Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, the display position of the options displayed on the display unit does not correspond to the position of the switch unit. For this reason, when an operation unit is provided in addition to the switch unit, the position of the operation unit for selecting the options is difficult to understand.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to obtain a vehicle information display system that can select options displayed on a display unit by operating an operation unit, and can select the options without much effort.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The vehicle information display system according to claim 1 comprises: an operating unit provided on one side in the vehicle width direction relative to the driver's seat and configured to be operable by the occupant; and a display unit provided in a position visible from the driver's seat and configured to display a selection display area where the occupant can select options by operating the operating unit, wherein the selection display area is set on one side in the vehicle width direction, and the area where the vehicle's planned operation is displayed is set not to overlap with the selection display area in the vehicle width direction.

[0007] In the vehicle information display system according to claim 1, an operating unit is provided on one side in the vehicle width direction relative to the driver's seat, and this operating unit is configured to be operable by the occupant. The display unit is located in a position visible from the driver's seat, and a selection display area is set up where options that can be selected by the occupant operating the operating unit are displayed. As a result, when options are displayed in the selection display area, the occupant can intuitively select an option by operating the operating unit located in the same direction as the selection display area. For example, if the selection display area is set on the left side of the vehicle relative to the surrounding information display area, the occupant can select an option by operating the operating unit located on the left side. Conversely, if the selection display area is set on the right side of the vehicle relative to the surrounding information display area, the occupant can select an option by operating the operating unit located on the right side. Furthermore, since the area where the vehicle's planned movements are displayed is set up so as not to overlap with the vehicle width direction position of the selection display area, the vehicle's planned movements can be easily grasped. Note that "one side in the vehicle width direction relative to the driver's seat" here refers to a direction offset to one side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the center of the driver's seat in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, the configuration is not limited to one in which the controls are located on the armrest or center console positioned to the side of the driver's seat cushion, but broadly includes configurations in which the controls are located on the instrument panel in front of the driver's seat. Furthermore, if the center of the driver's seat in the vehicle width direction coincides with the center of the steering wheel in the vehicle width direction, the configuration also includes one in which the controls are located on one side in the vehicle width direction from the center of the steering wheel when it is not being operated.

[0008] The vehicle information display system according to claim 2 is installed in a vehicle capable of switching between autonomous driving and manual driving according to claim 1, and the selection display area displays suggestions regarding the vehicle's operation in a selectable state when autonomous driving is in operation.

[0009] In the vehicle information display system according to claim 2, when driving autonomously, suggestions regarding the vehicle's operation are displayed in the selection display area, so that even if the suggestions are displayed while the occupant has taken their hands off the steering wheel and is relaxed, they can select an option without making a mistake. Herein, "autonomous driving" is not limited to a driving mode in which the vehicle is driven without the occupant performing any operations, including steering and acceleration / deceleration, but also includes a driving mode in which the occupant performs predetermined operations to maintain the operation of the driver assistance functions. In other words, "autonomous driving" is a broad concept that includes driving modes in which the occupant holds the steering wheel to maintain the operation of the driver assistance functions, and driving modes in which the occupant presses the accelerator pedal to maintain the operation of the driver assistance functions.

[0010] The vehicle information display system according to claim 3, in claim 1, comprises a display unit comprising a first display unit and a second display unit separate from the first display unit, wherein the scheduled operation is displayed on both the first display unit and the second display unit.

[0011] In the vehicle information display system according to claim 3, the occupant can confirm the scheduled operation regardless of whether they look at the first display unit or the second display unit.

[0012] The vehicle information display system according to claim 4, in claim 3, wherein the first display unit displays a portion of the scheduled operation displayed on the second display unit.

[0013] In the vehicle information display system according to claim 4, the occupant can confirm the entire planned operation by looking at the second display, and can confirm only a part of the planned operation by looking at the first display. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] As described above, in the vehicle information display system according to the present invention, the system is configured such that the user can select an option displayed on the display unit by operating the control unit, and the user can select an option without any effort. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 5] This figure shows other examples of the display screen during autonomous driving, with (A) showing an example of the display of the first display unit and (B) showing an example of the display of the second display unit. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0016] A vehicle 12 to which the vehicle display system 10 according to this embodiment is applied will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that, as an example, the vehicle 12 in this embodiment is configured to allow switching between automatic and manual driving.

