- the display control unit 72 selects an abnormality response that is linked in advance to the detected abnormality type (S13), and starts the fail-safe control that has been decided to be implemented by shifting to the fail-safe mode (S14). Details of the failsafe control for each abnormality type performed by the display control unit 72 will be described below based on FIGS. 6 to 12 and with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the abnormality detection unit 73 detects, as an abnormality in the displacement of the display area VA, an abnormality in which the display area VA rises too much from the normal position (see the lower reference line RBL), such as the normal position VP1H and the upper position VP2H shown in FIG. do.
- the abnormality detection unit 73 refers to the output signal of the position sensor 64, compares the current position and the desired position, and detects a state in which the difference (see arrow) exceeds the threshold multiple times (for example, about 3 times). If it is detected continuously, it is determined that there is an abnormality of excessive rise (see Figure 7 Abnormality Occurrence).
- the phenomenon in which the display area VA becomes too high is caused by the tilt angle of the concave mirror 62a being deviated from its normal position due to vibrations or the like due to repeated displacement in the vertical direction US while the vehicle is running. If the display area VA rises too much, the content CT displayed as a virtual image at the upper position VP2H may be located in the central visual field CVF and obstruct the driver's forward view, thereby interfering with normal driving.
- the abnormality detection unit 73 detects that the display area VA has risen too much, it provides the display control unit 72 with abnormality type information indicating that the display area VA has risen too much in addition to the abnormality detection information.
- the display control unit 72 continues to display the virtual image Vi even if the abnormality detection unit 73 detects that the display area VA has risen too much.

- the display control unit 72 performs return processing of the displacement mechanism 63 at a predetermined timing as fail-safe control.
- the predetermined timing is, for example, the next time the HUD 100 is activated, specifically the timing when the ignition state of the vehicle Am is switched from the off state to the on state (see IG ON in FIG. 7). Note that the ON state of the ignition of the vehicle Am indicates a state in which the vehicle Am can travel by shifting to the drive range.
- the display control unit 72 controls the drive of the actuator 63a while referring to the output signal of the position sensor 64, and resets the reference position (zero point) of the tilt angle of the concave mirror 62a (see ZPD in FIG. 7). ). After resetting the reference position, the display control unit 72 can return the display area VA to the normal position again by reading the value set in the user calibration. Note that the display control unit 72 resets the reference position based on the fact that "enable" of the HUD 100 has been switched to the OFF state, regardless of whether an abnormality has occurred, in other words, in both normal and abnormal conditions. (See Figure 7 EN OFF). The display control unit 72 can return the display area VA to the normal position at a timing earlier than in normal times by performing reset of the reference position based on switching on of the ignition power supply as a return process only in abnormal situations.
- the display control unit 72 may continue both the displacement of the display area VA and the display of the virtual image Vi after it is determined that the display area VA has risen too much and an abnormality has occurred. In this case, the display control unit 72 maintains a state in which the position of the display area VA can be changed by operation input to the operation unit 68 until the HUD 100 is turned off. That is, as fail-safe control, the display control unit 72 puts the position of the display area VA in a state where it can be changed, and then performs the return process at a predetermined timing. Even if the driver adjusts the position to return the display area VA that has risen too much, the display control unit 72 returns the display area VA to the initial value set by the initial user calibration in the above-mentioned restoration process. Restore position.
- the driver lowers the upper position VP2H and the normal position VP1H, which have risen too high, to appropriate positions by inputting an operation to the operation unit 68 during a period when the vehicle Am is temporarily stopped. Adjustments can be made.
- the vertical movement of the display area VA within the normal movable range is resumed without causing the virtual image Vi to be cut off. Note that when the return process is performed, the result of adjusting the view angle position that was performed after the excessive rise was detected may be discarded.
- the abnormality detection unit 73 detects fixation of the display area VA as an abnormality in the displacement of the display area VA.
- the abnormality detection unit 73 determines that sticking has occurred when the tilt angle of the concave mirror 62a, that is, the output signal of the position sensor 64 remains unchanged despite driving the actuator 63a.
- the display area VA may become stuck due to malfunction of the actuator 63a, malfunction of the gear unit, malfunction of the control circuit or software, or the like.
- the abnormality detection unit 73 refers to the output signal of the position sensor 64 and further specifies the position where the sticking has occurred.
