DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The following description of the preferred embodiments will be given in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings used in the following description, the scale of each illustrated element is appropriately changed so that it can be recognized.

[0011] FIG. 1 illustrates a vehicle 20 equipped with a display control system 10 according to an embodiment. The vehicle 20 is an example of a moving body. A plurality of seats are installed in a passenger compartment 21 of the vehicle 20. The plurality of seats include a driver's seat 22 and a passenger seat 23. The driver's seat 22 is a seat in which the driver of the vehicle 20 sits. The passenger seat 23 is a seat in which a passenger sits. The driver is an example of a first occupant. The passenger is an example of a second occupant.

[0012] 2 illustrates an example of the functional configuration of a display control system 10 according to an embodiment. The display control system 10 includes a first display device 11 and a display control device 13.

[0013] 1, the first display device 11 is installed in the passenger compartment 21. The first display device 11 has a screen capable of displaying content including images. Specifically, the first display device 11 is placed in a position where the content can be viewed by both the driver seated in the driver's seat 22 and the passenger seated in the passenger seat 23.

[0014] 2, the display control device 13 includes an input interface 131. The input interface 131 is configured as a hardware interface that receives first image data D1 from a first mobile device 31. The first mobile device 31 is a mobile device carried by the driver of the vehicle 20. The first mobile device 31 includes a screen that can display first content C1 including an image. The first image data D1 corresponds to the first content C1.

[0015] The first image data D1 may be in the form of analog data or digital data depending on the specifications of the first mobile device 31. When the first image data D1 is in the form of analog data, the input interface 131 is provided with an appropriate conversion circuit including an A / D converter. This description also applies to other data and signals that can be accepted by the input interface 131, which will be described later.

[0016] The display control device 13 includes a processor 132 and an output interface 133. The processor 132 is configured to output, from the output interface 133, a first display control signal DC1 that causes the first content C1 to be displayed on the screen of the first display device 11. The first display control signal DC1 may be an analog signal or a digital signal depending on the specifications of the first display device 11.

[0017] The output interface 133 is configured as a hardware interface capable of outputting the first display control signal DC1. If the first display control signal DC1 is in the form of an analog signal, the output interface 133 includes an appropriate conversion circuit including a D / A converter. This description also applies to other signals that can be output by the output interface 133, which will be described later.

[0018] That is, the display control device 13 is configured to mirror the first content C1 displayed on the screen of the first mobile device 31 onto the screen of the first display device 11.

[0019] Additionally, the input interface 131 is configured to be able to receive second image data D2 from the second mobile device 32. The second mobile device 32 is a mobile device carried by a passenger of the vehicle 20. The second mobile device 32 has a screen capable of displaying second content C2 including an image. The second image data D2 corresponds to the second content C2. The second image data D2 may be in the form of analog data or digital data depending on the specifications of the second mobile device 32.

[0020] The processor 132 can change the first display control signal DC1 output from the output interface 133 so as to display the second content C2 on the screen of the first display device 11. In other words, the display control device 13 is configured to be able to mirror the second content C2 displayed on the screen of the second mobile device 32 to the screen of the first display device 11.

[0021] The display control system 10 includes a user interface 14. The user interface 14 is configured to receive an instruction from the driver of the vehicle 20 requesting mirroring of the second content C2 on the first display device 11. The user interface 14 is configured to output a first request signal RQ1 corresponding to the instruction. The first request signal RQ1 may be an analog signal or a digital signal depending on the specifications of the user interface 14.

[0022] The input interface 131 of the display control device 13 is configured to be able to accept a first request signal RQ1 as well. The processor 132 is configured to output, from the output interface 133, a first confirmation signal CF1 that causes an inquiry to be displayed on the screen of the first display device 11 or the screen of the second mobile device 32, confirming whether or not the instruction is acceptable, based on the first request signal RQ1.

