As shown in FIG. 9, a display 201 is a liquid crystal display for displaying an instrument panel facing the driver's seat, a navigation screen, and the like. The display 201 is controlled by the display control ECU 200 to display the fuel & storage remaining amount display unit 210 and the vehicle speed display unit 22.
0, left blinker display unit 221, right blinker display unit 22
2, an operation key 223, a select position display section 230, and an engine speed display section 240 are displayed.

In FIG. 10, by operating the display changeover switch 203 from the display mode shown in FIG. 9, the fuel & storage remaining amount display section 210 is switched to the navigation display section 250, and the vehicle speed display section 220 and the fuel & storage remaining amount are displayed.

In addition to the select position display section 230, the engine speed display section 240, the navigation display section 250, and the driving force transmission display section 260, a fuel efficiency improvement rate and the like, which will be described later, are also displayed. ing. [Display Control of Fuel & Storage Remaining Amount] Next, display control of the fuel & storage remaining amount display section 210 will be described.

FIGS. 12 and 13 show the fuel and remaining power display unit 2.
It is a figure showing the example of a display of ten.

In the display example shown in FIG. 12, the remaining power 210a of the battery and the remaining 210b of gasoline are displayed independently. Therefore, the remaining battery charge 210a
Is in watts, and the gasoline remaining amount 210b is in liters.

Further, in the display example shown in FIG. 13, total remaining amount data obtained by adding the remaining amount 210a of the stored power of the battery and the remaining amount 210b of the gasoline is displayed. This total remaining amount data is calculated based on the remaining amount of the battery and the remaining amount of gasoline, and is displayed based on the possible distance. This total remaining amount data indicates a remaining traveling distance obtained by adding a traveling distance according to the remaining power amount and a traveling distance according to the remaining gasoline amount.

The calculation of the total remaining amount data is as follows:
The travelable distances based on the remaining charge amount and the remaining liquid fuel amount may be respectively calculated, and the respective travelable distances may be added.

The display example shown in FIG. 14 calculates the realization probability according to the total remaining amount data (travelable distance).
The relationship between the possible travel distance and the realization probability is displayed.

Here, the total remaining amount data shown in FIG. 13 displays the possible travel distance of the realization probability of about 60 to 80% in FIG. 14 according to the traveling state and the traveling environment.

The total remaining data and the relationship between the possible driving distance and the realization probability are displayed on the display together.
Each of them may be switched and displayed.

The travelable distance and its realization probability are calculated according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In FIG. 15, in step S2, the display control ECU 200 controls the engine and motor control ECU 10
0 to signals from the sensors 101 to 109 and the engine 1
And a control signal to the motor 2. Then, in step S4, the display control ECU 200 calculates the travelable distance based on the remaining amount of the battery and the remaining amount of the liquid fuel. In step S6, the display control ECU 200 corrects the realization probability according to the running state of the vehicle. Here, the running state of the vehicle refers to a change rate of the throttle opening, a change in vehicle speed, a change in shift, and the like due to an operation of the driver. In step S8, the display control ECU 200 corrects the realization probability according to the driving environment of the vehicle. Here, the driving environment of the automobile is an urban area, an expressway, a road surface condition, and the like. In step S10, the display control ECU 200 calculates the realization probability according to the travelable distance, as shown in FIG.
Display 2 shows the relationship between the possible travel distance and the realization probability.
01 is displayed.

Here, the correction of the realization probability according to the running state in step S6 is performed, for example, by correcting the realization probability of a driver who operates with the accelerator pedal depressed. In addition, the correction of the realization probability according to the driving environment in the step S8 can be performed by, for example, reducing the realization probability when the vehicle is going to run on a toll road or the like in the future because the road conditions to be run in the future can be known from the map information of the navigation system. To be corrected.

When the total remaining amount data is displayed as in the display example of FIG. 13, the remaining amount 210a of the stored power and the remaining amount 210b of the liquid fuel can be identified by the display color, blinking display, gradation display and the like. May be displayed.

Further, when the relationship between the mileage and the realization probability is displayed as in the display example of FIG. 14, the gasoline remaining amount 210a and the power storage remaining amount 210b can be identified as shown in FIG. May be displayed.

When the total remaining amount data is displayed as in the display example of FIG. 13, the fluctuation rate of the remaining amount of power is displayed larger than the remaining amount of gasoline, or when the remaining amount of power decreases. It is also possible to display the rate of change larger than that at the time of increase. Since the calculation of the remaining power amount is performed by integration every predetermined time, as shown in FIG. 18, the integration time constant a is used when the remaining power amount increases, the integration time constant b is used when the remaining power amount decreases, and the integration time constant is used when calculating the remaining gasoline amount. A time constant c may be set. Here, it is assumed that a>b> c.

