Patent ID: 8830049

Claim:
A display system universally adaptable to first and second types of vehicles, the first type of vehicle being equipped with an automatic air conditioner having an automatic air conditioner purpose ambient temperature sensor and the second type of vehicle being equipped with a manual air conditioner having a display purpose ambient temperature sensor, comprising: a display section configured to display an ambient temperature external to a vehicle; and a control section configured to perform a display control of the ambient temperature for the display section, the control section including a judging section configured to: judge whether the vehicle is equipped with the automatic air conditioner on a basis of a first judgment of whether, with an internal power supply supplied to an input section of the control section turned off, a pull-up voltage is inputted to the input section of the control section from the automatic air conditioner, after the first judgment, judge whether the automatic air conditioner purpose ambient temperature sensor is provided by comparing an input signal value inputted from the automatic air conditioner to the input section with a set threshold value, and judge whether the display purpose ambient temperature sensor is provided by comparing the input signal value inputted from the display purpose ambient temperature sensor with the set threshold value when the internal power supply is supplied to the input section; and a display output section configured to display the ambient temperature external to the vehicle on the display section on a basis of a temperature detection signal from the automatic air conditioner purpose ambient temperature sensor or the display purpose ambient temperature sensor in a case where the judging section judges that the automatic air conditioner ambient temperature sensor is provided and in a case where the judging section judges that the display purpose ambient temperature sensor is provided.
