Description

Display control device, vehicle equipped with a display control device, display control method and display control program The present invention relates to a display control device, a vehicle equipped with a display control device, a display control method, and a display control program. A vehicle driving support device is known for controlling the operation of a support system equipped with multiple support functions that support driving of a vehicle by an operator. As such a vehicle driving support device, a vehicle driving support device is also known that includes a display control device configured to display on a display device which of the support functions is operating or which support functions are in an operable state (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As described above, conventional display control devices are configured to display on the display device which support functions are active or which support functions are in an operable state; however, if the number of support functions displayed on the display device becomes too large, there is a possibility that a problem may arise in which it is difficult for the vehicle operator to understand the usage status of the support system. The objective of the present invention is to provide a display control device that makes it easy for a user of the support system to understand the usage status of the support system, a vehicle equipped with the display control device, a display control method, and a display control program. The display control device according to the present invention comprises a control device that controls the operation of a display device for displaying information regarding a support system provided for the use of a vehicle. The support system comprises a plurality of different support functions. The control device is configured to display the result of an evaluation comprehensively assessed regarding the usage situation of the support system based on the operating state of each of the support functions by the display device. According to the display control device of the present invention, when a support system is equipped with a plurality of support functions, the usage status of each support function is not displayed by the display device; instead, the usage status of these plurality of support functions (i.e., the usage status of the support system) is integrated into one and displayed by the display device as a comprehensive evaluation. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the user of the support system to understand the usage status of the support system. In addition, in the display control device according to the present invention, the control device may be configured to display the result of the evaluation by the display device when the support system is operating, and to stop the display of the result of the evaluation by the display device when the operation of the support system is stopped. According to the display control device of the present invention, the result of a comprehensive evaluation is displayed only when there is a benefit in displaying the result of the comprehensive evaluation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user of the support system from feeling inconvenienced by the useless display of the result of the comprehensive evaluation. In addition, in a display control device according to the present invention, for example, when the support system has two support functions, an evaluation value is set for each of the operating states of each of the support functions, and when the sum of the evaluation values set for each of the current operating states of each of the support functions is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the evaluation becomes the highest evaluation. Even if the evaluation value set for the current operating state of one of the support functions is greater than or equal to a first evaluation value, if the evaluation value set for the current operating state of the other support function is less than a second evaluation value which is smaller than the first evaluation value, the evaluation value is set for each of the operating states of each of the support functions such that the sum of the evaluation values set for each of the current operating states of each of the support functions does not exceed the predetermined value. According to the display control device of the present invention, even when one support function is in an operating state with a high evaluation value, when the other support function is in an operating state with a low evaluation value, the sum of the evaluation values does not exceed a predetermined value, and the overall evaluation does not become a high evaluation. By doing so, the user of the support system can be encouraged to use more support functions in an operating state with a relatively high evaluation value. In addition, in a display control device according to the present invention, for example, if the evaluation value
