[Figure 15] A diagram showing an example of a screen output in a modification. 【Mode for Carrying Out the Invention】 【0011】 In recent years, with the sophistication of automobiles, displays for providing information have been increasing in size or the number of displays has been increasing. 【0012】 For example, a method has been proposed in which a large touch panel display is arranged between the driver's seat and the passenger seat in the front of the vehicle interior to perform operations and information provision related to the vehicle in a lump. However, in such a method, when operating components of the vehicle or checking the output information, the driver's line of sight moves significantly. For the driving safety of the vehicle, it is preferable to minimize the movement of the driver's line of sight. 【0013】 Generally, in the part in front of the driver's seat where the instrument panel was conventionally located, a display device such as a liquid crystal display is often arranged. By outputting information to the display device, the movement of the line of sight can be minimized. However, there is a limit to the size of the display device arranged in the front, and it is not always possible to display all the information required by the driver. Also, if these pieces of information are output simultaneously in the same area, for example, the information necessary for the vehicle's driving and auxiliary information such as entertainment will be mixed, which will prevent intuitive information transmission. 【0014】 There are also problems with the arrangement of the input interface for operation. For example, a steering wheel having cursor keys and push button switches and enabling input operations while driving is known. However, in such an input interface, since the layout of buttons and the like is fixed, it is difficult to adapt to a plurality of different targets. For example, when raising or lowering the set temperature of the air conditioner, it can be done with two physical keys, but with physical keys, it is not possible to directly specify an arbitrary point on the map. A form of operation by a touch panel is also conceivable. However, as described above, the touch panel display arranged in the front of the vehicle interior is located at a position far from the steering wheel, so in addition to the movement of the line of sight, the driver's hand also moves significantly. 【0015】 To solve these problems, an in-vehicle system has been devised in which a display device capable of input operations by touch is arranged near the steering wheel. For example, by arranging displays having touch panels on the left and right of the steering wheel respectively it can be expected that the driver can operate vehicle components more intuitively and quickly. 【0016】 An in-vehicle system according to one aspect of the present disclosure is The device includes a display device with a touch panel, and an information processing device having a control unit that performs the following actions: acquiring a swipe operation performed on the display device, and outputting a drive command for adjusting the tilt of the vehicle's side mirrors based on the swipe operation. 【0017】 A swipe operation is an operation that specifies a direction by sliding the pressed position on the touch panel. Based on this operation, the information processing device outputs a drive command to adjust the tilt of the side mirror. By specifying the direction with a swipe gesture, vehicle drivers can more intuitively specify the direction in which to tilt the side mirrors. 【0018】 The display device may include a pair of display units located on both sides of the steering wheel, and the control unit may output a drive command to adjust the tilt of the side mirror in the direction corresponding to the display unit of the pair of display units that was swept. 【0019】 If the display device has display units arranged separately on the left and right sides with respect to the steering wheel, the display device can be used as an interface for operating vehicle components that are used in pairs, such as side mirrors. The information processing device generates a drive command to adjust the angle of the right-side mirror of the vehicle based on a swipe operation performed on a display unit located to the right of the steering wheel, and generates a drive command to adjust the angle of the left-side mirror of the vehicle based on a swipe operation performed on a display unit located to the left of the steering wheel. This configuration allows for a more intuitive adjustment of the side mirror angle. 【0020】 The drive command may also be a command to drive an actuator that adjusts the tilt of the side mirror in the corresponding direction. The actuator may be capable of tilting the side mirror in all 360 degrees. In this case, the drive command may include data indicating the direction in which the side mirror should be tilted. 【0021】 Furthermore, the control unit may generate a drive command to tilt the side mirror in the corresponding direction in the swept direction. 【0022】 Furthermore, the swipe operation consists of a first operation of pressing a first position on the touch panel and a second operation of moving the finger from the first position to a second position without lifting it from the touch panel, and the control unit may determine the direction in which to tilt the side mirror in the corresponding direction based on the direction of the second position with respect to the first position. 【0023】 Furthermore, the control unit may continuously output the drive command to change the tilt of the side mirror in the determined direction while the second operation is being performed. Also, when the second operation is performed, the control unit may output the drive command to change the tilt of the side mirror in the determined direction for a predetermined period of time. 【0024】 In this disclosure, "swipe operation" refers to sliding a finger across a touch panel just once. This can be an operation to specify a direction, or it can be an operation to specify multiple directions in succession by moving the finger multiple times without lifting it from the touch panel. In the former case, the first and second operations are performed consecutively, and in the latter case, the second operation is performed multiple times following the first operation. The second operation may end when the finger moves to the second position (i.e., when either direction is specified), or when the finger that has moved to the second position leaves the touch panel. 【0025】 For example, the control unit may determine the direction in which to tilt the side mirror based on the relative relationship between the initial finger placement and the finger's position after movement, and perform the operation while the finger is in contact (or for a predetermined period of time). With this configuration, since the initial finger placement becomes the reference position, it becomes unnecessary to visually check the initial finger placement on the touch panel, making it easier to specify the direction. 