JP 2006-96249 A

  In the vehicle as described above, the display of the vehicle information display device is one of communication tools. Therefore, when the vehicle information display device is activated, a certain kind of opening screen is displayed on the display so that the driver is informed that the device has been activated properly, similar to when the personal computer is activated. Is desirable.

  By the way, in recent vehicles, it is considered that the vehicle-mounted device is activated in accordance with the opening operation of the door by the driver so that the vehicle-mounted device can be used quickly and without stress after getting on the vehicle. A similar study is also underway for the start-up timing. In such a vehicle, the start of the vehicle information display device is started prior to the driver's key operation (or button operation), but the display is performed together with the start of the vehicle information display device without performing the key operation. It is uncomfortable to start displaying the opening screen. Therefore, it is desirable that the opening screen is started by the driver's key operation, but the time from the door opening operation to the key operation is not necessarily constant. In such a situation, if an opening screen with a fixed period of time is always displayed, not only will the driver be stressed when there is a relatively long time between the opening of the door and the key operation, the key operation The meaning of starting the in-vehicle device prior to this will be diminished.

  The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above, and is a technology capable of appropriately notifying a rider that the vehicle information display device is normally activated without causing stress. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a vehicle information display device having a display provided at a predetermined position in a vehicle cabin that is visible to a driver, and is an image displayed on the display. , A storage means for storing image data of a predetermined opening screen, and a process for starting the vehicle information display device in accordance with the opening operation of the driver side door accompanied by the key release, and the start of the start process And a control means for displaying the opening screen on the display as the accessory switch of the vehicle is turned on, and the control means is turned on before the start-up process is completed. Sometimes, the front of the accessory switch is turned on so that the opening screen ends almost simultaneously with the completion of the activation process. Boot process to edit the image data of the opening screen in accordance with the remaining time to complete, but for displaying the opening screen on the display based on the image data.

  In this vehicle information display device, when the driver's side door opening operation with unlocking is performed, the startup process is started, and then the accessory switch is turned on to display the opening screen on the display. Is done. Therefore, the driver can visually recognize that the device is properly activated by the opening screen. In particular, when the accessory switch is turned on before the activation process is completed, the image data of the opening screen is edited so that the opening screen is terminated almost simultaneously with the completion of the activation process. That is, the opening screen ends almost simultaneously with the completion of the activation process, regardless of the time from the door opening operation to the accessory switch on operation. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the stress applied to the driver as compared to the case where the opening screen for a certain time is always displayed regardless of the timing of turning on the accessory switch.

  In the vehicle information display device, the image data editing method by the control means may be, for example, to end the opening screen halfway. However, in this case, it may be possible to give the driver anxiety or discomfort that some abnormality has occurred during the startup process. Such inconvenience is solved by the following configuration. That is, the opening screen includes a loop image that repeatedly displays a predetermined unit image, and the control unit changes the number of repetitions of the unit image as editing of the image data.

  According to this configuration, since the number of repetitions of the unit image in the loop image is only changed, it is possible to change the display time of the opening screen without giving the driver the impression that the opening screen has ended midway. . Therefore, it is possible to prevent the driver from feeling uneasy or uncomfortable as described above. In addition, since a relatively simple process of changing the number of unit image repetitions is required, the control load is small, and the display time of the opening screen can be changed without affecting the activation process.

  In the vehicle information display device, when the accessory switch is turned on after the start-up process is completed, the control unit displays the opening screen on the display by setting the number of repetitions of the unit image to “1”. It is preferable that the

  According to this configuration, the display time of the opening screen can be shortened as much as possible while notifying the driver that the startup process of the device has been properly completed on the opening screen, thereby reducing stress on the driver. Is possible.

  In the vehicle information display device, the control means displays a menu screen for calling a function of the in-vehicle device or information on the function of the in-vehicle device on the display after the opening screen ends. Is preferred.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to quickly use the vehicle information display device for which the start-up process has been completed for the use of a desired in-vehicle device.

  As described above, according to the vehicle information display device of the present invention, it is possible to appropriately notify that the device is normally activated without causing stress to the rider.

