Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of systems for controlling electronic devices, and more particularly to the field of vehicle-based control systems. Background Technology

[0002] It is well known that using a mobile phone while driving can be dangerous not only for the user but also for other drivers in the vicinity. In response to drivers' reluctance to completely stop using mobile phones while driving, alternative solutions have been developed, such as mirroring functions for mobile applications. However, these control systems only offer limited possibilities for continued use of electronic devices, as only some applications are accessible, and access is restricted to a few functions. Due to limited access to their electronic devices, many users often continue to use them on a holder or by holding them in their hand. This practice is illegal.

[0003] The use of electronic devices while driving remains a major source of increased accidents. It is known that 69% of motor vehicle drivers use their electronic devices while driving, and nearly one in ten accidents are related to phone use while driving. The risk of an accident increases 23 times when a user is typing a message while driving. This problem also applies to any type of motor vehicle.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention is situated in this context and seeks to overcome all the aforementioned drawbacks. Consequently, the present invention seeks to provide a system for fully controlling electronic devices using vehicle controls, utilizing the vehicle's built-in controls and its voice recognition without requiring any modifications to the vehicle. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention relates to a system for controlling electronic equipment from a vehicle. The system includes: at least one command device of the vehicle, the at least one command device including a first manual command detection module; at least one voice recognition device of the vehicle, the at least one voice recognition device including a second voice command detection module; a communication unit capable of establishing communication with the electronic equipment and exchanging data; a conversion device configured to, after establishing a connection between the electronic equipment and the vehicle, convert the at least one command device of the vehicle into a means of commanding at least one device of the electronic equipment; in response to the detection of a manual command by the first detection module, transmitting a first command instruction for commanding at least a first type of function of the electronic equipment to the electronic equipment via the communication unit; and in response to the detection of a voice command by the second detection module, transmitting a second command instruction for controlling at least a second type of function of the electronic equipment to the electronic equipment via the communication unit.

[0006] A system for controlling electronic devices provides complete and direct control over the devices. This system allows access to and interaction with all functions of the electronic device.

[0007] Systems for controlling electronic equipment can be directly integrated into a vehicle. In another embodiment, the control system can be integrated into a housing suitable for connection to a vehicle, such that when the housing is connected to the vehicle, the system operates as if it were originally installed in the vehicle.

[0008] "Vehicle" means any motor vehicle. In one exemplary implementation, "vehicle" means any land vehicle, such as a car, truck, bus, motorcycle, scooter, tractor, agricultural or industrial vehicle. In another example, "vehicle" means any air vehicle, such as an airplane.

[0009] "Electronic device" means telephone, laptop computer, smartwatch, tablet computer or any other portable electronic device.

[0010] The control system may include multiple command devices of the vehicle. “Command devices of the vehicle” means any manual control of the vehicle, such as, but not limited to, knobs, center console buttons, or steering wheel controls.

[0011] The voice recognition device can be a voice recognition device for vehicles.

[0012] The presence of a communication unit enables data exchange between the vehicle and electronic devices. "Data" refers to media data, such as audio or video, but also to control data, such as commands or control instructions.

[0013] In one implementation, the transformation from a vehicle's command device to a command electronics device can be achieved via a switching device (e.g., a dedicated button). Thus, the switching device provides the versatility of existing controls. In another implementation, the transformation can be achieved by pressing and holding one of the vehicle's command devices. In various implementations, the transformation can be performed by selecting it from the dashboard menu.

[0014] The switching can be achieved via a suitable button, allowing the driver to select which interface to control at any time.

[0015] A device that transforms a vehicle's command equipment into command electronic devices allows users to control electronic devices intuitively and safely. Each command in the vehicle's commands can then be interpreted as a control command for the electronic devices. During this transformation, the vehicle's voice command equipment can be adapted to control the electronic devices. In this way, actions such as scrolling, clicking, or activating voice commands are translated into commands specific to the electronic devices.

