[0048] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial technical effects to be solved by this application more clearly understood, this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and multiple exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] Figure 1 The schematic diagram shows an example of an in-vehicle display system 1 for a vehicle according to the present application. The type of vehicle is not limited herein, but the vehicle is particularly a passenger car, in particular a sedan or SUV. The in-vehicle display system 1 includes:

[0050] a screen 11, wherein the screen 11 is convertible between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration;

[0051] a storage chamber 12 for storing the screen 11 in the folded state;

[0052] The movement mechanism 13 is used to move the screen 11 into the storage chamber 12 and to move the screen 11 out of the storage chamber 12 .

[0053] Here, the unfolded form of the screen 11 corresponds in particular to the use form of the screen 11, while the folded form of the screen 11 corresponds in particular to the non-use form of the screen 11. The folded form should in particular be understood as a form that is easier to store than the unfolded form. For example, compared to the unfolded form, in the folded form, the size of the screen 11 in at least one spatial direction is slightly increased while the size in at least one other spatial direction is significantly reduced. By setting two forms of the screen 11, the screen 11 can be moved out of the storage chamber 12 and unfolded when in use, and folded and moved into the storage chamber 12 when not in use. This makes it easy to use a limited space in the vehicle to realize a large vehicle-mounted screen, thereby improving the user experience and enhancing the sense of luxury and sophistication of the vehicle.

[0054] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the screen 11 is configured as a flexible screen. However, alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable that the screen 11 is configured as other types of screens such as a combination screen.

[0055] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, in the retracted form, the screen 11 is rolled up, folded, closed or curled up. The in-vehicle display system 1 may, for example, include a conversion mechanism, which is used to convert the screen 11 between the expanded form and the retracted form. It is conceivable that: the conversion mechanism is constructed similarly to a scroll, and the screen 11 can be rolled up by the scroll accordingly; or, the conversion mechanism can be closed like a book and thereby fold the screen 11; or, the conversion mechanism is constructed similarly to an umbrella, so that the screen 11 can be closed like an umbrella; or, the conversion mechanism can curl up the screen 11. Those skilled in the art can also conceive of any other suitable folding methods of the screen 11, which are not listed here one by one.

[0056] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, in the deployed configuration, the screen 11 is deployed in a flat or curved form. It is further conceivable that the conversion mechanism can selectively deploy the screen 11 in a flat or curved form. In the deployed configuration, the screen 11 is, for example, square or rectangular, particularly a fish-eye screen. However, it is also conceivable that the screen 11 is a perfect circle or ellipse.

[0057] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the screen 11 is for rear-seat passengers. In the front row, due to limited driving space, the space available for the screen 11 is limited. Therefore, the screen 11 is advantageously for rear-seat passengers, thereby providing them with a large in-vehicle entertainment screen.

[0058] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, in the unfolded configuration, the screen 11 is at least 20 inches.

[0059] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the storage compartment 12 comprises a fixed storage compartment fixed relative to the body of the vehicle. Figure 2 The perspective view schematically shows an example of a part of the vehicle's cab. Here, the front armrest box 2 of the vehicle can be seen. Figure 2 As shown, the fixed storage compartment can be located in the front console box 2 of the vehicle. However, it is also conceivable that the fixed storage compartment shown is located in the rear console box, in the front seats, or in the vehicle's floor. If the fixed storage compartment is located in the front seats or in the vehicle's floor, it is conceivable that the in-vehicle display system 1 includes two screens 11 and two motion mechanisms 13. These two screens 11 can be stored in a corresponding storage compartment 12 in the front seats or in a storage compartment 12 in the vehicle's floor. These two screens 11 can be combined to form a single, ultra-large entertainment screen. Depending on the layout of the vehicle's cab, those skilled in the art can also envision any other suitable location for the fixed storage compartment. Furthermore, the fixed storage compartment can, for example, be provided with a movable cover that automatically opens when the screen 11 is extended and automatically closes when the screen 11 is retracted. The fixed storage compartment can be used to house both the screen 11 and the motion mechanism 13. In this case, the motion mechanism 13 is, for example, fixedly connected to the screen 11. However, it is also conceivable that the movement mechanism 13 is detachably connected to the screen 11. To this end, the movement mechanism 13 may include, for example, a gripper, an electromagnetic suction head, or a vacuum suction head. It is also conceivable that a dedicated storage chamber, separate from the fixed storage chamber, is provided for the movement mechanism 13. This frees the fixed storage chamber from accommodating the movement mechanism 13, allowing the maximum possible space to be used for the screen 11, which in turn allows for a larger screen 11.

[0060] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the storage chamber 12 comprises an integrated storage chamber integrated with the movement mechanism 13. The integrated storage chamber is, for example, a cavity within the movement mechanism 13. After the screen 11 reaches the collapsed configuration, the screen 11 can be moved into the integrated storage chamber, for example, by translation and / or pivoting. This further reduces the volume occupied by the screen 11 and the movement mechanism 13, facilitating its retraction.

