Driving support device, driving support system, and driving support method
View Patent ↗In a driving support device, an image output unit outputs image information including a vehicle object representing a vehicle and a sign object representing a sign, to a display unit. An operation signal input unit receives an operation signal of a user for moving, in the image displayed on the display unit, the vehicle object to the position of the sign object or for moving the sign object to the position of the vehicle object. A command output unit outputs a command corresponding to the display content in the sign object when the operation signal is received, to an automatic driving control unit that controls automatic driving.
1. A driving support device comprising:
an image output unit, which, in operation, outputs image information for an image to a display unit, the image including a vehicle icon representing a vehicle and a sign icon representing a place;
an operation signal input unit, which, in operation, receives an operation signal of a user:
dragging, in the image, the vehicle icon to a position of the sign icon, or
dragging, in the image, the sign icon to a position of the vehicle icon; and
a command output unit, which, in operation, outputs, in response to the operation signal being received by the operation signal input unit, an automatic driving control command to an automatic driving control unit configured to control automatic driving of the vehicle, the automatic driving control command setting a course of the vehicle to the place.
2. The driving support device of claim 1 ,
wherein the place is a traffic lane, and the automatic driving control command instructs the vehicle to enter the traffic lane.
3. The driving support device of claim 1 ,
wherein when the operation signal input unit receives an operation signal of the user dragging, in the image, the vehicle icon to a road name of a road in the sign icon, the image output unit outputs image information to the display unit to include a selection icon for selecting an inbound or an outbound direction of the road.
4. The driving support device of claim 1 ,
wherein the place is a destination, and the automatic driving control command set a course of the vehicle to the destination.
5. A driving support system comprising:
a display device, which, in operation, displays an image; and
a driving support device, which, in operation, outputs image information for the image to the display device,
wherein the driving support device includes:
an image output unit, which, in operation, outputs image information including a vehicle icon representing a vehicle and a sign icon representing a place, to the display device;
an operation signal input unit which, in operation, receives an operation signal of a user:
dragging, in the image, the vehicle icon to a position of the sign icon, or
dragging, in the image, the sign icon to a position of the vehicle icon; and
a command output unit, which, in operation, outputs, in response to the operation signal being received by the operation signal input unit, an automatic driving control command to an automatic driving control unit configured to control automatic driving of the vehicle, the automatic driving control command setting a course of the vehicle to the place.
6. The driving support system of claim 5 ,
wherein the automatic driving control command sets the place as a destination or a passing spot.
7. The driving support system of claim 5 ,
wherein the place is a traffic lane, and the automatic driving control command instructs the vehicle to enter the traffic lane.
8. The driving support system of claim 5 ,
wherein when the operation signal input unit receives an operation signal of the user dragging, in the image, the vehicle icon to a road name of a road in the sign icon, the image output unit outputs image information including a selection icon for selecting an inbound or an outbound direction of the road.
9. A driving support method comprising;
outputting image including a vehicle icon representing a vehicle and a sign icon representing a place;
receiving an operation signal of a user:
dragging, in the image, the vehicle icon to a position of the sign icon, or
dragging, in the image, the sign icon to a position of the vehicle icon; and
outputting, in response to receiving the operation signal, an automatic driving control command to an automatic driving control unit that controls automatic driving of the vehicle, the automatic driving control command setting a course of the vehicle to the place.
10. The driving support method of claim 9 ,
wherein the automatic driving control command sets the place as a destination or a passing spot.
11. The driving support method of claim 9 ,
wherein the place is a traffic lane, and the automatic driving control command instructs the vehicle to enter the traffic lane.
12. The driving support method of claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving an operation signal of the user dragging, in the image, the vehicle icon to a road name of a road in the sign icon; and
outputting a selection icon in the image for selecting an inbound or an outbound direction of the road.
