PROCEDURE FOR NAVIGATION DESTINATION-DEPENDENT VEHICLE PARAMETER SETTING

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for adjusting at least one vehicle parameter depending on a navigation destination. Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle configured to implement the method.

[0002] US 2010 / 02344 A1 describes a method for adaptive media playback based on a target. The method comprises determining one or more targets, collecting media content relevant to or describing one or more targets, compiling the media content into a program, and outputting the program.

[0003] DE 103 15 047 A1 describes a device for position-dependent control of vehicle functions with a control unit and a storage unit for control data, in particular position data and control commands for vehicle functions, wherein the control data are at least partially changeable.

[0004] DE 10 2012 003 292 A1 describes a method for providing a navigation function in a motor vehicle, in which a navigation destination is detected, several settings for parameter sets are determined, which comprise individual parameters for the operation of the motor vehicle and / or the navigation route that can be set by the system and / or the user, on which the required amount of energy of the motor vehicle for the journey to the detected navigation destination depends, for several of the determined settings, the required amount of energy for the journey of the motor vehicle to the detected navigation destination is calculated, a residual energy amount is calculated from the required amount of energy and the amount of energy available in the motor vehicle, and for several of the determined settings, a navigation mode is generated or selected,For each of the navigation modes, the remaining range predicted based on the calculated remaining energy quantity is visualized in a navigation map starting from the recorded navigation destination.

[0005] It is an object of the invention to adjust the at least one vehicle parameter as a function of the navigation destination, based on additional information stored so that it can be retrieved for the navigation destination. In particular, the object of the invention is to influence the driving experience of a vehicle user by changing the at least one vehicle parameter as a function of the additional information. This means that, in particular, vehicle parameters in the interior or passenger compartment of a vehicle, which are also called interior parameters, are adjusted. The additional information can relate to an event at the navigation destination and / or a property of the navigation destination. The additional information is used to determine a vehicle parameter to be adjusted and to adjust it according to the additional information and / or data associated therewith.

[0006] The invention therefore provides a method and a device according to the independent claims. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0007] In a first aspect, a method is provided for setting at least one vehicle parameter depending on the navigation destination, comprising the steps of entering a navigation destination, determining at least one item of additional information associated with the navigation destination, determining at least one vehicle parameter to be set depending on the determined additional information, and setting the at least one specific vehicle parameter.

[0008] The navigation destination can be entered at a user interface, particularly in the vehicle.

[0009] If more than one item of additional information is determined for the navigation destination, a selection option is output which allows a selection of an item of additional information, wherein the selection option is displayed, preferably graphically, on the user interface, in particular in the vehicle.

[0010] The navigation destination can be entered from outside the vehicle, in particular using a communications terminal. The vehicle can have a communications interface via which the vehicle can be connected directly and / or indirectly to the communications terminal.

[0011] To retrieve the additional information, an external memory is accessed. A vehicle control unit checks whether a connection to the external memory can be established and / or exists. If this is not the case, only the internal memory is accessed.

[0012] If no additional information can be determined, the at least one vehicle parameter is set to a predetermined parameter value. A query can be issued asking whether the setting should be made. The predetermined parameter value is stored in the internal memory and can be retrieved from there.

[0013] The at least one vehicle parameter can be adjusted gradually. It can be adjusted depending on a temporal and / or spatial distance to the navigation destination, wherein the distance is preferably calculated by a navigation unit.

[0014] A selection of adjustable vehicle parameters, a value range for setting the at least one vehicle parameter and / or a functional dependency of the setting of the at least one vehicle parameter on other vehicle parameters can be defined by a user, which is stored in particular as a setting profile in the internal memory.

[0015] The control unit can control at least one control device to adjust the at least one vehicle parameter.

[0016] A configuration, which can in particular be changed by the user, can be stored in the internal memory, which determines whether the at least one vehicle parameter is to be set, whether the at least one vehicle parameter is to be set automatically, whether the at least one vehicle parameter is to be set only in response to an input action by the user and / or which vehicle parameter is to be set to which vehicle parameter value.

[0017] The user can be shown which settings are based on the additional information. A selection option can be provided that allows them to select the vehicle parameters to be adjusted.

