Description

  The present invention relates to, for example, a system and program for displaying personality information on a boarding date on a display means.

  There are various types of electronic devices mounted on automobiles such as radar detectors and car navigation devices. These electronic devices include, for example, a control unit that controls the device, a storage unit that stores various information necessary for the control, and a display unit that displays a processing result of the control unit. The display means is composed of a small display or the like, and this display is disposed in the vicinity of the driver's seat, and the user operates the electronic device by an input from a touch panel, a remote controller or the like.

  Many of these in-vehicle electronic devices do not always perform processing even while the vehicle is running. For example, a radar detector is in a state of waiting for processing until a radar is detected. Further, for example, the car navigation device is in a process waiting state when route guidance is not being performed.

  In the processing waiting state, the display on the in-vehicle electronic device is often turned off or a standby screen indicating that the processing is waiting is displayed. In many cases, the standby screen simply displays an image such as a manufacturer's logo image.

  However, in recent years, attempts have been made to display various information on the standby screen to increase the convenience and added value of the in-vehicle electronic device (for example, see Patent Document 1). Information to be displayed on the standby screen includes, for example, general information such as date and clock, vehicle state information such as vehicle tilt, tire air pressure, or vehicle acceleration.

JP 2012-194016 A

  However, since the contents of general information such as date and clock and vehicle status information do not change greatly depending on the boarding date, users who do not feel freshness of such information do not pay much attention to the standby screen. There is a possibility that Therefore, there is a need to increase the added value of in-vehicle electronic devices by displaying information that gives an impression that the boarding date is a special day that is different from other days and allowing the user to look at the standby screen. It was.

  The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and its purpose is to make the user recognize that the day of boarding the vehicle has a different personality from other days, The purpose is to provide a system and the like that makes the user feel fresh and surprised every time they board.

(1) A system according to the present invention is a system for performing control for displaying information on a display means, and for performing control for displaying personality information of the boarding date on the display means together with the date of boarding date of the vehicle. It has control means.

  The date of boarding date is only inorganic information, but by displaying the date-specific personality information together with the date, the user can recognize that the date of boarding has a different personality from other days. As a result, users can feel fresh and surprised every time they board the vehicle, rather than ride on the vehicle in a similar manner every day. It can also lead to safety.

  For example, the display means may be visually recognized by a vehicle occupant. For example, from the viewpoint of application to various in-vehicle electronic devices, the display unit may be a display screen. The date of boarding the vehicle may be the current date, for example, and may be obtained from current date generation means such as a real-time clock backed up by a battery. It is more preferable to use a configuration in which the current date and time are used, with the configuration of acquiring via GPS, a mobile phone network, or the Internet.

  The personality information of the boarding date may be incorporated into the program, for example, or may be obtained from a storage means provided in a server or the like via a network. In particular, the storage means built in or connected to the equipment in the vehicle It is also possible to store this information in memory.

  The personality information on the boarding date may be, for example, information stored by associating the personality information with information related to the date on which the personality information is to be displayed. The control for displaying the personality information on the boarding date on the display means is performed by, for example, extracting the date on which the personality information is to be displayed and the current date acquired from the current date generating means is the same, The personal information stored in association with the information may be displayed. The information regarding the date on which the individuality information is to be displayed may be, for example, date information on a specific day, date information on a plurality of different days, or date information indicating a range of days.

(2) As the individuality information of the boarding date, for example, information indicating a characteristic different from other days of the boarding date may be provided. Thereby, it can be impressed with respect to the user who saw the individuality information that the boarding date is a special day different from other days.

  As information indicating such a feature that can impress the user that the boarding date is a special day different from other days, for example, the user can feel daily changes such as a calendar or a clock. For difficult inorganic information, it is preferable that the user who sees the information has some impression or feeling about the boarding date.

  The feature different from the other days of the boarding date does not need to be a feature different from all the other days of the boarding date, and for example, may be a feature different from at least the days before and after that.

  Information that shows the characteristics of the boarding date different from other days may be composed of, for example, single information whose contents change on a daily basis, or a combination of such information whose contents change on a daily basis. May be configured. Further, for example, a plurality of items whose contents change in a single unit in a period longer than a day unit may be combined to constitute information indicating a characteristic different from other days of boarding.

(3) As the individuality information on the boarding date, for example, a plurality of pieces of information with different contents may be provided. The plurality of pieces of information need not be all information that changes in units of one day, and may be, for example, a plurality of pieces of information whose contents change in different units or periods. Thereby, a combination of a plurality of information forms a personality different from the other days of the boarding date as a whole, and at the same time, each information can allow the user to experience a large seasonal change such as a seasonal change.

