Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the configuration described in Patent Document 1, when the driving mode is the automatic driving mode, the display content displayed on the display device does not sufficiently provide useful information for the passengers riding in the vehicle during automatic driving. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the content and display mode displayed on the display device during the automatic driving mode.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a display control device for a vehicle that can clearly convey the merits of the vehicle running in the automatic driving mode to the passengers of the vehicle.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The present invention relates to a control device mounted on a vehicle capable of switching between a manual driving mode and an automatic driving mode, and is a vehicle display control device that controls a display device provided in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, characterized in that when the driving mode is switched from the manual driving mode to the automatic driving mode, the display mode of the display device is switched from a first display mode corresponding to the manual driving mode to a second display mode corresponding to the automatic driving mode, and in the second display mode, information indicating the amount of energy saved by driving in at least the automatic driving mode is displayed.

[0007] With this configuration, the information displayed on the display device during autonomous driving mode differs from the information displayed in the first display mode, which corresponds to manual driving mode. In addition, in the second display mode, the display device shows information indicating the amount of energy saved by driving in autonomous driving mode. This makes it possible to clearly communicate the benefits of driving the vehicle in autonomous driving mode to the vehicle's occupants.

[0008] Furthermore, in the first display mode, an image indicating the remaining driving range of the vehicle while driving in manual driving mode can be displayed in a first display mode, which is a predetermined display configuration, within the display area of ​​the display device. In the second display mode, an image indicating the amount of energy saved by driving in automatic driving mode may be displayed in a second display mode, which is a more prominent display configuration than the first display configuration, within the central display area of ​​the display area.

[0009] With this configuration, an image showing the amount of energy saved by driving in autonomous driving mode can be displayed in a second display mode that is more prominent than the first display mode in the central display area of ​​the display device.

[0010] Furthermore, the vehicle is an electric vehicle equipped with a motor for driving and a battery that supplies power to the motor, and the second display mode includes a third display mode that prioritizes the display of information related to the battery, and in the third display mode, an image showing the amount of energy saved by driving in the automatic driving mode and an image showing the cruising range when the vehicle is driven using the power of the battery may be displayed in the central display area in the second display mode.

[0011] With this configuration, when an electric vehicle is driving in autonomous driving mode, an image showing the amount of energy saved by driving in autonomous driving mode and the remaining driving range in EV mode can be displayed in the central display area of ​​the display device in a second display mode that is more prominent than the first display mode.

[0012] Furthermore, the second display mode includes a normal display mode in which an image is displayed in the same first display manner as the first display mode, and if the operating mode is the automatic operating mode, the third display mode may be prioritized over the normal display mode as the display mode of the display device.

[0013] This configuration allows the third display mode to be prioritized over the normal display mode during autonomous driving mode.

[0014] Furthermore, the second display mode includes a normal display mode in which images are displayed in the same first display manner as the first display mode, and a fourth display mode in which environmental information and economic information are displayed preferentially. In the fourth display mode, an image showing the amount of energy saved by driving in the automatic driving mode and an image showing the electricity consumption are displayed in the central display area in the second display manner. When the driving mode is the automatic driving mode, the fourth display mode may be prioritized over the normal display mode as the display mode of the display device.

[0015] This configuration allows the fourth display mode to be prioritized over the normal display mode during autonomous driving mode. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] In the present invention, the information displayed on the display device during the automatic driving mode is different from the information displayed in the first display mode corresponding to the manual driving mode. Also, in the second display mode, information indicating the amount of energy savings achieved by driving in the automatic driving mode is displayed on the display device. Thereby, the merits of the vehicle traveling in the automatic driving mode can be easily conveyed to the passengers of the vehicle.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Hereinafter, the vehicle display control device in an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

[0019] FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the overall configuration of a vehicle in an embodiment. The vehicle 1 includes a motor (MG) 2 as a power source and a battery 3 that stores electric power to be supplied to the motor 2. The vehicle 1 travels by supplying the electric power of the battery 3 to the motor 2 to drive the motor 2. In this vehicle 1, the power output from the motor 2 is transmitted to the wheels 5 via a transaxle (T / A) 4. For example, the vehicle 1 is composed of an electric vehicle (BEV), a hybrid vehicle (HEV), a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV), or the like.

