In this way, every time the lower button of the remote controller 17 is detected, a scroll display that transitions from the display state of FIG. 6 (a) to the display state of FIG. 6 (b), FIG. 6 (b) to FIG. 6 (c). Scroll display for transition to the display state of FIG. 6, Scroll display for transition to the display state of FIG. 6A from FIG. 6C,..., Transition from the display state of FIG. Scroll display is performed (the parts omitted as "..." are the same scroll display in FIGS. 7 to 10). The scroll display is performed by a method of smoothly and smoothly scrolling at a constant speed as shown in order in FIGS. 11 (a), 11 (b), and 11 (c). On the other hand, when pressing of the upper button of the remote controller 17 is detected, the same display is performed by moving the area downward.

  The user presses the upper and lower buttons on the remote controller 17 so that the reduced screen image of the standby screen to be displayed in the standby state on the display unit 5 comes to the center. Then, a reduced screen image of the standby screen to be displayed in the standby state on the display unit 5 is displayed in the center (the focus F3 is on the left of the reduced screen image of the standby screen to be displayed in the standby state). In the state where is displayed), the determination button of the remote controller 17 is pressed.

  In the state of FIG. 6A to FIG. 10B in which the scrolling is stopped, the control unit 18 detects that the determination button on the remote control 17 is pressed, and the reduction displayed at the center at that time. The ID corresponding to the screen image (the image of the screen on which the focus F3 is displayed on the left) is stored in the non-volatile memory as the standby screen setting information and the reduced screen displaying the focus frame FF at the center thereof Move around the image and draw. For example, in the state where the reduced screen image of the “speed” standby screen of FIG. 6B is displayed in the center portion, when pressing of the enter button of the remote control 17 is detected, 2 is set as the ID. The screen setting information is stored in the non-volatile memory, and the focus frame FF is moved and drawn around the reduced screen image of the “speed” standby screen.

  Then, when pressing of the left button of the remote controller 17 is detected while the standby screen setting screens of FIGS. 6 to 10 are displayed, the system setting screen of FIG. 5B is displayed. Returning to this screen, if it is detected that the right button of the remote controller 17 is pressed on this screen, the screen returns to the setting screen shown in FIG. When “end setting” is selected on this setting screen and the enter button is pressed, the screen returns to the standby screen display function, and the standby screen of the ID stored in the nonvolatile memory as the standby screen setting information Will be displayed.

  In this embodiment, the image of the reduced screen of each standby screen is taken as a screen shot of the actually displayed example, and the image data of the reduced screen is stored in the nonvolatile memory. This is displayed. For this reason, for example, the reduced screen image of the “clock” standby screen shown in FIG. 6A is the actual display of the “clock” standby screen as shown in FIG. These are different images, but these are actually reduced screen images of the screen shot displayed as the “clock” standby screen. Therefore, the user who sees the image of the reduced screen can easily recognize that it is the standby screen of the “clock”. Similarly, the reduced screen image of the “speed” standby screen of ID2 in FIG. 18A corresponds to the reduced image displayed in the center of FIG. 6B, and ID3 of FIG. 18B. The reduced screen image of the “eco-drive” standby screen corresponds to the reduced image displayed in the center of FIG. 6C, and the “acceleration” standby screen of ID4 in FIG. 18C is reduced. The screen image corresponds to the reduced image displayed at the center of FIG. 7A, and the reduced screen image of the “tilt” standby screen of FIG. 15A of ID5 is shown in FIG. 7B. Corresponding to the reduced image displayed in the center, the reduced image of the standby screen of the “tide information” in FIG. 15B of ID6 is displayed in the center of FIG. 7C. The reduced image of the standby screen of “tachometer” in FIG. 15C of ID7 is displayed in the center of FIG. 8A. It corresponds to a reduced image, the image of the reduced screen of the “multimeter” standby screen of FIG. 16A of ID8 corresponds to the reduced image displayed in the center of FIG. The reduced screen image of the standby screen of “Fuel consumption” in FIG. 16B corresponds to the reduced image displayed in the center of FIG. 8C, and “Engine load” in FIG. The image of the reduced screen of the standby screen “” corresponds to the reduced image displayed in the center of FIG. 9A, and the reduced screen of the standby screen of “ODB data” of FIG. The image corresponds to the reduced image displayed at the center of FIG. 9B, and the reduced screen image of the “positioning information” standby screen of FIG. 17B of ID12 is the center of FIG. 9C. This corresponds to the reduced image displayed on the screen.