[0016] For example, a knob can be used to navigate an application or element of a phone interface, while buttons can be used to select a specific element of an application, activate a specific function, or interact with the application or interact directly within the application. Touch knobs can be used for specific gestures on electronic devices, such as zooming or quickly scrolling through lists. In particular, control buttons on a steering wheel provide quick access to basic functions of the electronic device. In one embodiment, the command device may include gesture commands. In another embodiment, the command device may feature eye commands, where visual recognition of eye movements enables specific gestures, such as scrolling through lists or selecting applications, similar to tapping to select.

[0017] In one implementation, the knob can be used to move the cursor on the screen of an electronic device, thus giving the user maximum flexibility to interact with a variety of applications.

[0018] In another implementation, the knob can be used to directly select interface elements, such as application icons, thus providing users with a simple, low-distraction way to interact with the application.

[0019] The first type of function may include scrolling through applications, opening messages, quickly scrolling through lists, accessing multimedia services without leaving the vehicle, selecting contacts for calls, managing music playlists, and changing songs. The first type of instruction may be associated with functions that directly control electronic devices.

[0020] Using the vehicle's command device to control electronic equipment provides an intuitive and familiar interface for users, which can help reduce distraction and improve road safety.

[0021] The second type of function refers to making phone calls or replying to text messages. This second command can be associated with the voice assistant function of an electronic device.

[0022] For users, the ability to use manual command devices, voice recognition devices, or both gives the system greater flexibility in controlling electronic devices, adapting to user preferences, and different driving situations.

[0023] In a particular embodiment of the invention, the system can be directly integrated into the vehicle manufacturer's branded software.

[0024] The ability to seamlessly transform vehicle command devices into command electronics maximizes safety by allowing the driver to focus on driving while maintaining full control of the electronic devices using simple, familiar controls. This transformation also reduces distractions by eliminating the need to handle a mobile phone.

[0025] The system is easy to implement because it can be configured and used without requiring the installation of any intermediate software.

[0026] In one implementation, the system can be integrated into the vehicle while the vehicle's onboard computer is being updated.

[0027] In another implementation, the system can be natively integrated into the vehicle.

[0028] Because of this invention, the realization of complete control allows all applications and features of the electronic device to be directly accessed by the vehicle's controls and other features, thereby minimizing physical interference, preventing handheld use of the phone, and allowing the user to keep their eyes on the road. Furthermore, indirect but complete control of the electronic device through vehicle controls allows for compliance with laws by limiting physical and visual interference while keeping hands on the steering wheel and thus controlling the vehicle.

[0029] Advantageously, at least one command device includes a button.

[0030] The use of buttons can provide users with a familiar tactile interface, thereby reducing the learning curve.

[0031] Advantageously, the first command detection module is adapted to detect manual pressing of the button.

[0032] When a user interacts with one of the command devices in the vehicle's command system, the associated first command detection module detects the manual button press command, which is transmitted to the control unit of the command device. The control unit then transmits the command to an electronic device via a communication unit.

[0033] Detection of manual presses on buttons offers the advantage of direct and immediate interaction, enabling precise control. This detection can be implemented in several different embodiments. In one embodiment, a pressure sensor capable of detecting different pressure levels is conceivable, allowing for variable-degree commands. In another embodiment, a press duration detection system can distinguish between short and long presses, thus increasing command options using a single button. In various embodiments, a capacitive sensor can detect simple contact without pressure, providing a gentler operation.

[0034] Advantageously, the second command detection module is adapted to detect voice commands.

[0035] The vehicle's voice recognition system can provide a hands-free interface, which can improve safety by allowing the driver to keep their hands on the steering wheel. The vehicle's voice recognition system may have microphones built into the passenger compartment, directional microphones for each seat, an environmental noise reduction system, or activation based on specific keywords.

[0036] Vehicle voice recognition devices can provide smooth and secure interaction with electronic devices by reducing interference while enabling users to perform important actions.

