The MID 110 displays the first vehicle image data as image data representing information related to driving of the vehicle in color or in monochrome for the passengers inside the vehicle. The first vehicle image data is, for example, image data generated by the image generator 101 of the HCU 100 so as to represent at least vehicle speed information among vehicle speed information, total travel distance information, indicator information, and the like.
 MID110は、信号変換IC112を介してHCU100の画像生成部101と接続されている。画像生成部101との間の第1通信経路5を構成することになる信号変換IC112は、HCU100の信号変換IC106からのデータ信号を受信する。MID110においてGDC(Graphics Display Controller)111は、信号変換IC112により受信信号から変換された第1車両画像データを処理する。それと共に、MID110においてGDC111は、例えば液晶型等の表示器114による第1車両画像データの表示と、バックライト照明115による表示器114の透過照明とを、制御する。 The MID 110 is connected to the image generator 101 of the HCU 100 via the signal conversion IC 112.

The second communication path 6 is composed of the communication interface 107, the communication interface 113 of the MID 110, and a second harness 140 connecting the communication interfaces 107 and 113 so as to enable data communication. The second harness 140 forming the second communication path 6 is different from the first harness 130 forming the first communication path 5 . A communication interface 113 that constitutes the second communication path 6 receives data signals from the communication interface 107 of the HCU 100 . The GDC 111 in the MID 110 processes sensing data converted from the received signal by the communication interface 113 . As described above, the data signal from the communication interface 107 is transmitted to the MID 110 even when no data abnormality (to be described later) is detected. Therefore, the GDC 111 in the MID 110 acquires sensing data even when no data abnormality is detected. The GDC 111 in the MID 110 also has a function of driving a buzzer 118 via a drive circuit 117 to give a notification sound to passengers inside the vehicle.
 CID120は、第2表示装置として、車両の室内のうちインストルメントパネルのセンタークラスターに配置される。CID120は、車両の運転及び室内居住性に関わる情報を表す画像データとして、第2車両画像データを車両の室内乗員に対してカラー表示又はモノクロ表示する。第2画像データは、例えば、ナビゲーションの案内画面、空調機器の操作画面、及びオーディオ機器の操作画面等のうち少なくとも一種類を表すように、HCU100の画像生成部101によって生成される画像データである。 The CID 120 is arranged as a second display device in the center cluster of the instrument panel in the interior of the vehicle. The CID 120 displays the second vehicle image data in color or in monochrome for the occupants in the vehicle as image data representing information related to vehicle driving and interior comfort. The second image data is image data generated by the image generation unit 101 of the HCU 100 so as to represent at least one of, for example, a navigation guide screen, an air conditioner operation screen, an audio equipment operation screen, and the like. .
 CID120は、信号変換IC121を介してHCU100の画像生成部101と接続されている。画像生成部101との間の第3通信経路7を構成することになる信号変換IC121は、HCU100の信号変換IC108からのデータ信号を受信する。CID120においてMPU(Micro Processing Unit)122は、信号変換IC121により受信信号から変換された第2車両画像データを処理する。それと共にMPU122は、例えば液晶型等の表示器123による第2車両画像データの表示と、バックライト照明124による表示器123の透過照明とを、制御する。 The CID 120 is connected to the image generator 101 of the HCU 100 via the signal conversion IC 121. A signal conversion IC 121 that constitutes the third communication path 7 with the image generator 101 receives data signals from the signal conversion IC 108 of the HCU 100 . An MPU (Micro Processing Unit) 122 in the CID 120 processes the second vehicle image data converted from the received signal by the signal conversion IC 121 . At the same time, the MPU 122 controls the display of the second vehicle image data by the display device 123 such as a liquid crystal type, and the transmitted illumination of the display device 123 by the backlight illumination 124 .
 以下、HCU100の構成を、図4に基づいてさらに詳細に説明する。 The configuration of the HCU 100 will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG.
 HCU100において画像生成部101とデータ処理部102は、それぞれ異なるICチップ上に構成されている。 The image generator 101 and the data processor 102 in the HCU 100 are configured on different IC chips.
