[0033] This makes it possible to easily select one or more target images to be output and displayed on the second display device from among the multiple target images displayed on the first display device.

[0034] Moreover, the display control device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a notification unit that notifies the content of the first operation.

[0035] This allows the first operation to be performed more reliably, so that the second display device can be selected more reliably, and the image displayed on the first display device can be output to and displayed on the second display device more reliably.

[0036] Furthermore, the display control device according to an aspect of the present disclosure may include a third operation detection unit that detects a third operation that serves as a trigger for starting acceptance of the first operation.

[0037] This makes it possible to know when acceptance of the first operation has begun and to more reliably provide assistance for the first operation, thereby more reliably selecting the second display device and more reliably outputting and displaying the image displayed on the first display device to the second display device.

[0038] In addition, in a display control device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, each of the multiple display devices may be placed in a vehicle or carried by a person occupying the vehicle, and may be equipped with a decision unit that decides the content of the first operation based on the driving condition of the vehicle.

[0039] This allows the content of the first operation to be appropriately determined based on the vehicle's driving conditions, so that the second display device can be selected more reliably, and the image displayed on the first display device can be output to and displayed on the second display device more reliably.

[0040] In addition, in a display control device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, each of the plurality of display devices may be disposed in a vehicle or carried by a person occupying the vehicle, and may include a setting reception unit that receives a setting for at least one of the plurality of display devices to prohibit the first operation using the display device.

[0041] This can prevent the first operation from interfering with driving the vehicle.

[0042] Furthermore, a display control method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first operation support step of supporting a first operation of selecting a second display device from among a plurality of display devices, each of which is capable of displaying an image, in order to output a target image, which is the image displayed on a first display device, to a second display device different from the first display device for display, and a control step of outputting and displaying the target image on the second display device selected by the first operation.

[0043] This provides the same advantageous effects as the above-mentioned display control device.

[0044] Moreover, a program according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a program for causing a computer to execute the above-described display control method.

[0045] This provides the same advantageous effects as the above-mentioned display control device.

[0046] Hereinafter, the embodiment will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

[0047] The embodiments described below are all comprehensive or specific examples. The numerical values, shapes, materials, components, the arrangement and connection forms of the components, steps, and the order of steps shown in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. In addition, among the components in the following embodiments, components that are not described in the independent claims are described as optional components. In addition, each figure is a schematic diagram and is not necessarily a strict illustration. In addition, in each figure, the same components are given the same reference numerals.

[0048] (Embodiment) 1 is a schematic diagram showing a vehicle 1 equipped with a display control device 10 (described later) according to an embodiment. First, the vehicle 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0049] 1, the X-axis direction indicates the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1, with the positive side of the X-axis direction indicating the front and the negative side of the X-axis direction indicating the rear. The Y-axis direction indicates the left-right direction of the vehicle 1, with the positive side of the Y-axis direction indicating the left and the negative side of the Y-axis direction indicating the right. The Z-axis direction indicates the up-down direction of the vehicle 1, with the positive side of the Z-axis direction indicating the upward direction and the negative side of the Z-axis direction indicating the downward direction.

[0050] 1, a vehicle 1 includes a plurality of seats 2a to 2f and a plurality of display devices 3a to 3i. For example, the vehicle 1 is an automobile or the like.

[0051] Seat 2a is the driver's seat. Seat 2b is the passenger seat. Seat 2c is the second seat on the right side. Seat 2d is the second seat on the left side. Seat 2e is the third seat on the right side. Seat 2f is the third seat on the left side. Here, person 100a is sitting in seat 2a, person 100b is sitting in seat 2b, person 100c is sitting in seat 2c, and person 100d is sitting in seat 2d.

[0052] Each of the plurality of display devices 3a-3i is capable of displaying an image. For example, the image is an image of an application. Each of the plurality of display devices 3a-3i is disposed in a vehicle 1 or carried by a person riding in the vehicle 1. Specifically, each of the plurality of display devices 3a-3g is disposed in the vehicle 1. Furthermore, the display device 3h is carried by a person 100a riding in the vehicle 1, and the display device 3i is carried by a person 100b riding in the vehicle 1.