- the abnormality detection unit 73 provides the display control unit 72 with abnormality type information indicating that the sticking has occurred and the location of the occurrence, in addition to the abnormality detection information.
- the first content CT1 that should be displayed at the normal position VP1 is displayed inside or near the central visual field CVF.
- the first content CT1 displayed at the normal position VP1 is often a fast-moving display or a display with a large amount of information. Therefore, if the first content CT1 is displayed within the display area VA at the upper position VP2 without lowering the display area VA, the driver's forward view may be obstructed and normal driving may be hindered.
- the display control unit 72 starts troubleshooting using fail-safe control earlier than when the display area VA is stuck at the normal position VP1. Specifically, when the display area VA is stuck at the upper position VP2, the display control unit 72 determines whether the content CT being displayed obstructs the driver's field of view. The display control unit 72 estimates whether a phenomenon such as flickering occurs or not based on the display size of the content CT being displayed, the speed of display change, the display position within the viewing angle, etc. The display control unit 72 may estimate that a phenomenon such as flickering occurs when displaying a predefined specific content CT, or may grasp the display state of the content CT being displayed and prevent flickering. It is also possible to estimate whether or not such phenomena are accompanied. If it is estimated that a phenomenon such as flickering is involved, the display control unit 72 determines that the content CT being displayed obstructs the view.
- the display control unit 72 determines that the content CT being displayed obstructs the view, the display control unit 72 does not perform the above-mentioned return process, continues displaying the second content CT2 (see FIG. 4), and continues displaying the first content CT1. Abort. As described above, flickering of the virtual image Vi caused by, for example, a change in the number of the speedometer CTv is prevented.
- the display control unit 72 stops displaying the virtual image Vi such as the first content CT1
- the display control unit 72 starts the display at a predetermined timing such as the next time the ignition of the vehicle Am changes from the off state to the on state (see IG ON in FIG. 7). , executes the return process of the displacement mechanism 63.
- the display control unit 72 resets the reference position as a return process based on the ON switching of the ignition state only when the abnormality occurs (see FIG. 7 ZPD at the time of abnormality). .
- the display control unit 72 resumes displaying the first content CT1 when the fixation is resolved by the recovery process.
- the display control unit 72 continues the state where the display of the first content CT1 is stopped.
- the display control unit 72 determines that the content CT being displayed does not obstruct the view, it immediately starts the above-mentioned return process as fail-safe control.
- the display control unit 72 resumes displaying the virtual image Vi when the fixation is resolved by the recovery process.
- the display control unit 72 continues displaying the second content CT2 and stops displaying the first content CT1.
- ⁇ Abnormality type 3 Display area VA is stuck at intermediate position> As shown in FIG. 9, even if the display area VA does not fully transition and is stuck between the normal position VP1 and the upper position VP2 (hereinafter referred to as the intermediate position VPM), the speedometer CTv, etc. Content CT1 is displayed. In this case, as in the case where the vehicle is stuck at the upper position VP2, the driver's forward view may be obstructed and normal driving may be hindered.
- the display control unit 72 When the abnormality detection unit 73 detects sticking at the intermediate position VPM, the display control unit 72 performs the same fail-safe control as when sticking at the upper position VP2 is detected. Specifically, the display control unit 72 determines whether the content CT being displayed obstructs the driver's view, and if it is determined that the content CT being displayed does not obstruct the driver's view, the display control unit 72 displays the second content CT2 (see FIG. 4). ) continues to be displayed, and stops displaying the first content CT1. After stopping the display of the first content CT1, the display control unit 72 performs the above-mentioned return at a predetermined timing such as the next time the ignition of the vehicle Am is turned on from the off state (see IG ON in FIG. 7). Perform processing.
- a predetermined timing such as the next time the ignition of the vehicle Am is turned on from the off state (see IG ON in FIG. 7). Perform processing.
- ⁇ Abnormality type 5 Display area VA is stuck at normal position VP1>
- the abnormality detection unit 73 detects fixation of the display area VA at the normal position VP1 as shown in FIG. 11 as an abnormality in the displacement of the display area VA.
- the second content CT2 that should be displayed at the upper position VP2 is displayed at the normal position VP1.
