Abstract

Provided is a display device for a vehicle. The display device includes a display member and a collision predictor. The collision predictor detects one or more moving bodies on and around a course of the vehicle, and predicts collision of the vehicle with the one or more moving bodies detected, and a position of the collision. The display member displays a collision-position mark at a display position in a visual field of a driver, on a condition that the collision of the vehicle with any one of the one or more moving bodies is predictable. The display position is superimposed on the predicted position of the collision. The display member displays a delineator mark that associates the collision-position mark with the relevant one of the one or more moving bodies detected.

First claim

1 . A display device for a vehicle, comprising:
a display member configured to display an image on a front windshield or a screen, the front windshield or the screen being see-through enough to allow a driver to visually check in a traveling direction of the vehicle, and the driver being seated on a driver's seat of the vehicle and operating the vehicle; and a collision predictor configured to detect one or more moving bodies on and around a course of the vehicle, and predicts collision of the vehicle with the one or more moving bodies detected, and a position of the collision, the display member displaying a collision-position mark at a display position in a visual field of the driver who faces the traveling direction, on a condition that the collision of the vehicle with any one of the one or more moving bodies is predictable, the display position being superimposed on the position of the collision predicted by the collision predictor, and the display member displaying a delineator mark that associates the collision-position mark with the relevant one of the one or more moving bodies detected.

2 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the display member displays the delineator mark from the display position of the collision-position mark to a display position superimposed on the relevant one of the one or more moving bodies detected.

3 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the display member displays the delineator mark after displaying the collision-position mark.

4 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein
the display member displays the delineator mark after displaying the collision-position mark.

5 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the collision predictor repetitively predicts the collision of the vehicle with the one or more moving bodies, and the display member stops displaying the collision-position mark and the delineator mark with respect to the relevant one of the one or more moving bodies, on a condition that evasive operations including a course change have been carried out, or on a condition that possibility of the collision has diminished or disappeared.

6 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein
the collision predictor repetitively predicts the collision of the vehicle with the one or more moving bodies, and the display member stops displaying the collision-position mark and the delineator mark with respect to the relevant one of the one or more moving bodies, on a condition that evasive operations including a course change have been carried out, or on a condition that possibility of the collision has diminished or disappeared.

7 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein
the collision predictor repetitively predicts the collision of the vehicle with the one or more moving bodies, and the display member stops displaying the collision-position mark and the delineator mark with respect to the relevant one of the one or more moving bodies, on a condition that evasive operations including a course change have been carried out, or on a condition that possibility of the collision has diminished or disappeared.

8 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein
the collision predictor repetitively predicts the collision of the vehicle with the one or more moving bodies, and the display member stops displaying the collision-position mark and the delineator mark with respect to the relevant one of the one or more moving bodies, on a condition that evasive operations including a course change have been carried out, or on a condition that possibility of the collision has diminished or disappeared.

9 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the one or more moving bodies include a plurality of moving bodies, and the display member displays the delineator mark with respect to a closest one of the plurality of the moving bodies, on a condition that the collision with the plurality of the moving bodies is predictable.

10 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein
the one or more moving bodies include a plurality of moving bodies, and the display member displays the delineator mark with respect to a closest one of the plurality of the moving bodies, on a condition that the collision with the plurality of the moving bodies is predictable.

11 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein
the one or more moving bodies include a plurality of moving bodies, and the display member displays the delineator mark with respect to a closest one of the plurality of the moving bodies, on a condition that the collision with the plurality of the moving bodies is predictable.

12 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein
the one or more moving bodies include a plurality of moving bodies, and the display member displays the delineator mark with respect to a closest one of the plurality of the moving bodies, on a condition that the collision with the plurality of the moving bodies is predictable.

13 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein
the one or more moving bodies include a plurality of moving bodies, and the display member displays the delineator mark with respect to a closest one of the plurality of the moving bodies, on a condition that the collision with the plurality of the moving bodies is predictable.

14 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein
the one or more moving bodies include a plurality of moving bodies, and the display member displays the delineator mark with respect to a closest one of the plurality of the moving bodies, on a condition that the collision with the plurality of the moving bodies is predictable.

15 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein
the one or more moving bodies include a plurality of moving bodies, and the display member displays the delineator mark with respect to a closest one of the plurality of the moving bodies, on a condition that the collision with the plurality of the moving bodies is predictable.

16 . The display device for the vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein
the one or more moving bodies include a plurality of moving bodies, and the display member displays the delineator mark with respect to a closest one of the plurality of the moving bodies, on a condition that the collision with the plurality of the moving bodies is predictable.
