TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of motor vehicles, in particular to a motorcycle. BACKGROUND
[0002] Traditional motorcycles generally only provide a display function of instrument information through an instrument panel. However, with the increasing demand for intelligent entertainment functions such as vehicle-mounted multimedia and navigation, motorcycles also begin to develop in the direction of intelligence.
[0003] The central control system configured with entertainment functions has appeared more and more frequently in various automobile brands. Compared with traditional automobiles, the automobile configured with entertainment functions generally integrates a central control display screen on the central control area between the main and auxiliary driving positions. The scheme in the prior art is generally easy to implement in an automobile because the cabin space of the automobile is large and it is relatively easy to arrange an instrument panel and a central control display screen at the same time, but it is relatively difficult to implement on a motorcycle, which is related to the small head space and low cost of the motorcycle.
[0004] At present, although there are some motorcycles supporting intelligent functions, most of these motorcycles supporting intelligent functions adopt a scheme in which instrument functions and entertainment functions are independent of each other, that is, two different display screens are used to realize instrument functions and entertainment functions respectively, and two independent control components are used to realize display control and function support of the two display screens respectively. Due to the space limitation of the motorcycle head area, it is difficult to arrange the instrument screen realizing instrument functions and the entertainment screen realizing entertainment functions, and thus it is difficult to make the instrument screen and the entertainment screen larger, which is not conducive to the user to view relevant information.
[0005] In view of how to meet the intelligent entertainment function demand of a motorcycle and provide a central control system more suitable for use of a motorcycle, the prior art has not yet proposed an effective solution. SUMMARY

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application is described and illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the application. The appearance of this phrase in various locations within the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

"A plurality" in this application means two or more. The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., used in this application are merely to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of objects.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a motorcycle 100 includes multiple components, specifically including: a frame 10, a suspension system 20, wheels 30, a power system 40, a seat 50, a control device 60, and a central control system 70, etc.
[0041] The motorcycle 100 can be divided into a front end and a rear end in a running direction. In order to clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, the front, the rear, the left, the right, the top and the bottom are defined as shown in the drawings. Figure 1 The wheels 30 include front wheels 31 and rear wheels 32. The suspension system 20 includes front suspensions 21 and rear suspensions 22. The front wheels 31 are connected to the frame 10 through the front suspensions 21, and the rear wheels 32 are connected to the frame 10 through the rear suspensions 22. The power system 40 is at least partially arranged on the frame 10, and is configured to provide power for the operation of the motorcycle 100. At least one of the front wheels 31 and the rear wheels 32 is drivingly connected to the power system 40. The seat 50 is arranged on the frame 10, and the seat 50 includes at least one driver seat 51. The control device 60 is configured to control the operation of the motorcycle 100. Optionally, all or part of the components in the control device 60 are electrically connected to the power system 40. The control device 60 includes a direction control component 61. As shown, the direction control component 61 is located above the front wheels 31 and in front of the driver seat 51, for example.
[0042] The central control system 70 includes a control component 71 and a display screen 72. The control component 71 is configured to control the display screen 72 to display an instrument image 750 and an entertainment image 780. Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 for further details. The control component 71 is specifically configured to control the display screen 72 to display the instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780 in at least two different and switchable display modes. Here, the at least two different and switchable display modes can include a first display mode and a second display mode. In the first display mode, the area of the instrument image 750 on the display screen 72 is greater than the area of the entertainment image 780 on the display screen 72. In the second display mode, the area of the instrument image 750 on the display screen 72 is less than or equal to the area of the entertainment image 780 on the display screen 72.
[0043] It can be understood that in the motorcycle 100 provided in the application, the central control system 70 can control the display screen 72 to display both the instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780, and the display screen 72 has the functions of an instrument screen and an entertainment screen; and at least two different display modes can be provided to the user through the display screen 72, and the display image is switched and adjusted in different display modes (corresponding to different needs of the user), thereby facilitating the user to view relevant information. Displaying the instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780 in different display modes overcomes the defects of single display screen of the prior art motorcycle, i.e., single display function and limited display area, expands the display function of the display screen, and expands the display area of the instrument display and the entertainment display. In this way, the space of the motorcycle 100 head area can be fully utilized to arrange the display screen 72. Although the display screen 72 displays both the instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780 in the first display mode and the second display mode, they are obviously different. The first display mode mainly displays instrument information, and in actual application, the first display mode can also be referred to as a "full instrument display mode". The second display mode mainly displays entertainment information, and in actual application, the second display mode can also be referred to as a "split screen display mode".
[0044] It is worth noting that the display screen 72 provided in the application applied to the motorcycle 100 is a whole and complete display screen, not a spliced screen, thereby fully utilizing the relatively compact space of the motorcycle 100 head area, and a whole large screen can be arranged. Compared with the related art, which arranges two relatively small spliced screens in the same space, the display screen is not limited by the display of two display screens. Specifically, in order to increase the arrangement of the entertainment display screen, the size of the instrument screen must be limited in the related art, so that the entertainment display screen and the instrument screen are difficult to be large, and the user can only view the instrument information and the entertainment information on two relatively small display screens, respectively. Assuming that the entertainment function is not used, the driver can only view the instrument information through the relatively small instrument screen, which is very unfavorable for the driver to quickly view the content displayed on the display screen during driving. The technical solution provided in the application can obviously solve this technical problem, thereby facilitating the driver to view relevant information. Moreover, a display screen can realize unified display style, and the driver has a better visual experience. In addition, using a display screen can save the cost of manufacturing the display screen.
[0045] The "user" referred to herein can refer to a driver, or a passenger or other personnel using the motorcycle central control system.
[0046] In fact, the difference between the first display mode and the second display mode is not only that, but also the specific working mode of the control assembly 71 and the control mode of the display screen 72 are completely different in different display modes. For example, at least two operating systems run on the control assembly 71; the control assembly 71 controls the display screen 72 to display the instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780 based on the at least two operating systems. The at least two operating systems include a first operating system and a second operating system, wherein the first operating system is used to receive instrument information in real time during the running of the motorcycle 100, and control the display screen 72 to display the instrument image 750 corresponding to the instrument information in real time, and the second operating system is used to run the entertainment function when receiving the control instruction, and control the display screen 72 to display the entertainment image 780 corresponding to the entertainment function. Since an entire interface needs to be displayed on the display screen 72 at the same time, the images generated by the two operating systems need to be fused and then provided to the display screen 72 for display.