  The reduced screen image of the ID 13 “rotation” standby screen is the state of the reduced image displayed in the center of FIG. 10A or the reduced image displayed in the center of FIGS. Draw as a state. The contents of this display process will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As described above, the “rotation” standby screen is “tilt”, “tide information”, “tachometer”, “multimeter”, “fuel consumption”, “engine load” shown in FIG. 15A to FIG. 16C in order. The 12 types of standby screens of “ODB data”, “positioning information”, “clock”, “speed”, “eco-drive”, and “acceleration” are displayed every other minute, so these 12 types of images are displayed as images of this reduced screen. You may comprise so that the image of a reduction screen may be switched every 1 minute. However, if the screen does not change for one minute on the setting screen, the user may misunderstand that the reduced screen displayed at that time is set as the standby screen. Therefore, in this embodiment, the images of the reduced screens of the 12 types of standby screens are connected vertically from the top to the bottom in the order of IDs 1 to 12, and scrolled within the display area of the “rotation” reduced screen image. Displayed. Note that the image of the reduced screen of ID12 is also displayed next to the image of the reduced screen of ID12. For example, FIG. 12 (a), FIG. 12 (b), FIG. 12 (c), FIG. 13 (a), FIG. 13 (b), and FIG. 13 (c) are reduced screens of the standby screen of “tachometer” of ID7. FIG. 14 (a), FIG. 14 (b), and FIG. 14 (c) sequentially show a state in which the image is scroll-displayed from the image of ID8 to the reduced screen image of the “multimeter” standby screen of ID8. The subsequent images are scrolled from the reduced image of the standby screen of ID8 “multimeter” to the reduced screen image of the standby screen of ID9 “fuel consumption”. . In this way, scroll display is performed within the image display area of the “rotation” reduced screen. This scrolling is performed continuously without stopping, and the scrolling speed is such that after the entire reduced screen image of a standby screen is displayed, the entire screen is scrolled out and the reduced screen of the next standby screen is displayed. The time until the entire image is displayed is 3 seconds.

  The reduced screen image of the standby screen of ID14 “OFF” displays a reduced screen image in which nothing is painted black, such as the reduced image displayed in the center of FIG. To do.

  As described above, the radar detector displays a standby screen setting screen for selecting a standby screen to be displayed based on an instruction input from the user from among 14 types of standby screens that can be displayed. A screen selected on the receiving screen setting screen is set as a display target screen, and the set display target screen is displayed. The standby screen setting screen is configured to display the name of each screen in the vicinity of the reduced screen together with a reduced screen image obtained by reducing each of the screen images recognized by the user as a plurality of displayable standby screens. Yes.

  In this way, even if there are 14 types of screens that can be displayed, it is possible to easily understand which screens can be selected by looking at the reduced image, and the screen desired by the user can be reliably displayed. Can be set. This is because the reduced image is a reduced image of the screen that can actually be displayed.

  Note that the screen recognized by the user as the plurality of displayable screens may be, for example, the plurality of displayable screens themselves, or may have the main part of the plurality of displayable screens. When displaying the set display target screen, the main part of the screen does not change, but even if part of it is rewritten by processing, the screen is recognized by the user as a plurality of displayable screens. By displaying the name of each screen in the vicinity of the reduced screen together with the image of the reduced screen obtained by reducing each image, the screen desired by the user can be reliably set as a display target. For example, in the case of a screen having a variable portion and a non-variable portion, an image of a reduced screen obtained by reducing a screen image of the non-variable portion is displayed, or an image of a screen displaying an example in which the variable portion is displayed is displayed. It is preferable to display a reduced screen image.

