Embodiment approach 1

[0040]

[0041] The display control system 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention performs display control of the instrument cluster display unit 40 mounted in the vehicle. In the following description, it is assumed that the display control system 100 is described as a device mounted on a vehicle.

[0042] figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the display control system 100 . The display control system 100 includes an information acquisition unit 11 , an event occurrence determination unit 12 , a display control unit 15 , a control unit 16 , and a rendering information storage unit 17 .

[0043] The information acquisition unit 11 acquires event determination information for determining whether or not an event has occurred in the event occurrence determination unit 12 . The event judgment information includes at least any of AV (Audio Visual) information, navigation information, and vehicle information acquired via an in-vehicle LAN (Loc...

example 1

[0051] figure 2 A display example of the instrument cluster display unit 40 when an event occurs is shown. figure 2 and Figure 11 In , the same reference numerals are attached to the corresponding constituent elements.

[0052] figure 2 (a) shows a display example when an event that the remaining battery level is low occurs. At this time, the alarm notification lamp 30a lights up, indicating that an event related to the alarm has occurred. In addition, an event icon 31 indicating that the remaining battery level is low is displayed at a position overlapping with the notification lamp 30 a or next to it. In addition, a part of the information display area 34 arranged between the two gauges 37 is displayed as the event icon display area 35 in a color different from other areas, and the events from the current position of the event icon 31 to the event icon display area 35 are displayed. The movement path 32. Here, the movement path 32 is expressed in a cylindrical shap...

example 2

[0066] figure 2 In , a display example in which a movement icon 33 other than the event icon 31 moves from the movement source of the event icon 31 to the movement destination along the movement route 32 is shown. However, the event icon 31 may also serve as the movement icon 33 , that is, the event icon 31 may be moved along the movement path 32 as a movement icon. This display method is shown as display example 2 in Figure 4 middle.

[0067] Figure 4 (a) shows a display example of the instrument cluster display unit 40 when an event that the remaining battery level is low occurs. At this time, the alarm notification lamp 30a lights up, indicating that an event related to the alarm has occurred. In addition, an event icon 31 indicating that the remaining battery level is low is displayed next to the notification lamp 30a. In addition, a part of the information display area 34 arranged between the two gauges 37 is displayed as the event icon display area 35 in a color ...

Abstract

A display control system according to the present invention is a display control system in a vehicle and is provided with: an information obtaining unit 11 for obtaining, as event determination information, at least any one of vehicle information, audio-visual information, and navigation information; an event occurrence determining unit 12 for determining the occurrence of an event from the event determination information; and a display control unit 15 for controlling a display of a meta cluster, wherein the display control unit 15 displays, on the meta cluster, a moving icon which represents the occurrence of an event and moves from a first area to a second area of the meta cluster, and a movement path 32 of the moving icon from the first area to the second area, when the event occurs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to display control of instrument clusters in vehicles, and more particularly to display of event icons. Background technique [0002] The instrument cluster in the vehicle displays event information when predetermined event conditions are met in addition to the speedometer and tachometer. The event information is, for example, a side brake warning light, an air bag warning light, and the like. In this way, a large number of displays are displayed on the instrument cluster, so even if event information is displayed, it will be buried by other displays, and there is a problem that the driver's awareness is low. [0003] To solve this problem, in the instrument cluster of Patent Document 1, a display area is provided at the center thereof, and an animation for moving the event icon from the initial display area to the display area is displayed to improve the recognition of event icons. [0004] prior art literature [0005...
