Abstract: A display control device includes a determination unit and a controller. The determination unit determines whether or not a subject viewed from a passenger falls within a display range of a virtual image based on the position information of the subject acquired from a recognition unit that recognizes the subject in the foreground of a moving object and the estimated value of a depression angle acquired from an estimation unit that estimates the depression angle when the virtual image is viewed from the passenger. In a case where the subject is determined to fall within the display range, the controller controls a display unit to generate an image that represents a first display image showing the information corresponding to the subject.

Abstract: In a video display control device, a control data generating section allocates a part of a dynamic range of a high gradation region of a video signal to a low gradation region, and a backlight controlling section controls a light emission luminance of a backlight so as to cancel an increase or decrease of a mean luminance of a video displayed on a screen in accordance with an increase or decrease of the mean luminance of a video signal after correction with respect to a mean luminance of the video signal.

Abstract: A map information creation device for presenting information at an appropriate time includes: an operation obtaining unit which obtains operation information indicating (i) each of positions passed through by a movable body that is moved by a user and (ii) a frequency of an operation performed on a device by a user of the movable body when the movable body is at the position; a determining unit which determines, for each of positions on a map, whether or not information presentation is allowed, based on the frequency at the position indicated by the operation information; and a creating unit which creates the map information indicating a result of the determination by the determining unit for each position on the map.

Abstract: A presentation information learning method for performing learning for presenting information to a driver of a movable body, the presentation information learning method including: obtaining a result of a response from a driver to a presentation information item which is an information item included in a plurality of presentable information items and presented to the driver; identifying a driving load on the driver; and performing the learning by updating a reference information item associated with the presentation information item from among reference information items which are associated one-to-one with a plurality of presentable information items and are referred to for judging whether or not the presentation information items are to be presented, based on the driving load identified and the obtained result of the response.

Abstract: A video display control device includes a video signal processing section that corrects a video signal and outputs a video signal after correction to a display, and a backlight controlling section that controls a light emission amount of a backlight. A control data generating section allocates to a low gradation region of the video signal a high gradation region dynamic range of the video signal in which a video signal corresponding to a black band region is excluded. The backlight controlling section controls a light emission luminance of the backlight so as to cancel out an increase or a decrease in the mean luminance of the video displayed on a screen.
