Description

  The present invention relates to a control system 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 notifies 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 a relationship (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the case of the target notification device such as the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, for example, when the detection target to be notified and the current position of the vehicle reach a set distance (for example, 1 km, 500 m, etc.), “500 m ahead XX ”(XX is a voice alarm such as information for identifying a target (loop coil, etc.), or the information on the display is output and displayed as text.

  These control systems, for example, inform the driver of the approach to the vehicle speed measurement device, thereby contributing 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, it is possible to alert the driver to the overspeed in a dangerous place. . Thus, such a control system contributes to safe driving and the like.

  In such a control system, in a state where the vehicle speed measurement device or the like is not approaching the notification target, the control system includes a screen for displaying the acquired current situation such as acceleration and speed applied to the vehicle (Patent Document 2, 3).

  For example, the user has set to display one screen including a desired meter from screens of different formats for displaying information on the current situation, and the set screen is displayed. .

Utility model registration No. 3070388 JP2009-9546 JP 2010-76740 A

  However, information on the current situation can be obtained directly from a wide variety of sensors and vehicles, and the types of meters are increasing in order to display information on these various current situations. For this reason, if a screen is prepared for each type of meter, the number of screens increases, and it is difficult to select a desired meter.

  In addition, when multiple meters are displayed on one screen, a lot of information can be accurately displayed, such as the combination of meters included on the screen may be different from what the user desires. There was a problem that I could not.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a control system or the like that can select and display a meter necessary for a user and can accurately display many types of information.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, a control system according to the present invention is (1) a control system for performing meter display based on acquired data, and includes a plurality of meter display areas on one screen. The at least one meter display area on the one screen is displayed as a meter of the type selected by the user.

  In this way, the user can select a meter necessary for the user and display it on the screen. A control system that can display multiple types of information accurately because it has multiple meter display areas on a single screen and can select and display the necessary meters for the user on the screen. Etc. can be provided.

  In particular, as in (13), the screen may be arranged at a position that can be visually recognized by the driver of the vehicle, and the acquired data may be data that changes as the vehicle moves. While driving the vehicle, it is difficult to switch screens and select the type of meter display. However, if done in this way, for example, the type of meter display that the driver wants to see while driving the vehicle can be selected at times other than driving and displayed during driving.

  As the acquired data, for example, data existing in a storage unit such as a memory such as a RAM or a register may be used. For example, the data acquisition may be performed by using a predetermined event as a trigger for these storage units, for example, when there is a change in data or at a predetermined time interval.

  The meter display may be, for example, a display indicating a measuring instrument. The measuring device may be, for example, an instrument / machine / device for measuring. “Measuring” means, for example, measuring the amount of a physical state. For example, the amount may be indicated by a predetermined measurement unit (a reference for measurement). Examples of the amount of physical events include length, mass, time, current, temperature, substance amount, luminous intensity, angle, solid angle, area, volume, angular velocity, angular acceleration, speed, acceleration, frequency, rotational speed, Wave number, density, force, moment of force, pressure, stress, viscosity, kinematic viscosity, work, man-hour, mass flow rate, flow rate, calorie, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, entropy, electric quantity, electric field strength, voltage, Electromotive force, capacitance, magnetic field strength, magnetomotive force, magnetic flux density, magnetic flux, inductance, electrical resistance, electrical conductance, impedance, power, reactive power, apparent power, energy, reactive energy, apparent energy, Electromagnetic attenuation, electromagnetic power density, radiation intensity, luminous flux, brightness, illuminance, sound power, sound pressure level, vibration acceleration level, concentration, neutron emission rate, radioactivity, absorbed dose, absorbed dose rate, kerma, kerma rate , Irradiation dose, irradiation The amount ratio, dose equivalent or dose equivalent rate, fineness, or equal to the specific gravity and the like.

  For example, when the acquired data changes, the meter display may be configured to update and display the contents so that the change can be understood. For example, when there is a change in the acquired data, it may be updated and displayed, but when there is a change in a predetermined pattern, such as when the acquired data has changed by a predetermined amount or more, An update display may be performed, and an update display may not be performed if there is a change but a change in a predetermined pattern. Further, irrespective of the data update, for example, the update display may be performed according to a predetermined rule such as a predetermined time interval. Particularly preferred is a configuration in which the meter display is updated and displayed at a timing at which the user can recognize that the meter display reflects the current situation. The timing at which the user can recognize that the meter display reflects the current situation is preferably different depending on the type of data displayed on the meter.

  For example, a configuration may be adopted in which information relating to these various current situations is displayed on a meter based on data relating to the current situations acquired from various sensors and other devices. Thus, even if the types of meters increase, it is possible to select and display a desired meter without preparing a screen for each type of meter and without increasing the number of screens. In addition, a plurality of meters are displayed on one screen, but the type of meter selected by the user is displayed in at least one of the meter display areas on the screen. The meter can be displayed and a lot of information can be grasped accurately.

  A plurality of types of meter display may be provided, and control for displaying the type of meter selected by the user from among them may be performed. As a configuration for displaying the type of meter selected by the user, for example, information for specifying the type of meter display selected by the user is stored in the storage unit, and the user stored in the storage unit stores the information. The type of meter display specified based on the information for specifying the type of the selected meter display may be performed. For example, if the meter is of a type that allows the user to feel a change in milliseconds, it may be updated in milliseconds. For example, if the meter is of a type that allows the user to feel a change in seconds, it may be updated in seconds. For example, if the meter is of a type that allows the user to feel a change in minutes, it may be updated in minutes. For example, if the meter is of a type that allows the user to feel a change in an hour unit, it may be updated in an hour unit. For example, if the meter is of a type that allows the user to perceive a change on a daily basis, it may be updated on a daily basis.