[0061] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the motion mechanism 13 is capable of switching between a viewing position and a retracted position. In the viewing position, the motion mechanism 13 positions the screen 11 in a suitable viewing position. In the retracted position, the motion mechanism 13 is hidden or at least partially forms a coherent sculpted surface within the vehicle. It is conceivable that the motion mechanism 13 lies down in the retracted position and stands upright in the viewing position.

[0062] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the in-vehicle display system 1 is configured such that: the screen 11 is directly stored in the fixed storage chamber along with the moving mechanism 13, and the moving mechanism 13 does not have an integrated storage chamber here, for example; or, the screen 11 is first stored in the integrated storage chamber of the moving mechanism 13 and then stored in the fixed storage chamber along with the moving mechanism 13; or, the screen 11 is stored in the integrated storage chamber of the moving mechanism 13 and then the moving mechanism 13 reaches a retracted position that at least partially forms a continuous styling surface inside the vehicle. Here, the storage chamber 12 may not include a fixed storage chamber, and the moving mechanism 13, for example, just complements a styling notch inside the vehicle, so that the moving mechanism 13 forms a continuous styling surface inside the vehicle in the retracted position.

[0063] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the motion mechanism 13 comprises a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. The robotic arm is particularly a robotic arm with 4, 5, or more degrees of freedom. However, it is also conceivable that the motion mechanism 13 is a common mechanical motion mechanism 13.

[0064] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the motion mechanism 13 is used to adjust the screen 11 in a manner to compensate for vehicle body shaking, avoid glare and / or adapt to the position of human eyes. To compensate for vehicle body shaking, the in-vehicle display system 1 includes, for example, a vehicle height sensor 14. Figure 3 An example of the location of the vehicle height sensor 14 on the vehicle is schematically shown in a perspective view. Figure 3As shown, for example, a vehicle height sensor 14 is provided at each of the four wheels. However, those skilled in the art can also conceive of other suitable installation positions. The data of the vehicle height sensor 14 is transmitted to the controller of the vehicle display system 1, for example, and the controller recognizes the shaking of the vehicle body and controls the motion mechanism 13 accordingly to automatically level the screen 11 to ensure viewing comfort. However, it is also possible that the controller of the vehicle display system 1 obtains data directly from the sensors and / or controllers related to vehicle body shaking detection that the vehicle itself has. In order to avoid glare, the vehicle display system 1 includes, for example, a light sensor. The light sensor is especially provided on the screen 11, in particular, at the four corners of the screen 11. The data of the light sensor is transmitted to the controller of the vehicle display system 1, for example, and the controller learns the lighting conditions and controls the motion mechanism 13 accordingly to adjust the screen 11 to avoid glare. The motion mechanism 13 can also adjust the screen 11 to adapt to the position of the human eye. For rough adaptation to the position of the human eye, it is conceivable that the weight sensor in the seat, whether the seat belt is plugged in, or a camera can be used to determine which rear seat occupant is seated. The controller then controls screen 11 to face the occupied seat. If multiple seats are occupied, screen 11 is then controlled to face between these seats. For finer adaptation to the position of the human eye, it is conceivable that the camera tracks the position of the human eye and then precisely adjusts the position and orientation of screen 11 to suit the position of the human eye. It is also conceivable that the in-vehicle display system 1 has a selection function, which allows users to select which person in the rear seat should view screen 11. If it is a single person, screen 11 is then directed toward that person. If it is multiple people, screen 11 is then directed toward the center of the group.

[0065] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the in-vehicle display system 1 includes a front-row camera 15, and the screen 11 is used to obtain data from the front-row camera 15 and display the front-row view on the screen 11. After the rear-row screen 11 is deployed, due to its large size, rear-seat passengers may have difficulty viewing the front row as in a normal vehicle. By displaying the front-row view on the screen 11, rear-seat passengers can also see the front-row view when needed. The screen 11 may, for example, have a picture-in-picture function for displaying the front-row view in picture-in-picture mode.

[0066] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the vehicle display system 1 includes a rear camera 17 and a front screen 16 (see Figure 2 ), the front screen 16 is used to obtain data from the rear camera 17 and display the rear scene on the front screen 16.

[0067] Figure 4An example of the location of the front camera 15 and the rear camera 17 in the vehicle's cab is schematically shown in a perspective view. Here, one front camera 15 and one rear camera 17 are exemplarily located in the middle of the vehicle roof. It is also conceivable that the in-vehicle display system 1 includes multiple front cameras 15 and / or multiple rear cameras 17. The occupants can selectively switch to one or more appropriate cameras to see the scene they want. For example, the rear passengers may sometimes want to see the front passenger's face and sometimes want to see the front dashboard. In addition, any other suitable location for the front camera 15 and the rear camera 17 is also conceivable, for example, the rear camera 17 can be directly located on the screen 11.

[0068] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the controller of the in-vehicle display system 1 is configured to display the front row scene on the screen 11 and the rear row scene on the front row screen 16 when the screen 11 is deployed and receives a signal from the front row passenger turning their head. The front row passenger turning their head indicates that they wish to communicate with the rear row passengers. After the front row camera 15 captures the front row passenger turning their head, the controller automatically displays the rear row and front row scenes on the front row screen 16 and the rear row screen 11, respectively, thereby enabling front and rear row interaction.