As described above, by changing and displaying the fluctuation rate when the remaining power amount increases or decreasing, the fluctuation rate is reduced when the remaining power amount increases, and increased when the remaining power amount decreases. By doing so, the driver is not given a sense of security too much, and in particular, when the gasoline remaining amount is small, it is possible to warn the driver to refuel early.

Also, when displaying the total remaining amount data as in the display example of FIG. 16, if the gasoline remaining amount is equal to or more than a predetermined amount, only the gasoline remaining amount is displayed, and the gasoline remaining amount becomes equal to or less than the predetermined amount. Then, the display may be switched to remaining amount data including the remaining amount of power storage, or the display may be switched to remaining amount data based only on the remaining amount of power storage when the gasoline remaining amount becomes zero.

In this case, whether the remaining amount data is based only on the gasoline remaining amount, the remaining amount data based only on the remaining amount of power storage, or the remaining amount data obtained by adding the remaining amount of gasoline and the remaining amount of power storage is determined by color or gradation. It is necessary to change and the like so as to be identifiable. [Display control of fuel efficiency improvement rate] Next, display control of the fuel efficiency improvement rate will be described.

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a display example of the fuel efficiency improvement rate.

In the display example shown in FIG. 19, the reference fuel consumption according to the running state is calculated, and the actual fuel consumption compared with the reference fuel consumption is displayed. Here, the reference fuel efficiency can be set to a calculated value in a running state in which the fuel efficiency is substantially maximum, an average fuel efficiency when the own vehicle is running, or a fuel efficiency of a gasoline vehicle having a similar displacement.

The actual fuel efficiency takes a positive value or a negative value with respect to the reference fuel efficiency, and the reference fuel efficiency is set to a smaller value as the power regeneration rate by the brake decreases.

The brake regeneration rate is corrected, for example, to increase as the traveling road is descending, to increase as the difference from the vehicle speed during auto cruise driving increases, or to increase as the vehicle speed increases. The correction is made in the ascending direction, in the direction of decreasing as the steering angle of the vehicle increases, or in the ascending direction when the brake is operated.

In the display example shown in FIG. 20, the average value of the actual fuel efficiency calculated every predetermined time (for example, every five minutes) is displayed in comparison with the reference fuel efficiency. At the same time as the average value of the actual fuel efficiency, the instantaneous actual fuel efficiency at the present time is displayed in comparison with the reference fuel efficiency, and the total fuel efficiency from a predetermined time (when the ignition switch is turned on, when the gasoline is full, etc.) to the present time is displayed. The fuel consumption is displayed.

The fuel efficiency improvement rate is calculated according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 21A.

In FIG. 21A, in step S12,
The display control ECU 200 is an engine & motor control ECU.
From 100, signals from the sensors 101 to 109 and control signals to the engine 1 and the motor 2 are fetched. Then, in step S14, the display control ECU 200 calculates the amount of power recovery by the brake. In step S16,
The display control ECU 200 corrects the reference fuel consumption based on the map shown in FIG. 21B indicating the relationship between the power recovery amount and the correction amount. In step S18, a fuel efficiency improvement rate is calculated. In step S10, the display control ECU 200 displays the fuel efficiency improvement rate for each predetermined time on the display 201.

In step S16, the reference fuel efficiency is corrected to be lower as the power recovery amount is smaller. In particular, when the power recovery amount is larger, it is displayed that the actual fuel efficiency is greatly improved. This gives the driver a sense of gap. For this reason, when the power recovery amount is large, the reference fuel efficiency is corrected to be increased so that the difference from the actual fuel efficiency is not increased.

As described above, by displaying the fuel efficiency improvement rate in comparison with the reference fuel efficiency, it is possible to easily understand the change in the fuel efficiency based on the driving state and the driving operation, and to give the driver a sense of incongruity in checking the fuel efficiency. Disappears. [Driving force transmission display control] Next, the driving force transmission display section 260
Will be described.

FIGS. 22 to 25 show a driving force transmission display section 260.
It is a figure showing the example of a display of.

In the display example shown in FIG. 22, the current output amount with respect to the maximum output amount of the motor or the engine is identifiably displayed, and the current output amount is displayed for each drive wheel. That is, the magnitude of the total driving force transmitted from the engine and the motor to the driving wheels is indicated by the entire arrow 261 displayed on the driving wheel, and the current driving force is determined by the size of the internal display portions 261a and 261b with respect to the entire arrow. We can grasp power. The display portion with respect to the whole is identifiable by changing the display area and color-coding or blinking display.

In the display example shown in FIG. 23, the transmission path 26 of each driving force from the engine or the motor to the driving wheels is provided.
2, 263 are identifiably displayed. In this case, as in the display example shown in FIG. 24, the area of the transmission path can be changed according to the amount of transmission of the driving force, and the distribution ratio of each driving force can be displayed simultaneously.