  The selection of the type of meter display by the user may be, for example, a configuration in which an option of which meter display to select is presented and selected from the presented options. The presentation of the options may be performed by, for example, a display unit, and for example, the options may be displayed on the same screen as a screen having a plurality of meter display areas. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which options are displayed by switching from a state in which a screen having a plurality of meter display areas is displayed to a state in which a screen for displaying options is displayed.

As the screen, for example, a screen such as a dot matrix display that can change display contents may be used. The screen may be, for example, the entire display area of the display means or a part thereof. For example, the plurality of meter display areas may be arranged so that the meter areas do not overlap each other, but may be arranged so that a part thereof overlaps. In the case of this configuration, it is preferable to perform a display in which the amount to be displayed on the meter can be visually recognized in a portion that does not overlap. Alternatively, for example, the overlapping part may be made semi-transmissive so that both the lower side (back side) and the upper side (near side) can be visually recognized. (2) The meter display area It is good to set it as the structure which displays the meter of the kind selected by the user for every.

  In this way, the user can select which type of meter display is to be displayed in which meter display area on the screen, and the desired type of meter can be displayed in the desired arrangement.

  For example, the user can select the type of meter display for each meter display area. For example, first select the meter display area to be selected, and select the type of meter display for the selected meter display area. Alternatively, first, it is possible to select which type of meter display is to be performed, and to select which meter display region is to display the selected type of meter display. The selection of the meter display area may be, for example, a configuration in which an option for selecting which meter display area is to be selected and selected from the presented options. The presentation of the options may be performed by, for example, a display unit, and for example, the options may be displayed on the same screen as a screen having a plurality of meter display areas. For example, a screen including a plurality of meter display areas may be configured to display the options by switching the options to the display screen.

(3) It is good to carry out the control which performs the predetermined display which is not the said meter display, and it is good to set it as the structure which performs the said predetermined display selected by the said meter display of the kind selected by the user or each user in each said meter display area.

  In this way, when the user selects the predetermined display, the selected predetermined display that is not the meter display is performed in the meter display area. Therefore, the user can view the contents of the selected predetermined display that is not the meter display only by looking at the screen with the intention of viewing the meter display. In this way, the content of the selected predetermined display that is not the meter display can be visually recognized with the same line of sight movement as that of the meter display. For example, the user has selected to display the first type of meter in the first meter display area and selected to display the second meter display area different from the first meter display area. In this case, by moving the line of sight to the first meter display area and the second meter display area on one screen, the first type of meter display and the predetermined display can be visually recognized. In particular, as shown in (13), when the screen is arranged at a position where the driver of the vehicle can visually recognize and the acquired data is data that changes as the vehicle moves, If the line of sight is moved in order to confirm the data that changes as the vehicle moves from the state in which the vehicle is visually recognized, the predetermined display that is not the meter display can also be immediately and naturally recognized.

  The predetermined display is a display that is not a meter display, for example, a clock that indicates the time in the embodiment, a display of the tide of the day, etc., for example, a display that is not a measuring instrument that measures the amount of a physical state Good.

  In this way, the measured amount and the non-measured amount can be confirmed simultaneously on one screen. In addition, a non-measured amount is displayed in the meter display area, and a user-selected item can be displayed and visually recognized in the same manner as the meter display.

(4) It is good to set it as the structure which provides the said predetermined display of the different kind which can be displayed on the said meter display area, and performs the predetermined display of the kind selected from the said several predetermined display type in the said meter display area.

  In this way, for example, the user can cause a predetermined display of a type selected from different types of predetermined displays to be displayed in the meter display area. Therefore, since a predetermined display necessary for the user can be selected and displayed on the screen, a control system or the like that can display a plurality of types of information accurately can be provided.

(5) For example, a different type of predetermined display may be selected for each display content, and the predetermined type of display content may be displayed. However, in this case, when it is desired to display a predetermined type of display different from the currently selected one, it is necessary to select again to display the predetermined display of that type.

  In view of this, the display content may be switched according to a predetermined switching trigger as the predetermined display. If it does in this way, display contents will change according to a predetermined change trigger, for example within a meter display field on a screen. Therefore, the content of the predetermined display is automatically switched in the meter display area without reselecting the predetermined display type, and there are many selection options for the predetermined display. Thus, it becomes difficult to grasp which option corresponds to which predetermined display, and it does not take time to find a desired option from a large number of options.

(6) It is preferable that the selectable meter display and the selectable predetermined display are displayed on the selection screen for selection by the user without distinguishing them as selection items.
In this way, it is possible to make the user select the meter display or the predetermined display without making it conscious or conscious.

(7) The number of the plurality of meter display areas displayed on the one screen is three, the three meter display areas are provided in the longitudinal direction of the display screen, and the center of the three meter display areas is provided. The meter display area may be configured to have a display mode that is more conspicuous than the other two meter display areas.

