Abstract

A display system and an in-vehicle system include a display device provided at a vehicle and configured to display a person image indicating a person at a position visible from the outside of the vehicle; and a controller configured to acquire surrounding status information indicating a surrounding status of the vehicle and control the display device based on the acquired surrounding status information, thereby the executing external display processing of displaying the person image. As a result, the display system and the in-vehicle system provide an advantageous effect that easily-understandable displaying can be performed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display system comprising:
a display device provided at a vehicle and configured to display a person image indicating a person at a position visible from an outside of the vehicle; and
a controller configured to control the display device based on surrounding status information indicating a surrounding status of the vehicle, thereby executing external display processing of displaying the person image, wherein
the display device displays the person image at a position visible from an inside of the vehicle, and
the controller controls the display device based on internal status information indicating an internal status of the vehicle, thereby executing internal display processing of displaying the person image.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein
the controller executes the external display processing of changing an expression or a gesture of the person indicated by the person image according to the surrounding status information.

3. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein
the display device has a display surface configured to display the person image on a window shield, the window shield being provided at the vehicle and at least a visible light component of light being permeable through the window shield.

4. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein
the display device has a display surface configured to display the person image on a window shield, the window shield being provided at the vehicle and at least a visible light component of light being permeable through the window shield.

5. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein
the display device has a display surface movable between a display position at which the person image is displayed at a position facing a window shield inside the vehicle and a retraction position retracted from the display position, the window shield being provided at the vehicle and at least a visible light component of light being permeable through the window shield.

6. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein
the display device has a display surface movable between a display position at which the person image is displayed at a position facing a window shield inside the vehicle and a retraction position retracted from the display position, the window shield being provided at the vehicle and at least a visible light component of light being permeable through the window shield.

7. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein
the display device has a display surface configured to display the person image on a body member, the body member being provided at the vehicle and blocking at least light with a visible light component.

8. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein
the display device has a display surface configured to display the person image on a body member, the body member being provided at the vehicle and blocking at least light with a visible light component.

9. An in-vehicle system comprising:
a display device provided at a vehicle and configured to display a person image indicating a person at a position visible from an outside of the vehicle;
a detection device configured to detect surrounding status information indicating a surrounding status of the vehicle; and
a controller configured to control the display device based on the surrounding status information detected by the detection device, thereby executing external display processing of displaying the person image, wherein
the display device displays the person image at a position visible from an inside of the vehicle, and
the controller controls the display device based on internal status information indicating an internal status of the vehicle, thereby executing internal display processing of displaying the person image.

10. A display system comprising:
a display device provided at a vehicle and configured to display a person image indicating a person at a position visible from an outside of the vehicle; and
a controller configured to control the display device based on surrounding status information indicating a surrounding status of the vehicle, thereby executing external display processing of displaying the person image, wherein
the display device has a display surface configured to display the person image on a body member, the body member being provided at the vehicle and blocking at least light with a visible light component.
