Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In recent years, as the functions of moving bodies such as vehicles have become more advanced, the number of function setting items has increased, and the time required for operation confirmation and initial setting of functions has tended to become longer. Therefore, as described above, if a warning display is started at the time of starting the moving body and the warning display is turned off when it is confirmed that there is no abnormality in the target function, the waiting time until the warning display disappears becomes long, which causes inconvenience to the user who has boarded the moving body and gives a sense of uneasiness. The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and an object thereof is to provide a display control device capable of shortening the time until a warning display displayed at the time of starting a moving body disappears.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] As a first embodiment for achieving the above objective, a display control device for controlling the operation of a display device provided on a mobile body is provided, comprising: a startup operation recognition unit that recognizes the startup operation of the mobile body; an operation confirmation status recognition unit that recognizes the execution status of an operation confirmation process of a predetermined function of the mobile body which is executed when the mobile body is started; and a warning display control unit that starts a warning display by the display control device when the startup operation of the mobile body is recognized by the startup operation recognition unit, and terminates the warning display based on the execution status of the operation confirmation process recognized by the operation confirmation status recognition unit, wherein the warning display control unit terminates the warning display when the operation confirmation status recognition unit recognizes that the normal operation of the predetermined function has been confirmed by the first operation confirmation process, in the case where the operation confirmation process includes a first operation confirmation process that confirms the normal operation of the predetermined function and a second operation confirmation process that confirms whether or not the option setting of the predetermined function can be used which is executed after the normal operation of the predetermined function has been confirmed by the first operation confirmation process.

[0006] The above-described display control device may also be configured to include an abnormality notification unit, which, when the operation confirmation status recognition unit recognizes that it was not possible to confirm the normal operation of the predetermined function by the first operation confirmation process, makes a first abnormality notification, and when the operation confirmation status recognition unit recognizes that it was possible to confirm the normal operation of the predetermined function by the first operation confirmation process and also recognizes that the option setting is unusable by the second operation confirmation process, makes a second abnormality notification different from the first abnormality notification.

[0007] In the above-described display control device, the operation confirmation status recognition unit may be configured to include an option setting restriction notification unit that, when it recognizes that the normal operation of the predetermined function has been confirmed by the first operation confirmation process and that the option setting is unavailable by the second operation confirmation process, it notifies that the use of the option setting is restricted.

[0008] In the above-described display control device, the mobile body has, as a predetermined function, a first predetermined function that executes the first operation confirmation process and the second operation confirmation process when the mobile body is started, and a second predetermined function that executes at least the first operation confirmation process when the mobile body is started, and the warning display control unit starts the warning display for the first predetermined function and the warning display for the second predetermined function when the start operation recognition unit recognizes the start operation of the mobile body, and when the operation confirmation status recognition unit recognizes that the normal operation of the first predetermined function has been confirmed by the first operation confirmation process for the first predetermined function, If the system does not recognize that the normal operation of the second predetermined function has been confirmed by the first operation confirmation process for the second predetermined function, the end time of the warning display for the first predetermined function may be extended until the operation confirmation status recognition unit recognizes that the normal operation of the second predetermined function has been confirmed by the first operation confirmation process for the second predetermined function. The system may then terminate the warning display for both the first predetermined function and the second predetermined function when the operation confirmation status recognition unit recognizes that the normal operation of the second predetermined function has been confirmed by the first operation confirmation process for the second predetermined function.

[0009] In the above-described display control device, the mobile body has, as a predetermined function, a first predetermined function that executes the first operation confirmation process and the second operation confirmation process when the mobile body is started, and a second predetermined function that executes at least the first operation confirmation process when the mobile body is started. The warning display control unit starts the warning display for the first predetermined function and the warning display for the second predetermined function when the start operation recognition unit recognizes that the start operation of the mobile body has been recognized. The operation confirmation status recognition unit recognizes that the normal operation of the second predetermined function has been confirmed by the first operation confirmation process for the second predetermined function, but does not recognize that the normal operation of the first predetermined function has been confirmed by the first operation confirmation process for the first predetermined function. In this configuration, the warning display for the first predetermined function and the warning display for the second predetermined function may be terminated when the operation confirmation status recognition unit recognizes that the normal operation of the predetermined function has been confirmed by the first operation confirmation process for the second predetermined function.

