Further, it is known that a color or a pattern that can be distinguished from an instrument panel is used for an operation device provided on an instrument panel of a vehicle so that a user can easily grasp the position.

JP 2010-30450 A

The color and pattern that can be used to distinguish the operation device provided on the instrument panel from the instrument panel is that it makes it easier to grasp the position of the operation device when the user needs to operate the operation device. Useful. However, when the user does not need to operate the controller, the colors and patterns that can be distinguished from the instrument panel give the user a cluttered impression and impair the design of the vehicle interior. There were cases where profits exceeded.

In addition, for a display device such as a liquid crystal display of a navigation device, if the user turns off the display without needing to display guidance information, the black display surface does not match the instrument panel and the vehicle In some cases, the interior design was impaired.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a vehicle display control device and a vehicle display system that can make it difficult to impair the design of a vehicle interior.

According to the example of the present disclosure, the display control device for a vehicle is mounted on a vehicle in which an operation device for a user to perform an operation is provided in the vehicle interior, and is provided on a surface facing the vehicle interior side of the operation device. In addition, a display adjustment unit that adjusts the display on the film-like display whose display surface faces the vehicle interior side, and an imaging device that captures the surrounding interior where the operation unit is provided in the interior of the vehicle A captured image acquisition unit that sequentially acquires the captured images and a determination unit that determines whether or not the user needs to operate the operating device, and the display adjustment unit is that the user does not need to operate the operating device. When determined by the determination unit, based on the captured image acquired by the captured image acquisition unit, while causing the film display to perform an assimilation display that looks assimilated to the surrounding interior provided with the operation device, It is determined that the user needs to operate the controller. If it is determined in parts it is to perform assimilation displayed in the form of a film display.

In addition, according to the example of the present disclosure, the vehicle display system is mounted on a vehicle in which an operation device for a user to perform an operation is provided in a vehicle interior, and is provided on a surface facing the vehicle interior side of the operation device. A display device with a display surface facing the vehicle interior side, a display adjustment unit for adjusting the display on the film display device, and an operating device in the interior of the vehicle. A vehicle display control device comprising: a captured image acquisition unit that sequentially acquires captured images in an imaging device that images the interior; and a determination unit that determines whether or not the user needs to operate the operating device. When the determination unit determines that the user does not need to operate the operation unit, the adjustment unit is based on the captured image acquired by the captured image acquisition unit, and is similar to the surrounding interior where the operation unit is provided. Assimilation display that appears as a film-like display One cause it, when it is determined the operation of the operation unit in a determination unit user needs is characterized in that not performed whether display in the form of a film display.

According to these configurations, since the film-like display is made to perform assimilation display that looks assimilated to the interior based on the captured image of the surrounding interior where the operation device is provided, the operation device is provided. It is possible to make the film display display an assimilation display that looks similar to the actual appearance of the surrounding interior. In addition, since the film-like display is provided on the surface of the operation unit facing the vehicle interior side, the display surface faces the vehicle interior side, the operation device viewed from the passenger is hidden by this assimilation display. become. The assimilation display is a display that looks similar to the actual appearance of the surrounding interior where the controller is provided, so the part that the controller appears to be hidden by the assimilation display is It seems that the surrounding interior where the vessel is provided continues.

Further, the assimilation display is not performed when the determination unit determines that the operation of the operation device is required by the user, while it is performed when the determination unit determines that the operation of the operation device is not required by the user. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation that the user feels that the operating device is lifted from the surrounding interior, which is likely to occur when it is not necessary to operate the operating device. As a result, it becomes possible to make it difficult to impair the design of the vehicle interior.

Further, according to another example of the present disclosure, the vehicle display control device is mounted on a vehicle in which an information providing display that is a display for providing information to a user is provided in a vehicle interior. A display adjustment unit that adjusts display on the provided display, and a captured image acquisition unit that sequentially acquires captured images in an imaging device that captures the surrounding interior in which the information providing display is provided in the interior of the vehicle; A determination unit that determines whether or not the user needs an information providing display for providing information to the user on the information providing display, and the display adjusting unit displays the information providing display on the information providing display If the determination unit determines that the user does not need the information, the assimilation display that appears assimilated to the surrounding interior where the information providing display is provided is based on the captured image acquired by the captured image acquisition unit. Let the provided display perform It is characterized in.

