  • Patent number: 9944298
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20150022547
    Abstract: When display of an image that is sent from a portable terminal (101) for a portable screen is divided into screens for two vehicle mounted terminals, an image receiving unit A (21) of a vehicle mounted terminal A (102) receives image data necessary for screen display on both the vehicle mounted terminals from the portable terminal (101) and stores image data necessary for a vehicle mounted terminal B (103) in a huller memory unit (23). Thereafter, a cut-out processing unit (25) cuts out the image data for the display screen of the vehicle mounted terminal A (102) and stores the same in the buffer memory (23). Furthermore, an image transmission unit A (26) provides image data necessary for screen display by the vehicle mounted terminal B (103) when required by the vehicle mounted terminal B (103).
