Abstract
A vehicle display device is provided, the vehicle display device including a communication section configured to receive an image of a remote driver remotely operating a vehicle, an external vehicle display section configured to display an image externally to the vehicle, and a display control section configured to cause the image of the remote driver received by the communication section to be displayed on the external vehicle display section.
Claims18
A vehicle control method comprising:
- receiving a remote operation instruction for a vehicle from a remote operation terminal;
- receiving an image of a remote operator who performs remote operation of the vehicle using the remote operation terminal;
- and
- displaying the image of the remote operator on an external vehicle display section.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute vehicle control processing, the vehicle control processing comprising:
- receiving a remote operation instruction for a vehicle from a remote operation terminal;
- receiving an image of a remote operator who performs remote operation of the vehicle using the remote operation terminal;
- and
- displaying the image of the remote operator on an external vehicle display section.
A vehicle comprising:
- a communication section configured to receive a remote operation instruction for the vehicle from a remote operation terminal, and an image of a remote operator remotely operating the vehicle using the remote operation terminal;
- an external vehicle display section configured to display an image externally to the vehicle;
- and
- a display control section configured to cause the image of the remote operator received by the communication section to be displayed on the external vehicle display section.
A vehicle control method comprising:
- receiving a remote driving request for a vehicle from a first terminal used by a user;
- transmitting the remote driving request to a second terminal configured to perform remote operation of the vehicle by a remote operator, conferring driving authority on the second terminal, and enabling communication between the second terminal and the vehicle;
- transmitting a remote operation instruction to the vehicle from the second terminal;
- imaging the remote operator using an image-capture section of the second terminal, and transmitting a captured image to the vehicle;
- and
- causing a vehicle display device of the vehicle to display the received captured image on an external vehicle display section configured to display an image externally to the vehicle.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute vehicle control processing, the vehicle control processing comprising:
- receiving a remote driving request for a vehicle from a first terminal used by a user;
- transmitting the remote driving request to a second terminal configured to perform remote operation of the vehicle by a remote operator, conferring driving authority on the second terminal, and enabling communication between the second terminal and the vehicle;
- transmitting a remote operation instruction to the vehicle from the second terminal;
- imaging the remote operator using an image-capture section of the second terminal, and transmitting a captured image to the vehicle;
- and
- causing a vehicle display device of the vehicle to display the received captured image on an external vehicle display section configured to display an image externally to the vehicle.