(4) As the individuality information of the boarding date, for example, information regarding the boarding date, such as six days of the week, 24th season, 72 weather, moon phases, moon age, tides or anniversary dates, or a combination of these information It is good to prepare. These pieces of information are different from inorganic information such as mere dates, and have meanings in themselves, so that the user can feel different personalities from other days of boarding.

  For example, every 6th day has meaning in each name itself. Twenty-four seasonal signs and seventy-two signs are a kind of calendar similar to the Gregorian calendar used to indicate the current date, but they feel the transition of the name season of each day. Moon phases, age, and tides change from day to day in a cycle of about 29 days.

  For example, if the boarding date is “Daan” on 6th, the user can feel good luck on the boarding date. Also, for example, if the boarding date is “Cherry Blossom Opening” with 72 weather signs, the user can feel the freshness due to the changing seasons.

  Similarly, the anniversary information can make the user feel the special personality of the boarding date. The anniversary is preferably a user's personal anniversary such as a birthday or a wedding anniversary. In addition, for example, it may be an anniversary such as a holiday established by a public institution. In addition, for example, it may be an anniversary created by a company or industry group based on a date match. For example, when the boarding date is assigned as an anniversary of “bath day” by wording together, the user can feel unexpectedness in the information of the unexpected anniversary.

  These pieces of information are also examples of information whose contents change in different units or periods. For example, on the 6th day, the content changes in units of one day, and the change is repeated in a cycle of six days. Seventy-two signs are those whose contents change every 5 days, and that change is repeated every year. Like the age of the moon, the content changes in units of one day, and the change is repeated in a cycle of about 29 days. Anniversary days may not exist, but the content changes basically on a daily basis, and the change is repeated in a yearly cycle.

  Information that changes on a day-by-day basis and has a long cycle, such as an anniversary, may be used, for example, as information that shows different characteristics from other days on the boarding date alone, thereby simplifying the individuality of the boarding date. Can be impressed. Information such as 6th day, 24th season, 72nd weather, and age does not change on a daily basis or has a short period. It may be configured as information indicating a different color from that day. The combination of these information has a synergistic effect, and not only constitutes a deep personality on the boarding date, but also makes it possible to feel a great shift in the seasons by individual information such as 24th season and 72 weathers.

  Moreover, you may display the comment explaining the content of information with these information, for example. For example, when displaying information on the 72 signs that have difficult names, for example, by displaying an explanatory comment that “water begins to freeze” for “water starter”, the user can easily understand the contents. In addition, the intellectual curiosity of the user can be satisfied. Also, such comments should be customizable by the user.

(5) For example, when a plurality of pieces of information are used in combination as the individuality information on the boarding date, these pieces of information may be switched and displayed every predetermined time. As a result, a lot of information can be displayed, and the user can easily recognize individual information. In addition, the user can feel freshness by displaying new information each time the user looks at the screen. Further, the vehicle is used as a moving means, and particularly when it takes time to move, it is tedious and the awareness of safe driving tends to be relaxed. However, for example, whenever the driver of the vehicle looks at the display means while the vehicle is stopped such as waiting for a signal or traffic jam, a refreshing effect can be obtained by seeing new information about the boarding date, You can tighten your awareness and drive safely. In addition, the passenger can get a conversation start with the driver each time the information displayed on the display means is switched, and can help the driver refresh.

(6) Character information can also be used as the individuality information on the boarding date, but for example, an image showing the characteristics of the boarding date may be used. By using the image, for example, the user can intuitively feel the personality of the boarding date.

(7) By displaying the character information and the image corresponding to the character information together on the display means, for example, the user can easily and clearly understand the personality information on the boarding date. For example, as described above, the character information may be information on the sixth day of the boarding date, 24th season, 72 seasons, moon phases, age, tides, or anniversary information.

  As an image corresponding to the character information, for example, an image deeply related to the content of the character information may be used. Specifically, for example, when the character information is age, it is preferable to display an image of the moon corresponding to the fullness of the moon on the boarding date or the age. Also, for example, when the character information is 72 weather signs and the 72 weather sign of the boarding date is “Cherry Blossom Opening”, it is preferable to display an image of cherry blossoms that is about half blooming. In addition, when the personality information is an anniversary, and the anniversary of the boarding date is “bath day”, an image of the outdoor bath may be displayed accordingly.

