  • Patent number: 11794768
    Abstract: A safety confirmation support device (equipment system) according to the present disclosure contains hardware of storage unit and CPU processor and several sensing & display devices, and corresponding software including moving object detection unit, risk level detection unit, and output display control unit etc. The moving object detection unit is used to detect an object in a detection area around a vehicle. The risk level detection unit is used to determine, for each detected object, a risk level indicating a level of risk affecting the vehicle. The output display control unit is used to control output display information about the object via the one or more output devices when the risk level of the object is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value, and not to display the information about the object when the risk level is below the threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20230133086
    Abstract: A display control device performs display control on the displays of a vehicle. The display control device includes an obtainer and a display controller. The obtainer obtains switching information indicating that switching between driving modes including an autonomous driving mode and a manual driving mode is to be performed in the vehicle. When the switching information indicates that first switching which is switching from the autonomous driving mode to the manual driving mode is to be performed, the display controller causes, before completion of the first switching, (i) one of the displays (first display) to display first information indicating that the first switching is to be performed and third information indicating that another display (second display) is displaying second information for assisting the user of the vehicle in driving in the manual driving mode and (ii) the second display to display the second information.
