Patent Description:
The present invention relates to a vehicle function operation apparatus and method.

In general, with the development of vehicles, a structure of a cockpit in the vehicle tends to gradually diversify, and not only various convenient functions in a cockpit module but also a method of operating the corresponding functions are variously provided for each vehicle.

For example, when convenience devices in the cockpit module are operated, so far, a touch-type display using an audio video navigation (AVN) system or the like or a hard-type button-type switch are universally applied, and operations of recent air conditioners are implemented as a touch type composed of a separate display device.

However, the method of operating the device only provides a limited general structure, which is limited in terms of design and disappointed in terms of convenience.

In particular, there is a problem in that since most of the conventional operation packages are driver-centered as part of increasing ease of use while traveling, the ease of use is rather reduced when considering various traveling modes in autonomous vehicles such as a purpose-built vehicle (PBV).

<CIT>) relates to an in-vehicle control apparatus using a detachable knob and a method of controlling the same. The method comprises controlling a vehicle using the detachable knob. The method includes detecting whether the detachable knob is attached to a first display of an audio video navigation (AVN) system. The first display includes a number of regions. Information on a controlled function corresponding to one of the regions to which the detachable knob is attached is transmitted from the AVN system to the detachable knob. A first user interface corresponding to the information the controlled function is output on a second display of the detachable knob. Result information according to an operation of the detachable knob is transmitted from the detachable knob to the AVN system. The controlled function is controlled based on the result information in the AVN system.

<CIT>) relates to an in-vehicle function control apparatus using a detachable knob and a method of controlling the same.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-described problems, and is directed to providing a vehicle function operation apparatus and method capable of satisfying a condition for each of various traveling modes of occupants in an autonomous traveling environment of a vehicle (e.g., PBV).

<FIG> show a vehicle function operation apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to <FIG>, a vehicle function operation apparatus <NUM> functions as a controller configured to operate various functions of a vehicle <NUM>. The vehicle function operation apparatus <NUM> may be controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) <NUM>.

As part of satisfying the user's behavioral conditions in the autonomous traveling environment, the vehicle function operation apparatus <NUM> configures a separate position variable operation system in order to apply various traveling modes.

Referring to <FIG>, the vehicle function operation apparatus <NUM> largely includes a matching table <NUM> and a position variable knob dial <NUM>.

The matching table <NUM> functions as a control panel configured to display icons for each of various in-vehicle functions. Basically, the matching table <NUM> is positioned between a display <NUM> and a steering wheel <NUM> on the cockpit module as shown, but is not limited thereto and may be positioned in any area in the vehicle.

For example, the matching table <NUM> may be positioned on a side door trim or a separate table (not shown) accommodated in the vehicle to provide an environment in which not only a driver, but also other occupants may easily operate in-vehicle functions.

The knob dial <NUM> is electrically linked with the icon displayed on the matching table <NUM> to enable a detailed function operation of the corresponding icon.

When the knob dial <NUM> is mounted in a console <NUM>, overall in-vehicle system management (various convenience functions, traveling control, and the like) is possible through a basic dial operation. Here, the knob dial <NUM> may be simply mounted or configured as a pop-up type.

Basically, the knob dial <NUM> is detachably mounted in the console <NUM> linked with a main operation system <NUM>, but has a variable position structure linked with the matching table <NUM> outside a mounting area when necessary.

In particular, the knob dial <NUM> has various usability in that it may be positioned in any area in the vehicle including a crash pad and a door trim in addition to the shown console <NUM>.

Referring to <FIG> and <FIG>, the matching table <NUM> selectively displays lighting for each position and function based on a backlight <NUM> in the entire area.

For example, basic settings of the matching table <NUM> automatically turns on a backlight illumination of an icon <NUM> when the knob dial <NUM> is removed from a mounting area <NUM>. In other words, when the knob dial <NUM> is mounted on the mounting area <NUM>, the icon <NUM> of the matching table <NUM> may be in a state in which the backlight illumination is turned off.