  Further, for example, it is preferable that the user can customize the character information and the image corresponding to the character information. For example, when displaying information on the wedding anniversary of the user as the personality information of the boarding date, “Today is the wedding anniversary of XX year” as the text information, and a picture of the wedding of the user is displayed as the image Good.

(8) When there are a plurality of images showing the characteristics of the boarding date, for example, the plurality of images may be switched and displayed every predetermined time. For example, when there is a plurality of character information as individuality information on the boarding date, a plurality of images corresponding to each character information may be prepared. In that case, for example, the display control means may switch and display the plurality of images every predetermined time. As a result, many images can be displayed, and the user can easily recognize individual images.

  Further, the vehicle is used as a moving means, and particularly when it takes time to move, it is tedious and the awareness of safe driving tends to be relaxed. However, for example, whenever the driver of the vehicle looks at the display means while the vehicle is stopped such as waiting for a signal or traffic jam, a refreshing effect can be obtained by seeing new information about the boarding date, You can tighten your awareness and drive safely. Furthermore, if it is an image, it is easy to recognize information even in a short stoppage time. In addition, the passenger can get a conversation start with the driver each time the information displayed on the display means is switched, and can help the driver refresh. For example, when information about the boarding date is switched and displayed at predetermined time intervals, the related images may be displayed at the switching timing.

(9) The system further includes, for example, an input receiving unit that receives an event occurrence date input from the user, and the display control unit displays the boarding date corresponding to the event occurrence date as personality information of the boarding date. It is preferable to display a message about the event on the display means.

  Accordingly, the personal anniversary date of the user can be registered as the personality information of the boarding date, and the user is more strongly impressed that the boarding date is a special day. For example, by inputting an important time limit as an event occurrence date, the system can be used as a convenient reminder. Alternatively, for example, by inputting the anniversary date of the user's family or lover as the event occurrence date, it can be utilized as a surprise means for them.

  The event may be, for example, an event that is a personal memorial for the user or an important task with a time limit. For example, it may be set as the birthday of the user or a person familiar to the user, the date of marriage anniversary, the date of renewal of the driver's license, the date of renewal of various qualifications and members, the date of vehicle verification of the vehicle, or the date of expiration of the optional insurance.

For example, the input receiving means may display an event input screen that is different from the screen on which the date of boarding date and the personality information are displayed on the display means, and receive an event occurrence date and event type input from the user. The input may be performed by, for example, a button provided on the in-vehicle electronic device, a touch panel provided on the display unit, or a remote controller. In the event input screen, in addition to the event occurrence date and the event type, for example, an input unit for the name of a person related to the event, a selection unit for a message related to the event, or an input unit for an original message may be provided. .
The message related to the event may be a message registered in advance in the system, or may be an original message input by the user.

  If the event is a birthday, for example, the message may be a congratulatory content such as “Happy Birthday”. When the license renewal date is input as the event, for example, the message may be a reminder message “Did you renew your driver's license?”

(10) The input receiving unit is configured to receive, for example, an event type input from the user, and the display control unit corresponds to the event occurrence date with a message corresponding to the event type input by the input receiving unit. It may be displayed on the display means as personality information of the boarding date. As a result, the content of the message to be displayed may vary greatly depending on the type of event such as birthday or license renewal date, but it is possible to display an appropriate message according to the nature of each event, which is highly convenient. Can provide sex.

  As types of events, for example, there are multiple types of events such as birthday, wedding anniversary, driver's license renewal date, various qualifications or member renewal deadline, vehicle verification date for vehicle or expiry date for optional insurance, These event types should be registered in the system in advance.

  The input of the event type may be performed by, for example, displaying a plurality of types of events registered in advance in the system on the event input screen and selecting a desired event from the user. If there is no desired event registered in advance, for example, a new type of event may be registered by the user.

  As a message corresponding to the event type, for example, a message corresponding to each event type may be registered in the system in advance. In response to a user event type input, for example, a message corresponding to an event type input from a pre-registered message may be called and displayed on the event input screen. If there are a plurality of messages corresponding to the input event, for example, these messages may be displayed on the event input screen so that the user can select a desired message from them.

  If there is no desired message registered in advance, for example, the user can input an original message. Alternatively, if it is desired to arrange a pre-registered message, for example, the user can edit the registered message.

  Also, according to the event type, for example, the name of the person who is the destination of the message can be input, and the name can be inserted into the selected message. For example, when the event is the birthday of a person close to the user and the name of the person who is the destination of the message is input, the message “Mr. XX, happy birthday” may be used.

