Abstract

Provided is a display device to be provided in a vehicle, the display device including: a state acquisition unit configured to acquire a state of the vehicle; a conversion unit configured to convert a voice spoken in an online conference, in which an occupant of the vehicle participates, into text; and a display controller configured to display the text converted by the conversion unit on a display unit, wherein the display controller being configured to make display modes of the text converted by the conversion unit different from each other depending on the state of the vehicle acquired by the state acquisition unit.

Claims (30)

1 . A display device to be provided in a vehicle, the display device comprising a processor that is configured to:

acquire a speed of the vehicle;

convert a voice spoken in an online conference, in which an occupant of the vehicle participates, into text; and

display the text converted on a display,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

display the text converted whenever conversion is performed when the speed of the vehicle acquired is equal to or less than a first threshold value; and

display collectively a plurality of kinds of text converted by the conversion unit when the speed of the vehicle acquired exceeds the first threshold value and is equal to or less than a second threshold value.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to convert a voice into text for each clause.

3 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to not display the text converted when the speed of the vehicle acquired exceeds the second threshold value.

4 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine whether execution of a driving support function of the vehicle or an autonomous driving function of the vehicle is turned on; and

accept a selection operation for setting a display mode of the text displayed to a first display mode or a second display mode when determining that the execution of the driving support function of the vehicle is turned on or the execution of the autonomous driving function of the vehicle is turned on,

the first display mode being a display mode in which the text converted is displayed whenever conversion is performed, and

the second display mode being a display mode in which a plurality of kinds of text converted are displayed collectively.

5 . A control method of a display device to be provided in a vehicle, the control method comprising:

acquiring a speed of the vehicle;

converting a voice spoken in an online conference, in which an occupant of the vehicle participates, into text; and

displaying the converted text on a display,

where, when displaying, the control method includes:

displaying the text converted whenever conversion is performed when the speed of the vehicle acquired is equal to or less than a first threshold value; and

displaying collectively a plurality of kinds of text converted when the speed of the vehicle acquired exceeds the first threshold value and is equal to or less than a second threshold value.

6 . A non-transitory computer readable recording medium recording a program causing a processor of a display device to be provided in a vehicle to function as:

a state acquisition unit configured to acquire a speed of the vehicle;

a conversion unit configured to convert a voice spoken in an online conference, in which an occupant of the vehicle participates, into text; and

a display controller configured to display the text converted by the conversion unit on a display,

wherein

the display controller displays the text converted by the conversion unit whenever the conversion unit performs conversion when the speed of the vehicle acquired by the state acquisition unit is equal to or less than a first threshold value, and

the display controller displays collectively a plurality of kinds of text converted by the conversion unit when the speed of the vehicle acquired by the state acquisition unit exceeds the first threshold value and is equal to or less than a second threshold value.