- the second content CT2 is only displayed lower than in normal times, and is unlikely to become a display object that obstructs the driver's forward view. Therefore, the display control unit 72 continues displaying the virtual image Vi when the display area VA is fixed at the normal position VP1.
- the display control unit 72 performs the above-described recovery process at a predetermined timing (see IG ON in FIG. 7), such as the next time the ignition of the vehicle Am is turned on from the off state. Even if a type 5 sticking abnormality occurs, the display control unit 72 resets the reference position as a return process based on the ON switching of the ignition state only when the abnormality occurs (see FIG. 7 ZPD at the time of abnormality). . Even if the fixation is not resolved by the recovery process, the display control unit 72 continues to display the virtual image Vi.
- the phenomenon in which the display area VA falls too low is caused by the tilt angle of the concave mirror 62a deviating from the normal position due to repeated displacement of the display area VA during driving, similar to the above-mentioned abnormality in which the display area VA falls too much.
- the display control unit 72 continues to display the virtual image Vi even if the abnormality detection unit 73 detects that the display area VA has fallen too much.
- the display control unit 72 may continue the state in which the display area VA can be displaced, or may restrict (prohibit) the displacement of the display area VA. ) may be done.
- the display control unit 72 performs a return process at a predetermined timing (see FIG.
- the display control unit 72 resets the reference position as a return process based on the ON switching of the ignition state only when the abnormality occurs (see FIG. 7 ZPD at the time of abnormality) ).
- the abnormality detection unit 73 detects an abnormality in which the display area VA continues to shake (continue to move) in the vertical direction US without being fixed at a specific position, as an abnormality in the displacement of the display area VA. For example, if an abnormality occurs in the actuator 63a, the drive circuit, the gear unit, or the like, a phenomenon occurs in which the display area VA is small and continues to move in the vertical direction US, or in other words, a phenomenon in which the position of the display area VA becomes unstable occurs.
- the abnormality detection unit 73 refers to the output signal of the position sensor 64 and determines that the display area VA continues to swing up and down when a continuous change exceeding a threshold value is observed in the position of the display area VA.
- the display control unit 72 continues to display the virtual image Vi even if the abnormality detection unit 73 detects a timing shift. In this case, although the driver may feel uncomfortable when changing the position of the display area VA, it is unlikely that the content CT will interfere with the forward field of view. Therefore, priority may be given to ensuring the convenience of the driver by continuing to display the virtual image Vi.
- ⁇ Abnormality type 9 Occurrence of abnormal noise and vibration due to displacement>
- the HUD 100 is provided with an operation unit 68 that can switch the display on and off. If the driver feels that the noise and vibrations are bothersome, he or she can input an operation to turn off the display into the operation unit 68.
- the display control unit 72 stops displaying the virtual image Vi based on input information obtained from the operation unit 68.
- the abnormality detection unit 73 further detects an abnormality in the PGU 61 that emits the display light Lvi. Specifically, the abnormality detection unit 73 detects, as an abnormality of the PGU 61, an abnormality in which light from the backlight is directly emitted (hereinafter referred to as a white image abnormality).
- the white screen abnormality occurs due to an abnormality in the LCD panel, drive circuit, or the like. When a white screen abnormality occurs, the driver is forced to look away from the road ahead, making it impossible to continue driving normally.
- the display control unit 72 immediately stops displaying the virtual image Vi as fail-safe control without performing a recovery process. This avoids a situation where normal driving is hindered due to the glare of the white screen making it difficult to see ahead.
- the display of the virtual image Vi is stopped, and in a scene where the virtual image Vi is not likely to obstruct the driver's field of view, the display of the virtual image Vi is allowed to continue. Therefore, even if an abnormality occurs, the influence on the driver can be minimized.
- the position of the display area VA is switched between a plurality of positions including at least the normal position VP1 and the upper position VP2 above the normal position VP1.
- abnormality response using failsafe control is started earlier than when the display area VA is stuck at the normal position VP1.
- the display area VA is fixed at the upper position VP2, there is a possibility that the content CT in a troublesome manner will be displayed inside or near the central visual field CVF.
- an abnormality response to the sticking at the upper position VP2 is started early, even if the virtual image Vi obstructs the driver's field of vision, it can be quickly resolved.