(11) For example, the display control means may display a message notifying the event occurrence date on the display means as a message related to the event, for a predetermined period before the event occurrence date. By notifying the event occurrence date, for example, one month before the event occurrence date as well as the event occurrence date, the user prepares a present for an event such as a wedding anniversary or plans a date. Can be carefully prepared, providing users with high convenience, and helping to facilitate human relations.

(12) The predetermined period before the event occurrence date is not limited to once, but a message may be displayed at shorter intervals as the event occurrence date approaches 1 month ago, 10 days ago, 5 days ago, or the previous day. By shortening the interval, it is possible to sensuously understand that the event occurrence date is approaching, and to obtain an uplifting feeling for the event. Note that the necessity for prior notification and the interval between prior notifications may be set on the event input screen.

(13) For example, when the user does not board the vehicle on the event occurrence date, the display control means may display a message reflecting the passage of the event occurrence date on the next boarding date. There is a possibility that the user does not board the vehicle on the event occurrence date. In this case, for example, the user notices the passage of the event occurrence date by displaying a message reflecting the passage of the event occurrence date on the next boarding day. Can be convenient.

  The message reflecting the passage of the event occurrence date may be, for example, a message notifying that the event occurrence date has passed. If the event type is, for example, an expiration date of the vehicle verification of the vehicle, a message such as “The vehicle verification expiration date has passed, has the vehicle inspection been completed?” May be used.

  Also, the message reflecting the passage of the event occurrence date may be, for example, a message in which a change due to the passage is added to the message that should have been notified on the event occurrence date. If the event type is, for example, a birthday, a message such as “Happy birthday but a happy birthday” may be used. Since such a message has a different warmth from a simple message, it is possible to invite the user to attach to the system.

(14) The display control means, for example, uses the event occurrence date as a reference date, and the message related to the event on at least one day before, within, or after the end of the predetermined period set before and after the event occurrence date. It is good to display. As a result, in the case of an event such as a driver's license renewal that sets a period that can be renewed for one month before and after the date of birth, the message will be sent in a timely manner within and outside the renewal period. Can be displayed to make the user aware of the renewal period of the driver's license, and the possibility of missing the driver's license renewal can be reduced.

  For example, the predetermined period may be set in advance in the system in accordance with the type of event and may be set automatically, or an arbitrary period may be set by user input.

  As the date on which the message is displayed, the date before the start of the predetermined period is, for example, 10 days before the start date of the license renewal period, so that the user can prepare for the license renewal in advance. The date within the predetermined period is, for example, a license renewal start date, a date after the start date and before the reference date, a date after the reference date and before the end date, or an end date. It is good to be able to recognize the passage of the period. The day after the end of the predetermined period may be, for example, the next day after the renewal period elapses, and the user may be prompted to confirm whether the license renewal has been completed.

  The event-related message may be, for example, a simple message notifying the event or the set predetermined period, but the content may be changed depending on the display timing, for example. As a result, for example, the user can be urged to prepare for an event, or to be alerted that the predetermined period is approaching.

  Specifically, for example, a message to be displayed 10 days before the start date of the license renewal period may be "License renewal period starts from ** month * day." For example, the message displayed on the start date may be "License renewal period from today to x month x day. Let's go to renew early". In addition, for example, a message displayed on the reference date or a date after the reference date within the update period may be “The update period is the remaining Δ days. Please go to update as soon as possible”. Further, for example, the message displayed on the end date may be “The update period ends today. Has the update been completed?”. Also, for example, the message displayed on the day after the end date may be “The update period ends in × month × day. Has the update been completed?”

  Further, for example, when the license has been renewed within the license renewal period, the input accepting means may accept the user's update end input, and the display control means may not display the subsequent message. . In addition, for example, when the input accepting unit accepts the user's update end input, the next license renewal deadline is automatically set, and the display control unit displays the same message in the next license renewal period. May be.

(15) The message related to the event may be directly displayed on the display means. For example, a button for notifying the presence of the message may be provided, and the message may be displayed on the display means when the user presses the button. Thereby, for example, a message can be displayed at a timing desired by the user and used as a means of surprise present, which is convenient for the user. Specifically, for example, when the user who is the driver inputs the birthday of the lover as the event occurrence date, when the lover is picked up and boarded in the passenger seat, the button is pressed to By displaying a message celebrating the day, surprise and joy can be given to the lover.

