  • Publication number: 20220024314
    Abstract: In a display control for a head-up display of a vehicle, offset information is acquired from a lane keeping control unit that controls the vehicle to travel within a subject vehicle lane on which the vehicle travels. The offset information indicates an offset control to move a traveling position from a center portion of the subject vehicle lane to one of right and left sides. Based on the offset information, an offset content indicating fulfillment of the offset control is superimposedly displayed on a road surface in a foreground.

  • Publication number: 20220018678
    Abstract: In a display control device for a head-up display of a vehicle, it is determined whether a lane change control unit is in a standby state waiting for a lane change of the vehicle. When it is determined that the lane change control unit is not in the standby state, a fulfillment notification content indicating an execution state of the lane change is displayed on a road surface in a foreground in a superimposing manner. When it is determined that the lane change control unit is in the standby state, a standby notification content in a mode different from the fulfillment notification content is displayed on the road surface of the foreground in a superimposing manner, or a standby notification content in a mode associated with the fulfillment notification content is displayed as a non-superimposition content independent of a superimposition target.

  • Publication number: 20220016980
    Abstract: In a display control device for a head-up display of a vehicle, a schedule notification content indicating a fulfillment schedule of a lane change is displayed on a road surface in a foreground in a superimposing manner. When the schedule notification content overreaches an angle of view, a non-superimposition content indicating the fulfillment schedule of the lane change independent of a superimposition target may be displayed, or the schedule notification content may be hidden. In a case where an arrow-shaped schedule notification content, having a tip portion indicating an adjacent lane as a destination of the lane change, is displayed in a superimposing manner on a road surface in the foreground, when the tip portion of the schedule notification content in a reference shape overreaches the angle of view, the schedule notification content may be transformed so that the tip portion is positioned within the angle of view.

    Abstract: A current sensor that outputs an output signal according to a signal magnetic field that is generated by a current to be measured is provided. The current sensor includes at least one magnetic sensor, a temperature sensor, an amplifier, and an offset adjusting circuit. The magnetic sensor generates a sensor signal commensurate with the signal magnetic field. The temperature sensor detects an ambient temperature. The amplifier amplifies the sensor signal at an amplification rate commensurate with the detected temperature and generates the output signal. The offset adjusting circuit adjusts an offset of the output signal. The offset adjusting circuit adjusts an offset in accordance with a relationship (mathematical expression) that holds between an output signal under no signal magnetic field and an amplification rate corresponding to the temperature.
