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.
Claims12
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, and
- wherein 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.
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;
- 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 storing section stores the mode information indicating the current mode when the current mode which has been most recently set is a display mode other than a first specific display mode in the display modes, and
- wherein the storing section stores the mode information indicating a second specific display mode different from the first specific display mode when the current mode which has been most recently set is the first specific display mode.