[0053] The display devices 3a to 3i correspond to the seats 2a to 2f, respectively, and include display devices capable of displaying images so that the person sitting in the seat can see. Specifically, the display device 3a corresponds to the seat 2a, and can display images so that the person 100a sitting in the seat 2a can see. The display device 3b corresponds to the seat 2b, and can display images so that the person 100b sitting in the seat 2b can see. The display device 3c corresponds to the seat 2c, and can display images so that the person 100c sitting in the seat 2c can see. The display device 3d corresponds to the seat 2d, and can display images so that the person 100d sitting in the seat 2d can see. The display device 3e corresponds to the seat 2e, and can display images so that the person sitting in the seat 2e can see. The display device 3f corresponds to the seat 2f, and can display images so that the person sitting in the seat 2f can see. Display device 3g is disposed between display device 3a and display device 3b, and is capable of displaying an image so as to be visible to person 100a sitting in seat 2a and person 100b sitting in seat 2b. For example, display devices 3a, 3b, and 3g are disposed on the dashboard of vehicle 1, display device 3c is disposed on the headrest of seat 2a or the ceiling of vehicle 1, display device 3d is disposed on the headrest of seat 2b or the ceiling of vehicle 1, display device 3e is disposed on the headrest of seat 2c or the ceiling of vehicle 1, and display device 3f is disposed on the headrest of seat 2d or the ceiling of vehicle 1. Each of the display devices 3a to 3g is configured by a touch panel display or the like.

[0054] The display devices 3h and 3i are display devices in mobile terminals. Here, the display device 3h is a display device in the mobile terminal of the person 100a sitting in the seat 2a, and the display device 3i is a display device in the mobile terminal of the person 100b sitting in the seat 2b. For example, the mobile terminals are smartphones, tablet terminals, etc.

[0055] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the display control device 10 shown in Fig. 1. Next, the functional configuration of the display control device 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 2.

[0056] As shown in Fig. 2, the display control device 10 includes a first display control unit 20 and a second display control unit 40. For example, the display control device 10 is realized by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory, a storage, a communication interface, and a SoC (System on Chip). The display control device 10 can communicate with the display devices 3h, 3i, etc. through the communication interface. Furthermore, the display control device 10 can control the display devices 3a to 3g through the SoC.

[0057] The first display control unit 20 has a third operation detection unit 21, a setting reception unit 22, a setting determination unit 23, a type determination unit 24, an image number determination unit 25, a reception operation determination unit 26, a driving state acquisition unit 27, an operation content determination unit 28, an operation content notification unit 29, a first operation support unit 30, a second operation reception unit 31, and an image information transmission unit 32.

[0058] The third operation detection unit 21 detects the third operation. The third operation is an operation that triggers the start of the acceptance of the first operation. In other words, when the third operation is performed, the acceptance of the first operation is started. The first operation is an operation of selecting a second display device from among the multiple display devices 3a to 3i in order to output and display a target image, which is an image displayed on a first display device among the multiple display devices 3a to 3i, on a second display device different from the first display device. For example, when the third operation is performed, information indicating that the third operation has been performed is transmitted to the third operation detection unit 21, and the third operation detection unit 21 detects the third operation by acquiring the information.

[0059] The third operation can be performed using each of the multiple display devices 3a-3i, and when the third operation is performed using the multiple display devices 3a-3i, each of the multiple display devices 3a-3i transmits information indicating that the third operation has been performed to the third operation detection unit 21. The third operation is performed by people 100a-100d, etc. In this embodiment, the display device among the multiple display devices 3a-3i on which the third operation has been performed becomes the first display device, and acceptance of the first operation is started using the first display device.

[0060] For example, the third operation is an operation of long pressing or tapping the display surface with one or more fingers. The third operation is also an operation of tapping the display surface an arbitrary number of times in a relatively short time. The third operation is also an operation of long pressing or tapping a specific area in a displayed image. The third operation is also an operation of long pressing the display surface and then moving the finger so as to draw a figure such as a circle or a triangle on the display surface. The content of the third operation may be arbitrarily set or may be set in advance. Also, it may be possible to determine whether the target image is copied, moved, or mirrored on the second display device depending on the number of fingers performing the third operation, etc.

[0061] The setting reception unit 22 receives a setting for prohibiting the first operation using at least one of the display devices 3a to 3i. For example, a button or the like for setting prohibition of the first operation using the display device 3b corresponding to the seat 2b is arranged on the vehicle 1, and the setting reception unit 22 receives a setting for prohibiting the first operation using the display device 3b using the button. The setting reception unit 22 sets the setting for prohibiting the first operation using the display device 3b while the button is pressed, and cancels the setting when the button is not pressed. Note that the setting reception unit 22 may set the setting for prohibiting the first operation using the display device 3b when the button is pressed, and cancel the setting when the button is pressed again. In addition, the setting reception unit 22 may be capable of displaying a setting screen for accepting a setting for prohibiting the first operation using the display device for each of the display devices 3a to 3i on each of the display devices 3a to 3i, and may accept the setting by displaying the setting screen.

