Operation assisting system and operation assisting method
First Claim
1. A drive assisting apparatus for displaying an image around a vehicle, which is acquired by an on-vehicle camera, on a screen of an on-vehicle monitor, comprising:
- a data table for storing thereinto locus data which contains locus display data and adjusting data, said locus display data being used to display a travel predicted locus of the vehicle corresponding to a steering angle of a steering wheel on the screen, and said adjusting data being used to adjust a display position of the travel predicted locus on the screen based upon said locus display data;
steering angle detecting means for detecting the steering angle of the steering wheel; and
drive assisting image producing means for reading out said locus data corresponding to the steering angle detected by said steering angle detecting means from said data table, for producing a drive assisting image by superimposing the travel predicted locus on the image around the vehicle based upon the locus display data and the adjusting data, which are contained in said read locus data, and for outputting said drive assisting image to said on-vehicle monitor.

Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a drive assisting apparatus capable of displaying a high-precision predicted locus in a camera picture in a superimposing manner while suppressing an increase of cost in a minimum value, and further, capable of displaying loci on a screen up to edges of the screen with respect to all of locus data irrespective of adjusting amounts of display positions.
Display data is formed which is used to display a travel prediction locus of a vehicle corresponding to a steering angle of a steering wheel on a screen of an on-vehicle monitor (5) in a superimposing manner; adjusting data used to adjust a display position of the travel prediction locus is set; and the display position of the travel prediction locus formed based upon the display data corresponding to the steering angle of the steering wheel in connection to steering operation of the steering wheel is adjusted based upon the adjusting data, and the position-adjusted travel prediction locus is displayed on the screen of the on-vehicle monitor (5) in the superimposing manner.

6. A drive assisting method for displaying an image around a vehicle, which is acquired by an on-vehicle camera, on a screen of an on-vehicle monitor, comprising:
-
a step for forming display data which is used to display a travel prediction locus of a vehicle corresponding to a steering angle of a steering wheel on the screen of said on-vehicle monitor in a superimposing manner;
a step for setting adjusting data used to adjust a display position of said travel prediction locus; and
a step for adjusting the display position of the travel prediction locus formed based upon the display data corresponding to the steering angle of the steering wheel in connection to steering operation of the steering wheel based upon said adjusting data, and for displaying the position-adjusted travel prediction locus on the screen of the on-vehicle monitor in the superimposing manner.