【0026】 Furthermore, the control unit may output first information, which includes at least information related to the control of the vehicle, via the first display unit of the pair of display units that is located closer to the outside of the vehicle, and output second information, which includes at least information related to the convenience of the vehicle's occupants, via the second display unit of the pair of display units that is located closer to the inside of the vehicle. 【0027】 The first information may include at least information related to vehicle control. The first information may, for example, notify the current status of the vehicle, or it may be an interface screen for controlling the vehicle. Preferably, the first information is information for performing vehicle control to ensure proper driving. This vehicle control includes controls to ensure the vehicle's status conforms to laws and regulations, such as the operation of wipers and the illumination of lights. 【0028】 The second type of information may include at least information related to the convenience of the occupants. The second type of information may further include, for example, information related to the comfort of the occupants. The second type of information may include, for example, information that provides entertainment to the occupants of the vehicle, or an interface screen for operating equipment for the convenience and comfort of the occupants. Examples of the second type of information include route guidance information and an operation screen for the car's air conditioning system. 【0029】 By outputting the first type of information (information related to vehicle control) and the second type of information (information related to occupant convenience) to display units facing different directions, the vehicle driver can intuitively recognize which display unit is outputting the information they need, minimizing the time they need to focus their attention on the display unit. 【0030】 Furthermore, the control unit may output information related to the adjustment of the angles of the left and right side mirrors, among the information related to the control of the vehicle, to the first display unit and the second display unit, respectively. In other words, information for adjusting the angle of the side mirrors may be output in the corresponding direction, regardless of the type of information. This allows for more intuitive operation. 【0031】 Embodiments of this disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. The configurations of the following embodiments are illustrative, and this disclosure is not limited to the configurations of these embodiments. 【0032】 (First embodiment) An overview of the vehicle system according to the first embodiment will be described. The vehicle system according to this embodiment is configured to include vehicle 1. 【0033】 Vehicle 1 will be described with reference to Figure 1. Figure 1 shows the interior of vehicle 1. As shown in the figure, the interior of vehicle 1 is equipped with a driver's seat 2 and a passenger seat 3. In this embodiment, vehicle 1 is a right-hand drive vehicle, and the driver's seat 2 is located on the right side of the vehicle. 【0034】 A steering wheel 4 is positioned in front of the driver's seat 2. The steering wheel 4 may be circular, or it may be U-shaped (a so-called irregularly shaped steering wheel) as shown in the illustration. 【0035】 The steering wheel 4 is connected to the steering system of the vehicle 1 via the steering column. The steering column is covered by a column cover. 【0036】 The passenger seat 3 is located to the left of the driver's seat 2, and a center display 24 is positioned midway between the driver's seat 2 and the passenger seat 3, towards the front of the vehicle. The center display 24 displays, for example, supplementary information such as car navigation, or entertainment content such as audio and television. 【0037】 A meter display 21 is provided on the front side of the steering wheel 4. The meter display 21 is a full-screen display located in front of the driver's seat 2 and provides various information to the driver of the vehicle 1. The meter display 21 displays information necessary for driving the vehicle, such as vehicle speed, engine speed (if the vehicle 1 has an engine), charge / discharge status (if the vehicle 1 has a drive battery), and mileage. The meter display 21 is an example of an "instrument unit" in this disclosure. 【0038】 A pair of display devices 27 are provided in front of the driver's seat 2 inside the vehicle. The pair of display devices 27 include two touch panel displays, each positioned on either side of the steering wheel 4. In this embodiment, the display located closer to the inside of the vehicle is referred to as the inner display, and the display located closer to the outside of the vehicle is referred to as the outer display. The inner display 22 and the outer display 23 are connected to the instrument panel of the vehicle 1. The outer display 23 is an example of the "first display unit" in this disclosure, and the inner display 22 is an example of the "second display unit" in this disclosure. 【0039】 The detailed structures of the inner display 22 and the outer display 23 will be described with reference to Figure 2. The inner display 22 and outer display 23 are vertically oriented displays and are connected to a support portion 5, which is a member that supports each display. The support portion 5 has a shape that protrudes in the left-right direction from the steering wheel. The outer display 23 is connected to the right end of the support portion 5 when facing forward of the vehicle, and the inner display 22 is connected to the left end when facing forward of the vehicle. This allows the display surface to be positioned near the grip portion of the steering wheel 4. 【0040】 The above explanation is an example where vehicle 1 is a right-hand drive vehicle; if vehicle 1 is a left-hand drive vehicle, the left and right sides will be reversed. That is, the outer display 23 will be connected to the left end of the support part 5 facing the front of the vehicle, and the inner display 22 will be connected to the right end facing the front of the vehicle. 