  In this way, it is possible to make the meter display area large by making the maximum use of the longitudinal direction of the screen, and by using three, the balance on the screen is improved. Furthermore, the meter display area in the center of the three meter display areas has a display mode that is more prominent than the other two meter display areas. Can be placed.

(8) The number of the plurality of meter display areas displayed on the one screen is three, the three meter display areas are provided in the longitudinal direction of the display screen, and a part of the meter display areas is overlapped. It is preferable that the meter display area that is arranged in front of the overlap is the middle meter display area of the three meter display areas.

In this way, the center meter display area is noticeable as if it is in front of the other two meter display areas. Therefore, for example, the central meter display area can be selected and arranged by positioning the main meter display area and the left and right meter display areas as sub meter display areas.
(9) A plurality of screens including the plurality of meter display areas may be provided, and the screens may be switched and displayed in a predetermined pattern.

In this way, a large number of meter display areas can be displayed without reselection. As the predetermined pattern, for example, a certain time may be elapsed.
(10) It is preferable that at least two screens of the plurality of screens including the plurality of meter display areas have the same format.

In this way, it is possible to increase the possibility that the contents of the meter display area can be visually recognized only by moving the line of sight on the assumption of this same format. In particular, as shown in (13), when the screen is arranged at a position where the driver of the vehicle can visually recognize and the acquired data is data that changes as the vehicle moves, driving is in progress. Since the screen can be visually recognized in a very short time compared to the time when the vehicle front is visually recognized, this effect becomes remarkable.
(11) The meter display may include a plurality of meters in a meter display area.
In this way, a plurality of meters can be visually recognized only by looking inside the meter display area. Therefore, for example, the amount of more physical states can be grasped at a glance.

(12) A screen including a plurality of meter display areas and a screen displaying one meter can be switched and displayed, and the meter display displayed on the screen displaying the one meter and the plurality of meter display areas It is good to set it as the structure which made the detailed display mode different, making the same general display mode with the meter display displayed on either meter display area of a screen provided with.

  In this way, since the outline display mode for the meter display is the same regardless of whether the screen is provided with a plurality of meter display areas or a screen for displaying one meter, the display mode is the same on either screen. You can see at a glance that they are meters that display the same content. On the other hand, since the detailed display mode of both meter displays is different, it is possible to obtain different information by taking a closer look. The detailed display mode may be a more detailed display mode than the general display mode, and the relationship between the two is relative. In particular, when the general display mode is at first glance, the user feels that both are the same. It is good to make it the display mode to be made.

(13) The screen may be arranged at a position where the driver of the vehicle can visually recognize, and the acquired data may be data that changes as the vehicle moves. In this way, in any one of (1) to (12), it is possible for the driver of the vehicle to select and display the display contents of the necessary meter display area, and to display many types of information. It is possible to provide a control system that can display accurately.
(14) The function as the control system according to any one of (1) to (13) may be configured as a program for causing a computer to realize the function.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the control system etc. which can select and display a meter required for a user, and can display many types of information correctly can be provided.

  Next, processing to be executed according to an event that has occurred during execution of the current information display function will be described. During the execution of the current information display function, a process for realizing each function such as a GPS alarm function, a radar wave alarm function, and a radio alarm function is executed according to the event that has occurred. Return to display function execution processing. The priority of each function is set in the order of radar wave warning function, radio alarm function, and GPS alarm function from the highest.

  The GPS alarm function is a process executed by using position information output from the GPS receiver 8 every second as a trigger, and the latitude and 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, and when the desired meter distance becomes a predetermined approach distance (for example, within 1 km), an approach warning sound indicating that is output from the speaker 20. When a screen other than the map screen is currently displayed as an information display function (including an OFF screen), a process for outputting sound is performed in this way. On the other hand, when the map screen is currently displayed as the information display function, in addition to the audio output, as shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B, 10C, 10A, 10B, and 10C in this order. A warning window for drawing an image based on a schematic diagram of approach warning or photo data or the like is superimposed on the map displayed on the map display portion of the map screen (in front) to draw an animation. That is, FIG. 9A shows a state where the distance between the two is not yet within 1 km, and a map is displayed on the map display portion of the map screen, but no alarm window is displayed. When the distance between the two is within 1 km, as shown in FIG. 9B, from the upper left of the map display portion to the lower right direction, the right edge of the alarm window gradually goes to a position slightly to the right of the horizontal center of the map display portion. The display brightness is increased while increasing the size of the alarm window. The manner of gradually increasing the luminance of the display is illustrated as a change from FIG. 9A to FIG. 9B. The window size is a display process similar to the drawing process in the order of FIGS. 11A, 11B, and 11C described later. As animation, the object that shows the shape of the target displayed inside the alarm window is rotated, and the characters prepared for each target such as “WARNING” are displayed in front of it in order from the leftmost character to the right I do. On the upper right side of the map display section, a mini radar is displayed over the map (front). The mini radar is a circular window having a diameter of about a quarter of the horizontal direction of the screen, 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 in the circle as a round object. The radius of the circle corresponds to a distance of 1 km. In the example of FIGS. 9B and 9C, the current position and the position of the target H system are displayed. The distance from the current position to the target is displayed in this circle. 9B and 9C, the distance from the current position to the target is 580 m, FIG. 10A is 500 m, and FIG. 10B is 480 m. The alarm window is erased (FIG. 10C). In addition, as shown in order in FIGS. 9C, 10A, and 10B, when the distance from the target is 500 m or less, the animation is gradually changed to a live-action image. When the distance between the current position and the target object can be regarded as 0, it is determined that the vehicle has passed and the alarm window displaying the photographed image is faded out as shown in FIG. 10C. The process of deleting is performed. The photographed image is actual photograph data obtained by photographing the position of the target.