[0023] A passenger of the vehicle 20 carrying the second mobile device 32 can input a response to the inquiry related to the first request signal RQ1 through a user interface (not shown). The second mobile device 32 can be configured to output a first response signal RP1 corresponding to the response.

[0024] When an inquiry related to the first request signal RQ1 is displayed on the screen of the first display device 11, a response to the inquiry can be input through a user interface (not shown) provided by the first display device 11. In this case, the first display device 11 is configured to output a first response signal RP1.

[0025] The input interface 131 of the display control device 13 is configured to be able to also accept the first response signal RP1. When the first response signal RP1 indicates acceptance of the mirroring request, the processor 132 is configured to output, from the output interface 133, a first display control signal DC1 that causes the second content C2 to be displayed on the screen of the first display device 11.

[0026] It should be noted that the first content C1 does not necessarily have to be displayed on the screen of the first display device 11 when mirroring of the second content C2 starts.

[0027] An example of the flow of processing executed by the display control device 13 configured as above will be described with reference to FIG.

[0028] When first image data D1 corresponding to first content C1 displayed on the screen of a first mobile device 31 carried by a driver seated in the driver's seat 22 of a vehicle 20 is received by the input interface 131, the processor 132 outputs a first display control signal DC1 from the output interface 133 to display the first content C1 on the screen of the first display device 11 (STEP 11).

[0029] 4, the first content C1 displayed on the screen of the first mobile device 31 is mirrored to the screen of the first display device 11. However, as described above, this process may be omitted.

[0030] Next, the processor 132 determines whether a first request signal RQ1 corresponding to an instruction to request mirroring of the second content C2 on the first display device 11 has been received by the input interface 131 (STEP 12 in FIG. 3). This process is repeated until it is determined that the first request signal RQ1 has been received by the input interface 131 (NO in STEP 12).

[0031] When it is determined that the first request signal RQ1 has been accepted by the input interface 131 (YES in STEP 12), the processor 132 outputs a first confirmation signal CF1 from the output interface 133 to display an inquiry confirming whether or not the instruction should be accepted on the screen of the second mobile device 32 carried by the passenger sitting in the passenger seat 23 of the vehicle 20 or on the screen of the first display device 11 (STEP 13).

[0032] The passenger inputs a response to the inquiry through a user interface provided by the second mobile device 32 or the first display device 11. The second mobile device 32 or the first display device 11 outputs a first response signal RP1 corresponding to the response. The first response signal RP1 is received by the input interface 131.

[0033] Next, processor 132 determines whether the mirroring request has been accepted (STEP 14) based on the first response signal RP1 received by input interface 131. If it is determined that the mirroring request has been rejected (NO in STEP 14), processor 132 returns the process to STEP 12.

[0034] If it is determined that the mirroring request is accepted (YES in STEP 14), the processor 132 allows the input interface 131 to receive second image data D2 corresponding to the second content C2 transmitted from the second mobile device 32. Furthermore, the processor 132 outputs a first display control signal DC1, which causes the second content C2 to be displayed on the screen of the first display device 11, from the output interface 133 based on the second image data D2 (STEP 15).

[0035] 5, the second content C2 displayed on the screen of the second mobile device 32 is mirrored onto the screen of the first display device 11. Then, the processing ends.

[0036] According to the above configuration, based on an instruction from the driver of the vehicle 20, the second content C2 displayed on the screen of the second mobile device 32 carried by a passenger of the vehicle 20 can be displayed on the screen of the first display device 11, instead of the first content C1 displayed on the screen of the first mobile device 31 carried by the driver. The passenger is given an opportunity to confirm whether or not to accept the instruction before the second content C2 displayed on the second mobile device 32 carried by the passenger is displayed on the first display device 11, thereby ensuring privacy regarding the second content C2. This improves the convenience of the display control system 10, which can display content displayed on the respective screens of multiple mobile devices carried by multiple passengers on the common first display device 11.

