Information display apparatus and information display method
First Claim
1. An information display system for displaying service information concerning to at least one of events existing in a service section set for a road received from a road infrastructure, comprising:
- a communication apparatus for receiving the service information transmitted from the road infrastructure;
a computer for determining at least one of symbols based upon the received service information, and for controlling a display position and display timing for the determined symbol, each symbol corresponding to each the event existing in the service section; and
a display apparatus for displaying the determined symbol in response to an output from the computer,wherein the computer controls the display apparatus so as to display all of the events existing between a position of a vehicle and an end position of the service section by first display object symbols in a first display area, andwherein the computer calculates the display timing based on the position and the contents for each of the events existing in the service section, and controls the display apparatus so as to display a second display object symbol having a display size larger than that of the first display object symbols in a second display area different from the first display area, the symbol as the second display object symbol being displayed when the vehicle reaches to a position corresponding to the calculated display timing for each of the events.

Abstract
To perform provision of information which allows a driver to generally know events which a vehicle is about to reach, and which calls the driver'"'"'s attention to the events. A computer 14 controls a display apparatus 16 so as to display symbols, which corresponding to all events existing between a position of a vehicle and an end position of a service section, among events existing in the service section as first display object symbols in a first display area. In addition, the computer 14 controls the display apparatus 16 so as to display, synchronizing timing with the vehicle reaching a position corresponding to the calculated display timing, symbols corresponding to the display timing as second display object symbols in a second display area in a display size larger than a display size of the first display object symbols.

9. An information display system for displaying service information concerning to at least one of events existing in a service section set for a road received from a road infrastructure, comprising:
-
a communication apparatus for receiving the service information transmitted from the road infrastructure; a computer for determining at least one of symbols based upon the received service information, each symbol corresponding to each event existing in the service section, and for controlling a display position and display timing for the determined symbol; and a display apparatus for displaying the determined symbol in response to an output from the computer, wherein the computer controls the display apparatus so as to display first display object symbols in a first display area, the first display object symbols including the symbols corresponding to all of the events existing between a position of a vehicle and an end position of the service section, and wherein the computer calculates the display timing based on the position and the contents for each the event existing in the service section, and controls the display apparatus so as to hierarchically display a predetermined number of events in an order of earliness of the display timing in the second display area.

10. An information display method for displaying service information for at least one of events existing in a service section set for a road received from a road infrastructure, comprising:
-
a first step of displaying all of the events existing between a position of a vehicle and an end position of the service section; a second step of calculating display timing for displaying at least one of symbols in a second display area different from the first display area based upon the position and the contents for each of the events existing in the service section, each symbol corresponding to each the event; and a third step of displaying the determined symbol corresponding to the display timing as second display object symbol having a display size larger than that of the first display object symbol in the second display area, when the vehicle reaches to a position corresponding to the calculated display timing for each of the events. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
