1. A vehicular image control apparatus to a vehicle, comprising:
- a display controller configured todistribute a plurality of different visual outputs generated, respectively, by a plurality of different applications that are simultaneously running, to a plurality of image display units separately mounted in the vehicle andcause the image display units to display the respective distributed visual outputs,wherein;
(i) the different applications include a plurality of different camera applications corresponding to a single subject camera mounted in the vehicle that are able to be simultaneously executed;
(ii) the plurality of different camera applications generating respective visual outputs of images captured by the single subject camera includes(a) a second camera application generating a second visual output, the second camera application being executed to display the second visual output in response to a predetermine display condition becoming established, and(b) a first camera application generating a first visual output, the first camera application being any one of the different camera applications excluding the second camera application; and
(iii) the display controller is configured to(a) replace the first visual output generated by the first camera application with the second visual output generated by the second camera application by hiding the first visual output from any one of the screens of the image display units, and(b) cause any one of the screens of the image display units to display the second visual output generated by the second camera application, in response to the predetermined display condition becoming established under a situation where the first visual output generated by the first camera application corresponding to the subject camera isdisplayed on any one of the screens of the image display units,the display controller causes one of the visual outputs that are respectively generated by the plurality of different camera applications corresponding to the single subject camera to be exclusively displayed.

Abstract
An audio/visual control apparatus includes a plurality of displays. A reverse driving camera application may be launched to display a camera image dedicated to reverse driving in a situation where another camera application is already running and causing a particular image to be displayed on a subject display of the displays. Such case causes an on-screen image displayed on the subject display to be switched from the particular image to a reverse driving image generated by the reverse driving camera application, regardless of normal display switching priorities.
