  • Patent number: 11482190
    Abstract: A configuration enables control of an image displayed on the display unit provided on the outer side of the transportation apparatus, such as a bus, resulting in increasing the degree of user attention and obtaining higher advertising effects. A display unit provided on an outer side of a transportation apparatus such as a bus; and an image control unit configured to execute control of a display image on the display unit, are included, and the image control unit executes control to change the display image on the display unit depending on a traveling state of the transportation apparatus. For example, the display image is varied depending on the states of whether the transportation apparatus is accelerating, decelerating, or constant speed traveling. Alternatively, an AR image using a real object near the transportation apparatus is generated for display.