(16) The button for notifying the presence of a message related to the event is, for example, an image button operated on the touch panel, and is always displayed on the display means until the user presses the button on the event occurrence date. . As a result, a plurality of pieces of information as the individuality information of the boarding date may be switched every predetermined time and displayed on the display means. However, by always displaying the button for informing the presence of the message regarding the event, for example, the user Is easy to use without missing the timing of surprise.
The display location of the image button may be displayed, for example, at the corner of the display screen so as not to hinder the execution of the surprise or the display of other information.

(17) A button for notifying the presence of a message related to an event is preferably provided as a physical button in the vicinity of the display means or on a remote control device used by the user. Also, for example, this physical button may emit light on the event occurrence date. Thereby, even if the button is not displayed on the display screen, the user can surely know the existence of the message.

  The button may be provided near the display unit, for example, around the display screen on the in-vehicle electronic device. Further, as a remote control device used by the user, for example, a remote control for operating a vehicle-mounted electronic device may be used.

(18) The boarding date and personality information may be displayed, for example, on the initial screen or standby screen of the system. When the system is applied to, for example, an in-vehicle electronic device, the user often activates the in-vehicle electronic device when boarding the vehicle, so the personality information and traffic accident level information on the boarding date are displayed on the initial screen. This makes it easier for the user to see this information.

The initial screen of the system is, for example, a screen that is displayed when the system is activated. When the system is applied to, for example, a vehicle-mounted electronic device, the screen may be displayed after the vehicle-mounted electronic device is activated and the manufacturer's logo, safety precautions, and the like of the vehicle-mounted electronic device are displayed.
By displaying the personality information of the boarding date on the standby screen of the system, the display means can be effectively used while the system is in the processing waiting state.

  The system standby screen is, for example, a screen displayed when the system is in a process waiting state. When the system is applied to, for example, a target detection apparatus, the screen is displayed on the display unit in a standby state where the target does not exist around.

  The boarding date and personality information may be displayed on both the initial screen and the standby screen of the system, for example. By displaying for a long time, the personality of the boarding date and the traffic accident level information can be impressed more strongly to the user.

(19) For example, the display control means may switch a plurality of images corresponding to a change in the state of a predetermined item at predetermined time intervals and display the images on the display means together with the personality information on the boarding date.

  Thus, by displaying a plurality of images according to the change in state of a predetermined item together with the individuality information on the boarding date, the user can be focused on the display means, and the interest in the individuality information on the boarding date can be increased. Further, the image of the item state change may be one that predicts the next change. In this way, not only the boarding date but also the fun to the next boarding date can be aroused.

  For example, the item may be a thing that is created or nurtured over a predetermined period in the real world by acts such as architecture, horticulture, training, work, and sewing. Examples of such items include construction items such as high-rise buildings, towers and bridges, gardening items such as vegetables and fruits, breeding items such as pets, work items such as furniture and robots, and sewing items such as dolls and clothes. Good to have.

For example, the state change of an item may be from the start of creation of the item to completion. The images corresponding to the change in the state of the item may be, for example, a plurality of images showing in a stepwise manner from the initial creation of the item to the completion of the creation.
For example, if the item is a construction item of a building, there may be a plurality of images step by step, such as a landlord festival before construction, foundation work, during construction, and construction completion.

The item may be one type, for example, or the user may select from a plurality of items. For the item selection, for example, an item selection screen that is different from the screen on which the date and individuality information are displayed may be displayed on the display means, and the item selection from the user may be accepted.
The predetermined time for switching the images may be a fixed time such as one day, or may be a variable time according to the travel time or travel distance of the vehicle, for example.

(20) The display control means may perform switching of a plurality of images according to a change in the state of the item, for example, according to the travel time or travel distance of the vehicle. The image is switched according to the travel time and travel distance of the vehicle, and the state change of the item progresses, so that, for example, the user can feel the pleasure of boarding the vehicle.

(21) For example, the display control means may display the traffic accident level information on the boarding date together with the personality information on the boarding date on the display means. By recognizing the traffic accident level information of the boarding date along with the individuality information of the boarding date, for example, the user is strongly aware of the traffic accident level information that is often overlooked simply by displaying it, and Can raise awareness.

(22) As the traffic accident level information on the boarding date, for example, an item-specific traffic accident caution level and a comprehensive traffic accident caution level may be displayed. Thereby, for example, the user can grasp the attention level at the boarding date at a glance, and further check the detailed level for each item. As the traffic accident attention level for each item, for example, month evaluation, day evaluation, time zone evaluation, area evaluation, prefecture evaluation, and speed evaluation may be provided.

