  • Publication number: 20220412763
    Abstract: A configuration is achieved in which display data selected on the basis of characteristic information acquired while a vehicle is traveling is displayed on a display unit inside the vehicle. The configuration has a data processing unit that executes display control of data output to the display unit provided inside a mobile device. The data processing unit acquires characteristic information while the mobile device is traveling, and decides, on the basis of the acquired characteristic information, display data to be output to the display unit. The data processing unit selects display data recorded corresponding to the acquired characteristic information from a characteristic-information corresponding display data storage database, generates an AR image obtained by superimposing the selected display data on a real object image that is an image captured by a camera mounted on the mobile device, and outputs the AR image to the display unit.
