The casing 121 has a 1DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm) size or a 2DIN size, and is stored in the console unit of the vehicle. In FIG. 3, the optical disk drive 130 having the optical disk insertion slot 131 is disposed inside the housing 121, but it may be installed in a console section outside the housing 121. That is, the optical disk drive 130 which is equipment in the vehicle and is a user's operation target is installed in a part of the console unit. The right direction in FIG. 3 corresponds to the “front direction” of the housing, the left direction corresponds to the “rear direction” of the housing, the back direction corresponds to the “right direction” of the housing, and the front direction corresponds to This corresponds to the “left direction” of the housing.

  The vertical plates 122A and 122B are erected in parallel along the front-rear direction, and a guide groove 123 is provided on each facing surface. A protrusion (not shown) having a gear formed on the front and rear slide stage 124 is fitted in the guide groove 123, and the gear is rotated by a motor (not shown) so that the front and rear slide stage 124 extends along the guide groove 123. It can slide back and forth. Guide grooves 125 (the guide grooves on the lower surface are not shown) are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the front / rear slide stage 124 along the horizontal (left / right) direction. A protrusion (not shown) having a gear formed on the horizontal stages 126A and 126B is fitted in the guide groove 125, and the gear is rotated by a motor (not shown), whereby the horizontal slide stage 126 is inserted into the guide groove 125. It can slide horizontally (left and right) along. A vertical bar 127 is erected between the horizontal slide stages 126A and 126B. The vertical slide stage 128 is formed with a fitting hole for mating with the vertical bar 127, and the vertical slide stage 128 slides up and down with respect to the vertical bar 127 by a motor (not shown) and a rack and pinion (not shown). It is possible. One end of an arm 129 is attached to the vertical slide stage 128, and the other end of the arm 129 jumps out of a hole 121 </ b> H provided in the housing 121 and a display D is attached.

  The front / rear slide stage 124, the horizontal stage 126, and the upper / lower slide stage 128 are slid in the front / rear direction, the horizontal direction, and the upper / lower direction by motors (not shown) and gears that operate according to control signals received from the display position control unit 11, respectively. Thereby, the display D attached to the arm 129 can slide in the three-axis direction. Further, the vertical slide stage 128 has a built-in arm rotation mechanism, and the display D is placed on the surface of the housing 121 on which the hole 121H is provided by rotating the arm 129 in accordance with a control signal received from the display position control unit 11. It can be rotated along. Further, the attachment portion (not shown) of the arm 129 and the display D is provided with a tilt mechanism, and the display D is tilted in the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal directions according to a control signal received from the display position control unit 11 or a user's manual operation. Can be done.

  The display position control unit 11 transmits a control signal to the drive unit 14 to control the drive unit 14 to move the display D (including a three-dimensional slide and rotation by an arm rotation mechanism). Specifically, the display position control unit 11 moves the display D between a fixed position and a non-fixed position. The fixed position is a position that is determined based on vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle on which the display D is installed, and that does not prevent the user from using the equipment of the vehicle. The vehicle information is information for specifying the position of equipment (for example, an air conditioner outlet, an air conditioner operation button, a hazard button, an ashtray, an optical disc insertion slot, etc.) provided in the vehicle. The non-fixed position is a position other than the fixed position, and is determined based on a moving operation by the user.

  Since the position of the equipment provided in the vehicle varies depending on the type (vehicle type) of the vehicle, the storage unit 12 can determine the fixed position based on the vehicle type information, which is vehicle information, so that the display position control unit 11 can determine the fixed position. Store the position table. As shown in FIG. 4, information indicating a manufacturer, a vehicle type, a model year, and a grade is described for each vehicle type ID in the vehicle type table. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the fixed position table, position information indicating the fixed position of the display D (for example, information indicating three-dimensional coordinates based on the reference position) is described for each vehicle type ID. The fixed position is set based on the position of the facility in the vehicle identified by the vehicle type ID (the vehicle identified by the manufacturer, the vehicle type, the model year, and the grade) that does not prevent the user from using the facility. Thus, when the vehicle type information (manufacturer, vehicle type, model year, grade) is input by the vehicle type input operation to the operation unit 15, the display position control unit 11 refers to the vehicle type table and the fixed position table and performs the vehicle type input operation. A fixed position is determined based on the input vehicle information and registered in the storage unit 12.

  When a movement operation for moving the display D with respect to the operation unit 15 is detected, the display position control unit 11 outputs a control signal for moving the display D to an unfixed position based on the movement operation to the drive unit 14. Thereby, the drive unit 14 moves the display D from the fixed position to the non-fixed position. The display position control unit 11 outputs a control signal for moving the display D to a fixed position to the drive unit 14 when a return operation on the operation unit 15 is detected when the display D is in a non-fixed position. Thereby, the drive part 14 moves the display D from a non-fixed position to a fixed position.

