Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Door mirrors, for example, can be adjusted by changing their angle. In contrast, electronic mirror systems can be adjusted in various ways, not only by changing the angle, but also by zooming in and out. While the ability to make various adjustments allows the image to be adjusted to the user's desired display state, it takes time to complete the adjustment. Therefore, it is conceivable that the vehicle may start driving before the adjustment is complete. If the vehicle drives with an image that is not sufficiently displayed for the user before the adjustment is complete, the efficiency of safety checks will decrease. However, conventional technology cannot cope with situations where image adjustment is interrupted during the display control of an electronic mirror.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention aims to suppress insufficient display in the adjustment of the display control of images around a vehicle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above objective, one representative display control device of the present invention is a display control device that controls the display of an image taken of the surroundings and / or interior of a vehicle, comprising: a display that displays an image taken of the surroundings and / or interior of the vehicle; an input receiving unit that receives input for an operation to adjust the image; an image adjustment unit that adjusts the image based on the operation; a storage unit that stores confirmed setting information regarding the image adjustment before the operation is performed and intermediate setting information that reflects the operation; an end operation determination unit that determines whether an end operation to end the image adjustment operation has been received; and a vehicle state detection unit that detects whether the vehicle is in a driving state, wherein the image adjustment unit displays an image taken of the surroundings and / or interior of the vehicle on the display based on the confirmed setting information when the end operation determination unit determines that an end operation has not been received and the vehicle state detection unit detects that the vehicle is in a driving state. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, insufficient display can be suppressed in the adjustment of the display control of images around a vehicle, etc. Other problems, configurations, and effects will be clarified by the following description of embodiments. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] Diagram illustrating an electronic mirror system. [Figure 2] An explanatory diagram on how to adjust the image on the passenger-side display. [Figure 3] A diagram showing the configuration of the display control device 20. [Figure 4] A flowchart for adjusting the image on the passenger-side display. [Figure 5] Flowchart for adjusting the image on the driver's side display (Part 1). [Figure 6] Flowchart for adjusting the image on the driver's side display (Part 2). [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] The following examples will be described with reference to the drawings. [Examples]

[0010] Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram of the electronic mirror system. Vehicle 10 has a driver's seat on the right and a passenger seat on the left. Vehicle 10 has a camera 11R outside the driver's seat and a camera 11L outside the passenger seat. Camera 11R captures the right rear of vehicle 10. Camera 11L captures the left rear of vehicle 10.

[0011] Display 21R and display 21L are installed inside vehicle 10. Display 21R displays images captured by camera 11R, providing a function that corresponds to the door mirror for viewing the right rear. The 21L display provides a function that corresponds to the door mirror, which provides a view of the left rear, by displaying the image captured by the 11L camera.

[0012] The display 21R is positioned, for example, near the right front pillar. The display 21L is positioned, for example, near the left front pillar. Because the display 21R is close to the driver's seat, the user seated in the driver's seat can directly operate the display 21R. Specifically, by superimposing a touch panel on the display 21R, it is possible to adjust the image displayed on the display 21R using the touch panel. Image adjustments include changing the angle, zooming in and out, etc. For example, a slide operation could be made to change the angle, a pinch-out operation to zoom in, and a pinch-in operation to zoom out.

[0013] Since the display 21L is far from the driver's seat, it is difficult for a user seated in the driver's seat to operate the display 21L directly. Therefore, the display control device 20, described later, uses the display 21R to adjust the image displayed by the display 21L.

[0014] Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram regarding the adjustment of the image on the passenger-side display. First, in display state G1, display 21L displays an image of the left rear of vehicle 10, and display 21R displays an image of the right rear of vehicle 10. This display state G1 is used when vehicle 10 is in motion, etc.

[0015] When the vehicle 10 stops in display state G1, and the touch panel superimposed on display 21R receives an operation to start adjusting display 21L, the display transitions to display state G2. In display state G2, display 21L displays an image of the left rear of the vehicle 10, and display 21R displays the same image as display 21L.

[0016] In the display state G2, when the touch panel superimposed on the display 21R accepts an operation to adjust an image (such as a slide operation, a pinch-in operation, a pinch-out operation, etc.), the display state transitions to G3. In the display state G3, the display 21R adjusts the image to be displayed corresponding to the accepted operation. The display 21L displays the same image as the display 21R. In this way, the displays of the display 21R and the display 21L are synchronized, and the adjustment of the image on the display 21L can be performed by operating the touch panel on the display 21R. Therefore, the user seated in the driver's seat can check the actual visibility of the display 21L and can adjust it with high operability while looking at the display on the display 21R.