Such targets include snoozing driving accident points, radar, H system, LH system, speed limit switching point, control area, inspection area, parking monitoring area, N system, traffic monitoring system, intersection monitoring point, signal ignore suppression system , Police station, accident-prone area, frequent on-vehicle area, sudden / continuous curve (highway), branch / junction point (highway), ETC lane advance guidance (highway), service area (highway), parking area (Highway), highway oasis (highway), smart interchange (highway), PA / SA petrol station (highway), tunnel (highway), highway radio reception area (highway), prefectural border notice, roadside There are stations, viewpoint parking, etc., the type information of these targets and the latitude and longitude indicating their 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.

  The radar wave warning function detects a signal corresponding to a microwave (radar wave) in a frequency band emitted from a velocity measuring device (mobile radar or the like (hereinafter simply referred to as “radar”)) by the microwave receiver 4. In this case, the alarm function displays an alarm screen on the display unit 5 and outputs an alarm sound from the speaker 20. For example, when a microwave in a microwave frequency band emitted by a radar is detected by the microwave receiver 4, the voice data stored in the database 19 is read out and the voice “Radar. Speed attention” is output from the speaker 20. Output. During sound output, the alarm lamp 6 is turned on. When a screen other than the map screen is currently displayed as an information display function (including an OFF screen), a process for outputting sound is performed in this way. On the other hand, when the map screen is currently displayed as the information display function, in addition to the audio output, as shown in the order of FIGS. 11 (a), (b), and (c), FIGS. In addition, a warning window for drawing an image based on a schematic diagram of radar wave warning or photographic data is superimposed on (in front of) the map displayed on the map display portion of the map screen to draw an animation. That is, FIG. 11A shows a state in which no radar wave is received by the microwave receiver 4, and a state in which a map is displayed on the map display portion of the map screen but no alarm window is displayed. . When a radar wave is 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 gradually moves from the upper left to the lower right of the map display unit. While increasing the size of the alarm window to a position slightly to the right of the center in the left-right direction, display brightness is increased. As the animation, an object indicating the shape of the target displayed inside the alarm window is rotated, and a character prepared in advance, such as “WARNING”, is displayed in order from the leftmost character to the right. After this display is performed for a certain time (for example, 10 seconds), as shown in the order of FIGS. 12 (a), (b), and (c), a process of gradually changing the animation into an image photograph image of this speed measuring device is performed. When the radar wave is not received, the alarm window displaying the image photograph is faded out as shown in FIGS. 13A, 13B, and 13C in order.

  The wireless alarm function is a function for issuing an alarm so that the wireless receiver 15 does not interfere with traveling or the like when a radio wave emitted by an emergency vehicle or the like is received. In the radio alarm function, the control radio, car radio, digital radio, special radio, police radio, police phone, police activity radio, wrecker radio, heli tele radio, fire helicopter radio, fire fight radio, emergency radio, expressway radio , Scan the frequency of the security radio, etc., and when the radio is received at the scanned frequency, a schematic diagram showing that the radio corresponding to the frequency stored in the database 19 for each radio type is received as an alarm screen While displaying on the display part 5, the audio | voice data memorize | stored for every radio | wireless classification in the database 19 are read, and the alarm sound which shows the radio | wireless classification from the speaker 20 is output. For example, when a control radio is received, a voice is output like “control radio. Speed attention”. During sound output, the alarm lamp 6 is turned on. When a screen other than the map screen is currently displayed as an information display function (including an OFF screen), a process for outputting sound is performed in this way. On the other hand, when the map screen is currently displayed as the information display function, for example, a display indicating that the alarm is a wireless alarm is shown in FIGS. 14 (a), (b) and (c). Except for this, the same processing as the radar wave warning function is performed.

  The radar detector according to the present embodiment includes an AUTO display target screen selection function for selecting a screen in a format to be displayed by switching every other minute when the AUTO display screen is selected. In addition, when the AUTO display screen is selected as the display function of the AUTO screen, only the screen of the format selected by this AUTO display target screen selection function is displayed as the format screen to be switched every other minute. A screen in a format not selected by the display target screen selection function performs processing that is not subject to switching display.

  The AUTO display target screen selection function is started by screen transition by detecting the following operation. First, in any screen display state, when pressing of the setting button of the remote controller 17 or the switch unit 3 is detected, the setting screen of FIG. 15 is displayed. In this state, when a touch on the display position of the “standby” button at the upper left corner is detected by the touch panel of the display unit 5 (hereinafter simply referred to as a touch detected), the standby shown in FIG. Display the receiving screen setting screen. When a touch on the upper right “auto item” button is detected on this screen, the auto item setting screen 1/2 shown in FIG. 16A is displayed.