According to this, the information providing display is provided because the information providing display performs an assimilation display that looks assimilated to the interior based on the captured image of the surrounding interior where the information providing display is provided. It is possible to make the information providing display display an assimilation display that looks similar to the actual appearance of the surrounding interior. Since this information providing display is a display for providing information to the user, the information providing display viewed from the occupant is hidden by this assimilation display. Since the assimilation display is a display that looks similar to the actual appearance of the surrounding interior where the information providing display is provided, the information providing display appears to be hidden by the occupant from the assimilation display The part appears to be followed by a surrounding interior where an informational indicator is provided.

Also, the assimilation display is performed when the determination unit determines that the information providing display on the information providing display is not required by the user. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation that is felt by the user when the information providing display is floating from the surrounding interior, which is likely to occur when the user does not need the information providing display. As a result, it becomes possible to make it difficult to impair the design of the vehicle interior.

The instrument panel imaging camera 5 is a camera that images an area around the operation panel 2 and the guidance display 4 of the instrument panel of the host vehicle. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a case where the left and right areas ArL and ArR sandwiching the operating device 2 and the guidance display 4 in the

instrument panels

8a and 8b of the host vehicle are taken as an example and the following is taken as an example. Give an explanation. The

instrument panels

8a and 8b correspond to interiors (also referred to as interior parts and interior surfaces), and the instrument panel imaging camera 5 corresponds to an imaging device.

Note that the area on the left side of the operating device 2 and the guidance display 4 when viewed from the driver of the host vehicle is ArL, and the area on the right side is ArR. The instrument panel 8a and the instrument panel 8b are different in color and pattern. In the example of the present embodiment, the instrument panel 8a has a brown wood pattern, whereas the instrument panel 8b has a black solid color.

The occupant monitor camera 6 is a camera that images passengers in the driver's seat and passenger seat. The occupant monitor camera 6 includes a hand extended to the vicinity of the operation unit 2 and the guidance display 4 by the occupant in the driver's seat and the passenger's seat and the face of the occupant in the driver's seat and the passenger's seat. It is assumed that it is provided so as to image.

The vehicle sensor group 7 is a group of various sensors mounted on the host vehicle other than the instrument panel imaging camera 5 and the occupant monitor camera 6. It is assumed that the vehicle sensor group 7 includes, for example, a temperature sensor that detects the passenger compartment temperature of the host vehicle.

The HCU 1 is mainly configured as a microcomputer, and each includes a known CPU, a memory such as a ROM and a RAM, an I / O, and a bus connecting them. The HCU 1 performs various processes such as display control related processing for controlling or adjusting the display on the film display 3 and the guidance display 4 based on various information input from the instrument panel imaging camera 5, the occupant monitor camera 6, and the vehicle sensor group 7. Execute the process. The HCU 1 corresponds to a vehicle display control device.

Note that some or all of the functions executed by the HCU 1 may be configured in hardware by one or a plurality of ICs.

<Detailed configuration of HCU1>
As shown in FIG. 3, the HCU 1 (also referred to as a control circuit) includes a first captured image acquisition unit 11, a second captured image acquisition unit 12, a determination unit 13 (also referred to as a necessity determination unit), and a display. An adjustment unit 14 (also referred to as a display control unit) is provided.

The first captured image acquisition unit 11 sequentially acquires the images of the above-described areas ArL and ArR captured by the instrument panel imaging camera 5. The first captured image acquisition unit 11 corresponds to a captured image acquisition unit. The second captured image acquisition unit 12 sequentially acquires occupant images captured by the occupant monitor camera 6.

The determination unit 13 and the display adjustment unit 14 will be described in detail in the following description of the display control related process.

<Display control related processing>
Here, the display control related processing in the HCU 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The flowchart in FIG. 4 starts when the ignition power of the host vehicle is turned on, for example.

Here, the processing of the flowchart includes a plurality of sections (or referred to as steps), and each section is expressed as, for example, S1. Further, each section can be divided into a plurality of subsections, while a plurality of sections can be combined into one section. Further, each section can be referred to as a device, a module. In addition, each of the above sections or a combination thereof includes not only (i) a section of software combined with a hardware unit (eg, a computer), but also (ii) hardware (eg, an integrated circuit, As a section of (wiring logic circuit), it can be realized with or without the function of related devices. Furthermore, the hardware section can be included inside the microcomputer.

First, in S <b> 1, the first captured image acquisition unit 11 acquires images of the above-described areas ArL and ArR captured by the instrument panel imaging camera 5.

In S2, the display adjustment unit 14 causes the film display 3 and the guidance display 4 to perform an assimilation display that appears assimilated to the surrounding

instrument panels

8a and 8b based on the image acquired in S1. More specifically, the display adjustment unit 14 changes the area between the captured image of the area ArL and the captured image of the area ArR acquired in S1 in the area where the operation device 2 and the guidance display 4 are provided. Also, when it is assumed that the

instrument panels

8a and 8b continue, changes in the appearance of the

instrument panels

8a and 8b are estimated. Then, the film-like display 3 and the guidance display 4 are caused to perform assimilation display along the estimated change in appearance.

