Patent number: 10604158Abstract: A driver can intuitively and conveniently perform an operation for instructing a traffic lane change to a vehicle. In a driving support device 10, an image output unit 14a outputs, to a display unit 31, an image containing an own vehicle object representing an own vehicle and a plurality of traffic lanes. An operation signal input unit 14b receives an operation of a user for moving the own vehicle object in the image displayed on the display unit 31 from a first traffic lane to a second traffic lane. A command output unit 14c outputs, to an automatic driving control unit 20 that controls automatic driving, a command for instructing the change of a traveling traffic lane of the own vehicle from the first traffic lane to the second traffic lane when the operation is received.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2018Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazushige Yamada, Osamu Yamaji, Azusa Gojyo, Satoshi Kajita, Toshiaki Mori, Makoto Okada

Publication number: 20190113394Abstract: A driver can intuitively and conveniently perform an operation for instructing passing to a vehicle. In a driving support device, an image output unit outputs, to a display unit, an image containing an own vehicle object representing an own vehicle and an another vehicle object representing another vehicle in front of the own vehicle object. An operation signal input unit receives an operation of a user for changing the positional relationship between the own vehicle object and the another vehicle object in the image displayed on the display unit. A command output unit outputs, to an automatic driving control unit, a command for instructing the own vehicle to pass the another vehicle when the positional relationship between the own vehicle object and the another vehicle object is changed such that the own vehicle object is positioned in front of the another vehicle object.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2018Publication date: April 18, 2019Inventors: KAZUSHIGE YAMADA, OSAMU YAMAJI, AZUSA GOJYO, SATOSHI KAJITA, TOSHIAKI MORI, MAKOTO OKADA