[0062] The setting determination unit 23 determines whether or not a setting is made for the first display device to prohibit a first operation using the first display device.

[0063] When the target image is output to the second display device selected by the first operation, the type determination unit 24 determines which type of output is to be used, namely, moving, copying, or mirroring. For example, the type determination unit 24 determines which type of output is to be used, based on the third operation. Specifically, the type determination unit 24 determines which type of output is to be used, based on the content of the third operation (for example, the number of fingers performing the third operation, etc.). The type of output of the target image may be determined in advance, or may be selectable by an operation different from the third operation. When the target image is moved to the second display device, the target image displayed on the first display device is displayed on the second display device, and the target image is no longer displayed on the first display device. When the target image is copied to the second display device, the target image displayed on the first display device is also displayed on the second display device, and the target image can be used for operations, etc., independently on the first display device and the second display device. When a target image is mirrored on a second display device, the target image displayed on the first display device is also displayed on the second display device, and when an operation etc. is performed using the target image on the first display device, the same operation etc. is also performed on the second display device using the target image.

[0064] The image number determination unit 25 determines the number of target images, which are images displayed on the first display device. As described above, the images are, for example, images of an application.

[0065] The accepted operation determination unit 26 determines whether to accept both the first operation and the second operation or to accept only the first operation based on the number of target images. Specifically, the accepted operation determination unit 26 determines that both the first operation and the second operation are accepted when a plurality of target images are displayed on the first display device, and determines that only the first operation of the first and second operations is accepted when a single target image is displayed on the first display device instead of a plurality of target images.

[0066] The running state acquisition unit 27 acquires the running state of the vehicle 1. For example, the running state is obtained from a group of sensors attached to the vehicle 1, an occupant monitoring system provided in the vehicle 1, a navigation system provided in the vehicle 1, and the like. For example, the group of sensors includes a vibration sensor, an acceleration sensor, and the like.

[0067] The operation content determination unit 28 is an example of a determination unit that determines the content of the first operation based on the running state of the vehicle 1. Specifically, the operation content determination unit 28 determines which of swipe, flick, drag, tap, and voice should be used as the first operation based on the running state of the vehicle 1. For example, the operation content determination unit 28 determines the content of the first operation to select the second display device by tapping when the vibration of the vehicle 1 is greater than or equal to a predetermined magnitude. In addition, the operation content determination unit 28 determines the content of the first operation to select the second display device with preset content when the vehicle 1 is stopped. In addition, the operation content determination unit 28 determines the content of the first operation to select the second display device by tapping when the steering wheel is repeatedly turned left by a predetermined angle or more and turned right by a predetermined angle or more. In addition, the operation content determination unit 28 determines the content of the first operation to select the second display device by tapping when the state in which the acceleration to the left in the left-right direction of the vehicle 1 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value and the state in which the acceleration to the right in the left-right direction of the vehicle 1 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value are repeated. In addition, the operation content determination unit 28 determines the content of the first operation to select the second display device by voice when the person 100a (driver) sitting in the seat 2a is facing sideways. In addition, the operation content determination unit 28 determines the content of the first operation to select the second display device by voice in a predetermined range including a left turn point and a predetermined range including a right turn point in the driving route of the vehicle 1. Note that the content of the first operation may be predetermined or may be determined by the content of the third operation.

[0068] The operation content notifying unit 29 notifies the content of the first operation determined by the operation content determining unit 28. For example, the operation content notifying unit 29 notifies the content of the first operation by causing the first display device to display the content of the first operation. Note that the operation content notifying unit 29 may notify the content of the first operation by sounding it.

[0069] The first operation support unit 30 supports a first operation of selecting a second display device from among the multiple display devices 3a to 3i in order to output and display a target image, which is an image displayed on a first display device among the multiple display devices 3a to 3i each capable of displaying an image, on a second display device different from the first display device.

[0070] When there are multiple target images, the second operation accepting unit 31 accepts a second operation for selecting one or more target images to be output to and displayed on the second display device from among the multiple target images.

[0071] When each of the plurality of display devices 3a to 3i is a first display device, the first operation and the second operation can be performed using the display device. The first operation and the second operation are performed by the persons 100a to 100d, etc.

[0072] For example, the first operation support unit 30 supports the first operation by causing the first display device to display an object indicating the first display device, one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device among the multiple display devices 3a to 3i, and guide lines extending from the object indicating the first display device to each of the one or more objects indicating the one or more display devices. In this case, the first operation is an operation of selecting the second display device by swiping along the guide line extending from the object indicating the first display device to an object indicating the second display device among the one or more objects indicating the one or more display devices.

