A presentation control device controlling an information presentation device in a vehicle equipped with a vehicle control device for controlling an acceleration-deceleration function or a steering function, includes: a plan acquisition section that acquires a travel plan indicating a control content of the vehicle; a behavior change determination section that determines whether a control target value relating to a magnitude of a behavior change included in the travel plan is larger than an advance threshold; and a presentation execution section that presents the control content to the occupant using the information presentation device in accordance with the behavior change occurring in the vehicle when the control target value is smaller than the advance threshold, and presents the control content temporarily in advance of an actual behavior change when the control target value is larger than the advance threshold.
A presentation control device that controls an information presentation device to present information to an occupant of a vehicle equipped with a vehicle control device for controlling at least one of an acceleration and deceleration function and a steering function, the presentation control device comprising:

This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-219722 filed on Nov. 9, 2015, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to a presentation control device that is mounted on a vehicle and controls an information presentation device that presents information to an occupant of the vehicle and a presentation control method.
As a conventional technique, for example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a system that collectively presents pieces of information required for a lane change to a driver who is driving a vehicle to support the driving of the driver. Specifically, in the system disclosed in Patent Literature 1, information such as the direction of the lane change, the permissibility of the lane change, a waiting time for the lane change, an acceleration or deceleration required for the lane change, and the position of another vehicle is presented to the driver with an arrow-like display.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure will become more apparent from the following detailed description made with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the layout of a driver's seat and the surroundings thereof in an own vehicle;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the entire configuration of an in-vehicle network;
Hereinbelow, a plurality of embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. Corresponding elements between the respective embodiments may be denoted by the same reference signs to avoid repetitive description. In each of the embodiments, when only a part of a configuration is described, a configuration of the other preceding embodiments can be applied to the other part of the configuration. Further, in addition to a combination of configurations clearly stated in each of the embodiments, configurations of a plurality of embodiments may be partially combined even if not clearly stated unless there is an obstacle in the combination. Further, a combination of configurations described in a plurality of embodiments and modifications which is not clearly stated is also disclosed by the following description.
A human machine interface (HMI) control unit (HCU) 20 of a first embodiment is an electronic device mounted on an own vehicle A as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. The HCU 20 is one of a plurality of nodes provided in an in-vehicle network 1 which is mounted on the own vehicle A. The in-vehicle network 1 includes an ADAS locator 96, an ITS communication device 97, an external recognition system 90, a vehicle control system 60, and an HMI system 10. These configurations are connected to a communication bus 99 and capable of exchanging information therebetween by communication.
The advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) locator 96 is provided with a GNSS receiver, an inertial sensor such as a gyroscopic sensor, and a memory which stores map data. The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver receives positioning signals from a plurality of artificial satellites. The ADAS locator 96 measures the position of the own vehicle A by combining positioning signals received by the GNSS receiver with a result of measurement by the inertial sensor. The ADAS locator 96 reads map data of an area ahead of the own vehicle A from the memory and extracts road information such as the radius of curvature, a turning angle, and a starting position of a curve. The ADAS locator 96 outputs the positional information of the own vehicle A and the road information ahead to the communication bus 99.
