IMAGE GENERATING APPARATUS AND IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An image generating apparatus that generates an image to be displayed on a display apparatus mounted on a vehicle, the image generating apparatus comprising:
- a mode receiving section that receives an instruction from a user, the instruction for selecting a display mode from among a plurality of display modes to make the display apparatus display an image showing the periphery of the vehicle during a transmission of the vehicle is shifted in a reverse gear, and for setting the selected display mode as a current mode, the display modes being different from each other;
a nonvolatility storing section that stores mode information indicating the current mode which has been most recently set;
a generating section that generates the image of one of the display modes in accordance with the mode information stored in the storing section; and
an output section that outputs the generated image to the display apparatus,wherein the generating section generates an image of the current mode when the mode information indicates a display mode other than a first specific display mode in the display modes as the current mode, andwherein the generating section generates an image of a second specific display mode different from the first specific display mode when the mode information indicates the first specific display mode as the current mode.

Abstract
A technology that does not require complicated operation to select a display mode is provided. In an image display system, a back mode stores a display mode that has been recently set as a current mode. When the display mode becomes the back mode next time, the display mode that has been recently set as a current mode is set as a current mode immediately after the display mode becomes the back mode. Accordingly, the driver does not need to perform the complicated operation to select a desired display mode each time the vehicle is reversed.