  The operation unit 15 includes, for example, virtual buttons displayed on the display D (in this case, the display D has a function as a touch panel), a sensor, a camera, a microphone, or a combination thereof. The operation on the operation unit 15 includes the above-described vehicle type input operation, movement operation, and return operation. When an operation on the operation unit 15 is detected, the operation unit 15 outputs operation information indicating the operation content to the display position control unit 11. Accordingly, the display position control unit 11 outputs a control signal to the drive unit 14 in accordance with a user operation, and the drive unit 14 moves the display D.

  When a virtual button is used as the operation unit 15, a drop-down list (pull-down list) for selecting a manufacturer, a vehicle type, a model year, and a grade used for a vehicle type input operation, a forward / backward movement button used for a movement operation, a left / right movement button, an up / down button A movement button, a rotation button, and a return button used for a return operation are provided. When an operation corresponding to each button is detected, operation information indicating the operation content is output to the display position control unit 11.

  When a sensor is adopted as the operation unit 15, a back-and-forth movement operation detection sensor used for a movement operation, a left-right movement operation detection sensor, a vertical movement operation detection sensor, a rotation operation detection sensor, a return operation detection sensor used for a return operation, and When an operation corresponding to the sensor is detected, operation information indicating the operation content is output to the display position control unit 11.

  When a camera is employed as the operation unit 15, user gestures corresponding to movement operations and return operations (gestures corresponding to forward / backward movement, left / right movement, up / down movement, rotational movement, and movement (return) to a fixed position) are previously performed. When the camera captures the same moving image data as the registered moving image data gesture, the operation information indicating the operation content corresponding to the gesture is output to the display position control unit 11. .

  When adopting a microphone as the operation unit 15, keywords corresponding to a vehicle type input operation, a movement operation and a return operation (keywords indicating manufacturer, vehicle type, year, grade, forward / backward movement, left / right movement, up / down movement, rotational movement, Voice data indicating a keyword (for example, “move to the front”) corresponding to movement (return) to a fixed position is registered in the storage unit 12, and the same keyword as the keyword of the registered voice data is input to the microphone. In the case, the operation information indicating the operation content corresponding to the keyword is output to the display position control unit 11.

[1.2. Fixed position registration process by display position control unit 11]
Next, the fixed position registration process by the display position control unit 11 will be described with reference to FIG. The fixed position registration process is executed when a vehicle type input operation is performed.

  First, the display position control unit 11 acquires vehicle type information (manufacturer, vehicle type, model year, grade) input by the vehicle type input operation (step S11).

  Next, the display position control unit 11 refers to the vehicle type table shown in FIG. 4 and identifies the vehicle type ID corresponding to the vehicle type information acquired in the process of step S11 (step S12).

  Next, the display position control unit 11 refers to the fixed position table shown in FIG. 5 and acquires the fixed position corresponding to the vehicle type ID specified in the process of step S12 (step S13).

  Next, the display position control unit 11 registers the fixed position (fixed position coordinates) acquired in the process of step S13 in the storage unit 12 (step S14), and ends the fixed position registration process.

[1.3. Movement control processing by display position control unit 11]
Next, the movement control process by the display position control unit 11 will be described with reference to FIG. The movement control process is executed when ACC power is turned on to the display position control device S. The position of the display D when the ACC power is turned on may be a fixed position or a non-fixed position.

  First, the display position control unit 11 acquires the fixed position registered in the storage unit 12 in the process of step S14 of FIG. 6 (step S21).

  Next, the display position control unit 11 outputs control information for moving the display D to a fixed position to the drive unit 14 (step S22). Specifically, control information based on the fixed position registered in the storage unit 12 in the process of step S17 in FIG. 6 is output. Thereby, the display D moves to a fixed position. However, if the position of the display D when the ACC power is turned on is a fixed position, the display D does not move and remains in the fixed position.

  Next, the display position control unit 11 determines whether or not a movement operation for moving the display D is detected (step S23). At this time, if the display position control unit 11 determines that the moving operation is not detected (step S23: NO), step S23 is executed again. On the other hand, when the display position control unit 11 determines that the moving operation has been detected (step S23: YES), the display position control unit 11 outputs control information for moving the display D to a non-constant position corresponding to the moving operation to the driving unit 14 (step S24). ). Thereby, the display D moves to a non-fixed position.