[0017] As shown in Figure 1, an instrument panel 14 is provided at the front of the passenger compartment of the vehicle 12. The instrument panel 14 extends in the vehicle width direction, and a steering wheel 16 is provided on the right side of the instrument panel 14. In other words, in this embodiment, as an example, it is a right-hand drive vehicle with the steering wheel 16 on the right side, and the driver's seat is set on the right side of the vehicle.

[0018] A windshield glass 18 is provided at the front end of the instrument panel 14. The windshield glass 18 extends in the vehicle vertical direction and the vehicle width direction and partitions the interior of the passenger compartment from the exterior of the passenger compartment.

[0019] The right end of the windshield glass 18 in the vehicle is fixed to the front pillar 20 on the right side of the vehicle. The front pillar 20 extends in the vehicle vertical direction, and the windshield glass 18 is fixed to the inner end in the vehicle width direction of the front pillar 20. Also, the front end of the front side glass 22 is fixed to the outer end in the vehicle width direction of the front pillar 20. Incidentally, the left end of the windshield glass 18 in the vehicle is fixed to a front pillar on the left side of the vehicle not shown.

[0020] Here, a first display portion 24 is provided on the windshield glass 18. The first display portion 24 is constituted by a projection surface projected by a head-up display device 23 shown in FIG. 2. Specifically, the head-up display device 23 is provided on the vehicle front side of the instrument panel 14, and is configured such that an image is projected from the head-up display device 23 toward the first display portion 24 of the windshield glass 18.

[0021] A second display portion 26 is provided on the vehicle lower side of the first display portion 24. The second display portion 26 is a display portion displayed on the meter 25, and the meter 25 is located in front of the driver's seat in the instrument panel 14. Therefore, the first display portion 24 and the second display portion 26 are provided at positions visible to the driver.

[0022] (Hardware Configuration of the Vehicle Information Display System 10) As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle information display system 10 of the present embodiment includes an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 28.

[0023] The ECU28 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit: processor) 30, ROM (Read Only Memory) 32, RAM (Random Access Memory) 34, storage 36, and input / output. It is configured to include interface 38. Each configuration is connected to each other so that they can communicate with one another via internal bus 39.

[0024] The CPU 30 is a central processing unit that executes various programs and controls various components. Specifically, the CPU 30 reads programs from the ROM 32 or storage 36 and executes them using the RAM 34 as a working area. The CPU 30 also controls the above-mentioned components and performs various calculations according to the programs recorded in the ROM 32 or storage 36.

[0025] ROM 32 stores various programs and data. RAM 34 temporarily stores programs or data as a working area. Storage 36 is a non-temporary recording medium consisting of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or SSD (Solid State Drive) that stores various programs, including the operating system, and various data. In this embodiment, ROM 32 or storage 36 stores display programs and the like for display processing. Various input / output devices are connected to the input / output interface 38.

[0026] Here, ECU28 is electrically connected to the autonomous driving ECU40. The autonomous driving ECU40, like ECU28, is composed of a CPU, ROM, RAM, storage, and input / output interfaces, etc. (not shown).

[0027] The autonomous driving ECU 40 is connected to a sensor group 42 that detects the current status of the vehicle and an actuator group 44 that controls the vehicle's movement. The sensor group 42 includes multiple sensors from among various types of sensors, such as cameras, radar, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging or Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging), and GPS (global positioning system) sensors. The cameras capture images of the area around the vehicle. The radar detects the distance and direction to objects around the vehicle using radio waves. The LiDAR detects the distance and direction to objects around the vehicle using laser light. The GPS sensor detects the vehicle's current position. In addition, the sensor group 42 is configured to include sensors that detect the state of the occupants. For example, the sensor group 42 may be configured to include biosensors that detect the occupants' heart rate and level of alertness.

[0028] The actuator group 44 includes acceleration / deceleration actuators that adjust the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration, and steering actuators that drive the vehicle's steering system. The autonomous driving ECU 40 controls the operation of the actuator group 44 according to the current status of the vehicle detected by the sensor group 42, thereby enabling autonomous driving of the vehicle. The memory unit of the autonomous driving ECU 40 stores a planned route representing the path the vehicle is scheduled to travel, and the autonomous driving ECU 40 drives the vehicle along the planned route stored in the memory unit.

