  • Patent number: 11245866
    Abstract: A display control device is disposed in a vehicle in which a camera photographing a first captured image indicating an image on a rear right side of the vehicle and a display displaying the first captured image are mounted. The display control device includes an image acquiring unit acquiring the first captured image from the camera and a display control unit controlling the first captured image displayed on the display. The display control unit causes the display to display one of a narrow angle image indicating a part of the first captured image and a wide angle image indicating an image in a range wider than the narrow angle image in the first captured image and to display the first captured image such that a size of a first region in displaying the wide angle image is larger than a size of the first region displaying the narrow angle image.

  • Patent number: 7634356
    Abstract: When there is an area (chargeable area) that may be avoided, a suitable bypass route is presented with suitable timing. When a retrieved recommended route passes through an area (for example, a chargeable area) that may be avoided, a navigation device searches in advance for a bypass route that starts from a branch point (such as an intersection) on the recommended route before the area and bypasses the area without taking a long way around the area. The navigation device presents the recommended route before the area is approached, and presents the bypass route for the first time when the branch point becomes near.