 HCU100の構成部品は、少なくとも第1電源系統150及び第2電源系統160を含む複数の異なる電源系統を通じて給電されている。複数の電源系統は、それぞれ電源回路を含み、図示しない車載バッテリ等の電源からHCU100の構成部品に電力を供給する。HCU100の構成部品は、少なくとも、第1電源系統150を通じて給電される第1被給電群1001、及び、第2電源系統160を通じて給電される第2被給電群1002を含む、複数の被給電群に分けることができる。 The components of the HCU 100 are powered through a plurality of different power systems including at least a first power system 150 and a second power system 160. Each of the plurality of power supply systems includes a power supply circuit, and supplies power to components of the HCU 100 from a power supply such as an in-vehicle battery (not shown). The components of the HCU 100 are divided into a plurality of powered groups including at least a first powered group 1001 powered through a first power supply system 150 and a second powered group 1002 powered through a second power supply system 160. can be separated.

 以上の構成により、画像生成部101が構成されるICチップと、データ処理部102が構成されるICチップは、それぞれ異なる電源系統150,160を通じて給電されている。さらに、第1通信経路5を構成する信号変換IC106と、第2通信経路6を構成する通信インターフェース107は、それぞれ異なる電源系統150,160を通じて給電されている。 With the above configuration, the IC chip forming the image generation unit 101 and the IC chip forming the data processing unit 102 are powered through different power supply systems 150 and 160, respectively. Further, the signal conversion IC 106 forming the first communication path 5 and the communication interface 107 forming the second communication path 6 are powered through different power supply systems 150 and 160, respectively.
 続いて、車両用表示制御システム1の不具合を検出する構成について説明する。 Next, a configuration for detecting a malfunction of the vehicle display control system 1 will be described.
 画像生成部101は、第1通信経路5を介したMID110との通信途絶を検出する。データ処理部102は、第2通信経路6を介したMID110との通信途絶を検出する。ここで通信途絶とは、例えば、MID110からの応答が一定時間以上ない場合等に、検出される。 The image generation unit 101 detects communication disruption with the MID 110 via the first communication path 5 . The data processing unit 102 detects communication interruption with the MID 110 via the second communication path 6 . A communication interruption is detected, for example, when there is no response from the MID 110 for a certain period of time or longer.
 MID110のGDC111も同様に、第1通信経路5を介した画像生成部101との通信途絶を検出する。GDC111は、画像生成部101からの通信が一定時間以上ない場合等に、第1通信経路5を介した通信途絶を検出する。さらに、GDC111は、第2通信経路6を介したデータ処理部102との通信途絶を検出する。GDC111は、データ処理部102からの通信が一定時間以上ない場合等に、第2通信経路6を介した通信途絶を検出する。MID110は、第1通信経路5又は第2通信経路6を介した通信の途絶が検出された場合、駆動回路117によってブザー118を駆動することで、通信途絶を乗員に報知する報知音を発生させる。 Similarly, the GDC 111 of the MID 110 detects communication disruption with the image generation unit 101 via the first communication path 5 . The GDC 111 detects communication interruption via the first communication path 5 when there is no communication from the image generation unit 101 for a certain period of time or more. Furthermore, the GDC 111 detects communication interruption with the data processing unit 102 via the second communication path 6 . The GDC 111 detects communication interruption via the second communication path 6 when there is no communication from the data processing unit 102 for a certain period of time or more. When the MID 110 detects a communication disruption via the first communication path 5 or the second communication path 6, the driving circuit 117 drives the buzzer 118 to generate a notification sound to notify the passenger of the communication disruption. .
 CID120は、第1通信経路5を介した通信途絶が検出された場合、及び第2通信経路6を介した通信途絶が検出された場合に、HCU100とMID110との間の通信途絶を表す通信途絶画像データを表示する。 The CID 120 indicates a communication disruption indicating a communication disruption between the HCU 100 and the MID 110 when a communication disruption is detected via the first communication path 5 and when a communication disruption is detected via the second communication path 6. Display image data.
 画像生成部101には、異常検出用のテスト画像用データが予め保存されている。画像生成部101は、テスト画像用データに基づいて定期的にテスト画像データを読み出し、第1通信経路5を通じてMID110へ送信する。MID110の不揮発性メモリ116には、画像生成部101と同様のテスト画像用データが保存されている。テスト画像データは、異常検出用に車両画像データの代替として使用されるデータである。 The image generation unit 101 stores test image data for abnormality detection in advance. The image generator 101 periodically reads test image data based on the test image data, and transmits the test image data to the MID 110 through the first communication path 5 . The nonvolatile memory 116 of the MID 110 stores test image data similar to that of the image generator 101 . Test image data is data used as a substitute for vehicle image data for abnormality detection.
