## Abstract

A remote instruction system displays a surrounding environment image to a remote commander based on detection data from an external sensor of a vehicle sent, via a plurality of communication networks, from the vehicle configured to execute remote support according to a remote instruction from the remote commander. The remote instruction system includes an integrated information generation unit and a display generation unit. The display control unit selects one target area from a plurality of display areas, and displays an image representing integrated information in the selected target area.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A remote instruction system configured to display a surrounding environment image to a remote commander based on detection data from an external sensor of a vehicle sent from the vehicle via a plurality of communication networks, the vehicle being configured to execute remote support according to a remote instruction from the remote commander, the remote instruction system comprising:
an integrated information generation unit configured to generate, based on communication quality information of each of the communication networks, integrated information of a plurality of pieces of the communication quality information; and
a display control unit configured to acquire display data of the surrounding environment image based on the detection data received from the vehicle and display the surrounding environment image in one or more of a plurality of display areas for the remote commander, wherein
the display control unit is configured to select one target area from the display areas and display an image representing the integrated information in the selected target area.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The remote instruction system according to claim 1, wherein the display control unit is configured to, in a case where part of the detection data is sent from the vehicle, select the target area from the display areas in which the surrounding environment image corresponding to the part of the detection data is displayed.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The remote instruction system according to claim 1, wherein
the integrated information generation unit is configured to generate a recommended speed as the integrated information, the recommended speed being a vehicle speed of the vehicle according to the communication quality information, and
the display control unit is configured to display an image representing the recommended speed in the target area.

### Claim 4

A non-transitory storage medium storing a remote instruction program configured to cause a processor to operate to display a surrounding environment image to a remote commander based on detection data from an external sensor of a vehicle sent from the vehicle via a plurality of communication networks, the vehicle being configured to execute remote support according to a remote instruction from the remote commander, wherein
the remote instruction program is configured to cause the processor to operate as an integrated information generation unit and a display control unit, the integrated information generation unit being configured to generate, based on communication quality information of each of the communication networks, integrated information of a plurality of pieces of the communication quality information, and the display control unit being configured to acquire display data of the surrounding environment image based on the detection data received from the vehicle and display the surrounding environment image in one or more of a plurality of display areas for the remote commander, and
the remote instruction program is configured to cause the processor to operate in such a manner that the display control unit selects one target area from the display areas and displays an image representing the integrated information in the selected target area.