  The standby screen setting screen is configured to display a plurality of reduced screen images in the vertical direction, and to display the characters constituting the name of the reduced screen side by side in the horizontal direction orthogonal to the vertical direction. Therefore, even if the screen is narrow like the radar detector of the present embodiment, a large number of reduced screens can be displayed, and the screen to be displayed can be easily selected.

  When a plurality of reduced screen images are displayed side by side in the vertical direction, the reduced screen image to be selected as the display target screen of the standby screen is an area in which a plurality of reduced screen images are displayed in a predetermined direction. It was set as the structure displayed on the center part of the length of an up-down direction. Therefore, the reduced screen image of the standby screen displayed at the center in the vertical direction becomes the reduced screen to be selected as the display target screen, and it is easy to understand which screen is the selection target screen.

  When pressing of the selection button of the remote controller 17 is detected, the focus frame FF indicating the portion including the reduced image of the target selected as the display target screen of the standby screen is displayed. It can be intuitively understood from the relationship between the reduced screen image and the focus frame FF that the selected screen is to be selected. In other words, the standby screen corresponding to the reduced screen surrounded by the focus frame FF is a target to be selected as a display target screen. In addition, the focus F3 that is an instruction display is performed in the vicinity of the image of the reduced screen indicating the target to be selected as the display target screen of the standby screen. In this way, it can be easily understood from the positional relationship between the focus F3 and the image which screen is the selection target screen. That is, it can be seen that the standby screen corresponding to the reduced screen having the focus F3 on the right side is selected. In this state, when pressing of the selection button of the remote controller 17 is detected, a focus frame FF indicating a portion including the reduced image of the target selected as the display target screen of the standby screen is around the reduced image. It can be seen that

  On the standby screen setting screen, scroll display control is performed to simultaneously display three types of reduced screen images from among a plurality of standby screens that can be displayed in accordance with detection of a predetermined scroll operation. The configuration. Therefore, it is possible to easily select a selection target screen by looking at a reduced screen image displayed by a scroll operation from a large number of screens that cannot be displayed on the screen at the same time.

  The standby screen display target screen is provided with a rotation screen that switches and displays a plurality of screens at 1-minute intervals, and the standby screen setting screen includes the plurality of screens as a reduced screen image of the rotation screen. Display a visible image. Therefore, since a plurality of screens that are switched and displayed as a rotation screen at a predetermined time interval are displayed as reduced screen images, what screen is switched and displayed at a predetermined time interval on the rotation screen. It can be easily grasped. In addition, as a viewable image of the plurality of screens, a reduced screen image obtained by connecting a plurality of standby screens that are switched and displayed at one minute intervals in a predetermined direction is 3 seconds, which is shorter than the one minute interval. The display is scrolled so as to switch between. Therefore, in a short time, it is possible to quickly and easily grasp what screen is switched and displayed at intervals of 1 minute on the rotation screen.

  In addition, it is good also as a structure which switches and displays the image of the reduction | restoration screen which reduced each of the several screen which switches and displays this several screen as an image which can be visually recognized at intervals shorter than 1 minute. For example, instead of rotation, it may be switched instantaneously. In this way, it is possible to quickly and easily grasp what screen is switched and displayed at predetermined time intervals on the rotation screen in a short time.

  As the standby screen to be displayed, there is an “OFF” screen (off screen) that is not displayed. When the standby screen setting screen is not displayed as a reduced screen image of the off screen An image indicating a screen state (a black image) is displayed. For this reason, it is possible to easily confirm the display on the off-screen as a reduced screen image.

  According to the present invention, even if the number of displayable screens is as large as 14 types, it is possible to easily understand which screen is selectable as the display target screen of the standby screen, and the user desires It is possible to provide a system or the like that can reliably set the standby screen to be displayed as the display target screen.

  In this embodiment, the display unit 5 and the speaker 20 are provided in the radar detector. However, the radar detector is not provided in the radar detector, and instead includes, for example, a general-purpose device (for example, a monitor, a speaker, or the like). A signal may be output to a mobile phone or the like.

  In the present embodiment, the power supply can be received by connecting to the cigar socket of the vehicle via the cigar plug cord, but the power supply may be received from the OBD2 connector.