  Next, the display position control unit 11 determines whether or not a return operation for returning the display D to the home position is detected (step S25). At this time, when it is determined that the return operation is not detected (step S25: NO), the display position control unit 11 executes step S25 again. On the other hand, when it is determined that the return operation has been detected (step S25: YES), the display position control unit 11 proceeds to the process of step S22, and outputs control information for moving the display D to a fixed position to the drive unit 14. As a result, the display D moves from the non-fixed position to the fixed position.

  As described above, according to the display position control device S in the first embodiment, the display position control unit 11 acquires vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle, is installed in the console unit of the vehicle, and moves the display D. By controlling the drive unit 14, the display D is moved to a non-fixed position, and then the display D is moved to a fixed position determined based on vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle. Therefore, the position where the display D does not interfere with the use of the user with respect to the vehicle equipment is determined at the position where the display D does not interfere with the use of the user with respect to the vehicle equipment by determining the position that does not hinder the use of the user with respect to the vehicle equipment as the second position. Can be moved.

  In addition, the storage unit 12 stores a vehicle type table and a fixed position table that are associated with vehicle type information and position information that is determined based on the position of the equipment provided in the vehicle and that indicates a fixed position that does not prevent the user from using the equipment. The position control unit 11 moves the display D to a fixed position indicated by the position information associated with the acquired vehicle type information. Therefore, based on the position of the equipment based on the type of vehicle, the display D can be moved to a fixed position that does not hinder the use of the user for the equipment of the vehicle.

  Furthermore, since the display position control unit 11 acquires the vehicle information input by the user, for example, the vehicle information can be acquired even if the vehicle information cannot be acquired from the vehicle information storage unit in which the vehicle information is stored. it can.

  Furthermore, the fixed position can prevent the display D from preventing the user from using the hazard button because the display D is at least a position that does not prevent the user from using the hazard button provided in the vehicle.

  Furthermore, the operation unit 13 accepts a return operation for returning the display D to the home position, and the display position control unit 11 accepts the return operation by the operation unit 13 when the display D is in the non-home position. In this case, since the display D is moved to a fixed position, the user can move the display D from the non-fixed position to the fixed position by his / her own intention.

[1.4. Modified example]
Next, a modification of the first embodiment will be described. Note that the modifications described below can be combined as appropriate.

[1.4.1. First Modification]
As a first modification, the vehicle information may be facility position information indicating the position of the facility provided in the vehicle, and the display position control unit 11 is determined based on the facility position information by the user for the facility. It is good also as moving the display D to the fixed position which does not prevent utilization. In this case, the display position control unit 11 calculates a fixed position that does not hinder the use of the user for the equipment based on the equipment position information and a preset user position (may be a driver seat or a passenger seat position). May be. According to the first modification, the display D can be moved to a position where the display D does not interfere with the use of the user for the vehicle equipment.

[1.4.2. Second Modification]
As a second modification, the display position control unit 11 may be connected to a vehicle information storage unit (not shown) that stores vehicle information on the vehicle, and acquire the vehicle information from the vehicle information storage unit. According to the second modification, vehicle information can be acquired even if vehicle information cannot be acquired from the user.

[1.4.3. Third Modification]
As a third modification, a camera that images a vehicle may be provided, and the display position control unit 11 may acquire vehicle information based on an image captured by the camera. For example, a camera may be provided on the back side of the display D, and vehicle information that is information for specifying the position of equipment provided in the console unit may be acquired from an image obtained by capturing the console unit with the camera. Moreover, based on the image which imaged the part which can specify the vehicle model in a vehicle (an external appearance is included. In this case, the display position control part 11 acquires an image from the camera which can image the external appearance of a vehicle) with a camera. Alternatively, vehicle type information that is vehicle information may be acquired. According to the third modification, vehicle information can be acquired even if the vehicle information cannot be acquired from the vehicle information storage unit or the user in the second modification.

[1.4.4. Fourth Modification]
As a fourth modification, the display position control unit 11 may move the display D to a fixed position when the display D moves to a non-fixed position and a predetermined time has elapsed. The predetermined time can be set to an arbitrary time and may be set by the user or may be set in advance in the display position control device S. For example, if the display position control unit 11 determines “NO” in the process of step S <b> 25 in FIG. 7, then it determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the display D was moved to the non-fixed position. If “YES” is determined, the process proceeds to step S22. If “NO” is determined, the process proceeds to step S25. Further, the determination process may be replaced with the process of step S25. According to the 4th modification, it can prevent that display D keeps staying in non-fixed positions other than a fixed position, and display D obstructs a user's use to facilities of vehicles.

[2. Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described. However, the description will focus on the changes from the first embodiment, and the description of the same parts as in the first embodiment will be omitted.

