DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A display control device for a vehicle, the display control device comprising:
- a display controller that displays a determined display image comprising a display of a traveling state of the vehicle on a windshield of the vehicle;
a visibility reducing area detector that detects a presence or an absence of a visibility reducing area on the windshield, wherein the visibility reducing area reduces visibility of a driver; and
a gaze detector that detects a gaze of the driver, whereinwhen the visibility reducing area is detected, but the display of the traveling state does not overlap with the visibility reducing area, and the driver keeps the gaze on the visibility reducing area, the display controller displays a traveling direction information on the visibility reducing area, wherein the traveling direction information is necessary to drive the vehicle.

Abstract
A display control device for a vehicle includes: a display controller that displays a determined display image including a display of a traveling state of the vehicle on a windshield of the vehicle; a visibility reducing area detector that detects a presence or an absence of a visibility reducing area on the windshield, the visibility reducing area reduces visibility of a driver; and a gaze detector that detects a gaze of the driver. When the visibility reducing area is detected, but the display of the traveling state does not overlap with the visibility reducing area, and the driver keeps the gaze on the visibility reducing area, the display controller displays, on the visibility reducing area, a traveling direction information necessary for driving the vehicle.