[0020] In addition, the vehicle 1 includes a power control unit (hereinafter referred to as PCU) 6, an auxiliary battery 7, an AC charger 8, an AC charging port 9, an AC relay (hereinafter referred to as ACR) 10, a DC charging port 11, a DC relay (hereinafter referred to as DCR) 12, and a system main relay (hereinafter referred to as SMR) 13. The vehicle 1 is equipped with a battery pack 14 including the battery 3, the ACR 10, the DCR 12, and the SMR 13. This vehicle 1 can charge the battery 3 with the electric power supplied from an external power source. The vehicle 1 shown in FIG. 1 is an electric vehicle capable of external charging.

[0021] The PCU 6 is a power conversion unit including an inverter 15 that drives the motor 2 and a DCDC converter (DDC) 16 that supplies power to the auxiliary battery 7. The motor 2 is electrically connected to the battery 3 via the inverter 15. The battery 3 is a high-voltage battery that stores the electric power to be supplied to the motor 2. The battery 3 is composed of a secondary battery such as a lithium-ion battery or a lead-acid battery, for example. This battery 3 is composed of including a battery module composed of a plurality of battery cells. The inverter 15 converts the power of the battery 3 and supplies it to the motor 2. The inverter 15 has a plurality of switching elements and is configured such that the switching elements perform a switching operation.

[0022] The auxiliary battery 7 is a low-voltage battery that discharges and charges low-voltage power that allows the auxiliary equipment to operate. The auxiliary battery 7 is composed of a secondary battery such as a lithium-ion battery or a lead-acid battery. The auxiliary battery 7 is electrically connected to the DC-DC converter 16 via a low-voltage line. Power output from the DC-DC converter 16 can charge the auxiliary battery 7. The voltage of the auxiliary battery 7 is lower than the voltage of the battery 3 included in the battery pack 14, for example, about 12V. The DC-DC converter 16 is a converter that functions as an auxiliary DC-DC converter. The DC-DC converter 16 is also electrically connected to the battery 3. The battery 3 can supply high-voltage power to the DC-DC converter 16. The DC-DC converter 16 steps down the high-voltage DC voltage of the battery 3 to a low-voltage DC voltage and supplies that stepped-down DC voltage to the auxiliary battery 7.

[0023] Vehicle 1 can charge battery 3 by supplying AC power from an external AC power source to battery 3 via AC charging port 9, AC charger 8, and ACR10 as AC charging. For example, in a charging stand equipped with an AC power source as an external power source, the AC charging cable of the charging stand is connected to AC charging port 9. AC charging port 9 is electrically connected to AC charger 8. AC charger 8 converts AC power supplied from an external AC charging cable via AC charging port 9 into DC power. ACR10 is a charging relay installed between AC charger 8 and battery 3. When ACR10 is closed, the DC power converted by AC charger 8 is supplied from AC charger 8 to battery 3 via ACR10.

[0024] Vehicle 1 can charge battery 3 by supplying DC power from an external DC power source to battery 3 via DC charging port 11, DCR 12, and SMR 13 as DC charging. For example, in a charging stand equipped with a DC power source as an external power source, the DC charging cable of the charging stand is connected to DC charging port 11. DC charging port 11 is electrically connected to DCR 12. DCR 12 is a charging relay provided between DC charging port 11 and SMR 13. SMR 13 is a relay provided between DCR 12 and battery 3. When DCR 12 is closed and SMR 13 is closed, DC power supplied from an external DC power source via DC charging port 11 is supplied from DCR 12 to battery 3 via SMR 13.

[0025] Vehicle 1 also includes a cooling circuit 20 through which coolant circulates to cool the PCU 6. The cooling circuit 20 includes an AC charger 8. The cooling circuit 20 cools the PCU 6 and the AC charger 8 with coolant. The cooling circuit 20 includes a water pump (W / P) 21, a radiator 22, and an oil cooler (O / C) 23.

