Driving assistance system
First Claim
1. A driving assistance system that is provided in a subject vehicle and communicates with at least one of remote driving assistance systems, the driving assistance system comprising:
- a detecting unit that detects a position of the subject vehicle and outputs positional information;
a communicating unit that communicates with a remote driving assistance system;
a displaying unit that displays various information; and
a controlling unit thatsends the positional information outputted by the detecting unit via the communicating unit to the remote driving assistance system,receives comparable positional information of a given vehicle that is provided with the remote driving assistance system via the communicating unit from the remote driving assistance system, andcauses the displaying unit to display using a vehicular model a positional relationship between the subject vehicle and the given vehicle based on the positional information of the subject vehicle and the comparable positional information of the given vehicle, while the subject vehicle approaches and passes the given vehicle,wherein the vehicular model includes shapes of related vehicles relating to the positional information and the comparable positional information.

Abstract
When a driving assistance system of a navigation device in a subject vehicle is able to communicate with a cooperative remote driving assistance system in an oncoming vehicle, images are obtained from individual front monitor cameras of the subject vehicle and the oncoming vehicle. These obtained images are exchanged. From within these images, common objects are recognized to thereby compute a positional relationship between the subject vehicle and the oncoming vehicle. The computed positional relationship is then shown in a display unit by a vehicular model using an outline of a top view of a vehicle. Consequently, a driver can intuitively recognize the positional relationship between the subject vehicle and the oncoming vehicle by seeing the display unit.

11. A driving assistance system that is provided in a subject vehicle and communicates with at least one of remote driving assistance systems, the driving assistance system comprising:
-
an image outputting unit that photographs a surrounding area of the subject vehicle to thereby output an image; a communicating unit that communicates with a remote driving assistance system; a displaying unit that displays various information; and a controlling unit that sends the image outputted by the image outputting unit via the communicating unit to the remote driving assistance system, receives a comparable image via the communicating unit from the remote driving assistance system, and causes the displaying unit to display using a vehicular model a positional relationship between the subject vehicle and a given vehicle where the remote driving assistance system is provided based on the image and the comparable image, while the subject vehicle approaches and passes the given vehicle, wherein the vehicular model includes shapes of related vehicles relating to the image and the comparable image. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A driving assistance system that is provided in a subject vehicle and communicates with at least one of remote driving assistance systems, the driving assistance system comprising:
-
a communicating unit that communicates with a given remote driving assistance system provided in a given vehicle; an obtaining unit that obtains vehicle-related information relating to at least one of the subject vehicle and the given vehicle; a displaying unit that displays various information; and a controlling unit that sends the obtained vehicle-related information via the communicating unit to the given remote driving assistance system, receives comparable vehicle-related information via the communicating unit from the given remote driving assistance system, and causes the displaying unit to display a positional relationship between related vehicles relating to the vehicle-related information and the comparable vehicle-related information, using a vehicular model that includes shapes of the related vehicles, based on the vehicle-related information and the comparable vehicle-related information, while the subject vehicle approaches and passes the given vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)