As shown in <FIG>, icons <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, and <NUM>-<NUM> for each function are displayed on the matching table <NUM>, but positions of the icons <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, and <NUM>-<NUM> for each function shown are only one example, and the user may selectively change or modify and/or change the position of the icon <NUM>.

For example, when the knob dial <NUM> comes into contact with a specific icon <NUM>-<NUM>, the backlight illumination of the remaining icons <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, and <NUM>-<NUM> may be turned off in the settings. In other words, the backlight illumination of the icons <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, and <NUM>-<NUM> for each function may be selectively turned on/off according to the settings.

At this time, the matching table <NUM> may also turn on/off the backlight illumination of the icon <NUM> by setting a separate option regardless of whether the knob dial <NUM> is detached from the mounting area <NUM>.

The matching table <NUM> may partition a display position of the icon <NUM> for each preset area. Here, the preset area means preset display positions of various icons <NUM> functioning as a switch of each function in order to easily control various functions of the vehicle.

The matching table <NUM> may arbitrarily display the position of the icon <NUM> by operating the knob dial <NUM>. In this case, the matching table <NUM> may highlight only the selected specific icon <NUM>-<NUM> to increase or decrease a brightness value compared to a default value in a state of illuminating all the icons <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, and <NUM>-<NUM> with the backlight at the default brightness.

Referring to <FIG> and <FIG>, when the matching table <NUM> comes into contact with the knob dial <NUM>, only the corresponding icon <NUM>-<NUM> of the area where the knob dial <NUM> is positioned is displayed and the remaining icons are hidden. In other words, the backlight illumination is turned on for only the corresponding icon <NUM>-<NUM> of the matching table <NUM> linked with the knob dial <NUM>, and the backlight illumination is turned off for the remaining icons for convenience. At this time, the knob dial <NUM> linked with the matching table <NUM> may also be changed to a specific color in order to confirm an identification with a naked eye. This is to confirm with the naked eye that the knob dial <NUM> and the matching table <NUM> have been linked. The color of the knob dial <NUM> may be selectively changed.

Referring to <FIG>, when the knob dial <NUM> comes into contact with the area of the specific icon <NUM>-<NUM> of the matching table <NUM>, the matching table <NUM> and the knob dial <NUM> are electrically linked with each other. In this case, as described above, the illumination of a backlight <NUM> for the knob dial <NUM> and the specific icon <NUM>-<NUM> is turned on to identify the linkage confirmation.

At the same time, the matching table <NUM> displays (turns on the backlight) a widget <NUM> for each detailed function of the specific icon <NUM>-<NUM> around the knob dial <NUM> linked with the specific icon <NUM>-<NUM>. Each widget <NUM> may be selected according to a rotation operation of the knob dial <NUM>, and the knob dial <NUM> is turned on as a switch to implement an operation function. Accordingly, the corresponding function of the selected widget <NUM> may be performed by touching the knob dial <NUM>.

When there is a detailed function of the selected widget <NUM>, a mark (not shown) governing the detailed function of the corresponding widget <NUM> is displayed on the matching table <NUM> by the first touch of the knob dial <NUM>, and when the knob dial <NUM> is touched once more, the function of the corresponding mark may be performed.

Here, the matching table <NUM> may arbitrarily display a position of the mark by operating the knob dial <NUM>.

Referring to <FIG>, separately from the widget (<NUM> in <FIG>) displayed on the matching table <NUM>, the knob dial <NUM> may display a widget 1211a for each detailed function of the selected specific icon <NUM>-<NUM> on a touch area (e.g., a light emitting diode (LED) panel, hereinafter referred to as a "touch portion").

Here, the matching table <NUM> may display the mark for each detailed function of the widget 1211a displayed on the knob dial <NUM> around the knob dial <NUM>.