 MID110のGDC111は、第1通信経路5を通じて取得したテスト画像データをチェックすることにより、データの異常を検出する。具体的にGDC111は、取得したテスト画像データと、MID110の不揮発性メモリ116に予め保存されているテスト画像データとを、比較する。比較の結果、これらのテスト画像データに差異がある場合にGDC111は、取得したテスト画像データが異常であると判断する。例えば、画像データを生成する画像生成部101が故障している場合や、第1通信経路5の通信線の断線等により第1通信経路5を通じてテスト画像データを取得できない場合等には、テスト画像データに差異が発生する。このようにGDC111は、画像生成部101から正常な画像データを取得できない場合に、データが異常であるとの判定を下す。MID110は、画像データの異常を検出した場合、駆動回路117によってブザー118を駆動することで、画像データの異常発生を乗員に報知する報知音を発生させる。また、GDC111は、第1通信経路5又は第2通信経路6を通じて、検出結果をHCU100に送信する。GDC111は、データの異常を検出した場合に、データが異常であることを表す信号をHCU100に送信する。GDC111は、データの異常を検出していない場合には、データが異常でないことを表す信号をHCU100に送信する。 The GDC 111 of the MID 110 detects data anomalies by checking the test image data acquired through the first communication path 5 . Specifically, the GDC 111 compares the acquired test image data with the test image data prestored in the nonvolatile memory 116 of the MID 110 . As a result of the comparison, if there is a difference between these test image data, the GDC 111 determines that the acquired test image data is abnormal. For example, if the image generation unit 101 that generates image data is out of order, or if the test image data cannot be obtained through the first communication path 5 due to disconnection of the communication line of the first communication path 5, etc., the test image data Discrepancies occur in the data. In this way, the GDC 111 determines that the data is abnormal when normal image data cannot be acquired from the image generation unit 101 . When the MID 110 detects an abnormality in the image data, the driving circuit 117 drives the buzzer 118 to generate a notification sound for informing the passenger of the occurrence of the abnormality in the image data. Also, the GDC 111 transmits the detection result to the HCU 100 through the first communication path 5 or the second communication path 6 . When the GDC 111 detects data abnormality, it transmits a signal indicating that the data is abnormal to the HCU 100 . When the GDC 111 does not detect data abnormality, it transmits a signal indicating that the data is not abnormal to the HCU 100 .
 MID110は、内部回路をチェックすることで、自己の故障を検出する。MID110は、自己の故障を検出した場合に駆動回路117によってブザー118を駆動することで、自己の故障を乗員に報知する報知音を発生させる。さらに、MID110は、自己故障の検出結果をHCU100に送信する。 The MID 110 detects its own failure by checking its internal circuitry. When the MID 110 detects its own failure, the drive circuit 117 drives the buzzer 118 to generate a notification sound for notifying the occupant of its own failure. Furthermore, MID 110 transmits the self-failure detection result to HCU 100 .
 以下、車両用表示制御システム1による表示制御の手順を、図3のフローチャートを参照しつつ説明する。車両用表示制御システム1は、図3に示す処理を定期的に実行する。 The procedure for display control by the vehicle display control system 1 will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The vehicle display control system 1 periodically executes the processing shown in FIG.
 図3に示すS11では、HCU100の画像生成部101は、MID110が自己の故障を検出したか否かを判断するとともに、第1通信経路5を介した通信途絶と第2通信経路6を介した通信途絶の両方を検出したか否かを判断する。MID110の故障が検出された場合、又は、第1通信経路5を介した通信途絶と第2通信経路6を介した通信途絶の両方が検出された場合、MID110は第1車両画像データを表示することができない。つまりS11では、MID110が第1車両画像データを表示可能か否か、判断する。 In S11 shown in FIG. 3, the image generation unit 101 of the HCU 100 determines whether or not the MID 110 has detected its own failure. It is determined whether or not both communication disruptions have been detected. When a failure of the MID 110 is detected, or when both communication disruption via the first communication path 5 and communication disruption via the second communication path 6 are detected, the MID 110 displays the first vehicle image data. I can't. That is, in S11, it is determined whether or not the MID 110 can display the first vehicle image data.
