Abstract
A display control device includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire a travel route of a vehicle, in a case in which the vehicle, traveling on a travel path, changes a travel direction to another travel path, set a display position of a guidance display that guides the travel direction with respect to a display region of a display unit, on the basis of a positional relationship between the display region and the other travel path, and display the guidance display, the display position of which has been set relative to a view ahead of the vehicle, so as to be superimposed on the display region.
Claims5
A display control device, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- (i) acquire a travel route of a vehicle, the travel route including a first travel path and a second travel path that turns at an intersection from the first travel path;
- (ii) when there is a course change from the first travel path to the second travel path at the intersection, determines whether the second travel path exists outside or inside a determination region set in a display region of a display unit, the second travel path being determined to exist inside the determination region when a main portion of the second travel path is included in a foreground of a viewpoint of a driver on the display region, the main portion of the second travel path including a range of a distance from the intersection until the course change has been completed;
- (iii) set a display position on the display region of a guidance display that guides the vehicle at a corner that is at a left side and a near side of the intersection of the display region when the second travel path exists outside the determination region and the course change is a left turn;
- (iv) set the display position of the guidance display at a corner that is at a right side and a far side of the intersection of the display region when the second travel path exists outside the determination region and the course change is a right turn;
- (v) set the display position of the guidance display at a side of the first travel path in the display region when the second travel path exists inside the determination region;
- (vi) display the guidance display, the display position of which has been set relative to a view ahead of the vehicle, so as to be superimposed on the display region;
- and
- (vii) repeat the above (i) to (vi).

A display method, by which a computer executes processing comprising:
- (i) acquiring a travel route of a vehicle, the travel route including a first travel path and a second travel path that turns at an intersection from the first travel path;
- (ii) when there is a course change from the first travel path to the second travel path at the intersection, determining whether the second travel path exists outside or inside a determination region set in a display region of a display unit, the second travel path being determined to exist inside the determination region when a main portion of the second travel path is included in a foreground of a viewpoint of a driver on the display region, the main portion of the second travel path including a range of a distance from the intersection until the course change has been completed;
- (iii) setting a display position on the display region of a guidance display that guides the vehicle at a corner that is at left side and a near side of the intersection of the display region when the second travel path exists outside the determination region and the course change is a left turn;
- (iv) setting the display position of the guidance display at a corner that is at a right side and a far side of the intersection of the display region when the second travel path exists outside the determination region and the course change is a right turn;
- (v) setting the display position of the guidance display at a side of the first travel path in the display region when the second travel path exists inside the determination region;
- (vi) displaying the guidance display, the display position of which has been set relative to a view ahead of the vehicle, so as to be superimposed on the display region;
- and
- (vii) repeating the above (i) to (vi).

A non-transitory storage medium storing a display program executable by a computer to perform processing, the processing comprising:
- (i) acquiring a travel route of a vehicle the travel route including a first travel path and a second travel path that turns at an intersection from the first travel path;
- (ii) when there is a course change from the first travel path to the second travel path at the intersection, determining whether the second travel path exists outside or inside a determination region set in a display region of a display unit, the second travel path being determined to exist inside the determination region when a main portion of the second travel path is included in a foreground of a viewpoint of a driver on the display region, the main portion of the second travel path including a range of a distance from the intersection until the course change has been completed;
- (iii) setting a display position on the display region of a guidance display that guides the vehicle at a corner that is at a left side and a near side of the intersection of the display region when the second travel path exists outside the determination region and the course change is a left turn;
- (iv) setting the display position of the guidance display at a corner that is at a right side and a far side of the intersection of the display region when the second travel path exists outside the determination region and the course change is a right turn;
- (v) setting the display position of the guidance display at a side of the first travel path in the display region when the second travel path exists inside the determination region;
- (vi) displaying the guidance display, the display position of which has been set relative to a view ahead of the vehicle, so as to be superimposed on the display region;
- and
- (vii) repeating the above (i) to (vi).