[0073] In this case, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives a second operation of selecting one or more target images to be output to the second display device and displayed from among the multiple target images by displaying the multiple target images on the first display device together with an object indicating the first display device, one or more objects indicating the one or more display devices, and guide lines from the object indicating the first display device toward each of the one or more objects. Also, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives a second operation of selecting one or more target images to be output to the second display device and displayed from among the multiple target images by displaying the multiple target images on the first display device before the object indicating the first display device, etc. is displayed. In this case, the second operation is an operation of selecting one or more target images by tapping or swiping one or more target images.

[0074] In the following, one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device among the plurality of display devices 3a to 3i may be simply referred to as one or more objects.

[0075] For example, the first operation support unit 30 supports the first operation by displaying, on the first display device, an interface including a central region and one or more regions arranged around the central region and each of which has one or more objects arranged therein. In this case, the first operation is an operation of selecting the second display device by flicking from the central region toward the region in which an object indicating the second display device is arranged among the one or more objects.

[0076] In this case, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives a second operation of selecting one or more target images to be output to the second display device and displayed from among the multiple target images by displaying the multiple target images on the first display device together with an interface including a central region and one or more regions. Also, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives a second operation of selecting one or more target images to be output to the second display device and displayed from among the multiple target images by displaying the multiple target images on the first display device before the interface is displayed. In this case, the second operation is an operation of selecting one or more target images by tapping or swiping one or more target images.

[0077] For example, the first operation support unit 30 supports the first operation by causing the first display device to display one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device among the multiple display devices 3a to 3i, and an object indicating the target image. In this case, the first operation is an operation of selecting the second display device by dragging the object indicating the target image to move it to an object indicating the second display device among the one or more objects and dropping it.

[0078] In this case, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives a second operation of selecting one or more target images to be output to and displayed on the second display device from among the multiple target images by displaying the multiple target images on the first display device together with one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device and an object indicating the target image. In this case, the second operation is an operation of selecting one or more target images by dragging an object indicating the target image and moving it onto one or more target images.

[0079] Furthermore, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives a second operation for selecting one or more target images to be output to and displayed on the second display device from among the multiple target images by displaying the multiple target images on the first display device before one or more objects or the like indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device are displayed. In this case, the second operation is an operation for selecting one or more target images by tapping or swiping the one or more target images.

[0080] For example, the first operation support unit 30 supports the first operation by causing the first display device to display one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device among the multiple display devices 3a to 3i. In this case, the first operation is an operation of selecting the second display device by tapping an object indicating the second display device from one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device.

[0081] In this case, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives a second operation of selecting one or more target images to be output to the second display device and displayed from among the multiple target images by displaying the multiple target images on the first display device together with one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device. Also, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives a second operation of selecting one or more target images to be output to the second display device and displayed from among the multiple target images by displaying the multiple target images on the first display device before one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device are displayed. In this case, the second operation is an operation of selecting one or more target images by tapping or swiping one or more target images.

[0082] For example, the first operation support unit 30 supports the first operation by having the first display device display one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device among the multiple display devices 3a to 3i, and device names that are names of display devices indicated by each of the one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device. In this case, the first operation is an operation of selecting the second display device by pronouncing the device name indicating the second display device from among the one or more device names.

[0083] In this case, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives a second operation of selecting one or more target images to be output to the second display device and displayed from among the multiple target images by displaying on the first display device multiple objects indicating multiple target images and image names that are names of target images indicated by each of the multiple objects, together with one or more objects and one or more device names indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device. Also, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives a second operation of selecting one or more target images to be output to the second display device and displayed from among the multiple target images by displaying on the first display device multiple objects indicating multiple target images and image names that are names of target images indicated by each of the multiple objects before one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the first display device are displayed. In this case, the second operation is an operation of selecting one or more target images by pronouncing one or more image names indicating one or more target images from among the multiple image names.

[0084] The image information transmitting section 32 transmits image information relating to one or more target images to be output to and displayed on the second display device.

[0085] The second display control unit 40 is an example of a control unit that outputs and displays a target image on the second display device selected by the first operation. The second display control unit 40 includes an image information receiving unit 41, an image drawing unit 42, and an image output unit 43.

[0086] The image information receiving unit 41 receives the image information transmitted by the image information transmitting unit 32 .

[0087] The image drawing unit 42 draws one or more target images based on the image information received by the image information receiving unit 41.

