Abstract

A display control device includes a display that is configured to display information and a display controller that is configured to cause the display to display a plurality of partition lines for partitioning a host lane in which a vehicle is present and an adjacent lane adjacent to the host lane, and the display controller is configured to cause the display to display a partition line of the adjacent lane in a case where the adjacent lane is a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible, and restrict causing the display to display the partition line of the adjacent lane in a case where the adjacent lane is not a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible.

Claims (30)

1. A display control device comprising:

a display that is configured to display information;

a display controller that is configured to cause the display to display a plurality of partition lines for partitioning a host lane in which a vehicle is present and an adjacent lane adjacent to the host lane; and

a determiner that is configured to determine whether the adjacent lane is a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible,

wherein the display controller is configured to cause the display to display a partition line of the adjacent lane in a case where it is determined by the determiner that the adjacent lane is a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible, and

is configured to restrict causing the display to display the partition line of the adjacent lane in a case where it is determined by the determiner that the adjacent lane is not a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible.

2. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determiner is configured to determine whether a color of the partition line of the adjacent lane is a first color indicating prohibition of the lane change, and

wherein the determiner is configured to determine the adjacent lane is not a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible in a case where the color of the partition line of the adjacent lane is the first color.

3. The display control device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the determiner is configured to determine whether the color of the partition line of the adjacent lane is changed from the first color to a second color indicating permission of the lane change, and

wherein the determiner is configured to determine the adjacent lane is a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible in a case where the color of the partition line of the adjacent lane is changed from the first color to the second color.

4. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determiner is configured to determine whether the adjacent lane is a lane deviating from a route to a destination of the vehicle, and

wherein the determiner is configured to determine the adjacent lane is not a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible in a case where the adjacent lane is a lane deviating from the route.

5. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determiner is configured to determine whether the host lane and the adjacent lane are adjacent to each other with a specific region in which passing is not recommended or is prohibited interposed therebetween, and

wherein the determiner is configured to determine the adjacent lane is not a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible in a case where the host lane and the adjacent lane are adjacent to each other with the specific region.

6. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller is further configured to restrict causing the display to display the adjacent lane and the partition line for partitioning the adjacent lane in a case where it is determined by the determiner that the adjacent lane is not a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible.

7. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the determiner is configured to determine whether the adjacent lane is a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible on the basis of a type of the partition line for partitioning both lanes between the host lane and the adjacent lane.

8. A display control method comprising causing a computer mounted in a vehicle including a display that is configured to display information to:

cause the display to display a plurality of partition lines for partitioning a host lane in which the vehicle is present and an adjacent lane adjacent to the host lane;

determine whether the adjacent lane is a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible;

cause the display to display a partition line of the adjacent lane in a case where the adjacent lane is a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible; and

restrict causing the display to display the partition line of the adjacent lane in a case where the adjacent lane is not a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible.

9. A computer readable non-transitory storage medium having a program stored therein, the program causing a computer mounted in a vehicle including a display that is configured to display information to execute:

causing the display to display a plurality of partition lines for partitioning a host lane in which the vehicle is present and an adjacent lane adjacent to the host lane;

determining whether the adjacent lane is a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible;

causing the display to display a partition line of the adjacent lane in a case where the adjacent lane is a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible; and

restricting causing the display to display the partition line of the adjacent lane in a case where the adjacent lane is not a lane in which a lane change from the host lane is possible.
