　次に、図２の表示制御装置１内部の構成について説明する。表示制御装置１は、操作信号入力部１１ａと、仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａと、表示位置制御部１２ｂと、表示制御部１２ｃとを備える。なお、操作信号入力部１１ａは、実施の形態１の図１の情報取得部１１の概念に含まれる。仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａ、表示位置制御部１２ｂ及び表示制御部１２ｃは、図２の破線に示されるように、実施の形態１の図１の制御部１２の概念に含まれる。 Next, the internal configuration of the display control device 1 in FIG. 2 will be described. The display control device 1 includes an operation signal input unit 11a, a virtual display object generation unit 12a, a display position control unit 12b, and a display control unit 12c. The operation signal input unit 11a is included in the concept of the information acquisition unit 11 in FIG. 1 of the first embodiment. The virtual display object generation unit 12a, the display position control unit 12b, and the display control unit 12c are included in the concept of the control unit 12 in FIG. 1 of the first embodiment, as indicated by a broken line in FIG.
　操作入力部２２が操作を受け付けた場合に、操作信号入力部１１ａは、当該操作を示す操作信号を操作入力部２２から取得する。このため、操作入力部２２がポールオブジェクトを移動させる操作を受け付けた場合に、操作信号入力部１１ａは、ポールオブジェクトを移動させる操作の情報を操作入力部２２から取得する。以下の説明では、ポールオブジェクトを移動させる操作を「移動操作」と記す。 When the operation input unit 22 receives an operation, the operation signal input unit 11a acquires an operation signal indicating the operation from the operation input unit 22. For this reason, when the operation input unit 22 receives an operation of moving the pole object, the operation signal input unit 11a acquires information on the operation of moving the pole object from the operation input unit 22. In the following description, an operation for moving the pole object is referred to as a “movement operation”.
　仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａは、操作信号入力部１１ａで取得された操作に基づいて、仮想表示部２１に表示すべき表示オブジェクトを生成する。本実施の形態２では、仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａは、操作信号入力部１１ａで取得された移動操作に基づいて、ポールオブジェクトを生成する。なお、仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａは、自車両のアクセサリー電源がオンしたことを示す信号に基づいて、ポールオブジェクトを生成してもよい。 The virtual display object generation unit 12a generates a display object to be displayed on the virtual display unit 21 based on the operation acquired by the operation signal input unit 11a. In the second embodiment, the virtual display object generation unit 12a generates a pole object based on the moving operation acquired by the operation signal input unit 11a. The virtual display object generation unit 12a may generate a pole object based on a signal indicating that the accessory power supply of the host vehicle is turned on.
　表示位置制御部１２ｂは、仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａで生成された表示オブジェクトの表示位置を、操作信号入力部１１ａで取得された操作に基づいて決定する。仮想表示部２１が虚像を表示するＨＵＤである場合、表示位置制御部１２ｂは虚像の位置を表示位置として決定する。ここで、虚像の位置は、自車両の特定位置（例えば運転席またはフロントガラス）を原点などの基準にした３次元座標空間における位置である。３次元座標空間が極座標空間である場合、虚像の位置は、例えば、虚像の方向である虚像方向と、虚像までの距離である虚像距離とによって規定される。座標空間が直交座標空間である場合、虚像の位置は、例えば、車両の前後方向、左右方向、上下方向に規定された３つの直交座標軸上の座標によって規定される。 The display position control unit 12b determines the display position of the display object generated by the virtual display object generation unit 12a based on the operation acquired by the operation signal input unit 11a. When the virtual display unit 21 is a HUD that displays a virtual image, the display position control unit 12b determines the position of the virtual image as the display position. Here, the position of the virtual image is a position in a three-dimensional coordinate space with a specific position (for example, a driver's seat or a windshield) of the host vehicle as a reference such as an origin. When the three-dimensional coordinate space is a polar coordinate space, the position of the virtual image is defined by, for example, the virtual image direction that is the direction of the virtual image and the virtual image distance that is the distance to the virtual image. When the coordinate space is an orthogonal coordinate space, the position of the virtual image is defined by coordinates on three orthogonal coordinate axes defined in the front-rear direction, the left-right direction, and the up-down direction of the vehicle, for example.
　本実施の形態２では、表示位置制御部１２ｂは、操作信号入力部１１ａで取得された移動操作に基づいて、自車両のフェンダー及び前側バンパーのどこかと重なる位置にポールオブジェクトの表示位置を決定する。 In the second embodiment, the display position control unit 12b determines the display position of the pole object at a position overlapping with the fender and the front bumper of the host vehicle based on the moving operation acquired by the operation signal input unit 11a. .
　表示制御部１２ｃは、仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａで生成された表示オブジェクトを、表示位置制御部１２ｂで決定された表示位置に表示するように、仮想表示部２１を制御する。本実施の形態２では、表示制御部１２ｃは、仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａで生成されたポールオブジェクトを、表示位置制御部１２ｂで決定された表示位置に表示するように、仮想表示部２１を制御する。 The display control unit 12c controls the virtual display unit 21 so that the display object generated by the virtual display object generation unit 12a is displayed at the display position determined by the display position control unit 12b. In the second embodiment, the display control unit 12c controls the virtual display unit 21 so that the pole object generated by the virtual display object generation unit 12a is displayed at the display position determined by the display position control unit 12b. To do.
　＜動作＞
　図３は、本実施の形態２に係る表示制御装置１の動作を示すフローチャートである。 <Operation>
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the display control apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment.
　まずステップＳ１にて、仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａは、操作信号入力部１１ａで取得された操作などに基づいてポールオブジェクトを生成する。表示位置制御部１２ｂは、ポールオブジェクトの表示位置を初期位置に決定する。これにより、表示制御部１２ｃは、ポールオブジェクトを初期位置に表示するように仮想表示部２１を制御する。なお、本実施の形態２では、初期位置は、一般的なコーナポールの位置のように、自車両のボディのうちの助手席側の前側端部の位置であるものとして説明する。 First, in step S1, the virtual display object generation unit 12a generates a pole object based on the operation acquired by the operation signal input unit 11a. The display position control unit 12b determines the display position of the pole object as the initial position. Thereby, the display control unit 12c controls the virtual display unit 21 so as to display the pole object at the initial position. In the second embodiment, the initial position is assumed to be the position of the front end portion on the passenger seat side of the body of the host vehicle, like the position of a general corner pole.
　図４は、ステップＳ１が行われた時に、自車両の室内からフロントガラス３１越しに見える状態を示す図である。図４には、自車両のボンネット３２及びバックミラー３３と、コーナポールの位置と同じ初期位置に表示されたポールオブジェクト３４とが示されている。なお、自車両の車種によっては、ボンネット３２が見えない場合もある。 FIG. 4 is a view showing a state where the vehicle can be seen through the windshield 31 from the interior of the host vehicle when step S1 is performed. FIG. 4 shows a hood 32 and a rearview mirror 33 of the host vehicle, and a pole object 34 displayed at the same initial position as the corner pole. Note that the bonnet 32 may not be visible depending on the vehicle type of the host vehicle.
　なお、以下の説明では、自車両は左ハンドルの車両であるものとして説明する。また、以下の説明では、図４の代わりに、自車両の室内からフロントガラス３１越しに見える状態を模式的に示す図５を用いることもある。この模式図では、ボンネット３２に自車両２の符号が付されていることが示されている。 In the following description, it is assumed that the host vehicle is a left-hand drive vehicle. Moreover, in the following description, FIG. 5 which shows typically the state which can be seen through the windshield 31 from the room | chamber interior of the own vehicle may be used instead of FIG. In this schematic diagram, it is shown that the sign of the host vehicle 2 is attached to the bonnet 32.
　図３のステップＳ２にて、表示位置制御部１２ｂは、操作信号入力部１１ａが移動操作を取得したか否かを判定する。移動操作を取得したと判定した場合には処理がステップＳ３に進み、移動操作を取得しなかったと判定した場合にはステップＳ２の処理が再度行われる。 3, the display position control unit 12b determines whether or not the operation signal input unit 11a has acquired a moving operation. If it is determined that the moving operation has been acquired, the process proceeds to step S3. If it is determined that the moving operation has not been acquired, the process of step S2 is performed again.
　図６は、自車両２と、障害物である他車両５１ａとの配置関係の一例を示す図である。なお図６には、ステップＳ１によって初期位置２ａに表示されたポールオブジェクト３４が示されているだけでなく、自車両２と他車両５１ａとの間の最短距離をなす各部分の位置２ｂ，５２も示されている。 FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of an arrangement relationship between the host vehicle 2 and another vehicle 51a that is an obstacle. FIG. 6 shows not only the pole object 34 displayed at the initial position 2a in step S1, but also the positions 2b and 52 of the respective parts forming the shortest distance between the host vehicle 2 and the other vehicle 51a. Is also shown.
　図６の配置関係において、他車両５１ａの近くで自車両２を走行させようとしている運転者は、自車両２が他車両５１ａと衝突するか否かを判断するために、位置２ｂ，５２の間の距離を目測すると考えられる。この際に、ポールオブジェクト３４が初期位置２ａではなく位置２ｂに表示されれば、衝突の判断を高めることが期待できる。そこで、図６のような場合、図３のステップＳ２にて運転者は移動操作を行い、ステップＳ３に処理が進むことになる。 In the arrangement relationship of FIG. 6, the driver who is going to drive the own vehicle 2 in the vicinity of the other vehicle 51a determines whether the own vehicle 2 collides with the other vehicle 51a at positions 2b and 52. It is thought that the distance between them is measured. At this time, if the pole object 34 is displayed at the position 2b instead of the initial position 2a, it can be expected that the judgment of the collision is enhanced. Therefore, in the case of FIG. 6, the driver performs a moving operation in step S2 of FIG. 3, and the process proceeds to step S3.
　ステップＳ３にて、表示位置制御部１２ｂは、操作信号入力部１１ａで取得された移動操作に基づいてポールオブジェクト３４の表示位置を決定する。表示制御部１２ｃは、ポールオブジェクト３４を、表示位置制御部１２ｂで決定された表示位置に表示するように、仮想表示部２１を制御する。これにより、ポールオブジェクト３４が移動する。その後、ステップＳ２に処理が戻る。 In step S3, the display position control unit 12b determines the display position of the pole object 34 based on the moving operation acquired by the operation signal input unit 11a. The display control unit 12c controls the virtual display unit 21 so that the pole object 34 is displayed at the display position determined by the display position control unit 12b. Thereby, the pole object 34 moves. Thereafter, the process returns to step S2.
