First Claim
1. An in-vehicle image display system comprising:
- a single primary display device that includes a first display screen and a first image-drawing unit; and
at least one secondary display device that includes a second display screen and a second image-drawing unit, wherein the primary display device obtains, from among image data outputted from a plurality of apparatuses provided in a vehicle, first image data that is to be displayed on the first display screen and second image data that is to be displayed on the second display screen in the secondary display device, and then transfers the obtained second image data to the second display device, and wherein the first image-drawing unit performs drawing of the first image data on the first display screen, while the second image-drawing unit performs drawing of the second image data on the second display screen.

Abstract
In an in-vehicle image display system, each of a car navigation device and a rear-seat display device includes an own image-drawing IC. The car navigation device interfaces with a TV tuner and a DVD player. When receiving a request signal from the rear-seat display device, the car navigation device forwards relevant image data to the rear-seat display device using a dedicated line. The rear-seat display device converts the forwarded image data to image signals using the own image-drawing IC to thereby display them. Thus, the car navigation device and the rear-seat display device can display different display window images with a simple system structure where no image-drawing IC used for the rear-seat display device is provided within the car navigation device.

11. An in-vehicle image display system comprising:
-
a first display device that obtains, for displaying, image data outputted from each of a plurality of apparatuses provided in a vehicle and that includes a first display unit, a first storing unit that stores the obtained image data, and a first display control unit that generates a display control signal to the first display unit, based on the image data stored in the first display unit;
a second display device that obtains, for displaying, image data outputted from each of the plurality of apparatuses and that includes a second display unit, a second storing unit that stores the obtained image data, and a second display control unit that generates a display control signal to the second display unit, based on the image data stored in the second display unit; and
a dedicated line that interfaces with the first display device and the second display device to thereby dedicatedly communicate a signal relating to the image data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