[0069] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the controller is configured to control the motion mechanism 13 to move the screen 11 in the deployed state to the roof 3 of the vehicle when there is a risk of collision. Figure 5 An example of the screen 11 being moved to the roof 3 of the vehicle is schematically shown in a three-dimensional diagram. Since a collision usually occurs suddenly, there is generally no time to retract the screen 11. In order to avoid a secondary collision, the screen 11 can be moved directly to the roof 3 of the vehicle when a collision risk is predicted, that is, before a collision occurs, to improve safety. In order to predict the risk of collision, it is conceivable that the controller can obtain data from the vehicle's own collision sensors and various radars and judge the collision risk accordingly. It is also conceivable that the in-vehicle display system 1 includes a plurality of collision sensors 18. An example of the location where the collision sensor 18 is set on the vehicle is Figure 3 The stereogram is shown schematically in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, a collision sensor 18 is provided on the vehicle, for example, in each of the four positions: front, rear, left, and right. However, other numbers and locations of collision sensors 18 are also conceivable. The controller may also consider other parameters, such as vehicle speed. Methods for predicting collision risk are well known in the art and will not be further described here.

[0070] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the controller is configured to control the motion mechanism 13 in the expanded configuration of the screen 11, causing the screen 11 to perform interactive actions. It is envisioned that after a passenger boards the vehicle and takes a seat, the controller controls the motion mechanism 13 to cause the screen 11 to perform a welcoming gesture; and when the passenger exits the vehicle, the controller controls the motion mechanism 13 to cause the screen 11 to perform a farewell gesture. Examples of such welcoming or farewell gestures include causing the screen 11 to swing sideways or up and down.

[0071] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the controller is configured to control the screen 11 to play an interactive video when the screen 11 is deployed. It is envisioned that after a passenger boards the vehicle and takes a seat, the controller controls the screen 11 to play a welcome video, such as a virtual butler welcoming the passenger or announcing the time, date, air quality, and / or weather. Furthermore, when the passenger exits the vehicle, the controller controls the screen 11 to play a farewell video.

[0072] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the in-vehicle display system 1 includes an operating unit, by operating which the expanded viewing mode of the screen 11 or the retracted storage mode of the screen 11 can be selectively activated. After activating the expanded viewing mode, the motion mechanism 13 moves to the viewing position and the screen 11 moves out of the storage chamber 12 and becomes expanded, while after activating the retracted storage mode, the screen 11 becomes retracted and moves into the storage chamber 12 and the motion mechanism 13 moves to the retracted position. The operating unit may include a manual operating element and / or a voice-controlled operating element. The manual operating element is, for example, a button, while the voice-controlled operating element can, for example, respond to specific voice-controlled commands. It is also conceivable that after the passenger gets on the vehicle, the in-vehicle display system 1 automatically activates the expanded viewing mode of the screen 11, and after the passenger gets off the vehicle, the in-vehicle display system 1 automatically activates the retracted storage mode of the screen 11.

[0073] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the in-vehicle display system 1 includes a power supply unit for supplying power to the screen 11. The power supply unit may be integrated into the motion mechanism 13. The power supply unit is used, for example, to supply power to the screen 11 by wire and / or wirelessly. It is conceivable that: when the motion mechanism 13 is fixedly connected to the screen 11, the power supply unit is used to supply power to the screen 11 by wire; and when the motion mechanism 13 is detachably connected to the screen 11, the power supply unit is used to supply power to the screen 11 wirelessly.

[0074] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the in-vehicle display system 1 has a road condition display function. When the road condition display function is activated, the screen 11 displays the road conditions surrounding the vehicle. It is conceivable that the screen 11 displays a 360-degree panoramic view. It is also conceivable that the screen 11 is divided into four areas, each displaying the road conditions in the front, back, left, and right directions. The controller of the in-vehicle display system 1 obtains data from corresponding cameras on the vehicle and displays the road conditions surrounding the vehicle on the screen 11 accordingly.

[0075] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the vehicle-mounted display system 1 has a remote video conferencing function. For example, the vehicle-mounted display system 1 can realize remote video conferencing through the rear camera 17 and the vehicle's T-BOX.

[0076] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the screen 11 is configured as a touch screen equipped with an operating system, thereby enabling the screen 11 to be used as an in-vehicle smart device.

[0077] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the in-vehicle display system 1 can be connected to a passenger's mobile phone via the vehicle's T-BOX. This allows passengers to control various functions and / or components of the in-vehicle display system 1 via their mobile phones. For example, passengers can use their mobile phones to control the motion mechanism 13 to adjust the position of the screen 11 or change its configuration.

[0078] In this document, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined. For components whose number is not specified, the component is not limited to only one, but multiple identical or similar components may exist.

[0079] Although specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail herein, they are provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to limit the scope of the present application. Various replacements, changes, and modifications may be conceived without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