As another example, when the user selects one of the widgets 1211a displayed on the knob dial <NUM>, the corresponding mark is not displayed on the matching table <NUM>, and the corresponding mark may be displayed on the touch area of the knob dial <NUM>.

Referring to <FIG>, the knob dial <NUM> includes a dial unit <NUM>, a housing <NUM>, and a linkage switch <NUM>.

The dial unit <NUM> enables a detailed function operation of the corresponding icon displayed on the matching table <NUM> in a touch and rotation manner.

To this end, the dial unit <NUM> includes a touch portion <NUM> and a dial portion <NUM>.

The touch portion <NUM> functions as a switch that physically enables a depressing operation. The touch portion <NUM> may be changed to a preset backlight color when the knob dial <NUM> is linked with the matching table <NUM>.

In addition, the touch portion <NUM> may also display the corresponding widget on the touch area separately from a widget for each detailed function of the icon displayed on the matching table <NUM>.

The dial portion <NUM> may rotate and select the widget for each detailed function of the selected icon displayed on the matching table <NUM> while surrounding an outer circumferential surface of the touch portion <NUM>. Of course, the dial portion <NUM> may also rotate and select the widgets displayed on the touch portion <NUM>.

A corresponding function of the widget selected through the dial portion <NUM> may be performed by the depressing operation of the touch portion <NUM>.

Subsequently, the housing <NUM> surrounds a lower portion of the dial unit <NUM>. A non-slip pad capable of preventing slippage may be provided on a lower end surface of the housing <NUM>.

The linkage switch <NUM> is positioned by passing through a center of a lower end of the housing <NUM> to determine the linkage between the matching table <NUM> and the knob dial <NUM> depending on whether the matching table <NUM> and the knob dial <NUM> come into contact with each other. The linkage switch <NUM> may be a tact switch.

Meanwhile, the knob dial <NUM> removed from the mounting area adopts a direct contact method for electrical linkage with the matching table <NUM>.

To this end, an interval L1 between the linkage switch <NUM> and the matching table <NUM> in <FIG> and an interval L2 between the linkage switch <NUM> and the matching table <NUM> in <FIG> means that the knob dial <NUM> and the matching table <NUM> are not in direct contact with each other, so that the knob dial <NUM> and the matching table <NUM> are not in a state of being linked with each other.

On the other hand, as shown in <FIG>, when the linkage switch <NUM> comes into contact with the matching table <NUM> with an interval L3 held after the linkage switch <NUM> is physically depressed, the knob dial <NUM> and the matching table <NUM> are in a state of being electrically linked.

At this time, the touch portion <NUM> functions as a trigger that performs the functions of the icons, widgets, and marks displayed on the matching table <NUM> through the physical depressing operation, and as another example, may also function as a trigger that performs the functions of the widgets and marks displayed on the touch portion <NUM>.

The dial portion <NUM> may rotate along the outer circumferential surface of the touch portion <NUM> with respect to an axial line to select icons, widgets, and marks.

Referring to <FIG>, a vehicle function operation method largely includes a knob dial linking operation (S1100), a selected icon displaying operation (S1200), and an operation of displaying a widget for each detailed function (S1300).

In the knob dial linking operation (S1100), the position variable knob dial and the matching table that displays icons for each of various functions in the vehicle are linked.

The knob dial linking operation (S1100) may include a knob dial separating operation (S1110) and a knob dial connecting operation (S1120).

In the knob dial separating operation (S1110), the knob dial mounted on the preset mounting area in the vehicle is removed from the mounting area. When the knob dial is removed from the mounting area, the matching table turns on the backlight illumination to display the icons for each of various functions of the vehicle. Here, in the knob dial separating operation (S1110), the knob dial may be removed from the mounting area in a state in which a power source between the mounting area and the knob dial has been deactivated.

In the knob dial connecting operation (S1120), the knob dial removed (separated) from the mounting area is brought into contact with the matching table to electrically link the knob dial with the matching table.