[0026] The water pump 21 discharges coolant from its outlet, pressurizing it into the cooling circuit 20. The coolant discharged from the water pump 21 is supplied to the radiator 22. The radiator 22 is a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the coolant and the outside air, releasing the heat from the coolant into the outside air. The coolant that has been air-cooled in the radiator 22 is supplied to the PCU 6. After cooling the PCU 6, the coolant flows into the AC charger 8. After cooling the AC charger 8, the coolant flows into the oil cooler 23. The oil cooler 23 is a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the oil in the transaxle 4 and the coolant in the cooling circuit 20. The oil cooler 23 cools the oil in the transaxle 4. The oil in the transaxle 4 is the oil contained within the transaxle case, and functions as a lubricating oil to lubricate the transaxle 4 and a cooling oil to cool the motor 2. The transaxle 4 and the motor 2 are contained within the transaxle case. The coolant, after heat exchange in the oil cooler 23, is drawn in through the intake port of the water pump 21.

[0027] Vehicle 1 also includes an automatic driving ECU 30 and a display control ECU 40.

[0028] The Automated Driving ECU 30 is an electronic control unit that controls the automated driving of vehicle 1. The Automated Driving ECU 30 comprises a processor and memory. The processor consists of a CPU, etc. The memory is a main memory device and consists of RAM, ROM, etc. The Automated Driving ECU 30 loads a program stored in the storage unit into the working area of ​​the memory (main memory device) and executes it, and by controlling each component through the execution of the program, it realizes a function that matches a predetermined purpose. Signals from various sensors mounted on vehicle 1 are input to the Automated Driving ECU 30. The Automated Driving ECU 30 performs automated driving control based on the signals input from the various sensors.

[0029] Specifically, Vehicle 1 can be driven by switching between manual driving mode and automatic driving mode. When the driving mode is manual driving mode, Vehicle 1 is driven by a driver who is in Vehicle 1 and manually operates the vehicle. When the driving mode is automatic driving mode, Vehicle 1 is driven by the automatic driving ECU 30 executing automatic driving control without requiring any operation by the driver. The automatic driving mode makes it possible to control at least a part of acceleration / deceleration and steering without driver operation. When the automatic driving ECU 30 executes automatic driving control, it outputs control signals to various actuators to control the operation of various actuators. The actuators controlled by the automatic driving ECU 30 include drive actuators, brake actuators, and steering actuators.

[0030] The drive actuator is an actuator that outputs power to vehicle 1. The braking actuator is an actuator that generates braking force for vehicle 1. The steering actuator is an actuator that changes the steering angle. Motor 2 is a power source for vehicle 1 and is also capable of regenerative braking, so it is included in both the drive actuator and the braking actuator.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2, the display control ECU 40 is an electronic control device that controls the display content of the display device 41. The display control ECU 40 is a control device mounted on a vehicle 1 that can switch between manual driving mode and automatic driving mode, and is a vehicle display control device that controls the display device 41 provided in the passenger compartment of the vehicle 1.

[0032] The display control ECU 40 comprises a processor 40A and a memory 40B. The hardware configuration of the display control ECU 40 is the same as that of the autonomous driving ECU 30. The processor 40A consists of a CPU and the like. The memory 40B is a main memory and consists of RAM, ROM, and the like. The display control ECU 40 loads a program stored in the memory into the working area of ​​the memory 40B and executes it, and by controlling each component through the execution of the program, it realizes a function that matches a predetermined purpose. Signals from various sensors 42 mounted on the vehicle 1 are input to the display control ECU 40. The display control ECU 40 performs display control based on the signals input from the sensors 42.

[0033] The display device 41 is a display located inside the vehicle 1. The display device 41 includes a meter panel capable of displaying meters such as a speedometer facing the driver. The display device 41 also displays information input from the display control ECU 40 within its display area. The content displayed on the display device 41 is controlled by the display control ECU 40.

[0034] The display control ECU 40 switches the display mode of the display device 41 according to the driving mode of the vehicle 1. The display modes include a first display mode selected when the driving mode is manual driving mode and a second display mode selected when the driving mode is automatic driving mode. The display content and display manner displayed on the display device 41 differ between the first display mode and the second display mode. The display manner includes the size, color, brightness, and blinking of the image. When the driving mode is manual driving mode, the display control ECU 40 determines the display mode to the normal display mode (first display mode). When the driving mode switches from manual driving mode to automatic driving mode, the display control ECU 40 automatically switches the display mode of the display device 41 from the first display mode corresponding to manual driving mode to the second display mode corresponding to automatic driving mode.

