Abstract

An in-vehicle display device includes video input section into which a picture output from mobile terminal is input and display connected to video input section via video output controller and video output section. An output section of video input section is connected to an input section of image characteristics detector, an output section of image characteristics detector is connected to a first input section of image discriminator, an output section of vehicle operating state detector is connected to a second input section of image discriminator, and an output section of the image discriminator is connected to an input section of video output controller. Further, image discriminator compares an output from image characteristics detector with an output from vehicle operating state detector, and controls an output to video output controller.

Claims (12)

1. An in-vehicle display device comprising:

a video input section into which visual data from a mobile terminal is input; and

a display connected to the video input section via a video output controller and a video output section, wherein

the video output controller outputs the visual data to the display via the video output section when an operating state of the visual data is identified as being correlated with an operating state of a vehicle in which the in-vehicle display device is mounted and when operating direction information of the visual data is opposite to vehicle advancing direction information of the vehicle in which the in-vehicle display device is mounted.

2. The in-vehicle display device according to claim 1 , wherein the video output controller outputs the visual data to the display when an operating state of the visual data is identified as being correlated with the operating state of a vehicle in which the in-vehicle display device is mounted and when the operating direction information of the visual data is opposite to the vehicle advancing direction information of the vehicle in which the in-vehicle display device is mounted.

3. The in-vehicle display device according to claim 1 , wherein the video output controller outputs the visual data to the display when operating states and the operating direction information of divided four parts of an image, obtained by dividing an image from the visual data into four vertically and horizontally, are identified as being correlated with the operating state and the advancing direction information of the vehicle.

4. A display method comprising:

inputting visual data from a mobile terminal; and

outputting the visual data to a display when an operating state of the visual data is identified as being correlated with an operating state of a vehicle in which the in-vehicle display device is mounted and when operating direction information of the visual data is opposite to the vehicle advancing direction information of the vehicle in which the in-vehicle display device is mounted.

5. A non-transitory computer readable memory medium in an in-vehicle display device comprising:

inputting visual data from a mobile terminal; and

outputting the visual data to a display when an operating state of the visual data is identified as being correlated with an operating state of a vehicle in which the in-vehicle display device is mounted and when operating direction information of the visual data is opposite to vehicle advancing direction information of the vehicle in which the in-vehicle display device is mounted.
