An onboard display control apparatus mounted on a vehicle and controlling a head-up display displaying information is provided. The onboard display apparatus includes: a space information acquisition section that acquires information representing a position of an object in front of the vehicle; an eye point information acquisition section that acquires information representing a position of an eye; a display controller that determines a display mode of a display image, causing the display image to be displayed and overlapped with a specific target in a visual field of a driver; an output section that provides the display image in accordance with the display mode. The display controller adjusts the display mode of the display image based on information representing behavior of the vehicle, information representing a property of an external environment, or information representing physical ability of the driver.

Onboard display control apparatus

A driving assistance device: acquires presentation target information; controls a presentation of the presentation target information; calculates a recognition requisite time which is required for a driver to recognize the presentation target information when the presentation target information is presented; calculates a degree of risk which endangers a safety of the driver; calculates a given driving time according to the degree of risk which endangers the safety of the driver; and calculates a safe driving requisite time, which is a time required for the driver to drive safely, according to the degree of risk which endangers the safety of the driver. In a non-presented state of the presentation target information, when the given driving time becomes longer than a sum of the safe driving requisite time and the recognition requisite time, the driving assistance device presents the presentation target information.

An ECU as a vehicle device includes an image generation unit that generates an image in a predetermined reference coordinate system, a viewpoint position identification unit that identifies a viewpoint position of a driver; a superimposed position identification unit that identifies a display position at which the image is displayed within an eyesight of the driver; an image conversion unit that generates a converted image obtained by converting the image into a coordinate system having the viewpoint position of the driver as a reference point; and a notification unit that displays a display image falling within the converted image so as to be superimposed on the eyesight of the driver with the projection device.

A map difference data distribution system includes a map difference data distribution device including a map difference data storage unit storing map difference data items and a distribution unit distributing map difference data items, and a map data maintaining device including update unit updating map data based on map difference data items. The map difference data storage unit traces the updated data items and data items having dependent relationships with the updated data items back to the different version updates, and stores the data items as map difference data items. The map difference data distribution device includes a non-updated data extraction unit extracting non-updated data items from the map data maintaining device, a grouping unit grouping the data items in dependent relationships, and a distribution data generation unit generating distribution data by arranging grouped records of non-updated data items from higher priority of map element under specified communication traffic volume.

A map difference data delivery system includes a map difference data delivery device and a map data holding device. The map difference data delivery device stores map difference data representing a difference between before and after version update and delivers the map difference data. The map difference data includes map elements updated in the version update and dependent map elements by dating back to update of map elements corresponding to a different version. The dependent map elements are map elements that have a dependent relationship and need to be previously updated to avoid conflict with other map elements when updated. The map difference data delivery device groups data of the dependent map elements that have a dependent relationship in the same version.

An information provision system includes: a vehicular mobile terminal; and a server that accesses a registration database and provides a content to the vehicular mobile terminal. The registration database registers a position-interrelated content provision web page that: specifies the content to be provided according to an input condition; and defines a position-interrelated content to be provided when the vehicular mobile terminal satisfies a trigger condition. The system further includes: a position-interrelated content search device that searches for the position-interrelated content corresponding to a same trigger condition as a moving state of the vehicular mobile terminal when the vehicular mobile terminal accesses the position-interrelated content provision web page and the position-interrelated content provision web page defines the position-interrelated content for the vehicular mobile terminal; and an information provision device that provides a user of the vehicular mobile terminal with a searched position-interrelated content when the trigger condition is satisfied.

In a display-object information displaying apparatus, each display object predetermined as a detection target is detected from image data captured by a front capture apparatus to capture of the front of a vehicle. A recognition failure probability that the driver fails to recognize each display object is evaluated. A memory saves the recognition failure probability and display object data containing display-object information with respect to each display object. A display unit displays the display-object information based on the corresponding display object data saved in the memory with respect to each display object. The display-object information about the display object assigned the higher recognition failure probability is displayed preferentially among the display objects corresponding to the display object data saved in the memory.

Display-object information displaying apparatus

A destination determination device for a vehicle includes: a communication unit that performs a wireless communication with a mobile terminal used by an occupant in the vehicle and having a destination search function; a search condition acquisition unit that acquires destination search conditions from the mobile terminal through the communication unit; a search unit that performs a destination search based on an AND search of a combined search condition in which a plurality of acquired destination search conditions are combined together when the search condition acquisition unit acquires the plurality of destination search condition; and a search result output unit that outputs a search result of the destination search performed by the search unit under the combined search condition.

In a vehicle, positional information of the vehicle and status determination information are serially acquired. Each time a user speaks a speech, speech data is acquired. A storage section stores the acquired speech data, and the positional information and status determination information acquired when the speech data is acquired, in association in a memory, as stored speech data, stored positional information, and stored status determination information. For each stored speech data in the memory, a determination is made whether a first status indicated by the stored positional information and stored status determination information associated with the stored speech data is similar to a second status indicated by the positional information and status determination information newly acquired at a current time. A reporting processor reports, to a driver, information based on the stored speech data when the determination is affirmed.

Reporting apparatus

A vehicle control device includes: a carry-in state determination device that determines whether a portable terminal device to be carried into a vehicle is already carried into the vehicle; a pending process determination device that, when the carry-in state determination device determines that the portable terminal device is already carried into the vehicle, determines whether the portable terminal device has a pending process that is held in an unexecuted state; and a pending process control device that, when the pending process determination device determines that the portable terminal device has the pending process, enables the pending process to be executed by the portable terminal device in the vehicle.