[0047] In addition, the control assembly 71 capable of running at least two operating systems has an electronic architecture that is obviously different from the electronic architecture of the related art vehicle-mounted central control system. In the embodiment of the present application, two processing cores are used to run the at least two operating systems respectively. The central control system 70 can further provide a user with a more rich and convenient human-computer interaction mode, such as touch screen, voice control, remote interconnection control, etc. In order to enable the driver to quickly operate the key function items during driving, the central control control 64 (for example, "hard keys") can also be added to the motorcycle 100 control device 60, thereby improving the convenience of control.
[0048] Next, first, the types of motorcycles to which the embodiments of the present application can be applied and the arrangement of the display screen on the motorcycle will be specifically described and explained.
[0049] The motorcycle 100 mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be various types of motorcycles.
[0050] Based on the wheels of the motorcycle, the wheels 30 include front wheels 31 and rear wheels 32, which can be one of the following:
[0051] The wheels include only one front wheel and one rear wheel. It can be understood that the traditional models of motorcycles usually only include a front wheel and a rear wheel, such as street cars, sports cars, cruisers, travel cars, rally cars, off-road cars, slipper cars, pedal cars, and bent beam cars, etc.
[0052] The wheels include one front wheel and two rear wheels. The motorcycle equipped with such wheels is usually a kind of special motorcycle, for example, a three-wheeled motorcycle. Such motorcycles are mostly used as production tools, but some high-end imported brand motorcycles also adopt the form of a three-wheeled motorcycle.
[0053] The wheels include two front wheels and one rear wheel. Similarly, the motorcycle equipped with such wheels is also generally a special motorcycle, for example, a trike. Such motorcycles are less common, and the most well-known example is the Bombardier trike.
[0054] The wheels include one front wheel, one rear wheel and one side wheel. The motorcycle equipped with such wheels can be referred to as a sidecar, or colloquially as a "sidecar".
[0055] The wheels include two front wheels and two rear wheels, i.e., a four-wheeled motorcycle. Common four-wheeled motorcycles include ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles), UTVs (Utility Vehicles), SSVs (Side by Side Vehicles), etc., all of which can apply the technical solutions provided in the present application. It should be noted that there are various ways to classify ATVs and motorcycles at present. In some classification methods, ATVs and motorcycles are classified side by side, and ATVs are not considered to be general motorcycles. In other classification methods, ATVs are considered to be a special type of motorcycle, which mainly depends on whether the concept of a motorcycle is understood in a narrow or broad sense. In the embodiments of the present application, the motorcycle is mainly the latter classification method, i.e., the technical solutions of the present application can be applied to ATVs.
[0056] Based on the power system of the motorcycle, the motorcycle 100 mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be either a fuel motorcycle or an electric motorcycle. Corresponding to the motorcycle 100 being a fuel motorcycle, the above-mentioned power system 40 is a fuel power system; corresponding to the motorcycle 100 being an electric motorcycle, the above-mentioned power system 40 is an electric power system.
[0057] The display screen 72 is located directly in front of the driver's seat 51; of course, the present application does not exclude the display screen 72 being located in the side front of the driver's seat 51.
[0058] For the seat 50, at least one driver's seat 51 is included, and in addition, at least one passenger seat 52 can also be included. The driver's seat 51 and the passenger seat 52 can be arranged in the front-rear direction of the motorcycle 100, or can be arranged in the left-right direction of the motorcycle 100. The driver's seat 51 and the passenger seat 52 can be two independent seats arranged separately, or can be two regions on one seat. Corresponding to the case where the driver's seat 51 and the passenger seat 52 are two regions on one seat, the driver's seat 51 and the passenger seat 52 can also be referred to as a region for the driver to sit and a region for the passenger to sit, respectively.
[0059] A plane 110 is defined as a plane on which a median plane of the driver seat 51 is located. The driver seat 51 can be substantially symmetrical along the median plane, and the present application does not require the driver seat 51 to be symmetrical. The display screen 72 is at least partially located on the plane 110 and is located on a side close to the direction control assembly 61. It can be understood that the display screen 72 intersects the plane 110. In this way, the display screen 72 is arranged to be more matched to the field of view of the driver and is more convenient for the driver to view the image on the display screen 72. It can be understood that the plane 110 is also a plane on which a median plane of the direction control assembly 61 is located in a state in which the direction control assembly 61 is centrally positioned. Further, the motorcycle 100 can also be substantially symmetrical along the plane 110.
[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, the motorcycle 100 can be a motorcycle with a saddle type seat 50. For reference, please refer to Figure 1 The saddle type seat 50 (please refer to 50 in the figure) is arranged on the motorcycle frame 10. The saddle type seat 50 at least includes a driver seat 51. Optionally, the driver seat 51 can be a region on the saddle type seat 50 on which a driver can sit. Generally, the driver seat 51 is located on a front side of the saddle type seat 50, i.e., on a side close to the front wheel 11 and the direction control assembly 61. In addition, the saddle type seat 50 also includes a passenger seat 52. Correspondingly, the passenger seat 52 can be a region on the saddle type seat 50 on which a passenger can sit. The passenger seat 52 is located on a rear side of the saddle type seat 50, specifically, behind the driver seat 51. In this embodiment, the saddle type seat 50 extends along a front-rear direction, and the plane 110 is a plane on which a median plane of the saddle type seat 50 is located. The display screen 72 is located in front of the saddle type seat 50 and on a side close to the direction control assembly 61. The display screen 72 intersects the plane on which the median plane of the saddle type seat 50 is located.
[0061] It should be understood that the present application does not specifically limit the type of the seat 50, as long as the purpose of sitting is met.
[0062] The display screen 72 is arranged adjacent to the control device 60.
[0063] For the direction control assembly 61, in an embodiment of the present application, the direction control assembly 61 can be a handle assembly and specifically can include a left handle 611 and a right handle 612. In addition, the direction control assembly 61 also includes a handle connecting shaft 613 located between the left handle 611 and the right handle 612. The display screen 72 and the handle connecting shaft 613 are both at least partially located on the plane 110; the display screen 72 is specifically located at one of the following positions: on a side of the handle connecting shaft 613 away from the seat 50, on a side of the handle connecting shaft 613 close to the seat 50, above the handle connecting shaft 613. It should be understood that the present application does not specifically limit the structure and appearance of the direction control assembly 61, as long as the requirement of direction control is met. The present application does not exclude the case in which the direction control assembly 61 is a handlebar.
