Abstract

A display control device includes an acquisition unit for acquiring a communication state of each of a plurality of communication devices, and a control unit for displaying the communication state of each of the plurality of communication devices in association with each communication device.

Claims (16)

1. A display control device comprising:

at least one processor circuit and a memory comprising instructions, that when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to at least:

acquire a quality of communication of each of a plurality of communication devices including a communication device in a vehicle and a difficulty level of an automated traveling control of the vehicle; and

display, on a display device, the quality of communication of each of the plurality of communication devices in association with each communication device, including displaying the quality of communication of the communication device provided in the vehicle and the difficulty level of the automated traveling control of the vehicle in association with each other.

2. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of communication devices include a communication device provided in a mobile object.

3. The display control device according to claim 2 , wherein a quality of communication of the mobile object includes a quality of communication at a movement destination of the mobile object.

4. The display control device according to claim 2 , wherein the quality of communication of the mobile object includes a result of predicting a quality of communication corresponding to a position of the mobile object after a predetermined time elapses.

5. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor circuit to divide the quality of communication of each of the plurality of communication devices in levels and highlights a quality of communication having a predetermined level.

6. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor circuit to highlight a quality of communication that satisfies a predetermined condition among the qualities of communication of the plurality of communication devices.

7. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor circuit to display the quality of communication of the communication device in association with a position of the communication device.

8. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor circuit to display the qualities of communication of the plurality of communication devices in a same display region in association with positions of the plurality of communication devices.

9. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor circuit to display the quality of communication of the mobile object in association with the mobile object on a display device for visual recognition by a user of a remote driving device that provides a remote driving service to the mobile object whose quality of communication is acquired.

10. A non-transitory storage medium comprising a program for causing a computer to function as the display control device according to claim 1 .

11. A display control method comprising:

acquiring a quality of communication of each of a plurality of communication devices including a communication device in a vehicle and a difficulty level of an automated traveling control of the vehicle; and

displaying, on a display device, the quality of communication of each of the plurality of communication devices in association with each communication device, including displaying the quality of communication of the communication device provided in the vehicle and the difficulty level of the automated traveling control of the vehicle in association with each other.