[0018] Vehicle parameter specifications are stored in association with the additional information in the internal memory. At least one associated vehicle parameter specification is determined for the additional information, and the at least one vehicle parameter is adjusted based on the determined at least one associated vehicle parameter specification.

[0019] Depending on a previous navigation destination, a vehicle parameter setting can be made for the navigation destination.

[0020] In a further aspect, a vehicle is provided, comprising at least one user interface configured to receive an input of a navigation destination, and at least one control unit configured to determine additional information associated with the navigation destination, wherein the control unit is configured to determine at least one vehicle parameter to be adjusted depending on the additional information determined, and to adjust the at least one specific vehicle parameter.

[0021] The invention will now be described with reference to the figures. They show: Fig. 1 shows a schematic overview of the method according to the invention, Fig. 2 shows schematic components for carrying out the inventive method, Fig. 3 shows a further illustration of the invention, Fig. 4 shows an application example of the method according to the invention, Fig. 5 shows schematically a selection option, and Fig. 6 shows a more detailed process sequence.

[0022] Setting a vehicle parameter refers, in particular, to the control of one or more control units of a vehicle. The control of one or more control units occurs in such a way that the correspondingly controlled control unit controls a vehicle component in such a way that the setting of the vehicle parameter is realized. Examples of adjustable vehicle parameters are lighting parameters (e.g., color, color temperature, and / or dimming level), media playback parameters (e.g., selection of media content), output parameters (e.g., fragrance emitted by an air freshener, sound parameters, type of display, climate parameters), driving parameters (e.g., a chassis and / or driving dynamics setting, activation / deactivation of a seat function, specification of a seat setting, steering column adjustment), etc. Multiple vehicle parameters can also be combined and adjusted simultaneously or independently of one another.It is also possible to define vehicle parameters in functional dependence on the setting of other vehicle parameters.

[0023] Fig. 1 shows schematically the method underlying the invention as a flow chart. In a first step S11, a navigation destination is initially entered. The navigation destination can in particular be specified or entered by a user. The navigation destination is preferably entered at a user interface, which can be designed, for example, as a display / input unit. A display unit of the user interface can be spatially separated from an input unit of the user interface. In one embodiment of the invention, the navigation destination is entered via a substantially known navigation unit or a navigation system. In a vehicle, the user interface can also be separated from the actual navigation unit.

[0024] In a second step S12, additional information about the navigation destination is determined. For this purpose, for example, a control unit in the vehicle can access an internal memory, i.e. a memory provided in the vehicle, and / or an external memory, i.e. a memory provided outside the vehicle. To query the external memory in particular, the control unit can use a communication interface provided in the vehicle for communication. In particular, the communication interface can be a mobile radio interface according to a known radio standard (GSM, 3G, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...). The control unit can use the vehicle's communication interface to access a remote communication system (e.g. remote system, server, cloud storage, ...) that includes the external memory in order to determine the additional information.In particular, a database query is sent to the internal and / or external memory, with the navigation destination being transmitted as a query parameter.

[0025] Depending on the additional information, at least one vehicle parameter to be adjusted is determined in a third step S13. In particular, parameter specifications for vehicle parameters may already be stored in the internal and / or external memory, which can be retrieved together with the additional information from the internal and / or external memory or other memories. It is also possible that, depending on the determined additional information, a further query is made to the internal and / or external memory in order to retrieve parameter specifications for the at least one vehicle parameter based on the additional information from the internal and / or external memory.

[0026] In a fourth step S14, the actual setting of the at least one vehicle parameter takes place. The control unit can control at least one of the control units to set the at least one vehicle parameter depending on the additional information and thus set the at least one vehicle parameter. In particular, the at least one vehicle parameter can be set to parameter specifications that were determined together with the additional information. The parameter specifications can be adjustable and / or selectable by the user. Examples of control units can be, for example, control units for media playback, interior lighting and / or an air freshener, an air conditioning unit, a display device, an input device, and / or a control unit that influences the driving characteristics of the vehicle.The control unit can communicate with the control units via a known additional communication interface and in particular via a vehicle communication network (e.g. a CAN bus or an IP-based network).