【0041】 The support portion 5 may also serve as a column cover that covers the steering column. The support portion 5 extends from the portion through which the steering column passes in in the left-right direction (vehicle width direction), and each of these extends toward the rear of the vehicle, and the angle of the steering wheel with respect to the left-right direction along the way It has a shape that allows it to bend and become smaller. Furthermore, the inner display 22 and the outer display 23 are angled with respect to the left-right direction of the steering wheel, and are positioned so as to tilt toward the steering wheel. That is, the inner display 22 protrudes further to the rear of the vehicle the closer it is to the inside of the vehicle, and the outer display 23 protrudes further to the rear of the vehicle the closer it is to the outside of the vehicle. In this way, the inner display 22 and the outer display 23 are positioned so as to face the driver. The area 4R shown by the dashed line in Figure 2 is the part (grip area) where the steering wheel 4 is gripped by the right hand, and the area 4L shown by the dashed line in Figure 2 is the part (grip area) where the steering wheel 4 is gripped by the left hand. By making the support part 5 the shape described above, the positions of the inner display 22 and the outer display 23 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle can be brought closer to the grip area of ​​the steering wheel 4. Therefore, the amount of hand movement when the driver performs a touch operation on the inner display 22 or the outer display 23 while driving can be reduced. 【0042】 [System Configuration] Next, we will describe the configuration of each device that makes up the vehicle system of vehicle 1. First, let's describe the components of Vehicle 1. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of Vehicle 1. Vehicle 1 consists of a vehicle system, an electrical system, and an input / output system. 【0043】 A vehicle system is a system that controls the motion of a vehicle. A vehicle system includes multiple components related to the vehicle's movement. An input / output system is a system that provides information to the occupants of a vehicle and receives input from them. An input / output system includes multiple components that perform information input and output. An electrical system is a system that controls the electrical components of a vehicle's body. It includes multiple components related to the electrical components of the vehicle's body. The components included in each system may include multiple electrical components and an ECU that controls those electrical components. 【0044】 The vehicle ECU 10 and the body ECU 30 can be configured as computers having a processor (CPU, GPU, etc.), main memory (RAM, ROM, etc.), and auxiliary memory (EPROM, hard disk drive, removable media, etc.). The auxiliary memory stores an operating system (OS), various programs, various tables, etc., and by executing the programs stored therein, various functions (software modules) that match a predetermined purpose, as described later, can be realized. However, some or all of the functions may be realized as hardware modules by hardware circuits such as ASICs and FPGAs. 【0045】 The vehicle ECU10 is connected to several components related to the vehicle's operation. 【0046】 The GPS unit 11 is a unit for acquiring the location information of vehicle 1. The GPS unit 11 includes a GPS antenna and a positioning module for determining the location information. The GPS antenna is an antenna that receives positioning signals transmitted from positioning satellites (also called GNSS satellites). The positioning module is a module that calculates location information based on the signals received by the GPS antenna. 【0047】 The ETC (Electronic Toll Collection System) unit 12 collects tolls for toll roads. This is a unit for receiving data wirelessly. The ETC unit 12 consists of an antenna and a communication module. 【0048】 The wireless communication unit 13 includes an antenna and a communication module for wireless communication. The antenna is an antenna element that inputs and outputs wireless signals. In this embodiment, the antenna is suitable for mobile communication (e.g., 3G, 4G, 5G, etc.). The antenna may be configured to include multiple physical antennas. The communication module is a module for performing mobile communication. Furthermore, the wireless communication unit 13 may include communication modules other than those for mobile communications. For example, the wireless communication unit 13 may include a Bluetooth® communication module. This makes it possible to establish a wireless connection with a user terminal located inside the vehicle, enabling the provision of services in cooperation with the user terminal (e.g., hands-free calling). 【0049】 Sensor group 14 is a collection of multiple sensors for acquiring sensor data used during vehicle operation. Sensors may acquire physical quantities or image data, etc. In this embodiment, examples of sensors include a sensor for detecting vehicle speed (vehicle speed sensor 141) and an image sensor for acquiring images of the area in front of the vehicle (onboard camera 142). Furthermore, the vehicle ECU 10 may also be connected to components belonging to the drivetrain system (e.g., engine, motor, battery, transmission, etc.). 【0050】 The body ECU 30 is connected to multiple electrical components of the vehicle 1's body. In this embodiment, examples of electrical components on the body of vehicle 1 include a car air conditioner, wipers, headlights, side mirrors, and power seats. 【0051】 The air conditioning unit 31 is the car air conditioning system for vehicle 1.

The headlights are configured to switch between high beams and low beams, for example. If the headlights of the vehicle 1 are adaptive headlights, the illumination of the light can also be controlled based on commands from the body ECU 30. The headlight unit 33 may further include taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and / or units for driving them. 【0054】 The mirror actuators 34L / 34R are drive units for driving the side mirrors located on the left and right sides of the vehicle 1. In this embodiment, the actuator for driving the side mirror located on the left side of the vehicle 1 is referred to as mirror actuator 34L, and the actuator for driving the side mirror located on the right side of the vehicle 1 is referred to as mirror actuator 34R. The mirror actuators 34L and 34R allow the angle of the side mirrors to be adjusted up, down, left, and right. 【0055】 The seat actuator 35 includes a drive unit for adjusting the position of a seat provided in the vehicle 1. The seat actuator 35 allows adjustment of the position, height, angle, etc., of the seat surface and backrest. 【0056】 Next, we will describe the devices used for inputting and outputting information. In this embodiment, the vehicle 1 has four displays for outputting information: a meter display 21, an inner display 22, an outer display 23, and a center display 24. 【0057】 The meter display 21 is a display positioned in front of the driver and outputs information about the vehicle 1. The meter display 21 mainly outputs information about the vehicle's status, such as vehicle speed, engine speed, fuel level, battery level, charge / discharge status, and mileage, but other information may also be output. 