 画像生成部101は、第1通信経路5を介した通信と第2通信経路6を介した通信とのうち少なくとも一方が途絶しておらず、且つ、MID110の故障が検出されていない場合、MID110が第1車両画像データを表示可能と判断する。MID110が第1車両画像データを表示可能と判断された場合、表示制御フローはS12に進む。一方、MID110が第1車両画像データを表示可能でないと判断された場合、表示制御フローはS14に進む。 If at least one of the communication through the first communication path 5 and the communication through the second communication path 6 is not interrupted and no failure of the MID 110 is detected, the image generation unit 101 determines whether the MID 110 determines that the first vehicle image data can be displayed. When it is determined that the MID 110 can display the first vehicle image data, the display control flow proceeds to S12. On the other hand, when it is determined that the MID 110 cannot display the first vehicle image data, the display control flow proceeds to S14.
 第1車両画像データを表示可能でない場合のS14では、HCU100及びCID120が共同して、第1フェールセーフモードでの表示制御を行う。第1フェールセーフモードにおいてHCU100の画像生成部101は、通常時にMID110が表示する第1車両画像データに代えて、代替画像データを生成する。代替画像データは、第1車両画像データのうち、車両の運転に最低限必要な情報として予め定められた一部の情報のみを表す。代替画像データは、運転に関する情報のうち少なくとも車速情報を表す情報を含むように生成される。つまり、代替画像データは、通常時にMID110が表示する第1車両画像データに比べてデータ量の少ない画像データである。そこでCID120のMPU122は、表示器123の画像表示領域の一部である代替表示領域に、代替画像データを表示させる。つまり、CID120は、第2車両画像データに加えて、第1車両画像データの代替画像データを表示する。CID120は、MID110に画像データを表示できない旨を表示する。例えば、CID120は、MID110が故障中である場合には、MID110が故障中であることを表す故障画像データを表示する。CID120は、第1通信経路5を介した通信と第2通信経路6を介した通信との両方が途絶した場合に、HCU100とMID110との間の通信途絶を表す通信途絶画像データを表示してもよい。MID110はS14において、駆動回路17によってブザー118を駆動することで、報知音を発生する。 In S14 when the first vehicle image data cannot be displayed, the HCU 100 and the CID 120 jointly perform display control in the first fail-safe mode. In the first fail-safe mode, image generator 101 of HCU 100 generates substitute image data instead of the first vehicle image data normally displayed by MID 110 . The alternative image data represents only a part of the first vehicle image data, which is predetermined as minimum information necessary for driving the vehicle. The alternative image data is generated so as to include at least information representing vehicle speed information among information related to driving. That is, the substitute image data is image data with a smaller amount of data than the first vehicle image data normally displayed by the MID 110 . Therefore, the MPU 122 of the CID 120 displays the alternative image data in the alternative display area that is part of the image display area of the display 123 . That is, the CID 120 displays alternative image data for the first vehicle image data in addition to the second vehicle image data. The CID 120 displays to the MID 110 that the image data cannot be displayed. For example, when the MID 110 is out of order, the CID 120 displays failure image data indicating that the MID 110 is out of order. CID 120 displays communication disruption image data representing communication disruption between HCU 100 and MID 110 when communication via first communication path 5 and communication via second communication path 6 are both disrupted. good too. In S14, the MID 110 drives the buzzer 118 with the drive circuit 17 to generate a notification sound.
 S14に続くS15では、HCU100は、MID110が第1車両画像データを表示できない異常状態が継続しているか否かを判断する。異常状態が継続している場合に表示制御フローがS14へ戻ることで、第1フェールセーフモードでの表示制御が継続されることになる。一方、異常状態が継続していない場合に表示制御フローは、後述のS13へ進む。 In S15 following S14, the HCU 100 determines whether the abnormal state in which the MID 110 cannot display the first vehicle image data continues. When the abnormal state continues, the display control flow returns to S14, thereby continuing the display control in the first fail-safe mode. On the other hand, if the abnormal state does not continue, the display control flow proceeds to S13, which will be described later.
 ここまで、MID110が第1車両画像データを表示可能でない場合を説明した。これに対し、第1車両画像データを表示可能な場合のS12では、GDC111は、第1通信経路5を通じて取得するテスト画像データに異常があるか否かを判断する。テスト画像データに異常がない場合に表示制御フローはS13に進む。一方、テスト画像データに異常がある場合に表示制御フローは、S16に進む。 So far, the case where the MID 110 cannot display the first vehicle image data has been described. On the other hand, in S12 when the first vehicle image data can be displayed, the GDC 111 determines whether or not the test image data acquired through the first communication path 5 has an abnormality. If there is no abnormality in the test image data, the display control flow proceeds to S13. On the other hand, if there is an abnormality in the test image data, the display control flow proceeds to S16.