[0035] More specifically, the first display mode includes the normal display mode. The normal display mode is a basic mode in which various information is displayed in a predetermined display configuration, the first display configuration. In the normal display mode, which is the first display mode, it is possible to display an image showing the remaining range of the vehicle 1 while it is driving in manual driving mode within the display area of ​​the display device 41 in the first display configuration.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3, in normal display mode, the vehicle speed 101, shift position 102, and ring-shaped power meter 103 are mainly displayed in the central display area of ​​the display unit 50 of the display device 41. The remaining range 104, clock 105, and outside temperature 106 are also displayed within the central display area of ​​the display unit 50, but are displayed in a smaller size than the vehicle speed 101 and shift position 102. In addition, in the display configuration of normal display mode, the battery 3 charge indicator 107 and the multi-information display area 108 are located outside the central display area of ​​the display unit 50. The size of the characters displayed in the battery 3 charge indicator 107 and the multi-information display area 108 is smaller than the size of the characters displayed for the vehicle speed 101 and shift position 102. The multi-information display area 108 displays the remaining range and the average vehicle speed after starting.

[0037] The second display mode displays an image showing the amount of energy saved by driving in automatic driving mode in a more prominent display mode than the first display mode in the central display area of ​​the display device 41. The second display mode includes a battery information priority mode and an environmental / economic information priority mode. The battery information priority mode is a third display mode that prioritizes the display of information related to the battery 3. The environmental / economic information priority mode is a fourth display mode that prioritizes the display of environmental and economic information. The display control ECU 40 can switch between the normal display mode, which is the first display mode, the battery information priority mode, which is both the second and third display modes, and the environmental / economic information priority mode, which is both the second and fourth display modes. Note that the second display mode does not need to be limited to the central display area; the amount of energy saved can be displayed in any display area of ​​the display device 41.

[0038] As shown in Figure 4, the display content and layout of the display unit 50 differ from those of the first display mode in the battery information priority mode. In the display mode of the battery information priority mode, the battery information 200 is mainly displayed in the central display area of ​​the display unit 50. The battery information 200 is information related to the battery 3. The battery information 200 includes the estimated time of arrival at the destination 201, the distance to the destination 202, the remaining EV range 203, the estimated charging time 204, and the SOC 205. In the battery information mode, the clock 105, the vehicle speed 101, and the shift position 102 are arranged outside the central display area of ​​the display unit 50 where the battery information 200 is displayed. Also, in the battery information mode, the font size of the characters displayed for the battery information 200 is larger than the font size of the characters for the vehicle speed 101 and the shift position 102.

[0039] As shown in Figure 5, in the environmental / economic information priority mode, the display content and layout shown on the display unit 50 differ from both the first display mode and the battery information priority mode. In the display mode of environmental / economic information priority mode, the layout mainly displays environmental information and economic information in the central display area of ​​the display unit 50. The environmental and economic information includes electricity consumption 301, fuel efficiency 302, energy saving information 303, electricity consumption ranking 304, and power saving (cost) 305. In environmental / economic information priority mode, at least one of the following information is displayed on the display unit 50 as the amount of energy saved by the vehicle 1 running in automatic driving mode: electricity consumption 301, fuel efficiency 302, and energy saving information 303. An example of the amount of energy saved is the amount of energy saved by switching from manual driving to automatic driving (the difference between automatic driving and manual driving).

[0040] Electricity consumption 301 represents the electricity consumption when driving using the power of battery 3. Fuel efficiency 302 represents the fuel efficiency when driving using the engine, if vehicle 1 is a hybrid vehicle equipped with an engine and motor 2. Energy saving information 303 represents the energy reduction effect by driving in automatic driving mode. Electricity consumption ranking 304 may include an electricity consumption ranking within the driver's own driving history by comparing it with personal driving information, or an electricity consumption ranking among drivers nationwide by comparing it with nationwide driving information. Power saving 305 can represent the power saving effect by reducing the airflow of the air conditioning system and the information obtained by converting that power saving into a monetary value. In this way, the environmental / economic information priority mode can present information showing the environmental benefits of automatic driving and the economic benefits of saving electricity in an easy-to-understand manner to the passengers of vehicle 1.