　図７は、ステップＳ２及びステップＳ３が行われた時に、自車両の室内からフロントガラス３１越しに見える状態を示す図である。図７に示すように、ステップＳ２及びステップＳ３が繰り返し行われることにより、ポールオブジェクト３４が初期位置から運転者が意図する位置に移動する。なお、仮想表示部２１が虚像を表示するＨＵＤであり、かつ虚像距離が運転席を基準にして規定されている場合には、ポールオブジェクト３４が運転席側から助手席側への方向に移動するにつれて、ポールオブジェクト３４の虚像距離が長くなっていく。 FIG. 7 is a view showing a state where the vehicle can be seen through the windshield 31 from the interior of the host vehicle when Step S2 and Step S3 are performed. As shown in FIG. 7, step S2 and step S3 are repeatedly performed, so that the pole object 34 moves from the initial position to a position intended by the driver. When the virtual display unit 21 is a HUD that displays a virtual image and the virtual image distance is defined based on the driver seat, the pole object 34 moves in the direction from the driver seat side to the passenger seat side. Accordingly, the virtual image distance of the pole object 34 becomes longer.
　図８は、図６の配置関係において、ポールオブジェクト３４が初期位置２ａから位置２ｂに移動した状態を示す図である。この場合、自車両２の運転者は、ポールオブジェクト３４を指標にして位置２ｂ，５２の間の距離を目測しながら、自車両２が他車両５１ａと衝突しないように自車両２を走行させる運転を行うことができる。 FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a state in which the pole object 34 has moved from the initial position 2a to the position 2b in the arrangement relationship of FIG. In this case, the driver of the host vehicle 2 drives the host vehicle 2 so that the host vehicle 2 does not collide with the other vehicle 51a while measuring the distance between the positions 2b and 52 using the pole object 34 as an index. It can be performed.
　＜実施の形態２のまとめ＞
　以上のような本実施の形態２に係る表示制御装置１によれば、ポールオブジェクト３４を移動させる操作に基づいてポールオブジェクト３４を移動させることができる。したがって、ユーザは、意図する位置にポールオブジェクト３４を移動させることができる。 <Summary of Embodiment 2>
According to the display control apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment as described above, the pole object 34 can be moved based on the operation of moving the pole object 34. Therefore, the user can move the pole object 34 to the intended position.
　また本実施の形態２では、ポールオブジェクト３４の初期位置は、自車両のボディのうちの助手席側の前側端部の位置であることから、ポールオブジェクト３４を従来のコーナポールと同様に用いることができる。 In the second embodiment, the initial position of the pole object 34 is the position of the front end on the passenger seat side of the body of the host vehicle, and therefore the pole object 34 is used in the same manner as a conventional corner pole. Can do.
　＜実施の形態２の各変形例＞
　次に、実施の形態２の各変形例について説明する。なお、以下で説明する変形例によっては、ポールオブジェクト３４の色などの表示態様が変更される。このような表示態様の変更は、仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａがポールオブジェクト３４を生成する際に行われてもよいし、表示制御部１２ｃが仮想表示部２１を制御する際に行われてもよい。以下の説明では冗長な記載を低減するために、仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａ、表示位置制御部１２ｂ及び表示制御部１２ｃの少なくともいずれか１つによって動作が行われる場合、その記載の代わりに、制御部１２によって動作が行われると記載することもある。 <Each modification of Embodiment 2>
Next, modifications of the second embodiment will be described. Note that the display mode such as the color of the pole object 34 is changed depending on the modification described below. Such a display mode change may be performed when the virtual display object generation unit 12 a generates the pole object 34, or may be performed when the display control unit 12 c controls the virtual display unit 21. . In the following description, in order to reduce redundant descriptions, when an operation is performed by at least one of the virtual display object generation unit 12a, the display position control unit 12b, and the display control unit 12c, control is performed instead of the description. It may be described that the operation is performed by the unit 12.
　＜実施の形態２の変形例１＞
　上述した実施の形態２に係る表示制御部１２ｃは、仮想表示部２１がＨＵＤである場合には、移動操作に基づいてポールオブジェクト３４の虚像距離及び虚像方向の両方を変更することを想定していた。しかしこれに限ったものではなく、表示制御部１２ｃは、移動操作に基づいてポールオブジェクト３４の虚像距離を変更せずに、ポールオブジェクト３４の虚像方向を変更してもよい。このような構成によれば、虚像距離を変更しないＨＵＤを仮想表示部２１に用いることができる。 <Modification 1 of Embodiment 2>
It is assumed that the display control unit 12c according to the second embodiment described above changes both the virtual image distance and the virtual image direction of the pole object 34 based on the moving operation when the virtual display unit 21 is a HUD. It was. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display control unit 12c may change the virtual image direction of the pole object 34 without changing the virtual image distance of the pole object 34 based on the moving operation. According to such a configuration, a HUD that does not change the virtual image distance can be used for the virtual display unit 21.
　また、運転者によって目の位置が異なることから、ポールオブジェクトの初期位置には適宜キャリブレーションが行われてもよい。キャリブレーションは、運転者の目の位置の検出結果または推定結果に基づいて自動的に実施されてもよいし、運転者がメニュー画面を操作して手動でポールオブジェクトを適切な表示位置に設定することによって実施されてもよい。 Also, since the position of the eyes varies depending on the driver, the initial position of the pole object may be appropriately calibrated. The calibration may be automatically performed based on the detection result or estimation result of the driver's eye position, or the driver manually sets the pole object to an appropriate display position by operating the menu screen. May be implemented.
　＜実施の形態２の変形例２＞
　図示しないが、本変形例に係る表示制御装置１は、図１の情報取得部１１の概念に含まれる車両情報取得部を備えているものとする。 <Modification 2 of Embodiment 2>
Although not shown, the display control apparatus 1 according to the present modification includes a vehicle information acquisition unit included in the concept of the information acquisition unit 11 of FIG.
　図９は、本変形例に係る表示制御装置１の動作を示すフローチャートである。この図９の動作は、図３のステップＳ１とステップＳ２との間にステップＳ１１を追加したものと同様である。 FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the display control apparatus 1 according to this modification. The operation in FIG. 9 is the same as that in which step S11 is added between step S1 and step S2 in FIG.
　ステップＳ１の後、ステップＳ１１にて、車両情報取得部は、自車両の速度を自車両のＥＣＵ（Electronic Control Unit）などから取得する。表示位置制御部１２ｂは、車両情報取得部で取得された自車両の速度が、予め定められた速度（例えば時速１０ｋｍ）よりも小さいか否かを判定する。自車両の速度が、予め定められた速度よりも小さいと判定した場合には処理がステップＳ２に進み、自車両の速度が、予め定められた速度以上であると判定した場合には処理がステップＳ１に戻る。 After step S1, in step S11, the vehicle information acquisition unit acquires the speed of the host vehicle from an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) of the host vehicle. The display position control unit 12b determines whether or not the speed of the host vehicle acquired by the vehicle information acquisition unit is smaller than a predetermined speed (for example, 10 km / h). If it is determined that the speed of the host vehicle is lower than a predetermined speed, the process proceeds to step S2, and if it is determined that the speed of the host vehicle is equal to or higher than the predetermined speed, the process is performed. Return to S1.
　ステップＳ２にて移動操作を取得したと判定した場合には処理がステップＳ３に進み、移動操作を取得しなかったと判定した場合には処理がステップＳ１１に戻る。ステップＳ３の処理が行われた後には処理がステップＳ１１に戻る。 If it is determined in step S2 that the moving operation has been acquired, the process proceeds to step S3. If it is determined that the moving operation has not been acquired, the process returns to step S11. After the process of step S3 is performed, the process returns to step S11.
　以上のような本変形例に係る表示制御装置１によれば、自車両の速度が、予め定められた速度以上である場合には、ポールオブジェクト３４の位置を初期位置に固定する。このような構成によれば、ポールオブジェクト３４が、自車両の走行中に運転者の視覚の邪魔になってしまうことを抑制することができる。 According to the display control apparatus 1 according to this modification as described above, when the speed of the host vehicle is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, the position of the pole object 34 is fixed to the initial position. According to such a configuration, the pole object 34 can be prevented from interfering with the driver's vision while the host vehicle is traveling.
　なお、上述の車両情報取得部は、自車両の速度の代わりに、自車両で自動運転が行われているか否かを示す自動運転情報を、自車両のＥＣＵなどから取得してもよい。そして、図９のステップＳ１１にて、表示位置制御部１２ｂは、車両情報取得部で取得された自動運転情報が自車両で自動運転が行われていることを示しているか否かを判定してもよい。自車両で自動運転が行われていることを示していない場合には、処理がステップＳ２に進み、自車両にて自動運転が行われていることを示している場合には、処理がステップＳ１に戻るように動作が行われてもよい。このように構成された表示位置制御部１２ｂは、自動運転情報が自車両にて自動運転が行われていることを示す場合に、ポールオブジェクト３４の位置を初期位置に固定する。このような構成によれば、上述と同様に、ポールオブジェクト３４が、自車両の自動運転中に運転者の視覚の邪魔になってしまうことを抑制することができる。 Note that the vehicle information acquisition unit described above may acquire automatic driving information indicating whether or not automatic driving is being performed on the own vehicle from the ECU of the own vehicle, instead of the speed of the own vehicle. Then, in step S11 of FIG. 9, the display position control unit 12b determines whether or not the automatic driving information acquired by the vehicle information acquisition unit indicates that automatic driving is being performed on the host vehicle. Also good. If it is not indicated that the vehicle is performing automatic driving, the process proceeds to step S2, and if the vehicle is indicating that automatic driving is being performed, the process proceeds to step S1. The operation may be performed so as to return to step (b). The display position control unit 12b configured in this manner fixes the position of the pole object 34 at the initial position when the automatic driving information indicates that automatic driving is being performed in the host vehicle. According to such a configuration, similarly to the above, it is possible to suppress the pole object 34 from interfering with the driver's vision during the automatic driving of the host vehicle.
　＜実施の形態２の変形例３＞
　図示しないが、本変形例に係る表示制御装置１は、図１の情報取得部１１の概念に含まれる周辺明度取得部を備えているものとする。周辺明度取得部は、明るさセンサで取得された自車両周辺の明るさを取得したり、自車両にてイルミネーション表示が行われている場合にイルミネーション信号を取得したりする。 <Modification 3 of Embodiment 2>
Although not shown, the display control device 1 according to the present modification includes a peripheral brightness acquisition unit included in the concept of the information acquisition unit 11 of FIG. The surrounding brightness acquisition unit acquires the brightness around the host vehicle acquired by the brightness sensor, or acquires an illumination signal when an illumination display is performed on the host vehicle.
　制御部１２は、周辺明度取得部で取得された自車両周辺の明るさが閾値以下である場合、または、イルミネーション信号が周辺明度取得部で取得された場合に、ポールオブジェクト３４の色及び明るさを、暗い環境下でも目立つ色及び明るさに変更する。このような構成によれば、暗い環境下でもポールオブジェクト３４を見えやすくすることができる。なお、本明細書において色とは、１つの色を含むだけでなく、複数の色を組み合わせた模様などの色調も含む。 The control unit 12 determines the color and brightness of the pole object 34 when the brightness around the host vehicle acquired by the surrounding brightness acquisition unit is equal to or less than the threshold value or when the illumination signal is acquired by the surrounding brightness acquisition unit. Is changed to a conspicuous color and brightness even in a dark environment. According to such a configuration, the pole object 34 can be easily seen even in a dark environment. Note that the color in this specification includes not only a single color but also a color tone such as a combination of a plurality of colors.
