The automatic driving control unit 54 causes the vehicle 12 to automatically travel according to a set operation plan while taking into account position information and environmental information around the vehicle 12. Specifically, the actuator 46 is controlled to cause the vehicle 12 to travel automatically.

The first display instruction section 56 causes the first display section 24 to display the scheduled operation of the vehicle 12 based on the operation plan set by the operation plan setting section 52. The function of the first display instruction section 56 will be explained with reference to FIG. 4(B), FIG. 5(B), and FIG. 6(B).

As shown in FIG. 4(B), the speed set during cruise control and the current speed of the vehicle 12 are displayed in the upper part of the display area of the first display section 24. The set speed and vehicle speed are displayed at the center of the display area of the first display section 24 in the vehicle width direction. The set speed is displayed in small size at the bottom, and is set to 120 km/h here as an example. Further, the current vehicle speed is displayed in the upper row, and is displayed as 58 km/h. Therefore, the vehicle 12 is set to travel at a speed of up to 120 km/h while maintaining a constant distance from the vehicle in front.

In the center of the display area of the first display unit 24, a video V1 simulating the own vehicle, and a video V2 and a video V3 simulating surrounding vehicles are displayed. Looking at the video V1, it can be seen that the own vehicle is traveling in the middle lane of the three driving lanes. Further, the video V2 and the video V3 are each displayed based on information detected by sensors (not shown) mounted on the vehicle 12. By looking at the video V2 and the video V3, it can be seen that a vehicle is running diagonally to the right of the host vehicle and in front of the host vehicle. Note that the position of the own vehicle can be detected by a GPS device mounted on the vehicle 12. Furthermore, sensors such as stereo cameras, ultrasonic sensors, millimeter wave radars, and laser radars are used in combination as sensors for detecting surrounding vehicles. In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which the position of the own vehicle and the positions of the surrounding vehicles can be grasped by performing inter-vehicle communication with surrounding vehicles.

At the right end of the display area of the first display section 24, the scheduled motion of the vehicle 12 is displayed by a first display instruction section 56. In this embodiment, as an example, a first scheduled action P1, a second scheduled action P2, and a third scheduled action P3 are displayed in order from the bottom. Further, for each scheduled action, three pieces of information are displayed: the distance from the current position to the scheduled action position, the planned travel route, and the type of driving. The type of driving referred to here refers to whether the operation is performed manually by the driver or the operation is performed automatically. Further, in the present embodiment, as an example, only the most recent three scheduled actions are displayed, and the subsequent scheduled actions are not displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, four or more scheduled actions may be displayed on the first display section 24. Further, the number of scheduled operations to be displayed on the first display section 24 may be set arbitrarily.

Hereinafter, the first scheduled action P1, the second scheduled action P2, and the third scheduled action P3 will be specifically explained. "1.4 km" is displayed to the left of the first scheduled motion P1, indicating that the motion will be performed approximately 1400 meters ahead of the current position. Further, in the middle of the first scheduled operation P1, a route merging from the side road on the right side to the main road is displayed as a schematic diagram, and the planned travel route can be understood from this schematic diagram. Further, "AUTO" is displayed on the right side of the first scheduled operation P1, indicating that the operation is performed automatically.

On the other hand, a second scheduled action P2 is displayed above the first scheduled action P1. "2.0 km" is displayed to the left of the second scheduled motion P2, indicating that the motion will be performed approximately 2000 meters ahead of the current position. Further, in the middle of the second scheduled operation P2, a lane change from the left lane to the right lane is displayed as a schematic diagram, and the planned travel route can be understood from this schematic diagram. Further, "MANUAL" is displayed on the right side of the second scheduled operation P2, indicating that the operation is to be performed manually. In other words, automatic operation is temporarily transferred to manual operation before the vehicle travels 2000 m. In addition, in this embodiment, as an example, the vehicle is configured such that only the lane change is performed by the occupant, and after the lane change, the vehicle is switched to automatic driving.

A third scheduled action P3 is displayed above the second scheduled action P2. "2.6 km" is displayed to the left of the third scheduled motion P3, indicating that the motion will be performed approximately 2,600 meters ahead of the current position. Further, in the middle of the third scheduled operation P3, a lane change from the left lane to the right lane is displayed as a schematic diagram, and the planned travel route can be understood from this schematic diagram. Further, "AUTO" is displayed on the right side of the third scheduled operation P3, indicating that the operation is performed automatically.

