On-board display control device and on-board display control method
First Claim
1. An on-board display control device configured to display speedometer information and miscellaneous information on an instrument panel display (“
- IP display”
) of a vehicle, the control device comprising;
a nonuse region determination unit configured to determine a nonuse speed region in a speedometer based on a speed of a vehicle; and
a display control unit configured to exercise control such that an enlarged view of the miscellaneous information is displayed over the nonuse speed region when the nonuse region determination unit determines that there is the nonuse speed region in the speedometer;
wherein the nonuse region determination unit is configured to determine when the speed of the vehicle is equal to or less than a first predetermined speed V1 for a predetermined time period, that a region extending from a second predetermined speed V2 toward a higher speed in the speedometer is the nonuse speed region, where the first predetermined speed V1 is less than the second predetermined speed V2.

Abstract
On-board display control methods and systems are provided. In one implementation for displaying speedometer information and miscellaneous information on an instrument panel display, a nonuse region determination unit of an on-board display control device determines a nonuse speed region in a speedometer in accordance with a traveling status of a vehicle. A display control unit of the on-board display control device then exercises control such that an enlarged view of the miscellaneous information is displayed over the nonuse speed region when the nonuse region determination unit determines that there is the nonuse speech region.

11. An on-board display control method for displaying speedometer information and miscellaneous information on an instrument panel display (“
- IP display”
) of a vehicle, the method comprising, in sequence;determining, by a nonuse region determination unit of an on-board display control device, a nonuse speed region in a speedometer based on a speed of a vehicle, wherein when the speed of the vehicle is equal to or less than a first predetermined speed V1 for a predetermined time period, the nonuse region determination unit determines that a region extending from a second predetermined speed V2 toward a higher speed in the speedometer is the nonuse speed region, where the first predetermined speed V1 is less than the second predetermined speed V2; and exercising control, by a display control unit of the on-board display control device, such that an enlarged view of the miscellaneous information is displayed over the nonuse speed region when the nonuse region determination unit determines that there is the nonuse speed region in the speedometer.