　＜実施の形態２の変形例４＞
　実施の形態２では、図２の操作入力部２２にはタッチパネルが用いられるものとして説明したが、これに限ったものではない。例えば、操作入力部２２に、運転者の指が指す指示方向を検出するジェスチャ操作入力装置が用いられてもよい。そして、表示制御装置１は、ジェスチャ操作入力装置で指示方向が検出された場合に、当該指示方向上の位置に、ポールオブジェクト３４を移動させてもよい。または、表示制御装置１は、ジェスチャ操作入力装置で検出された指示方向にポールオブジェクト３４が存在すると判定した後に、ジェスチャ操作入力装置で別の指示方向が検出された場合に、当該別の指示方向上の位置に、ポールオブジェクト３４を移動させてもよい。 <Modification 4 of Embodiment 2>
In the second embodiment, the operation input unit 22 in FIG. 2 has been described as using a touch panel. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a gesture operation input device that detects an instruction direction indicated by the driver's finger may be used as the operation input unit 22. Then, when the pointing direction is detected by the gesture operation input device, the display control device 1 may move the pole object 34 to a position on the pointing direction. Alternatively, when the display control apparatus 1 determines that the pole object 34 exists in the instruction direction detected by the gesture operation input device, and when another instruction direction is detected by the gesture operation input device, the other instruction direction The pole object 34 may be moved to the upper position.
　また例えば、操作入力部２２に、運転者の視線方向を検出する視線操作入力装置が用いられてもよい。そして、表示制御装置１は、視線操作入力装置で検出された視線方向にポールオブジェクト３４が存在すると判定した後に、視線操作入力装置で別の視線方向が検出された場合に、当該別の視線方向上の位置に、ポールオブジェクト３４を移動させてもよい。 For example, a line-of-sight operation input device that detects the driver's line-of-sight direction may be used as the operation input unit 22. Then, after determining that the pole object 34 is present in the line-of-sight direction detected by the line-of-sight operation input device, the display control device 1 determines another line-of-sight direction when another line-of-sight direction is detected by the line-of-sight operation input device. The pole object 34 may be moved to the upper position.
　また例えば、操作入力部２２に、ジェスチャ操作入力装置及び音声操作入力装置の両方が用いられてもよい。 For example, both the gesture operation input device and the voice operation input device may be used for the operation input unit 22.
　図１０は、操作入力部２２に、ジェスチャ操作入力装置及び音声操作入力装置を用いた場合の、本変形例に係る表示制御装置１の動作を示すフローチャートである。この図１０の動作は、図３のステップＳ１の前にステップＳ２１を追加し、図３のステップＳ２をステップＳ２２～２５に置き換えたものと同様である。 FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the display control apparatus 1 according to this modification when a gesture operation input device and a voice operation input device are used as the operation input unit 22. The operation in FIG. 10 is the same as that in which step S21 is added before step S1 in FIG. 3 and step S2 in FIG. 3 is replaced with steps S22 to S25.
　まずステップＳ２１にて、制御部１２は、操作入力部２２ひいては操作信号入力部１１ａが、ポールオブジェクト３４を表示するための表示コマンドの音声、例えば「コーナポール表示」という音声を取得したか否かを判定する。表示コマンドの音声を取得したと判定した場合には処理がステップＳ１に進み、表示コマンドの音声を取得しなかったと判定した場合にはステップＳ２１の処理を再度行う。 First, in step S21, the control unit 12 determines whether or not the operation input unit 22 and thus the operation signal input unit 11a have acquired a display command sound for displaying the pole object 34, for example, a “corner pole display” sound. Determine. If it is determined that the voice of the display command has been acquired, the process proceeds to step S1, and if it is determined that the voice of the display command has not been acquired, the process of step S21 is performed again.
　その後、ステップＳ１にて、制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４を初期位置に表示するように、仮想表示部２１を制御する。 Thereafter, in step S1, the control unit 12 controls the virtual display unit 21 so as to display the pole object 34 at the initial position.
　ステップＳ１の後のステップＳ２２にて、制御部１２は、操作入力部２２ひいては操作信号入力部１１ａが、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示を消去するための消去コマンドの音声、例えば「コーナポール消去」という音声を取得したか否かを判定する。消去コマンドの音声を取得したと判定した場合には処理がステップＳ２３に進み、消去コマンドの音声を取得しなかったと判定した場合には処理がステップＳ２４に進む。 In step S22 after step S1, the control unit 12 causes the operation input unit 22 and, in turn, the operation signal input unit 11a to erase a voice of an erasure command for erasing the display of the pole object 34, for example, a voice of “Corner Pole Erase”. It is determined whether or not If it is determined that the erase command voice has been acquired, the process proceeds to step S23. If it is determined that the erase command voice has not been acquired, the process proceeds to step S24.
　ステップＳ２３にて、制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示を消去するように、仮想表示部２１を制御する。これにより、ポールオブジェクト３４が消去される。その後、ステップＳ２１に処理が戻る。 In step S23, the control unit 12 controls the virtual display unit 21 so as to erase the display of the pole object 34. Thereby, the pole object 34 is deleted. Thereafter, the process returns to step S21.
　ステップＳ２４にて、制御部１２は、操作入力部２２ひいては操作信号入力部１１ａが、ポールオブジェクト３４を移動するための移動コマンドの音声、例えば「コーナポール移動」という音声を取得し、かつ、ポールオブジェクト３４を指すジェスチャ操作を取得したか否かを判定する。つまり、制御部１２は、図１１のように運転者が、ポールオブジェクト３４と同じ指示方向を指しながら、移動コマンドを発声したかを判定する。移動コマンドの音声と、当該指示方向を指すジェスチャ操作とを取得したと判定した場合には処理がステップＳ２５に進み、そうでない場合には処理がステップＳ２２に戻る。なお、処理がステップＳ２５に進む場合において、制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４の先端を点滅表示させてもよい。 In step S24, the control unit 12 acquires the voice of the movement command for moving the pole object 34, for example, the voice of “movement of the corner pole” by the operation input unit 22 and the operation signal input unit 11a. It is determined whether or not a gesture operation pointing to the object 34 has been acquired. That is, the control unit 12 determines whether the driver has issued a movement command while pointing in the same direction as the pole object 34 as shown in FIG. If it is determined that the voice of the movement command and the gesture operation indicating the designated direction have been acquired, the process proceeds to step S25, and if not, the process returns to step S22. When the process proceeds to step S25, the control unit 12 may cause the tip of the pole object 34 to blink.
　ステップＳ２５にて、制御部１２は、操作入力部２２ひいては操作信号入力部１１ａが、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示位置を決定するための決定コマンドの音声、例えば「コーナポール決定」という音声を取得し、かつ、ポールオブジェクト３４とは別の指示方向を指すジェスチャ操作を取得したか否かを判定する。つまり、制御部１２は、図１２のように運転者が、ポールオブジェクト３４とは別の指示方向を指しながら、決定コマンドを発声したかを判定する。決定コマンドの音声と、当該別の指示方向を指すジェスチャ操作とを取得したと判定した場合には処理がステップＳ３に進み、そうでない場合にはステップＳ２５の処理が再度行われる。なお、ステップＳ２５の処理が一定回数行われても決定コマンドの音声と、別の指示方向を指すジェスチャ操作とを取得しなかったと判定した場合にはステップＳ２２に戻ってもよい。 In step S25, the control unit 12 obtains a voice of a determination command for the operation input unit 22 and thus the operation signal input unit 11a to determine the display position of the pole object 34, for example, a voice “decide a corner pole”, In addition, it is determined whether or not a gesture operation indicating an instruction direction different from the pole object 34 has been acquired. That is, the control unit 12 determines whether the driver has issued a determination command while pointing in a different direction from the pole object 34 as shown in FIG. If it is determined that the voice of the determination command and the gesture operation pointing to the other instruction direction have been acquired, the process proceeds to step S3. If not, the process of step S25 is performed again. If it is determined that the voice of the determination command and the gesture operation indicating another instruction direction are not acquired even if the process of step S25 is performed a certain number of times, the process may return to step S22.
　ステップＳ３にて、制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４を上述した別の指示方向に表示するように、仮想表示部２１を制御する。その後、ステップＳ２２に処理が戻る。 In step S3, the control unit 12 controls the virtual display unit 21 so that the pole object 34 is displayed in the different instruction direction described above. Thereafter, the process returns to step S22.
　なお、以上の説明では、操作入力部２２に、ジェスチャ操作入力装置及び音声操作入力装置の両方を用いた構成について説明した。しかしこれに限ったものではなく、例えば操作入力部２２に、視線操作入力装置及び音声操作入力装置の両方を用いても、上述と同様の動作を実現することができる。 In the above description, the configuration in which both the gesture operation input device and the voice operation input device are used for the operation input unit 22 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even when both the line-of-sight operation input device and the voice operation input device are used as the operation input unit 22, the same operation as described above can be realized.
　また、操作入力部２２に、ジェスチャ操作入力装置のみを用いた構成であって、表示コマンドなどの各種コマンドを音声から取得する代わりに、運転者の指の揺動などのような特定のジェスチャ操作を取得する構成であっても、上記と同様の動作を実現することができる。 Further, only the gesture operation input device is used as the operation input unit 22, and instead of acquiring various commands such as display commands from voice, a specific gesture operation such as swinging of a driver's finger is performed. Even with the configuration for acquiring the above, the same operation as described above can be realized.

　図１３は、本発明の実施の形態３に係る表示制御装置１の構成を示すブロック図である。以下、本実施の形態３で説明する構成要素のうち、上述の構成要素と同じまたは類似する構成要素については同じ参照符号を付し、異なる構成要素について主に説明する。 <Embodiment 3>
FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the display control apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Hereinafter, among the constituent elements described in the third embodiment, constituent elements that are the same as or similar to the constituent elements described above are assigned the same reference numerals, and different constituent elements are mainly described.
　表示制御装置１内部の構成について説明する前に、周辺検出部２３について説明する。なお、仮想表示部２１及び操作入力部２２は実施の形態２と同様である。 Before describing the internal configuration of the display control device 1, the periphery detection unit 23 will be described. The virtual display unit 21 and the operation input unit 22 are the same as those in the second embodiment.

This information includes relative positions of the obstacle and the host vehicle. For example, at least one of an ultrasonic sensor, an image recognition device, a laser radar, a millimeter wave radar, an acoustic recognition device, and a night vision camera may be used for the periphery detection unit 23. A sensing device may be used.
　次に、図１３の表示制御装置１内部の構成について説明する。図１３の表示制御装置１は、図２の表示制御装置１に、車外情報入力部１１ｂ、及び、相対位置取得部１１ｃが追加された構成と同様である。なお、車外情報入力部１１ｂ、及び、相対位置取得部１１ｃは、図１の情報取得部１１の概念に含まれる。 Next, the internal configuration of the display control device 1 in FIG. 13 will be described. The display control device 1 in FIG. 13 has the same configuration as the display control device 1 in FIG. 2 in which an outside information input unit 11b and a relative position acquisition unit 11c are added. The vehicle outside information input unit 11b and the relative position acquisition unit 11c are included in the concept of the information acquisition unit 11 in FIG.