[0041] For example, in autonomous driving mode, the display control ECU 40 can switch the display mode between battery information priority mode and environmental / economic information priority mode by accepting a selection from the occupant of vehicle 1. The sensors 42 include a switch for switching the display mode. When this switch is operated by the occupant while vehicle 1 is in autonomous driving mode, the display control ECU 40 switches the display mode from battery information priority mode to environmental / economic information priority mode, or from environmental / economic information priority mode to battery information priority mode. Furthermore, it is also possible to individually select the information to be displayed on the display device 41, rather than the display mode itself, by operating the sensors 42. Based on signals from the inputs included in the sensors 41, the display control ECU 40 can generate a display image containing the information selected by the occupant of vehicle 1 and display that image data on the display device 41.

[0042] Furthermore, when the driving mode is automatic driving mode, the display control ECU 40 prioritizes the second display mode over the first display mode. The display mode switching switch included in the sensors 42 includes a switch that switches between the first display mode and the second display mode. In this case, the occupant of vehicle 1 can select the first display mode even during automatic driving by operating the switch. In short, the display control ECU 40 automatically selects the second display mode when the driving mode switches to automatic driving mode, thus prioritizing the second display mode over the first display mode when the driving mode is automatic driving mode. Moreover, if the display mode is switched from the second display mode to the first display mode in response to a switch operation during automatic driving, the display control ECU 40 controls this display switch as a temporary switch. For example, if a predetermined time has elapsed since the display switch during automatic driving, the display control ECU 40 controls it to automatically return to the second display mode. In this way, the display control ECU 40 allows the occupant to switch the display mode in response to a switch operation during automatic driving, while prioritizing the second display mode over the first display mode. When the driving mode is automatic driving mode, the display control ECU 40 determines the display mode to either battery information priority mode or environmental / economic information priority mode.

[0043] As described above, according to the embodiment, the information displayed in the central display area of ​​the display device 41 during automatic driving mode is different from the information displayed in the central display area of ​​the display device 41 in the first display mode corresponding to manual driving mode, and information indicating the amount of energy saved by driving in automatic driving mode can be displayed in the central display area of ​​the display device 41. This makes it possible to clearly communicate to the passengers of vehicle 1 the benefits of driving vehicle 1 in automatic driving mode.

[0044] Furthermore, during autonomous driving, battery information 200 and energy savings can be displayed on the display device 41, allowing the environmental and economic benefits to be presented to the passengers of vehicle 1. In addition, passengers of vehicle 1 can select the display screen and the information they wish to display on the display device 41.

[0045] Note that the display configuration in the second display mode is not limited to the examples shown in Figures 3 and 4. For example, in the battery information priority mode, which is the third display mode of the second display mode, it is possible to display information indicating the amount of energy saved by driving in automatic driving mode, such as electricity consumption 301, fuel consumption 302, and energy saving information 303, in the central display area of ​​the display unit 50. In short, in the second display mode, it is sufficient that the information displayed in the central display area of ​​the display device 41 includes at least information indicating the amount of energy saved by driving in automatic driving mode.

[0046] Furthermore, the second display mode may include a normal display mode. The normal display mode, as the second display mode, displays the image in the same first display manner as the first display mode. Also, when the driving mode is automatic driving mode, the display control ECU 40 prioritizes the third display mode, which is the battery information priority mode, over the second display mode, which is the normal display mode, for the display mode of the display device 41. Furthermore, when the driving mode is automatic driving mode, the display control ECU 40 prioritizes the fourth display mode, which is the environmental / economic information priority mode, over the second display mode, which is the normal display mode, for the display mode of the display device 41. In this case, when the display control ECU 40 selects the second display mode, it may prioritize either the third display mode, which is the battery information priority mode, or the fourth display mode, which is the environmental / economic information priority mode.

[0047] In addition, the first display mode may display an image on the display device 41 showing the amount of energy saved by driving in manual driving mode. In this case, the image showing the amount of energy saved by manual driving mode is displayed in one of the display areas of the display unit 50 in the first display mode. In this case, when the driving mode switches from manual driving mode to automatic driving mode, the display control ECU 40 switches the amount of energy saved from manual driving to automatic driving, changes the display mode from the first display mode to the second display mode, and changes the display position from a predetermined display area to the central display area. Alternatively, in the first display mode, it is not necessary to display an image on the display device 41 showing the amount of energy saved by driving in manual driving mode. In this case, when switching to the second display mode, the amount of energy saved that was not displayed in the first display mode will be displayed, so the image showing the amount of energy saved will be displayed as relatively more prominent information than in the first display mode.