Here, an example of processing for performing assimilation display will be described. First, the positional relationship between the operation device 2 and the guidance display 4 and the areas ArL and ArR, and the screen size of the film display 3 and the guidance display 4 provided in the operation device 2 are stored in advance in the nonvolatile memory of the HCU 1. It shall be.

Based on the positional relationship between the operation device 2 and the region ArL stored in the nonvolatile memory, the display adjustment unit 14 determines the width of the operation device 2 located in the left-right direction of the operation device 2 from the captured image of the region ArL. The captured image of the minute region is extracted. Based on the positional relationship between the operation device 2 and the region ArR stored in the non-volatile memory, an area corresponding to the width of the operation device 2 located in the left-right direction of the operation device 2 is obtained from the captured image of the region ArR. It is good also as a structure which extracts a captured image. In addition, based on the positional relationship between the operation device 2 stored in the non-volatile memory and the regions ArL and ArR, an operation positioned in the left-right direction of the operation device 2 from the captured images of the regions ArL and ArR. It is good also as a structure which extracts the captured image of the area | region for the width | variety of the device 2.

Subsequently, based on the screen size of the film-like display 3 provided in the operation device 2 stored in the non-volatile memory, the display adjustment unit 14 moves the extracted captured image left and right so as to fit the screen size. Expanding. If the extracted captured image is smaller than the screen size, the captured image may be cut out to fit the screen size. The captured image processed to fit the screen size is hereinafter referred to as a processed image.

Further, the display adjustment unit 14 estimates a change in luminance in the region sandwiched between the region ArL and the region ArR from the luminance of the captured image of the region ArL and the captured image of the region ArR. For example, the luminance change may be estimated to change linearly. Subsequently, the display adjustment unit 14 obtains the luminance in the region where the operation device 2 is located based on the estimated change in luminance and the positional relationship between the operation device 2 and the regions ArL and ArR. And the image (henceforth an assimilation display image) which performed image processing so that the brightness | luminance of the above-mentioned processed image may become the calculated | required brightness | luminance is displayed on the film-form display 3. FIG. In the case where there is a significant difference in the obtained luminance at the left and right ends of the area where the operation device 2 is located, an image processing for adding gradation along the change in luminance is performed to obtain an assimilated display image. That's fine. The significant difference mentioned here may be a difference that can be distinguished visually by the user.

In addition, what is necessary is just to set it as the structure which performs the above-mentioned process about each operation device 2, when there exist two or more operation devices 2. FIG. In addition, the guidance display 4 may be configured to obtain an assimilated display image by performing the same processing as described for the operation device 2.

According to this, by extracting a captured image of a region corresponding to the width of the operation device 2 or the guidance display 4 positioned in the left-right direction of the operation device 2 or the guidance display 4, and expanding or cutting out only in the left-right direction. Even when the

instrument panels

8a and 8b have a pattern such as wood grain, it is possible to make it difficult for the

instrument panel

8a and 8b around the operation unit 2 and the guidance display 4 to be shifted from the assimilation display.

In addition, since the assimilation display is performed according to the change in luminance in the region sandwiched between the region ArL and the region ArR estimated based on the luminance of the captured image of the region ArL and the captured image of the region ArR, Even when the appearance of the

instrument panels

8a and 8b varies depending on the place due to sunlight, etc., the

instrument panels

8a and 8b around the operation device 2 and the guide display 4 may be less likely to be shifted from the assimilation display. it can.

Here, an example of assimilation display will be described with reference to FIG. For example, when the instrument panel 8 a around the guidance display 4 has a brown wood pattern, the brown display is also displayed on the guidance display 4. Further, when the instrument panel 8b around the operation device 2 is a black solid color, the black solid color is also displayed on the film display 3 provided in the operation device 2.

Returning to FIG. 4, in S <b> 3, the determination unit 13 displays whether or not the user needs to operate the operation device 2, and displays on the guidance display 4 for providing information to the user (hereinafter, information providing display). Determine if the user needs it.

As an example, when it can be detected that the user is reaching out in the vicinity of the operation device 2 based on the captured image acquired from the occupant monitor camera 6 by the second captured image acquisition unit 12, While it is determined that the user needs the operation, if it is not detected that the user is reaching near the operation device 2, it is determined that the operation of the operation device 2 is not required by the user. That's fine.