  An audio device 25 is mounted on the front portion of the center console 4. The audio device 25 is a device that reproduces music or video, and includes a CD / DVD player, an AM / FM tuner, and the like.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the vehicle information display device 20 (hereinafter abbreviated as the information display device 20). As shown in FIG. 2, the information display device 20 includes a communication unit 21 (hereinafter abbreviated as CMU 21) in addition to the display 22.

  The CMU 21 is a control device based on a well-known microcomputer, and includes a central processing unit (CPU) that executes programs, a memory that stores programs and various data such as ROM and RAM, and input / output of electric signals. Input / output (I / O) bus. The CMU 21 controls the display of the display 22 and the like. The CMU 21 displays a later-described menu screen on the display 22, and based on signals input from the operation unit 6 based on the menu screen, Various functions are called, information on the functions (for example, operation screens) is displayed on the display 22, and signals from the display 22 by touch operations on the display 22 are received, and various functions corresponding to the input signals are executed. As described above, signals are output to various in-vehicle devices.

  As shown in the figure, the vehicle of this example is equipped with a navigation device 26 and a communication device (not shown) as an in-vehicle device in addition to the HUD 24 and the audio device 25 described above.

  The navigation device 26 is a device that provides road map information and provides route guidance to a destination, and obtains a receiver that receives GPS radio waves, a recording medium on which road map information is recorded, and a recommended route to the destination. It includes an arithmetic unit for performing such operations. The communication device is a device that performs communication processing such as a call to the outside and transmission / reception of mail, and transmits / receives various data such as voice data via a wireless network of a mobile phone, for example.

  In-vehicle devices such as the navigation device 26 including the operation unit 6 are electrically connected to the CMU 21, and the CMU 21 displays the menu screen for calling functions of these various in-vehicle devices on the display 22. FIG. 8 shows an example of a menu screen displayed on the display 22 under the control of the CMU 21. This menu screen is a screen that is displayed after an opening screen that will be described later when the accessory switch (hereinafter referred to as ACC switch) of the vehicle is turned on. In this menu screen, a total of five icons 41 to 45 are displayed side by side. These icons 41 to 45 are associated with functions of various in-vehicle devices, and appropriate icons are selected when calling the respective functions. In this example, for the icons 41 to 45, a function for calling a preset application in that order, a function for calling an operation screen of the navigation device 26, and a communication process such as a call and mail using a communication device are performed. Are assigned a function for calling an operation screen, a function for calling a navigation screen based on information provided from the navigation device 26, and a function for calling an operation screen for performing various settings of in-vehicle devices. That is, when a desired icon is selected on the menu screen 55 by the operation of the operation unit 6 (dial switch 6a) or the touch operation of the display 22, the CMU 21 outputs a signal to the corresponding in-vehicle device. Based on the information output from the in-vehicle device, the operation screen or the like is displayed on the display 22.

  The CMU 21 activates the information display device 20 at the timing when the driver gets into the vehicle after the key is released, and displays a predetermined opening screen on the display 22 prior to the display of the menu screen at the time of activation. Let That is, when the information display device 20 is activated, an opening screen is displayed on the display 22 so that the driver is informed that the information display device 20 has been activated properly, similarly to when the personal computer is activated. It has become. Hereinafter, this point will be described in detail.

  As illustrated in FIG. 3, the CMU 21 includes a display control unit 21 a, an image editing unit 21 b, and an image data storage unit 21 c as functional configurations for displaying the opening screen on the display 22. In this example, the display control unit 21a and the image editing unit 21b correspond to the control unit of the present invention, and the image data storage unit 21c corresponds to the storage unit of the present invention.

  The display control unit 21a detects the opening operation of the door on the driver's seat accompanied by the key release, thereby starting the activation process of the CMU 21 (information display device 20) being stopped, and after starting the activation process, By detecting that the ACC switch is turned on, the image data of the opening screen stored in the image data storage unit 21c is read, and the opening screen is displayed on the display 22.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the CMU 21 is connected to a keyless communication unit 27, a door control unit 28, and the like via an in-vehicle network 30 such as a CAN (Controller Area Network), and the display control unit 21a includes: The activation process is started by acquiring a key release signal from the keyless communication unit 27 and a door opening operation signal from the door control unit 28. In addition, the display control unit 21 a displays an opening screen on the display 22 by acquiring an ON operation signal from the ACC switch via the in-vehicle network 30.