  In the second embodiment, when the display D is temporarily moved from an arbitrary position (for example, a fixed position), the display position control unit 11 moves the display D to a retreat position determined based on the vehicle information. The arbitrary position in the second embodiment (including the case where it is a fixed position) may be a position that hinders the use of the user with respect to the equipment of the vehicle (however, for safety of the vehicle, such as a hazard button) Excluding equipment that should be available). On the other hand, the evacuation position is determined based on the position of equipment (such as an air conditioner outlet, an air conditioner operation button, a hazard button, and an ashtray) provided in the vehicle, and the display D does not prevent the user from using the vehicle equipment. It is.

[2.1. Configuration of display position control device]
The storage unit 12 stores a vehicle type table and a retreat position table so that the display position control unit 11 can determine a retreat position based on vehicle type information that is vehicle information. As shown in FIG. 8, in the retreat position table, position information indicating the retreat position of the display D (for example, information indicating three-dimensional coordinates based on the reference position) is described for each vehicle type ID. Based on the position of the facility in the vehicle (vehicle identified by manufacturer, vehicle type, year, grade) identified by the vehicle type ID, the retreat position is set to a position that does not prevent the user from using the facility. In the retreat position table, a plurality of retreat positions may be described for one vehicle type ID, and the user may select which retreat position to move the display D to. When the display position control unit 11 detects a vehicle type input operation on the operation unit 15, the display position control unit 11 refers to the vehicle type table and the retreat position table, and determines the retreat position based on the manufacturer, vehicle type, year, and grade input by the vehicle type input operation. To do.

  When the display D is at an arbitrary position, the display position control unit 11 outputs a control signal for moving the display D to the retracted position to the drive unit 14 when a temporary movement operation on the operation unit 15 is detected. Thereby, the drive unit 14 moves the display D from an arbitrary position to the retracted position. The display position control unit 11 outputs a control signal for moving the display D to the original position to the drive unit 14 when a feedback operation on the operation unit 15 is detected when the display D is in the retracted position. Thereby, the drive unit 14 moves the display D from the retracted position to the original position.

  The operation unit 15 is configured by, for example, a virtual button, a sensor, a camera, a microphone, or a combination thereof displayed on the display D. As operations for the operation unit 15, there are a temporary movement operation and a return operation in addition to the vehicle type input operation described in the first embodiment.

  When a virtual button is employed as the operation unit 15, a temporary movement button used for a temporary movement operation and a feedback button used for a feedback operation are additionally provided. When an operation corresponding to each button is detected, operation information indicating the operation content Is output to the display position control unit 11.

  When a sensor is employed as the operation unit 15, a temporary movement operation detection sensor used for a temporary movement operation and a feedback operation detection sensor used for a feedback operation are additionally provided, and when an operation corresponding to each sensor is detected, the operation content is displayed. The operation information shown is output to the display position control unit 11.

  When a camera is employed as the operation unit 15, video data indicating a user's gesture corresponding to a temporary movement operation and a return operation (a gesture corresponding to a temporary movement or movement from the retracted position to the original position (return)) is previously stored. If the camera captures the same gesture as that of the registered moving image data, the operation information indicating the operation content corresponding to the gesture is output to the display position control unit 11.

  When a microphone is used as the operation unit 15, keywords corresponding to temporary movement operation and return operation (temporary movement, keyword corresponding to movement from the retracted position to the original position (return) (for example, “temporary movement”)) When the same keyword as the keyword of the registered voice data is input to the microphone, operation information indicating the operation content corresponding to the keyword is displayed on the display position control unit. 11 is output.

[2.2. Retraction position registration process by display position control unit 11]
Next, the retracted position registration process by the display position control unit 11 will be described with reference to FIG. The retreat position registration process is executed when a vehicle type input operation is performed.

  First, the display position control unit 11 acquires vehicle type information (manufacturer, vehicle type, model year, grade) input by the vehicle type input operation (step S31).

  Next, the display position control unit 11 refers to the vehicle type table shown in FIG. 4 and specifies the vehicle type ID corresponding to the vehicle type information acquired in the process of step S31 (step S32).

  Next, the display position control unit 11 refers to the retreat position table shown in FIG. 8, and obtains a retreat position corresponding to the vehicle type ID identified in the process of step S32 (step S33).

  Next, the display position control unit 11 determines whether or not a plurality of retreat positions have been acquired in the process of step S33 (step S34). If the display position control unit 11 determines that a plurality of retracted positions have not been acquired (step S34: NO), the display position control unit 11 proceeds to the process of step S37. On the other hand, when the display position control unit 11 determines that a plurality of retreat positions have been acquired (step S34: YES), the display position control unit 11 displays a selection screen for allowing the user to select any retreat position on the display D (step S35). ), The retraction position selected by the user is acquired (step S36).