Further, as shown in the display example of FIG. 25, when the driving power cannot be added from the motor due to the small amount of remaining power, the transmission path from the motor to the driving wheels is cut off to indicate that the transmission path from the motor has been cut off. The display form may be changed to a display form indicating that the driving force cannot be transmitted.

As described above, since the actual running state is not proportional to the engine output, the transmission state of the driving force from the engine and the motor can be easily recognized without giving the driver a feeling of strangeness. [Engine Speed Display Control] Next, display control of the engine speed display unit 240 will be described.

FIGS. 26 to 28 show the engine speed display section 2.
It is a figure which shows the example of a display of 40.

In the display example shown in FIG. 26, the engine speed is displayed numerically, and a message and image indicating that the displayed speed is being used for warm-up operation are displayed.

In the display example shown in FIG. 27, the engine speed is displayed numerically, and the displayed speed is used for running and charging the battery, and the respective distribution ratios are displayed as a message and an image. doing.

Further, the lower part of the distribution ratio display shows the throttle opening (user opening) by the driver's operation of the accelerator pedal according to the engine speed and the engine & motor control EC.
The throttle opening (control opening) under the control of U and the ratio of each throttle opening are displayed as a message and an image.

Here, if the distribution ratio or the distribution content of the engine speed changes due to the transition from the warm-up operation to the running state in FIG. 26, as shown in FIG.
Message is displayed to notify the driver of the change with a message or image, and as shown in FIG.
Change and display the distribution ratio and contents.

Here, when the distribution contents are changed, the display change in the direction in which the fuel efficiency of the engine increases (the direction in which the engine speed decreases) is slow, and the direction in which the fuel efficiency decreases (the engine speed increases). The display change to the direction ()) is made promptly to alert the driver to the fuel efficiency of the engine.

As shown in FIG. 28, when the engine is stopped, the number of revolutions is displayed as zero, then a message of "engine stopped" is displayed, and the image is switched. [Display Control from Power-On to Running] Next, display control of the driving force transmission display unit 260 from power-on by the ignition switch to running will be described.

FIGS. 29 to 35 are views showing display examples from power-on to traveling. FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing a display control procedure from power-on to traveling.

The display control from power-on to running is calculated according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 36, in step S22, the display control ECU 200 waits until the power is turned on by the ignition switch. If the power is turned on in step S22, the process proceeds to step S24, in which an initial check is performed on the engine & motor control ECU 100, and as shown in FIG. 29, "CHECK" and " The message “Initial check is in progress” is displayed by voice and image, and the driving force transmission path from the motor to the driving wheels is displayed as blank.

If the system is normal in step S26, the process proceeds to step S30. If the system is abnormal, step S2 is performed.
Then, as shown in FIG. 30, the message of "running impossible" and "system error" is displayed by voice and image, the driving force transmission path from the motor to the driving wheels is interrupted, and the driving force is reduced. An image indicating that transmission is not possible is displayed. .

In step S30, it is determined whether or not the driving range (1, 2, D, R range) has been selected by the driver operating the selector lever. If the driving range is selected in step S30, the process proceeds to step S34, and if the driving range is not selected, the process proceeds to step S32, and as shown in FIG. , The driving force transmission path from the motor to the driving wheels is colored or blinked, and an image indicating that the driving force can be transmitted is displayed.

In step S34, it is determined whether or not the battery is in the charging mode. If the charging mode is not set in step S34, as shown in FIG.
The message "N" or "running standby" is displayed by voice and image, and an image indicating that the driving force is being transmitted from the motor to the driving wheels is displayed.

If the charging mode is set in step S34, as shown in FIG. 33, "RUN" and "running standby &charging" messages are displayed by voice and image, and the driving force is transmitted from the engine to the driving wheels. An image indicating that the battery is being charged and an image indicating that the battery is being charged from the engine are displayed. In this charging mode, the battery is charged while the engine is running, so that high-speed running is not possible and fuel efficiency is low. For this reason, a character image such as a turtle is displayed to alert the driver that high-speed driving cannot be performed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 30, when the system is abnormal in step S26, when the remaining amount of stored power is equal to or less than a predetermined value, or when the engine is cold, transmission of the driving force from the motor to the driving wheels becomes impossible. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 34, in order to start with the engine instead of starting with the motor, a message of "engine start" is displayed by voice and image to indicate that the ignition switch is turned on for the engine. The image is displayed.

Further, in the traveling standby mode, the distribution ratio of the driving force between the engine and the motor during traveling may be displayed by an indicator or the like as in the display example shown in FIG.

As described above, the propriety of running after the switch is turned on can be easily grasped, and the discomfort given to the driver can be eliminated.

The present invention can be applied to a modification or a modification of the above embodiment without departing from the gist of the invention.

For example, when a message is displayed in each of the above display examples, the message may be simultaneously announced by voice.