[0037] The use of voice recognition devices allows drivers to interact with their smartphones without using their hands, enhancing safety and ease of use. For example, when a message arrives in a messaging app, a long press of the voice recognition button can be used to dictate and send a voice message response, or to transcribe spoken text into a written message.

[0038] In one implementation, the keyword detection system used for activation enables targeted use and avoids accident triggering.

[0039] Advantageously, the voice recognition device is suitable for transmitting detected voice commands to the voice assistant of the electronic device.

[0040] Using a vehicle's voice system allows users to give voice commands to electronic devices, where the vehicle can activate the electronic device's voice assistant.

[0041] In one implementation, the voice recognition device may include a system for converting vehicle-specific commands into assistant-compatible commands.

[0042] Advantageously, the control system includes a connection detection module adapted to detect when an electronic device has been connected to the vehicle, and, as a result of the connection detection, to trigger a switching and transmission step by activating a switching device in response to the connection detection.

[0043] A detection module suitable for detecting when an electronic device is connected, thereby activating the switching device, can provide automatic system configuration. In one embodiment, automatic detection can be performed wirelessly. In another embodiment, automatic detection may include a near-field identification system, enabling near-instantaneous connection simply by approaching the device. In yet another embodiment, automatic detection may include a wired connection with plug-in detection.

[0044] The existence of this module allows the conversion device to be automatically activated once the electronic equipment is connected to the vehicle. Eliminating the need for manual activation by the user helps ensure that the system can be used without putting any stress on the user by guaranteeing that the control features of the electronic equipment are immediately available once the user enters the vehicle.

[0045] Advantageously, after the conversion device is activated, the detection of the command by the first detection module causes the first command instruction to be sent to the electronic device.

[0046] The communication unit can convert the detection of commands by the first detection module into simulated direct interaction, such as tapping, swiping, or long-pressing as commonly used on electronic devices.

[0047] Advantageously, at least one means of converting at least one command device of a vehicle into at least one command electronic device is based on a source switching system.

[0048] This transformation is based on a source switching system, which provides greater flexibility in the management of control between the vehicle and electronic devices.

[0049] The use of a source switching system optimally utilizes the vehicle's existing command device interface without requiring additional hardware dedicated to controlling the electronic equipment. In one implementation, the source switching system may be based on software conversion that redirects input signals to different device drivers. Changing the source provides access to data on the electronic equipment. Changing the source can be used to directly control the electronic equipment.

[0050] When the conversion is valid and the user presses one of the command devices on the steering wheel, the conversion is ensured by a communication protocol established between the various command devices and the vehicle's central unit (e.g., an electronic interface or engine computer). In one implementation, communication is managed by a digital bus such as CAN (Controller Area Network) or LIN (Local Interconnect Network). Therefore, detecting the connection between the electronic devices and the vehicle causes coded messages to be transmitted via the communication bus. The vehicle's central unit can receive the message, interpret it, and execute the associated command—that is, the means to convert the vehicle's command devices into command electronic devices. The message transmitted to the central unit contains an identifier indicating the source of the signal, data representing the requested action, and a checksum suitable for verifying the integrity of the command with a very high probability.

[0051] Subsequently, when the detection module detects a command, it sends an encoded message containing the associated command to the central unit. The central unit receives and processes the signal. In response, and essentially immediately, the central unit sends back information to the electronic device relating to the command to be executed to control the electronic device, such as activating feedback by modifying the display on the screen of the electronic device, or an audible signal confirming the activation or deactivation of a function.

[0052] Advantageously, voice recognition devices are adapted to distinguish between standard voice commands and voice commands specific to a given application of an electronic device.

[0053] The system utilizes the native voice command features of electronic devices by operating specific command devices on the steering wheel. When a user presses the command device, he or she can make a phone call, send a simple message, start navigation, or simply control the opening of an application. In this implementation, control is intuitive and instantaneous, eliminating the need for the user to manipulate touchscreens or physical controls while driving.