[0064] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 A rearview mirror 62 is also provided on the front side of the motorcycle 100. The size and position of the display screen 72 need to ensure that it does not interfere with the steering control component 61 and the rearview mirror 62 from the driver's perspective. In other words, the display screen 72 will not be obstructed or interfered with by the steering control component 61, the rearview mirror 62 or other structures on the motorcycle 100.
[0065] In addition, Figure 1 The motorcycle 100 shown may also be equipped with a front baffle 63, with the display screen 72 located behind the front baffle 63. In order to prevent sunlight from shining directly on the display screen 72 and causing the driver to be unable to see the displayed image on the display screen 72 clearly, the front baffle 63 may be made of a light-shielding material, that is, the front baffle 63 may specifically be a front sunshade.
[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the display screen 72 can be mounted on the frame 10, and the display screen 72 does not rotate with the rotation of the steering control component 61. When the steering control component 61 is specifically a handlebar component, the display screen 72 does not rotate with the rotation of the handlebar component. This prevents the inconvenience caused to the driver viewing the displayed content by rotating the display screen 72; even if the direction of travel of the motorcycle 100 changes, the driver can still easily view the displayed content on the display screen 72 in front of their field of vision. Furthermore, since the display screen 72 inevitably needs to increase in area or weight to meet the requirements of instrument display and entertainment display, the fact that the display screen 72 does not rotate with the rotation of the steering control component 61 helps to extend the service life of the display screen 72 and prevent damage to the display screen 72.
[0067] In some other embodiments of this application, the front suspension 21 includes a front fork 211 connected to the frame 10 via a shaft 212. The lower end of the front fork 211 is connected to the front wheel 31, and the upper end of the front fork 211 is connected to the steering control assembly 61. A display screen 72 is connected to the upper end of the front fork 211. The display screen 72 rotates with the rotation of the steering control assembly 61. This can also be considered a commonly used display screen arrangement.
[0068] As an optional implementation, the motorcycle 100 may include, and only includes, a display screen 72. All electronic images that need to be displayed to the user can be shown through the display screen 72; thus, the relatively compact space on the motorcycle 100 is further saved, and the cost of manufacturing the display screen 72 is also further reduced.
[0069] In consideration of the specific structural features of the motorcycle, in order to arrange a display screen with a more appropriate size, in the embodiment of the present application, the ratio of the diagonal size of the display screen 72 to the wheel center distance of the motorcycle 100 is 0.11 to 0.3, wherein the wheel center distance of the motorcycle 100 is the distance between the wheel center of the front wheel 31 and the wheel center of the rear wheel 32. Further, the ratio of the diagonal size of the display screen 72 to the wheel center distance of the motorcycle 100 can be 0.13 to 0.26. Still further, for example, 0.17 to 0.19 is selected.
[0070] Here, the diagonal size of the display screen 72 specifically refers to the diagonal size of the visible area of the display screen 72. The range expressed in the embodiment of the present application should be understood as including the endpoint values. For example, 0.11 to 0.3 means greater than or equal to 0.11 and less than or equal to 0.3.
[0071] In a specific application, for a motorcycle with a wheel center distance of 1.1 meters to 1.3 meters, a display screen of 8 inches is selected. For a motorcycle with a wheel center distance of 1.5 meters to 1.7 meters, a display screen of 12.3 inches can be selected.
[0072] The ratio of the diagonal size of the display screen 72 to the distance between the two farthest ends of the direction control assembly 61 is 0.19 to 0.52. It can be understood that, for the direction control assembly 61 including the left handle 611 and the right handle 612, the distance between the two farthest ends of the direction control assembly 61 refers to the distance between the farthest end of the left handle 611 (the end far away from the right handle 612) and the farthest end of the right handle 612 (the end far away from the left handle 611). Further, the ratio can be in the range of 0.23 to 0.45. Still further, the ratio of the diagonal size of the display screen 72 to the distance between the two farthest ends of the direction control assembly 61 is 0.29 to 0.35.
[0073] In addition, in order to facilitate the driver to view the information on the display screen 72 during driving, the present application proposes a suitable selection range for the inclination angle of the display screen 72. When the motorcycle 100 is parked on a horizontal plane with the front wheel 31 and the rear wheel 32 as support points, the inclination angle of the display screen 72 to the horizontal plane is 20° to 70°. Further, the inclination angle is, for example, 35° to 55°.
[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the display screen 72 can extend substantially along a first direction 101 perpendicular to the plane 110, or can extend substantially along a second direction 102 parallel to the plane 110. In actual application, the display screen 72 can be a display screen for landscape display, or can be a display screen for portrait display. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the display screen 72 can be a display screen for landscape display, or can be a display screen for portrait display. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the motorcycle 100 is provided with a display screen 72 in landscape mode. The display screen 72 extends substantially along a first direction 101, for example, a left-right direction of the motorcycle 100. An image displayed on the display screen 72 is displayed in a second direction 102 perpendicular to the first direction 101. As another implementation, the display screen 72 is in portrait mode. The display screen 72 extends substantially along the second direction 102, and an image displayed on the display screen 72 is displayed in the second direction 102. A short side of the display screen 72 is parallel to the first direction 101. Whether the display screen 72 is in landscape mode or in portrait mode depends on the specific type of the motorcycle 100, in particular, the structure and size of the head region of the motorcycle 100. In addition, it can also depend on user preferences and design requirements. In the above, the left-right direction is defined when a user is seated on the motorcycle 100.
[0075] Figure 3 Fig. 3 is a partial perspective view of a motorcycle according to another embodiment of the present application, which specifically shows a solution in which the display screen 72 is in portrait mode on the motorcycle 100. It should be understood that in some specific application scenarios, the display screen in portrait mode has advantages different from the display screen in landscape mode. For example, for some motorcycle models, due to the narrow and long structure of the head region, if a display screen in landscape mode is mounted, only a relatively small display screen can be mounted, or a relatively large display screen is mounted but is easily damaged because it is too large to be protected by the frame. For example, in order to display some specific user interfaces, portrait mode can have better performance.
