Abstract

A vehicle display control device includes a processor. The processor detects a lane marking in an object lane in which a vehicle is traveling. When the vehicle is approaching the lane marking, the processor displays a lane marking image representing the lane marking in different display styles depending on whether a predetermined condition for calling attention is satisfied or not.

Claims (22)

1 . A vehicle display control device, comprising a processor configured to:

detect a lane marking in an object lane in which a vehicle is traveling;

acquire a speed of the vehicle; and

when the vehicle is approaching the lane marking, display a lane marking image representing the lane marking in different display styles depending on whether the speed of the vehicle is lower than a predetermined speed or not.

2 . The vehicle display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display the lane marking image in a more enhanced manner when the speed of the vehicle is not lower than the predetermined speed, as compared to when the speed of the vehicle is lower than the predetermined speed.

3 . The vehicle display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display a warning image for calling of the attention when the speed of the vehicle is not lower than the predetermined speed and the vehicle is approaching the lane marking.

4 . The vehicle display control device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:

acquire a distance between the vehicle and the lane marking; and

display the warning image in different display styles in accordance with the distance between the vehicle and the lane marking.

5 . The vehicle display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display a warning image together with the lane marking image when the speed of the vehicle is not lower than the predetermined speed and the vehicle is approaching the lane marking, the warning image being displayed in a more enhanced manner as a distance between the vehicle and the lane marking that the vehicle is approaching decreases.

6 . A vehicle display control method, comprising:

detecting, by a processor, a lane marking in an object lane in which a vehicle is traveling;

acquiring a speed of the vehicle; and

when the vehicle is approaching the lane marking, displaying, by the processor, a lane marking image representing the lane marking in different display styles depending on whether the speed of the vehicle is lower than a predetermined speed or not.

7 . The vehicle display control method according to claim 6 , further comprising

displaying, by the processor, a warning image together with the lane marking image when the speed of the vehicle is not lower than the predetermined speed and the vehicle is approaching the lane marking, the warning image being displayed in a more enhanced manner as a distance between the vehicle and the lane marking that the vehicle is approaching decreases.

8 . A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors and that cause the one or more processors to perform functions comprising:

detecting a lane marking in an object lane in which a vehicle is traveling;

acquiring a speed of the vehicle; and

when the vehicle is approaching the lane marking, displaying a lane marking image representing the lane marking in different display styles depending on whether the speed of the vehicle is lower than a predetermined speed or not.

9 . The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to perform the function of:

displaying a warning image together with the lane marking image when the speed of the vehicle is not lower than the predetermined speed and the vehicle is approaching the lane marking, the warning image being displayed in a more enhanced manner as a distance between the vehicle and the lane marking that the vehicle is approaching decreases.