  The item-specific and comprehensive traffic accident caution level may be determined from, for example, a traffic accident occurrence level evaluation score obtained by classifying the number of past traffic accident occurrences into a relative value by classifying them according to predetermined conditions. The predetermined condition may be, for example, monthly, weekday, time zone, area, or speed. Thereby, it is possible to display the attention level with high reliability.

  The traffic accident caution level for each item is, for example, extracted from the evaluation of the past traffic accident occurrence level of the conditions corresponding to each item, based on the month, day of the week, time, and current position of the boarding date. And make a decision. Further, the total traffic accident occurrence level may be determined, for example, by summing the evaluation scores extracted for each item. Alternatively, such a traffic accident caution level may be calculated in advance for each boarding date and stored in the storage unit.

(23) The traffic accident caution level on the boarding date for each item and the comprehensive traffic accident occurrence level may be displayed in different colors depending on the level, for example. As a result, the user can easily determine the level of the level. For example, it is good to display red when the level is high, yellow when the level is medium, and green when the level is low.

(24) The traffic accident level information may be displayed by displaying it on the initial screen or the standby screen together with the individuality information. As a result, it is possible to impress the traffic accident level information on the user before boarding the vehicle or during boarding and to make the driver aware of safe driving.

  When the system is applied to, for example, an in-vehicle electronic device, the user often activates the in-vehicle electronic device when boarding the vehicle. Therefore, the user is aware of safe driving by looking at the traffic accident level information on the initial screen. Then you can start driving. Further, by looking at the traffic accident level information on the initial screen, the user can be tightened and driving can be started. In addition, by looking at the traffic accident level information on the standby screen while the vehicle is stopped due to traffic jams etc., for example, if you feel uncomfortable with long driving, you can resume driving with awareness of safe driving again Can do.

(25) A program of the present invention is a program for causing a computer to realize a function as display control means in the system according to any one of (1) to (24).

  According to the present invention, the user can recognize that the day of boarding the vehicle has a different personality from other days. Therefore, the user can feel freshness and surprise every time he gets on the board, instead of riding on the vehicle in a similar manner every day. Thereby, when the system is applied to, for example, an in-vehicle electronic device, the added value of the in-vehicle electronic device can be increased. In addition, since the user can feel freshness and surprise in the personality of the boarding date and can board the vehicle with the consciousness tightened, the user can also drive the vehicle safely.

[Standby screen display function]
The control unit 18 also displays a standby screen on the display 5 when no information is input from various input devices or when a user input is not performed, that is, in a standby state. The control unit 18 extracts the personality information of each boarding date stored on the EEPROM, incorporates it into a predetermined standby screen format, and outputs it as a standby screen specific to the boarding date.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a standby screen on which such personality information of the boarding date is displayed. The standby screen 50 shown in FIG. 3 is roughly divided into an upper region R1 and a lower region R2, and individuality information is displayed on each.

  First, “2011 3/26 SAT 17:58” is displayed as date information 51 on the boarding date in the upper part. The date information of the boarding date includes year, month, day, day of the week, and time. The control unit 18 obtains the current time represented by the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second measured by the real-time clock 39, and refers to a calendar 40 (FIG. 4) described later stored in the EEPROM. The day of the week is acquired, and these are displayed on the standby screen 50 as date information 51.

  Next, next to the date information 51 of the boarding date, the sixth day 52 of the boarding date is displayed as one of the personality information of the boarding date. Six days of the week consist of six types: first win, friend draw, first move, Buddha ruins, Daan, and red mouth. Therefore, compared with inorganic information such as the date information 51, it is possible to have some impression or feeling with respect to the boarding date. In FIG. 3, “Da'an” on 6th is displayed as an example, but “Da'an” is the most auspicious day of the 6th. Therefore, the user who sees the personality information of the boarding date of Daan can feel a characteristic different from at least the days before and after the boarding date.

  Below the date information 51 and the sixth day 52 on the standby screen 50, a 72-day 53 date of boarding is displayed as one of the personality information of the boarding date. Seventy-two signs are a kind of calendar devised in China. Each of the twenty-four air-conditionings divided into 24 equal parts of a year is further divided into three equal parts every five days: first, second, and last signs. is there. Each weather has a name that informs it of weather, temperature, and changes in animals and plants. For example, the first sign of the 24th season “Tachiharu” is named “Dongfeng Thaw (Dongfeng begins to melt thick ice)”. Also, for example, the next sign of 24th season “Summer Solstice” is named “Ayame (blooming flowers)”. The user can perceive the change of the season on the boarding date from the name of the 72 weather.

