Information provision device for vehicle
First Claim
1. An information provision device for vehicle comprising:
- an onboard device having a display unit configured to display various states of a vehicle to a user as vehicle state information and first microcomputer configured to activate the display unit; and
an external device having second microcomputer connected to the onboard device via connecting means and configured to output external information of the vehicle to the first microcomputer, whereinthe display unit includes;
a first display region configured to display the vehicle state information, anda second display region configured to display the external information of the vehicle, andthe first microcomputer is configured to;
determine priority between the vehicle state information and the external information of the vehicle;
if a predetermined condition is not met, control the display unit to operate so that a display region of the first display region and the second display region with the information determined to have higher priority has a larger area than the other display region of the first display region and the second display region, andif the predetermined condition is met, control the display unit to operate so that;
the other display region has a larger area than the display region with the information determined to have higher priority, andwhen the predetermined condition is met, control the display unit to operate so that;
display size of information displayed on the other display region is larger than before occurrence of the predetermined condition, anddisplay size of information displayed on the display region with information determined to have higher priority is smaller than before occurrence of the predetermined condition,wherein the first microcomputer determines whether or not the predetermined condition is met on the basis of vehicle speed information which indicates a vehicle traveling speed included in the vehicle state information.

Abstract
An information provision device for a vehicle allows information to be provided to a user appropriately, and includes an onboard device having a first control means that operates a display unit, and an external device having a second control means that outputs information from outside the vehicle to the first control means. The display unit includes a first region in which vehicle-status information is displayed and a second region in which the information from outside the vehicle is displayed. The first control means can determine priorities for the vehicle-status information and the information from outside the vehicle. The first control means operates the display unit such that either the first region or the second region, which contains high-priority information, is larger than the other. If prescribed conditions occur, the first control means operates the display unit such that the region containing low-priority information is larger than the other.
