Abstract
An on-vehicle data processing system is provided which can cause the vehicle information to be displayed on a display device 10. The on-vehicle data processing system has a mode setting unit 32 for setting the running and stop modes and a data processing unit 34 for computing the mode images. The data processing unit 34 computes the running mode images representing the running states of the vehicle in real time while in the running mode and the stop mode images representing the details of the vehicle information while in the stop mode. Thus, the running mode images, more easily viewed by the driver, can be displayed on the display device in the running mode while the stop mode images, preferentially displaying the contents of the vehicle information, can be displayed on the display device in the stop mode.
