Vehicle information display control device, and method for displaying automatic driving information
A vehicle information display control device includes: an automatic driving information obtaining unit that obtains automatic driving information including information indicating that each actuator of a vehicle is in a manual control mode or an automatic control mode; and a display controller that displays images on a first display area and a second display area of a display based on the automatic driving information. The display controller displays an image corresponding to an actuator in the manual control mode on the first display area and an image corresponding to an actuator in the automatic control mode on the second display area.
1. A vehicle information display control device, comprising:
a processor to execute a program; and
a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, performs processes of:
obtaining automatic driving information including information indicating that each actuator of a vehicle is in a manual control mode or an automatic control mode; and
causing a display to display an image based on the automatic driving information,
wherein the display includes a first display area and a second display area with different apparent distances from a driver of the vehicle, and
the processor causes the display to display an image corresponding to an actuator in the manual control mode on the first display area, and an image corresponding to an actuator in the automatic control mode on the second display area.
2. The vehicle information display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first display area and the second display area are included in a single display, and
the single display including the first display area and the second display area is a head up display.
3. The vehicle information display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first display area and the second display area are included in a single display, and
the single display including the first display area and the second display area is a liquid crystal display including a first display surface used as the first display area and a second display surface used as the second display area, the first display surface and the second display surface being overlaid on one another.
4. The vehicle information display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the automatic driving information further includes information indicating whether the actuator in the manual control mode can be switched to the automatic control mode, and
when the actuator in the manual control mode can be switched to the automatic control mode, the processor changes a display mode of the image corresponding to the actuator.
5. The vehicle information display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the automatic driving information further includes information on a distance or a time until switching the actuator in the automatic control mode to the manual control mode is required, and
when the distance or the time until switching the actuator in the automatic control mode to the manual control mode is required is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold, the processor changes a display mode of the image corresponding to the actuator.
6. The vehicle information display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display includes a head up display,
the automatic driving information further includes information on a distance or a time until switching the actuator in the automatic control mode to the manual control mode is required, and
the processor causes the head up display to display a notification image for notifying the distance or the time until switching the actuator in the automatic control mode to the manual control mode is required, and changes an apparent distance of the notification image from a driver, according to the distance or the time until switching the actuator to the manual control mode is required.
7. The vehicle information display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display includes a head up display,
the automatic driving information further includes information on a distance or a time until the actuator in the manual control mode can be switched to the automatic control mode, and
the processor causes the head up display to display a notification image for notifying the distance or the time until the actuator in the manual control mode can be switched to the automatic control mode, and changes an apparent distance of the notification image from a driver, according to the distance or the time until the actuator can be switched to the automatic control mode.
8. A method for displaying automatic driving information, the method comprising:
obtaining the automatic driving information including information indicating that each actuator of a vehicle is in a manual control mode or an automatic control mode; and
causing a display to display an image corresponding to an actuator in the manual control mode on a first display area, and an image corresponding to an actuator in the automatic control mode on a second display area,
wherein the first display area and the second display area have different apparent distances from a driver of the vehicle.
