Display control apparatus and display control method
View Patent ↗A display control apparatus includes a reception frequency acquisition unit configured to acquire a reception frequency, a reception quality acquisition unit configured to acquire reception quality, a first data acquisition unit configured to acquire first data at a reception frequency, a second data acquisition unit configured to acquire second data from a signal of a reception frequency, a display control unit configured to control display of first data until acquisition of second data after acquisition of first data, and a display unit configured to display first data and/or second data in accordance with control of a display control unit.
1. A display control apparatus which receives and displays character data, comprising:
a reception frequency acquisition unit configured to acquire a frequency to be received,
a reception quality acquisition unit configured to acquire reception quality of a signal of the reception frequency,
a first data acquisition unit configured to acquire first data at the reception frequency,
a second data acquisition unit configured to acquire second data from a signal of the reception frequency,
a display control unit configured to control display of the first data until acquisition of the second data after acquisition of the first data, and
a display unit configured to display the first data or the second data in accordance with control of the display control unit.
2. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit controls not to display the first data at least until acquisition of the second data, when the reception quality is higher than a predetermined value.
3. The display control apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a broadcast station determination unit which determines whether a broadcast station configured to broadcast a signal of the reception frequency is a broadcast station configured to transmit the second data, and
a broadcast station storage unit which stores determination result of the broadcast station determination unit for each reception frequency,
wherein the display control unit controls to display the first data, when the broadcast station storage unit stores a determination result that a broadcast station of the reception frequency is a broadcast station not configured to transmit the second data, even when the reception quality is higher than the predetermined value.
4. The display control apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein: the broadcast station determination unit determines a broadcast station configured to broadcast a signal to be a broadcast station configured to transmit the second data, when the second data is acquired from the signal of the reception frequency, and
determines the broadcast station configured to broadcast the signal to be a broadcast station not configured to transmit the second data, when the second data is not acquired even after a predetermined time passes in a state that reception quality of a signal of the reception frequency remains at a predetermined value or higher.
5. The display control apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising a third data acquisition unit which acquires, from the signal, third data that is information for determining whether the broadcast station configured to broadcast the signal of the reception frequency is a broadcast station configured to transmit second data,
wherein the broadcast station determination unit determines the broadcast station configured to broadcast the signal of the reception frequency to be a broadcast station configured to transmit the second data, when the third data acquisition unit acquires the third data, and
determines the broadcast station configured to broadcast the signal to be a broadcast station not configured to transmit the second data, when the third data is not acquired even after a predetermined time passes in a state that reception quality of a signal of the reception frequency remains at a predetermined value or higher.
6. The display control apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising:
a sub reception frequency acquisition unit configured to acquire a frequency received by a sub tuner;
a sub reception quality acquisition unit configured to acquire reception quality of a signal of reception frequency of the sub tuner;
a sub second data acquisition unit configured to acquire sub second data from a signal of the reception frequency of the sub tuner, and
a sub broadcast station determination unit configured to determine whether the broadcast station configured to broadcast the signal of the reception frequency of the sub tuner is a broadcast station configured to transmit the second data, based on the reception quality of the signal of the reception frequency of the sub tuner and the sub second data,
wherein the broadcast station storage unit stores a determination result of the sub broadcast station determination unit for each reception frequency.
7. The display control apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a stability determination unit configured to determine whether the reception quality is stable or unstable,
wherein the display control unit controls to delay display of the first data, when the stability determination unit determines the reception quality to be unstable, even when the reception quality is not higher than a predetermined value.
8. The display control apparatus according to claim 7 , further comprising a vehicle speed acquisition unit configured to acquire speed information of a vehicle equipped with the display control apparatus,
wherein the stability determination unit determines the reception frequency to be unstable, when a speed of the vehicle is higher than a predetermined value.
9. The display control apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the stability determination unit determines the reception quality to be unstable, when the reception quality changes greatly in most recent predetermined time.
10. The display control apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the display control unit controls to display the first data, when the reception quality decreases to a predetermined value or lower even once in a period from acquisition of the first data to acquisition of the second data.
11. A display control method that a display control apparatus receives and displays character data, comprising:
a reception frequency acquisition step of acquiring a frequency to be received,
a reception quality acquisition step of acquiring reception quality of a signal of the reception frequency,
a first data acquisition step of acquiring first data at the reception frequency,
a second data acquisition step of acquiring second data from a signal of the reception frequency,
a display control step of controlling display of the first data until acquisition of the second data after acquisition of the first data, based on the reception quality, and
a display step of displaying the first data or the second data in accordance with control on the display control step.
12. A non-transitory recording medium recorded with a program to cause a computer to execute each step of the display control method according to claim 11 .
