Abstract

A display control device that is one aspect of an embodiment includes an acquirer configured to acquire surrounding conditions of a mobile object, and a display controller configured to cause a display to display a first image indicating a position of the mobile object, a second image indicating a position of an obstacle present within a predetermined distance from the mobile object, which is acquired by the acquirer, and a third image indicating that the mobile object and the obstacle are approaching each other, in which the third image includes an image indicating from which of left and right sides the obstacle is approaching the mobile object.

Claims (29)

1 . A display control device comprising:

an acquirer configured to acquire surrounding conditions of a mobile object; and

a display controller configured to cause a display to display a first image indicating a position of the mobile object, a second image indicating a position of an obstacle present within a predetermined distance from the mobile object, which is acquired by the acquirer, and a third image indicating that the mobile object and the obstacle are approaching each other,

wherein the third image includes an image indicating from which of a left side and a right side the obstacle is approaching the mobile object,

wherein the third image is displayed between the first image and the second image, and

wherein the third image is drawn as a continuous diagonal line in a traveling direction of the mobile object, and the diagonal line is drawn to extend in a movement direction of the mobile object to avoid the obstacle.

2 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller causes the third image in which a width of the diagonal line has changed depending on a size of the obstacle to be displayed.

3 . The display control device according to claim 2 , wherein the display controller causes the third image in which the width of the diagonal line is made longer at a position closer to the obstacle to be displayed.

4 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller causes the third image superimposed on a fourth image indicating a risk area around the mobile object to be displayed.

5 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile object includes a vehicle, and the display controller causes the third image to be displayed in an area corresponding to a traveling lane of the vehicle.

6 . A display control method comprising:

by a computer,

acquiring surrounding conditions of a mobile object; and

causing a display to display a first image indicating a position of the mobile object, a second image indicating a position of an obstacle present within a predetermined distance from the mobile object, which is acquired, and a third image indicating that the mobile object and the obstacle are approaching each other,

wherein the third image includes an image indicating from which of a left side and a right side the obstacle is approaching the mobile object,

wherein the third image is displayed between the first image and the second image, and

wherein the third image is drawn as a continuous diagonal line in a traveling direction of the mobile object, and the diagonal line is drawn to extend in a movement direction of the mobile object to avoid the obstacle.

7 . A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium that has stored a program causing a computer to execute;

acquiring surrounding conditions of a mobile object; and

causing a display to display a first image indicating a position of the mobile object, a second image indicating a position of an obstacle present within a predetermined distance from the mobile object, which is acquired, and a third image indicating that the mobile object and the obstacle are approaching each other,

wherein the third image includes an image indicating from which of a left side and a right side the obstacle is approaching the mobile object,

wherein the third image is displayed between the first image and the second image, and

wherein the third image is drawn as a continuous diagonal line in a traveling direction of the mobile object, and the diagonal line is drawn to extend in a movement direction of the mobile object to avoid the obstacle.

8 . A display control device comprising:

an acquirer configured to acquire surrounding conditions of a mobile object; and

a display controller configured to cause a display to display a first image indicating a position of the mobile object, a second image indicating a position of an obstacle present within a predetermined distance from the mobile object, which is acquired by the acquirer, a third image indicating that the mobile object and the obstacle are approaching each other, and a fourth image indicating a risk area around the mobile object,

wherein the third image includes an image indicating from which of a left side and a right side the obstacle is approaching the mobile object,

wherein the third image is displayed between the first image and the second image, and

wherein the third image is drawn as a continuous diagonal line in a traveling direction of the mobile object, and the diagonal line is drawn to extend in a movement direction of the mobile object to avoid the obstacle.