In the knob dial connecting operation (S1120), when the knob dial is linked with the matching table, the knob dial may be changed to a preset backlight color. At this time, the setting that changes the knob dial to the corresponding backlight color is possible as an option.

Next, in the selected icon displaying operation (S1200), only the corresponding icon of the area where the knob dial is positioned is displayed on the matching table linked with the knob dial.

The selected icon displaying operation (S1200) includes a backlight hidden illuminating operation (S1210) of displaying only the corresponding icon in the area where the knob dial is positioned on the matching table and hiding the remaining icons when the knob dial comes into contact with the matching table.

Next, in the operation of displaying the widget for each detailed function (S1300), the widget for each detailed function of the corresponding icon is displayed around the icon on the matching table where the knob dial is positioned according to the operation of the knob dial.

In the operation of displaying the widget for each detailed function (S1300), the widget for each detailed function of the icon is selected by the operation of the knob dial operated in a touch and rotation manner, so that it is possible to selectively control the corresponding function.

<FIG> show a vehicle function operation apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to <FIG>, a vehicle function operation apparatus <NUM> functions as a controller configured to operate various functions of a vehicle <NUM> as in the above-described embodiment. The vehicle function operation apparatus <NUM> may be controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) <NUM>.

As part of satisfying the user's behavioral conditions in the autonomous traveling environment, the vehicle function operation apparatus <NUM> configures a separate position variable operation system in order to apply various traveling modes. In particular, the vehicle function operation apparatus <NUM> is different from the above-described embodiment in that separate symbols (icons, widgets, and marks) are projected.

The matching table <NUM> displays icons for each of various in-vehicle functions for each area. Basically, the matching table <NUM> is positioned between a display <NUM> and a steering wheel <NUM> on a cockpit module as shown, but is not limited thereto and may be positioned in any area in the vehicle.

The knob dial <NUM> is electrically linked with the icon displayed on the matching table <NUM> to enable a detailed function operation of the corresponding icon. The knob dial <NUM> projects a widget for each detailed function of the corresponding icon on a contact area with the matching table <NUM>.

Referring to <FIG> and <FIG>, the matching table <NUM> selectively displays the illumination for each position and function based on a backlight <NUM> in the entire area.

When the matching table <NUM> comes into contact with the knob dial <NUM>, the illumination of the backlight <NUM> is activated for only a corresponding icon <NUM>-<NUM> of an area (any one place among A1, A2, A3, and A4) in which the knob dial <NUM> is positioned, and the illumination of the backlight <NUM> for remaining icons <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, and <NUM>-<NUM> is deactivated.

At this time, the matching table <NUM> includes a monitoring sensor <NUM> configured to partition the area for each icon <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, <NUM>-<NUM>, and <NUM>-<NUM> on an upper end surface.

The knob dial <NUM> is positioned in a preset mounting area <NUM> in the vehicle and comes into contact with the matching table <NUM> after being removed from the mounting area <NUM>. When the linkage between the knob dial <NUM> and the matching table <NUM> is deactivated, the knob dial <NUM> may be mounted on and stored in the mounting area <NUM>.

The knob dial <NUM> has a built-in battery (not shown) having a predetermined capacity, so that when the knob dial <NUM> is mounted on the mounting area <NUM>, the battery may be charged wirelessly.

Basically, the knob dial <NUM> is detachably mounted in the console <NUM> linked with a main operation system <NUM>, but has a variable position structure that is linked with the matching table <NUM> outside the mounting area <NUM> when necessary.

In particular, the knob dial <NUM> may be positioned in any area in the vehicle including a crash pad and a door trim in addition to the shown console <NUM>.

Referring to <FIG>, when the matching table <NUM> comes into contact with the knob dial <NUM>, only the corresponding icon <NUM>-<NUM> of the area where the knob dial <NUM> is positioned is displayed and the remaining icons are hidden. In other words, a backlight illumination is turned on for only the corresponding icon <NUM>-<NUM> of the matching table <NUM> linked with the knob dial <NUM>, and the backlight illumination is turned off for the remaining icons for convenience.