  Next, the display position control unit 11 registers the retreat position (retreat position coordinates) acquired in the process of step S33 or step S36 in the storage unit 12 (step S37), and ends the retreat position registration process.

[2.3. Movement control processing by display position control unit 11]
Next, the movement control process by the display position control unit 11 will be described with reference to FIG. The movement control process according to the second embodiment is executed when the display D is at an arbitrary position.

  First, the display position control unit 11 determines whether or not a temporary movement operation for temporarily moving the display D is detected (step S41). At this time, if the display position control unit 11 determines that a temporary movement operation has not been detected (step S41: NO), step S41 is executed again. On the other hand, when the display position control unit 11 determines that a temporary movement operation has been detected (step S41: YES), the display position control unit 11 stores the current position (current position coordinates) as the original position (step S42).

  Next, the display position control unit 11 outputs control information for moving the display D to the retracted position corresponding to the temporary movement operation to the drive unit 14 (step S43). Specifically, control information based on the retreat position registered in the storage unit 12 in the process of step S37 of FIG. 9 is output. Thereby, the display D moves to the retracted position.

  Next, the display position control unit 11 determines whether or not a feedback operation for returning the display D to the original position is detected (step S44). At this time, if the display position control unit 11 determines that a feedback operation has been detected (step S44: YES), the process proceeds to step S46. On the other hand, when the display position control unit 11 determines that the feedback operation has not been detected (step S44: NO), it is then determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the display D was moved to the retracted position ( Step S45). The predetermined time can be set to an arbitrary time (for example, 30 seconds). If “YES” is determined in step S44 or step S45, it is further determined whether or not there is an object such as a hand around the original position, and only when there is no object, the process proceeds to step S46. Also good. The determination may be performed based on information from a sensor capable of detecting the presence or absence of an object in an area including at least the original position, or an image from a camera that captures the area. Thereby, after the display D is moved to the retracted position, an object that was not originally in the original position is moved, and the display D and the object are prevented from coming into contact by moving the display D to the original position in that state. be able to.

  If the display position control unit 11 determines that the predetermined time has not elapsed since the display D was moved to the retracted position (step S45: NO), the process proceeds to step S44. On the other hand, if the display position control unit 11 determines that a predetermined time has elapsed since the display D was moved to the retracted position (step S45: YES), the display position control unit 11 proceeds to the process of step S46.

  Next, the display position control unit 11 outputs control information for moving the display D to the original position to the drive unit 14. Specifically, control information based on the original position registered in the storage unit 12 in the process of step S42 is output. As a result, the display D moves from the retracted position to the original position.

  As described above, according to the display position control device S in the second embodiment, the display position control unit 11 acquires vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle, is installed in the console unit of the vehicle, and moves the display D. When the display D is moved temporarily by controlling the drive unit 14, the display D is moved to a retracted position determined based on the vehicle information. Therefore, when the display D is moved by determining a position that does not hinder the user's use of the vehicle equipment based on the vehicle information, the retreat position that does not hinder the user's use of the vehicle equipment. The display D can be moved.

  In addition, the storage unit 12 stores a vehicle type table and a fixed position table that are associated with vehicle type information and position information indicating a retreat position that does not hinder the use of the user for the equipment, which is determined based on the position of the equipment provided in the vehicle. The position control unit 11 moves the display D to the retreat position indicated by the position information associated with the acquired vehicle type information. Therefore, the display D can be moved to a retreat position that does not hinder the use of the user with respect to the equipment of the vehicle based on the position of the equipment based on the type of the vehicle.

  Furthermore, since the display position control unit 11 acquires the vehicle information input by the user, for example, the vehicle information can be acquired even if the vehicle information cannot be acquired from the vehicle information storage unit in which the vehicle information is stored. it can.

  Furthermore, since the retracted position is a position where the display D does not hinder the user's use of at least the hazard button provided in the vehicle, the display D can be prevented from hindering the user's use of the hazard button.

  Furthermore, the operation unit 13 receives a feedback operation for returning the display D to the original position, and the display position control unit 11 receives the feedback operation by the operation unit 13 when the display D is in the retracted position. In this case, since the display D is moved to the original position, the user can move the display D from the retracted position to the original position by his / her own intention.

  Furthermore, since the display position control unit 11 moves the display D to the original position when a predetermined time has elapsed after the display D has moved to the retracted position, the display D stays at the retracted position where the display D has temporarily moved. You can prevent it from continuing.

[2.4. Modified example]
Next, a modification of the second embodiment will be described. Note that the modifications described below can be combined as appropriate.

