Abstract

An image display control device according to an embodiment includes a display and a controller. The controller displays a first screen on the display. The first screen includes a first image and a second image. The first image is and image of a vehicle viewed from above. The second image is obtained by capturing a second area that is a part of a first area where is a capturing target around the vehicle. The controller displays, on the display, a third image that is switched from the second image, the third image. The third image is obtained by capturing a third area where is different from the second area. The third is selected as a part of area included in the first area. The controller displays identification information for identifying the third area within the first image, before the second image is switched to the third image.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An image display control device, comprising:
a display; and
a controller that
displays a first screen on the display, the first screen including a first image and a second image, the first image being an image of a vehicle viewed from above, and the second image obtained by capturing a second area that is a part of a first area where is a capturing target around the vehicle;
displays, on the display, a third image that is switched from the second image, the third image being obtained by capturing a third area where is different from the second area, the third area being selected as a part of area included in the first area;
displays identification information for identifying the third area within the first image, before the second image is switched to the third image; and
changes the identification information into a display-hidden state at a same time when the second image is switched to the third image or at a time when a predetermined time has elapsed after the second image is switched to the third image.

2. The image display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller keeps displaying the first image on the first screen and displays a black image instead of the second image prior to the third image during a time until the second image is switched to the third image.

3. The image display control device according to claim 2 , wherein the controller gradually reduces brightness of the second image until the black image is displayed, and gradually increases brightness of the third image after the black image is displayed.

4. The image display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information is information to be displayed in an area of the first image corresponding to the third area in an overlapping manner.

5. An image display control device, comprising:
a display; and
a controller that
displays a first screen on the display, the first screen including a first image and a second image, the first image being an image of a vehicle viewed from above, and the second image obtained by capturing a second area that is a part of a first area where is a capturing target around the vehicle;
displays, on the display, a third image that is switched from the second image, the third image being obtained by capturing a third area where is different from the second area, the third area being selected as a part of area included in the first area;
displays identification information for identifying the third area within the first image, before the second image is switched to the third image;
keeps displaying the first image on the first screen and displays a black image instead of the second image prior to the third image during a time until the second image is switched to the third image; and
gradually reduces brightness of the second image until the black image is displayed, and gradually increases brightness of the third image after the black image is displayed.

6. An image display control device, comprising:
a display; and
a controller that
displays a first screen on the display, the first screen including a first image and a second image, the first image being an image of a vehicle viewed from above, and the second image obtained by capturing a second area that is a part of a first area where is a capturing target around the vehicle;
when an operation is detected, displays identification information for identifying a third area on the first image in an overlapping manner, the third area being selected as a part of an area included in the first area and being different from the second area; and
after the identification information is displayed to the first image in an overlapping manner, displays, on the display, a third image that is switched from the second image, the third image being obtained by capturing the third area;

wherein the controller displays the first screen including a plurality of selection images, and displays, when a touch operation on one of the selection images is performed, the identification information on the first area in an overlapping manner; and
wherein the selection images include at least one of a selection image for selecting a front area that is an area in front of the vehicle, a selection image for selecting a wide-angle area that is an area wider than the front area, a selection image for selecting side areas that are left and right areas of the vehicle, and a selection image for selecting an under-floor area that is an area under a floor of the vehicle.