[0076] In addition, the display screen 72 in the embodiments of the present application can also be a rotatable display screen. The display screen 72 is connected to the frame 10 or the front suspension 21 (specifically, the front fork 211) of the motorcycle 100, and the display screen 72 can rotate relative to the frame 10 or the front suspension 21. As a specific implementation, the motorcycle 100 further includes a connecting structure 90, and the display screen 72 is connected to the frame 10 or the front suspension 21 through the connecting structure 90. The display screen 72 can rotate around the connecting structure 90. The control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to rotate based on at least one of the following: for example, gravity sensing, control signals, etc. The rotation of the image displayed on the display screen 72 is specifically the rotation of the image relative to the display screen 72. In order to facilitate the user to view the relevant information and reasonably utilize the display area of the display screen, when the display screen 72 rotates, the display interface of the display screen 72 can be adjusted by the control component 71. Specifically, please refer to Figure 8In the first display mode, the control component 71 is specifically configured to control the display interface of the display screen 72 to undergo a first type of adjustment when the display screen 72 is rotated, and the first type of adjustment includes switching the arrangement mode of the first part and the second part of the instrument image 750 between left-right arrangement and up-down arrangement. Referring to regions 721 and 722 in the figure, the first part and the second part of the instrument image 750 can be displayed in the regions 721 and 722, respectively. As can be seen, in the first display mode, the layout of the display interface is mainly adjusted by adjusting the positional relationship of the parts of the instrument image 750. Please refer to Figure 9 In the second display mode, the control component 71 is specifically configured to control the display interface of the display screen 72 to undergo a second type of adjustment when the display screen 72 is rotated, and the second type of adjustment includes switching the arrangement mode of at least one part of the instrument image 750 and at least one part of the entertainment image 780 between left-right arrangement and up-down arrangement. Referring to regions 726 and 728 in the figure, at least one part of the instrument image 750 and at least one part of the entertainment image 780 can be displayed in the regions 726 and 728, respectively. As can be seen, unlike the first display mode, in the second display mode, the layout of the display interface needs to be adjusted by adjusting the positional relationship between at least one part of the instrument image 750 and at least one part of the entertainment image 780.
[0077] The display screen 72 can be rotated between extending substantially along the first direction 101 and extending substantially along the second direction 102. In combination with Figure 8 and Figure 9 Taking the case that the display screen 72 is rotated from extending substantially along the first direction 101 to extending substantially along the second direction 102 as an example. At this time, in the first display mode, the first type of adjustment specifically includes switching the arrangement mode of the first part and the second part of the instrument image 750 from left-right arrangement to up-down arrangement. In the second display mode, the second type of adjustment specifically includes switching the arrangement mode of at least one part of the instrument image 750 and at least one part of the entertainment image 780 between left-right arrangement and up-down arrangement. Conversely, the same also applies, which will not be described here in detail.
[0078] The display screen 72 can be installed on the motorcycle 100 in a flush manner or in a protruding manner. The flush manner specifically refers to that the back of the packaging shell of the display screen 72 is flushly installed in the motorcycle 100 and is not exposed. The protruding manner specifically refers to that the back of the packaging shell of the display screen 72 is at least partially exposed and is connected to the motorcycle 100 only through part of the back or through at least part of the lower part. The arrangement of the display screen 72 is related to the model of the motorcycle 100, and the arrangement manner of the display screen is different for different motorcycles, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.
[0079] In addition, the various improved concepts provided in the present application can also be applicable to other driving devices other than motorcycles. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements made without departing from the concepts of the present application shall be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0080] In the following, the above-mentioned central control system 70 will be further described in detail.
[0081] It can be understood that the above-mentioned central control system 70 can be installed on the motorcycle 100, and exist in the form that the motorcycle 100 is as a whole, and the central control system 70 is as a part of the motorcycle 100; or exist in the form that it is independent of the motorcycle 100 body, and is to be installed.
[0082] As described above, the central control system 70 includes the control component 71 and the display screen 72. As an implementation manner, the control component 71 and the display screen 72 can be encapsulated together through an encapsulation shell to form an all-in-one screen, so that the all-in-one screen is electrically connected with the power system 40 on the motorcycle 100 through a conductive structure such as a wire, and is mechanically connected with the frame 10 or the front fork 211 of the motorcycle 100 through the connecting structure 90. It can be understood that the connecting structure 90 is, for example, a mechanical connecting structure such as a fastener or a connector. The above-mentioned conductive structure and the above-mentioned mechanical connecting structure can also be integrated together, so that the central control system 70 and the frame 10 or the front fork 211 of the motorcycle 100 can be installed through only one connection. In this implementation manner, the arrangement position of the central control system 70 can refer to the arrangement position of the display screen 72 described above. As another implementation manner, the control component 71 and the display screen 72 can also be respectively arranged on the motorcycle 100, that is, the display screen 72 is at least partially located on the plane 110, and the arrangement position of the control component 71 is not limited thereto, and the control component 71 can be arranged at any position on the motorcycle 100. It should be noted that no matter which implementation manner is adopted, the control component 71 and the display screen 72 need to be electrically connected to ensure that the control component 71 controls the display of the display screen 72.
[0083] The control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to display the instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780. Here, the instrument image 750 specifically refers to an image at least used to represent motorcycle driving information and motorcycle state information. The instrument image 750 can facilitate the user to view the motorcycle driving information and the motorcycle state information at any time, and ensure the basic driving experience of the user. The entertainment image 780 specifically refers to an image at least used to represent an entertainment function being run and / or an entertainment function capable of being run. The entertainment function includes at least one of the following: a navigation function, a multimedia function, an auxiliary driving function, a voice control function, and an interconnection function.
[0084] The instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780 can be composed of one or more of a character image, a number image, and a shape image.
[0085] For example, the instrument character image and the instrument number image can jointly represent the motorcycle running information, such as the instrument character image being "km / h" (a unit of measurement) and the instrument number image being "120", which jointly represent the motorcycle running information "120 km / h (motorcycle running speed). The instrument character image being "GEAR" (gear) and the instrument number image being "4" jointly represent the motorcycle running information "4 gears". For another example, the instrument character image, the instrument number image, and the instrument shape image can jointly represent the motorcycle running information, such as a circular image representing a dial, a number image on the dial representing a scale, an instrument character image representing a unit of the scale, and a pointer pattern pointing to a specific scale to indicate a current scale value. For another example, the instrument shape image can represent the motorcycle state information, such as an icon of a "headlight indicator" being composed of the instrument shape image. Similarly, an icon of a "battery indicator", an icon of an "oil indicator", an icon of a "front fog lamp indicator", an icon of a "water temperature alarm lamp", an icon of a "temperature too low display (snowflake)", and the like can also be composed.
[0086] For another example, in the multimedia function, the entertainment character image can represent a file name, a play mode, a lyric, or a subtitle, the entertainment number image can represent a play duration, the entertainment shape image can represent a musical note or a radio, and the entertainment picture can be any picture displayed to a user. In addition, the entertainment shape image can also compose the entertainment function state icon 784 or the entertainment shortcut icon 781.