[0010] As a second embodiment for achieving the above objective, a display control device executed by a computer for controlling the operation of a display device provided on a mobile body is provided, which includes: a startup operation recognition step for recognizing the startup operation of the mobile body; an operation confirmation status recognition step for recognizing the execution status of an operation confirmation process of a predetermined function of the mobile body, which is executed when the mobile body is started; and a warning display control step for starting a warning display by the display device when the startup operation of the mobile body is recognized by the startup operation recognition step, and ending the warning display based on the execution status of the operation confirmation process recognized by the operation confirmation status recognition step, wherein the warning display control step includes a first operation confirmation process for confirming the normal operation of the predetermined function, and a second operation confirmation process for confirming whether or not an option setting of the predetermined function can be used, which is executed after the normal operation of the predetermined function is confirmed by the first operation confirmation process, and ends the warning display after the start of the warning display when the operation confirmation status recognition step recognizes that the normal operation of the predetermined function has been confirmed by the first operation confirmation process. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the above-described display control device and display control method, the time it takes for the warning display shown when the mobile device is started to disappear can be shortened, thereby suppressing the feeling of anxiety experienced by the user. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 2] Figure 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the display control device. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a flowchart showing the control of ADAS warning displays. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a timing chart for ADAS warning displays. [Figure 5] Figure 5 is a flowchart showing the control of warning displays for multiple target functions. [Figure 6] Figure 6 is a timing chart of warning displays for multiple target functions. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0013] [1. Display Control Device Configuration] The configuration of the display control device 1 of this disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. As shown in Figure 1, the display control device 1 is mounted on a vehicle 100 and controls the operation of a meter 50 and a center display 5 provided in the vehicle 100. The meter 50 is located in front of the driver's seat 3 of the vehicle 100. The vehicle 100 is equipped with an SS (start / stop) switch 2 operated by the user U of the vehicle 100. The user U operates the SS switch 2 to start (power on) and stop (power off) the vehicle 100. The vehicle 100 corresponds to the mobile body of this disclosure. The mobile body of this disclosure may be a ship, an aircraft, or the like, in addition to a vehicle.

[0014] Referring to Figure 2, the display control device 1 is connected to the SS switch 2, center display 5, meter 50, ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) 30, CMBS (Collision Mitigation Brake System) 31, ABS (Antilock Braking System) 32, and EPS (Electric Power Steering) 33 provided in the vehicle 100.

[0015] ADAS30, CMBS31, ABS32, and EPS33 correspond to the specified functions of this disclosure. ADAS30 corresponds to the first specified function of this disclosure, which allows user U to make optional settings (such as setting the distance to the vehicle ahead in adaptive cruise control), while the functions of CMBS31, ABS32, and EPS33 correspond to the second specified function of this disclosure, which does not allow user U to make optional settings. The specified functions of this disclosure are not limited to these, and any function whose normal operation is confirmed when the vehicle 100 is started, such as oil or battery, is acceptable.

[0016] The meter 50 includes a meter display 51 that displays the driving status of the vehicle 100 (speed, mileage, fuel consumption, etc.) and a warning display unit 52 that displays warnings regarding the functions of the vehicle 100. The warning display unit 52 displays warnings 52a for ADAS 30, 52b for CMBS 31, 52c for ABS 32, and 52d for EPS 33.

[0017] The display control device 1 is a control unit that includes a processor 10, a memory 20, and the like. The processor 10 functions as a startup operation recognition unit 11, an operation confirmation status recognition unit 12, a warning display control unit 13, an abnormality notification unit 14, and an option setting limit notification unit 15 by executing a program 21 stored in the memory 20.

[0018] Processor 10 corresponds to the computer of the present disclosure. The process executed by the startup operation recognition unit 11 corresponds to the startup operation recognition step in the display control method of the present disclosure, and the process executed by the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 corresponds to the operation confirmation status recognition step in the display control method of the present disclosure. The process executed by the warning display control unit 13 corresponds to the warning display control step in the display control method of the present disclosure.

[0019] The startup operation recognition unit 11 recognizes the startup operation of the vehicle 100 by the SS switch 2 based on the operation signal input from the SS switch 2. When the startup operation of the vehicle 100 by the SS switch 2 is performed, the ADAS 30 executes an operation confirmation process to confirm that the functions of the ADAS operate normally. Similarly, the CMBS 31, ABS 32, and EPS 33 also execute the operation confirmation process for each function when they recognize the startup operation of the vehicle 100 by the SS switch 2.