- the display area VA when the display area VA is fixed at the upper position VP2, it is determined whether or not the content CT being displayed obstructs the driver's view. If the content CT being displayed obstructs the view, the display of the second content CT2 linked to the upper position VP2 is continued, while the display of the first content CT1 linked to the normal position VP1 is stopped. According to the above, a situation in which the first content CT1 whose display changes rapidly is displayed in the display area VA at the upper position VP2 overlapping the central visual field CVF and obstructs the driver's field of view is less likely to occur. Furthermore, since the content CT associated with the upper position VP2 continues to be displayed, the driver's convenience is less likely to be impaired.
- the display area VA when the display area VA is fixed at the normal position VP1, the display of the virtual image Vi is continued. Then, the recovery process is performed as fail-safe control at a predetermined timing. Even if the second content CT2, which is supposed to be displayed at the upper position VP2, is displayed at the fixed normal position VP1, the driver's field of view is not easily obstructed. Furthermore, since the return process is executed at a predetermined timing, the display area VA can be prevented from being stuck. As described above, by performing the process to continue displaying the virtual image Vi, the influence on the driver due to the occurrence of sticking can be suppressed to a minimum.
- the display area VA when the display area VA is fixed at an intermediate position VPM between the normal position VP1 and the upper position VP2, it is determined whether or not the content CT being displayed obstructs the driver's view. If the content CT being displayed obstructs the view, the display of the second content CT2 linked to the upper position VP2 is continued, while the display of the first content CT1 linked to the normal position VP1 is stopped. According to the above, a situation in which the first content CT1 whose display changes rapidly is displayed in the vicinity of the central visual field CVF and obstructs the driver's field of view is less likely to occur. In addition, if the content CT being displayed does not obstruct the view, the restoration process is immediately executed, making it possible to restart the virtual image display with only a temporary interruption. As a result, the driver's convenience is less likely to be impaired.
- the present embodiment as an abnormality in the displacement of the display area VA, unsmooth displacement is detected. If unsmoothness is detected, the display of the virtual image Vi is continued. In this way, even if the displacement is uneven, each content CT can be displayed at an appropriate display position, so that the driver's forward view is not easily obstructed. Furthermore, by performing the recovery process at a predetermined timing and eliminating the unsmoothness, the impact on the driver due to the occurrence of an abnormality can be suppressed.
- the display control unit 72 continues to display the virtual image Vi while allowing the driver to adjust the position of the display area VA, and The return process of the displacement mechanism 63 is performed as fail-safe control at the appropriate timing. Therefore, the driver can adjust the position of the display area VA that is too high downward, for example when the vehicle is stopped, to return it to an appropriate position. As a result, the influence on the driver due to the abnormal occurrence of excessive rise can be further suppressed.
- an excessive drop in the display area VA is detected as an abnormality in the displacement of the display area VA. If it is detected that the display area VA has fallen too much, the virtual image Vi continues to be displayed, and a return process is performed at a predetermined timing. By resetting the position of the display area VA in this manner, the movable range of the display area VA can return to the normal range. As a result, even if an abnormality of excessive drop occurs, the influence on the driver can be suppressed to a minimum.
- the display control unit 72 continues to display the virtual image Vi while allowing the driver to adjust the position of the display area VA, and The return process of the displacement mechanism 63 is performed as fail-safe control at the appropriate timing. Therefore, the driver can adjust the position of the display area VA that has fallen too far downward, for example when the vehicle is stopped, to return it to an appropriate position. As a result, it becomes possible to further suppress the influence on the driver due to the abnormal occurrence of excessively low pressure.
- an abnormality in which the timing of switching the content CT and the timing of displacing the display area VA is detected as an abnormality in the displacement of the display area VA. Even if a timing shift is detected, the virtual image Vi continues to be displayed. In this way, when the image and the operation of the actuator 63a do not match, it may give the driver a sense of discomfort when switching the display area VA, but it is unlikely to interfere with the forward field of view. Therefore, by taking measures against the abnormality to continue displaying the virtual image Vi, even if an abnormality that causes a timing shift occurs, it is possible to suppress the influence on the driver.