  This auto item setting screen 1/2 has a screen title display section “auto item 1/2” in the upper part, a “EXIT” button, a “BACK” button, a blank, and a right arrow button in the lower part in order from the left to the right. A button display unit is provided. A switching screen selection button display section is provided between the screen title section and the control button display section. The switching screen selection button display unit displays a total of seven toggle buttons having four buttons on the first line and three buttons on the second line. When a touch on the right arrow button provided in the control button display unit is detected, the auto item setting screen 2/2 shown in FIG. 16B is displayed in the OBD2 connection state, and in the OBD2 non-connection state, FIG. The auto item setting screen 2/2 shown in c) is displayed. The auto item setting screen 2/2 has the same configuration as the auto item setting screen 1/1 and displays a total of six toggle buttons having four buttons on the first line and two buttons on the second line. The auto item setting screen 2/2 in the OBD2 connected state and the OBD2 disconnected state is the same except that in the OBD2 disconnected state, the fuel consumption screen and the OBD data screen that are not subject to switching display are grayed out and cannot be switched. It is. Hereinafter, an example of the OBD2 connection state will be described. In the control button display section at the bottom of the auto item setting screen 2/2, the right arrow button displayed on the auto item setting screen 1/1 is blank, and the control button display portion is blank on the auto item setting screen 1/1. Display the left arrow button. When a touch on the left arrow button is detected, an auto item setting screen 1/2 shown in FIG. In this way, the auto item setting screen is divided into the auto item setting screen 1/2 shown in FIG. 16A and the auto item setting screen 2/2 shown in FIG. 16B by the right arrow button and the left arrow button. It is possible to switch to each other (page switching is possible), and a toggle button is displayed indicating whether or not 13 items are to be switched and displayed in combination with the auto item setting screen 1/2 and the auto item setting screen 2/2. Will be. When a touch on the “EXIT” button is detected, the process returns to the process before the touch on the setting button of the remote controller 17 or the switch unit 3 is detected. If a touch on the “BACK” button is detected, the screen returns to the standby screen setting screen shown in FIG. 15B, which is the previous screen. The process at the time of touching the button of the control button display unit is the same process in other figures of this embodiment.

  In the auto item setting screen 1/2 of FIG. 16A, a “clock” button for setting whether or not the clock screen is to be switched and displayed in the first row and the first column, the first row and the second column. “Speed” button for setting whether or not to display the speed screen as a switching display target “Eco driving” for setting whether or not the eco-drive screen is the switching display target in the first row and third column Button “Acceleration” button for setting whether or not to display the acceleration screen in the first row and fourth column, and whether or not the tilt screen is the target for switching display in the second row and first column “Tilt” button for setting the tide information screen in the 2nd row and 2nd column, “Tide information” button for setting whether to display the tide information screen in the 2nd row and 2nd column, and switching the graph screen in the 2nd and 3rd column A “graph” button for setting whether or not to be a target is provided. In the auto item setting screen 2/2 in FIG. 16B, a “preset A” button for setting whether or not the preset A screen is to be switched and displayed in the first row and the first column, the first row and the second column. “Preset B” button for setting whether or not the preset A screen is subject to switching display in the eye, for setting whether or not the preset C screen is subject to switching display in the first row and third column “Preset C” button “Positioning information” button for setting whether or not the positioning information screen is to be switched and displayed in the first row and fourth column, and the fuel consumption screen in the second row and first column as the switching display target A “fuel consumption” button for setting whether to perform or not, and an “OBD data” button for setting whether or not the OBD data screen is to be switched and displayed in the second row and second column. The button name is displayed on the surface of each button. The button name of each button displays the characters enclosed in square brackets in the above sentence. For example, in the case of a “clock” button, “clock” enclosed in square brackets is displayed as the button name. Each button is a rectangular button having the same size and having a long side in the left-right direction surrounding these characters. A space of a predetermined width is provided between each button to prevent erroneous touch.

  At the left end of each button, an indicator portion is provided on the left end portion of each button to indicate an image of a strip-shaped LED lamp that is lit in green and is thinner than the button width from the upper end to the lower end. This indicator takes a lighting state and a non-lighting state. When a touch on the 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 it is a lighting state, it will be set as a non-lighting state, and if it is a non-lighting state, it will be set as a lighting state. When the indicator is in the lit state, the screen corresponding to the button is a target for switching display, and when the indicator is not lit, the screen corresponding to the button is stored in the database 19 as a setting not to be the target for switching display. . This storage process is performed when there is a change in the lighting state of the indicator. For example, when the pressing of the “EXIT” button is detected and the display of the AUTO screen is selected as shown in FIG. 3B, the processing of the AUTO display screen is started, and the target of the switching display As described above, only the screen stored in the database 19 is switched every minute. In the following description, it is assumed that the display of the AUTO screen is selected as shown in FIG.

  FIGS. 16 (a) and 16 (b) show examples in which the indicators are lit in all buttons. This state is the default state described above. When a touch on the “EXIT” button is detected in this state, 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 consumption screen, OBD data screen The format screen is switched every minute. After the OBD data screen is displayed for 1 minute, the screen returns to the clock screen, and thereafter the display is switched in the same manner.

  FIG. 17A shows an example in which the indicators of the “clock” button on the auto item setting screen 1/2 are not lit and the indicators of the other buttons are lit. 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. When a touch on the “EXIT” button is detected in this state, all the screens except the clock screen are set as objects for switching display. That is, the screen of each format in the order of 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 Is displayed every other minute. After the OBD data screen is displayed for 1 minute, the display returns to the speed screen, and thereafter the display is switched in the same manner. The clock is displayed in the upper right corner of each format screen, so users who do not need to be the target of switching display can touch each button to set such an indicator. The clock screen can be prevented from being switched and displayed.