FIG. 5B shows an image on the first display unit 24 when the vehicle 12 has traveled approximately 500 meters from the state shown in FIG. 4B. As shown in FIG. 5(B), the display on the left of the first scheduled motion P1 has been changed to "0.9 km", and the display on the left of the second scheduled motion P2 has been changed to "1.5 km". has been done. Furthermore, the display on the left of the third scheduled motion P3 has been changed to "2.1 km". Other display contents are the same as those in FIG. 4(B).

FIG. 6(B) shows an image on the first display unit 24 when the vehicle 12 has traveled approximately 600 meters from the state shown in FIG. 5(B). As shown in FIG. 6(B), the display on the left of the first scheduled motion P1 has been changed to "0.3 km", and the display on the left of the second scheduled motion P2 has been changed to "0.9 km". has been done. Furthermore, the display on the left of the third scheduled motion P3 has been changed to "1.5 km". Other display contents are the same as those in FIG. 5(B). In addition, in this embodiment, as an example, the display of the distance for each scheduled operation is set to change every 0.1 km as the vehicle 12 approaches the scheduled operation.

As shown in FIG. 3, the vehicle display control device 10 includes a second display instruction section 58 as a functional configuration. The second display instruction section 58 selects a second display of a scheduled motion in which at least one of the distance and time to the motion is equal to or less than a predetermined value, among the scheduled motions displayed on the first display section 24 by the first display instruction section 56. It is displayed on the display section 26. In addition, the second display instruction section 58 selects, among the scheduled operations displayed on the first display section 24 by the first display instruction section 56, scheduled operations in which at least one of the distance and time to the operation is less than or equal to a predetermined value. If there is no scheduled action, the closest scheduled action is displayed on the second display section 26. Here, in this embodiment, as an example, the second display instruction section 58 is configured to cause the second display section 26 to display when the distance to the scheduled action is 1000 m or less.

The highlighting section 60 causes the second display section 26 to highlight and display when the distance to the scheduled motion is 1000 m or less. Further, when displaying a plurality of scheduled actions on the second display section 26, the highlighting section 60 causes the second display section 26 to display a scheduled action that is closer to the scheduled action with emphasis over other scheduled actions. The functions of the second display instruction section 58 and the highlighting section 60 will be explained with reference to FIG. 4(A), FIG. 5(A), and FIG. 6(A).

As shown in FIG. 4(A), the set speed during cruise control and the current speed of the vehicle 12 are displayed at the bottom of the display area of the second display section 26. The set speed and vehicle speed are displayed at the center of the display area of the second display section 26 in the vehicle width direction. The set speed is displayed in small size on the right side, and is set to 120 km/h here as an example. Further, the current vehicle speed is displayed on the left side, and is displayed as 58 km/h. Therefore, the vehicle 12 is set to travel at a speed of up to 120 km/h while maintaining a constant distance from the vehicle in front. Note that the display of the set speed and vehicle speed is synchronized with the contents of the first display section 24.

At the right end of the display area of the second display section 26, a first scheduled motion P1 of the vehicle 12 is displayed by a second display instruction section 58. Here, as shown in FIG. 4(B), since the distance to the nearest scheduled action is greater than 1000 m, the second display instruction unit 58 displays the first scheduled action P1, which is the nearest scheduled action, as the second scheduled action. It is displayed on the display section 26.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the distance to the first scheduled action P1 displayed on the second display instruction section 58 is 900 m. In this manner, when the distance to the scheduled action is 1000 m or less, the first scheduled action P1 is highlighted and displayed by the highlighting section 60.

In FIG. 6(A), the distance to the second scheduled motion P2 is 900 m. In this way, when the length of the plurality of scheduled movements is 1000 m or less, the second display instruction section 58 causes the second display section 26 to display the first scheduled movement P1 and the second planned movement P2. Furthermore, the highlighting section 60 highlights and displays the first scheduled action P1, which is the closest scheduled action. Specifically, the first scheduled action P1 is displayed larger than the second scheduled action P2.

Note that when the vehicle 12 travels 300 m or more from the state shown in FIG. 6 and passes through the scheduled action point, the first scheduled action P1 is deleted from the first display section 24 and the second display section 26.

(effect)
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

(Display processing)
An example of a display process for displaying the scheduled operation of the vehicle 12 based on the operation plan will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. 7. This display processing is executed by the CPU 30 reading out a display program from the ROM 32 or the storage 36, loading it into the RAM 34, and executing it.

As shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 30 determines whether a destination has been set in step S102. The destination may be input directly into the vehicle 12 by the occupant, or may be input indirectly via a mobile terminal or the like.

If the CPU 30 determines in step S102 that a destination has been set, the process proceeds to step S104. Further, if the CPU 30 determines in step S102 that the destination has not been set, it ends the display process.

CPU 30 sets an operation plan for vehicle 12 in step S104. Specifically, the CPU 30 uses the function of the operation plan setting unit 52 to set an operation plan from the current location to the destination. When setting the operation plan, information on traffic conditions and accidents may be acquired and reflected. Further, the operation plan may be set to increase the number of automatic driving operations according to the passenger's request inputted in advance.

The CPU 30 causes the first display unit 24 to display the planned operation in step S106. Specifically, the CPU 30 uses the function of the first display instruction section 56 to display the scheduled operation of the vehicle 12 on the first display section 24 based on the operation plan. Here, as an example, as shown in FIG. 4(B), the CPU 30 displays a first scheduled action P1, a second scheduled action P2, and a third scheduled action P3 on the right end of the display area of the first display unit 24. Three scheduled actions are displayed.

As shown in FIG. 7, in step S108, the CPU 30 determines whether there is any scheduled motion that is less than or equal to a predetermined distance L. Here, as an example, since the distance L is set to 1000 m, the CPU 30 determines in step S108 whether or not there is a scheduled motion of 1000 m or less. Then, if there is no scheduled motion of 1000 m or less, the CPU 30 proceeds to the process of step S110, and if there is a scheduled motion of 1000 m or less, the CPU 30 proceeds to the process of step S112.

In step S110, the CPU 30 causes the second display unit 26 to generally display only the nearest scheduled action. Specifically, the CPU 30 uses the function of the second display instruction section 58 to display only the closest schedule among the scheduled actions displayed on the first display section 24 on the second display section 26 . Note that the general display here refers to a display mode that is not a highlighted display, and as shown in FIG. 4(A), only the first scheduled action P1 is generally displayed on the second display section 26. .

On the other hand, if there is a scheduled motion of 1000 m or less, the CPU 30 proceeds to step S112 and determines whether there are multiple scheduled motions of 1000 m or less. Then, if there are a plurality of scheduled movements of 1000 m or less among the scheduled movements displayed on the first display section 24, the CPU 30 moves to the process of step S116. Further, if there is only one scheduled motion of 1000 m or less, the CPU 30 moves to step S114.

If there is only one scheduled motion of 1000 m or less, the CPU 30 causes the second display section 26 to highlight the scheduled motion in step S114. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, the CPU 30 uses the functions of the second display instruction section 58 and the highlighting section 60 to enlarge and display the first scheduled action P1 on the second display section 26. let

On the other hand, if there are a plurality of scheduled movements of 1000 m or less, the CPU 30 highlights the closest scheduled movement in step S116, and displays the other scheduled movements in general. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6A, the CPU 30 uses the functions of the second display instruction section 58 and the highlighting section 60 to enlarge and display the first scheduled action P1 on the second display section 26. let Further, the CPU 30 generally displays the second scheduled action P2 on the second display section 26 above the first scheduled action P1. Therefore, the second scheduled action P2 is displayed smaller than the first scheduled action P1.

As shown in FIG. 7, after step S110, step S114, or step S116, the CPU 30 moves to step S118. In step S118, the CPU 30 determines whether the vehicle 12 has passed the planned operation point. Specifically, the CPU 30 determines the point where the vehicle 12 will make the planned movement based on the relationship between the position of the own vehicle specified by a GPS device (not shown) and the point of the planned movement set on the map data based on the operation plan. Judge whether it has passed or not. If the CPU 30 determines that the vehicle 12 has passed the scheduled operation point, the process proceeds to step S120. Further, if the CPU 30 determines in step S118 that the vehicle 12 has not passed the planned movement point, that is, has not reached the planned movement point, the process returns to step S108.

The CPU 30 deletes the scheduled action from the first display section 24 and the second display section 26 in step S120, and ends the display process. Specifically, the CPU 30 deletes the display from the first display section 24 and the second display section 26 for the scheduled motion that has passed the scheduled motion point. For example, when the vehicle 12 travels approximately 400 m or more from the state shown in FIGS. 6(A) and 6(B), the display of the first scheduled operation P1 is deleted from the first display section 24 and the second display section 26.