　車外情報入力部１１ｂは、自車両周辺の障害物に関する情報を周辺検出部２３から取得する。この情報には、障害物と自車両とについての相対位置の情報が含まれる。 The outside-vehicle information input unit 11b acquires information related to obstacles around the host vehicle from the surroundings detection unit 23. This information includes information on relative positions of the obstacle and the host vehicle.
　相対位置取得部１１ｃには、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された相対位置を求めるために必要な自車両内のいずれかの位置である自車両内部位置が、予め記憶されている。相対位置取得部１１ｃは、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物と自車両とについての相対位置と、予め記憶された自車両内部位置と、表示位置制御部１２ｂで決定したポールオブジェクト３４の位置とに基づいて、障害物とポールオブジェクト３４とについての相対位置を取得する。 The relative position acquisition unit 11c stores in advance the own vehicle internal position, which is any position in the own vehicle necessary for obtaining the relative position acquired by the outside information input unit 11b. The relative position acquisition unit 11c includes the relative position of the obstacle and the host vehicle acquired by the vehicle outside information input unit 11b, the host vehicle internal position stored in advance, and the pole object 34 determined by the display position control unit 12b. Based on the position, a relative position between the obstacle and the pole object 34 is acquired.
　制御部１２は、相対位置取得部１１ｃで取得された障害物とポールオブジェクト３４とについての相対位置に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更する。本実施の形態３では、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された相対位置に基づいて障害物とポールオブジェクト３４との間の距離であるポール距離を求め、当該ポール距離に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の色を変更する。 The control unit 12 changes the display mode of the pole object 34 based on the relative position of the obstacle and the pole object 34 acquired by the relative position acquisition unit 11c. In the third embodiment, the control unit 12 obtains a pole distance that is a distance between the obstacle and the pole object 34 based on the relative position acquired by the vehicle outside information input unit 11b, and based on the pole distance. The color of the pole object 34 is changed.
　＜動作＞
　図１４は、本実施の形態３に係る表示制御装置１の動作を示すフローチャートである。この図１４の動作は、図３のステップＳ３の後にステップＳ３１を追加したものと同様である。 <Operation>
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the display control apparatus 1 according to the third embodiment. The operation in FIG. 14 is the same as that in which step S31 is added after step S3 in FIG.
　ステップＳ３１にて、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された相対位置に基づいて、上述したポール距離を求め、当該ポール距離に基づいてポールオブジェクト３４の色を変更する。例えば、図１５に示すように、障害物５１とポールオブジェクト３４との間のポール距離ｄｐが、予め定められた第１距離（例えば４０ｃｍ）よりも大きい場合には、制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４の色を水色などの安全色に変更する。図１６に示すように、ポール距離ｄｐが、第１距離以下で、かつ予め定められた第２距離（例えば２０ｃｍ）よりも大きい場合には、制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４の色を黄色などの注意色に変更する。図１７に示すように、ポール距離ｄｐが、第２距離以下である場合には、制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４の色を赤色などの警報色に変更する。ステップＳ３１の後、処理がステップＳ２に戻る。 In step S31, the control unit 12 obtains the above-described pole distance based on the relative position acquired by the vehicle exterior information input unit 11b, and changes the color of the pole object 34 based on the pole distance. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, when the pole distance dp between the obstacle 51 and the pole object 34 is larger than a predetermined first distance (for example, 40 cm), the control unit 12 The 34 color is changed to a safety color such as light blue. As shown in FIG. 16, when the pole distance dp is equal to or smaller than the first distance and larger than a predetermined second distance (for example, 20 cm), the control unit 12 changes the color of the pole object 34 to yellow or the like. Change to the attention color. As shown in FIG. 17, when the pole distance dp is equal to or less than the second distance, the control unit 12 changes the color of the pole object 34 to an alarm color such as red. After step S31, the process returns to step S2.
　＜実施の形態３のまとめ＞
　　以上のような本実施の形態３に係る表示制御装置１によれば、自車両周辺の障害物とポールオブジェクト３４とについての相対位置に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更する。このような構成によれば、運転者は、ポールオブジェクト３４を移動させた時の、ポールオブジェクト３４の色などの表示態様の変化によって、ポール距離などの相対位置関係を知ることができる。 <Summary of Embodiment 3>
According to the display control device 1 according to the third embodiment as described above, the display mode of the pole object 34 is changed based on the relative position of the obstacle around the host vehicle and the pole object 34. According to such a configuration, the driver can know the relative positional relationship such as the pole distance by changing the display mode such as the color of the pole object 34 when the pole object 34 is moved.
　なお、以上の説明では、制御部１２は、ポール距離に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の色を変更したがこれに限ったものではない。例えば、図１８に示すように、障害物５１のうちポールオブジェクト３４との間の距離が最も短い部分５３が、ポールオブジェクト３４から前方に広がる扇形の範囲３５内に位置するか否かに基づいて、制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４の色を変更してもよい。 In the above description, the control unit 12 changes the color of the pole object 34 based on the pole distance, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, based on whether or not the portion 53 of the obstacle 51 that has the shortest distance from the pole object 34 is located within a fan-shaped range 35 that extends forward from the pole object 34. The control unit 12 may change the color of the pole object 34.
　また、以上の説明では、制御部１２によって変更される表示態様は、ポールオブジェクト３４の色であるものとして説明した。しかしこれに限ったものではなく、制御部１２によって変更される表示態様は、例えばポールオブジェクト３４の点滅などのアニメーションの有無、色、形状、及び、模様の少なくともいずれか１つであってもよい。 In the above description, the display mode changed by the control unit 12 has been described as the color of the pole object 34. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display mode changed by the control unit 12 may be at least one of presence / absence of animation such as blinking of the pole object 34, color, shape, and pattern. .
　＜実施の形態３の各変形例＞
　次に、実施の形態３の各変形例について説明する。なお、詳細には説明しないが、実施の形態３に実施の形態２の各変形例を適宜組み合わせてもよいし、実施の形態２に実施の形態３の各変形例を適宜組み合わせてもよい。 <Each modification of Embodiment 3>
Next, modifications of the third embodiment will be described. Although not described in detail, each modification of the second embodiment may be appropriately combined with the third embodiment, or each modification of the third embodiment may be appropriately combined with the second embodiment.
　＜実施の形態３の変形例１＞
　実施の形態３では、制御部１２は、相対位置取得部１１ｃで取得された障害物とポールオブジェクト３４とについての相対位置に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更したが、これに限ったものではない。例えば、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物と自車両とについての相対位置に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更してもよい。具体的には、制御部１２は、障害物と自車両のバンパーとの間の距離に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更してもよい。より具体的には、制御部１２は、障害物と自車両のバンパーとの間の距離が、当該障害物と当該バンパーとが接触する可能性が高い距離（例えば５ｃｍ）以下であるか否かに基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更してもよい。 <Modification 1 of Embodiment 3>
In the third embodiment, the control unit 12 changes the display mode of the pole object 34 based on the relative position of the obstacle and the pole object 34 acquired by the relative position acquisition unit 11c. It is not a thing. For example, the control unit 12 may change the display mode of the pole object 34 based on the relative position of the obstacle and the host vehicle acquired by the outside information input unit 11b. Specifically, the control unit 12 may change the display mode of the pole object 34 based on the distance between the obstacle and the bumper of the host vehicle. More specifically, the control unit 12 determines whether or not the distance between the obstacle and the bumper of the host vehicle is equal to or less than a distance (for example, 5 cm) where the obstacle and the bumper are likely to contact each other. Based on the above, the display mode of the pole object 34 may be changed.
　＜実施の形態３の変形例２＞
　図１３の周辺検出部２３は、自車両周辺の障害物の色をさらに検出し、車外情報入力部１１ｂは、周辺検出部２３で検出された障害物の色をさらに取得してもよい。そして、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物の色に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の色を変更してもよい。例えば、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物の色と同一または類似する色に、ポールオブジェクト３４の色を変更してもよい。ここでいう色は、上述したように、１つの色を含むだけでなく、複数の色を組み合わせた模様などの色調も含む。 <Modification 2 of Embodiment 3>
The periphery detection unit 23 in FIG. 13 may further detect the color of an obstacle around the host vehicle, and the vehicle outside information input unit 11b may further acquire the color of the obstacle detected by the periphery detection unit 23. And the control part 12 may change the color of the pole object 34 based on the color of the obstruction acquired by the vehicle exterior information input part 11b. For example, the control unit 12 may change the color of the pole object 34 to a color that is the same as or similar to the color of the obstacle acquired by the outside-vehicle information input unit 11b. As described above, the color here includes not only one color but also a color tone such as a pattern in which a plurality of colors are combined.
　また、周辺検出部２３が、自車両周辺の複数の障害物のそれぞれについて、障害物とポールオブジェクト３４との相対位置、及び、障害物の色を検出し、車外情報入力部１１ｂが、周辺検出部２３で検出されたそれら情報を取得してもよい。そして、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された、複数の障害物のそれぞれについての相対位置及び色に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の色を変更してもよい。例えば、制御部１２は、図１９に示すように、複数の障害物５１のうちポールオブジェクト３４に最も近い障害物の色に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の色を変更してもよい。図１９の例では、ポールオブジェクト３４が障害物５１ｂに近い場合に、ポールオブジェクト３４の色調は障害物５１ｂの色調と同じとなるように変更され、ポールオブジェクト３４が障害物５１ｃに近い場合に、ポールオブジェクト３４の色は障害物５１ｃの色と同じとなるように変更されている。 In addition, the surrounding detection unit 23 detects the relative position between the obstacle and the pole object 34 and the color of the obstacle for each of a plurality of obstacles around the host vehicle, and the outside information input unit 11b detects the surroundings. The information detected by the unit 23 may be acquired. And the control part 12 may change the color of the pole object 34 based on the relative position and color about each of several obstacles which were acquired by the vehicle exterior information input part 11b. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 19, the control unit 12 may change the color of the pole object 34 based on the color of the obstacle closest to the pole object 34 among the plurality of obstacles 51. In the example of FIG. 19, when the pole object 34 is close to the obstacle 51b, the color tone of the pole object 34 is changed to be the same as the color tone of the obstacle 51b, and when the pole object 34 is close to the obstacle 51c, The color of the pole object 34 is changed to be the same as the color of the obstacle 51c.
　このような構成によれば、運転者は、自車両のどの部分がどの障害物に近いか、ひいてはどの障害物が自車両の走行に影響を及ぼすかを判断することができる。 According to such a configuration, the driver can determine which part of the own vehicle is close to which obstacle, and which obstacle affects the running of the own vehicle.
　なお、図１９の例では、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物の色に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の全ての部分の色を変更したが、これに限ったものではない。例えば、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物の色に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の一部（例えば先端など）の色を変更してもよい。そしてこの構成において、制御部１２は、障害物とポールオブジェクト３４とについての相対位置に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の残部（例えば側面）の色を変更してもよい。 In the example of FIG. 19, the control unit 12 has changed the color of all parts of the pole object 34 based on the color of the obstacle acquired by the outside information input unit 11b. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Absent. For example, the control unit 12 may change the color of a part of the pole object 34 (for example, the tip) based on the color of the obstacle acquired by the outside information input unit 11b. In this configuration, the control unit 12 may change the color of the remaining part (for example, the side surface) of the pole object 34 based on the relative position between the obstacle and the pole object 34.
