IMAGE CONTROL APPARATUS AND DISPLAY APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An image control apparatus adapted to be mounted in a conveyance that can be controlled in a plurality of driving modes including an autonomous driving mode, the image control apparatus comprising:
- a display control means configured to, in response to receipt of a driving mode switching instruction, control a display means to display a progress image indicating a progress to completion of the driving mode switching with an increase of an index amount, wherein in a case where the number of targets for automatic control in the conveyance increases after the driving mode switching compared to before the driving mode switching, the display control means allows the index amount in the progress image to increase in a predetermined forward direction, andin a case where the number of targets for automatic control in the conveyance decreases after the driving mode switching compared to before the driving mode switching, the display control means allows the index amount in the progress image to increase in an opposite direction of the forward direction.

Abstract
A display apparatus is mounted in a vehicle controlled under driving modes including an autonomous driving mode. The display apparatus has a control means causing a display means to display, in response to receipt of a driving mode switching instruction, a progress image showing the progress to completion of switching of the driving mode by increases in an index amount. The control means increases the index amount of the progress image along a forward direction if the driving mode that would follow the switch is one in which there will be more operations under automatic control in the vehicle in comparison to before the switch. The control means increases the index amount of the progress image along the reverse direction if the driving mode that would follow the switch is one in which there will be less operations under automatic control in the vehicle in comparison to before the switch.

7. An image control apparatus adapted to be mounted in a conveyance that can be controlled in a plurality of driving modes including an autonomous driving mode, the image control apparatus comprising:
-
a display control means configured to, in response to receipt of a driving mode switching instruction, control a display means to display a progress image indicating a progress to completion of the driving mode switching with a decrease of an index amount, wherein in a case where the number of targets for automatic control in the conveyance increases after the driving mode switching compared to before the driving mode switching, the display control means allows the index amount in the progress image to decrease in a predetermined forward direction, and in a case where the number of targets for automatic control in the conveyance decreases after the driving mode switching compared to before the driving mode switching, the display control means allows the index amount in the progress image to decrease in an opposite direction of the forward direction.