- the display of the virtual image Vi is stopped based on input information to the operation unit 68 that switches the display of the virtual image Vi on and off. Therefore, when abnormal noise and vibration occur due to movement of the display area VA, the driver who feels uncomfortable can stop displaying the virtual image Vi at his/her own discretion. Therefore, by preparing the operation section 68, even if an abnormality that cannot be detected by the abnormality detection section 73 occurs, the influence on the driver can be suppressed.
- an abnormality in the PGU 61 that emits the display light Lvi that is formed as the virtual image Vi is detected. Then, when an abnormality in the PGU 61 is detected, display of the virtual image Vi is stopped. When a white image abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the PGU 61, the driver is forced to look away from the front. Therefore, by immediately stopping the display of the virtual image Vi without performing the recovery process, the period during which the driver's normal driving is inhibited is shortened. As a result, the influence of abnormalities in the PGU 61 on the driver can be minimized.
- the normal position VP1 corresponds to the "first position”
- the upper position VP2 corresponds to the "second position”

Abstract
Description
異常検知部73は、表示域VAの変位の異常として、図6に示す通常位置VP1H及び上方位置VP2Hのように、正常な位置(下基準線RBL参照)から表示域VAが上がり過ぎる異常を検知する。異常検知部73は、ポジションセンサ64の出力信号を参照し、現在位置とあるべき位置との比較を行い、これらの差分(矢印参照)が閾値を超えた状態を複数回(例えば3回程度)継続して検知した場合に、上がり過ぎの異常と判定する(図7 異常発生を参照)。表示域VAが上がり過ぎる現象は、走行中における上下方向USの変位の繰り返しにより、凹面鏡62aのチルト角が振動等によって正規の位置からずれることで引き起こされる。表示域VAが上がり過ぎた場合、上方位置VP2Hに虚像表示されるコンテンツCTは、中心視野CVFに位置してドライバの前方視界を遮ることで、正常な運転を阻害する可能性がある。異常検知部73は、表示域VAの上がり過ぎを検知した場合、異常検知情報に加えて、表示域VAが上がり過ぎていることを示す異常種別情報を表示制御部72に提供する。
異常検知部73は、表示域VAの変位の異常として、表示域VAの固着を検知する。異常検知部73は、アクチュエータ63aを駆動しているにも関わらず、凹面鏡62aのチルト角、即ち、ポジションセンサ64の出力信号が変化しない状態が継続した場合に、固着が発生したと判定する。表示域VAの固着は、アクチュエータ63aの動作不良、ギヤユニットの不具合、制御回路又はソフトウェアの不具合等によって生じ得る。異常検知部73は、表示域VAの固着を検知した場合、ポジションセンサ64の出力信号を参照し、固着が発生した位置をさらに特定する。異常検知部73は、表示域VAの固着を検知した場合、異常検知情報に加えて、固着が発生したこと及びその発生位置を示す異常種別情報を表示制御部72に提供する。
図9に示すように、表示域VAが遷移しきらず、通常位置VP1及び上方位置VP2の間(以下、中間位置VPM)で固着した場合も、中心視野CVFの近傍にスピードメータCTv等の第1コンテンツCT1が表示されてしまう。この場合、上方位置VP2で固着した場合と同様に、ドライバの前方視界が遮られ、正常な運転を阻害する可能性がある。
