Display control device for vehicle and display control method for vehicle
First Claim
1. A display control device for a vehicle, configured to perform a display control for a display device provided in a meter panel of an automotive meter device, the display control device comprising:
- an operation state determination unit configured to detect an operation state of a respective driving support control implemented by a driving support device;
a steering angle sensor configured to detect a steering angle of the vehicle;
the driving support device configured to activate a driving support control, the driving support control configured to be activated while the vehicle is traveling along a road that is a curved road and to control braking/driving force of respective wheels of the vehicle, wherein the road is determined to be curved based on the steering angle; and
a display controller configured to display a support state displaying image on the display device, the support state displaying image being an image of a vehicle image superimposed on a background image that is a planar image with a predetermined shape,wherein, upon having determined that the driving support control, is activated based on the operation state detected by the operation state determination unit, the display controller changes a shape of a portion of the background image to be displayed on the display device to a curve shape curved in a steering direction determined based on the steering angle.

Abstract
Information display is performed, in which recognizability of information regarding a driving support control is relatively good even in a situation where a driving load is relatively large, the information display not annoying a driver. A display controller displays a support state displaying image, which is an image having a configuration in which a vehicle image is superimposed on a mesh image as a mesh-like planar image, on a liquid crystal display device provided in a meter panel of a meter device. In addition, upon having determined that a driving support control implemented by a driving support device is operating, the display controller performs a display control to change a display mode of a mesh image portion of the support state displaying image, which is to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device, to a preset display mode.

9. A display control method for a vehicle, configured to perform a display control for a display device provided in a meter panel of an automotive meter device, the display control method comprising:
-
detecting, with a steering angle sensor, a steering angle; determining a steering direction based on the steering angle; displaying on the display device a support state displaying image, wherein the image comprises an image of a vehicle superimposed on a background image that is a planar image with a predetermined shape; and in response to a driving support control detecting based on the steering direction that the vehicle is traveling along a curved road, performing a display control to change a shape of a portion of the background image to a curve shape that is curved in the steering direction.

10. A display control method for a vehicle, configured to perform a display control for a display device provided in a meter panel of an automotive meter device, the display control method comprising:
-
detecting, with a steering angle sensor, a steering direction; displaying on the display device a support state displaying image, wherein the image comprises an image of a vehicle superimposed on a background image that is a planar image with a predetermined shape; and in response to a driving support control detecting based on the steering direction that the vehicle is traveling on a straight road, performing a display control to change a shape of the background image to a halfpipe shape in which both ends of the background image in a direction perpendicular to a far and near direction of the background image are lifted up to form walls surrounding crosswise side surfaces of the vehicle image.