  As described above, the image data storage unit 21c stores the image data of the opening screen. In addition to the image data of the opening screen, the image data storage unit 21c also stores the above-described menu screen, image data of an approach screen described later for connecting the opening screen to the menu screen, and the like.

  The image editing unit 21b edits the image data of the opening screen in order to change the display time of the opening screen displayed on the display 22. Specifically, when the ON operation signal from the ACC switch is input to the display control unit 21a before the activation process of the CMU 21 (information display device 20) is completed, the activation process is almost completed. At the same time, a process for changing the image data of the opening screen is executed so that the opening screen ends. Further, when an ON operation signal is input from the ACC switch to the display control unit 21a after the activation process of the CMU 21 is completed, the image data of the opening screen is displayed so that the display time of the opening screen is minimized. Execute the process to make changes.

  Hereinafter, an example of specific display control of the opening screen and the like by the CMU 21 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the processing shown in this flowchart is started, the display control unit 21a waits for the opening operation of the door on the driver's seat side, and specifically, the unlocking signal from the keyless communication unit 27 and the door control unit. When the door opening operation signal from 28 is input (step S1) and the door opening operation is performed, the activation process of the CMU 21 (information display device 20) is started (step S3). Here, the activation process is a process for receiving the activation power from the vehicle battery and activating the system of the CMU 21.

  When the activation process is started, the display control unit 21a waits for the ACC switch to be turned on (step S5), and determines whether a predetermined activation time has elapsed when the ACC switch is turned on. (Step S7). Here, the activation time is a time required for completing the activation process of the CMU 21. In this example, it is 11 seconds. The display control unit 21a includes a countdown timer (not shown), and activates the countdown timer based on the input of a door opening operation signal from the door control unit 28. Then, the determination process of step S7 is performed based on the timer value of the countdown timer at the time when the ON operation signal from the ACC switch is input (remaining time until the activation process of the CMU 21 is completed).

  When the display control unit 21a determines NO in the process of step S7, that is, when it is determined that the activation time of the CMU 21 has not elapsed, the image editing unit 21b remains until the activation time of the CMU 21 has elapsed. Based on the time (time value of the count gown timer), a process of changing the image data of the opening screen is executed so that the opening screen ends almost simultaneously with the completion of the activation process (step S9).

  Here, specific contents of the opening screen and processing for changing the image data of the opening screen by the image editing unit 21b will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 is a timing chart showing the opening screen displayed on the display 22 in time series with the activation of the CMU 21 (information display device 20). Incidentally, T ₀ point in the figure is when the door opening operation signal from the door control unit 28 is input to the display control unit 21a, that is, indicates the time when the activation process of CMU21 is disclosed, T ₁ time Indicates a point in time when the activation process of the CMU 21 is completed. Moreover, the code | symbol 50 in the figure has shown the opening screen.

  As shown in the upper part of FIG. 5, the opening screen 50 is displayed after the first-second black screen image 51 that is displayed first, the still-second animated image 52 that is displayed next to the black-screen image 51. Loop image 53 to be displayed. The loop image 53 is an image in which a 1-second animation movie 53a (corresponding to a unit image of the present invention) is repeated a plurality of times. The still animation image 52 is an image (still image) showing a vehicle manufacturer symbol mark 46 as shown in FIG. 6, for example, and the animation video 53a is around the symbol mark 46 as shown in FIG. It is an image (moving image) in which the light ball 47 turns.

In this example, as described above, the activation time of the CMU 21 (time of T _{0 to} T ₁ ) is 11 seconds. Based on this activation time, as shown in the upper part of FIG. The number of loops (reference repetition count) is set to 5 times. That is, the average time from when the driver unlocks the key, opens the door, gets into the driver's seat, and turns on the ignition (IGN) (turns on the ACC switch) is statistically almost 3 seconds. By setting the number of loops of the animation video 53a in the loop image 53 to five (that is, the total time of the opening screen 50 is 8 seconds), the opening screen 50 is finished almost simultaneously with the completion of the activation process of the CMU 21. It has become.

