Abstract

A display control device for a vehicle includes a memory, and at least processor. The at least one processor is coupled to the memory, is configured to execute a first OS, which carries out display control of a display device installed at a vehicle and viewed by a user of the vehicle, and a second OS that carries out display control of the display device and ensures time limits of execution times of commands, and, in a case in which there is a problem with or a possibility of a problem with display of the display device, carry out display by only control of the second OS at the display device.

Claims (25)

1. A display control device for a vehicle, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

execute a first OS, which carries out display control of a display device installed at a vehicle and viewed by a user of the vehicle, and a second OS that carries out display control of the display device and ensures time limits of execution times of commands, and

in a case in which there is a problem with or a possibility of a problem with display of the display device, carry out display by only control of the second OS at the display device.

2. The display control device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

be able to switch between display by control of the first OS and display by control of the second OS, and

in the case in which there is a problem with or a possibility of a problem with display of the display device, carry out display by control of the second OS instead of display by control of the first OS at the display device.

3. The display control device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

be able to carry out superposed display of display by control of the first OS and display by control of the second OS at the display device, and

in the case in which there is a problem with or a possibility of a problem with display of the display device, stop display by control of the first OS at the display device.

4. The display control device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to, in a case in which the problem disappears, carry out display by control of the first OS at the display device.

5. The display control device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to acquire information as to whether or not there is a problem with or a possibility of a problem with display of the display device, from an external information processing device.

6. A vehicle display device, comprising:

the display device; and

the display control device for a vehicle of claim 1 .

7. A vehicle comprising:

the display device; and

the display control device for a vehicle of claim 1 .

8. A display control method for a vehicle that is executed by a processor, the display control method comprising:

executing a first OS, which carries out display control of a display device installed at a vehicle and viewed by a user of the vehicle, and a second OS that carries out display control of the display device and ensures time limits of execution times of commands; and

in a case in which there is a problem with or a possibility of a problem with display of the display device, carrying out display by only control of the second OS at the display device.

9. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program executable by a processor to perform a process, the process comprising:

executing a first OS, which carries out display control of a display device installed at a vehicle and viewed by a user of the vehicle, and a second OS that carries out display control of the display device and ensures time limits of execution times of commands; and

in a case in which there is a problem with or a possibility of a problem with display of the display device, carrying out display by only control of the second OS at the display device.