[0054] The system can use the vehicle's voice command device to recognize and activate application-specific voice commands. For example, a long press to activate the voice recognition device allows a user to trigger a voice command mode within a specific application. In one embodiment, a user wishing to dictate voice notes or voice messages to a dedicated messaging application can use the vehicle's voice command device while keeping his or her hands on the steering wheel. In a particular embodiment, the system may be able to detect that the user is requesting to open an application using a standard voice command. Once the application is opened, the system detects that the new voice command issued by the user is application-specific. In another embodiment, a short press (i.e., a press with a duration less than a threshold) enables the detection of a standard voice command, and a prolonged press (i.e., a press with a duration greater than a threshold) enables the detection of a voice command specific to the opened application.

[0055] This distinction enables more precise, context-sensitive management of voice commands, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the system. In one implementation, machine learning systems (such as artificial intelligence) can be implemented to improve recognition over time, adapting to the user's unique pronunciation and habits. An automatically updated database of application-specific commands provides greater flexibility and compatibility with new features.

[0056] Advantageously, at least one command device associated with the vehicle's safety functions is adapted to maintain its original function.

[0057] Key command devices related to vehicle safety and comfort, such as air conditioning and heating, indicators, lights, hazard lights, wipers, and horns, remain autonomous and independent of electronic control modes, even when the vehicle switches to electronic control mode. These functions remain accessible at all times, ensuring that critical vehicle functions remain active.

[0058] Therefore, preserving critical vehicle functions and maintaining the functionality of safety-related command equipment provides a crucial guarantee of safety. This fundamental characteristic can be implemented in several ways to ensure maximum reliability. A system that prioritizes safety commands absolutely ensures that these critical functions remain accessible and operable regardless of other operations in progress and the connectivity or control status of electronic equipment. This feature ensures that vehicle safety is never compromised by systems integrated for controlling electronic equipment.

[0059] In one implementation, the system may include an automatic switching mode in the event of an emergency, thereby enabling a rapid and appropriate response to the emergency.

[0060] In one implementation, the system may include a whitelist of commands that are never reassigned, thereby ensuring that these security functions are always active. In another implementation, the system may be based on a priority system, where security-related commands always have the highest priority, thus overriding any other assigned functions.

[0061] Advantageously, the communication unit is adapted to communicate with electronic devices via a wireless connection.

[0062] Once the electronic device is coupled to the vehicle, commands detected by the vehicle's command device or voice recognition device are transmitted to the electronic device as control signals via the communication unit to simulate direct interaction, such as tapping, swiping, or long-pressing.

[0063] In one embodiment, the wireless connection may be Bluetooth. ® Type of connection. In another implementation, the wireless connection can be a Wi-Fi connection, which can provide higher bandwidth and enable smoother interaction, especially for tasks such as real-time navigation or media delivery (e.g., audio).

[0064] Advantageously, the communication unit is adapted to communicate with electronic devices via a wired connection.

[0065] When using a wired connection, the vehicle can establish a direct connection with electronic devices, enabling the transmission of complex commands.

[0066] Wired communication between communication units and electronic devices can provide a stable connection, which can be ideal for certain applications that have bandwidth or latency requirements.

[0067] Advantageously, the system for controlling electronic devices is suitable for operation via a branded mobile application for the user's vehicle.

[0068] This implementation scheme can enhance the richness of communication between electronic devices and vehicles. For example, brand-specific features can be integrated into features such as remote diagnostics or interface customization.

[0069] Another object of the present invention is a method for controlling electronic devices from a vehicle via a control system, the method comprising the steps of: establishing a connection between the vehicle and the electronic devices; in response to the establishment of the connection, converting at least one command device of the vehicle into at least one device of the command electronic devices; and detecting a manual command via a first detection module or a voice command via a second detection module.

