[0024] The processor 10 loads and executes the program 21 to function as an electronic conference control unit 11, an on-demand service usage control unit 12, an interactive communication recognition unit 13, a driving situation recognition unit 14, and a display control unit 15. The process executed by the interactive communication recognition unit 13 corresponds to an interactive communication recognition step in the display control method of the present disclosure, and the process executed by the display control unit 15 corresponds to a display control step in the display control method of the present disclosure.

[0025] The electronic conference control unit 11 executes a process for supporting participation in an electronic conference. Fig. 2 illustrates a situation in which a driver U1 holds an electronic conference with a participant P1 using a communication terminal 251 in a house 250 outside the vehicle 100, a participant P2 using a communication terminal 261 in a house 260, and the like. The electronic conference control unit 11 controls the participation and withdrawal of the driver U1 in the electronic conference in response to a touch operation of the second display 32 by the driver U1.

[0026] FIG. 3 shows the screen of the second display 32 that is compatible with teleconferencing, and on the left side of the screen of the second display 32, there are displayed a navigation button 300 for selecting a navigation function (provided by a navigation device, not shown), a music button 301 for selecting music playback (provided by a music playback device, not shown), and a teleconferencing button 302 for selecting the teleconferencing function.

[0027] When the driver U1 operates the electronic conference button 302, the electronic conference control unit 11 accesses the electronic conference server 210, extracts registered electronic conferences in which the driver U1 can participate, and displays a participation waiting screen 310 for the extracted electronic conference on the second display 32. A conference participation button 311, a conference end button 312, a microphone button 313, and a camera button 314 are displayed on the participation waiting screen 310. These buttons 311 to 314 correspond to operation images for performing instruction operations related to the interactive communication of the present disclosure.

[0028] The conference participation button 311 is a button for applying to participate in the electronic conference, and in response to the touch operation of the conference participation button 311 by the driver U1, the electronic conference control unit 11 transmits application information for participation in the electronic conference to the electronic conference server 210. As a result, the electronic conference server 210 executes a process for handling the driver U1's participation in the electronic conference, the driver U1 enters a state of participating in the electronic conference, and the electronic conference control unit 11 switches the screen of the second display 32 to a conference in progress screen 320. The conference in progress screen 320 displays an electronic conference screen 321 that is shared and visible by the driver U1 and the other participants P1, P2, etc.

[0029] The conference end button 312 is a button for requesting the end of the electronic conference (for the driver U1 to leave the electronic conference), and in response to the driver U1 touching the conference end button 312, the electronic conference control unit 11 transmits electronic conference end request information to the electronic conference server 210. As a result, the electronic conference server 210 executes a process for ending the driver U1's participation in the electronic conference.

[0030] The microphone button 313 is a button for instructing switching of the driver's seat microphone 41 between on and off. The camera button 314 is a button for instructing switching of the driver's seat camera 40 between on and off. The display of the microphone button 313 and the camera button 314 changes depending on whether the driver's seat microphone 41 and the driver's seat camera 40 are on or off, respectively. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the driver's seat camera 40 is set to off, a diagonal line is displayed on the camera button 314, and the driver's seat microphone 41 is set to on.

[0031] The electronic conference control unit 11 converts the speech of the driver U1 input to the driver's seat microphone 41 into digital data and transmits it to the communication terminals of the other participants via the electronic conference server 210. In addition, the electronic conference control unit 11 converts the digital data of the speech transmitted from the communication terminals of the other participants via the electronic conference server 210 into an audio signal and outputs it from the speakers 42, 52.

[0032] The electronic conference control unit 11 also transmits an image of the driver U1 captured by the driver's seat camera 40 to the communication terminals of the other participants via the electronic conference server 210, and displays images of the other participants received from the communication terminals of the other participants via the electronic conference server 210 on the electronic conference screen 321. Furthermore, the electronic conference control unit 11 executes processing such as displaying materials shared among the participants in the electronic conference on the electronic conference screen 321.

[0033] The on-demand service usage control unit 12 performs control corresponding to an on-demand music content usage service as one of the menus provided when the driver U1 or passenger U2 touches the music button 301. Specifically, in response to a request by the driver U1 or passenger U2, the control unit 12 receives and acquires music content from the on-demand service server 220, plays the acquired music content, and outputs the music from the speakers 42, 52.

[0034] The interactive communication recognition unit 13 recognizes that interactive communication (interactive, two-way, conversational, etc. communication) is taking place between the vehicle 100 and a communication target such as an electronic conference server 210 or an on-demand service server 220 outside the vehicle 100. The driving situation recognition unit 14 recognizes the driving situation of the vehicle 100 based on driving state information of the vehicle 100 output from the driving control device 60. The driving state information includes information such as the driving speed of the vehicle 100, the setting of the drive mode (NORMAL, SPORT, ECO, etc.), fuel efficiency, driving distance, ON / OFF of driving assist control, ON / OFF of automatic driving control, etc.