[0087] Next, the first display mode and the second display mode will be described in detail.
[0088] First, for the first display mode, in order to distinguish from the instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780 displayed in the second display mode, a first instrument image is used to refer to the instrument image 750 displayed on the display screen 72 in the first display mode, and the description and limitation of the instrument image 750 in the embodiments of the present application are applicable to the first instrument image unless otherwise specified. Similarly, a first entertainment image is used to refer to the entertainment image 780 displayed on the display screen 72 in the first display mode, and the description and limitation of the entertainment image 780 are also applicable to the first entertainment image unless otherwise specified.
[0089] Figure 4 A display interface of the display screen in the first display mode in the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 7A. Figure 6 A spatial arrangement diagram of each display region in the first display mode in the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 7B. As shown in FIG. 7B, the first display mode includes a first display region 710, a second display region 720, and a third display region 730.Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 7, in the first display mode, the display interface of the display screen 72 can include a first instrument display area, a first entertainment display area, and a switchable display area.
[0090] Figure 6 As shown in the left and right areas 721 and 722 of the display interface of the display screen, the first instrument display area displays at least a part of the first instrument image. Specifically, the first instrument display area displays necessary instrument images, such as the vehicle speed of 120 km / h, the 4th gear, etc. It can be understood that these necessary instrument images are the instrument information that must be provided to the driver during the driving of the motorcycle 100.
[0091] Figure 6 The central area 723 at the bottom of FIG. 7 shows the first entertainment display area. The first entertainment display area displays at least a part of the first entertainment image. For example, it displays the entertainment shortcut icon 781. The entertainment shortcut icon 781 is used to prompt the user that the central control system 70 can provide entertainment functions, and the user can select. Optionally, when the control component 71 detects a control instruction for these entertainment shortcut icons 781, the display screen 72 is switched from the first display mode to the second display mode. Here, the entertainment shortcut icon 781, for example, the shortcut icons of the navigation function, the multimedia function, the voice control function, and the Internet function, can also include icons such as settings, the main HOME, etc. The user can touch the shortcut icon to make the display screen 72 display the corresponding specific interface. Figure 4 For example, the musical note icon is used to prompt the user that the music playing interface can be entered by controlling the musical note icon. In a specific embodiment, in the first display mode, the display screen 72 at least includes the main HOME icon, and after the user touches the main HOME icon, the display screen 72 is switched from the first display mode to the second display mode, and more shortcut icons of the entertainment functions can be displayed in the second display mode for the user to select.
[0092] Figure 6The middle area 724 of the display interface shown also shows a switchable display area. The switchable display area is used to display a part of the first instrument image and / or a part of the first entertainment image. In the case where the switchable display area is used to display a part of the first instrument image, the display content thereof is specifically an instrument image 750 which can be hidden or displayed, and which can be referred to as a non-essential instrument image relative to essential instrument images, and which is displayed on the display screen 72 when the driver needs to view it. For example, fuel consumption of 23 L / 100 km, etc. In the case where the switchable display area is used to display a part of the first entertainment image, the display content thereof is specifically a simple entertainment image 782. The simple entertainment image 782 is specifically an essential entertainment image which is displayed in a simple manner to save display area relative to a complete entertainment image 785. For example, for the navigation function, only the text image of "north", the numerical image of "39 meters", and the icon image of "navigation arrow" are displayed, and no complete map is displayed. The text image of "north", the numerical image of "39 meters", and the icon image of "navigation arrow" together constitute the simple navigation information of "motorcycle travels northward, and will turn right after 39 meters". For example, for the multimedia playing function, only part of the text information is displayed, such as part of the lyrics.
[0093] The control component 71 is configured to control the above-mentioned switchable display area of the display screen 72 to switch from the first display screen to the second display screen when the control command is received by the central control system 70. Here, the first display screen can be the above-mentioned screen used to display a part of the first instrument image, and the second display screen can be the above-mentioned screen used to display a part of the first entertainment image. In addition, the present application does not exclude the case where the first display screen and the second display screen are both screens used to display a part of the first instrument image or both screens used to display a part of the first entertainment image, and the first display screen and the second display screen display different instrument images 750 or different entertainment images 780.
[0094] The above-mentioned control command received by the central control system 70 and used to indicate that the switchable display area switches from the first display screen to the second display screen (for the sake of distinction, it can be referred to as the first control command) can include one of the following: a control command received based on the display screen 72 receiving a sliding touch operation on the switchable display area, a control command received based on the display screen 72 receiving a touch operation on the key icon 783 on the display screen (for example, the left and right page turning keys on the display screen are touched; in order to distinguish from the control components in the control device 60, the key icon 783 on the display screen can also be referred to as a "soft key"), a control command received through a control component in the control device 60, and a voice control command. The control component in the control device 60 is specifically a hard key in the control device 60.
[0095] It should be understood that the switchable display area described above is not a necessary area in the display interface in the first display mode. In some alternative embodiments, the display interface of the display screen 72 can not include the switchable display area in the first display mode, i.e., the display interface of the display screen 72 includes the first instrument display area and the first entertainment display area.
[0096] In the first display mode, the display interface of the display screen 72 can further include a status display area, for example Figure 6 The top area 725 of the display interface of the display screen. The status display area can also be used to display at least part of the first instrument image, but is particularly used to display images in the first instrument image that represent motorcycle status information. Among them, the images that represent motorcycle status information can be motorcycle status icons 751, such as headlight indicator icon, battery indicator icon, oil indicator icon, front fog lamp indicator icon, water temperature alarm lamp icon, temperature too low display icon, etc. Taking the headlight indicator icon as an example, when the icon is on, it represents that the "headlight indicator" is in the on state, and when the icon is off, it represents that the "headlight indicator" is in the off state. For example, the low fuel level indicator, when the icon is on, it represents that the fuel level is below the required value, and when the icon is off, it represents that the fuel level is above the required value. At least part of these motorcycle status icons 751 also belong to the necessary instrument image, and if the display interface does not include the status display area, the motorcycle status icons 751 that belong to the necessary instrument image can also be displayed in the first instrument display area. In addition, the status display area can also be used to display at least part of the first entertainment image, but is particularly used to display the entertainment function status icon 784, which is used to prompt the user of the current state of the entertainment function that the central control system can provide. Specifically, prompt the user that the entertainment function that the central control system can provide is currently in which state, such as the on state or the off state, the connected state or the unconnected state, etc. For example, the "Bluetooth helmet icon" and the like, when the icon is on, it represents that the Bluetooth headset is connected, and when the icon is off, it represents that the Bluetooth headset is not connected. As can be seen, the images (specifically icons) in the status display area switch between the first state and the second state when receiving a control instruction, where the first state and the second state are, for example, on and off, respectively.