[0027] The additional information relates in particular to an event occurring at the navigation destination and / or a property of the navigation destination and thus includes data linked to the navigation destination. The navigation destination is in particular a geographical position, or a predefined or user-definable area around a geographical position. The external storage can thus be an (online) event portal and / or reference work, or be functionally linked to such a portal and / or reference work. The additional information can be provided at least partially by such a portal and / or reference work.

[0028] If more than one piece of additional information is stored for a navigation destination and consequently more than one piece of additional information is recorded as a query result by the control unit, a selection option can be displayed to the user, allowing them to choose from the available additional information. This display can advantageously be done via the user interface. Thus, if at least two pieces of additional information are retrieved from the internal and / or external memory, the user is given the option to choose between the additional information and thus the vehicle parameter settings.

[0029] The user can also define parameter defaults for specific events and / or properties, which are stored in the internal and / or external memory. These can then be called when additional information is detected that is associated with the user-defined parameter default. In particular, the additional information can identify an event or event type for which one or more parameters are stored in the internal and / or external memory.

[0030] Fig. 2 shows exemplary components that are required to execute the procedure from Fig. 1 can be used. Shown here is the user interface BS, which is functionally connected to a control unit SE. In particular, there is the possibility of bidirectional communication between the user interface BS and the control unit SE. The dashed frame indicates that the control unit SE and the user interface BS can also be provided as a single unit. Furthermore, an internal memory IS is shown, which the control unit SE can access to retrieve additional information and / or parameter specifications. The internal memory can also be integrated into the control unit and / or other components.

[0031] In addition, a communication interface KS is shown, which, as indicated by the dash-dotted frame, can also be combined with the control unit SE and / or the user interface BS. The communication interface KS, which is designed in particular as an interface for wireless communication, serves as an optional component for communication with an external memory ES. The communication interface can also be used for other communication tasks of the vehicle, and in particular for data communication and the transmission of telemetry data, as well as for the transmission of other communication data. Access to the external memory ES is optional, since parameter specifications or parameter profiles for and as additional information can also be stored in the internal memory IS.The advantage of using an external storage device (ES), however, is that current additional information about the navigation destination, particularly about events at the navigation destination and / or properties of the navigation destination, can be retrieved. The double arrows each symbolize a bidirectional communication option.

[0032] Also shown as an example is a control unit SG that can be controlled by the control unit SE to adjust the at least one vehicle parameter. It can also be provided that the control unit SE reads a status of the control unit SG, for example, to determine which parameters or parameter values ​​are currently set in and / or by the control unit.

[0033] The user interface BS can be, in particular, a touchscreen, but can also be a combination of an input unit and a display unit. In particular, the user interface BS is an infotainment system, in particular a navigation unit or a navigation system. Navigation destination input and selection options are preferably performed using the input unit of the user interface BS. In particular, the user interface BS can have an iDrive unit.

[0034] The control unit SE queries the internal memory IS and / or the external memory ES and transmits information that defines the navigation destination, a defined area around the destination, and / or a calculated arrival time at the navigation destination. The internal memory IS and / or the external memory ES then determines additional information associated with the navigation destination and sends this back to the control unit SE (directly or indirectly). The control unit SE then evaluates the received additional information and checks, in particular, whether more than one piece of additional information has been determined. If this is the case, i.e., if at least two pieces of additional information have been determined, the control unit SE initiates the display of the selection option. The user can then select one of the determined pieces of additional information using the user interface BS.

[0035] The control unit SE evaluates the selection. The control unit SE then determines at least one or more vehicle parameters to be adjusted. Information about the vehicle parameter(s) to be adjusted may already be contained in the additional information. Alternatively or additionally, the control unit SE can separately determine the parameter values ​​for the at least one piece of additional information. To do this, the control unit SE can in turn access the internal and / or external memory IS, ES. The accessed memory can be different from the memory from which the additional information was determined. In particular, for example, the additional information can specify "concert" as the event type, and the control unit SE can then retrieve stored parameter specifications for the "concert" event type. The control unit can then at least control the control unit SG to set the corresponding at least one vehicle parameter to the parameter specifications.