[0035] When the interactive communication recognition unit 13 recognizes that interactive communication is taking place between the vehicle 100 and a communication target outside the vehicle 100, the display control unit 15 performs processing to change the display content of the first display 31 in accordance with the driving condition of the vehicle 100 recognized by the driving condition recognition unit 14.

[0036] [2. Display control processing] The display control process of the first display 31 executed by the display control device 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in Fig. 4. In Fig. 4, the process will be described for the case where the driver U1 participates in an electronic conference.

[0037] In step S1 of Fig. 4, the interactive communication recognition unit 13 recognizes whether the driver U1 is participating in an electronic conference and whether interactive communication is taking place between the vehicle 100 and the electronic conference server 210. In the following step S2, if the interactive communication recognition unit 13 recognizes that interactive communication is taking place, the display control unit 15 advances the process to step S3, and if the interactive communication recognition unit 13 does not recognize that interactive communication is taking place, the display control unit 15 advances the process to step S10. Here, when the driver U1 is participating in an electronic conference, as described above, the display control unit 15 displays the conference in progress screen 320 (see Fig. 3) on the second display 32.

[0038] 5, the display control unit 15 displays a first mode screen 400 showing travel status information of the vehicle 100 on the first display 31, and proceeds to step S6. The first mode screen 400 displays a meter 401 showing the travel speed, a meter 402 showing the output and regeneration of the electric motor, an indicator 404 showing the remaining amount of fuel, an indicator 405 showing the remaining charge amount of the battery, and a multi-information area 403 showing the drive mode, shift position, etc.

[0039] In step S3, the driving situation recognition unit 14 recognizes the driving situation of the vehicle 100 based on the driving situation information output from the driving control device 60. In the following step S4, the display control unit 15 advances the process to step S20 when the driving situation recognition unit 14 recognizes that the vehicle 100 is in a stopped state, and advances the process to step S5 when the driving situation recognition unit 14 does not recognize that the vehicle 100 is in a stopped state.

[0040] 6, the display control unit 15 displays the second mode screen 410, which displays only the teleconference screen 411, on the first display 31, and proceeds to step S7. In this way, when the vehicle 100 is stopped and the driver U1 does not need to check information for driving the vehicle 100, the teleconference screen 411 is displayed on the first display 31, which is disposed in front of the driver U1 and is easily visible to the driver U1, thereby making it easier for the driver U1 to use the teleconference.

[0041] In step S5, if the driving situation recognition unit 14 recognizes that the vehicle 100 is in an autonomous driving state, the display control unit 15 proceeds to step S30, and if the driving situation recognition unit 14 does not recognize that the vehicle 100 is in an autonomous driving state, the display control unit 15 proceeds to step S6.

[0042] In step S30, the display control unit 15 displays the third mode screen 420 displaying the electronic conference screen 421 and the travel status information 422 on the first display 31 as shown in Fig. 7, and proceeds to step S7. The travel status information 422 displays the instantaneous fuel consumption, the driving speed, the drive mode, the shift position, the travel distance, and the time. In this way, when the driver U1 is in an automatic driving mode and the burden of checking the travel status of the vehicle 100 is reduced, the electronic conference screen 421 is displayed on the first display 31 together with the travel status information 422, thereby making it easier for the driver U1 to use the electronic conference while traveling in the vehicle 100.

[0043] In step S6, the display control unit 15 displays the first mode screen 400 shown in FIG.

[0044] Although the display control process when the driver U1 uses an electronic conference has been described in Fig. 4, the process is similar when the driver U1 uses an on-demand content providing service. When using an on-demand content providing service, a content selection screen is displayed instead of the electronic conference screen 411 of the second mode screen 410 shown in Fig. 6, and a content selection screen is displayed instead of the electronic conference screen 421 of the third mode screen 420 shown in Fig. 7.

[0045] 3. Other embodiments In the above embodiment, the predetermined information of the present disclosure displayed on the first display 31 is exemplified by an electronic conference screen and an information screen of music content provided on demand, but the predetermined information of the present disclosure may be any information received by interactive communication. For example, the predetermined information may be an image of the other party in a video call or an information screen of video content.

[0046] In the above embodiment, as shown in Fig. 4, the screen of the first display 31 is switched to any one of the first mode screen, the second mode screen, and the third mode screen in accordance with the driving situation of the vehicle 100. In another embodiment, the screen of the first display 31 may be switched to any one of the first mode screen, the second mode screen, and the third mode screen in accordance with a factor other than the driving situation of the vehicle 100. Also, any two screens from the first mode screen to the third mode screen may be switched, instead of switching all of the first mode screen to the third mode screen.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the vehicle 100 is shown as a moving body of the present disclosure, but the moving body of the present disclosure may be an aircraft, a ship, or the like.