In addition, when the second captured image acquisition unit 12 can detect that the user's line of sight is facing the guidance display 4 based on the captured image acquired from the occupant monitor camera 6, information is provided on the guidance display 4. While it is determined that the user needs display, if it is not possible to detect that the user's line of sight is facing the guidance display 4, the information determination display on the guidance display 4 is determined not to be required by the user. do it.

Note that the fact that the user's line of sight faces the guidance display 4 may be detected when the user's line of sight continues to face the guidance display 4 for a predetermined time such as 1 second or longer.

In addition, when it is detected that the user has reached his hand in the vicinity of the guidance display 4, it is determined that the user needs to provide information on the guidance display 4, while the user In the case where it is not possible to detect that the hand is reaching out in the vicinity, it may be determined that the information providing display on the guidance display 4 is not required by the user.

In addition to the fact that the user's line of sight is directed to the guidance display 4, the user needs to provide information on the guidance display 4 when it is detected that the user has reached out to the vicinity of the guidance display 4. It may be configured to determine that

In addition, it is a case where there are a plurality of operation devices 2, and based on the captured image acquired by the second captured image acquisition unit 12, the user places a hand near which of the operation devices 2 of the plurality of operation devices 2. In the case where it is possible to detect whether it is extended, the determination unit 13 may determine which operating device 2 is required.

In addition, from the signals of the various sensor groups mounted on the host vehicle obtained from the vehicle sensor group 7, the user can display information on the guidance display 4 as to whether or not the user needs to operate the operating device 2. It is good also as a structure which determines whether it is required. As an example, when the temperature of the passenger compartment detected by the temperature sensor is in a temperature range that is estimated to require activation of the air conditioner or change in temperature setting, a switch for the air conditioner of the operating device 2 The operation may be determined to be necessary by the user.

In S4, if the determination unit 13 determines that the user needs either the operation device 2 or the information display on the guidance display 4 (YES in S4), the process proceeds to S5. On the other hand, when the determination unit 13 determines that neither the operation of the operation device 2 nor the information providing display on the guidance display 4 is required by the user (NO in S4), the process proceeds to S7.

In S5, as in S1, the first captured image acquisition unit 11 acquires images of the above-described areas ArL and ArR captured by the instrument panel imaging camera 5.

In S6, the display adjustment unit 14 stops the assimilation display for the film display 3 and the guidance display 4 provided in the operation device 2 determined to be necessary by the determination unit 13.

When discontinuing the assimilation display, the film display 3 provided in the operation device 2 may be configured to display nothing, but may be configured to display an icon or mark indicating the type of the operation device 2. The guidance display 4 may be configured to display an operation screen of the guidance display 4 or a screen according to the operation of the guidance display 4.

Here, an example when the assimilation display is stopped will be described with reference to FIGS. For example, when the determination unit 13 determines that only the operation of the operation device 2 out of the guidance display 4 and the operation device 2 is necessary, the associative display is continued on the guidance display 4 as shown in FIG. The assimilation display is stopped for the film-like display 3 provided in the operation device 2.

For example, when the determination unit 13 determines that only the operation of a part of the operation devices 2 of the guidance display 4 and the plurality of operation devices 2 is necessary, as shown in FIG. Assimilation display is continued for the film-like display 3 provided in the operation device 2 determined not to be necessary, while the assimilation display is stopped for the film-like display 3 provided to the operation device 2 determined to be necessary. Let

Returning to FIG. 4, in S <b> 7, in the same manner as in S <b> 1, the first captured image acquisition unit 11 acquires images of the aforementioned areas ArL and ArR captured by the instrument panel imaging camera 5. In S8, as in S2, the display adjustment unit 14 causes the film display 3 and the guide display 4 to perform assimilation display, and continues the assimilation display.

In S9, when it is the end timing of the display control related process (YES in S9), the process proceeds to S10. On the other hand, if it is not the end timing of the display control related process (NO in S9), the process returns to S3 and is repeated. An example of the end timing of the display control related process is when the host vehicle ignition power is turned off.

In S10, as in S1, the first captured image acquisition unit 11 acquires images of the above-described areas ArL and ArR captured by the instrument panel imaging camera 5. In S11, similarly to S2, the display adjustment unit 14 causes the film-like display 3 and the guidance display 4 to once perform assimilation display, and then the display control-related processing ends.

According to this, when the user turns off the ignition power of the host vehicle, the film display 3 and the guidance display 4 provided in the operation device 2 are all assimilated and displayed simultaneously. Can improve the appearance. After performing the assimilation display all at once, the display itself on the film display 3 and the guidance display 4 may be terminated.

