Route guiding device, route guiding method, and straddle type vehicle

A route guiding method performed by a route guiding device which provides route guidance based on route guidance information, comprising:

• an image acquisition step of acquiring a peripheral image of a vehicle including at least a rear side of the vehicle;
• and
• a display control step of displaying, when guiding a course change of the vehicle before the vehicle reaches a course change point, a direction indication image for the course change and the peripheral image side by side on a display, wherein
• in the display control step, arrangement of the direction indication image and the peripheral image is changed according to a direction of the course change, and
• the peripheral image is arranged on a destination side of the course change on the display, wherein
• the route guiding method further comprises a deriving step of deriving based on the peripheral image, a distance between the vehicle and peripheral objects of the vehicle, wherein
• in the display control step:
• a region in which subjects on a destination side of the course change is extracted from the peripheral image according to a distance between the course change point and the vehicle, and is displayed on the display, and
• in a case where there is a peripheral object approaching within a predetermined distance, a warning is displayed on the display by superimposing the warning at a position corresponding to the peripheral object on the peripheral image, and
• the region to be extracted from the peripheral image is set to a region closer to the vehicle in a case where the distance between the course change point and the vehicle falls below a threshold than in a case where the distance exceeds the threshold.

A straddle type vehicle comprising a display a camera and a control device and providing route guidance based on route guidance information, wherein

• the control device includes
• an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a peripheral image of the straddle type vehicle, including at least a rear side of the straddle type vehicle, captured by the camera, and
• a display control unit configured to display, when guiding a course change of the straddle type vehicle before the straddle type vehicle reaches a course change point, a direction indication image for the course change and the peripheral image side by side on the display, wherein
• the display control unit changes arrangement of the direction indication image and the peripheral image according to a direction of the course change, and
• the peripheral image is arranged on a destination side of the course change on the display, wherein
• the control device further comprises a deriving unit configured to derive, based on the peripheral image, a distance between the straddle type vehicle and peripheral objects of the straddle type vehicle, wherein
• the display control unit extracts, from the peripheral image, a region in which subjects on a destination side of the course change according to a distance between the course change point and the straddle type vehicle, and displays the region on the display,
• in a case where there is a peripheral object approaching within a predetermined distance, the display control unit displays a warning on the display by superimposing the warning at a position corresponding to the peripheral object on the peripheral image, and
• the region to be extracted from the peripheral image is set to a region closer to the straddle type vehicle in a case where the distance between the course change point and the straddle type vehicle falls below a threshold than in a case where the distance exceeds the threshold.