　＜実施の形態３の変形例３＞
　本変形例では、制御部１２は、自車両内で表示可能な、仮想表示部２１とは別の表示部（図示せず）を制御することが可能となっており、図１３の周辺検出部２３はカメラを含むものとする。この場合に、周辺検出部２３は、自車両周辺をカメラで撮像し、車外情報入力部１１ｂは、当該画像を周辺検出部２３から取得してもよい。そして、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された画像を、自車両内で表示可能な別の表示部に表示させ、当該画像にポールオブジェクト３４に対応する表示オブジェクトを重畳させてもよい。なお、ポールオブジェクト３４に対応する表示オブジェクトとは、ポールオブジェクト３４と同一または類似する表示オブジェクトである。 <Modification 3 of Embodiment 3>
In this modification, the control unit 12 can control a display unit (not shown) different from the virtual display unit 21 that can be displayed in the host vehicle. 23 includes a camera. In this case, the periphery detection unit 23 may capture the periphery of the host vehicle with a camera, and the vehicle information input unit 11b may acquire the image from the periphery detection unit 23. And the control part 12 displays the image acquired by the vehicle exterior information input part 11b on another display part which can be displayed within the own vehicle, and superimposes the display object corresponding to the pole object 34 on the said image. Good. The display object corresponding to the pole object 34 is a display object that is the same as or similar to the pole object 34.
　図２０は、自車両２と、障害物である他車両５１ａとの配置関係の一例を示す図である。図２１は、図２０の配置関係において、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得され、別の表示部に表示された画像３６に、ポールオブジェクト３４に対応する表示オブジェクトである対応ポールオブジェクト３７が重畳された状態を示す図である。なお、図２０の他車両５１ａの前側部分は左側に傾いているので、その画像においても厳密には他車両５１ａの前側部分は左側に傾くが、重要な点ではないので便宜上、図２１の画像においては他車両の前側部分は傾かないように示されている。 FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of an arrangement relationship between the host vehicle 2 and another vehicle 51a that is an obstacle. FIG. 21 shows that the corresponding pole object 37, which is a display object corresponding to the pole object 34, is superimposed on the image 36 acquired by the outside information input unit 11b and displayed on another display unit in the arrangement relationship of FIG. It is a figure which shows a state. Since the front portion of the other vehicle 51a in FIG. 20 is inclined to the left side, strictly speaking, the front portion of the other vehicle 51a is inclined to the left side in the image, but this is not an important point. In FIG. 1, the front portion of the other vehicle is shown not to tilt.
　以上のような本変形例の構成によれば、運転者は、直接見た風景と、カメラから見える風景との対応付けを、ポールオブジェクト３４と対応ポールオブジェクト３７とによって容易に行うことができる。 According to the configuration of the present modification as described above, the driver can easily associate the scenery seen directly with the scenery seen from the camera by the pole object 34 and the corresponding pole object 37.
　なお以上の構成では、別の表示部に、一般的な表示装置を用いた場合を想定していた。しかしこれに限ったものではなく、別の表示部に、立体視を利用した仮想的な表示オブジェクトを表示可能な表示装置が用いられてもよい。また、その場合に、対応ポールオブジェクト３７に、仮想的な表示オブジェクトが適用されてもよい。 In the above configuration, it is assumed that a general display device is used for another display unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a display device capable of displaying a virtual display object using stereoscopic vision may be used on another display unit. In that case, a virtual display object may be applied to the corresponding pole object 37.
　＜実施の形態３の変形例４＞
　実施の形態３では、制御部１２は、運転者の移動操作に基づいてポールオブジェクト３４を移動させることを想定していた。しかしこれに限ったものではなく、制御部１２は、自車両のフェンダー及び前側バンパーのどこかと重なる範囲内において、助手席及び運転席の一方側から他方側にポールオブジェクト３４を自動的に移動させてもよい。このような構成によれば、運転者が、障害物と自車両とについての相対位置関係を表示態様の変化によって知ろうとする際に、ポールオブジェクト３４の移動操作を行う必要がなくなるので、運転者の負担を軽減することができる。 <Modification 4 of Embodiment 3>
In Embodiment 3, the control part 12 assumed moving the pole object 34 based on a driver | operator's moving operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the control unit 12 automatically moves the pole object 34 from one side of the passenger seat and the driver seat to the other side within a range where the vehicle fender and the front bumper overlap. May be. According to such a configuration, the driver does not need to perform the moving operation of the pole object 34 when the driver tries to know the relative positional relationship between the obstacle and the host vehicle by changing the display mode. Can be reduced.
　＜実施の形態３の変形例５＞
　実施の形態３に係る制御部１２は、図２２及び図２３の二点鎖線に示すように、移動操作に基づいて、自車両のフェンダー及び前側バンパーのどこかと重なる範囲内でポールオブジェクト３４を移動させた。しかしこれに限ったものではなく、制御部１２は、図２２及び図２３の実線に示すように、移動操作に基づいて、自車両２のフェンダー及び前側バンパーから離間するように、自車両２の前方にポールオブジェクト３４を移動させてもよい。なお、ポールオブジェクト３４と、自車両２のフェンダー及び前側バンパーとの最大の離間距離には、例えば１０ｃｍ程度の距離が用いられる。 <Modification 5 of Embodiment 3>
The control unit 12 according to the third embodiment moves the pole object 34 within a range that overlaps with the fender and the front bumper of the host vehicle based on the moving operation, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIGS. 22 and 23. I let you. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown by the solid lines in FIGS. 22 and 23, the control unit 12 is configured to move away from the fender and the front bumper of the host vehicle 2 based on the moving operation. The pole object 34 may be moved forward. For example, a distance of about 10 cm is used as the maximum separation distance between the pole object 34 and the fender and front bumper of the host vehicle 2.
　このような構成によれば、ポールオブジェクト３４が自車両２のフェンダー及び前側バンパーから離れて移動している際にも、制御部１２は、実施の形態３で説明した動作を行うことができる。つまり、ポールオブジェクト３４が自車両２のフェンダー及び前側バンパーから離れて移動している際にも、制御部１２は、自車両周辺の障害物とポールオブジェクト３４との間のポール距離に基づいてポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更することができる。このため、運転者は、ポールオブジェクト３４を障害物側に移動させることによって、自車両と障害物とがどれぐらい離れているかを確認することができる。 According to such a configuration, the control unit 12 can perform the operation described in the third embodiment even when the pole object 34 is moving away from the fender and the front bumper of the host vehicle 2. That is, even when the pole object 34 is moving away from the fender and the front bumper of the host vehicle 2, the control unit 12 determines the pole based on the pole distance between the obstacle around the host vehicle and the pole object 34. The display mode of the object 34 can be changed. Therefore, the driver can confirm how far the vehicle is from the obstacle by moving the pole object 34 to the obstacle side.
　なお、この移動の際に、ポールオブジェクト３４が障害物と接触する位置に達した場合に、制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を、接触したことを示す特別の表示態様に変化させてもよいし、接触したことを示す文字や図形などの表示オブジェクトを仮想表示部２１にさらに表示させてもよい。 In this movement, when the pole object 34 reaches a position where it comes into contact with an obstacle, the control unit 12 changes the display mode of the pole object 34 to a special display mode indicating that it has touched. Alternatively, a display object such as a character or a graphic indicating contact may be further displayed on the virtual display unit 21.
　＜実施の形態４＞
　本発明の実施の形態４に係る表示制御装置１のブロック構成は、実施の形態３に係る表示制御装置１のブロック構成（図１３）と同様である。以下、本実施の形態４で説明する構成要素のうち、上述の構成要素と同じまたは類似する構成要素については同じ参照符号を付し、異なる構成要素について主に説明する。 <Embodiment 4>
The block configuration of the display control apparatus 1 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is the same as the block configuration (FIG. 13) of the display control apparatus 1 according to the third embodiment. Hereinafter, among the constituent elements described in the fourth embodiment, constituent elements that are the same as or similar to the constituent elements described above are assigned the same reference numerals, and different constituent elements are mainly described.
　本実施の形態４では、制御部１２は、第２表示オブジェクトを仮想表示部２１にさらに表示させる。ここでは、第２表示オブジェクトには、コーナポールに相当し、かつ実物のコーナポールと同様に固定されたポールを示す表示オブジェクトが用いられる。 In the fourth embodiment, the control unit 12 causes the virtual display unit 21 to further display the second display object. Here, as the second display object, a display object corresponding to a corner pole and indicating a fixed pole in the same manner as the actual corner pole is used.
　なお、本実施の形態４の説明においては、これまでの説明でポールオブジェクトと記した第１表示オブジェクトを「補助ポールオブジェクト」と記し、第２表示オブジェクトを「主ポールオブジェクト」と記す。 In the description of the fourth embodiment, the first display object described as the pole object in the above description is referred to as “auxiliary pole object”, and the second display object is referred to as “main pole object”.
　図２４及び図２５は、自車両の室内からフロントガラス３１越しに見える状態を示す図である。図２４及び図２５に示すように、制御部１２は、これまで説明したポールオブジェクトと同様に、情報取得部１１で取得された移動操作に基づいて、自車両のボディの前側端部に対応する予め定められた範囲内で補助ポールオブジェクト３８を移動させる。一方、制御部１２は、情報取得部１１で取得された移動操作に関わらず、主ポールオブジェクト３９を、一般的なコーナポールの位置のように、自車両のボディのうちの助手席側の前側端部の位置に固定する。なお、補助ポールオブジェクト３８の表示態様と、主ポールオブジェクト３９の表示態様とは互いに異なり、かつ類似する。 FIGS. 24 and 25 are views showing a state where the vehicle can be seen through the windshield 31 from the interior of the host vehicle. As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the control unit 12 corresponds to the front side end portion of the body of the host vehicle based on the movement operation acquired by the information acquisition unit 11, similarly to the pole object described so far. The auxiliary pole object 38 is moved within a predetermined range. On the other hand, regardless of the movement operation acquired by the information acquisition unit 11, the control unit 12 moves the main pole object 39 to the front side on the passenger seat side of the body of the host vehicle, like the position of a general corner pole. Secure at the end position. The display mode of the auxiliary pole object 38 and the display mode of the main pole object 39 are different from each other and similar.

　図２６は、本実施の形態４に係る表示制御装置１の動作を示すフローチャートである。 <Operation>
FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing the operation of the display control apparatus 1 according to the fourth embodiment.