[0036] If the external memory ES provides the additional information, the communication interface KS can first check whether a connection to the external memory ES exists or can be established. If no connection to the external memory ES exists and cannot be established, the control unit SE can access the internal memory IS. Parameter specifications stored there, for example, for a navigation destination or the additional information can then be retrieved. This also allows the default values ​​for a navigation destination to be set, for example, if the external memory ES cannot be accessed.

[0037] Furthermore, if no additional information is determined for a navigation destination, the control unit SE can evaluate predetermined additional information which specifies one or more predetermined parameter values ​​for the at least one vehicle parameter. The vehicle parameters to be set depending on the additional information can also be changed and / or specified by the user, in particular by input via the user interface BS. A specific parameter profile can also be stored in the internal or external memory IS, ES for a determined piece of additional information, for example. For example, the user can specify at least one vehicle parameter for a property, an event type and / or a specific event, which parameter is to be set if additional information relating to this property, this event type and / or this event is determined.In addition, you can specify the value to which the vehicle parameter should be set.

[0038] The setting of at least one vehicle parameter can in particular be carried out gradually, resulting in a transition from a starting value of the vehicle parameter to a value to be set. This gradual setting can result in a smooth transition between the starting value of the vehicle parameter, i.e. before the navigation destination is entered, and the parameter value to be set after the navigation destination has been entered. The duration of the transition or the degree of change between two vehicle parameters can be specified by the user and stored in the internal and / or external memory IS, ES. On the other hand, the change in the parameter value can also be carried out gradually depending on a temporal or spatial distance from the navigation destination. Here, too, the degree of change can be configured by the user and stored in the internal memory IS and / or the external memory ES.A functional dependency of the setting of the at least one vehicle parameter on at least one other vehicle parameter, a value range for the at least one vehicle parameter, and / or a selection of the vehicle parameter by the user can also be defined and stored in this way. Thus, at least one predefined setting profile can be defined by the user for various additional information determined for a navigation destination.

[0039] Consequently, a configuration that can be changed by the user can be stored in the internal memory IS, which defines whether the at least one vehicle parameter should be set, whether the at least one parameter should be set automatically, or whether the vehicle parameter should only be set in response to an input action by the user, i.e. manually. The input action can in turn be carried out via the user interface BS. Before the at least one vehicle parameter is set, an output, preferably a graphical output, can also be provided via the user interface BS, which indicates which parameters should be set based on the additional information determined. Using a selection option, the user is then given the option of selecting at least one vehicle parameter, which is then set.In addition, the user may be given the opportunity to adjust individual vehicle parameters before they are set.

[0040] If only additional information about the selected navigation destination is stored in the internal memory IS and / or external memory ES, this additional information can reflect, for example, a type of destination or a type of event that can be expected at the destination. Parameters or parameter sets for the type of destination or the type of event can be stored in the internal memory IS and / or external memory ES. These parameter specifications are then stored in association with the additional information from the internal memory IS and / or external memory ES and can therefore be determined based on the additional information retrieved from the internal memory IS and / or external memory ES.

[0041] Of course, it can also be provided that, as in Fig. 3 is illustrated, the navigation destination and / or, if applicable, a selection of additional information is carried out on a communication terminal KG and in particular from outside the vehicle. In Fig. 3 The components are essentially Fig. 2 shown. The communication terminal KG has its own communication interface, which can be connected directly or indirectly to the communication interface KS of a vehicle FZ. Direct communication can be understood, for example, as a direct connection via Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC / RFID or similar, and in particular as an ad hoc connection between the communication terminal KG and the vehicle FZ. The direct communication between the communication terminal KG and the vehicle FZ is illustrated by communication path 1. However, indirect communication can also take place between the communication terminal KG and the vehicle FZ, e.g. via an essentially known communication infrastructure Kl. The indirect communication between the communication terminal KG and the vehicle FZ is illustrated by communication path 2. In each case, the navigation destination is transmitted from the communication terminal KG to the vehicle FZ.The control unit SE of the vehicle FZ evaluates the navigation destination data and sets the navigation destination for a subsequent journey. Selected additional information is also transmitted from the communication terminal KG to the vehicle FZ. Of course, it should be understood that communication between the communication terminal KG and the vehicle can also take place via common telecommunications methods such as mobile networks and corresponding protocols (GSM, 3 / 4 / 5G, LTE, etc.).