[0088] The image output unit 43 outputs the one or more target images drawn by the image drawing unit 42 to the second display device for display.

[0089] Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a control device 4 that controls the multiple display devices 3a to 3i. Next, with reference to Fig. 3, an example of the control device 4 that controls the multiple display devices 3a to 3i will be described.

[0090] 3(a), a control device 4 that controls each of the display devices 3a to 3i is provided for each of the display devices 3a to 3i. For example, in this case, each of the control devices 4 is provided with a first display control unit 20 and a second display control unit 40.

[0091] 3(b), image information is transmitted from image information transmitting unit 32 of first display control unit 20 in first control device, which is control device 4 that controls the first display device, to image information receiving unit 41 of second display control unit 40 in second control device, which is control device 4 that controls the second display device. As a result, the target image is displayed on the second display device.

[0092] Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of another control device 5 that controls the multiple display devices 3a to 3i. Next, with reference to Fig. 4, an example of another control device 5 that controls the multiple display devices 3a to 3i will be described.

[0093] 4(a), a control device 5 is provided to control a plurality of display devices 3a-3i. In this case, for example, the control device 5 is provided with a virtual machine for controlling each of the plurality of display devices 3a-3i. A first display control unit 20 and a second display control unit 40 are provided in each of the plurality of virtual machines.

[0094] 4(b), image information is transmitted from image information transmitting unit 32 of first display control unit 20 in the first virtual machine, which is the virtual machine controlling the first display device, to image information receiving unit 41 of second display control unit 40 in the second virtual machine, which is the virtual machine controlling the second display device. As a result, the target image is displayed on the second display device.

[0095] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the display control device 10 may include a first display control unit 20 and a second display control unit 40 corresponding to each of the multiple display devices 3a to 3i.

[0096] Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a display control method by the display control device 10 in Fig. 1. Next, with reference to Fig. 5, an example of a display control method by the display control device 10 will be described.

[0097] As shown in FIG. 5, the third operation detection unit 21 determines whether or not a third operation has been detected (step S1).

[0098] When the third operation detection unit 21 has not detected the third operation (No in step S1), the third operation detection unit 21 again determines whether or not the third operation has been detected (step S1).

[0099] When the third operation is detected (Yes in step S1), the setting determination unit 23 determines whether or not the setting for prohibiting the first operation is set (step S2). Here, the display device on which the third operation is performed among the multiple display devices 3a-3i becomes the first display device, and the setting determination unit 23 determines whether or not the setting for prohibiting the first operation is set for the display device on which the third operation is performed among the multiple display devices 3a-3i.

[0100] If the first operation is set to be prohibited (Yes in step S2), the display control device 10 ends the process.

[0101] If the first operation is not prohibited (No in step S2), the type determination unit 24 determines the type of output (step S3). For example, the type determination unit 24 determines whether the target image is to be output by moving, copying, or mirroring, based on the content of the third operation.

[0102] The number of images determining unit 25 determines whether or not a plurality of target images are displayed on the first display device (step S4). Here, the display device on which the third operation has been performed among the plurality of display devices 3a-3i becomes the first display device, so the setting determining unit 23 determines whether or not a plurality of target images are displayed on the display device on which the third operation has been performed among the plurality of display devices 3a-3i.

[0103] If multiple target images are displayed on the first display device (Yes in step S4), the operation content determination unit 28 determines the content of the first operation (step S5), the operation content notification unit 29 notifies the content of the first operation (step S6), the second operation receiving unit 31 receives the second operation (step S7), and the first operation support unit 30 supports the first operation (first operation support step) (step S8).

[0104] On the other hand, if multiple target images are not displayed on the first display device (No in step S4), the operation content determination unit 28 determines the content of the first operation (step S5), the operation content notification unit 29 notifies the content of the first operation (step S6), and the first operation support unit 30 supports the first operation (first operation support step) (step S8).

[0105] The second display control unit 40 outputs and displays one or more target images on the second display device determined by the first operation (control step) (step S9).

[0106] After the third operation is detected (after step S1), if an operation is performed to stop outputting and displaying the target image on the second display device, the processes from step S2 onwards are stopped.

[0107] Figures 6 to 9 are explanatory diagrams for explaining first to fourth operation examples of the display control device 10 in Figure 1. Next, the first to fourth operation examples of the display control device 10 will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 9.

[0108] First, a first operation example will be described with reference to Fig. 6. (a) to (c) of Fig. 6 show a first display device, and (d) of Fig. 6 shows the first display device and the second display device, etc.