[0097] In addition to the entertainment shortcut icon 781 and the entertainment function status icon 784, a special type of entertainment image can be displayed on the display screen 72, which is referred to as a first type of entertainment icon. The first type of entertainment icon includes, for example, a "Bluetooth connection icon", a "phone icon", etc., which has the functions of switching and displaying the status. When the user wants to turn on the Bluetooth function, the "Bluetooth connection icon" on the display screen 72 can be clicked, and the "Bluetooth connection icon" will be switched from the off state to the on state, thereby facilitating the user to use the related function. In addition, the "phone icon" can represent the function status information, and also has the function of the entertainment shortcut icon 781. When the "phone icon" is on, it means that there is an incoming call or a telephone call is being played, and the user can answer the call or hang up the call by touching the "phone icon". The first type of entertainment icon can be displayed in the first entertainment display area, the switchable display area, the status display area, or any other suitable area.
[0098] It should be noted that the above only describes the specific display interface shown in Figure 4 The above description of the image displayed in the first display mode does not limit the display interface of the display screen in the first display mode.
[0099] For example, the simple entertainment image 782, the entertainment shortcut icon 781, and the entertainment function status icon 784 can be displayed in the same area, or can be displayed in different areas. In order to facilitate the discussion, the display screen 72 in the first display mode is divided into different display areas in the embodiment, and in actual applications, the division can not be limited to such obvious division. It is also possible to regard the position occupied by an image representing complete information as a display area.
[0100] As an optional mode, the first entertainment image includes and only includes the entertainment shortcut icon 781. In other words, in the first display mode, only the user is prompted that the central control system can provide entertainment functions, and specific information related to the entertainment function is not displayed.
[0101] As another optional mode, the first entertainment image includes the entertainment shortcut icon 781, and the entertainment function status icon 784 and / or the simple entertainment image 782.
[0102] In the first display mode, the ratio of the area occupied by the first instrument image on the display screen 72 to the area occupied by the first entertainment image on the display screen 72 can be 3 to 20. Further, the ratio range of the two can be 6 to 15. Still further, the ratio of the area occupied by the first instrument image on the display screen to the area occupied by the first entertainment image on the display screen can be 8 to 12. In this way, the above-mentioned central control system 70 can display the instrument image 750 in a nearly full-screen manner on the display screen 72 when the user does not need to use the entertainment function, so that the user can more conveniently view the instrument information. At the same time, although the area occupied by the first entertainment image on the display screen 72 is relatively small, it can also be clearly shown.
[0103] When the user needs to use the entertainment function, the first display mode can be switched to the second display mode, so as to reduce the instrument image 750 on the display screen 72 and / or hide part of the instrument image 750, and display the entertainment image 780 by using the saved part of the area. In this way, one display screen adjusts the display content and the area it occupies in different display modes.
[0104] Next, the second display mode will be described in detail. In order to distinguish from the instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780 displayed in the first display mode, the second instrument image is used to refer to the instrument image 750 displayed on the display screen 72 in the second display mode, and the description and limitation of the instrument image 750 in the embodiments of the present application are applicable to the second instrument image unless otherwise specified. Similarly, the second entertainment image is used to refer to the entertainment image 780 displayed on the display screen 72 in the second display mode, and the description and limitation of the entertainment image 780 are also applicable to the second entertainment image unless otherwise specified.
[0105] Figure 5 The display interface of the display screen in the second display mode of the embodiments of the present application is shown in the following figure. Figure 7 The spatial arrangement of each display area in the second display mode of the embodiments of the present application is shown in the following figure. Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown in the above two figures, in the second display mode, the display interface of the display screen 72 can include a second instrument display area and a second entertainment display area.
[0106] The second instrument display area, for example Figure 7The left region 726 in the display interface of the display screen shown. The second instrument display region is used to display second instrument images. Specifically, the second instrument display region displays at least necessary instrument images, so as to continuously provide the user with instrument information that must be viewed during the travel of the motorcycle 100 in the second display mode. In addition, the second instrument display region can also display non-necessary instrument images, which are not limited in the present application. The left region 726 can display images representing motorcycle travel information, for example, in the form of a circular instrument.
[0107] The second entertainment display region, for example Figure 7 The right middle region 728 and the right bottom region 729 in the display interface of the display screen shown. The second entertainment display region is used to display second entertainment images. Specifically, the second entertainment images can include complete entertainment images 785. Of course, the present application does not exclude the case where the second entertainment images include simple entertainment images 782. The complete entertainment images 785 or the simple entertainment images 782 are displayed, for example, in the right middle region 728. While the right bottom region 729 displays, for example, entertainment shortcut icons 781. Specifically, reference can be made to the displayed entertainment shortcut icons 781 in the first display mode, which will not be described here again. Of course, the displayed entertainment shortcut icons 781 in the second display mode can be the same as or different from the displayed entertainment shortcut icons 781 in the first display mode. When the displayed entertainment shortcut icons 781 in the second display mode are different from the displayed entertainment shortcut icons 781 in the first display mode, the number of the displayed entertainment shortcut icons 781 in the second display mode can be greater than or equal to the number of the displayed entertainment shortcut icons 781 in the first display mode.
[0108] In the second display mode, the number of instrument images 750 displayed by the display screen 72 can be less than the number of instrument images 750 displayed by the display screen 72 in the first display mode. In this way, by hiding part of the instrument images 750, the entertainment images 780 are displayed in the saved part of the region. In order to ensure safe driving, even in the second display mode, necessary instrument images still need to be displayed on the display screen 72, so that in the second display mode, the instrument images 750 displayed by the display screen 72 are the same as part of the instrument images 750 displayed by the display screen 72 in the first display mode.
[0109] In the second display mode, the number of entertainment images 780 displayed by the display screen 72 can be greater than the number of entertainment images 780 displayed by the display screen 72 in the first display mode. In this way, the second display mode provides the user with more convenient-to-view and more complete and rich entertainment information.
[0110] Optionally, the entertainment images 780 corresponding to each entertainment function can be switched in the second entertainment display area, or the second entertainment display area can be further divided into areas for display. In addition, they can be displayed in the form of thumbnails, negative screens, floating windows, etc.