[0017] In the display state G3, when the touch panel superimposed on the display 21R accepts an operation to end the adjustment, the display state transitions to G4. In the display state G4, the display 21L reflects the adjustment in the display state G3. Also, the display 21R displays the original display, that is, an image of the right rear of the vehicle 10. When the vehicle 10 travels in the display state G4, the user seated in the driver's seat can perform a safety check with the image reflecting the adjustment in the display state G3.

[0018] In the display state G3, if the vehicle 10 starts to travel before the touch panel superimposed on the display 21R accepts an operation to end the adjustment, the display state returns to G1. That is, the adjustment in the display state G3 is not reflected, and the image before adjustment is displayed. Therefore, even if the vehicle 10 starts to travel before the adjustment is completed, a situation where an image with insufficient visibility for the user is displayed on the display 21L does not occur. Note that the adjustment in the display state G3 is separately stored as information during the adjustment, and if the vehicle 10 stops, the adjustment can be restarted from the display state G3.

[0019] FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram showing the configuration of the display control device 20. The display control device 20 is connected to the camera 11L, the camera 11R, the drive control unit 13, etc. The drive control unit 13 is a group of units that perform vehicle acceleration / deceleration control, steering control, etc.

[0020] The display control device 20 includes a display 21, an input receiving unit 22, a vehicle state detection unit 23, a storage unit 24, and a control unit 25. The control unit 25 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and implements the functions of an image adjustment unit 31 and a termination operation determination unit 32.

[0021] As already explained, camera 11R captures an image of the right rear of vehicle 10, that is, the area behind the driver's side. For convenience, the right rear of vehicle 10 will be referred to as the first range. Camera 11L captures an image of the left rear of vehicle 10, that is, the area behind the passenger side. For convenience, the left rear of vehicle 10 will be referred to as the second range.

[0022] Display 21 includes Display 21R and Display 21L. Display 21R is a first display that displays an image within a first range when the vehicle 10 is in motion. Display 21R is located on the driver's side, for example, on the right front pillar. Display 21L is a second display that shows images of a second range while the vehicle 10 is in motion. Display 21L is located on the passenger side, for example, on the left front pillar.

[0023] The input receiving unit 22 receives input for operations to adjust the images displayed on the displays 21R and 21RL. However, if the vehicle 10 is moving during the image adjustment process, the input receiving unit 22 will not accept input for the image adjustment operation. Specifically, if the vehicle 10 is moving during the image adjustment process, this refers to the case where the termination operation determination unit 32 (described later) determines that a termination operation has not been received, and the vehicle status detection unit 23 detects that the vehicle is in a driving state. The input receiving unit 22 is positioned in a location where it can be operated by a user seated in the driver's seat. For example, it is preferable that the input receiving unit 22 be a touch panel positioned in correspondence with the display 21R.

[0024] The vehicle state detection unit 23 detects whether the vehicle 10 is in a driving state. Specifically, the vehicle state detection unit 23 acquires shift information, handbrake information, speed information, etc. from the drive control unit 13 to detect whether the vehicle is in a driving state or not.

[0025] The memory unit 24 is a storage device such as a hard disk drive, and stores a fixed setting value 41 and an intermediate setting value 42. The fixed setting value 41 includes a fixed setting value 41R and a fixed setting value 41L. The intermediate setting value 42 includes an intermediate setting value 42R and an intermediate setting value 42L.

[0026] The confirmed setting value 41R is setting information related to the adjustment of the image displayed by the display 21R. Specifically, the confirmed setting value 41R indicates which range of the image captured by the camera 11R will be displayed. It may also indicate settings related to the camera 11R's imaging direction and optical zoom. When the user adjusts the image on the display 21R, the values ​​of the various settings on the display 21R change accordingly. When the termination operation is performed, the values ​​of the various settings are finalized, and the storage unit 24 updates the confirmed setting value 41R with the finalized values. If the vehicle 10 starts moving without the termination operation being performed, the storage unit 24 stores the values ​​of the various settings on the display 21R at that time as the intermediate setting value 42R.