  In FIG. 3, “Cherry Blossom Opening” of 72nd 53 is displayed as an example. Since the names of the 72 signs are often difficult to understand by themselves, it is preferable to display a simple explanation together so that the user can easily understand. In FIG. 3, an explanatory note “It is assumed that cherry blossoms begin to bloom” is displayed next to “Cherry Blossom Opening”. This information is displayed in a square frame so that the name and description of the 72 signs can be easily understood.

  In FIG. 3, an image 54 corresponding to the 72th sign is displayed on the right side of the 72nd sign 53 displayed as the character information. Specifically, an image of a cherry blossom corresponding to the “Cherry Blossom Opening” of the 72nd sign is displayed. Since the image of the cherry blossom is an image that is deeply connected with “cherry blossom opening”, which means “when cherry blossoms begin to bloom”, the user can easily and clearly understand the meaning of “cherry blossom opening”.

  Information on the sixth day 52 and the 72nd sign 53, which is the individuality information on the boarding date, is stored in the form of a calendar 40 on the EEPROM as shown in FIG. In other words, the information about the day of the week 52 and the 72nd sign 53, and the image 54 related to the 72nd sign are stored in association with the information about the date of the day on which the personality information is to be displayed.

  The control unit 18 obtains the current date from the real-time clock 39, refers to the calendar 40 stored in the EEPROM, and refers to the date corresponding to the current date, that is, the date and day of the week on which the individuality information is to be displayed. Then, the six days 52 and the seventy-two signs 53 are extracted, and these pieces of information are incorporated into the standby screen format and displayed on the display 5 as the standby screen 50.

  Returning to FIG. 3, in the lower area R2 of the standby screen 50, the traffic accident level information 57 of the boarding date is displayed as an example of the personality information, and the user's safety driving is made aware of the personality of the boarding date. Is calling attention.

  In the example of FIG. 3, the traffic accident level information 57 is composed of a comprehensive traffic accident attention level 58a on the boarding date, an item-specific traffic accident occurrence level 59, and an explanation sentence 58b. The traffic accident attention level 58a on the boarding date is arranged above the lower region R2 so as to be first seen by the user. The commentary 58b is arranged next to it. Further, the item-specific traffic accident occurrence level 59 is arranged below the lower region R2. That is, the user who first saw the comprehensive traffic accident attention level 58 on the boarding date can easily and accurately grasp the data by moving to the commentary 58b and the detailed traffic accident occurrence level 59 for each item. It is like that.

  The comprehensive traffic accident caution level is displayed in three stages according to the level, so that the user can grasp the traffic accident caution level at a glance. More specifically, the rectangle arranged to the right of the “Accident Caution Level” character is green if the traffic accident attention level is lower than the first judgment level, medium (the first set higher than the first judgment level). If it is between the second judgment level and the first judgment level, it is displayed in yellow, and if it is higher than the second judgment level, it is displayed in red. In FIG. 3, a medium green rectangle is displayed.

  In the example of FIG. 3, the traffic accident occurrence level 59 by item arranged below the lower area R2 of the standby screen 50 is a monthly evaluation 59a, a day evaluation 59b, a time zone evaluation 59c, an area evaluation 59d, and a prefecture evaluation. Six items of 59e and speed evaluation 59f are provided.

  An indicator for displaying the level of occurrence of each traffic accident is arranged for each item. Specifically, the indicator is a vertically long rectangle, and it is expressed that the traffic accident caution level increases as the area of the colored bar increases from the bottom to the top of the rectangle. At the same time, the color of the bar changes according to the traffic accident attention level.

  Specifically, the bar is displayed in green if the traffic accident attention level is low, yellow if it is medium, and red if it is high. In the example of FIG. 3, the day evaluation 59b and the prefecture evaluation 59a having a low level are colored in green, the month evaluation 59a and the speed evaluation 59f having a medium level are colored in yellow, and the time period evaluation 59c having a high level is It is colored red. The user can grasp the level level at a glance according to the color, and can grasp the detailed level according to the area of the colored portion of the indicator.