[0111] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram illustrating another type of information displayed on the screen in the second display mode according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 As shown, the second entertainment display area displays images related to vehicle information, such as "Remaining maintenance mileage 368km", "Average fuel consumption (L / 100km): 16.5", and "Average speed (km / h): 80". Although these images are related to vehicle information, they are supported by the entertainment function and specifically generated by the aforementioned second operating system, which is different from the instrument panel images generated by the first operating system. Furthermore, to allow users to quickly view the aforementioned images related to vehicle information, these images can be displayed on the negative screen 791 of the display screen 72. The negative screen 791 can be similar to the negative screen on a mobile phone, also known as the negative one screen. To allow multiple vehicle information-related images to be displayed on the negative screen 791, there can be one or multiple negative screens 791. The negative screen 791 can be activated via touch, controls, or voice control. When the negative screen 791 is activated via touch, it can be achieved by receiving a top-to-bottom (but not excluded, bottom-to-top) swipe operation on the display screen 72. When multiple negative screens 791 are included, a first negative screen and a second negative screen are used here for distinction. The switching between the first and second negative screens can be initiated after the negative screen 791 is brought up, based on a left-to-right or right-to-left swipe operation received on the display screen 72. Please refer again. Figure 10 , Figure 10 The negative screen 791 shown includes a "pin" icon, which is actually a touch-operated soft button. Touching this "pin" soft button can keep the current negative screen 791 on the display screen 72 for a preset time.
[0112] Furthermore, in the second display mode, the display interface of the display screen 72 may also include a status display area, for example... Figure 7 The top area 727 is used to display the motorcycle status icon 751, and also the entertainment function status icon 784. Alternatively, as another optional implementation, the motorcycle status icon 751 can also be displayed in the second instrument display area. The entertainment function status icon 784 can also be displayed in the second entertainment display area.
[0113] It should also be noted that the above is only a combination of... Figure 5 The specific display interface shown describes the image displayed in the second display mode, but it does not constitute a limitation on the display interface of the display screen 72 in the second display mode.
[0114] Based on the detailed description of the first and second display modes above, it can be concluded that in this embodiment, the control component 71 can be used to control at least one first area 731 on the display screen 72 to display an instrument image 750 in the first display mode and an entertainment image 780 in the second display mode. The aforementioned first area 731 is a portion of the area occupied by the first instrument image on the display screen 72, and specifically the portion where the entertainment image 780 is displayed in the second display mode. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Taking the displayed interface as an example, the first area 731 can be the right-center area on the display screen 72. Figure 6 Zhong 722 and Figure 7 (The area that overlaps between 728 and the middle).
[0115] Specifically, the first area 731 is a portion of the display area of the display screen 72.
[0116] More specifically, in the first display mode, to inform the user that the central control system 70 can provide entertainment functions (i.e., the aforementioned entertainment functions that can be supported), the display screen 72 may also include at least one third area 733. The control component 71 is also used to control at least one third area 733 on the display screen 72 to display an entertainment image 780 in the first display mode. In practical applications, the entertainment image 780 displayed in the third area 733 may specifically be an entertainment shortcut icon 781. It should be understood that the third area 733 is the area on the display screen 72 other than the first area 731. In addition, the entertainment image 780 may also include an entertainment function status icon 784, a simplified entertainment image 782, etc.
[0117] Accordingly, in the second display mode, in order to continuously provide instrument information to the user, the control component 71 can also be used to control at least one second area 732 on the display screen 72 to display the instrument image 780 in the second display mode. Here, the second area 732 still refers to any area on the display screen 72 other than the first area 731, and can be the same area or a different area as the third area 733 mentioned in the first display mode. It is easy to understand that, in order to ensure driving safety, the control component 71 is specifically used to control the display screen 72 to display the instrument image 750 in any display mode, including the first display mode and the second display mode.
[0118] Therefore, in the motorcycle 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the central control system 70 can control the same region (at least the first region 731) on the display screen 72 to display the instrument image 750 or the entertainment image 780 in different display modes, without being limited by the space restriction caused by the fact that the instrument screen and the entertainment screen respectively display corresponding images.
[0119] For the started central control system 70, the display screen 72 can work in the first display mode or the second display mode, and the first display mode and the second display mode can be switched. The specific position of any image displayed in the first display mode or the second display mode can be defined by the system in advance, and the relevant image can be placed in the relevant coordinate system during specific display.
[0120] As an optional embodiment, after the central control system 70 is started, the control component 71 is configured to control the display screen 72 to display images in the first display mode first and then display images in the second display mode. It can be understood that after the central control system 70 is started, the first display mode is entered first, so as to provide more complete and larger interface instrument information for the user. Then, according to the user's demand or default use habit, the first display mode is switched to the second display mode, so as to provide entertainment information.
[0121] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not exclude the case that after the central control system 70 is started, the display screen 72 first displays a startup picture, and if there is a startup picture, the first display mode is entered after the startup picture, and then the second display mode is entered. In other words, after the central control system 70 is started, the first display mode is entered first compared with the second display mode.
[0122] The way in which the first display mode is switched to the second display mode can include that the central control system 70 is automatically started by the second operating system after being started, the preset instruction in the control component 71 is switched, the control component 71 detects a control instruction for the entertainment shortcut icon 781 in the display interface of the display screen in the first display mode, or the control component 71 detects a display mode switching instruction and switches.
[0123] The automatic switching of the second operating system after the central control system 70 starts means that after the central control system 70 starts, the display screen 72 displays an image in the first display mode. After the second operating system meets predetermined conditions, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to switch from the first display mode to the second display mode. Preset conditions include, for example, the second operating system completing startup, or the second operating system having been running for a preset duration. Switching is based on preset instructions in the control component 71. These preset instructions can be instructions generated based on user settings, or instructions automatically generated and saved by the control component 71 based on user habits. Based on these preset instructions, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to switch from the first display mode to the second display mode. Control component 71 detecting control instructions for entertainment shortcut icons 781 on the display interface in the first display mode includes: the control component 71 detecting a touch operation on a specific entertainment shortcut icon, the control component 71 detecting selection of a specific entertainment shortcut icon based on a control, the control component 71 detecting voice control of a specific entertainment shortcut icon, etc., and then the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to switch from the first display mode to the second display mode. Optionally, for driving safety, the touch function of display screen 72 is locked while the motorcycle is in motion. Users can switch display modes via voice control or the control panel. The touch function is unlocked again after the motorcycle stops. The display mode is switched upon detecting a switching command, which may include, for example, a long press on the control panel or voice control regarding switching display modes.