  FIG. 17B shows an example in which the indicators of the “clock” button and the “tide information” button are not lit and the indicators of the other buttons are lit. 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. When a touch on the “EXIT” button is detected in this state, all the screens except the clock screen and the tide information screen are to be switched. That is, the screens of each format are arranged every minute 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 display. After the OBD data screen is displayed for 1 minute, the display returns to the speed screen, and thereafter the display is switched in the same manner. The clock screen and the tide information screen depend only on the date and time and do not change as the vehicle travels. Therefore, a user who wants to know the current state that changes as the vehicle travels can switch between the clock screen and the tide information screen by touching and setting each button so that the indicator is in this state. Only the screen of the format that displays the current state that changes as the vehicle travels can be switched and displayed.

  FIG. 17C shows an example in which the indicators of all seven buttons on the auto item setting screen 1/2 are not lit. 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, Assume that the indicators of the “fuel consumption” button and the “OBD data” button are not lit. When a touch on the “EXIT” button is detected in this state, the screens of the respective formats are switched and displayed every minute in the order of the preset A screen, the preset B screen, and the preset C screen. After the preset C screen is displayed for 1 minute, the display returns to the preset A screen, and thereafter the display is switched in the same manner. In this way, the user can repeatedly display three types of the triple meter preset by the user, and can prevent the display of screens in other formats. By reducing the number of screens to be selected in this way, it is possible to reduce the time required for one repeat display (in this example, the time required for one repeat display is 3 minutes). Further, for example, when all of these three preset screen meters are set to different types of meters, a total of nine types of meters can be confirmed in 3 minutes.

  Next, processing for setting the type of information display displayed on the preset A screen, preset B screen, and preset C screen will be described. This setting process is started by screen transition by detecting the following operation. As described above, when the pressing of the setting button of the remote controller 17 or the switch unit 3 is detected in any screen display state, the setting screen of FIG. 15 is displayed. In this state, when a touch on the “standby” button at the upper left corner is detected, a standby screen setting screen shown in FIG. 15B is displayed. When a touch on the “Preset A” button, “Preset B” button, and “Preset C” button on the second line is detected on this screen, a preset information setting screen related to the preset is displayed. Here, an example in which the “preset A” button is touched will be described. The same processing is performed when the “Preset B” button or the “Preset C” button is touched.

  When the “Preset A” button is touched, a preset information setting screen as shown in FIG. 19A is displayed. Like the auto item setting screen, the preset information setting screen has a screen title display section called “Preset A” at the top, a control button display section with “EXIT” button and “BACK” button in order from left to right at the bottom. Between the screen title part and the control button display part, three information display types are arranged at positions corresponding to the left position meter display area, the middle position meter display area, and the right position meter display area in FIG. An information display type setting button display section having buttons is provided. That is, the information display type setting button display section is a left position information display type setting button for setting the type of information display displayed in the left position meter display area arranged at the lower left position, and the middle position meter display arranged at the center upper position. Middle position information display type setting button for setting the type of information display to be displayed in the area, Right position information display type setting for setting the type of information display to be displayed in the right position meter display area located at the lower right position Provide buttons. On each button, a character string indicating the currently set information display type is displayed. As for the type of information display, in the default state, for the preset A screen, as shown in FIG. 19A, the left position meter display area is the clock, the middle position meter display area is the vehicle speed, and the right position meter display area is the eco drive. It is set. An example in which the preset A screen is displayed in this state is the display example of FIG. That is, according to the setting of each information display type setting button, the clock is displayed in the left position meter display area, the vehicle speed is displayed in the middle position meter display area, and the eco-drive information is displayed in the right position meter display area.

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

  In the display state of FIG. 19A, processing for changing the type of information display displayed in the middle position meter display area from vehicle speed to acceleration as shown in FIG. 19B will be described. The type of information display is changed in the same way for the left position meter display area and the right position meter display area.

  When a touch on the middle position information display type setting button is detected, an information display type selection screen shown in FIG. 20A is displayed. The information display type selection screen includes a control button display unit having a return button from the top, a blank, an up arrow button, and a down arrow button in the up and down direction on the right side, and four information display type buttons in the up and down direction on the left side. When a touch on the down arrow button is detected, the four information display type buttons are scrolled up.

  As shown in FIG. 20 (a), the information display type currently set secondly from the top is first displayed. Since the setting of the middle position information display type setting button in FIG. 19A is “vehicle speed”, “vehicle speed” is displayed on the second information display type button from the top, and this information display type button is highlighted. Displayed to indicate the current selection state.

  If a touch on the down arrow button is detected in this state, the display shown in FIG. That is, the information display type button that was displayed second from the top is moved to the top, the information display type button that was displayed third from the top is moved to the second from the top, and the fourth ( The information display type button displayed at the bottom is moved to the third from the top, and the information display type buttons newly set in the following order are displayed from the top to the fourth (the bottom). As a result, in this example, as shown in FIG. 20B, the vehicle speed information display type button is moved to the top. FIG. 20C shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is further detected three 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. FIG. 21B shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is detected three more times from the state of FIG. FIG. 21C shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is detected three more times from the state of FIG. FIG. 22A shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is detected three more times from the state of FIG. FIG. 22B shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is detected three more times from the state of FIG. FIG. 22C shows a display example when the touch of the down arrow button is detected several more times from the state of FIG. The display state in FIG. 22C is the same as the display state in FIG. In this way, the information display type buttons are cyclically displayed in a scrolling manner, thereby presenting choices of information display types that can be set.