　まずステップＳ４１にて、仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａは、操作信号入力部１１ａで取得された移動操作などに基づいて主ポールオブジェクト３９及び補助ポールオブジェクト３８を生成する。表示位置制御部１２ｂは、主ポールオブジェクト３９及び補助ポールオブジェクト３８の表示位置を初期位置に決定する。これにより、表示制御部１２ｃは、主ポールオブジェクト３９及び補助ポールオブジェクト３８を初期位置に表示するように仮想表示部２１を制御する。この結果、図２４の状態となる。 First, in step S41, the virtual display object generation unit 12a generates the main pole object 39 and the auxiliary pole object 38 based on the movement operation acquired by the operation signal input unit 11a. The display position control unit 12b determines the display positions of the main pole object 39 and the auxiliary pole object 38 as initial positions. Thereby, the display control unit 12c controls the virtual display unit 21 so that the main pole object 39 and the auxiliary pole object 38 are displayed at the initial positions. As a result, the state shown in FIG. 24 is obtained.
　その後、図２６のステップＳ４２にて、表示位置制御部１２ｂは、操作信号入力部１１ａが移動操作を取得したか否かを判定する。移動操作を取得したと判定した場合には処理がステップＳ４３に進み、移動操作を取得しなかったと判定した場合にはステップＳ４２の処理が再度行われる。 Thereafter, in step S42 of FIG. 26, the display position control unit 12b determines whether or not the operation signal input unit 11a has acquired a movement operation. If it is determined that the moving operation has been acquired, the process proceeds to step S43. If it is determined that the moving operation has not been acquired, the process of step S42 is performed again.
　ステップＳ４３にて、表示位置制御部１２ｂは、操作信号入力部１１ａで取得された移動操作に基づいて補助ポールオブジェクト３８の表示位置を決定する。表示制御部１２ｃは、補助ポールオブジェクト３８を、表示位置制御部１２ｂで決定された表示位置に表示するように、仮想表示部２１を制御する。これにより、主ポールオブジェクト３９は移動せずに、補助ポールオブジェクト３８が移動する。その後、ステップＳ４２に処理が戻る。 In step S43, the display position control unit 12b determines the display position of the auxiliary pole object 38 based on the moving operation acquired by the operation signal input unit 11a. The display control unit 12c controls the virtual display unit 21 so that the auxiliary pole object 38 is displayed at the display position determined by the display position control unit 12b. As a result, the auxiliary pole object 38 moves without moving the main pole object 39. Thereafter, the process returns to step S42.
　＜実施の形態４のまとめ＞
　以上のような本実施の形態４に係る表示制御装置１によれば、主ポールオブジェクト３９を移動させずに、補助ポールオブジェクト３８を移動させる操作に基づいて補助ポールオブジェクト３８を移動させる。このため、運転者は、補助ポールオブジェクト３８を移動させた後でも、主ポールオブジェクト３９を従来のコーナポールと同様に用いることができる。 <Summary of Embodiment 4>
According to the display control apparatus 1 according to the fourth embodiment as described above, the auxiliary pole object 38 is moved based on the operation of moving the auxiliary pole object 38 without moving the main pole object 39. Therefore, the driver can use the main pole object 39 in the same manner as a conventional corner pole even after the auxiliary pole object 38 is moved.
　＜実施の形態５＞
　図２７は、本発明の実施の形態５に係る表示制御装置１の構成を示すブロック図である。以下、本実施の形態５で説明する構成要素のうち、上述の構成要素と同じまたは類似する構成要素については同じ参照符号を付し、異なる構成要素について主に説明する。 <Embodiment 5>
FIG. 27 is a block diagram showing a configuration of display control apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention. Hereinafter, among the constituent elements described in the fifth embodiment, constituent elements that are the same as or similar to the constituent elements described above are assigned the same reference numerals, and different constituent elements are mainly described.
　図２７の表示制御装置１は、図１３の表示制御装置１から、操作信号入力部１１ａ及び相対位置取得部１１ｃを取り除いた構成と同様である。なお、仮想表示部２１及び周辺検出部２３は実施の形態３と同様である。 The display control device 1 in FIG. 27 has the same configuration as that obtained by removing the operation signal input unit 11a and the relative position acquisition unit 11c from the display control device 1 in FIG. The virtual display unit 21 and the periphery detection unit 23 are the same as those in the third embodiment.
　本実施の形態５では、車外情報入力部１１ｂは、自車両周辺の障害物と自車両とについての相対位置を、周辺検出部２３から取得する。表示位置制御部１２ｂは、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された当該相対位置に基づいて表示オブジェクトの表示位置を決定する。このように構成された制御部１２は、運転者からの移動操作がなくても、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された自車両周辺の障害物と自車両とについての相対位置に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４を自動的に移動させることが可能となっている。 In the fifth embodiment, the vehicle exterior information input unit 11b acquires the relative position of the obstacle around the host vehicle and the host vehicle from the periphery detection unit 23. The display position control unit 12b determines the display position of the display object based on the relative position acquired by the vehicle exterior information input unit 11b. The control unit 12 configured as described above is based on the relative positions of the obstacles around the host vehicle and the host vehicle acquired by the vehicle outside information input unit 11b even if there is no movement operation from the driver. The object 34 can be automatically moved.
　なお本実施の形態５では、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された自車両周辺の障害物と自車両とについての相対位置に基づいて、障害物と自車両との間の距離である自車両距離を求める。そして、制御部１２は、自車両距離が予め定められた閾値（例えば４０ｃｍ）よりも大きい場合には、ポールオブジェクト３４の位置を初期位置に固定する。一方、制御部１２は、自車両距離が当該閾値以下である場合には、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された自車両周辺の障害物と自車両とについての相対位置に基づいて、障害物にポールオブジェクト３４を近づける。ここでは制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４が移動可能な範囲のうち自車両距離が最も短くなる位置、つまり自車両のうち障害物との間の距離が最も短くなる部分に、ポールオブジェクト３４を移動させる。 In the fifth embodiment, the control unit 12 determines the distance between the obstacle and the own vehicle based on the relative position of the obstacle around the own vehicle and the own vehicle acquired by the outside information input unit 11b. The vehicle distance is calculated. And the control part 12 fixes the position of the pole object 34 to an initial position, when the own vehicle distance is larger than a predetermined threshold value (for example, 40 cm). On the other hand, when the own vehicle distance is equal to or less than the threshold, the control unit 12 determines whether the obstacle is based on the relative position of the obstacle around the own vehicle and the own vehicle acquired by the outside information input unit 11b. The pole object 34 is brought closer. Here, the control unit 12 moves the pole object 34 to the position where the own vehicle distance is the shortest in the movable range of the pole object 34, that is, the portion where the distance to the obstacle is the shortest in the own vehicle.

　図２８は、本実施の形態５に係る表示制御装置１の動作を示すフローチャートである。 <Operation>
FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the operation of the display control apparatus 1 according to the fifth embodiment.
　まずステップＳ５１にて、仮想表示オブジェクト生成部１２ａは、自車両周辺の障害物と自車両とについての相対位置などに基づいてポールオブジェクト３４を生成する。表示位置制御部１２ｂは、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示位置を初期位置に決定する。これにより、表示制御部１２ｃは、ポールオブジェクト３４を初期位置に表示するように仮想表示部２１を制御する。 First, in step S51, the virtual display object generation unit 12a generates the pole object 34 based on the relative position of the obstacle around the host vehicle and the host vehicle. The display position control unit 12b determines the display position of the pole object 34 as the initial position. Thereby, the display control unit 12c controls the virtual display unit 21 so as to display the pole object 34 at the initial position.
　ステップＳ５２にて、車外情報入力部１１ｂは、自車両周辺の障害物と自車両とについての相対位置を取得する。 In step S52, the vehicle exterior information input unit 11b acquires the relative position of the obstacle around the host vehicle and the host vehicle.
　ステップＳ５３にて、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された自車両周辺の障害物と自車両とについての相対位置に基づいて、上述した自車両距離を求める。そして制御部１２は、自車両距離が予め定められた閾値（例えば４０ｃｍ）以下であるか否かを判定する。自車両距離が予め定められた閾値以下であると判定した場合には処理がステップＳ５４に進み、自車両距離が当該閾値よりも大きいと判定した場合には処理がステップＳ５１に戻る。 In step S53, the control unit 12 obtains the above-described host vehicle distance based on the relative positions of the obstacles around the host vehicle and the host vehicle acquired by the vehicle outside information input unit 11b. And the control part 12 determines whether the own vehicle distance is below a predetermined threshold value (for example, 40 cm). If it is determined that the host vehicle distance is equal to or less than the predetermined threshold, the process proceeds to step S54. If it is determined that the host vehicle distance is greater than the threshold, the process returns to step S51.
　ステップＳ５４にて、制御部１２は、自車両距離が最も短くなる位置に、ポールオブジェクト３４を移動させる。その後、ステップＳ５２に処理が戻る。 In step S54, the control unit 12 moves the pole object 34 to a position where the own vehicle distance is the shortest. Thereafter, the process returns to step S52.
　図２９及び図３０は、図２８の動作結果の例を示す図である。 29 and 30 are diagrams showing examples of the operation result of FIG.
　図２９では、障害物５１と自車両２との間の距離である自車両距離ｄｖが、閾値よりも大きい場合が示されている。この場合、ポールオブジェクト３４は初期位置に固定される。図３０では、自車両距離ｄｖが、閾値以下である場合が示されている。この場合、ポールオブジェクト３４は、自車両距離ｄｖが最小となる位置に移動する。 FIG. 29 shows a case where the own vehicle distance dv, which is the distance between the obstacle 51 and the own vehicle 2, is larger than the threshold value. In this case, the pole object 34 is fixed at the initial position. FIG. 30 shows a case where the host vehicle distance dv is equal to or less than a threshold value. In this case, the pole object 34 moves to a position where the own vehicle distance dv is minimized.
　＜実施の形態５のまとめ＞
　以上のような本実施の形態５に係る表示制御装置１によれば、自車両２周辺の障害物５１と自車両２とについての相対位置に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４を自動的に移動させる。このような構成によれば、運転者はポールオブジェクト３４の移動操作を行う必要がなくなるので、運転者の負担を軽減することができる。 <Summary of Embodiment 5>
According to the display control apparatus 1 according to the fifth embodiment as described above, the pole object 34 is automatically moved based on the relative positions of the obstacle 51 around the host vehicle 2 and the host vehicle 2. According to such a configuration, the driver does not need to perform the moving operation of the pole object 34, so the burden on the driver can be reduced.
　また本実施の形態５では、自車両２周辺の障害物と自車両とについての相対位置に基づいて、障害物にポールオブジェクト３４を近づける。このような構成によれば、運転者は、自車両２のうちどの部分が障害物５１に最も近いかを、ポールオブジェクト３４の位置によって知ることができる。 In the fifth embodiment, the pole object 34 is brought closer to the obstacle based on the relative position of the obstacle around the host vehicle 2 and the host vehicle. According to such a configuration, the driver can know which part of the host vehicle 2 is closest to the obstacle 51 by the position of the pole object 34.