 S16では、HCU100及びMID110が共同して、第2フェールセーフモードでの表示制御を行う。第2フェールセーフモードにおいてMID110のGDC111は、HCU100のデータ処理部102から第2通信経路6を通じてセンシングデータを取得する。GDC111は、取得したセンシングデータに基づいて、簡易画像データを生成する。簡易画像データは、第1フェールセーフモードで生成される代替画像データと同様、車両の運転に最低限必要な情報として予め定められた一部の情報のみを表す。つまり、簡易画像データは、通常時にMID110が表示する第1車両画像データに比べてデータ量の少ない画像データである。そこでGDC111は、表示器114に簡易画像データを表示させる。さらにGDC111は、駆動回路17によってブザー118を駆動することで、第1車両画像データの異常発生を乗員に報知するように報知音を発生させる。 In S16, the HCU 100 and MID 110 jointly perform display control in the second failsafe mode. In the second failsafe mode, GDC 111 of MID 110 acquires sensing data from data processing unit 102 of HCU 100 through second communication path 6 . The GDC 111 generates simple image data based on the acquired sensing data. Similar to the alternative image data generated in the first fail-safe mode, the simplified image data represents only a portion of information that is predetermined as minimum information necessary for driving the vehicle. That is, the simplified image data is image data with a smaller amount of data than the first vehicle image data normally displayed by the MID 110 . Therefore, the GDC 111 causes the display 114 to display the simplified image data. Further, the GDC 111 drives the buzzer 118 by the drive circuit 17 to generate a notification sound to notify the occupant of the occurrence of an abnormality in the first vehicle image data.
 S16に続くS17では、HCU100は、画像データが継続して異常であるか否かを判断する。異常状態が継続している場合に表示制御フローがS16へ戻ることで、第2フェールセーフモードでの表示制御が継続されることになる。一方、異常状態が継続していない場合に表示制御フローは、S13へ進む。S13では、HCU100は、通常時の表示制御を行う。通常時の表示制御においてHCU100の画像生成部101は、第1車両画像データをMID110に表示させるとともに、第2車両画像データをCID120に表示させる。 In S17 following S16, the HCU 100 determines whether the image data continues to be abnormal. When the abnormal state continues, the display control flow returns to S16, thereby continuing the display control in the second fail-safe mode. On the other hand, if the abnormal state does not continue, the display control flow proceeds to S13. In S13, the HCU 100 performs normal display control. In normal display control, the image generator 101 of the HCU 100 causes the MID 110 to display the first vehicle image data and the CID 120 to display the second vehicle image data.

 本実施形態によると、第1通信経路5を通じて取得する車両画像データの異常を検出した場合にMID110は、データ処理部102から第2通信経路6を通じて取得するセンシングデータに基づいて、データ量の少ない簡易画像データを生成して表示する。これによりMID110は、第1通信経路5を通じての車両画像データが異常な場合であっても、別の第2通信経路6を通じてデータ処理部からセンシングデータを取得することで、車両に関する画像データの表示を維持することができる。故に、車両画像データ異常時にも画像データ表示を維持するフェールセーフ機能を、装置間の経路追加に留まる簡素な構成により、実現することができる。 According to this embodiment, when an abnormality is detected in the vehicle image data acquired through the first communication path 5, the MID 110, based on the sensing data acquired through the second communication path 6 from the data processing unit 102, selects the data with a small amount of data.

CID 120 then displays the alternative image data. According to this, even when the MID 110 cannot acquire neither the image data nor the sensing data, it is possible to maintain the display of the image data related to the driving of the vehicle.
 本実施形態によると、第1通信経路5を介した画像生成部101とMID110との間の通信途絶、及び第2通信経路6を介したデータ処理部102とMID110との間の通信途絶のうち、少なくとも一方が検出された場合に、CID120は、通信途絶を表す通信途絶画像データを表示する。これによれば、CID120に表示される視覚情報を通じて、車両の乗員にHCU100とMID110との間の通信途絶を報知することができる。 According to the present embodiment, out of communication interruption between the image generation unit 101 and the MID 110 via the first communication path 5 and communication interruption between the data processing unit 102 and the MID 110 via the second communication path 6, , is detected, the CID 120 displays communication disruption image data representing the communication disruption.