[0027] The confirmed setting value 41L is setting information related to the adjustment of the image displayed by the display 21L. Specifically, the confirmed setting value 41L indicates which range of the image captured by the camera 11L will be displayed. It may also indicate settings related to the camera 11L's imaging direction and optical zoom. When the user adjusts the image on the display 21L, the values ​​of the various settings on the display 21L change accordingly. When the termination operation is performed, the values ​​of the various settings are finalized, and the storage unit 24 updates the confirmed setting value 41L with the finalized settings. If the vehicle 10 starts moving without the termination operation being performed, the storage unit 24 stores the values ​​of the various settings on the display 21L at that time as the intermediate setting value 42L. If the user has never adjusted the image before, the default settings 41R and 41L will represent the various settings given as initial values.

[0028] The image adjustment unit 31 adjusts the image to be displayed on the display 21 based on the operation performed on the input reception unit 22. Then, if the termination operation determination unit 32 receives a termination operation, the image adjustment unit 31 confirms the settings and updates the confirmed setting value 41 in the storage unit 24. On the other hand, if the termination operation determination unit 32 determines that it has not received a termination operation and the vehicle status detection unit 23 detects that the vehicle is in a driving state, the image adjustment unit 31 displays an image of the area around the vehicle 10 on the display 21 based on the confirmed setting value 41 in the storage unit 24. In this case, since the confirmed setting value 41 in the storage unit 24 has not been updated, the image will be displayed with the setting value before the adjustment was performed. The image adjustment unit 31 also stores the contents of the adjustment as an intermediate setting value 42 in the storage unit 24. The intermediate setting value 42 is used when resuming an interrupted adjustment.

[0029] Specifically, when the vehicle state detection unit 23 detects that the vehicle 10 has stopped, the image adjustment unit 31 determines whether or not there is an intermediate setting value 42 in the memory unit 24. If there is an intermediate setting value 42, the image adjustment unit 31 adjusts the image captured around the vehicle 10 based on the intermediate setting value 42 and displays it on the display 21. At this time, the input reception unit 22 receives input for the image adjustment operation.

[0030] Here, when the image adjustment unit 31 adjusts the image to be displayed on the display 21L, it displays the image that the display 21L displays on the display 21R and makes adjustments based on the operation received by the input reception unit 22. At this time, the display 21L and the display 21R will display the same image.

[0031] The termination operation determination unit 32 determines whether it has received a termination operation to end the image adjustment operation. The termination operation may be, for example, an operation on a button displayed on the touch panel, or a physical key may be assigned to it.

[0032] Figure 4 is a flowchart for adjusting the image on the passenger-side display. The image on the passenger-side display 21L is adjusted by sequentially executing the following steps S101 to S113. In step S101, the input receiving unit 22 receives a button press to adjust the passenger seat image. The process then proceeds to step S102. Step S102: The vehicle status detection unit 23 determines whether the vehicle is in a driving state. If it is in a driving state (Step S102; Yes), the process ends. If it is not in a driving state (Step S102; No), the process proceeds to step S103.

[0033] Step S103 The image adjustment unit 31 determines whether or not the intermediate setting value 42L is stored in the memory unit 24. If the intermediate setting value 42L is not stored (Step S103; No), proceed to step S104. If the intermediate setting value 42L is stored (Step S103; Yes), proceed to step S105.

[0034] In step S104, the image adjustment unit 31 reads the confirmed setting value 41L from the memory unit 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S106. In step S105, the image adjustment unit 31 reads the intermediate setting value 42L from the memory unit 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S106.

[0035] Step S106: The driver's side display 21R displays the image from the passenger side display 21L. At this time, the setting value read in step S104 or step S105 is used. After step S106, proceed to step S107.

[0036] Step S107 The image adjustment unit 31 adjusts the passenger-side image displayed on the driver's side display 21R based on the touch operation. The image on the passenger-side display 21L is also synchronized. Then the process proceeds to step S108.

[0037] Step S108 The termination operation determination unit 32 determines whether it has received a termination operation to end the image adjustment operation. If a termination operation has been received (Step S108; Yes), proceed to step S109. If a termination operation has not been received (Step S108; No), proceed to step S111.

[0038] In step S109, the image adjustment unit 31 updates the fixed setting value 41L in the memory unit 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S110. In step S110, the image adjustment unit 31 erases the intermediate setting value 42L in the storage unit 24. After that, the process is terminated.

[0039] Step S111: The vehicle status detection unit 23 determines whether the vehicle is in a driving state. If it is not in a driving state (Step S111; No), return to step S107. If it is in a driving state (Step S111; Yes), proceed to step S112.