【0058】 The inner display 22 and outer display 23 are touch-panel displays located on either side of the steering wheel. As mentioned above, the inner display 22 is located towards the center of the vehicle, and the outer display 23 is located on the outside of the vehicle. If vehicle 1 is a right-hand drive vehicle, the inner display 22 is positioned on the left side in the direction of travel, and the outer display 23 is positioned on the right side in the direction of travel. If vehicle 1 is a left-hand drive vehicle, the inner display 22 is positioned on the right side in the direction of travel, and the outer display 23 is positioned on the left side in the direction of travel. 【0059】 The center display 24 is a display located in the center of the vehicle. The center display 24 is located in the same place where the car navigation system's display was previously located. The center display 24 can display, for example, supplementary information such as car navigation, or entertainment content such as audio or television. 【0060】 The touch panel 25 is a unit for detecting touch operations performed on the aforementioned displays. In this embodiment, the inner display 22, outer display 23, and center display 24 each have a touch panel 25, allowing for touch operation. The touch panel 25 detects touch operations performed on these displays and transmits the detected information to the vehicle ECU 10. 【0061】 The audio unit 26 is a unit that performs input and output of audio information. The audio unit 26 may include, for example, a speaker and a microphone. 【0062】 Next, we will explain the detailed configuration of the vehicle ECU10. The vehicle ECU 10 is connected to the vehicle system and the drivetrain system, thereby enabling control of vehicle 1. Furthermore, the vehicle ECU 10 has the function of inputting and outputting information through components included in the input / output system, and the function of controlling the electrical system via the body ECU 30, which is responsible for the electrical system. Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the detailed configuration of the vehicle ECU 10. 【0063】 The vehicle ECU 10 is comprised of a control device 101, a storage device 102, and a communication module 103. 【0064】 The control device 101 is a calculation unit that realizes various functions of the vehicle ECU 10 by executing a predetermined program. The control device 101 can be realized by a hardware processor such as a CPU. The control device 101 also has RAM, ROM (Read It may be configured to include (Only Memory), cache memory, etc. 【0065】 In this embodiment, the control device 101 of the vehicle ECU 10 is an HMI control unit 1011, The system is comprised of six software modules: a vehicle control unit 1012, an ADAS control unit 1013, an entertainment control unit 1014, a navigation unit 1015, and an assistant unit 1016. Each software module may be implemented by executing a program stored in a storage device 102 (described later) using a control device 101 (CPU, etc.). The information processing performed by the software modules is synonymous with the information processing performed by the control device 101 (CPU, etc.). 【0066】 The HMI control unit 1011 generates a user interface for controlling various components of the vehicle and provides it to the vehicle occupants via the input / output system. The HMI control unit 1011 also passes information input via the input / output system (for example, commands to implement user-specified controls) to the corresponding software module, etc. This makes it possible to control any component of the vehicle through a user interface. 【0067】 In the following explanation, commands generated by the user to control the components of Vehicle 1 will be referred to as "user commands." For example, commands to change the air conditioner temperature, commands to change the drive mode, commands to make a phone call, and commands to play music are examples of "user commands." 【0068】 Furthermore, the components of a vehicle may include electrical components such as headlights and wipers. Also, the components of a vehicle may include an on-board computer, or software modules executed by the on-board computer (e.g., autonomous driving software, navigation software, etc.). 【0069】 The HMI control unit 1011 selects the output destination of the user interface from among several displays (meter display 21, inner display 22, outer display 23, center display 24) depending on the type of component being controlled. The specific configuration will be described later. 【0070】 The vehicle control unit 1012 controls components of the vehicle system or components of the drive system. The vehicle control unit 1012 may control a target component (e.g., a drive motor) based on a command (e.g., an acceleration command) received from another component (e.g., an ADAS control unit 1013, described later), or it may control a target component (e.g., a headlight unit) based on a user command (e.g., a headlight activation command) obtained via the HMI control unit 1011. Furthermore, the vehicle control unit 1012 can also control the electrical components of the vehicle body by communicating with the body ECU 30. 【0071】 The ADAS control unit 1013 controls the Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems. For example, the ADAS control unit 1013 generates vehicle control commands based on sensor information acquired from the on-board sensors included in the sensor group 14, thereby realizing driver assistance such as cruise control, pre-collision safety, and lane keeping assist. For example, the ADAS control unit 1013 controls the vehicle system and the drive system by transmitting control commands to the vehicle control unit 1012. 【0072】 The entertainment control unit 1014 controls the entertainment provided to the vehicle's occupants. Examples of entertainment functions include audio functions and television / radio functions. 【0073】 The navigation unit 1015 provides a car navigation function. Based on location information obtained from the GPS unit 11 and traffic information obtained from the wireless communication unit 13, the navigation unit 1015 can generate and provide vehicle route guidance. The navigation unit 1015 may, for example, accept the vehicle's destination and waypoints via the HMI control unit 1011, and output information regarding the generated route. 【0074】 Assistant unit 1016 provides information to the vehicle occupants by executing a language model capable of natural language interaction. The language model is, for example, LLM (Large Language Model). This could also be a Model. For example, by running an LLM that has information about the vehicle's occupants, it becomes possible to provide information in natural language. If there are multiple occupants in the vehicle, the assistant unit 1016 may obtain a language model corresponding to each person via the network and run any of the language models. 【0075】 The storage device 102 is a means for storing information and is composed of storage media such as RAM, magnetic disks, and flash memory. The storage device 102 stores programs executed by the control device 101, data used by those programs, and so on. 