[0029] The ECU 28 is connected to the meter 25, HUD 23, and steering wheel switches 46, which serve as the control unit. As shown in Figure 1, the steering wheel switches 46 are located to the left of the center of the steering wheel 16 (one side in the vehicle width direction) in the initial position of the steering wheel 16. In this embodiment, as an example, the center of the driver's seat in the vehicle width direction coincides with the center of the steering wheel 16 in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, the steering wheel switches 46 are located to the left of the center of the driver's seat in the vehicle width direction.

[0030] The steering wheel switch 46 of this embodiment is configured to include a confirmation button 46A and a selection button 46B that can be operated by the occupant. The confirmation button 46A is located in the center of the steering wheel switch 46. When the occupant presses the confirmation button 46A, the options displayed on the first display unit 24 and the second display unit 26 are selected. The selection button 46B is formed in a roughly frame-like shape so as to surround the confirmation button 46A. When the occupant presses the up, down, left, or right of the selection button 46B, the options displayed on the first display unit 24 and the second display unit 26 are changed.

[0031] Furthermore, switches (not shown) are provided on the right side of the steering wheel 16, above the center. These switches can be operated by the occupants to activate or deactivate a predetermined driving assistance function corresponding to the switch.

[0032] (Display screen during manual operation) Next, with reference to Figure 3, an example of the display screens of the first display unit 24 and the second display unit 26 during manual operation will be described.

[0033] As shown in Figure 3(A), during manual driving, the central part of the first display unit 24 displays information about the vehicle 12's surroundings. Specifically, it shows a preceding vehicle mark M1 that mimics a preceding vehicle, and the lane boundary lines on both sides of the lane in which the vehicle 12 is traveling. The distance to the preceding vehicle is calculated based on information from the sensor group 42, and the size of the preceding vehicle mark M1 changes according to the distance to the preceding vehicle. Furthermore, if the distance to the preceding vehicle is greater than a predetermined distance, the preceding vehicle mark M1 is not displayed.

[0034] In Figure 3(A), the roughly arc-shaped mark M2 indicates that the automatic cruise control function, an example of driver assistance, is activated. Here, the vehicle speed is controlled so that the distance to the preceding vehicle remains constant. Furthermore, the arrow-shaped mark M3 in Figure 3(A) indicates that the overtaking function, another example of driver assistance, is activated.

[0035] On the left side of the first display unit 24, an icon related to the speed limit and the current speed of the vehicle 12 are displayed. On the right side of the first display unit 24, information from the navigation system is displayed. Here, as an example, an instruction to turn left 300m ahead from the current location is shown.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3(B), during manual driving, the central part of the second display unit 26 displays information about the vehicle 12's surroundings, engine speed, and vehicle speed. In addition, information regarding cruise control and overtaking functions is displayed, similar to Figure 3(A).

[0037] The left side of the second display unit 26 shows information regarding the outside temperature. The right side of the second display unit 26 shows the current time and information regarding the distance until autonomous driving becomes possible. In this example, it shows that autonomous driving will be available 7 km from the current location.

[0038] (Display screen during autonomous driving) Next, with reference to Figures 4 and 5, an example of the second display unit 26 and its display screen during autonomous driving will be described.

[0039] As shown in Figure 4(A), during autonomous driving, a surrounding information display area 50A is set in the center of the first display unit 24, where information about the vehicle's surroundings is displayed. A preceding vehicle mark M1, which mimics a preceding vehicle, is displayed in this surrounding information display area 50A. In addition, the lane boundary lines on both sides of the lane in which the vehicle 12 is traveling are shown in the surrounding information display area 50A.

[0040] Here, a protrusion C is displayed at the bottom of the surrounding information display area 50A, so as to be convex upwards, and this protrusion C corresponds to the position of the front end of the vehicle 12. In other words, the first display unit 24 displays surrounding information of the vehicle 12 from a first-person perspective.

[0041] Furthermore, the surrounding information display area 50A displays a direction indicator mark M4 that constantly shows the direction of travel of the vehicle 12. The direction indicator mark M4 extends in a roughly strip-like shape from the protrusion C toward the preceding vehicle mark M1 of the preceding vehicle. Although not shown in the diagram, when the vehicle 12 turns right or left, the direction indicator mark M4 is displayed in a curved state that follows the direction of travel of the vehicle 12.

[0042] The direction indicator mark M4 is superimposed with speed marks M5, whose spacing changes according to the vehicle's speed. Multiple speed marks M5 are displayed at intervals along the direction indicator mark M4. When the vehicle 12's speed is constant, the speed marks M5 are displayed at a constant interval. When the vehicle 12 accelerates, the spacing between the speed marks M5 gradually widens. Conversely, when the vehicle 12 decelerates, the spacing between the speed marks M5 gradually narrows.