　＜実施の形態５の各変形例＞
　次に、実施の形態５の各変形例について説明する。なお、詳細には説明しないが、実施の形態５に実施の形態２の各変形例を適宜組み合わせてもよいし、実施の形態２に実施の形態５の各変形例を適宜組み合わせてもよい。例えば、実施の形態５に係る制御部１２は、実施の形態２の変形例１のように、自車両周辺の障害物と自車両とについての相対位置に基づいてポールオブジェクト３４の虚像距離及び虚像方向の両方を変更するのではなく、ポールオブジェクト３４の虚像距離を変更せずに、ポールオブジェクト３４の虚像方向を変更してもよい。 <Variations of Embodiment 5>
Next, modifications of the fifth embodiment will be described. Although not described in detail, the respective modifications of the second embodiment may be appropriately combined with the fifth embodiment, or the respective modifications of the fifth embodiment may be appropriately combined with the second embodiment. For example, the control unit 12 according to the fifth embodiment, like the first modification of the second embodiment, determines the virtual image distance and virtual image of the pole object 34 based on the relative positions of the obstacle around the host vehicle and the host vehicle. Instead of changing both the directions, the virtual image direction of the pole object 34 may be changed without changing the virtual image distance of the pole object 34.
　また、詳細には説明しないが、実施の形態５に実施の形態３の各変形例を適宜組み合わせてもよいし、実施の形態３に実施の形態５の各変形例を適宜組み合わせてもよい。例えば、実施の形態５に係る制御部１２は、実施の形態３の変形例１のように、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された自車両周辺の障害物と自車両とについての相対位置に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更してもよい。具体的には、実施の形態５に係る制御部１２は、当該相対位置に基づく障害物と自車両との間の距離である自車両距離ｄｖに基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更してもよい。 Although not described in detail, each modification of the third embodiment may be appropriately combined with the fifth embodiment, or each modification of the fifth embodiment may be appropriately combined with the third embodiment. For example, the control unit 12 according to the fifth embodiment is based on the relative positions of the obstacles around the host vehicle and the host vehicle acquired by the outside information input unit 11b as in the first modification of the third embodiment. Thus, the display mode of the pole object 34 may be changed. Specifically, the control unit 12 according to the fifth embodiment changes the display mode of the pole object 34 based on the host vehicle distance dv that is the distance between the obstacle and the host vehicle based on the relative position. May be.
　この際、制御部１２によって変更される表示態様は、例えばポールオブジェクト３４の点滅などのアニメーションの有無、色、形状、及び、模様の少なくともいずれか１つであってもよい。なお、図３１及び図３２の例では、自車両距離ｄｖが短くなるにつれて、ポールオブジェクト３４の色が、図２９などのポールオブジェクト３４の色から注意色を経て警報色に変更されている。 At this time, the display mode changed by the control unit 12 may be at least one of presence / absence of animation such as blinking of the pole object 34, color, shape, and pattern. In the example of FIGS. 31 and 32, as the host vehicle distance dv becomes shorter, the color of the pole object 34 is changed from the color of the pole object 34 shown in FIG.
　また表示態様の変更はこれに限ったものではなく、例えば、制御部１２は、自車両距離ｄｖが小さくなるにつれて、ポールオブジェクト３４の長さを長くしたり短くしたりしてもよい。また例えば、制御部１２は、自車両距離ｄｖが小さくなるにつれて、ポールオブジェクト３４を点滅させたりしてもよいし、ポールオブジェクト３４に模様を付加してもよい。また、制御部１２は、自車両距離ｄｖに基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を段階的に変更してもよいし、連続的に変更してもよい。 Further, the change of the display mode is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 12 may increase or decrease the length of the pole object 34 as the host vehicle distance dv decreases. For example, the control unit 12 may blink the pole object 34 or add a pattern to the pole object 34 as the host vehicle distance dv decreases. Moreover, the control part 12 may change the display mode of the pole object 34 in steps based on the own vehicle distance dv, or may change it continuously.
　＜実施の形態５の変形例１＞
　実施の形態５に実施の形態４を組み合わせてもよい。つまり、制御部１２は、図３３、図３４及び図３５に示すように、主ポールオブジェクト３９を移動させずに、自車両２周辺の障害物５１と自車両２とについての相対位置に基づいて、補助ポールオブジェクト３８を自動的に移動させてもよい。この場合であっても、実施の形態５と同様の効果を得ることができる。 <Modification 1 of Embodiment 5>
The fourth embodiment may be combined with the fifth embodiment. That is, as shown in FIGS. 33, 34, and 35, the control unit 12 does not move the main pole object 39 based on the relative positions of the obstacle 51 around the host vehicle 2 and the host vehicle 2. The auxiliary pole object 38 may be automatically moved. Even in this case, the same effect as in the fifth embodiment can be obtained.
　＜実施の形態５の変形例２＞
　上述したように、図２７の周辺検出部２３は、自車両２周辺の障害物に関する情報を検出し、車外情報入力部１１ｂは、周辺検出部２３で検出された情報を取得する。ここで、自車両２周辺の障害物に関する情報は、障害物と自車両２とについての相対位置、障害物の属性、障害物の高さ、及び、障害物の色の少なくともいずれか１つを含んでもよい。 <Modification 2 of Embodiment 5>
As described above, the periphery detection unit 23 in FIG. 27 detects information about obstacles around the host vehicle 2, and the vehicle outside information input unit 11 b acquires information detected by the periphery detection unit 23. Here, the information about the obstacle around the host vehicle 2 includes at least one of the relative position between the obstacle and the host vehicle 2, the attribute of the obstacle, the height of the obstacle, and the color of the obstacle. May be included.
　そして制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物に関する情報を示す表示オブジェクトである第３表示オブジェクトを、ポールオブジェクト３４に付随させて仮想表示部２１にさらに表示させてもよい。以下の説明では、第３表示オブジェクトを「付加オブジェクト」と記す。 And the control part 12 may make the virtual display part 21 further display the 3rd display object which is a display object which shows the information regarding the obstruction acquired by the vehicle exterior information input part 11b with the pole object 34. FIG. In the following description, the third display object is referred to as “additional object”.
　図３６、図３７及び図３８は、付加オブジェクトの例を示す図である。これらの図では、車外情報入力部１１ｂが、障害物に関する情報として、障害物と自車両とについての相対位置の情報を取得し、制御部１２が、当該相対位置に基づく自車両距離ｄｖを示す付加オブジェクト４０ａ，４０ｂ，４０ｃをポールオブジェクト３４に付随させて仮想表示部２１に表示させている。図３６では、自車両距離ｄｖの値を示す文字の表示オブジェクトが、付加オブジェクト４０ａとして示されている。図３７では、自車両距離ｄｖの値を長さで示す矢印の表示オブジェクトが、付加オブジェクト４０ｂとして示されている。図３８では、自車両距離ｄｖの値を示す二つの指の表示オブジェクトが、付加オブジェクト４０ｃとして示されている。 36, 37, and 38 are diagrams showing examples of additional objects. In these drawings, the vehicle outside information input unit 11b acquires information on the relative position of the obstacle and the host vehicle as information on the obstacle, and the control unit 12 indicates the host vehicle distance dv based on the relative position. The additional objects 40a, 40b, and 40c are attached to the pole object 34 and displayed on the virtual display unit 21. In FIG. 36, the display object of the character which shows the value of the own vehicle distance dv is shown as the additional object 40a. In FIG. 37, the display object of the arrow which shows the value of the own vehicle distance dv by length is shown as the additional object 40b. In FIG. 38, a display object of two fingers indicating the value of the host vehicle distance dv is shown as an additional object 40c.
　以上のような本変形例に係る表示制御装置１によれば、運転者は、自車両２周辺の障害物に関する情報を知ることができる。 According to the display control apparatus 1 according to the present modification as described above, the driver can know information on obstacles around the host vehicle 2.
　＜実施の形態５の変形例３＞
　図２７の周辺検出部２３は、自車両周辺の障害物の属性を検出し、車外情報入力部１１ｂは、周辺検出部２３で検出された障害物の属性を取得してもよい。ここでいう障害物の属性には、静止物体、車両、人、及び、人以外の動物などのいずれかが該当する。そして、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物の属性に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更してもよい。 <Modification 3 of Embodiment 5>
27 may detect the attribute of an obstacle around the host vehicle, and the vehicle outside information input unit 11b may acquire the attribute of the obstacle detected by the periphery detection unit 23. The obstacle attribute mentioned here corresponds to any of a stationary object, a vehicle, a person, and an animal other than a person. And the control part 12 may change the display mode of the pole object 34 based on the attribute of the obstruction acquired by the vehicle exterior information input part 11b.
　図３９、図４０及び図４１は、制御部１２が障害物の属性に基づいてポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更する例を示す図である。図３９では、障害物の属性が静止物体５１ｄである場合に、静止物体を示すポールオブジェクト３４が示されている。図４０では、障害物の属性が車両５１ｅである場合に、車両を示すポールオブジェクト３４が示されている。図４１では、障害物の属性が人５１ｆである場合に、人を示すポールオブジェクト３４が示されている。 39, 40, and 41 are diagrams illustrating an example in which the control unit 12 changes the display mode of the pole object 34 based on the attribute of the obstacle. FIG. 39 shows a pole object 34 indicating a stationary object when the attribute of the obstacle is the stationary object 51d. FIG. 40 shows a pole object 34 indicating a vehicle when the attribute of the obstacle is the vehicle 51e. FIG. 41 shows a pole object 34 indicating a person when the attribute of the obstacle is a person 51f.
　以上のような本変形例に係る表示制御装置１によれば、運転者は、自車両周辺の障害物の属性を知ることができる。なお、ここでは、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物の属性に基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更したが、これに限ったものではない。例えば、制御部１２は、実施の形態５の変形例２と同様に、障害物の属性を示す付加オブジェクトをポールオブジェクト３４に付随させてもよい。 According to the display control device 1 according to this modification as described above, the driver can know the attributes of the obstacles around the host vehicle. Here, the control unit 12 changes the display mode of the pole object 34 based on the attribute of the obstacle acquired by the outside information input unit 11b, but is not limited thereto. For example, the control unit 12 may attach an additional object indicating the attribute of the obstacle to the pole object 34 as in the second modification of the fifth embodiment.
　＜実施の形態５の変形例４＞
　図２７の周辺検出部２３は、自車両周辺の障害物の高さを検出し、車外情報入力部１１ｂは、周辺検出部２３で検出された障害物の高さを取得してもよい。そして、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物の高さに基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更してもよい。 <Modification 4 of Embodiment 5>
27 may detect the height of an obstacle around the host vehicle, and the vehicle outside information input unit 11b may acquire the height of the obstacle detected by the periphery detection unit 23. And the control part 12 may change the display mode of the pole object 34 based on the height of the obstruction acquired by the vehicle exterior information input part 11b.