[0042] In both cases, the additional information for a navigation destination can be requested via the communication terminal KG (e.g. PC, smartphone, tablet PC, etc.), so that only the information relating to the selected additional information or the specification for at least one vehicle parameter is transmitted to the vehicle FZ. If only information relating to the selected additional information is transmitted to the vehicle FZ, the vehicle FZ or the control unit SE can retrieve the corresponding vehicle parameters and parameter specifications to be set itself. If only the navigation destination is transmitted from the communication terminal KG to the vehicle FZ, the query can be carried out by the vehicle FZ or the control unit SE, as described above, as to whether and, if so, which additional information is available for the entered navigation destination.

[0043] The internal memory IS can be configured, in particular, in the vehicle, e.g., in the form of an electronic storage medium (e.g., a hard disk, a flash memory, a ROM and / or RAM memory), and in particular as a portable memory. This enables the exchange of additional information, but particularly of vehicle parameters defined by the user that are associated with additional information. When user data is stored on the external memory ES, this data can be shared with other users. This allows a user to make vehicle parameter settings defined by them for an event and / or a feature of a navigation destination accessible to other users. These settings can then be transferred by the other users to their vehicles.

[0044] In Figs. 4a-4c A user interface BS is shown as an example. Using an input device EM, e.g. a finger or a stylus, Figs. 4a und 4b illustrated, a navigation destination NZ is specified. If more than one additional piece of information is then determined from the internal memory IS and / or the external memory ES, a selection option SO is displayed, which allows the selection of additional information and thus at least one vehicle parameter to be set ( Fig. 4c ). Using the input device EM, a user can then select one of the options (in Fig. 4c represented as A, B, C).

[0045] As additional information, information about an event at the navigation destination NZ or about a property of the navigation destination NZ can be determined, to which at least one vehicle parameter is then adjusted on the way to the navigation destination NZ. Preferably, interior parameters or parameters of the infotainment components, but also of driver assistance systems, are adjusted. According to the invention, the comfort functions in particular are used to enable a user to prepare for an event at the navigation destination NZ or a property of the navigation destination NZ while driving. The gradual change of the at least one vehicle parameter allows a transition in the setting of the vehicle parameter between the old navigation destination NZ and the new navigation destination NZ when a new destination is entered.

[0046] Depending on the type of navigation destination NZ and an existing online connection to the external storage ES, the additional information can then be retrieved from the external or internal memory. A configuration can be used to specify whether the setting of the vehicle parameters should be activated automatically, whether the setting should be suggested to the driver after selecting the navigation destination NZ, or whether the setting of at least one vehicle parameter should generally only be made manually. The user interface BS can also be used to select parameters or define functions that can be changed or activated by or based on the additional information. It is also possible to define parameter profiles for a navigation destination type, e.g. if the additional information relates to a specific type of navigation destination NZ (e.g. hikers' car park, sports facility, restaurant, etc.).

[0047] In addition, the system or control unit SE can also learn the driver's preferences, for example, if a selection option SO is selected multiple times. If, for example, a selection option SO is selected more often than defined by a threshold value, which is defined in particular in the internal memory, this selection option SO can be saved as the default selection. The user's vehicle parameter definitions can also be saved on a mobile data storage device that is exchangeable between vehicles. The vehicle parameter definitions or vehicle parameter profiles can thus be transferred to the new vehicle. Such a transfer can of course also take place via wireless communication between the vehicles, for example if the vehicle parameter settings or vehicle parameter profiles are stored in the external memory ES. A user can then, for example,after authentication on the external storage ES, access the vehicle parameter settings or vehicle parameter profiles.

[0048] In addition to adjusting comfort functions, other parameters can also be adjusted additionally or alternatively to adapt the vehicle's driving behavior based on the additional information obtained. For example, if the navigation destination NZ is located in a natural area, a specific driving mode, such as an economical driving mode (ECO driving mode), can be set or suggested, the lighting in the vehicle can be changed to a green tone, and forest air can be emitted through a fragrance diffuser. Furthermore, a specific sound profile can be selected for the media playback device, such as a wide or reverberating sound. Furthermore, information can be output to the user, particularly acoustic or visual information relating to the navigation destination NZ (playing music, outputting voice, playing media content).