[0043] On the left side of the vehicle (one side in the vehicle width direction) relative to the surrounding information display area 50A, there is a selection display area 52A that can be selected by the occupant operating the steering wheel switch 46. In the selection display area 52A, suggestions regarding the driving of the vehicle 12 during autonomous driving are displayed in a selectable state. In Figure 4(A), there are no suggestions for the occupant, so nothing is displayed in the selection display area 52A.

[0044] On the other hand, on the right side of the vehicle relative to the surrounding information display area 50A, that is, on the opposite side of the selection display area 52A relative to the surrounding information display area 50A, there is a non-selectable image display area 54A that cannot be selected even if the occupant operates the steering switch 46. In this embodiment, as an example, the non-selectable image display area 54A displays the planned actions of the vehicle 12 during autonomous driving. Specifically, the non-selectable image display area 54A displays the main planned actions based on the driving plan formulated by the autonomous driving ECU 40. In Figure 4(A), the non-selectable image display area 54A displays information that a lane change is planned 400m ahead. Also, the non-selectable image display area 54A displays information that a lane change is planned 900m ahead.

[0045] As shown in Figure 4(B), during autonomous driving, a surrounding information display area 50B is set in the center of the second display unit 26, where information about the vehicle's surroundings is displayed. This surrounding information display area 50B displays a preceding vehicle mark M1, which is modeled after a preceding vehicle, and a self-vehicle mark M6, which is modeled after vehicle 12. In other words, the second display unit 26 displays information about the vehicle 12 from a third-person perspective. In addition, a direction indicator mark M4 and a speed mark M5 are displayed in the surrounding information display area 50A.

[0046] In the second display unit 26, above the surrounding information display area 50B, the vehicle speed and set speed of the vehicle 12 are displayed. Also, to the left of the vehicle relative to the surrounding information display area 50B, a selection display area 52B is set, similar to Figure 4(A), and the outside temperature is displayed above this surrounding information display area 50B. Furthermore, to the right of the vehicle relative to the surrounding information display area 50B, a non-selectable image display area 54B is set, similar to Figure 4(A).

[0047] Here, as shown in Figure 5(A), if there are suggestions for the occupants, the suggestions regarding the driving of the vehicle 12 are displayed in the selection display area 52A in a selectable state. In this example, the selection display area 52A displays a suggestion regarding overtaking a preceding vehicle.

[0048] Specifically, the top of the option display area 52A shows a diagram illustrating the process of overtaking a preceding vehicle, and below the diagram, a textual suggestion regarding overtaking the preceding vehicle is displayed. Below the text, options M7 to accept the suggestion and option M8 to reject the suggestion are displayed. Furthermore, in Figure 5(A), option M7 is enclosed in a frame, making it visually clear that option M7 is selected.

[0049] As shown in Figure 5(B), the same content as in the first display unit 24 is displayed in the selection display area 52B of the second display unit 26. In addition, in the first display unit 24, selection M7 is displayed inverted, making it possible to visually confirm that selection M7 is selected.

[0050] Here, the occupant can change the selection of options M7 and M8 by pressing the upper or lower part of the selection button 46B of the steering switch 46 shown in Figure 1. For example, in the state shown in Figure 5(A), when the occupant presses the lower part of the selection button 46B, the frame surrounding option M7 moves downwards to surround option M8, changing the display. Similarly, in the state shown in Figure 5(B), when the occupant presses the lower part of the selection button 46B, the inverted display of option M7 is canceled, and option M8 is displayed in inverted form. Note that in Figure 5(B), the display may also be such that option M7 or option M8 is surrounded by a frame, as in Figure 5(A).

[0051] Furthermore, when option M7 is selected, if the occupant presses the confirm button 46A on the steering wheel switch 46, a signal accepting the proposal is sent to the ECU 28. In this case, the actuator group 44 of the autonomous driving ECU 40 is controlled to drive the vehicle 12 to overtake the preceding vehicle.

[0052] On the other hand, if option M8 is selected and the occupant presses the confirm button 46A on the steering wheel switch 46, a signal to reject the suggestion is sent to the ECU 28. In this case, the suggestion displayed in the option display area 52A and the option display area 52B is cleared.