In this case, in the first display section 24, the first scheduled action P1 is deleted, so that the second scheduled action P2 is displayed at the bottom, and the third scheduled action P3 is displayed above it. Further, above the third scheduled action P3, a scheduled action following the third scheduled action P3 is displayed by the function of the first display instruction section 56.

Furthermore, in the second display section 26, the first scheduled action P1 is deleted, so that the second scheduled action P2 is displayed at the bottom. Further, since the distance to the second scheduled action P2 is 1000 m or less, the second scheduled action P2 is displayed in an enlarged manner by the function of the highlighting section 60. Note that since the distance to the third scheduled action P3 is greater than 1000 m, the third scheduled action P3 is not displayed on the second display section 26.

As described above, the vehicle display control device 10 according to the present embodiment displays the scheduled operation of the vehicle on the first display unit 24 based on the set operation plan. Thereby, the passenger can grasp the operation plan by looking at the first display section 24.

Further, among the scheduled actions displayed on the first display section 24, scheduled actions for which at least one of the distance and time to the action is equal to or less than a predetermined value (here, 1000 m or less) are displayed on the second display section 26. Thereby, by looking at the second display section 26, the occupant can confirm only the most recent scheduled operation of the vehicle. As a result, the occupant can quickly grasp the planned operation of the vehicle.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the most recent scheduled motion of the vehicle 12 is displayed on the projection surface of the first display section 24, which is the second display section 26 above the vehicle. Thereby, the occupant driving the vehicle can confirm the most recent scheduled operation of the vehicle 12 without significantly moving his or her line of sight. That is, the occupant can easily grasp the most recent scheduled operation of the vehicle.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the occupant can grasp the nearest scheduled action by looking at the highlighted content. In other words, the occupant can intuitively confirm information on the closest scheduled motion.

In addition, in this embodiment, in addition to displaying the distance to the vehicle 12 and the scheduled travel route of the vehicle as the scheduled actions, the scheduled actions may be performed manually by the driver or automatically performed. It will display whether it is working or not. This allows the occupant to understand at a glance whether or not he or she needs to drive the vehicle by himself or not. That is, in the vehicle 12 configured to be able to switch between automatic operation and manual operation, the occupant does not have to worry about whether or not he or she needs to drive the vehicle by himself or not.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, by deleting the schedule whose operation has been completed from the second display section 26, only the minimum necessary information can be displayed on the second display section 26. Thereby, the amount of information displayed on the second display section 26 can be reduced compared to the case where a schedule whose operation has been completed is not deleted for a certain period of time. As a result, the occupant does not need to look at the second display section 26 for a long time.

The vehicle display control device and air conditioner control method according to the embodiments have been described above, but it goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the first display section 24 is provided in front of the driver's seat in the instrument panel 14, and the second display section 26 is a projection surface projected by the head-up display device 44, but the present invention is not limited to this. Not done. That is, the first display section may be a center display provided at the center of the instrument panel 14 in the vehicle width direction. Further, the second display section may be provided on the vehicle front side of the steering wheel 16 in the instrument panel 14.

Further, in the above embodiment, the second display instruction section 58 causes the second display section 26 to display when the distance to the scheduled motion is 1000 m or less, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second display section 26 may be displayed on the second display section 26 when the distance to the planned operation is 1500 m or less, and may be displayed on the second display section 26 when the distance to the planned operation is 500 m or less. Good too. Further, for example, the second display instruction section 58 may display on the second display section 26 when the time until the scheduled action is shorter than a predetermined time. In this case, the time until the scheduled action may be calculated based on the speed of the vehicle 12 and the distance to the scheduled action, and this time may be displayed on the first display section 24 and the second display section 26. Further, thresholds may be set for both the distance and time to the scheduled action, and when the distance and time to the scheduled action are equal to or less than either threshold, the second display instruction section 58 may cause the second display section 26 to display the scheduled action. good.

Further, in the above embodiment, the highlighting section 60 performs highlighting by displaying the image enlarged more than usual, but the highlighting is not limited to this, and highlighting may be performed using other methods. . For example, the highlighted display may be performed by changing the color and tone. Alternatively, the scheduled action display portion may be highlighted by blinking or increasing the brightness.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, three pieces of information are displayed as the scheduled operation: the distance to the operation of the vehicle 12, the scheduled route of the vehicle, and the type of driving, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, information such as speed limit may be displayed, but from the viewpoint of making the display easier to read, it is preferable to display only the above three pieces of information.