[0070] This method establishes a clear, structured workflow for integrating and controlling electronic devices. It provides a logical sequence of events, starting with establishing a connection, then transforming commands, and finally detecting and interpreting those commands. This structured approach ensures consistent and reliable integration of electronic devices with vehicle systems.

[0071] Advantageously, the method includes the step of transmitting a first command instruction associated with the direct control function of the electronic device to the electronic device in response to the detection of a manual command.

[0072] This step creates a direct and immediate link between the user's command of the vehicle's physical actions and the specific functions of the electronic devices, enabling quick and intuitive control of the electronic devices without the need for visual interaction, which is crucial for keeping the driver's attention on the road.

[0073] Advantageously, the method includes the step of transmitting a second command instruction associated with the voice assistant function of the electronic device in response to the detection of a voice command.

[0074] This step enables seamless integration of the vehicle's voice recognition capabilities with the voice assistant of electronic devices, thereby achieving hands-free interaction with electronic devices and greatly reducing visual and manual interference for the driver. Attached Figure Description

[0075] Further advantages and features of the invention will now be described with the aid of examples and accompanying drawings. These examples are merely illustrative and do not in any way limit the scope of the invention. In the accompanying drawings, the various figures represent: [ Figure 1 This schematically illustrates the operating steps of a system for controlling electronic devices according to one embodiment.

[0076] [ Figure 2 This schematically represents a portion of the command equipment of a vehicle according to one implementation scheme.

[0077] In the following description, unless otherwise stated, elements that are structurally or functionally identical in different figures retain the same reference numerals. Detailed Implementation

[0078] [ Figure 1 The diagram illustrates the operating steps of a system for controlling electronic equipment according to one embodiment. It also shows a portion of a command device for a vehicle according to one embodiment. Figure 2 To describe the system.

[0079] The system is designed to control electronic devices from a vehicle. In the described case, the electronic device is a smartphone. When a user enters the vehicle, a connection is established between the vehicle and the smartphone (30). To this end, the control system includes a connection detection module adapted to detect the connection between the electronic device and the vehicle (30). In response to the establishment of the connection, the control system includes a switching device (31) that, depending on the vehicle model, is automatically activated either by simply detecting the presence of the smartphone in the passenger compartment and thus without obstruction to the user, or by pressing a specific manual control on the vehicle, or by selecting it from a dedicated menu on the vehicle's dashboard. Once the user enters the vehicle, the control features of the electronic device are immediately available.

[0080] The conversion device (31) is configured to convert multiple command devices of the vehicle into multiple devices for commanding a smartphone. The converted vehicle command devices are manual vehicle command devices, i.e., center console buttons, steering wheel control buttons, or navigation wheels. The conversion device is configured to convert the vehicle's voice recognition device into a device for commanding a smartphone. The conversion device operates on a source switching system.

[0081] After the transformation (31), each of the vehicle’s voice commands (32b) or manual commands (32a) is then interpreted as a control command on the electronic device.

[0082] Once the transformation (31) is performed, the user manually presses the command device, and the press is detected by the first detection module contained in the command device (32a). When the user interacts with a command device in the command device, the first detection module associated with it detects the manual press command (32a) and transmits it to the control unit of the device (33a), which itself is capable of translating it into a simulated direct interaction with the smartphone.

[0083] Once the conversion is complete, the user issues a voice command, which is then detected by a second voice command detection module (32b) included in the vehicle's voice recognition device. This second command detection module is capable of distinguishing between standard voice commands and voice commands specific to a given application of the electronic device. When the user issues a command via voice, the second detection module associated with the vehicle's voice recognition device detects the voice command (32b) and transmits it to the device's control unit (33b) to convert it into a smartphone command.