[0053] (action) Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

[0054] In the vehicle information display system 10 according to this embodiment, a steering wheel switch 46, which is an operating unit, is provided on the left side of the driver's seat (one side in the vehicle width direction), and this steering wheel switch 46 is configured to be operable by the occupant. In addition, the first display unit 24 and the second display unit 26 are provided in a position visible from the driver's seat, and surrounding information display areas 50A and 50B are set in the center of the first display unit 24 and the second display unit 26, where information about the vehicle's surroundings is displayed. As a result, an occupant seated in the driver's seat can check the information about the vehicle's surroundings from the information displayed in the surrounding information display areas 50A and 50B.

[0055] Furthermore, on the left side (one side in the vehicle width direction) of the surrounding information display areas 50A and 50B, that is, on the side where the steering wheel switches 46 are located relative to the driver's seat, there are selection display areas 52A and 52B that can be selected by the occupant operating the steering wheel switches 46. As a result, when options M7 and M8 are displayed in the selection display areas 52A and 52B, the occupant can intuitively select options M7 and M8 by operating the steering wheel switches 46, which are located in the same direction as the selection display areas 52A and 52B. In other words, in a configuration where options M7 and M8 displayed on the first display unit 24 and the second display unit 26 can be selected by operating the steering wheel switches 46 or other operating parts, the selection of options M7 and M8 can be made without any hassle.

[0056] In particular, the selection display areas 52A and 52B of this embodiment display suggestions regarding vehicle operation during autonomous driving in a selectable state. This allows the occupant to select options M7 and M8 without making a mistake, even when suggestions are displayed while the occupant is relaxed and has taken their hands off the steering wheel 16, such as during autonomous driving.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the right side (the other side in the vehicle width direction) of the surrounding information display areas 50A and 50B is designated as the non-selectable image display area 54A and 54B. As a result, the options M7 and M8 are displayed to the left of the surrounding information display areas 50A and 50B each time, and when the options M7 and M8 are displayed in the option display areas 52A and 52B, the occupant can unconsciously move the hand on the same side as the option display areas 52A and 52B to operate, thereby suppressing erroneous operation.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the planned actions of the vehicle are displayed in the non-selectable image display areas 54A and 54B during autonomous driving, allowing the vehicle's behavior to be understood in advance.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vehicle 12 selection display areas 52A and 52B are set in both the first display unit 24 and the second display unit 26. This makes it possible to reduce the chance of overlooking the display of selections M7 and M8 in the selection display areas 52A and 52B, compared to a configuration in which the selection display areas 52A and 52B are set in only one of the first display unit 24 or the second display unit 26.

[0060] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the surrounding information display areas 50A and 50B of the vehicle 12 are set in both the first display unit 24 and the second display unit 26. This allows the occupant to drive while checking the surrounding information display area 50A displayed on the first display unit 24, for example, when the occupant is driving manually. Also, when the occupant is in a relaxed position during automatic driving, the first display unit 24 may be difficult to see, but the surrounding information display area 50B displayed on the second display unit 26 can be checked.

[0061] The vehicle information display system 10 according to the embodiment has been described above, but it goes without saying that it can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the steering wheel switch 46 was used as the operating unit, but it is not limited to this. A switch provided on the armrest or center console may be used as the operating unit. As shown in Figures 5(A) and 5(B), when the selection display areas 52A and 52B are set to the left of the surrounding information display areas 50A and 50B, a switch is provided on the left armrest or center console relative to the driver's seat. Conversely, when the selection display areas 52A and 52B are set to the right of the surrounding information display areas 50A and 50B, a switch is provided on the right armrest or center console relative to the driver's seat.

[0062] Furthermore, although the steering switch 46 is provided to the left of the center of the steering wheel 16 in the above embodiment, the invention is not limited to this. For example, the steering switch 46 may be provided to the upper left or lower left of the center of the steering wheel 16. Even in this case, the position of the steering switch 46 will be located on the left side of the vehicle with respect to the center of the driver's seat in the vehicle width direction, and the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

[0063] Furthermore, although the above embodiment described the case where the selection display areas 52A and 52B are set to the left of the surrounding information display areas 50A and 50B, the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the selection display area may be set above the surrounding information display areas 50A and 50B. In this case, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained by providing the operation unit for selecting an option displayed in the selection display area on the upper side of the vehicle relative to the center of the steering wheel 16. Conversely, if the selection display area is set below the surrounding information display areas 50A and 50B, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained by providing the operation unit on the lower side of the vehicle relative to the center of the steering wheel 16.