[0020] The operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 recognizes the execution status of the operation confirmation process for each function of the ADAS 30, CMBS 31, ABS 32, and EPS 33 through communication with the ADAS 30, CMBS 31, ABS 32, and EPS 33. The warning display control unit 13 controls the display of the warning displays 52a to 52d for each function in the warning display unit 52 of the meter 50. The abnormality notification unit 14 performs abnormality notification for the ADAS 30, CMBS 31, ABS 32, and EPS 33 by displaying it on the meter display 51 and the center display 5. The option setting restriction notification unit 15 notifies that the option setting in the ADAS 30 is unavailable by displaying it on the center display 5.

[0021] [2. Warning Display of ADAS] The display control of the warning display 52a of the ADAS 30, executed by the display control device 1, will be explained according to the flowchart shown in Figure 3. In step S1 of Figure 3, when the start operation recognition unit 11 recognizes the start operation of the vehicle 100 by the operation signal of the SS switch 2, it proceeds to step S2. In response to the start operation of the vehicle 100, the operation confirmation process of each function is started in the ADAS 30, CMBS 31, ABS 32, and EPS 33.

[0022] In step S2, the warning display control unit 13 starts displaying the ADAS 30's warning display 52a on the meter 50's warning display unit 52. In the following step S3, the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 recognizes the execution status of the operation confirmation process in the ADAS 30 through communication with the ADAS 30.

[0023] In the next step, S4, the warning display control unit 13 determines whether the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 has recognized that the ADAS 30 is operating normally. If the ADAS 30 is operating normally, the warning display control unit 13 proceeds to step S5; otherwise, it proceeds to step S20.

[0024] In step S20, the warning display control unit 13 determines whether the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 has confirmed that the ADAS 30 is unable to operate normally. If the warning display control unit 13 confirms that the ADAS 30 is unable to operate normally, it proceeds to step S21; otherwise, it proceeds to step S3.

[0025] In step S21, the abnormality notification unit 14 displays a notification on the meter display 51 and the center display 5 indicating that the ADAS 30 is unusable (corresponding to the first abnormality notification in this disclosure), and proceeds to step S8. In step S5, the warning display control unit 13 terminates the display of the ADAS 30 warning display 52a.

[0026] Here, Figure 4 is a timing chart showing the execution status of the ADAS 30 operation confirmation process and the display status of the ADAS 30 warning display 52a, using a common time axis t. In Figure 4, t11 is the time when the vehicle 100 is started, and the ADAS 30 operation confirmation process begins, and the ADAS 30 warning display 52a is displayed (display on). Then, at t12, when the confirmation of the normal operation of ADAS 30 is completed, the warning display control unit 13 terminates the display of the ADAS 30 warning display 52a (display off). The process of confirming the normal operation of ADAS 30 from t11 to t12 corresponds to the first operation confirmation process of this disclosure, and the confirmation of whether the option settings can be used from t12 to t13 corresponds to the second operation confirmation process of this disclosure.

[0027] This allows the warning indicator 52a to disappear earlier than if it were to disappear at point t13 when the ADAS30 operation verification process, including the confirmation of whether the ADAS30 option settings can be used, is completed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent user U from feeling anxious due to the warning indicator 52a not disappearing for a long time.

[0028] In the following step S6, the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 recognizes the execution status of the operation confirmation process in ADAS 30 through communication with ADAS 30. In the next step S7, the abnormality notification unit 14 determines whether the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 has confirmed that the option settings of ADAS 30 are available. If the availability of the option settings is confirmed, the abnormality notification unit 14 proceeds to step S8; otherwise, it proceeds to step S30.

[0029] In step S30, the abnormality notification unit 14 determines whether the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 has confirmed that the ADAS 30 option settings are unavailable. If the abnormality notification unit 14 confirms that the option settings are unavailable, it proceeds to step S31; otherwise, it proceeds to step S6.

[0030] In step S31, the abnormality notification unit 14 displays on the center display 5 a message (corresponding to the second abnormality notification in this disclosure) indicating that the option settings of the ADAS 30 cannot be used and that the use of option settings is restricted, and proceeds to step S8.

[0031] [3. Warning display for multiple target functions] The control of the display termination timing of multiple warning displays 52a to 52d executed by the display control device 1 will be explained according to the flowchart shown in Figure 5. In step S50 of Figure 5, when the start operation recognition unit 11 recognizes the start operation of the vehicle 100 by the operation signal of the SS switch 2, it proceeds to step S51. In response to the start operation of the vehicle 100, the ADAS 30, CMBS 31, ABS 32, and EPS 33 start the operation confirmation process for each function. Hereafter, ADAS 30, CMBS 31, ABS 32, and EPS 33 will also be referred to as target functions.