[0037] 2, the user interface 14 may be configured to output a second request signal RQ2 requesting an operation on the second content C2 displayed on the screen of the first display device 11. Examples of operations on the second content C2 include operations such as playing, stopping, fast-forwarding, and rewinding video content, and operations on a map application. The second request signal RQ2 may be an analog signal or a digital signal depending on the specifications of the user interface 14.

[0038] In this case, the input interface 131 of the display control device 13 is configured to be able to also accept the second request signal RQ2. The processor 132 is configured to output, from the output interface 133, a second confirmation signal CF2 that causes an inquiry to be displayed on the screen of the first display device 11 or the screen of the second mobile device 32, confirming whether or not the instruction is accepted, based on the second request signal RQ2.

[0039] A passenger of the vehicle 20 carrying the second mobile device 32 can input a response to the inquiry regarding the second request signal RQ2 through a user interface (not shown). The second mobile device 32 is configured to output a second response signal RP2 corresponding to the response.

[0040] When an inquiry related to the second request signal RQ2 is displayed on the screen of the first display device 11, a response to the inquiry can be input through a user interface (not shown) provided by the first display device 11. In this case, the first display device 11 is configured to output a second response signal RP2.

[0041] The input interface 131 of the display control device 13 is configured to be able to also accept a second response signal RP2. When the second response signal RP2 indicates acceptance of the operation request, the processor 132 is configured to output, from the output interface 133, a first display control signal DC1 that applies the requested operation to the second content C2 displayed on the screen of the first display device 11.

[0042] 3 (STEP 15), the processor 132 determines whether a second request signal RQ2 corresponding to an operation request for the second content C2 has been received by the input interface 131 (STEP 16). This process is repeated until it is determined that the second request signal RQ2 has been received by the input interface 131 (NO in STEP 16).

[0043] When it is determined that the second request signal RQ2 has been accepted by the input interface 131 (YES in STEP 16), the processor 132 outputs a second confirmation signal CF2 from the output interface 133, which causes an inquiry to be displayed on the screen of the second mobile device 32 or the screen of the first display device 11 to confirm whether or not the instruction has been accepted (STEP 17).

[0044] The passenger sitting in the passenger seat 23 inputs a response to the inquiry through a user interface provided by the second mobile device 32 or the first display device 11. The second mobile device 32 or the first display device 11 outputs a second response signal RP2 corresponding to the response. The second response signal RP2 is received by the input interface 131.

[0045] Next, processor 132 determines whether the operation request has been accepted (STEP 18) based on second response signal RP2 received by input interface 131. If it is determined that the operation request has been rejected (NO in STEP 18), processor 132 returns the process to STEP 16.

[0046] If it is determined that the operation request has been accepted (YES in STEP 18), the processor 132 outputs a first display control signal DC1, which applies the requested operation to the second content C2 displayed on the screen of the first display device 11, from the output interface 133 (STEP 19). Then, the process ends.

[0047] According to this configuration, it is possible to ensure privacy in multiple stages, such that the second content C2 displayed on the screen of the second mobile device 32 carried by the passenger is allowed to be displayed on the first display device 11, but the operation of the second content C2 is not allowed. On the other hand, since the authority to operate the second content C2 can be transferred from the passenger to the driver, the manner in which the second content C2 is used can be diversified.

[0048] 2, the display control system 10 may include a second display device 12. As illustrated in Fig. 1, the second display device 12 is installed closer to a passenger seat 23 than to a driver's seat 22 in a passenger compartment 21. The second display device 12 has a screen capable of displaying content including images.

[0049] In this case, the processor 132 of the display control device 13 is configured to output, from the output interface 133, a second display control signal DC2 that causes the first content C1 displayed on the screen of the first mobile device 31 or the second content C2 displayed on the screen of the second mobile device 32 to be displayed on the screen of the second display device 12. The second display control signal DC2 may be an analog signal or a digital signal depending on the specifications of the second display device 12.