【0076】 The communication module 103 is a communication interface for connecting the vehicle ECU 10 to the vehicle network. The communication module 103 is configured to communicate with components of the vehicle 1 via a network such as CAN (Controller Area Network). ru. 【0077】 The specific configuration of the vehicle ECU 10 can be appropriately modified, with components omitted, replaced, and added depending on the embodiment. For example, the control device 101 may include multiple hardware processors. The hardware processors may consist of microprocessors, FPGAs, GPUs, etc. Input / output devices other than those exemplified (e.g., optical drives, etc.) may also be added. Furthermore, the vehicle ECU 10 may be composed of multiple computers. In this case, the hardware configurations of each computer may or may not be identical. 【0078】 [Interface screen provided by the HMI control unit] Next, the user interface provided by the HMI control unit 1011 will be described. 【0079】 The HMI control unit 1011 can generate multiple types of graphical user interface (GUI) screens and output them via the multiple displays mentioned above. In this embodiment, the HMI control unit 1011 aggregates information related to vehicle control on the outer display 23 and aggregates and outputs information related to occupant convenience and comfort on the inner display 22. This allows occupants of the vehicle 1 to intuitively recognize whether the desired information is output to the left or right side. Furthermore, the touch panel operating surfaces of the inner display 22 and outer display 23 are positioned near the steering wheel. This minimizes the amount of eye and hand movement required by the vehicle driver. 【0080】 As an exception, the HMI control unit 1011 outputs information for operating components of the vehicle 1 that come in pairs, such as side mirrors, using both the inner display 22 and the outer display 23. A detailed example will be described later. 【0081】 First, let's explain the screen output to the outer display 23. The HMI control unit 1011 can switch between multiple types of screens that are output to the outer display 23. Figure 5 illustrates the transitions between multiple types of screens output to the outer display 23. As shown, the HMI control unit 1011 can output multiple screens, centered around the main screen 501, to the outer display 23. 【0082】 (1) Main screen 501 The main screen 501 is the screen that is normally displayed on the outer display while driving. Figure 6(A) shows an example of the main screen 501. The content displayed on the main screen can be customized by the user. 【0083】 (2) Headlight control screen 502 This screen is used to set the illumination status of the headlights of vehicle 1. Figure 7(A) shows an example of the headlight control screen 502. The headlight control screen 502 allows the user to select the headlight lighting status (automatic, on, off, small lights, daytime running lights, etc.). The vehicle control unit 1012 generates a user command based on the touch operation acquired via the HMI control unit 1011 and controls the headlight unit 33 by transmitting the user command to the body ECU 30. Furthermore, the vehicle control unit 1012 may acquire data indicating the headlight illumination status from the body ECU 30 and reflect the illumination status on the screen via the HMI control unit 1011. For example, the vehicle control unit 1012 may reflect the current headlight illumination status in the vehicle graphic drawn on the screen. 【0084】 (3) Wiper control screen 503 This screen is used to set the operating status of the wipers (front and rear) of vehicle 1. Figure 7(B) shows an example of the wiper control screen 503. On the wiper control screen 503, the operating state of the wipers (stop, automatic operation, intermittent operation, continuous operation, etc.) can be selected. The vehicle control unit 1012 generates a user command based on the touch operation acquired via the HMI control unit 1011 and controls the wiper unit 32 by transmitting the user command to the body ECU 30. Furthermore, the vehicle control unit 1012 may acquire data indicating the wiper's operating status from the body ECU 30 and reflect the operating status on the screen via the HMI control unit 1011. For example, the vehicle control unit 1012 may reflect the current wiper's operating status in the vehicle graphic drawn on the screen. 【0085】 (4) Mirror control screen 504 This screen is used to adjust the deployment state and angle of the side mirrors of vehicle 1. Figure 8 shows an example of the mirror control screen 504. When the mirror control screen 504 is displayed on the outer display 23, the mirror control screen is displayed on both the inner display 22 and the outer display 23. As in this embodiment, if vehicle 1 is a right-hand drive vehicle, the inner display 22 displays a screen for adjusting the left side mirror, and the outer display 23 displays a screen for adjusting the right side mirror. If vehicle 1 is a left-hand drive vehicle, the outer display 23 displays a screen for adjusting the left side mirror, and the inner display 22 displays a screen for adjusting the right side mirror. These screens allow the user to select the state of the side mirrors (folded / unfolded state and angle). The vehicle control unit 1012 generates a user command based on the touch operation acquired via the HMI control unit 1011 and transmits the user command to the body ECU 30. This controls the mirror actuator 34. Furthermore, the vehicle control unit 1012 may acquire data indicating the status of the side mirrors from the body ECU 30 and reflect the operating status on the screen via the HMI control unit 1011. For example, the vehicle control unit 1012 may reflect the current deployed / retracted state of the side mirrors in the user interface displayed on the screen. 【0086】 The angle of the side mirrors can be adjusted by moving a finger on the touch panel (within a predetermined operating area included in the mirror control screen). Figure 9 illustrates the movement of a finger within the operating area (the area indicated by reference numeral 801 in Figure 8). The arrows drawn within the operating area indicate that a direction can be specified by moving a finger, and do not have any meaning in themselves. 【0087】 The driver performs two operations: touching any position within the operation area 801 on the mirror control screen (first operation), and moving the finger without lifting it from the touch panel (second operation). For example, Figure 9(A) shows an example where the driver moves their finger upward while keeping it in contact with the touch panel. In the illustrated example, "S" represents the location where the driver first touched the panel, and "E" represents the destination of the finger. This operation represents a gesture of tilting the side mirror upward. Figure 9(B) shows an example where the driver moves their finger to the right while keeping it in contact with the touch panel. Similarly, in this example, "S" represents the location where the driver first touched the panel, and "E" represents the destination of the finger. This operation represents a gesture of tilting the side mirror to the right. 