[0032] In step S51, the warning display control unit 13 starts displaying all warnings 52a to 52d on the warning display unit 52 of the meter 50. In the following step S52, the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 recognizes the execution status of each function operation confirmation process in ADAS 30, CMBS 31, ABS 32, and EPS 33 through communication with ADAS 30, CMBS 31, ABS 32, and EPS 33.

[0033] In the next step, S53, the warning display control unit 13 determines whether the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 has confirmed normal operation for all of the ADAS 30, CMBS 31, ABS 32, and EPS 33. If normal operation is confirmed for all of the ADAS 30, CMBS 31, ABS 32, and EPS 33, the warning display control unit 13 proceeds to step S54.

[0034] On the other hand, if normal operation has not been confirmed for all of ADAS30, CMBS31, ABS32, and EPS33, the warning display control unit 13 proceeds to step S60. In step S60, the abnormality notification unit 14 determines, based on the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12, whether or not there is a target function that has been confirmed to be unable to operate normally. If there is a target function that has been confirmed to be unable to operate normally, the abnormality notification unit 14 proceeds to step S61; if there is no target function that has been confirmed to be unable to operate normally, it proceeds to step S52.

[0035] In step S61, the abnormality notification unit 14 displays a notification on the meter display 51 and the center display 5 indicating that the target function, which has been recognized as unable to operate normally, is unusable (corresponding to the first abnormality notification in this disclosure), and proceeds to step S57. In step S54, the warning display control unit 13 terminates the display of warnings 52a to 52d for all target functions.

[0036] Here, Figure 6 is a timing chart showing the progress of the operation confirmation process for each target function and the display status of all warning indicators 52a to 52d on a common time axis. In Figure 6, t21 is the time when the vehicle 100 is started, the operation confirmation process for each target function begins, and all warning indicators 52a to 52d are displayed (display on).

[0037] Then, at t25, when the normal operation of all target functions has been confirmed through the operation confirmation process, the warning display control unit 13 terminates the display of all warning displays 52a to 52d. As a result, as shown in callout B, the termination of the ADAS 30 warning display 52a is extended from t24, when the normal operation of ADAS 30 has been confirmed, to t25, when the normal operation of all target functions has been confirmed, and the start and end of the display of all warning displays 52a to 52d occur at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the flickering caused by the different start and end times of the warning displays 52a to 52d, which would otherwise be annoying to the user U.

[0038] In the following step S55, the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 recognizes the execution status of the operation confirmation process in ADAS 30 through communication with ADAS 30. In the next step S56, the abnormality notification unit 14 determines whether the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 has confirmed that option settings are possible in ADAS 30. If the abnormality notification unit 14 confirms that option settings are possible, it proceeds to step S57; otherwise, it proceeds to step S70.

[0039] In step S70, the abnormality notification unit 14 determines whether the operation confirmation status recognition unit 12 has confirmed that the ADAS 30 option settings are unavailable. If the abnormality notification unit 14 confirms that the option settings are unavailable, it proceeds to step S71; otherwise, it proceeds to step S55.

[0040] In step S71, the abnormality notification unit 14 displays on the center display 5 a message (corresponding to the second abnormality notification in this disclosure) indicating that the option settings of the ADAS 30 cannot be used and that the use of option settings is restricted, and proceeds to step S57.

[0041] [4. Other Embodiments] In the above embodiment, an abnormality notification unit 14 is provided to distinguish between abnormality notifications when the normal operation of a predetermined function could not be confirmed and abnormality notifications when the normal operation of the predetermined function was confirmed but the usability of option settings could not be confirmed. In another embodiment, the abnormality notification unit 14 may be omitted.

[0042] In the above embodiment, an option setting restriction notification unit l5 is provided to notify that the use of option settings is restricted when it is confirmed that option settings cannot be used. However, the configuration may be made without the option setting restriction notification unit 15.

[0043] In the above embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the warning display control unit 13 performs a process to suppress flickering of the multiple warning displays 52a to 52d by setting the timing of termination of the display of the multiple warning displays 52a to 52d to the same point in time. In other embodiments, the system may be configured not to perform such a process.

[0044] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the display control device 1 divided by its main processing content, in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention. The configuration of the display control device 1 may be divided into other categories. Furthermore, the processing of each component may be performed by one hardware unit or by multiple hardware units. Also, the processing of each component shown in Figures 3 and 5 may be performed by one program or by multiple programs.