[0050] Additionally, the processor 132 may cause the second display device 12 to display a query to confirm whether or not to accept the request, based on a first request signal RQ1 related to a request to mirror the second content C2 on the first display device 11. That is, the processor 132 may output a first confirmation signal CF1 from the output interface 133 to the second display device 12.

[0051] The passenger seated in the passenger seat 23 can input a response to the inquiry through a user interface (not shown) provided by the second display device 12. That is, the second display device 12 can be configured to be able to output a first response signal RP1 corresponding to the response.

[0052] According to this configuration, the passenger can confirm and respond to an inquiry regarding a mirroring request for the second content C2 through the second display device 12, which is installed closer to the passenger seat 23 than the driver's seat 22. In particular, when the second content C2 is being mirrored on the screen of the second display device 12, a seamless operation feeling without touching the second mobile device 32 can be provided.

[0053] Similarly, the processor 132 can cause the second display device 12 to display an inquiry confirming whether or not to accept a second request signal RQ2 related to an operation request for the second content C2 displayed on the first display device 11. That is, the processor 132 can output a second confirmation signal CF2 from the output interface 133 to the second display device 12.

[0054] The passenger seated in the passenger seat 23 can input a response to the inquiry through a user interface (not shown) provided by the second display device 12. That is, the second display device 12 can be configured to be able to output a second response signal RP2 corresponding to the response.

[0055] According to this configuration, the passenger can confirm and respond to inquiries related to operation requests for the second content C2 through the second display device 12, which is installed closer to the passenger seat 23 than the driver's seat 22. In particular, in a situation where the second content C2 is mirrored on the screen of the second display device 12, a seamless operation feeling without touching the second mobile device 32 can be provided.

[0056] FIG. 6 shows another example of the flow of processing executed by the processor 132 of the display control device 13.

[0057] The processor 132 is configured to determine the locations of the first mobile device 31 and the second mobile device 32 (STEP 21).

[0058] For example, the locations of the first mobile device 31 and the second mobile device 32 may be determined using a radio positioning technology, such as a technology that uses a global positioning system (GPS), an ultra wide band (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), or a radio frequency identification (RFID).

[0059] The association of the information for identifying each mobile device with the location information may be performed by the processor 132 after the information is received by the input interface 131, or may be performed by a processing device provided outside the processor 132. In the latter case, a set of the identification information and location information of the mobile device is received by the input interface 131.

[0060] As another example, by obtaining identification information from a mobile device that is wired to either a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port provided near the driver's seat 22 or a USB port provided near the passenger seat 23, it is possible to recognize whether the mobile device is located near the driver's seat 22 or the passenger seat 23.

[0061] Next, processor 132 associates each identified mobile device with a display device based on its location (STEP 22). Specifically, it enables mirroring of content displayed on the screen of the mobile device identified as being located closest to first display device 11 onto the screen of first display device 11. Similarly, it enables mirroring of content displayed on the screen of the mobile device identified as being located closest to second display device 12 onto the screen of second display device 12.

[0062] With this configuration, a state in which content displayed on the screen of each mobile device can be mirrored on the screen of the display device located closest to the mobile device can be automatically set. Since a passenger carrying the mobile device is likely to be seated in a seat located near the display device associated with the mobile device, an environment in which the passenger can easily view the mirrored content can be automatically set.

[0063] 7 illustrates an image 40 showing the result of associating the mobile devices and the display devices as described above. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the processor 132 may be configured to output, from the output interface 133, a third confirmation signal CF3 that causes the image 40 to be displayed on at least one of the screens of the first display device 11, the second display device 12, the first mobile device 31, and the second mobile device 32.

[0064] 7, a mobile device identified by identification information "Phone1" (e.g., first mobile device 31) is associated with a display device identified by "Screen 1" (e.g., first display device 11). Similarly, a mobile device identified by identification information "Phone2" (e.g., second mobile device 32) is associated with a display device identified by "Screen 2" (e.g., second display device 12).