  However, the time from when the driver gets into the driver's seat and turns on the ignition (IGN) (turns on the ACC switch) is naturally not constant. For example, when it exceeds 3 seconds as shown in the middle of FIG. Second). In such a case, the image editing unit 21b closes the opening screen almost simultaneously with the completion of the activation process based on the remaining time (the timer value of the count gown timer) until the activation time of the CMU 21 elapses. As described above, the process of changing the image data on the opening screen 50 is executed. Specifically, the number of loops of the animation movie 53a included in the loop image 53 is reduced. For example, in the middle example of FIG. 5, the display control unit 21a sets the number of loops of the animation video 53a to 2 to shorten the display time of the loop image 53 from 5 seconds to 2 seconds (that is, the opening screen The total time of 50 is shortened to 5 seconds), so that the opening screen is completed at the same time as the activation process of the CMU 21 is completed.

  In the process of step S9 in FIG. 4, the image editing unit 21b sets the number of loops of the animation video 53a so that the opening screen is finished almost simultaneously with the completion of the CMU 21 activation process. Then, the display control unit 21a reads the image data stored in the image data storage unit 21c, and displays the opening screen 50 on the display 22 based on the number of loops of the loop image 53a set in step S9 (step S11). . That is, the display control unit 21a and the image editing unit 21b edit the image data of the opening screen 50 as necessary so that the opening screen is completed before the activation process of the CMU 21 is completed.

  When the display control unit 21a determines YES in the process of step S7, that is, when it is determined that the activation time of the CMU 21 has elapsed, the image editing unit 21b displays the display time of the opening screen 50. A process of changing the opening screen 50 image data is executed so as to be the shortest. Specifically, the number of loops of the animation movie 53a is set to “1” (step S15). Then, the display control unit 21a displays the opening screen 50 on the display 22 based on the set number of times (“1”) (step S17). That is, the display control unit 21a, as in the example shown in the lower part of FIG. 5, has an opening screen 50 for a total of 4 seconds including a 1-second black screen image 51, a 2-second still animation image 52, and a 1-second loop image 53. Is displayed on the display 22.

  When the opening screen 50 ends (YES in steps S13 and S19), the display control unit 21a determines whether or not route guidance is performed by the navigation device 26 (step S21). The display control unit 21a reads the image data of the approach screen 54 and the menu screen 55 stored in the image data storage unit 21c, and displays the approach screen 54 so as to be continuous with the opening screen 50. Finally, the menu screen 55 is displayed on the display 22 (step S23).

  The menu screen 55 is the screen shown in FIG. The approach screen 54 is a screen for connecting the opening screen 50 to the menu screen 55. As shown in the upper and middle sections of FIG. 5, a 3-second animation image 54a, a 1-second disclaimer image 54b, including. Although not shown in detail, in this example, the animation image 54 is displayed on the symbol mark (see FIG. 7), after which the symbol mark falls backward, and the icons 41 to 45 are displayed from the symbol mark. It is an image of popping out. As described above, the menu screen 55 is displayed after the opening screen 50 and the approach screen 54 are continuously displayed, so that a kind of stream from the opening screen 50 to the menu screen 55 is produced on the display 22. Will be.

  When the processing of steps S15 to S19 is performed, that is, when the opening screen 50 is displayed after the activation time of the CMU 21 has elapsed, as shown in the lower part of FIG. The animation image 54 a is omitted from the screen 54, and only the disclaimer image 54 b is displayed, and then the menu screen 55 is displayed on the display 22. As described above, by omitting the animation image 54a, the menu screen 55 is displayed on the display 22 more quickly.

  On the other hand, when it is determined YES in the process of step S21, that is, when it is determined that the route guidance is performed by the navigation device 26, the display control unit 21a displays the approach screen 54 and the menu screen 55. Instead, the navigation screen 26 including a map showing the route and various operation icons is displayed on the display 22 by taking in the information from the navigation device 26 (step S25). That is, when the vehicle leaves the vehicle by taking a break during the route guidance by the navigation device 26 and then gets on the vehicle, the driver can display the navigation screen directly on the display 22 without displaying the menu screen 55. The navigation screen can be accessed immediately.

