Abstract

A display control system is a display control system which is for controlling a first display region and a second display region (a first display screen and a second display screen) arranged in a vehicle, and which includes: an analyzer which obtains captured images of the first display region which displays a video and the second display region which displays a video, and analyzes, based on the captured images obtained, display modes which are a display mode of the video displayed in the first display region and a display mode of the video displayed in the second display region; and an information generator which generates, for each of the display modes, display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode, based on at least a result of analysis by the analyzer, and outputs the display adjustment information generated.

Claims (38)

1 . A display control system for controlling a first display region and a second display region arranged in a vehicle, the display control system comprising:

an analyzer which obtains captured images of the first display region which displays a video and the second display region which displays a video, and analyzes, based on the captured images obtained, display modes which are a display mode of the video displayed in the first display region and a display mode of the video displayed in the second display region; and

an information generator which generates, for each of the display modes, display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode, based on at least a result of analysis by the analyzer, and outputs the display adjustment information generated.

2 . The display control system according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the display modes is at least one of a position, posture, or size of a corresponding one of the first display region and the second display region, color information about or luminance of the video displayed in the corresponding one of the first display region and the second display region, or presence or absence of a failure in the corresponding one of the first display region and the second display region.

3 . The display control system according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the captured images obtained further includes a head or eyes of an occupant who is in the vehicle,

the analyzer further analyzes a position of the head or positions of the eyes of the occupant based on the captured images obtained, and

the information generator generates the display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode of the video displayed in the first display region and the display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode of the video displayed in the second display region, based on (i) the display mode of the video displayed in the first display region and the display mode of the video displayed in the second display region, and (ii) a result of the analysis by the analyzer obtained as the position of the head or the positions of the eyes of the occupant, and outputs the display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode of the video displayed in the first display region and the display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode of the video displayed in the second display region generated.

4 . The display control system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the vehicle includes a plurality of display regions arranged which includes the first display region and the second display region,

the analyzer further identifies a predetermined display region and another display region other than the predetermined display region from among the plurality of display regions, and

the information generator generates, for each of the predetermined display region and the another display region identified, display adjustment information for adjusting a display mode of a video displayed therein, and outputs the display adjustment information generated.

5 . The display control system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first display region is a first display screen for displaying a video,

the second display region is a second display screen for displaying a video,

the analyzer analyzes the display mode of the video displayed on the first display screen and the display mode of the video displayed on the second display screen, based on the captured images obtained, and

the information generator:

generates first display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode of the video displayed on the first display screen, based on the result of the analysis by the analyzer, and outputs the first display adjustment information generated; and

generates second display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode of the video displayed on the second display screen, based on the result of the analysis by the analyzer, and outputs the second display adjustment information generated.

6 . The display control system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first display region is a region, of a display screen for displaying the video, which is irradiated with ambient light,

the second display region is a region, of the display screen for displaying the video, which is not irradiated with ambient light,

the analyzer:

identifies the first display region and the second display region based on the captured images obtained;

analyzes the display mode of the video displayed in the first display region identified, based on the captured images obtained; and

analyzes the display mode of the video displayed in the second display region identified, based on the captured images, and

the information generator:

generates first partial display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode of the video displayed in the first display region based on the result of the analysis by the analyzer performed regarding the display mode of the video displayed in the first display region, and outputs the first partial display adjustment information generated; and

generates second partial display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode of the video displayed in the second display region based on the result of the analysis by the analyzer performed regarding the display mode of the video displayed in the second display region, and outputs the second partial display adjustment information generated.

7 . The display control system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an obtainer which obtains the captured images,

wherein the obtainer is a camera capable of imaging inside the vehicle.

8 . A display control method for controlling a first display region and a second display region arranged in a vehicle, the display control method comprising:

obtaining captured images of the first display region which displays a video and the second display region which displays a video;

analyzing, based on the captured images obtained, display modes which are a display mode of the video displayed in the first display region and a display mode of the video displayed in the second display region; and

generating, for each of the display modes, display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode, based on at least a result of the analyzing, and outputting the display adjustment information generated.

9 . A recording medium having recorded thereon a program for causing a computer to execute the display control method according to claim 8 .