異常検知部73は、表示域VAの変位の異常として、図10に示すような変位の不円滑を検知する。正常時において、通常位置VP1及び上方位置VP2の間での表示域VAの移動は、概ね一定の速度で実施される(図10 破線参照)。対して、アクチュエータ63a、駆動回路又はギヤユニット等に何らかの異常が生じた場合、表示域VAの移動速度は変動する(図10 実線参照)。異常検知部73は、ポジションセンサ64の出力信号を参照し、移動速度の変動が閾値を超えている場合、変位の不円滑が発生していると判定する。
異常検知部73は、表示域VAの変位の異常として、図11に示すような通常位置VP1での表示域VAの固着を検知する。通常位置VP1にて表示域VAが固着した場合、上方位置VP2に表示されるべき第2コンテンツCT2が通常位置VP1に表示される。この場合、第2コンテンツCT2は、正常時よりも下方に表示されるだけであり、ドライバの前方視界を妨げる表示物とはなり難い。故に、表示制御部72は、通常位置VP1で表示域VAが固着した場合、虚像Viの表示を継続する。表示制御部72は、フェールセーフ制御として、車両Amのイグニッションがオフ状態からオン状態になる次回起動時等の所定のタイミング(図7 IG ON参照)にて、上述の復帰処理を実施する。タイプ5の固着異常が発生した場合でも、表示制御部72は、異常発生時のみ、イグニッション状態のオン切り替えに基づき、復帰処理としての基準位置のリセットを実施する(図7 異常時のZPD参照)。復帰処理によって固着が解消しないでも、表示制御部72は、虚像Viの表示を継続する。
異常検知部73は、表示域VAの変位の異常として、図12に示す通常位置VP1L及び上方位置VP2Lのように、正常な位置(上基準線RTL参照)から表示域VAが下がり過ぎる異常を検知する。異常検知部73は、ポジションセンサ64の出力信号を参照し、現在位置とあるべき位置との比較を行い、これらの差分(矢印参照)が閾値を超えた場合に、下がり過ぎの異常と判定する。表示域VAが下がり過ぎる現象は、上述の上がり過ぎの異常と同様に、走行中における表示域VAの変位の繰り返しで、凹面鏡62aのチルト角が正規の位置からずれることで引き起こされる。
異常検知部73は、表示域VAの変位の異常として、表示域VAが特定位置で固定されずに上下方向USに揺れ続ける(動き続ける)異常を検知する。例えば、アクチュエータ63a、駆動回路又はギヤユニット等に異常が生じた場合、表示域VAが小さく上下方向USに動き続ける現象、言い替えれば、表示域VAの位置が安定しない現象が発生する。異常検知部73は、ポジションセンサ64の出力信号を参照し、表示域VAの位置について、閾値を超える継続的な変動を観測した場合、表示域VAが上下に揺れ続けていると判定する。
異常検知部73は、表示域VAの変位の異常として、コンテンツCTを切り替えるタイミングと表示域VAを変位させるタイミングとがずれる異常を検知する。異常検知部73は、表示制御部72から取得する表示制御情報に基づき、コンテンツCT(映像)の切り替えタイミングを把握する。さらに、異常検知部73は、ポジションセンサ64の出力信号を参照し、画角移動の開始タイミングを把握する。異常検知部73は、把握した各タイミングに基づき、アクチュエータ63aの動作が規定のタイミングより遅い、及び映像の切り替わりが規定のタイミングより遅い等の事象の発生を検知する。
表示域VAの変位の異常として、表示域VAの位置の上下に伴う異音又は振動の発生が想定される。こうした異常は、異常検知部73による検知が困難となる。そのため、HUD100には、表示のオン及びオフを切り替え可能な操作部68が設けられている。異音及び振動が煩わしいと感じたドライバは、表示をオフにする操作を操作部68に入力できる。表示制御部72は、操作部68から取得する入力情報に基づき、虚像Viの表示を中止する。このように、表示域VAの変位に伴う異音及び振動は、ドライバに煩わしさを感じさせ得るものの、前方視界を妨げる要因とはなり難い。故に、虚像Viの表示継続により、ドライバの利便性の確保が優先されてよい。
異常検知部73は、表示域VAの変位の異常に加えて、表示光Lviを射出するPGU61の異常をさらに検知する。具体的に、異常検知部73は、PGU61の異常として、バックライトの光がそのまま射出される異常(以下、白画異常)を検知する。白画異常は、LCDパネル又は駆動回路等の異常によって発生する。白画異常が発生すると、ドライバは、前方から目を逸らさざるを得ない状況となり、正常な運転を継続できなくなる。故に、表示制御部72は、異常検知部73にてPGU61の白画異常が検知された場合、フェールセーフ制御として、復帰処理を行うことなく、虚像Viの表示を即時中止する。これにより、白画の眩しさによって前方の視認が困難となり、正常運転が阻害される事態は回避される。
ここまで説明した本実施形態では、表示域VAの変位の異常として、表示域VAの固着が検知された場合、表示域VAの固着した位置に応じた内容のフェールセーフ制御が行われる。故に、HUD100は、虚像Viの表示域VAを変位可能な構成であっても、異常の発生に伴うドライバ等のユーザへの影響を抑制できる。
以上、本開示の一実施形態について説明したが、本開示は、上記実施形態に限定して解釈されるものではなく、本開示の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において種々の実施形態及び組み合わせに適用できる。