  As shown in FIG. 20A and FIG. 20B, when a touch to the position of the information display type button of acceleration is detected as the information display type button, the highlight display is the button of the touched button. While moving to the information display type button, the setting of the medium position information display type of preset A in the database 19 is changed to “acceleration” and stored. If a touch on the return button is detected in this state, the display on the middle position information display type setting button is changed to “acceleration” as shown in FIG. When the preset A screen is displayed with this setting, as shown in FIG. 23, the middle position meter becomes an “acceleration” meter as shown in FIG.

  In this way, the user can set the type of information display to be displayed in each meter display area on each preset screen, and can display the information.

In the case of the AUTO display setting, when the preset screen is selected as the target for switching display, the preset screen set by the user in this way can be the target for switching display.
Next, major types of meters that can be selected on the information display type selection screen will be described.

FIG. 26C is an example of information display of general road average fuel consumption. FIG. 26D shows an example of information display of the expressway average fuel consumption. FIG. 27A shows an example of information display of fuel consumption this time. FIG. 27B is an example of information display of lifetime fuel consumption. FIG. 27C is an example of information display of moving average fuel consumption. FIG. 27D is an example of information display of the fuel flow rate. FIG. 28A is an example of information display of engine water temperature. FIG. 28B is an example of information display of intake air temperature. FIG. 28C is an example of information display of outside air temperature. FIG. 28D shows an example of battery voltage information display. FIG. 29A is an example of information display of the throttle opening. FIG. 29B is an example of information display of engine load. FIG. 29C is an example of information display of an intake manifold. FIG. 29D is an example of boost meter information display. FIG. 30 shows an example of tachometer information display. Each figure is a figure when each information display is selected as the middle position meter display area. These are illustrated as rectangles where the position of the middle position meter is cut out, but the information displayed in the circular frame is the same when information is displayed in the right position meter display area and the left position meter display area.
The information display of the timepiece is a predetermined display, and as shown in FIG. 24A, it is an analog hand type timepiece and displays the time.

  The vehicle speed information display is a meter display. As shown in FIG. 24B, the vehicle speed acquired from the GPS receiver 8 is displayed as an analog meter and a numeral. The analog meter draws a needle in the radial direction from the center of the circular meter display area toward the circumference, and the needle points to the 7 o'clock direction when the speed is 0 km / h, and the speed is 160 km / h. At this time, the drawing is performed by changing the direction indicated by the needle clockwise as the speed increases so as to indicate the direction of 3 o'clock. The numbers are displayed with a unit of km / h in a sector-shaped area approximately in the range from 3 o'clock to 7 o'clock. The analog meter has a different background color such as gray and the number background color is black.

  The eco-drive information display is a meter display, as shown in FIG. 24 (c), where rapid acceleration is shown on the upper side, rapid deceleration on the right side, idling on the lower side, and economic speed on the left side as a radar chart. Each point is displayed with 100 points (displayed as 100 pt) as the upper limit and 0 pt as the lower limit. The initial value of each point is 70 pt, and points are deducted when the output of acceleration from the acceleration sensor 27 and the output of speed from the GPS receiver 8 are determined to be not eco-driving, and are judged to be eco-driving. When the output state is reached, a numerical value of each point and a graph in which the numerical value is plotted on the radar chart are displayed.

  The eco-drive information display has the same configuration as the radar chart display section of the eco-drive screen illustrated in FIG. 5B, but with a different detailed display mode.

As shown in FIG. 24D, the acceleration information display is configured to include a plurality of meters in the meter display area as a meter display. The first meter is a circle that is slightly above the center of the circle in the meter display area and is centered at about one half of the radius of the circle, and its diameter is the radius of the meter display area. Draw in the area. The second meter is a circle that has a center at a position about one-half of the radius of the circle slightly above the center position of the circle of the meter display area and whose diameter is the radius of the meter display area. Draw in the area. The first meter on the left displays acceleration in the left-right direction, and the second meter on the right displays acceleration in the front-rear direction. The acceleration in the front-rear direction and the acceleration in the left-right direction are respectively displayed as numerical values in a fan-shaped region in the range from 3 o'clock to 7 o'clock as in the vehicle speed information display of FIG. This number is underlined. Then, a continuous line is drawn from the left end of the underline of the acceleration value in the left-right direction toward the outer edge portion of the first meter. Similarly, a continuous line is drawn from the left end of the underline of the acceleration value in the longitudinal direction toward the outer edge portion of the second meter. This line makes it easy to see which number shows which meter.
An explanatory diagram of the first meter is shown on the right side of FIG. 31, and an explanatory diagram of the second meter is shown on the left side of FIG. Both the first meter and the second meter have a long hand and a short hand.

  As shown on the right side of FIG. 31, the first meter moves the long hand so that the 12 o'clock direction is set to 0G, the base point is 3 o'clock when 0.5G, and 9 o'clock when −0.5G. . The long hand is moved to a position corresponding to a maximum of 0.75G and a minimum of -0.75G. If it exceeds, hold. The short hand represents a change in acceleration by rotation at 0.03 G / 360 degrees (one round). That is, it makes one rotation from the base point with an acceleration of 0.03G. Rotate clockwise as positive acceleration.