【0088】 In this example, we have shown examples of moving the finger upwards and to the right, but the direction of finger movement can be up, down, left, or right, or even diagonally. For example, moving the finger diagonally upwards to the right represents tilting the side mirror diagonally upwards to the right. 【0089】 Based on these operations, the HMI control unit 1011 generates a drive command for the side mirror actuator (34L or 34R) in the corresponding direction and transmits the drive command to the actuator. For example, if vehicle 1 is a right-hand drive vehicle and an operation is performed on the inner display 22, the HMI control unit 1011 outputs a drive command to the actuator (34L) of the left-side mirror to tilt the mirror in the direction indicated by the gesture. If an operation is performed on the outer display 23, the HMI control unit 1011 outputs a drive command to the actuator (34R) of the right-side mirror to tilt the mirror in the direction indicated by the gesture. The drive command includes information indicating the direction in which the mirror should be tilted. While receiving the drive command, each actuator performs the operation to tilt the mirror in the direction specified by the drive command. The output of the drive command continues until the driver's finger leaves the operating area. 【0090】 If the side mirror actuator can be driven in all 360 degrees, the mirror will be tilted in the specified direction. However, if the actuator can only be driven in a limited number of directions, such as four or eight directions, the actual driving direction may be determined based on the direction specified by the driver. For example, the HMI control unit 1011 may output a drive command to tilt the mirror in the direction closest to the specified direction among the directions in which the actuator can be driven. 【0091】 Furthermore, if the mirror control screen 504 is closed on either the inner display 22 or the outer display 23, the mirror control screen 504 will be closed, and the previously displayed screen will be re-displayed on both the inner display 22 and the outer display 23. 【0092】 Return to the explanation of the screen displayed on outer display 23. 【0093】 (5) Driving position adjustment screen 505 This screen allows you to adjust the position and angle of the seats (seat cushion and backrest) and the steering wheel of vehicle 1. The driving position adjustment screen 505 allows users to set the position and angle of the seat and steering wheel. The vehicle control unit 1012 receives touch operations via the HMI control unit 1011, generates user commands based on these operations, and transmits these user commands to the body ECU 30 to control the seat actuator 35 and other components. 【0094】 (6) ADAS settings screen 506 This screen displays the operating status of the advanced driver assistance system in vehicle 1 and allows for setting adjustments. For example, if the advanced driver assistance system of vehicle 1 includes an auto cruise function, the user of vehicle 1 can set the cruising speed, distance between vehicles, whether or not to follow the vehicle in front, whether or not to use lane tracing, etc., via the ADAS setting screen 506. The information included in the ADAS settings screen 506 can be generated by the ADAS control unit 1013. 【0095】 (7) Drive mode setting screen 507 This is the screen for setting the drive mode of vehicle 1. Figure 7(D) shows an example of the drive mode setting screen 507. For example, the user of vehicle 1 can select a mode from several modes, such as normal mode, sport mode, eco mode, and snow mode, via the drive mode setting screen 507. The vehicle control unit 1012 changes the vehicle's drive mode based on this selection. 【0096】 (8) Vehicle function setting screen 508 This screen is for using other functions of Vehicle 1. Examples of other functions of Vehicle 1 include opening and closing the electric tailgate and adjusting the suspension. 【0097】 (9) Display mode setting screen 509 This screen is for setting the types of information displayed on the meter display 21. For example, if the meter display 21 can display multiple pieces of information other than speed, the user of the vehicle 1 can customize the information displayed on the meter display 21 via the display mode setting screen 509. 【0098】 The multiple screens exemplified above can be switched by performing a predetermined operation, such as swiping left or right, on the touch panel provided on the outer display 23. Furthermore, the HMI control unit 1011 can display a shortcut screen 510 on the outer display 23 for jumping to each screen. Figure 6(B) shows an example of the shortcut screen 510. The shortcut screen can be accessed, for example, by performing a predetermined operation (for example, swiping from the bottom of the screen upwards) on each screen, including the main screen 501. The shortcut screen 510 has multiple interfaces (for example, buttons) for transitioning to each screen, and by operating these interfaces, the user can move to the desired screen. 【0099】 In this way, the HMI control unit 1011 aggregates and outputs information related to vehicle control to the outer display 23. Information related to vehicle control typically refers to information related to the vehicle's driving control. Examples of information related to vehicle driving control include information for controlling components belonging to the vehicle system and information for controlling components belonging to the drive system. Furthermore, information for controlling components belonging to the electrical system, such as lights and wipers, which are necessary for the vehicle to drive properly, can also be considered information related to vehicle driving control. Furthermore, information related to vehicle control, even if not directly related to vehicle driving control, can be output to the outer display 23. For example, information for controlling the vehicle's electric doors may be output to the outer display 23. 【0100】 Furthermore, the HMI control unit 1011 exceptionally uses both the inner display 22 and the outer display 23 to display the mirror control screen. 【0101】 Next, I will explain the screen output to the inner display 22. The HMI control unit 1011 can switch the screen output to the inner display 22 to multiple types of screens, similar to the outer display 23. Figure 10 is a diagram illustrating the transitions between multiple types of screens output to the inner display 22. As shown, the HMI control unit 1011 can output multiple screens, centered around the main screen 1001, to the inner display 22. 