[0109] As shown in (a) of Fig. 6, an image 60 is displayed on the display device 3b. When a third operation is performed on the display device 3b, as shown in (b) of Fig. 6, the first operation support unit 30 causes the display device 3b to display an object 50b indicating the display device 3b among the multiple display devices 3a to 3i, one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the display device 3b, and guide lines 51 extending from the object 50b to each of the one or more objects, thereby supporting the first operation.

[0110] For example, the first operation support unit 30 may display an object 50b at a location on the display device 3b where the finger that performed the third operation is touching or at an arbitrary location. The first operation support unit 30 may also arrange the object 50b representing the display device 3b and one or more objects representing one or more display devices other than the display device 3b in accordance with the actual positional relationship between the display device 3b and the one or more display devices other than the display device 3b. If the objects overlap each other, they are displayed shifted so as not to overlap. If the one or more objects representing one or more display devices other than the display device 3b are multiple objects, the first operation support unit 30 may arrange the one or more objects radially with the object 50b representing the display device 3b as the center. The first operation support unit 30 may also arrange the object 50b representing the display device 3b and one or more objects representing one or more display devices other than the display device 3b in a single row or multiple rows. In addition, each of object 50b representing display device 3b and one or more objects representing one or more display devices other than display device 3b may be accompanied by the name of the display device, an identification code of the display device, and / or the display device's location, etc., so that the display device represented by the object can be identified.

[0111] Among the object 50b indicating the display device 3b and one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the display device 3b, the objects indicating display devices of the same type have the same shape, and the objects indicating display devices of different types have different shapes. Specifically, among the object 50b indicating the display device 3b and one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the display device 3b, the objects indicating the display devices 3a to 3g arranged in the vehicle 1 are rectangular display icons and have the same shape. Also, among the object 50b indicating the display device 3b and one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the display device 3b, the objects indicating the display devices 3h and 3i carried by the persons 100a and 100b riding in the vehicle 1 are smartphone icons and have the same shape. The objects indicating the display devices 3a to 3g and the objects indicating the display devices 3h and 3i have different shapes.

[0112] The operation content notifying section 29 notifies the content of the first operation by causing the display device 3b to display a message 52 indicating the content of the first operation.

[0113] It should be noted that a thick line or the like may be displayed around the periphery of the image 60 to indicate that the image 60 is to be output to the second display device.

[0114] As shown in (c) of Fig. 6, the display device 3d is selected as the second display device by swiping along the guide line 51 from the object 50b representing the display device 3b toward the object 50d representing the display device 3d. As a result, as shown in (d) of Fig. 6, the image 60 displayed on the display device 3b is output to and displayed on the display device 3d.

[0115] Note that the swiping finger may be released halfway along the guide line 51. Also, when the swiping finger is returned to the object 50b halfway along the guide line 51 and released, the process may be stopped and the state may return to that shown in FIG. 6(a).

[0116] Next, a second operation example will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 (a) to (c) show a first display device, and Fig. 7 (d) shows the first display device and the second display device, etc. The second operation example differs from the first operation example mainly in the following points.

[0117] As shown in (a) of Fig. 7, a plurality of images 60, 70 are displayed on the display device 3b. When the third operation is performed on the display device 3b, as shown in (b) of Fig. 7, the first operation support unit 30 causes the display device 3b to display an object 50b indicating the display device 3b among the plurality of display devices 3a to 3i, one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the display device 3b, and guide lines 51 extending from the object 50b to each of the one or more objects, thereby supporting the first operation.

[0118] Further, the second operation receiving unit 31 displays the multiple images 60, 70 on the display device 3b and receives the second operation. Here, the multiple images 60, 70 are displayed relatively lightly compared to the object 50b and the like. For example, the second operation is performed with a finger different from the finger that swipes. A thick line is displayed around the periphery of the image selected by the second operation, indicating that it has been selected as an image to be output to the second display device.

[0119] As shown in (c) of Fig. 7, the image 60, 70 to be output is selected from the multiple images 60, 70 by tapping or swiping, and then the display device 3d is selected as the second display device by swiping along the guide line 51 from the object 50b representing the display device 3b toward the object 50d representing the display device 3d. As a result, the images 60, 70 displayed on the display device 3b are output and displayed on the display device 3d, as shown in (d) of Fig. 7. Note that the selection can be cancelled by tapping or swiping the selected image 60, 70 again.

[0120] Next, a third operation example will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 (a) to (c) show the first display device, and Fig. 8 (d) shows the first display device and the second display device, etc. The third operation example differs from the first operation example mainly in the following points.