  As shown on the left side of FIG. 31, the second meter moves the long hand so that the 3 o'clock direction is set to 0G, the base point is 3 o'clock when 0.5G, and 9 o'clock when −0.5G. . The long hand is moved to a position corresponding to a maximum of 0.75G and a minimum of -0.75G. If it exceeds, hold. The short hand represents a change in acceleration by rotation at 0.03 G / 360 degrees (one round). That is, it makes one rotation from the base point with an acceleration of 0.03G. Rotate clockwise as positive acceleration.

  Thus, by shifting the base point positions of the first meter and the second meter by 90 degrees, it is possible to easily grasp which direction the acceleration is indicated. Also, by shifting the base point position of the first meter and the second meter by 90 degrees and making the scale the same, it is possible to easily compare the magnitude of acceleration in the left-right direction and the magnitude of acceleration in the front-rear direction. it can.

  Furthermore, since the short hand rotates once from the base point with an acceleration of 0.03 G, a slight change in acceleration can be grasped as an angular velocity of the rotation of the needle. Further, a slight change in acceleration can be grasped by the angular velocity of the rotation of the short hand, and the absolute acceleration can be grasped simultaneously by the absolute value of the acceleration indicated by the long hand. The scale of the long hand has a maximum value of 0.75 G, which is the maximum value that can be taken during normal driving, and the movable range is plus or minus 135 degrees from the base point. Can be absolutely specified.

  For example, when the vehicle starts or stops, a large acceleration of, for example, about 0.3 G is generated, while there is only a slight change of 0.1 G or less during traveling. By providing a long hand and a short hand like the first meter and the second meter, the situation of both can be accurately grasped.

  The information display of the inclination is a meter display, and as shown in FIG. 25 (a), the inclination of the vehicle 30 degrees forward / backward and left / right is displayed by the movement of the sphere. The tilt information display is almost the same as the display of the tilt image display section on the tilt screen shown in FIG. 6A (in fact, it is similar and the tilt information display is more than the display of the tilt image display section on the tilt screen). However, it is different in that it has a detailed display configuration. That is, as a detailed display, as shown in FIG. 32, the acceleration output value of the acceleration sensor 27 in the lateral direction of the vehicle (either in the right direction or the left direction) becomes 0.1 G or more as a trigger. The upper white portion of the sphere image of 25 (a) is made transparent, and the lower black portion hemisphere is displayed in gray. The upper surface of the lower hemisphere (the boundary surface between the upper and lower hemispheres (the equator) A white disk having the same radius as the radius of the hemisphere is drawn on the surface passing through)), and an image on which a 3D object of a car is placed is displayed. The 3D object of the automobile is rotated and displayed on the upper surface of the lower hemisphere in accordance with the direction of the current traveling direction detected by the geomagnetic sensor 28. The vertical back direction of the screen shown in FIG. 32 is north, the vertical front direction is south, the horizontal right direction of the screen is east, and the horizontal left direction of the screen is west. The car in the ball is displayed with the tail lamp side parallel to the screen surface when the car is heading to the north, so that the entire tail lamp side can be seen. As shown in FIG. 32, a red marker is attached in a vertical band at a position indicating the traveling direction around the disk. The state of FIG. 32 is a state in which it faces south-southeast, the front of the vehicle is displayed slightly to the right, and the marker is also displayed at a slightly right position. Then, this display is continued for 3 seconds after the acceleration output value of the acceleration sensor 7 in the lateral direction of the vehicle (either in the right direction or the left direction) becomes less than 0.1 G, and the original FIG. Return to the display. As described above, when the turning motion is detected based on the lateral G of a certain level or more of the car, the car in the ball can be seen for a certain time, and the turning motion is expressed. In this way, the situation of the turn can be confirmed by the detailed display.

  The information display of the tide information is a predetermined display because it displays the tide level calculated based on the data, not the measured amount, and the tide information described with reference to FIG. 6 as shown in FIG. 25 (b). Although the contents displayed on the screen are displayed, the outline display mode is also different. Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 33 (a), information on tide information that displays the place name of the tide station, etc. closest to the current position, the age of the current date, and the tide name is displayed. Then, when 10 seconds have elapsed, the information of the tide information for displaying the time and tide level of the first low tide and the time and tide level of the high tide as shown in FIG. 33 (b) is displayed. Then, when 10 seconds have elapsed since the display of the tide information meter shown in FIG. 33 (b), as shown in FIG. 33 (c), the tide that displays the time and tide level of the second low tide of the day, and the time and tide level of high tide. Display information information. Then, when 10 seconds have elapsed since the display of the tide information shown in FIG. 33 (c), the display returns to the information display of the tide information shown in FIG. 33 (a). Then, once again, the information display of the tide information on the screen of FIG. 33 (a) is displayed for 10 seconds and switched to the information display of the tide information on the screen of FIG. 33 (b). Will switch.

  The information display of the satellite information is a predetermined display because the amount is not displayed, and as shown in FIG. 25C, the upper direction is north, the lower direction is south, the right direction is east, as shown in FIG. The grid is displayed with the left direction as the west. The grid has three concentric circles with different radii centered on the vehicle position and a line that passes through the center position in the horizontal and vertical directions (but no line is drawn in the concentric circle with the smallest radius). . A circle satellite object is drawn at a position corresponding to the position of the satellite acquired by the GPS receiver 8.