  The comment sentence 58b displays a sentence explaining the accident attention level on the boarding date. In FIG. 3, the text “Accident attention level is moderate but there are many accidents. Please be careful.” Is displayed. That is, after explaining the comprehensive traffic accident caution level 58a, it is the content that explains the points to be noted in the item-specific traffic accident caution level 59.

  As described above, the traffic accident caution levels 59a to 59f for each item are obtained by extracting the score corresponding to the boarding date condition from the evaluation table of the traffic accident occurrence level as shown in FIG. It is displayed. This traffic accident occurrence level evaluation table is stored on the EEPROM. The traffic accident occurrence level evaluation table shows the number of past traffic accidents. ~ 6. It is created by classifying it according to the conditions shown in FIG. 1 in the table. ~ 6. The conditions shown in FIG. 6 correspond to items 59a to 59f, respectively. In the following table, 1. ~ 6. The various conditions will be described.

1. Accident level evaluation by month The number of accidents occurring in each month from January to December is converted into a relative value, which is used as the evaluation score for each month.

2. Accident level evaluation by day of week The number of accidents occurring on each day of the week from Sunday to Saturday is converted into a relative value to be used as the evaluation score for each day of the week.

3. Accident level evaluation by time zone The number of traffic accidents occurring every 2 hours from 0:00 to 24:00 is converted into relative values to obtain the evaluation score for each time zone.

4). Accident level assessment in accident-prone areas In the accident-prone areas disclosed by the MLIT and the National Police Agency, a score of 5 is added.

5. Accident level evaluation per 100,000 population The number of accident occurrences per 100,000 population in each prefecture is calculated, and a score of 1 to 5 is assigned to every 10th occurrence ranking. The higher the number of occurrences, the higher the score.

6). Accident level evaluation by speed The speed is divided into two stages for each of the general road and the expressway, and an evaluation score is assigned to each. Specifically, on ordinary roads, 60 km to 69 km / h is 2.5 points, and 70 km / h or more is 5 points. On the highway, the evaluation is 2.5 points for 105 to 120 km / h and 5 points for 121 km / h or more.

The control unit 18 has the above 1. ~ 6. The evaluation score corresponding to the boarding date condition is extracted from the evaluation table. In the example displayed in FIG. 3, the evaluation score is extracted under the following conditions.
Table 1. (Mon): March Table 2. (Day of the week): Saturday Table 3. (Time zone): 16: 00-18: 00 Table 4. (Area): Outside accident-prone areas Table 5. (Prefectures): Worst 32nd prefecture Table 6. (Speed): Highway 110km / h

  Specifically, Table 1. For, the evaluation score corresponding to the current month acquired by the real-time clock 39 is extracted. Table 2. For, the evaluation score corresponding to the current day of the week acquired by the calendar 40 is extracted. Table 3. For, the evaluation score in the time zone corresponding to the current time acquired from the real-time clock 39 is extracted. Table 4. For, if the current position acquired from the GPS receiver 13 corresponds to an accident-prone area, a score of 5 is extracted. Table 5. For, the evaluation score of the prefecture where the current position obtained from the GPS receiver 13 is located is extracted. Table 6. , The type of the highway and the general road is determined from the current position acquired from the GPS receiver 13, and the evaluation score corresponding to the vehicle speed acquired from the acceleration sensor 37 is extracted.

  Next, the control unit 18 determines the level of the score of each extracted item. Specifically, the level is judged as large / medium / small according to the individual level evaluation table shown in FIG. This individual level evaluation table is stored on the EEPROM. When the evaluation score is 4-5, it is determined that the level is high, when the evaluation score is 2.1-3.9, it is determined that the level is medium, and when the evaluation score is 1-2, it is determined that the level is low.

  For each item 59a to 59f, the control unit 18 increases or decreases the area of the colored portion of the indicator according to the extracted evaluation score, and further colors with the color according to the determined level of large, medium, or small, and the standby screen 50.

  The control unit 18 further combines the extracted evaluation scores of the items 59a to 59f, and determines the level of the total score. Specifically, the level is judged as large / medium / small according to a comprehensive level evaluation table shown in FIG. This comprehensive level evaluation table is also stored on the EEPROM. When the evaluation score is 21-30, it is determined that the level is high, when the evaluation score is 11-20, it is determined that the level is medium, and when the evaluation score is 1-10, it is determined that the level is low.

  The control unit 18 causes the standby screen 50 to display a comprehensive accident attention level 58a in a color corresponding to the determined level of large, medium, or small. Further, an explanatory text 58 b corresponding to the determined level is generated and displayed on the standby screen 50.