[0121] As shown in (a) of FIG. 8, a button for accepting a third operation is displayed on the display device 3b. The third operation is performed by touching or long-pressing the button. A button for accepting a third operation may be provided for each type of operation, such as moving, copying, and mirroring. The position at which the button for accepting the third operation is displayed may be fixed or may change depending on the position of the first display device. For example, when the display device arranged to the right of the center in the left-right direction of the vehicle 1 is the first display device, the button may be displayed to the right of the center of the first display device, and when the display device arranged to the left of the center in the left-right direction of the vehicle 1 is the first display device, the button may be displayed to the left of the center of the first display device.

[0122] Next, a fourth operation example will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 (a) to (c) show the first display device, and Fig. 9 (d) shows the first display device and the second display device, etc. The fourth operation example differs from the second operation example mainly in the following points.

[0123] 9(a), a button for accepting a third operation is displayed on the display device 3b. The third operation is performed by touching or pressing and holding the button.

[0124] As shown in (b) of FIG. 9, when the third operation is performed, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives the second operation by displaying a plurality of images 60, 70. Here, the second operation is received before the object 50b etc. are displayed. After an image to be output to the second display device is selected from the plurality of images 60, 70 by tapping or swiping, the second operation is ended when the icon 53 is tapped.

[0125] As shown in FIG. 9(c), when the icon 53 is tapped, the first operation support unit 30 displays an object 50b or the like to support the first operation.

[0126] Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram showing another example of the support for the first operation in the first to fourth operation examples. Next, with reference to Fig. 10, another example of the support for the first operation in the first to fourth operation examples will be described.

[0127] As shown in FIG. 10, in addition to the guide lines 51, an icon 54 encouraging a swipe may be displayed.

[0128] Figures 11 and 12 are explanatory diagrams for explaining fifth and sixth operation examples of the display control device 10 in Figure 1. Next, the fifth and sixth operation examples of the display control device 10 will be described with reference to Figures 11 and 12.

[0129] First, the fifth operation example will be described with reference to Fig. 11. Fig. 11 (a) to (c) show the first display device, and Fig. 11 (d) shows the first display device and the second display device, etc. The fifth operation example differs from the first operation example mainly in the following points.

[0130] As shown in (a) of FIG. 11, an image 80 is displayed on the display device 3i. When the third operation is performed on the display device 3i, as shown in (b) of FIG. 11, the first operation support unit 30 displays an interface 55 to support the first operation. The interface 55 includes a central region 56 and one or more regions 57 arranged around the central region 56. The one or more regions 57 are arranged in a circular ring shape with the central region 56 as the center. The one or more regions 57 may be arranged in a rectangular shape with the central region 56 as the center. In each of the one or more regions 57, one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the display device 3i among the multiple display devices 3a to 3i are arranged. For example, the first operation support unit 30 displays the interface 55 on the display device 3i so that the central region 56 is located at a location touched by the finger that performed the third operation or at an arbitrary location.

[0131] The operation content notifying section 29 notifies the content of the first operation by causing the display device 3i to display a message 58 indicating the content of the first operation.

[0132] As shown in (c) of Fig. 11, the display device 3h is selected as the second display device by flicking from the central region 56 in the interface 55 toward the region 57 in which the object 50h representing the display device 3h is located. As a result, as shown in (d) of Fig. 11, the image 80 displayed on the display device 3i is output to and displayed on the display device 3h.

[0133] When the finger is removed from the central area 56, the process may be stopped and the state may return to that shown in FIG.

[0134] Next, a sixth operation example will be described with reference to Fig. 12. Fig. 12 (a) to (c) show the first display device, and Fig. 12 (d) shows the first display device and the second display device, etc. The sixth operation example differs from the fifth operation example mainly in the following points.

[0135] As shown in (a) of Fig. 12, a plurality of images 70, 80 are displayed on the display device 3i. When the third operation is performed on the display device 3i, as shown in (b) of Fig. 12, the first operation support unit 30 displays an interface 55 to support the first operation.

[0136] The second operation receiving unit 31 also displays a plurality of images 70, 80 on the display device 3i behind the interface 55 and receives the second operation. For example, the second operation is performed with a finger different from the finger performing the flick. A thick line is displayed around the edge of the image selected by the second operation, indicating that the image has been selected as the image to be output to the second display device.

[0137] As shown in (c) of Fig. 12, the image 70, 80 to be output is selected from the multiple images 70, 80 by tapping or swiping, and then the display device 3h is selected as the second display device by flicking from the central region 56 toward the region 57. As a result, the images 70, 80 displayed on the display device 3i are output and displayed on the display device 3h, as shown in (d) of Fig. 12. Note that the interface 55 may be displayed after the second operation is completed.

