlap area is Since it has disappeared, it is displayed on the entire screen of the LCD 50. Then, when an inward movement (ordinary position) instruction is given, the CPU 10 calculates an overlap region from the position where the inward movement is completed. Since the overlap area is maximized at the position where the analog meter is located inside, the CPU 10 selects and redisplays only a part of the information in the reduced display area. In the example of the figure, the trip meter value is selected and displayed from the odometer value and the trip meter value. When the amount of information is decreased, the driver may be able to select which information is displayed.

  In order to perform the display control in the above-described third embodiment, first, the CPU 10 determines whether the analog meters are inside (normal position) or outside (enlarged) with respect to the grasped current positions of the speedometer 20 and the tachometer 30. It is determined whether the display position is present (step S40). If the analog meters are inside, the CPU 10 next determines whether or not there is an instruction to move the position of these analog meters (step S41).

  When there is an instruction to move to the outside (enlarged display position), the CPU 10 waits for the completion of the movement of the analog meter to the outside position (step S42) and increases the amount of information to be displayed for display (step S42). S43). On the other hand, when there is no movement instruction in step S41, the display is performed with the information amount to be displayed as it is (step S44).

  If the analog meters are outside in step S40, the CPU 10 next determines whether or not there is an instruction to move the position of these analog meters (step S45).

  If there is an instruction to move to the inside (normal position), the CPU 10 displays the information by reducing the amount of information to be displayed (step S46), and then completes the movement of the analog meter to the inside position (step S47). ). On the other hand, if there is no movement instruction in step S45, the information amount to be displayed is displayed as it is (step S48).

[Embodiment 4]
Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a display control processing procedure of the movable meter according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. An outline of the display control process described in the fourth embodiment will be described first. In the first, second, and third embodiments described above, control is performed so that the display of the LCD 50 is switched after completion of movement of the analog meter to the outer position or the inner position. In the fourth embodiment, even when the analog meter is moving to the outer position or the inner position, the display of the LCD 50 is sequentially switched in accordance with the movement.

  First, the CPU 10 determines whether the analog meters are inside (normal position) or outside (enlarged display position) with respect to the grasped current positions of the speedometer 20 and the tachometer 30 (step S50). If the analog meters are inside, the CPU 10 next determines whether or not there is an instruction to move the position of these analog meters (step S51).

  When there is an instruction to move outside (enlarged display position), the CPU 10 further determines the movement state of the analog meter (step S52). When the movement is not completed, the CPU 10 moves the position of the analog meter from the inner side to the outer side (that is, diagonally backward) by ΔL (step S53).

  Here, FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the movement amount of the analog meter and the increase / decrease amount of the overlap region. For example, when the dial face of the analog meter moves from the inner position (normal position) to the outer position (enlarged display position), the overlap area covering the LCD 50 decreases by ΔX when the analog meter moves diagonally backward by the distance ΔL. . In other words, the overlap area is reduced by a width of 2 · ΔX in total, and the display area is enlarged. The amount of overlap area decrease ΔX accompanying the movement of one analog meter from the inside to the outside is set in advance, and the overlap area at any point in time during which the analog meter is moving is determined. be able to.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 9, the CPU 10 performs display on the display area whose width is enlarged by 2 · ΔX (step S54). Next, returning to step S52, steps S53 to S54 are repeated until the movement of the analog meter to the outside position (enlarged display position) is completed, and the display continuously changes while gradually expanding the display area. On the other hand, if there is no movement instruction in step S51, the display area is displayed as it is (step S55).

  In steps S53 and S54, the position of the analog meter is moved from the inner side to the outer side (that is, obliquely rearward) by ΔL, and then the display area is enlarged by 2 · ΔX. This order is because if the order is changed, that is, if the display area is enlarged by 2 · ΔX before the position of the analog meter is moved, the enlarged part in the display area becomes the analog meter. It is because there exists a possibility of being located behind.

  On the other hand, if the analog meters are outside in step S50, the CPU 10 next determines whether or not there is an instruction to move the position of these analog meters (step S56).

  When there is an instruction to move inward (normal position), the CPU 10 further determines the movement state of the analog meter (step S57). If the movement has not been completed, the CPU 10 performs display on the display area whose width is reduced by 2 · ΔX (step S58).

  Here, FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the movement amount of the analog meter and the increase amount of the overlap region. For example, when the dial of the analog meter moves from the outer position (enlarged display position) to the inner position (normal position), the overlap area covering the LCD 50 increases by ΔX when the analog meter moves diagonally forward by a distance ΔL. . In other words, the overlap area is increased by a width of 2 · ΔX in combination with the left and right, and the display area is reduced. The increase amount ΔX of the overlap region that accompanies the movement of one analog meter from the outside to the inside is set in advance, and the overlap region at any point in time during which the analog meter is moving is determined. be able to.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 9, the CPU 10 moves the position of the analog meter from outside to inside (ie, diagonally forward) by ΔL (step S59). Next, returning to step S57, steps S58 to S59 are repeated until the movement of the analog meter to the inner position (normal position) is completed, and the display continuously changes while gradually reducing the display area. On the other hand, if there is no movement instruction in step S56, the display area is displayed as it is (step S60).

  In steps S58 and S59, the display area is reduced by 2 · ΔX, and then the position of the analog meter is moved from the outside to the inside (ie, obliquely backward) by ΔL. If this order is changed, that is, if the analog meter moves before the display area is reduced by 2 · ΔX, the display area may be located behind the moved analog meter. Because there is.

  In steps S53 and S54 and steps S58 and S59, the example in which the display area is enlarged / reduced has been described. However, the size of the information to be displayed may be enlarged or reduced as in the second embodiment. However, the amount of information to be displayed may be increased or decreased as in the third embodiment.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the current position of the analog meter is determined only on the inside (normal position) or the outside (enlarged display position). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even when the analog meter is located in the middle thereof, the position may be grasped. At this time, since the overlap area is uniquely calculated based on the position of the analog meter, it is naturally possible to perform display control so as not to display the overlap area.

  In the above embodiment, the speedometer and the tachometer have been described as examples of the analog meter. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is an analog type and can be driven diagonally forward or diagonally backward. Any indicating instrument may be used as long as it is a movable meter having a simple structure.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the case where two analog meters (speedometer and tachometer) are driven simultaneously has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is directed to the inside (normal position) or the outside (enlarged display position). You may enable it to move each independently. At that time, the display may be controlled before and after the movement, or the display may be continuously controlled during the movement.

  As described above in detail, according to the movable meter and the display control method thereof according to the present invention, the display on the display is controlled so as not to be displayed in the overlap region. However, regardless of whether or not the movable meter is moving, appropriate and accurate information transmission can be performed at the time when the information display or display change is instructed.
