Display control device and display control method for vehicle

A display control method that is used in a vehicle and performed by at least one of a circuit or a processor, the display control method comprising:

• detecting an obstacle around the vehicle based on a sensing result of a surrounding monitoring sensor that is configured to monitor a surrounding area of the vehicle;
• predicting a trajectory of the vehicle;
• generating a bird's-eye view image which shows the vehicle and the surrounding area of the vehicle from above, using a captured image of a surrounding monitoring camera that is configured to capture the surrounding area of the vehicle;
• and
• displaying at least a part of the generated bird's-eye view image on a screen of a display device, wherein
• the displaying of the at least a part of the bird's-eye view image includes offsetting a range of the bird's-eye view image to be displayed on the screen such that a displayed range of the surrounding area with respect to the vehicle changes according to the predicted trajectory and a position of the obstacle.

A display control device to be used in a vehicle, the display control device comprising:

• an obstacle detecting unit configured to detect an obstacle around the vehicle based on a sensing result of a surrounding monitoring sensor that is configured to monitor a surrounding area of the vehicle;
• a predicted trajectory specifying unit configured to predict a trajectory of the vehicle;
• a bird's-eye view image generating unit configured to generate a bird's-eye view image which shows the vehicle and the surrounding area of the vehicle from above, using a captured image of a surrounding monitoring camera that is configured to capture the surrounding area of the vehicle;
• and
• a display control unit configured to:
• display at least a part of the bird's-eye view image generated by the bird's-eye view image generating unit on a screen of a display device;
• and
• offset a range of the bird's-eye view image to be displayed on the screen such that a displayed range of the surrounding area with respect to the vehicle changes according to the predicted trajectory and a position of the obstacle.