　図４２及び図４３は、制御部１２が障害物の高さに基づいてポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更する例を示す図である。図４２では、障害物の高さが比較的低い場合に、マークの位置によって障害物の高さが比較的低いことを示すポールオブジェクト３４が示されている。図４３では、障害物の高さが比較的高い場合に、マークの位置によって障害物の高さが比較的高いことを示すポールオブジェクト３４が示されている。マークの位置によって障害物の高さを示す代わりに、ポールオブジェクト３４そのものの長さによって障害物の高さを示してもよいし、ポールオブジェクト３４の目盛マーク（図示せず）によって障害物の高さを示してもよい。 42 and 43 are diagrams illustrating an example in which the control unit 12 changes the display mode of the pole object 34 based on the height of the obstacle. FIG. 42 shows a pole object 34 indicating that the height of the obstacle is relatively low depending on the position of the mark when the height of the obstacle is relatively low. FIG. 43 shows a pole object 34 indicating that the height of the obstacle is relatively high depending on the position of the mark when the height of the obstacle is relatively high. Instead of indicating the height of the obstacle by the position of the mark, the height of the obstacle may be indicated by the length of the pole object 34, or the height of the obstacle may be indicated by a scale mark (not shown) of the pole object 34. You may show.
　以上のような本変形例に係る表示制御装置１によれば、運転者は、自車両周辺の障害物の高さを知ることができる。なお、ここでは、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物の高さに基づいて、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更したが、これに限ったものではない。例えば、制御部１２は、実施の形態５の変形例２と同様に、障害物の高さを示す付加オブジェクトをポールオブジェクト３４に付随させてもよい。 According to the display control device 1 according to this modification as described above, the driver can know the height of the obstacle around the host vehicle. In addition, although the control part 12 changed the display mode of the pole object 34 based on the height of the obstruction acquired by the vehicle exterior information input part 11b here, it is not restricted to this. For example, the control unit 12 may attach an additional object indicating the height of the obstacle to the pole object 34 as in the second modification of the fifth embodiment.
　＜実施の形態５の変形例５＞
　実施の形態５に実施の形態３の変形例５を組み合わせてもよい。つまり実施の形態５に係る制御部１２は、自車両２周辺の障害物と自車両２とについての相対位置に基づいて、自車両２のフェンダー及び前側バンパーから離間するように、自車両２の前方にポールオブジェクト３４を移動させてもよい。例えば、制御部１２は、まず、ポールオブジェクト３４が移動可能な範囲のうち自車両距離が最も短くなる位置に、ポールオブジェクト３４を自動的に移動させ、その後に、ポールオブジェクト３４を障害物に向かうように自動的に移動させてもよい。 <Modification 5 of Embodiment 5>
You may combine the modification 5 of Embodiment 3 with Embodiment 5. FIG. That is, the control unit 12 according to the fifth embodiment of the host vehicle 2 is configured to be separated from the fender and the front bumper of the host vehicle 2 based on the relative positions of the host vehicle 2 and the obstacles around the host vehicle 2. The pole object 34 may be moved forward. For example, the control unit 12 first automatically moves the pole object 34 to a position where the own vehicle distance is the shortest in a range in which the pole object 34 can move, and then moves the pole object 34 toward the obstacle.

　図４４、図４５及び図４６は、自車両距離が最も短くなる位置に移動されたポールオブジェクト３４が、自車両２のフェンダー及び前側バンパーから離間していく様子を順に示す図である。これらの図に示すように、制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４が自車両２のフェンダー及び前側バンパーから離間していく際に、自車両２周辺の障害物５１とポールオブジェクト３４との間のポール距離に基づいてポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更してもよい。そして、ポールオブジェクト３４が障害物５１と接触する位置に達した場合に、制御部１２は、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を、接触したことを示す特別の表示態様に変化させてもよいし、接触したことを示す文字や図形などの表示オブジェクトを仮想表示部２１にさらに表示させてもよい。このような構成によれば、運転者は、障害物５１と自車両２とについての相対位置を知ることができる。 44, 45 and 46 are diagrams sequentially illustrating a state in which the pole object 34 moved to the position where the own vehicle distance is the shortest is separated from the fender and the front bumper of the own vehicle 2. As shown in these drawings, when the pole object 34 moves away from the fender and the front bumper of the host vehicle 2, the control unit 12 makes a pole between the obstacle 51 around the host vehicle 2 and the pole object 34. The display mode of the pole object 34 may be changed based on the distance. When the pole object 34 reaches a position where it comes into contact with the obstacle 51, the control unit 12 may change the display mode of the pole object 34 to a special display mode indicating that the pole object 34 has been touched.

Was automatically moved to the obstacle. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 12 may combine the automatic movement of the pole object 34 with the movement of the pole object 34 based on the driver's movement operation. Specifically, the control unit 12 determines, based on the relative positions of the obstacle 51 around the host vehicle 2 and the host vehicle, the position where the host vehicle distance is the shortest in the movable range of the pole object 34. The pole object 34 may be moved automatically, and then the pole object 34 may be moved toward the obstacle based on the driver's movement operation.

You may acquire the relative position about the own vehicle from the periphery detection part 23. FIG.

Next, modifications of the sixth embodiment will be described. Although not described in detail, the modification examples of the second, third, and fifth embodiments may be combined with the sixth embodiment as appropriate, or the modification examples of the sixth embodiment may be combined with the second, third, and fifth embodiments. You may combine an example suitably.
　＜実施の形態６の変形例１＞
　実施の形態６では、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された相対位置と、車内情報入力部１１ｄで取得された自車両移動軌跡とに基づいて、自車両２が自車両移動軌跡に沿って移動した場合に、自車両２のうち障害物と接触する部分にポールオブジェクト３４を移動させた。 <Modification 1 of Embodiment 6>
In the sixth embodiment, the control unit 12 determines that the host vehicle 2 is moving on the own vehicle based on the relative position acquired by the outside information input unit 11b and the own vehicle moving track acquired by the in-vehicle information input unit 11d. , The pole object 34 is moved to the part of the host vehicle 2 that contacts the obstacle.
　しかしこれに限ったものではなく、例えば、制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された相対位置と、車内情報入力部１１ｄで取得された自車両移動軌跡とに基づいて、自車両２が自車両移動軌跡に沿って移動した場合に、自車両２のうち障害物と接触しないけれども障害物に最も近づく部分にポールオブジェクト３４を移動させてもよい。または、制御部１２は、障害物と接触するか否かに基づいてポールオブジェクト３４の表示態様を変更してもよい。このような構成によれば、運転者は、ポールオブジェクト３４の表示を参考にして、自車両２が障害物に接触しないように自車両２の移動軌跡を変更することができる。 However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 12 determines the vehicle 2 based on the relative position acquired by the vehicle outside information input unit 11b and the vehicle movement locus acquired by the vehicle interior information input unit 11d. , The pole object 34 may be moved to the portion of the host vehicle 2 that does not contact the obstacle but is closest to the obstacle. Or the control part 12 may change the display mode of the pole object 34 based on whether it contacts with an obstruction. According to such a configuration, the driver can change the movement trajectory of the host vehicle 2 with reference to the display of the pole object 34 so that the host vehicle 2 does not contact an obstacle.
　また例えば、図５１に示すように、制御部１２は、自車両２のうち他車両５１ａに現在最も近い部分２ｅに主ポールオブジェクト３９を移動させるとともに、自車両２が自車両移動軌跡に沿って移動した場合に、自車両２のうち障害物と接触する部分２ｆに補助ポールオブジェクト３８を移動させてもよい。また例えば、制御部１２は、自車両２のうち現在最も近い部分２ｅに１つの補助ポールオブジェクト３８を移動させるとともに、自車両２が自車両移動軌跡に沿って移動した場合に、自車両２のうち障害物と接触する部分２ｆに別の補助ポールオブジェクト３８を移動させてもよい。そしてこの場合に、制御部１２は、主ポールオブジェクト３９の位置を初期位置に固定してもよい。 Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 51, the control unit 12 moves the main pole object 39 to the portion 2e currently closest to the other vehicle 51a in the own vehicle 2, and the own vehicle 2 follows the own vehicle movement locus. When the vehicle moves, the auxiliary pole object 38 may be moved to the portion 2f of the host vehicle 2 that contacts the obstacle. Further, for example, the control unit 12 moves one auxiliary pole object 38 to the currently nearest portion 2e of the own vehicle 2 and, when the own vehicle 2 moves along the own vehicle movement locus, Of these, another auxiliary pole object 38 may be moved to the portion 2f in contact with the obstacle. In this case, the control unit 12 may fix the position of the main pole object 39 to the initial position.
　＜実施の形態６の変形例２＞
　実施の形態６では、障害物は静止していることを想定していたが、障害物は移動してもよい。この場合、車外情報入力部１１ｂは、周辺検出部２３で検出された自車両周辺の障害物に関する情報に基づいて、障害物の将来の移動軌跡である第２移動軌跡を求める。以下の説明では第２移動軌跡を「障害物移動軌跡」と記す。 <Modification 2 of Embodiment 6>

In this case, the vehicle outside information input unit 11b obtains a second movement locus that is a future movement locus of the obstacle based on the information about the obstacle around the host vehicle detected by the periphery detection unit 23. In the following description, the second movement locus is referred to as “obstacle movement locus”.
　例えば、障害物が自動運転できない他車両であった場合には、車外情報入力部１１ｂは、撮像した画像に示される他車両のタイヤの方向などに基づいて、他車両の移動軌跡を障害物移動軌跡として求める。障害物が自動運転できる他車両であった場合には、車外情報入力部１１ｂは、車車間通信などによって取得された他車両の自動運転の情報に基づいて、他車両の移動軌跡を障害物移動軌跡として求める。 For example, when the obstacle is another vehicle that cannot be automatically driven, the outside information input unit 11b moves the obstacle of the other vehicle based on the tire direction of the other vehicle indicated in the captured image. Find as a trajectory. When the obstacle is another vehicle that can be automatically driven, the vehicle outside information input unit 11b moves the obstacle on the movement locus of the other vehicle based on the information on the automatic driving of the other vehicle acquired by inter-vehicle communication or the like. Find as a trajectory.
　表示位置制御部１２ｂなどの制御部１２は、車外情報入力部１１ｂで取得された障害物と自車両とについての相対位置と、車内情報入力部１１ｄで求めた自車両移動軌跡と、車外情報入力部１１ｂで求めた障害物移動軌跡とに基づいて、自車両が自車両移動軌跡に沿って移動し、かつ、障害物が障害物移動軌跡に沿って移動した場合に、自車両のうち障害物に最も近づく部分、及び、障害物と接触する部分の少なくともいずれか１つを求める。そして、制御部１２は、求めた少なくともいずれか１つの部分にポールオブジェクト３４を移動させる。 The control unit 12 such as the display position control unit 12b, the relative position of the obstacle and the own vehicle acquired by the outside information input unit 11b, the own vehicle movement locus obtained by the inboard information input unit 11d, and the outside information input. When the own vehicle moves along the own vehicle movement locus and the obstacle moves along the obstacle movement locus based on the obstacle movement locus obtained by the unit 11b, the obstacle of the own vehicle At least one of the part closest to the object and the part in contact with the obstacle is obtained. Then, the control unit 12 moves the pole object 34 to at least one of the obtained portions.
　このような構成によれば、自車両のうち障害物に最も近づく部分を求める精度、及び、障害物と接触する部分を求める精度を高めることができる。 According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the accuracy of obtaining the portion of the own vehicle that is closest to the obstacle and the accuracy of obtaining the portion that contacts the obstacle.