In addition, the assimilation display is continued until the getting-off is detected by a signal from a seating sensor or the like in the vehicle sensor group 7, and after the getting-off is detected, the display adjusting unit 14 displays on the film display 3 and the guidance display 4 itself. It is good also as a structure which complete | finishes.

(Summary of Embodiment 1)
According to the configuration of the first embodiment, a film-like image obtained by processing the image color and pattern extracted from the captured images of the surrounding

instrument panels

8a and 8b provided with the operation device 2 and the guidance display 4 as it is is used as a film. Since the display 3 and the guidance display 4 are made to perform, an assimilation display that looks similar to the actual appearance of the surrounding

instrument panels

8a and 8b on which the operation device 2 and the guidance display 4 are provided is a film display. 3 and the guidance display 4 can be performed.

Since this film-like display 3 is provided on the surface of the operation device 2 facing the vehicle interior side with the display surface facing the vehicle interior side, the operation device 2 viewed from the occupant is hidden by this assimilation display. become. Moreover, since the guidance display 4 is a display device for providing information to the user, the guidance display 4 viewed from the passenger is hidden by this assimilation display. The assimilation display is a display that looks similar to the actual view of the surrounding

instrument panels

8a and 8b provided with the controller 2 and the guidance display 4, and is therefore hidden from the passenger by the assimilation display. The part that is seen appears to be followed by the surrounding

instrument panels

8a, 8b.

In addition, according to the configuration of the first embodiment, when the determination unit 13 determines that the operation device 2 or the guidance display 4 is not required by the user, the film-like display 3 or the guidance display 4 performs assimilation display. Thus, it is possible to prevent the operating device 2 and the guidance display 4 from being lifted from the surrounding

instrument panels

8a and 8b. Details are as follows.

When the user needs to operate the operation device 2, even if the operation device 2 has a color or pattern that can be distinguished from the instrument panel 8b, there is an advantage that the position of the operation device 2 can be easily grasped. It is thought that it is hard to feel that the vessel 2 is floating from the surrounding instrument panel 8b. On the other hand, when the user does not need to operate the operation device 2, if the operation device 2 has a color or a pattern that can be distinguished from the instrument panel 8b, the difference in appearance between the operation device 2 and the instrument panel 8b is It is considered that the user is likely to feel when the controller 2 is lifted from the surrounding instrument panel 8b.

In addition, when the user needs the information providing display on the guidance display 4, the user's consciousness is suitable for the information providing display, so that the screen of the guidance display 4 is lifted from the surrounding instrument panel 8a. It is considered difficult. On the other hand, when the user does not need the information providing display on the guidance display 4, if the screen of the guidance display 4 has a color or pattern that can be distinguished from the instrument panel 8a, the screen of the guidance display 4 and the instrument panel 8a. It is considered that the user's consciousness is easily directed to the difference in appearance, and the user can easily feel when the guidance display 4 is lifted from the surrounding instrument panel 8a.

On the other hand, according to the configuration of the first embodiment, when the operation device 2 and the guidance display 4 are not required by the user, the film display 3 and the guidance display 4 provided in the operation device 2 are assimilated. By performing the display, it is possible to prevent the operating device 2 and the guidance display 4 from being lifted from the surrounding

instrument panels

8a and 8b.

(Modification 1)
In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the assimilation display is not performed on the guidance display 4 when the determination unit 13 determines that the user needs information providing display on the guidance display 4 has been described. Absent. For example, when the guidance display 4 displays the information provided to the user so as to overlap the background, the background may be configured as the above-described assimilation display.

Here, an example in which the background to be displayed on the guidance display 4 is assimilated display is shown using FIG. FIG. 8 shows an example in which a route guidance map is displayed on the guidance display 4. For example, when the route guidance map is displayed on the guidance display 4, as shown in FIG. 8, the background of the road and the facility is assimilated to the instrument panel 8a on which the guidance display 4 is provided. What is necessary is just to make it the structure which performs a display.

(Modification 2)
In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the instrument panel imaging camera 5 captures the left and right regions sandwiching the operation device 2 and the guidance display 4 is shown, but the configuration is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, it is good also as a structure which images the upper and lower area | region which pinches | interposes the operation device 2 and the guidance display 4, and it is good also as a structure which images the upper and lower area | region in addition to the left and right area | region which pinches | interposes the operation device 2 and the guidance display 4. Even when the color and pattern of the

instrument panels

8a and 8b are switched in the left-right direction by using captured images obtained by imaging the upper and lower regions sandwiching the operation device 2 and the guidance display 4, the surrounding instrument panels 8a, It is possible to display an assimilation display that appears assimilated to 8b.

(Modification 3)
