In Fig. 53, the screen is divided into two screens on the left and right, the rear image taken with the camera is displayed on the right, and notes are displayed on the left.

With this configuration, it is possible to visually check the rear of the vehicle body by checking the image from the rear imaging camera.

Furthermore, in conventional vehicles, a rearview mirror (room mirror) is mounted on the ceiling near the driver's seat, and when the driver checks the rear of the vehicle, such as when checking for passing or changing lanes, the rearview mirror reflects the situation behind the vehicle. The driver is able to see behind what is being issued, but if there is something obstructing the rear view in the passenger compartment behind the back-up mirror, it may be difficult for the back-up view to be confirmed by the back-up mirror. is there. For example, if you have a lot of luggage behind the driver's seat like a delivery car, Luggage often blocks the rear view between the mirror and the rear window of the vehicle.

Against this background, in order to solve the above problems, an apparatus described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-71939 has been proposed, and FIG. It is a principal part explanatory view showing a part.

In Fig. 54, this device is equipped with an image pickup device (not shown) at the rear of the vehicle at a position where the field of view behind the vehicle can be sufficiently secured, and an image taken by the image pickup device on the ceiling of the driver's seat of the vehicle. And a reflecting mirror 42 that reflects the image projected by the display device 41 into the driver's field of view. With this configuration, even if the rear view is obstructed by luggage or the like in the vehicle cabin, the driver can always see the rear image.

On the other hand, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. H11-11298015 has proposed a rear-view device for vehicles equipped with a display that can be used by passengers in the rear seats in the passenger compartment. Fig. 55 is an explanatory diagram of the main parts showing the use state of the device. In Fig. 55, a reverse switch 51 that is turned on when the reverse gear of the vehicle is operated, a CCD camera 52 that captures the rear blind spot of the vehicle, an antenna 53 for receiving TV broadcasts, and a TV tuner 54, a TV operation switch for rear passengers 55, a liquid crystal display 56 located near the ceiling in the middle of the front and rear seats, and supporting the liquid crystal display from the ceiling of the vehicle, and It is composed of a display drive unit 57 composed of an electric motor that rotates the LCD screen to the driver's seat side and the rear passenger side, and a control unit 58 that controls the operation of these devices. I have. '' With this configuration, in a vehicle that allows the driver to check the rear and side of the vehicle from the passenger compartment through the window glass, By turning your eyes, you can move your line of sight to the display while looking at the blind spot behind the vehicle, and check the displayed contents. This can reduce the driver's burden for driving.

In addition, in the past, people often shop when going out by car, and when they go shopping, they take the receipt handed by the clerk back to their homes and attach a household account book at home, or there are shops that they like. In such cases, they responded by taking notes.

In addition, when setting a favorite place as a destination while viewing a sightseeing guidebook or the like on the navigation device, the user sets a menu screen consisting of several layers by operating the screen one by one. Was.

Conventional audio and video playback devices for automobiles are mounted and fixed inside the automobile as described above, that is, they are installed near the center of the instrument panel so that they cannot be moved. In many cases, the installation space is limited in the center of the instrument panel in such a configuration, so the user must carefully select the equipment to be installed in this space. Therefore, there is a problem that the user who wants to use various kinds of audio devices and video reproducing devices is inconvenient, such as a low degree of freedom in selection.

In addition, since the sound system is installed in the center of the instrument panel, it is especially necessary to change recording media such as cassette tapes, DATs, CDs, MDs, DVDs, etc. Can only be set and operated at the same time, only the driver and passenger seats in the front seats can be set up.Other than the front seated occupants, that is, if the rear seated occupants are seated, There was a problem that the above-mentioned things could not be performed and the convenience of the rear seated occupants was extremely poor. In addition, a display means for displaying visual information from a video playback device or the like is installed in the center of the instrument panel. The visibility is high for occupants in the front seat, but is displayed for occupants in the rear seat. There was a problem that visibility was reduced due to leaving the means.

In addition, when operating an audio device or a video playback device, since these operation means are usually integrated with the device, it is necessary to reach the center of the instrument panel to operate. The rear seats cannot be operated, and even the front seats must be operated by changing from leaning on the seat to leaning forward, making it difficult to operate easily. there were.

In some cases, the operating means is detached from the device as a remote controller (hereinafter, referred to as a remote controller). In such a configuration, the remote controller is detached from the storage location after the remote control operation. In many cases, the remote control is usually small, so it is difficult to find out where the operating means is, and there is a problem that the user must search for the remote control when operating.

In addition, audio equipment and video playback equipment are installed in the center of the instrument panel and fixed so that wiring and other connections can be made within the instrument panel. However, the number of devices to be installed was limited, and it was necessary to select the devices more carefully when installing the devices, which reduced the development of the devices and reduced the convenience for users.

Furthermore, since an operation means such as a touch panel for operating the display contents of the display means is provided in the center of the instrument panel together with the display means, the operation means is operated when the operation means is operated. When performing the operation, change the posture from leaning on the seat to the leaning posture. Operation must be performed by hand, or the user must reach for the operation, which makes it difficult to perform the operation easily.

In addition, there is also a problem that if the space between the seats is a passenger's passage such as a bus even in a moving body, no floor can be installed because the floor blocks the passengers' passage.

On the other hand, some TV receivers are mounted on rails provided on the ceiling of the bus so that they can move in the front-rear direction of the pass. It does not have a relationship with the movement stop position of the receiver, so each time the user uses the position of the TV receiver so that the position corresponds to the seat where the user is sitting, the TV reception There was a problem that the user had to stop while adjusting the movement of the aircraft, which was inconvenient for the user.

In addition, even if the rear seat occupant does not use the television receiver, the rear seat is always located alone, which has a problem that it obstructs the driver and other passengers.

Furthermore, if there is a protrusion on the ceiling behind the room mirror, the protrusion blocks the rear view of the room mirror, making it difficult for the driver to check the rear. The situation was not only when the vehicle was backing up, but also at the start of normal driving, when changing lanes during driving, when making a right or left turn, etc., that is, there was a problem that it occurred when it was necessary to check the rear.

Conventionally, however, a display device that projects an image captured by an imaging device on the ceiling of a driver's seat of a vehicle toward a windshield, and reflects the image projected by the display device so as to enter a driver's field of view. When viewing the rear image with the reflector, the user always sees the rear image captured by the imaging device, and when there is no luggage in the back seat etc. in the car That is, even when the rear view is good, the imaging device and the display device are operating. As a result, there is a problem that power consumption is generated and the onboard battery is likely to rise.

Conventionally, when the driver moves the vehicle backward, the driver's gaze is moved to the display located near the ceiling in the middle of the front and rear seats while looking at the rear of the vehicle, and the displayed contents can be checked. Because of this configuration, a display drive unit that rotates the screen of the display toward the driver's seat and the rear occupant was required, and the number of parts increased.

In addition, when the vehicle is moved backward, even if the passenger in the rear seat enjoys watching the contents of the display provided near the ceiling in the middle of the front and rear seats, the display screen is rotated to the driver's seat side. During this time, the rear passengers could not use the display and the rear passengers became inconvenienced.

Another problem was that organizing and processing information such as receipts received when shopping when going out of a car was complicated and often cumbersome.

Furthermore, it is necessary for the user to read the address of the favorite shop on the navigation device from a receipt or a sightseeing guidebook, etc., and to set the address, etc. by the user's operation, which is often complicated and troublesome. There was a problem.