【0102】 (1) Main screen 1001 The main screen 1001 is the screen that is normally displayed on the inner display while driving. Figure 10(A) shows an example of the main screen 1001. The content displayed on the main screen can be customized by the user. 【0103】 (2) Navigation screen 1002 This is a screen related to car navigation. Figure 11(A) shows an example of the navigation screen 1002. The information contained in the navigation screen 1002 is generated by the navigation unit 1015. Furthermore, when map information from the car navigation system is displayed on the center display 24, the navigation screen 1002 may output supplementary information regarding the vehicle's route. Examples of supplementary route information include guidance on the next turn, estimated time of arrival, and remaining distance. 【0104】 Furthermore, the navigation screen 1002 may include some of the information and user interface displayed on the center display 24. For example, frequently used user interfaces such as a button to start directions to home, a button to access bookmarks, and a button to start directions to a charging station can be placed on the navigation screen 1002. 【0105】 (3) Audio screen 1003 This is a screen related to the audio function of vehicle 1. Figure 11(B) shows an example of the audio screen 1003. The information contained in the audio screen 1003 is generated by the entertainment control unit 1014. The entertainment control unit 1014 can acquire and play music via a network or media. The audio screen 1003 can include information about the music currently being played and an interface for selecting music. 【0106】 (4) Air conditioner settings screen 1004 This is a screen for controlling the car air conditioner of vehicle 1. Figure 11(C) shows an example of the air conditioner setting screen 1004. The air conditioning settings screen 1004 allows users to set the temperature and airflow of the car's air conditioning system, as well as the air conditioning devices to be operated (steering wheel heater, seat heater, defroster, etc.). The vehicle control unit 1012 generates user commands based on the operations performed on the screen and transmits these user commands to the body ECU 30 to control the air conditioning unit 31 and other components. Although the car air conditioner is a vehicle 1 piece of equipment controlled by external commands, it relates to the comfort of the occupants, so the air conditioner setting screen 1004 is displayed on the inner display 22, not the outer display 23. 【0107】 (5) Phone screen 1005 This screen is for wirelessly connecting with the user terminal and making hands-free calls. If the wireless communication unit 13 has a module for wireless communication with the user terminal, it can make (or receive) phone calls from the user terminal via this module. 【0108】 (6) AI Partner Screen 1006 This is a screen for interacting with a virtual agent (AI partner) capable of natural language dialogue. Figure 11(D) shows an example of the AI ​​partner screen 1006. This screen includes a virtual agent character, and the vehicle occupant can obtain information by interacting with this character. The natural language dialogue service is provided by the assistant unit 1016. The AI ​​partner screen 1006 may include an interface for giving instructions to the agent. If there are multiple occupants in the vehicle, the assistant unit 1016 may be configured to run any agent corresponding to each person. The AI ​​partner screen 1006 may also include interfaces for starting and ending interactions with the agent, and interfaces for switching agents. 【0109】 The multiple screens exemplified above can be switched by performing a predetermined operation, such as swiping left or right, on the touch panel provided on the inner display 22. Furthermore, the HMI control unit 1011 can display a shortcut screen 1010 on the inner display 22 for jumping to each screen. Figure 11(B) shows an example of the shortcut screen 1010. The shortcut screen can be accessed, for example, by performing a predetermined operation (for example, swiping from the bottom of the screen upwards) on each screen, including the main screen 1001. The shortcut screen 1010 has multiple interfaces (for example, buttons) for transitioning to each screen, and by operating these interfaces, the user can move to the desired screen. 【0110】 In this way, the HMI control unit 1011 aggregates and outputs information regarding the convenience and comfort of the occupants to the inner display 22. 【0111】 Furthermore, information about components that are part of the vehicle, such as car air conditioners, but relate to the convenience or comfort of the occupants, may be output to the inner display 22 without being treated as information related to vehicle control. Thus, if the information in question falls under both vehicle control information and information regarding occupant convenience (or comfort), the information may be selectively output to either the inner display 22 or the outer display 23 according to predetermined criteria. 【0112】 In addition, separate from the above explanation, the HMI control unit 1011 may output predetermined information to the center display 24. For example, information generated by the entertainment control unit 1014 or the navigation unit 1015 can be output not only to the inner display 22 but also to the center display 24. 【0113】 [Operation acquisition process in the mirror control screen] Next, we will describe the process by which the HMI control unit 1011 acquires user input and drives the mirror actuators 34L / 34R on the mirror control screen 504. 【0114】 Figure 13 is a flowchart of the process executed by the HMI control unit 1011 when an operation to tilt the side mirror is performed on the mirror control screen 504. 【0115】 First, in step S11, the HMI control unit 1011 determines whether a predetermined operation area included in the mirror control screen has been touched. If the predetermined operation area has been touched, the process proceeds to step S12. If the predetermined operation area has not been touched, the process in step S11 is repeated. 【0116】 In step S12, the HMI control unit 1011 temporarily stores the position touched in step S11 on the operating area as the initial position. 【0117】 In step S13, the HMI control unit 1011 determines the direction of finger movement from the initial position and drives the mirror actuator. The direction of finger movement can be determined by comparing the coordinates of the initial position, which are temporarily stored, with the current coordinates of the finger. If, for example, the vehicle 1 is a right-hand drive vehicle and an operation is performed on the inner display 22, the HMI control unit 1011 sends a drive command to the actuator (34L) of the left-side mirror to tilt the mirror in the direction of the finger movement. If an operation is performed on the outer display 23, the HMI control unit 1011 sends a drive command to the actuator (34R) of the right-side mirror to tilt the mirror in the direction of the finger movement. As a result, for example, if the direction of finger movement is upward, the tilt of the side mirror changes so that a view further upward can be captured. Also, if the direction of finger movement is outward from the vehicle body, the tilt of the side mirror changes so that a view further outward can be captured. The drive command is repeatedly transmitted while the finger is touching the touch panel. 