Vehicle driving assistance apparatus, vehicle driving assistance method, and computer-readable storage medium storing vehicle driving assistance program

A vehicle driving assistance method of projecting an information providing image onto a predetermined area around an own vehicle by the image projection device, taking an image of a predetermined range including the predetermined area to acquire a predetermined range image by an image acquisition device, and displaying the predetermined range image by a displaying device,

• the information providing image corresponding to an image which indicates information on the own vehicle,
• the displaying device being a device which displays the predetermined range image and a driving assistance image, overlapping the predetermined range image for an operator of the own vehicle, and
• the driving assistance image corresponding to an image which assists a driving operation to the own vehicle by the operator,
• wherein the vehicle driving assistance method comprises a step of displaying the predetermined range image by the displaying device while decreasing a visibility of one of the driving assistance image and the information providing image in the predetermined range image when both of a displaying condition and a projecting condition become satisfied,
• the displaying condition corresponds to a condition for displaying the predetermined range image and the driving assistance image, and
• the projecting condition corresponds to a condition for projecting the information providing image, and
• wherein when both of the displaying condition and the projecting condition become satisfied, displaying the predetermined range image and the driving assistance image by the displaying device while decreasing the visibility of the information providing image in the predetermined range image.
