Vehicle-mounted displaying device employing TV program displaying method
First Claim
1. A vehicle-mounted device capable of executing a predetermined function as a foreground process and a TV function as a background process, comprising:
- a displaying device, an image corresponding to the predetermined function being displayed on the displaying device when the predetermined function is executed;
a program switching system that is operated by a user to switch TV programs one by one;
a small image generating system that generates a small image which is smaller than the image corresponding to the predetermined function when the program switching system is operated to switch the TV programs, the small image being superimposed on the image corresponding to the predetermined function; and
a display control system that displays the small image on the displaying devices such that the small image is superimposed on the image corresponding to the predetermined function, the display control system extinguishing the small image at a predetermined timing.

Abstract
A vehicle-mounted device is configured to execute a predetermined function as a foreground process and a TV function as a background process. The vehicle-mounted device is provided with a displaying device. An image corresponding to the predetermined function is displayed on the displaying device when the predetermined function is executed. The device further includes a TV program switching system, a small image generating system that generates a small image when the program switching system is operated to switch the TV programs. The small image is superimposed on the image corresponding to the predetermined function. The device further includes a display control system that displays the small image on the displaying devices such that the small image is superimposed on the image corresponding to the predetermined function, the display control system extinguishing the small image at a predetermined timing.

15. A vehicle-mounted device capable of executing a first function as a foreground process and a second function as a background process, comprising:
-
a displaying device;
a first image generating system that generates a first image corresponding to the first function;
a second image generating system that generates a second image corresponding to the second function, the second image being smaller than the first image;