[2.4.1. First Modification]
As a first modification, the vehicle information may be facility position information indicating the position of the facility provided in the vehicle, and the display position control unit 11 is determined based on the facility position information by the user for the facility. The display D may be moved to a retracted position that does not hinder use. In this case, the display position control unit 11 calculates a retreat position that does not prevent the user from using the facility based on the facility position information and a preset user position (may be a driver seat or a passenger seat position). May be. According to the first modification, the display D can be moved to a retreat position where the display D does not interfere with the use of the user for the vehicle equipment.

[2.4.2. Second Modification]
As a second modification, the display position control unit 11 may be connected to a vehicle information storage unit (not shown) that stores vehicle information on the vehicle, and acquire the vehicle information from the vehicle information storage unit. According to the second modification, vehicle information can be acquired even if vehicle information cannot be acquired from the user.

[2.4.3. Third Modification]
As a third modification, a camera that images a vehicle may be provided, and the display position control unit 11 may acquire vehicle information based on an image captured by the camera. For example, a camera may be provided on the back side of the display D, and vehicle information that is information for specifying the position of equipment provided in the console unit may be acquired from an image obtained by capturing the console unit with the camera. Moreover, based on the image which imaged the part which can specify the vehicle model in a vehicle (an external appearance is included. In this case, the display position control part 11 acquires an image from the camera which can image the external appearance of a vehicle) with a camera. Alternatively, vehicle type information that is vehicle information may be acquired. According to the third modification, vehicle information can be acquired even if the vehicle information cannot be acquired from the vehicle information storage unit or the user in the second modification.

[2.4.4. Fourth Modification]
As a fourth modified example, either the process in step S44 or the process in step S45 in FIG. 10 may be deleted. For example, when “NO” determination is made in the process of step S44, the process of step S45 may not be executed by executing the process of step S44 again. In addition, after the process of step S43 is completed, the process proceeds to step S45 without performing the process of step S44. If the determination in step S45 is “NO”, the process of step S45 is executed again. It is good as well.

[3. Third Example]
Next, a third embodiment will be described. However, the description will focus on the changes from the first embodiment, and the description of the same parts as in the first embodiment will be omitted.

  The display position control unit 11 in the third embodiment is installed in the console unit having the optical disk drive 130 in the vehicle and controls the drive unit 14 that moves the display D with respect to the console unit, thereby inserting the optical disk based on the vehicle information. The display D is moved to a user operable position where the user can operate the mouth 131.

  Here, the movement mode of the display D in the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 14. As shown in FIG. 11, when the display D covers and covers the optical disc insertion slot 131 in the console portion of the vehicle, the user performs an operation on the optical disc insertion slot 131 (for example, an operation for taking out the optical disc, an operation for inserting the optical disc). In order to do so, it is necessary to retract the display D so that the optical disc insertion slot 131 can be used. Here, from the situation in which the display D is fixed in a vertically long state in order to make the screen orientation suitable for displaying the map being guided heading up (the traveling direction is always upward), the display D is rotated 90 degrees. An example in which the optical disc insertion slot 131 can be used by retracting the display D by rotating it into a horizontally long state and sliding it upward will be described.

  First, when the display D is rotated in the state shown in FIG. 11, the upper part of the display D and the eaves E formed on the upper part of the console that is the interior of the vehicle come into contact with each other and cannot be rotated 90 degrees. Therefore, it is necessary to rotate the display D after it is slid downward. However, if the display D is simply slid downward, the hazard button D is covered and the user cannot use the hazard button D. . Therefore, the display D is slid leftward, further downward (see FIGS. 11 and 12), and then rotated 90 degrees (see FIG. 13). Next, the display D is slid rightward and then further upward (sliding upward and sliding rightward). Accordingly, the optical disc insertion slot 131 can be used without bringing the display D into contact with the heel E and without preventing the user from using the hazard button H (see FIG. 14).

  In addition, the example shown here is an example, Comprising: It is necessary to switch suitably the movement modes, such as the amount to which the display D is slid, a direction, an order, rotation, and the order of a slide according to the interior of a vehicle or the position of the hazard button H. . For example, the display D may be rotated 90 degrees to the right, slid away from the interior (such as a shift lever), and then further rotated 90 degrees to the right so as to go around the interior (display D is 180 degrees). In a rotated state). Further, it may be rotated 90 degrees to the right and then rotated 90 degrees to the left after sliding to avoid the interior (shift lever, etc.). When the display D is rotated in this way, if the display content is rotated accordingly, the top and bottom will be reversed, making it difficult for the user to see, so the display content will also rotate according to the rotation angle of the display D. (For example, when the display D is rotated 90 degrees to the right, the display content is displayed in a state rotated 90 degrees to the left). Furthermore, it is possible to adopt a moving mode in which the display D is slid while rotating.

