Display control device, and display control method
First Claim
1. A display control device for controlling a display of a display unit mounted in a vehicle, the display control device comprising:
- a dedicated middleware that executes a dedicated application program prepared on a vehicle side;
a general purpose middleware that executes a general purpose application program delivered from an external of the vehicle and that are frequently released and easy to add and delete become available without having to connect a mobile terminal; and
an interface that exchanges necessary information between the dedicated middleware and the general purpose middleware;
a CPU that performs an activation of the dedicated middleware first on start-up, that performs an activation of the general purpose middleware after performing the activation of the dedicated middleware, and that displays on the display of the display unit, before an the activation of the general purpose middleware is completed by the CPU, a dedicated menu screen for activating the dedicated application program on the display unit via the dedicated middleware in response to the activation of the dedicated middleware being completed and the dedicated application program on the dedicated middleware being available by enabling a user to start the dedicated application program while displaying an incomplete message of the general-purpose middleware.

Abstract
A display control device for controlling a display unit in a vehicle, including a dedicated middleware that executes a dedicated application program on a vehicle side, a general purpose middleware that executes a general purpose application program from an external of the vehicle, and an interface that exchanges necessary information between the dedicate middleware and the general purpose middleware, includes: an activation device that activates the dedicated middleware first, and activates the general purpose middleware after the dedicated middleware; and a dedicated display control device that displays, before an activation of the general-purpose middleware is completed, a dedicated menu screen for activating the dedicated application program on the display unit via the dedicated middleware when the dedicated application program on the dedicated middleware is available.

8. A display control method for controlling a display of a display unit mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
-
performing an activation of a general-purpose middleware that executes a dedicated application program prepared on a vehicle side first on start-up; performing an activation of a general-purpose middleware that executes a general-purpose application program delivered from an external of the vehicle and that are frequently released and easy to add and delete become available without having to connect a mobile terminal after the activation of the dedicated middleware; displaying, before the activation of the general-purpose middleware is completed, a dedicated menu screen for activating the dedicated application program on the display unit via the dedicated middleware in response to the activation of the dedicated middleware being completed and the dedicated application program on the dedicated middleware being available by enabling a user to start the dedicated application program while displaying an incomplete message of the general-purpose middleware; and exchanging necessary information between the dedicated middleware and the general-purpose middleware through an interface.