[0084] After the control unit has translated the command detected by the first or second sensor module into a smartphone command, the smartphone command is transmitted to the communication unit. The communication unit transmits it to the smartphone to apply the command in the form of a first type of function (34a) or a second type of function (34b). In the case of a voice command, the communication unit transmits the detected command to the smartphone's voice assistant (34b). The communication unit is adapted to communicate with the electronic device via a wireless or wired connection. Among other things, the first type of function includes commands such as scrolling through applications, opening messages, quickly scrolling through lists, accessing multimedia services without leaving the vehicle, selecting a contact to call, managing music playlists, and changing songs. Among other things, the second type of function may include making phone calls or replying to text messages.

[0085] This section describes in more detail how to use the various command devices of the vehicle after they have been transformed by the conversion device.

[0086] The knob is used for navigation and selecting applications and other elements of the phone interface. In addition to rotating to scroll through elements, the knob also allows for free and intuitive scrolling of smartphone applications or menus. Touch knobs are used for specific gestures on electronic devices, such as quickly zooming or scrolling lists, as if the user were using a stylus. Buttons can be used to select specific application elements, activate specific functions, or interact with applications. Specifically, the control buttons on the steering wheel (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) provide quick access to the basic functions of the electronic device. In addition to common functions such as volume control (5, 6) or call activation, the steering wheel buttons allow for horizontal and vertical navigation (1, 2) within the smartphone interface. This allows the driver to scroll through application, list, or menu options directly from the steering wheel commands.

[0087] For example,[ Figure 2 The command devices (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) shown in the diagram have different functions than those familiar to ordinary users when transformed into devices for commanding electronic devices. For example, the arrows (1, 2) can be pressed briefly to scroll through applications or menus on the electronic device. Long presses or double presses on these buttons (1, 2) can be used to switch pages on the electronic device. A short press of the back button (3) returns to the previous operation, while a long press of the same button (3) once a connection (30) has been established allows the user to change the button's function from commanding the electronic device (31) to commanding the vehicle, and vice versa, while maintaining the connection (30) active.

[0088] A brief press of the voice command button (4) activates the electronic device's voice assistance and thus controls standard voice commands. A long press of the same button (4) activates the voice recording of an open application and thus controls application-specific voice commands.

[0089] The system is designed so that when the conversion device is activated, all command devices related to the vehicle's safety functions retain their original functionality. In this way, command devices crucial to the user's safety and comfort are transformed from vehicle-specific command devices into smartphone control modes. Once the conversion occurs, if the user attempts to use one of the command devices associated with vehicle safety, it will perform the intended function of the vehicle, rather than a command to the smartphone. Key functions that retain their original functionality include maintaining autonomous and independent air conditioning, heating, indicators, turn signals, hazard warning lights, and windshield wipers.

[0090] The foregoing description clearly explains how the present invention achieves its object, namely, by providing a system for controlling electronic devices from a vehicle, a system for fully controlling electronic devices using a vehicle's command device, the system utilizing the vehicle's built-in controls and voice recognition without requiring any modification to the vehicle, the system comprising at least one command device of the vehicle, at least one voice recognition device of the vehicle, a communication unit capable of establishing communication and exchanging data with the electronic devices, and a conversion device configured to transform the vehicle's command device into a means for commanding the electronic devices when a connection is established; in response to the detection of a manual command by a first detection module, a first command instruction is transmitted to the electronic devices via the communication unit, or in response to the detection of a voice command by a second detection module, a second command instruction is transmitted to the electronic devices via the communication unit, while keeping the vehicle safety controls active.

[0091] This objective is achieved through the implementation of complete control, which allows all applications and features of electronic devices to be directly accessed by the vehicle's controls and other features, thereby minimizing physical interference, preventing handheld phone use, and preventing the user from having to take their eyes off the road. Furthermore, indirect but complete control of electronic devices via the vehicle's command devices allows for compliance with laws by limiting physical and visual interference while keeping hands on the steering wheel, and thus maintaining control of the vehicle while keeping its native safety features accessible.

[0092] In no event is the invention limited to the embodiments specifically described in this document, but extends particularly to any equivalent means and any combination of technical operations of such means.