  Further, in the third embodiment, the movement mode when moving the display D from the fixed position to the user operable position is held for each vehicle type, and the movement mode corresponding to the vehicle type is selected and moved. . Note that the fixed position in the third embodiment may be a position that hinders the user's use of the vehicle equipment (excluding equipment that should always be available to the user for safety of the vehicle, such as a hazard button). . On the other hand, the user operable position is a position where the user can operate the optical disc insertion slot 131.

[3.1. Configuration of display position control device]
Since the positions of the optical disc insertion slot 131, the interior, the hazard button H, and the like provided in the vehicle vary depending on the type (vehicle type) of the vehicle, the storage unit 12 is based on the vehicle type information in which the display position control unit 11 is vehicle information. The vehicle type table, the fixed position table, and the movement mode table are stored so that the operation possible position and the movement mode when moving the display D from the fixed position to the user operable position can be determined. As illustrated in FIG. 15, the movement mode table includes position information (for example, information indicating three-dimensional coordinates based on the reference position) indicating the user operable position and information indicating the movement mode for each vehicle type ID. Described. The movement mode is composed of a plurality of movement mode elements. The movement mode element includes the movement type ((A) rotation, (B) slide, (C) rotation and slide (slide while rotating)), and the movement direction (if the movement type is (A), the rotation direction (right rotation or Left rotation), if the movement type is (B), the slide direction (three-dimensional)), if the movement type is (C), the rotation direction and the slide direction), and the amount of movement (the movement type is (A)) For example, if the rotation angle and the movement type are (B), it includes information indicating the slide amount, and if the movement type is C (the rotation angle and the slide amount), the movement mode element indicates the movement indicated by the movement mode element. For example, if it is a movement mode in which the display D is slid leftward, then slid downward, and rotated 90 degrees to the right, the movement type ((B) slide is the first. ), Moving direction (left direction), The movement mode element that is the amount of movement (omitted) is described, the second movement type ((B) slide), the movement direction (downward), the movement mode element that is the movement amount (omitted) is described, and the third movement A movement mode element of type ((A) rotation), movement direction (right direction), and movement amount (90 degrees) is described in this way. There are a mode of rear sliding, a mode of rotating after sliding, or a mode of sliding while rotating, and the display position control unit 11 interferes with the interior of the display D by selecting one of these based on vehicle type information. It is possible to move to the user operable position without disturbing the user's use with respect to the hazard button H.

  When the display position control unit 11 detects the retreat operation for moving the display D from the fixed position to the user operable position with respect to the operation unit 15, the display position control unit 11 refers to the movement mode table and acquires the user operable position and the moving mode. Then, a control signal based on these is output to the drive unit 14. Thereby, the drive unit 14 moves the display D from the fixed position to the user operable position while avoiding the interior and without disturbing the user's use with respect to the hazard button H. The display position control unit 11 outputs a control signal for moving the display D to a fixed position to the drive unit 14 when a return operation on the operation unit 15 is detected when the display D is in a user operable position. . Thereby, the drive part 14 moves the display D from a user operable position to a fixed position.

  The operation unit 15 is configured by, for example, a virtual button, a sensor, a camera, a microphone, or a combination thereof displayed on the display D. The operation on the operation unit 15 includes a retreat operation in addition to the vehicle type input operation and the return operation described in the first embodiment.

  When a virtual button is employed as the operation unit 15, a retraction button is additionally provided in the retraction operation, and when an operation corresponding to the button is detected, operation information indicating the operation content is output to the display position control unit 11.

  When a sensor is employed as the operation unit 15, a retraction operation detection sensor is additionally provided, and when an operation corresponding to each sensor is detected, operation information indicating the operation content is output to the display position control unit 11.

  When a camera is employed as the operation unit 15, moving image data indicating a user's gesture corresponding to the evacuation operation is additionally registered in the storage unit 12 in advance, and the camera captures the same gesture as that of the registered moving image data. If it is, operation information indicating the operation content corresponding to the gesture is output to the display position control unit 11.

  When a microphone is employed as the operation unit 15, voice data indicating a keyword (for example, “evacuation”) corresponding to the save operation is additionally registered in the storage unit 12 in advance, and is the same as the keyword of the registered voice data. When a keyword is input to the microphone, operation information indicating the operation content corresponding to the keyword is output to the display position control unit 11.

[3.2. Fixed position registration process by display position control unit 11]
Since the fixed position registration process by the display position control unit 11 is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

[3.3. Movement control processing by display position control unit 11]
Next, the movement control process by the display position control unit 11 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The movement control process is executed when the display position control device S is turned on.