At this time, the knob dial <NUM> linked with the matching table <NUM> may also be changed to a specific color in order to confirm an identification with a naked eye. This is to confirm with the naked eye that the knob dial <NUM> and the matching table <NUM> has been linked. The color of the knob dial <NUM> may be selectively changed.

As a modified example, when the matching table <NUM> comes into contact with the knob dial <NUM>, only the corresponding icon in the area where the knob dial <NUM> is positioned may be displayed with a different color.

The knob dial <NUM> is different from the knob dial (<NUM> in <FIG>) for hiding or expressing the corresponding symbols (icons, widgets, and marks) in that it projects icons, widgets, and marks.

In other words, the knob dial <NUM> in the second embodiment is the same as the above-described knob dial (<NUM> in <FIG>) in that it largely includes a dial unit <NUM>, a housing (not shown), and a linkage switch (not shown), but a detailed configuration thereof is different. Hereinafter, only a configuration different from that of the knob dial (<NUM> in <FIG>) in the first embodiment will be described, and the same overlapping configuration will be omitted.

The dial unit <NUM> of the knob dial <NUM> includes a touch portion <NUM>, a dial portion <NUM>, and a projector module <NUM>.

In addition, the touch portion <NUM> may also display the corresponding widget on the touch area separately from the widget for each detailed function of the icon displayed on the matching table <NUM>.

The projector module <NUM> is connected to the dial portion <NUM> and comes into contact with the matching table <NUM> to project the widget for each detailed function of the corresponding icon <NUM>-<NUM>.

Here, the dial portion <NUM> may include an around slit (not shown) formed along the outer circumferential surface so that the beam of the projector module <NUM> may be projected over the entire area (<NUM> degrees).

As shown in <FIG>, the beam of the projector module <NUM> projects a plurality of widgets by arranging the plurality of widgets in a straight shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Accordingly, the beam of the projector module <NUM> may also project the plurality of widgets by arranging the plurality of widgets in a curved shape.

Referring to <FIG>, a vehicle function operation method according to the second embodiment largely includes a knob dial linking operation (S2100) and an operation of projecting a widget for each detailed function (S2200).

First, in the knob dial linking operation (S2100), the position variable knob dial comes into contact with and is electrically linked with the matching table in which the icons for each of various functions in the vehicle are displayed for each area.

The knob dial linking operation (S2100) includes a knob dial separating operation (S2110) and a knob dial connecting operation (S2120).

In the knob dial separating operation (S2100), the knob dial mounted on the preset mounting area in the vehicle is removed from the mounting area. At this time, when the knob dial is removed from the mounting area, the matching table turns on the backlight illumination to display the icons for each of various functions of the vehicle. Here, in the knob dial separating operation (S2110), the knob dial may be removed from the mounting area in a state in which a power source between the mounting area and the knob dial has been deactivated.

In the knob dial connecting operation (S2120), the knob dial removed (separated) from the mounting area is brought into contact with the matching table to electrically link the knob dial with the matching table.

In the knob dial connecting operation (S2120), when the knob dial is linked with the matching table, the knob dial may be changed to a preset backlight color. At this time, a setting that changes the knob dial to the corresponding backlight color is possible as an option.

Next, in the operation of projecting the widget for each detailed function (S2200), the widget for each detailed function of the corresponding icon positioned on the contact area with the matching table is projected by the knob dial linked with the matching table.

The operation of projecting the widget for each detailed function (S2200) includes a projection type selecting operation (S2210) and an operation of selecting and controlling the widget for each detailed function (S2220).

In the projection type selecting operation (S2210), a straight or curved projection type is selected for the widget for each detailed function of the corresponding icon displayed on the matching table. The corresponding operation (S2210) may basically designate a beam projection type and also arbitrarily select the beam projection type as an option.
