Drive assist system and navigation system for vehicle
First Claim
1. A drive assist system for a vehicle, comprising:
- front left and right cameras that are arranged at front left and right end parts, respectively, of the vehicle to capture a corresponding peripheral image around the vehicle;
a display device that is arranged in a passenger compartment of the vehicle and is connected with the front left and right cameras;
a map database that stores road map information;
a vehicle position sensing means for sensing a current position of the vehicle;
a display control means for controlling a displaying operation of the display device based on the sensed current position of the vehicle and the road map information in such a manner that when the vehicle approaches a junction where a current road, along which the vehicle currently travels, joins an encountering road, at least one of the peripheral images of the front left and right cameras, which shows a corresponding view of the encountering road, is displayed on the display device upon satisfaction of one or more predetermined conditions; and
a condition setting means for setting at least one of the one or more predetermined conditions.

Abstract
Front left and right cameras are arranged at front left and right end parts, respectively, of a vehicle to capture a corresponding peripheral image around the vehicle. A control circuit controls a displaying operation of a display device based on a sensed current position of the vehicle and road map information in such a manner that when the vehicle approaches a junction where a current road, along which the vehicle currently travels, joins an encountering road, the peripheral images of front left and right cameras showing a corresponding view of the encountering road are displayed on the display device upon satisfaction of predetermined conditions.

11. A navigation system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
at least one front camera that is arranged at a front part of the vehicle to capture a corresponding peripheral image around the vehicle;
a display device that is arranged in a passenger compartment of the vehicle and is connected with the at least one front camera;
a map database that stores road map information;
a vehicle position sensing device that senses a current position of the vehicle; and
a control unit that controls a displaying operation of the display device based on the sensed current position of the vehicle and the road map information in such a manner that when the vehicle approaches a junction where a current road, along which the vehicle currently travels, joins an encountering road, the peripheral image of the at least one front camera, which shows a corresponding view of the encountering road, is displayed on the display device upon satisfaction of one or more predetermined conditions; and
a condition setting arrangement, through which a user sets at least one of the one or more predetermined conditions. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