  First, the display position control unit 11 acquires a fixed position registered in the storage unit 12 (step S61).

  Next, the display position control unit 11 outputs control information for moving the display D to the user operable position fixed position to the drive unit 14 (step S62). Specifically, control information based on the fixed position registered in the storage unit 12 in the process of step S17 in FIG. 6 is output. Thereby, the display D moves to a fixed position.

  Next, the display position control unit 11 determines whether or not a retreat operation for moving the display D to a user operable position is detected (step S63). At this time, if the display position control unit 11 determines that the retraction operation has not been detected (step S63: NO), step S63 is executed again. On the other hand, when the display position control unit 11 determines that the retreat operation has been detected (step S63: YES), the user operation operable position and the movement mode corresponding to the vehicle type ID are acquired with reference to the movement mode table (step S64). .

  Next, the display position control unit 11 outputs to the drive unit 14 control information for moving the display D to the user operable position acquired in the process of step S64 in the movement mode acquired in the process of step S64. (Step S65). Thereby, the display D moves from the fixed position to the user operable position in the movement mode acquired in the process of step S64.

  Next, the display position control unit 11 determines whether or not a return operation for returning the display D to the home position is detected (step S66). At this time, when it is determined that the return operation is not detected (step S66: NO), the display position control unit 11 executes step S66 again. On the other hand, when the display position control unit 11 determines that the return operation has been detected (step S66: YES), the control information for moving the display D to the fixed position in the movement mode opposite to the movement mode acquired in the process of step S64. Is output to the drive unit 14 (step S67). As a result, the display D moves from the user operable position to the fixed position in the movement mode opposite to the movement mode acquired in the process of step S64. For example, when moving from a fixed position to a user operable position, (1) sliding downward, (2) sliding to the left, and (3) moving in the order of 90 ° clockwise rotation , (1) 90 degree left rotation, (2) slide to the right, and (3) move to the home position in the order of slide.

  As described above, according to the display position control apparatus S in the third embodiment, the display position control unit 11 (an example of “acquisition unit” and “control unit”) corresponds to a vehicle (an example of “moving object”). Vehicle information to be acquired and provided in a console unit (an example of a “support unit”) having an optical disc insertion slot 131 (an example of an “operation target unit”) in the vehicle, and a display D (“display”) The display D is moved to the user operable position determined based on the vehicle information by controlling the driving unit 14 that moves the “part”. Therefore, the display D can be moved to a position where a user operation with respect to the optical disc insertion slot 131 is possible.

  The vehicle information includes vehicle type information (an example of “type information”) indicating the type of vehicle, and the display position control unit 11 can be operated by the user while avoiding the interior of the vehicle specified by the vehicle type information on the display D. The drive unit 14 is controlled to move to the position. Therefore, the display D can be moved to the user operable position without contacting the interior.

  Further, the vehicle information includes vehicle type information (an example of “type information”) indicating the type of the vehicle, and the display position control unit 11 displays the display D on the hazard button H (“predetermined” of the vehicle specified by the vehicle type information). It is moved to a user operable position while avoiding obstructing the user's use of “equipment”. Therefore, the display D can be moved to the user operable position without hindering the user's use of the hazard button H.

  Furthermore, the display position control unit 11 has a movement mode for moving the display D to a user operable position, a moving mode for sliding after rotation, a moving mode for rotating after sliding, or a moving mode for sliding while rotating. Since either one is selected based on the vehicle type information and the display D is moved to the user operable position by the movement mode, the movement mode that does not interfere with the interior based on the vehicle type information and the user's use for the hazard button H are hindered. No moving mode is selected, and the display D can be moved to a user operable position without interfering with the interior or without preventing the user from using the hazard button H.

The display D may be moved to the position. In this case, the display position control unit 11 determines a position at which the user can operate the optical disc insertion slot 131 based on the target position information and a preset user position (may be a driver seat or a passenger seat position). It may be calculated. According to the first modification, the display D can be moved to the user operable position by determining the user operable position based on the position of the optical disc insertion slot 131.

[3.4.2. Second Modification]
As a movement mode when the operation unit 15 (an example of “detection unit”) moves the display D to the user operable position, a movement mode for sliding after rotation, a movement mode for rotating after sliding, or a movement for sliding while rotating The operation for selecting one of the modes may be detected, and the display position control unit 11 may move the display D to the user operable position by the movement mode selected by the operation detected by the operation unit 15. . According to the second modification, the user does not interfere with the interior of the display D or the user with respect to the hazard button H by selecting the movement mode in which the user does not interfere with the interior or the movement mode that does not prevent the user from using the hazard button H. It can be moved to a user operable position without hindering the use of.

[3.4.3. Third Modification]