[0065] In this example, another mobile device identified by identification information "Phone3" is detected and located in room 21. This mobile device is located relatively far from first display device 11 and second display device 12, and is therefore not associated with either display device. Therefore, it is set to a "not connected" state.

[0066] The driver or passenger of the vehicle 20 accepts or changes the association indicated by the image through a user interface (not shown) provided by any of the first display device 11, the second display device 12, the first mobile device 31, and the second mobile device 32.

[0067] For example, if the user wishes to mirror the content displayed on the screen of the first mobile device 31 to both the screen of the first display device 11 and the screen of the second display device 12, the "Screen 2" button located to the right of "Phone 1" is selected. Since multiple mobile devices cannot be associated with the same display device, the selection state of "Screen 2" located to the right of "Phone 2" is automatically deselected. After this operation, the "OK" button is selected to confirm the setting change. If the user wishes to accept the association initially presented, the user simply selects the "OK" button.

[0068] The first display device 11, the second display device 12, the first mobile device 31, or the second mobile device 32 outputs a third response signal RP3 corresponding to the confirmation result. The third response signal RP3 is received by the input interface 131 of the display control device 13.

[0069] As illustrated in FIG. 6, the processor 132 determines whether the third response signal RP3 received by the input interface 131 includes an instruction to change the settings (STEP 23).

[0070] If it is determined that the third response signal RP3 includes an instruction to change the setting (YES in STEP 23), the processor 132 changes the association between the mobile device and the display device based on the instruction (STEP 24), and then the process ends.

[0071] If it is determined that the third response signal RP3 does not include an instruction to change the settings (NO in STEP 23), processor 132 ends the process.

[0072] This configuration provides an opportunity for the occupants of the vehicle 20 to confirm or change the automatically established mirroring combination of the mobile device and the display device based on the expected convenience, thereby establishing a mirroring environment that is appropriate for multiple occupants.

[0073] As illustrated in Fig. 2, the vehicle 20 is equipped with a steering device 24. The steering device 24 is a device for causing the vehicle 20 to perform an operation (steering operation) to change the direction of travel. As illustrated in Figs. 2, 4, and 5, the user interface 14 may be provided in the steering device 24.

[0074] Therefore, an instruction to request mirroring of the second content C2 displayed on the second mobile device 32 to the screen of the first display device 11, and an instruction to request operation on the second content C2 displayed on the screen of the first display device 11 can be made through the steering device 24.

[0075] According to this configuration, various instructions given by the driver can be input with the minimum necessary movements. However, the location of the user interface 14 in the passenger compartment 21 can be determined appropriately.

[0076] The processor 132 of the display control device 13, which has the various functions described above, can be realized by at least one dedicated integrated circuit having a storage element in which a computer program for realizing the functions is pre-installed. Examples of the dedicated integrated circuit include a microcontroller, an ASIC, and an FPGA. The storage element is an example of a non-transitory computer-readable medium on which a computer program is stored.

[0077] The processor 132 may be realized by at least one general-purpose microprocessor operating in cooperation with at least one general-purpose memory. Examples of a general-purpose microprocessor include a CPU, an MPU, and a GPU. Examples of a general-purpose memory include a ROM and a RAM. In this case, a computer program for implementing the relevant functions may be stored in the ROM. The general-purpose memory is an example of a non-transitory computer-readable medium on which a computer program is stored. The general-purpose microprocessor specifies at least a portion of the program stored in the ROM, expands it in the RAM, and executes the above-described processing in cooperation with the RAM. The processor 132 may be realized by a combination of a dedicated integrated circuit and a general-purpose microprocessor.

[0078] The configurations referred to above are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the present disclosure. Each configuration example can be appropriately modified or combined with other configuration examples within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0079] In the above embodiment, the expression "displaying the first content displayed on the screen of the first mobile device on the screen of the first display device" describes a situation in which the first content C1 initially belongs to the first mobile device 31.
