Abstract

A display control apparatus includes: an input unit that receives state information indicating at least one of a state of a moving object, a state of inside of the moving object, and a state of outside of the moving object; and a controller that controls a displayer, which generates a predetermined image and outputs the predetermined image onto a display medium, based on the state information. The predetermined image shows a presentation image including text, when displayed on the display medium. The controller causes the displayer to generate a first predetermined image showing a first presentation image including first text corresponding to a predetermined event, determines whether the at least one state has made a predetermined change, based on the state information, and causes the displayer to generate a second predetermined image showing a second presentation image including second text corresponding to the predetermined event.

Claims (47)

1. A display control apparatus comprising:

input circuitry, which in operation, receives state information indicating at least one of a state of a moving object, a state of inside of the moving object, and a state of outside of the moving object; and

control circuitry, which in operation, controls a display, which generates a predetermined image and outputs the predetermined image onto a display medium, based on the state information,

wherein the predetermined image shows a presentation image including text, when the predetermined image is displayed on the display medium;

wherein the control circuitry:

causes the display to generate a first predetermined image showing a first presentation image including first text corresponding to a predetermined event,

determines whether the at least one state has made a predetermined change, based on the state information, and

causes the display to generate a second predetermined image showing a second presentation image including second text corresponding to the predetermined event instead of the first presentation image including the first text, upon sensing the predetermined change; and

wherein the first text is composed of n words, and the second text is an abridged form of the first text and is composed of 1 words including m words of the n words and does not include k words of the n words,

wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 2,

wherein 1 is an integer, 1<n,

wherein m is an integer, m<=1, and

wherein k is an integer, k=1−m.

2. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the state information comprises distance information indicating a distance between a subject that is present ahead of the moving object and the moving object; and

the predetermined change is a change from a state in which the distance is larger than a pre-defined threshold to a state in which the distance is smaller than or equal to the threshold.

3. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the state information comprises speed information indicating a speed of the moving object; and

the predetermined change is a change from a state in which the speed is lower than a pre-defined threshold to a state in which the speed is higher than the threshold.

4. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the state information comprises reception-state information indicating a reception state of mail; and

the predetermined change is a change from a state in which no mail is received to a state in which mail is received.

5. The display control apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the control circuitry

causes the display to generate a third predetermined image showing a third presentation image including the first text and a first arbitrary image; and

causes the display to generate, after generating the third predetermined image, a fourth predetermined image showing a fourth presentation image including the second text and a second arbitrary image, when the state has made the predetermined change; and

wherein the second arbitrary image is an image obtained by changing a display mode of the first arbitrary image.

6. The display control apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the second arbitrary image is an enlargement image of the first arbitrary image, and is located in a space generated by shortening the first text.

7. A display control method for a display system including display, wherein state information is acquired indicating at least one of a state of a moving object, a state of inside of the moving object, and a state of outside of the moving object, and based on the state information, the display generates a predetermined image that shows, when displayed on a display medium, a presentation image including text and outputs the predetermined image onto the display medium, the display control method comprising:

causing the display to generate a first predetermined image showing a first presentation image including first text corresponding to a predetermined event;

determining whether the at least one state has made a predetermined change, based on the state information; and

causing the display to generate a second predetermined image showing a second presentation image including second text corresponding to the predetermined event instead of the first presentation image including the first text, after the sensing,

wherein the first text is composed of n words, and the second text is an abridged form of the first text and is composed of 1 words including m words of the n words and does not include k words of the n words,

wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 2,

wherein 1 is an integer, 1<n,

wherein m is an integer, m<=1, and

wherein k is an integer, k=1−m.

8. A computer-readable non-transitory tangible storage medium storing a display control program executed by a display control apparatus in a display system including display, wherein state information is acquired indicating at least one of a state of a moving object, a state of inside of the moving object, and a state of outside of the moving object, and based on the state information, the display generates a predetermined image that shows, when displayed on a display medium, a presentation image including text and outputs the predetermined image onto the display medium, the display control program causing a computer in the display control apparatus to execute:

causing the display to generate a first predetermined image showing a first presentation image including first text corresponding to a predetermined event;

determining whether the at least one state has made a predetermined change, based on the state information; and

causing the display to generate a second predetermined image showing a second presentation image including second text corresponding to the predetermined event instead of first presentation image including first text, after the sensing, and

wherein the first text is composed of n words, and the second text is an abridged form of the first text and is composed of 1 words including m words of the n words and does not include k words of the n words,

wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 2,

wherein 1 is an integer, 1<n,

wherein m is an integer, m<=1, and

wherein k is an integer, k=1−m.