  When the menu screen 55 and the navigation screen are displayed on the display 22 in this way, the display control processing such as the opening screen by the CMU 21 shown in FIG.

  As described above, according to the information display device 20, when the driver unlocks the door on the driver's seat side, the activation process of the CMU 21 (information display device 20) is started, and then the ignition (IGN) ) Is turned on (ACC switch is turned on), as shown in the upper part of FIG. 5, an opening screen 50 indicating that the CMU 21 is in the starting process is displayed on the display 22. When this activation process ends, the menu screen 55 is displayed after the approach screen 54 is displayed. Therefore, the driver can sensuously obtain that the information display device 20 has been activated properly by visually recognizing such an opening screen 50 as in the case of activation of the personal computer.

In particular, in this information display device 20, as described above, when the ignition (IGN) is turned on (ACC switch is turned on) before the activation process of the CMU 21 is completed, the remaining time until the activation time of the CMU 21 elapses. Based on the time, the opening screen 50 is edited so that the opening screen ends almost simultaneously with the completion of the activation process. That is, the display time of the opening screen 50 is shortened. Therefore, as shown in the middle part of FIG. 5, the driver gets into the driver's seat, takes a short break, turns on the ignition (IGN) (turns on the ACC switch), etc. There it is possible to display the ride after the menu screen 55 immediately ignition substantially the same time as when (IGN) oN (the ACC switch oN) and (T ₂ time in FIG. 5). Therefore, the stress applied to the driver can be suppressed as compared with the case where the opening screen is always displayed for a fixed time regardless of the timing when the ACC switch is turned on.

  Moreover, as described above, the opening screen 50 includes the loop image 53 in which the animation video 53a is repeated a plurality of times. The shortening of the opening screen 50 (editing of image data) is a loop of the animation video 53a in the loop image 53. This is done by changing the number of times. Therefore, without giving the driver the impression that the opening screen 50 has been terminated halfway, that is, without giving the driver a sense of anxiety or discomfort that some sort of abnormality has occurred during startup of the information display device 20. The display time can be shortened. In addition, since the display time of the opening screen 50 can be shortened by a relatively simple process of changing the number of repetitions of the animation video 53a, the control burden on the CMU 21 is small. Therefore, the display time of the opening screen 50 can be shortened without affecting the activation process of the CMU 21.

  Also, in this information display device 20, after the driver who has arrived at the driver's seat has sufficiently adjusted his / her surroundings, the ignition (IGN) is turned on (the ACC switch is turned on). When (IGN) is turned on (ACC switch is turned on), as shown in the lower part of FIG. 5, the number of loops of the animation video 53a is “1” so that the display time of the opening screen 50 is the shortest. And a part of the approach screen 54 (animated image 54a) following the opening screen 50 is omitted. Thereby, the screen of the display 22 can be switched to the menu screen 55 as quickly as possible while displaying the opening screen 50 on the display 22. Therefore, after the driver recognizes that the information display device 20 has been properly activated on the opening screen 50, the driver can promptly shift to an operation such as calling an operation screen of a desired in-vehicle device based on the menu screen 55. There is an advantage that you can.

  By the way, the information display device 20 described above is an example of a preferred embodiment of the vehicle information display device according to the present invention, and the specific configuration thereof can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. is there.

  For example, in the opening screen 50 of this embodiment, the reference loop number (reference repetition number) of the animation video 53a in the loop image 53 is set to five times, and the image editing unit 21b waits until the activation time of the CMU 21 has elapsed. By reducing the number of loops in accordance with the remaining time (count value of the count gown timer), the opening screen is terminated almost simultaneously with the completion of the activation process of the CMU 21, but conversely, the reference loop The number may be set to once, and the number of loops may be increased according to the remaining time until the activation time of the CMU 21 elapses.

  In the above embodiment, the opening screen 50, the approach screen 54, and the shift lever 55 are displayed on the display 22 by turning on the ACC switch. However, the approach screen 54 is omitted and immediately after the opening screen 50, the approach screen 54 is displayed. May be displayed. In addition, the specific display contents of the opening screen 50, the approach screen 54, and the shift lever 55 are not limited to those in the above embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate.
