  • Publication number: 20240046661
    Abstract: A display control system is a display control system which is for controlling a first display region and a second display region (a first display screen and a second display screen) arranged in a vehicle, and which includes: an analyzer which obtains captured images of the first display region which displays a video and the second display region which displays a video, and analyzes, based on the captured images obtained, display modes which are a display mode of the video displayed in the first display region and a display mode of the video displayed in the second display region; and an information generator which generates, for each of the display modes, display adjustment information for adjusting the display mode, based on at least a result of analysis by the analyzer, and outputs the display adjustment information generated.

  • Patent number: 11865918
    Abstract: The display control device includes a controller that controls a first display and a second display to control displaying of first information and second information. The controller obtains gaze information indicating a driver's gaze, and the driver's gaze indicated by the gaze information is directed at neither the first display nor the second display. In the situation, if a second event further occurs while the first display is displaying the first information because of the occurrence of a first event, the controller changes the display position of the second information to display the second information on the first display. In the situation, if the first event further occurs while the second display is displaying the second information because of the occurrence of the second event, the controller changes the display position of the first information to display the first information on the second display.

  • Patent number: 11657709
    Abstract: A safety confirmation support system includes: a moving object detector which detects a moving object in each of detection regions set around the vehicle; display units each associated with a different one of the detection regions; a line-of-sight detector which detects a line of sight of the driver; and a display controller which controls the display units based on detection results from the moving object detector and the line-of-sight detector. When the moving object is detected in a specified detection region, the display controller (i) displays moving object information on a specified display unit associated with the specified detection region when the line of sight is away from the specified detection region, and (ii) stops display of the moving object information on the specified display unit when the line of sight is towards the specified detection region while the moving object information is displayed on the specified display unit.
