Vehicle Display State Change for Driving Assistance Activation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle display control devices do not effectively inform occupants when driving assistance control has switched from a non-actuated to an actuated state.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle display control device that includes a processor and a display section, which displays a vehicle image and changes its mode when a switching condition for driving assistance control is met, allowing occupants to easily recognize the change in state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the display mode is changed to indicate driving assistance control activation, then occupant awareness is improved, but display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes to the vehicle image to indicate the actuated state of driving assistance control. Specifically, the vehicle image is displayed in a first color when the control is in a normal state and in a second color (different from the first) when the control is in an actuated state. This color differentiation provides clear visual feedback to occupants about the control state without requiring complex display mode changes, thus improving occupant awareness while maintaining simple display implementation.
2Loss of information
If the vehicle image display is modified to show control state, then information transmission is improved, but visual clarity may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses color changes on the vehicle image to convey control state information. The vehicle image is displayed in a first color during normal operation and switches to a second color when driving assistance control is actuated. This approach transmits control state information effectively while maintaining good visual clarity, as the color change is subtle enough not to compromise overall display visibility but distinct enough to be easily recognized by occupants.

AI summary
A vehicle display control device including a processor and a display section that is provided at a vehicle capable of executing driving assistance control, and that is configured to display a vehicle image representing the vehicle, wherein the processor is configured to determine whether or not a switching condition for switching the driving assistance control from a non-actuated state to an actuated state has been satisfied, and, when it has been determined that the switching condition has been satisfied, control the display section so as to display the vehicle image while changing a display mode of the vehicle image.