[0040] In step S112, the image adjustment unit 31 stores the current setting value as an intermediate setting value 42L in the memory unit 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S113. In step S113, the image adjustment unit 31 reads the confirmed setting value 41L from the storage unit 24 and displays the image on the display 21L based on the confirmed setting value 41L. It also reads the confirmed setting value 41R from the storage unit 24 and displays the image on the display 21R based on the confirmed setting value 41R. After that, the process ends.

[0041] Figure 5 is a flowchart for adjusting the image on the driver's side display. The image on the driver's side display 21R is adjusted by sequentially executing the following steps S201 to S212. In step S201, the input reception unit 22 receives a button press to adjust the driver's seat image. The process then proceeds to step S202. Step S202: The vehicle status detection unit 23 determines whether the vehicle is in a driving state. If it is in a driving state (Step S202; Yes), the process ends. If it is not in a driving state (Step S202; No), the process proceeds to step S203.

[0042] Step S203 The image adjustment unit 31 determines whether or not the intermediate setting value 42R is stored in the memory unit 24. If the intermediate setting value 42R is not stored (Step S203; No), proceed to step S204. If the intermediate setting value 42R is stored (Step S203; Yes), proceed to step S205.

[0043] In step S204, the image adjustment unit 31 reads the confirmed setting value 41R from the memory unit 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S206. In step S205, the image adjustment unit 31 reads the intermediate setting value 42R from the memory unit 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S206.

[0044] Step S206 The driver's side display 21R displays using the settings read in step S204 or step S205. The image adjustment unit 31 adjusts the driver's side image displayed on the driver's side display 21R based on the touch operation. The image on the passenger side display 21L is maintained. Then proceed to step S207.

[0045] Step S207 The termination operation determination unit 32 determines whether it has received a termination operation to end the image adjustment operation. If it has received a termination operation (Step S207; Yes), proceed to step S208. If it has not received a termination operation (Step S207; No), proceed to step S210.

[0046] In step S208, the image adjustment unit 31 updates the fixed setting value 41R in the memory unit 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S209. In step S209, the image adjustment unit 31 erases the intermediate setting value 42R in the storage unit 24. After that, the process ends.

[0047] Step S210: The vehicle status detection unit 23 determines whether the vehicle is in a driving state. If it is not in a driving state (Step S210; No), return to step S206. If it is in a driving state (Step S210; Yes), proceed to step S211.

[0048] In step S211, the image adjustment unit 31 stores the current setting value as an intermediate setting value 42R in the memory unit 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S212. In step S212, the image adjustment unit 31 reads the confirmed setting value 41R from the storage unit 24 and displays the image on the display 21R based on the confirmed setting value 41R. The display on the display 21L remains unchanged. After that, the process ends.

[0049] In the flowchart shown in Figure 5, even when the adjustment of the image on the driver's side display 21R is interrupted, the intermediate setting value 42R is stored and the final setting value 41R before adjustment is read out. As a variation, when the adjustment of the image on the driver's side display 21R is interrupted, the setting value at that point may be used as the final setting value 41R. This is because the adjustment of the image on the driver's side display 21R can be performed by direct operation, and continuing to use the display state at the time of interruption will not cause confusion for the user.

[0050] Figure 6 is a flowchart showing the adjustment of the image on the driver's side display in the modified example. The image on the driver's side display 21R in the modified example is adjusted by sequentially executing the following steps S301 to S307. In step S301, the input reception unit 22 receives a button press to adjust the image of the driver's seat. The process then proceeds to step S302. Step S302: The vehicle status detection unit 23 determines whether the vehicle is in a driving state. If it is in a driving state (Step S302; Yes), the process ends. If it is not in a driving state (Step S302; No), the process proceeds to step S303.

[0051] In step S303, the image adjustment unit 31 reads the confirmed setting value 41R from the memory unit 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S304. Step S304: The driver's side display 21R displays using the settings read in step S303. The image adjustment unit 31 adjusts the driver's side image displayed on the driver's side display 21R based on the touch operation. The image on the passenger side display 21L remains unchanged. Then, the process proceeds to step S305.

[0052] Step S305 The termination operation determination unit 32 determines whether it has received a termination operation to end the image adjustment operation. If a termination operation has been received (Step S305; Yes), proceed to step S307. If a termination operation has not been received (Step S305; No), proceed to step S306.

[0053] Step S306: The vehicle status detection unit 23 determines whether the vehicle is in a driving state. If it is not in a driving state (Step S306; No), the process returns to Step S304. If it is in a driving state (Step S306; Yes), the process proceeds to Step S307. Step S307 The image adjustment unit 31 updates the confirmed setting value 41R in the storage unit 24. After that, the process ends.