【0118】 In step S14, the HMI control unit 1011 determines whether the finger has left the touch panel. If the finger has not left the touch panel, the process repeats step S14. If the finger has left the touch panel, the process proceeds to step S15. In step S15, the HMI control unit 1011 stops outputting the drive command. 【0119】 As described above, in the first embodiment, the HMI control unit 1011 of the vehicle ECU 10 outputs various information related to the vehicle and driving using the outer display 23 and the inner display 22. The HMI control unit 1011 outputs information related to occupant convenience and comfort (second information) via an inner display positioned closer to the inside of the vehicle, and outputs information related to vehicle control (first information) via an outer display positioned closer to the outside of the vehicle. With this configuration, the driver of vehicle 1 can intuitively recognize which display unit outputs the information they are looking for, minimizing the time they need to focus their attention on the display. 【0120】 Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the HMI control unit 1011 outputs information for operating a pair of components, such as side mirrors, using both the inner display 22 and the outer display 23. This configuration allows for more intuitive operation when manipulating the relevant components. 【0121】 (modified version) The embodiments described above are merely examples, and this disclosure may be modified as appropriate without departing from its essence. For example, the processes and means described in this disclosure can be freely combined and implemented, as long as no technical inconsistencies arise. 【0122】 Furthermore, while the first embodiment illustrates a configuration in which the meter display 21, inner display 22, and outer display 23 are independent of each other, each display does not necessarily have to be physically independent. The display device according to this disclosure may be realized by a single display device 1401, for example, as shown in Figure 14. In the example in Figure 14, the display device 1401 has three display areas (display sections) separated by dashed lines. The display device 1401 may have a structure in which the display surface is bent or curved at the portion indicated by the dashed line. In the illustrated example, display area 1402 functions as the inner display 22, display area 1403 functions as the outer display 23, and display area 1404 functions as the meter display 21. 【0123】 Furthermore, while the first embodiment showed an example of adjusting the side mirrors using both the inner display 22 and the outer display 23, adjusting the side mirrors does not necessarily require the use of a pair of displays. For example, a display could be placed only on the right or left side of the steering wheel, and the side mirrors could be adjusted using the method described above. Figure 15 shows an example of a screen displayed when adjusting the side mirrors using a single display. In this case, an interface for specifying the left or right side mirror may be added to the screen, as shown in the figure. Such a screen may also be displayed on the center display 24. 【0124】 Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the operation of the driver touching any position within the operating area (first operation) and the operation of moving the finger without lifting it from the touch panel (second operation) were described separately. However, the gesture performed by the driver may be an operation that combines the first and second operations. Either operation corresponds to a "swipe operation" in this disclosure. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the actuator was driven during the period from when the touch panel was pressed until the finger was released. However, the actuator may be driven for a predetermined time each time a direction is specified via the touch panel (or each time the specified direction changes). 【0125】 Furthermore, although the first embodiment was described assuming that the actuator's drive speed is uniform, the actuator's drive speed may be variable. For example, in step S13, the distance of the finger from the initial position stored in step S12 may be determined, and the actuator's drive speed may be increased as the distance increases, and decreased as the distance decreases. Alternatively, the actuator's drive speed may be increased as the speed at which the finger is moved on the touch panel increases, and the actuator's drive speed may be decreased as the speed at which the finger is moved decreases. 【0126】 Furthermore, in the first embodiment, two types of information were exemplified as the second information: information relating to the convenience of the occupants and information relating to the comfort of the occupants. However, the second information may consist of only one of these, or it may include other types of information. Furthermore, in the first embodiment, information related to vehicle control was given as an example of the first information, but the first information may include other types of information. 【0127】 Furthermore, a process described as being performed by a single device may be divided and executed by multiple devices. Conversely, a process described as being performed by different devices may be executed by a single device. In a computer system, the hardware configuration (server configuration) by which each function is implemented can be flexibly changed. 【0128】 The present disclosure can also be realized by supplying a computer program implementing the functions described in the embodiments above to a computer, and having one or more processors in the computer read and execute the program. Such a computer program may be provided to the computer by a non-temporary computer-readable storage medium that can be connected to the computer's system bus, or it may be provided to the computer via a network. Non-temporary computer-readable storage mediums include, for example, any type of disk such as magnetic disks (floppy disks, hard disk drives (HDDs), etc.), optical disks (CD-ROMs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, etc.), read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), EPROM, EEPROM, magnetic cards, flash memory, optical cards, and any type of medium suitable for storing electronic instructions.