[0049] For example, if the navigation destination NZ is a parking lot of a swimming pool, the additional information can be used to define the event "swimming", whereby at least one vehicle parameter is changed so that the interior lighting takes on a blue tone and an air freshener emits, for example, a sea scent.

[0050] A dependent vehicle parameter setting can also be made for the navigation destination NZ, depending on a previous navigation destination. For example, if the previous navigation destination defines the event "gym" in the additional information, a seat massage function can be activated for a navigation destination NZ of "at home." Relaxing music can be played via the media player, and the interior lighting can be set to warm colors.

[0051] While the above examples can only be implemented with access to an internal memory ES, a more differentiated setting of vehicle parameters can also be achieved in an online scenario, i.e., with access to an external memory ES. For example, if a football stadium is selected as the navigation destination NZ, a query can be made to an online information service, which provides additional information on which teams are playing in the football stadium at the calculated arrival time. As in Fig. 5 shown, the driver can select which team he supports using a further selection option SO1. Depending on this, the vehicle FZ can then switch to a sporty driving mode by setting at least one vehicle parameter and the interior lighting can take on the dominant color assigned to the respective team. Media content associated with the selected team, such as the team anthem, fan songs and football songs, can also be played out via the media playback device. In addition, data about the event can be played out acoustically or visually. It can also be provided that when a navigation destination NZ is selected, information about the previous navigation destination, in particular about an event or relating to the previous navigation destination, is displayed or output or corresponding vehicle parameters are set and / or remain set for a specific or configurable period of time. For example,After the team match, information related to the match is still displayed or output during a subsequent journey. A gradual transition from the vehicle parameters set for the previous navigation destination to the vehicle parameters to be set for the navigation destination NZ can be perceived by the user of the vehicle FZ as the "fading out" of an event.

[0052] In another example, a concert venue is entered as the navigation destination NZ, and an online query to the external storage device ES determines additional information about the concert or the artist who is performing, in particular, within a predefined period around a calculated arrival time at the destination. If multiple events are stored for the navigation destination NZ, a selection option SO, SO1 can be displayed to the user, allowing them to select one of the events. On the way to the navigation destination NZ, live recordings of the artist or background information can then be displayed to the user via the vehicle's media playback system FZ.

[0053] An event information system, for example, can serve as an external storage system (ES), storing information about events in connection with navigation destinations (NZ) or geographical areas. In particular, the external storage system (ES) can provide interfaces to other databases, such as media databases and / or reference works.

[0054] In Fig. 6A detailed process flow is shown. The process flow begins in step S600. In step S601, a navigation destination NZ is entered. In step S602, a check is made as to whether a connection to the external storage device ES is possible. If this is the case, the additional information is queried from the external storage device ES in an online scenario in step S603. For example, the event information can be queried as the external storage device ES by, for example, transmitting the query parameters "navigation destination" and / or "estimated arrival time" with the request. If a connection to the external storage device ES is not possible, the internal storage device IS is queried in step S604 as to whether additional information is available for the navigation destination NZ.

[0055] In step S605, a check is made to determine whether additional information is available for the navigation destination NZ. If this is the case, the determined additional information or a selection option SO related to it is displayed in step S606, allowing a selection of events at the destination or properties of the destination. If, however, no additional information is determined, a selection is enabled in step S607, allowing various additional information to be selected, which are stored, in particular, as defaults in the internal memory IS. The user can then manually specify additional information, based on which the at least one vehicle parameter is then set.

[0056] Additional data can also be transmitted with the additional information, allowing a more specific selection of the vehicle parameters to be adjusted. Therefore, in step S608, a check is made to determine whether a more detailed selection is possible and / or necessary. If so, a selection of additional information is presented to the user in step S609. In step S610, an optional selection of vehicle parameters to be adjusted is output. Finally, in step S611, the corresponding vehicle parameters are adjusted by controlling the control units. This exemplary process sequence ends in step S611.