[0054] As described above, the disclosed display control device 20 is a display control device that controls the display of images taken of the surroundings and / or interior of a vehicle 10, and comprises: a display 21 that displays images taken of the surroundings and / or interior of the vehicle 10; an input receiving unit 22 that receives input for an operation to adjust the image; an image adjustment unit 31 that adjusts the image based on the operation; a storage unit 24 that stores confirmed setting information regarding the image adjustment before the operation is performed and intermediate setting information that reflects the operation; an end operation determination unit 32 that determines whether an end operation to end the image adjustment operation has been received; and a vehicle state detection unit 23 that detects whether the vehicle 10 is in a driving state. The image adjustment unit 31 then displays images taken of the surroundings and / or interior of the vehicle on the display 21 based on the confirmed setting information when the end operation determination unit 32 determines that an end operation has not been received and the vehicle state detection unit 23 detects that the vehicle is in a driving state. With this configuration and operation, if image adjustment is interrupted, the image before adjustment can be displayed, thus preventing insufficient display when adjusting the display control of images around the vehicle.

[0055] Furthermore, when the termination operation determination unit 32 determines that the termination operation has not been accepted, and the vehicle state detection unit 23 detects that the vehicle is in the driving state, the storage unit 24 stores the state of the image at the time the vehicle state detection unit 23 detected that the vehicle was in the driving state as the intermediate setting information. Therefore, the display control device 20 can retain the information about the interrupted adjustment and use it when the adjustment is resumed.

[0056] Furthermore, the input receiving unit 22 does not accept input for the operation to adjust the image when the termination operation determination unit 32 determines that the termination operation has not been accepted, and the vehicle state detection unit 23 detects that the vehicle is in the driving state. Therefore, the display control device 20 can prevent situations in which the image display settings change while the vehicle is in motion.

[0057] Furthermore, when the vehicle state detection unit 23 detects that the vehicle 10 has stopped, the image adjustment unit 31 determines whether or not the intermediate setting information is present in the storage unit 24. If the intermediate setting information is present, it adjusts the image captured of the area around the vehicle 10 and / or the interior of the vehicle based on the intermediate setting information and displays it on the display 21. The input reception unit 22 accepts input for the operation to adjust the image. Therefore, the display control device 20 can resume the interrupted adjustment when the vehicle 10 stops after the adjustment has been interrupted.

[0058] Furthermore, the display control device 20 includes a first display 21R that displays an image of a first range of the area around the vehicle and / or inside the vehicle during the driving state, and a second display 21L that displays an image of a second range of the area around the vehicle and / or inside the vehicle during the driving state. The input receiving unit 22 is a touch panel arranged in correspondence with the first display 21R, and the image adjustment unit 31, when adjusting the image to be displayed on the second display 21L, displays the image displayed on the second display 21L on the first display 21R and performs the adjustment based on the operation received by the input receiving unit 22. Furthermore, when adjusting the image displayed on the second display 21L, the image adjustment unit 31 displays the same image on both the second display 21L and the first display 21R. Furthermore, the first range is located to the rear and side of the driver's seat, and the first display is positioned on the driver's seat side. The second range is located to the rear and side of the passenger's seat, and the second display is positioned on the passenger's seat side. With this configuration and operation, a user seated in the driver's seat can adjust the image on the display 21L, which is difficult to access, using the display 21R and input receiving unit 22, which are within reach. Furthermore, a user seated in the driver's seat can adjust the image using the display 21R and the input receiving unit 22 while checking the display on the display 21L.

[0059] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications are included. For example, the embodiments described above are explained in detail to make the present invention easier to understand, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the configurations described. Furthermore, it is possible to replace or add configurations, not just delete them.

[0060] For example, in the above embodiment, the driver's side display 21R and the passenger side display 21L were described as examples, but the present invention can be applied to any electronic mirror mounted on a vehicle. In particular, the present invention is effective in configurations where there is a display positioned to be accessible to the user and a display positioned to be difficult to access, and the image displayed by the display in the difficult-to-access position can be adjusted using the accessible display. Specifically, the present invention can be applied to rearview mirrors and mirrors used for forward visibility in large vehicles. Furthermore, the present invention may also be applied to the passenger-side mirror. In a configuration where the present invention is applied to the passenger-side mirror, the passenger-side display becomes a touchable display, while the driver-side display becomes a difficult-to-touch display.