[0138] Figures 13 to 16 are explanatory diagrams for explaining seventh to tenth operation examples of the display control device 10 in Figure 1. Next, the seventh to tenth operation examples of the display control device 10 will be described with reference to Figures 13 to 16.

[0139] First, the seventh operation example will be described with reference to Fig. 13. Fig. 13 (a) to (c) show the first display device, and Fig. 13 (d) shows the first display device and the second display device, etc. The seventh operation example differs from the first operation example mainly in the following points.

[0140] As shown in (a) of Fig. 13, an image 60 is displayed on the display device 3b. When a third operation is performed on the display device 3b, as shown in (b) of Fig. 13, the first operation support unit 30 displays, on the display device 3b, an object 50b indicating the display device 3b among the multiple display devices 3a to 3i, one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the display device 3b, and an object 61 indicating the image 60, thereby supporting the first operation. For example, the object 61 is a thumbnail of the image 60, but may be another icon or the like.

[0141] As shown in Fig. 13(c), object 61 is arranged so as to overlap object 50b, so that display device 3d is selected as the second display device by dragging object 61 and moving it to object 50d representing display device 3d and dropping it there. As a result, image 60 displayed on display device 3b is output to and displayed on display device 3d, as shown in Fig. 13(d).

[0142] It should be noted that if the object 61 is dropped at a position where it overlaps with the object 50b, the process may be stopped and the state may return to that shown in FIG.

[0143] Next, an eighth operation example will be described with reference to Fig. 14. Fig. 14 (a) to (c) show the first display device, and Fig. 14 (d) shows the first display device and the second display device, etc. The eighth operation example differs from the seventh operation example mainly in the following points.

[0144] As shown in (a) of Fig. 14, a plurality of images 60, 70 are displayed on the display device 3b. When the third operation is performed on the display device 3b, as shown in (b) of Fig. 14, the first operation support unit 30 displays, on the display device 3b, an object 50b indicating the display device 3b, one or more objects indicating one or more display devices other than the display device 3b, and an object 61 indicating the image 60, among the plurality of display devices 3a to 3i, to support the first operation, as shown in (b) of Fig. 14. Note that, when the third operation is performed in an area where the image 70 is displayed, the object 71 indicating the image 70 may be displayed instead of the object 61 indicating the image 60.

[0145] Moreover, the second operation accepting unit 31 accepts the second operation by displaying the plurality of images 60, 70 on the display device 3b. Here, the plurality of images 60, 70 are displayed relatively lightly compared to the object 50b and the like.

[0146] When object 61 is dragged and moved onto image 70, object 71 representing image 70 is displayed, and image 70 is selected as the image to be output to the second display device, as shown in Fig. 14(c). By dragging objects 61, 71 and moving them to object 50d representing display device 3d and dropping them, display device 3d is selected as the second display device. As a result, images 60, 70 displayed on display device 3b are output and displayed on display device 3d, as shown in Fig. 14(d).

[0147] Next, a ninth operation example will be described with reference to Fig. 15. Fig. 15 (a) to (c) show the first display device, and Fig. 15 (d) shows the first display device and the second display device, etc. The ninth operation example differs from the seventh operation example mainly in the following points.

[0148] 15(a), a button for accepting a third operation is displayed on the display device 3b. The third operation is performed by touching or pressing and holding the button.

[0149] Next, a tenth operation example will be described with reference to Fig. 16. Fig. 16 (a) to (c) show the first display device, and Fig. 16 (d) shows the first display device and the second display device, etc. The tenth operation example differs from the eighth operation example mainly in the following points.

[0150] As shown in (a) of Fig. 16, a button for accepting a third operation is displayed on the display device 3b. The third operation is performed by touching or pressing and holding the button.

[0151] As shown in (b) of FIG. 16, when the third operation is performed, the second operation receiving unit 31 receives the second operation by displaying a plurality of images 60, 70. Here, the second operation is received before the object 50b etc. are displayed. After an image to be output to the second display device is selected from the plurality of images 60, 70 by tapping or swiping, the second operation is ended when the icon 53 is tapped.

[0152] As shown in FIG. 16(c), when the icon 53 is tapped, the first operation support unit 30 displays an object 50b or the like to support the first operation.

[0153] Figures 17 to 18 are explanatory diagrams for explaining eleventh and twelfth operation examples of the display control device 10 in Figure 1. Next, the eleventh and twelfth operation examples of the display control device 10 will be described with reference to Figures 17 to 18.