[0124] The methods for switching from the second display mode to the first display mode may include: switching based on the running state of the second operating system, switching based on a preset instruction in the control component 71, or switching when the control component 71 detects a display mode switching instruction.
[0125] Switching based on the operating status of the second operating system includes, for example, when the entertainment functions provided by the second operating system end, such as navigation ending, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to switch from the second display mode to the first display mode. Switching based on preset commands in the control component 71 is similar to switching from the first display mode to the second display mode; preset commands are generated based on user settings or usage habits, and the display screen 72 is controlled to switch from the second display mode to the first display mode based on these preset commands. Switching upon detecting a display mode switching command is also similar to switching from the first display mode to the second display mode. These display mode switching commands include, for example, a long press on a control element or voice control regarding switching display modes.
[0126] It can be seen that in the display modes including the first display mode and the second display mode, the display screen 72 can display the instrument image 750 corresponding to the instrument information and the entertainment image 780 corresponding to the entertainment function. The generation of the instrument image 750 and the provision of the entertainment function need to rely on the support of the control component 71.
[0127] In the embodiment of the application, at least two operating systems can be run on the control component 71, for example, at least a first operating system and a second operating system. The control component specifically controls the display screen 72 to display the instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780 based on the at least two operating systems.
[0128] The first operating system is used to receive the instrument information in real time during the running of the motorcycle 100 and control the display screen 72 to display the instrument image 750 corresponding to the instrument information in real time. For example, the first instrument image displayed on the display screen 72 in the first display mode and the second instrument image displayed on the display screen 72 in the second display mode.
[0129] Since the display screen 72 needs to display the instrument image 750 in real time, the first operating system is always kept running during the running of the motorcycle 100. After the central control system 70 is started, the first operating system is automatically started and runs. Moreover, the first operating system is started and runs no later than the second operating system. In a specific application, the first operating system is started and runs earlier than the second operating system.
[0130] The first operating system includes, for example, an RTOS system, a QNX system or a Linux system. The RTOS system can specifically adopt a FreeRTOS system (a small real-time operating system).
[0131] The second operating system is used to run the entertainment function when the control instruction is received and control the display screen 72 to display the entertainment image 780 corresponding to the entertainment function. For example, the second entertainment image displayed on the display screen 72 in the second display mode is generated and displayed based on the control of the second operating system.
[0132] After the central control system 70 is started, the second operating system can also be automatically started and run. The time length required for the second operating system to be started and run is generally greater than the time length required for the first operating system to be started and run.
[0133] The second operating system includes, for example, an Android system or a Linux system. In addition, other smart operating systems that can be applied to the mobile terminal 200 can also be adopted.
[0134] The first operating system and the second operating system are two different operating systems from each other. In other words, at least two different operating systems from each other are running on the control component 71. For example, the first operating system adopts a Linux system, and the second operating system does not adopt a Linux system.
[0135] Since an entire interface needs to be displayed on the display screen 72 at the same time, the images generated by the operating systems need to be fused and then provided to the display screen 72 for display. In the following, how the display interface on the display screen 72 is formed in the first display mode and the second display mode will be described respectively.
[0136] In the first display mode, the first instrument image is generated under the control of the first operating system. Specifically, the first operating system obtains the first instrument image based on the received instrument information. The instrument information is embodied in the control component 71 in the form of data, for example, and can also be referred to as "instrument data". The instrument information is specifically information related to the body of the motorcycle 100, which is also sometimes referred to as "body information". The generated first instrument image is located on at least one layer.
[0137] The first entertainment image is also generated under the control of the first operating system. Specifically, the first operating system obtains the first entertainment image based on entertainment data. Here, the entertainment data can be provided by the second operating system. In actual applications, a part of the entertainment data, for example, the entertainment data required for generating the simple entertainment image 782, can be provided by the second operating system in real time. Another part of the entertainment data, for example, the entertainment data required for generating the entertainment shortcut icon 781, can be pre-stored in the storage space of the control component 71, without being provided by the second operating system in real time, since it does not change frequently. In this way, after the central control system 70 is started, the first display interface in the first display mode can be generated based on the first operating system. The simple entertainment image 782 can not be included in the first display interface, so that all the images can be generated based on the entertainment data without being provided by the second operating system in real time, in other words, the first display interface can be displayed without waiting for the second operating system to run. For the entertainment function status icon 784, since the entertainment function is not started before the second operating system runs, the entertainment function status icon 784 can be in an off state, and the first operating system can obtain the entertainment function status icon 784 based on the pre-stored entertainment data. After the second operating system runs, the first operating system controls the generation of the entertainment function status icon 784 in a changed state based on the real-time entertainment data provided by the second operating system. The generated first entertainment image is located on at least one layer. For ease of description, the layer on which the first instrument image is located is referred to as a first layer, and the layer on which the first entertainment image is located is referred to as a second layer. As can be seen, the first layer and the second layer are both generated under the control of the first operating system. Here, the first layer and the second layer can each refer to one or more layers.
[0138] As can be seen, in the first display mode, the instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780 are both generated under the control of the first operating system. As an optional implementation, in the first display mode, all the images displayed on the display screen 72 can be generated under the control of the first operating system.
[0139] The first instrument image and the first entertainment image can be formed in a graphical rendering manner.
[0140] The first layer and the second layer are fused to form a first display interface, and the first display interface is a display interface in the first display mode. The layer fusion of the first layer and the second layer is completed under the control of the first operating system.
[0141] In order to ensure that each image in the first display interface can be clearly provided to the user for viewing, the images in the first layer and the images in the second layer do not block each other. For example, the images in the first layer occupy a part of the interface, and the interface includes a blank area in addition to the occupied part. The images in the second layer are arranged in the blank area of the interface. Thus, through the up-down superposition of the first layer and the second layer, the images in the first layer and the second layer are respectively displayed in each area of the first display interface. It should be understood that if the images are superposed up-down for the purpose of generating a special screen effect, it does not belong to the case that the images block each other.
[0142] Further, under the control of the first operating system, the first display interface is sent to the display screen 72 for display.
[0143] In the second display mode, at least part of the instrument images 750 and the entertainment images 780 are generated under the control of the first operating system, and at least another part of the instrument images 750 and the entertainment images 780 are generated under the control of the second operating system.
[0144] As a specific embodiment, the second instrument images are generated under the control of the first operating system. Similarly to the first display mode, the first operating system obtains the second instrument images based on the received instrument information. For the purpose of distinction, the layer in which the second instrument images are located is referred to as layer 1. The layer 1 can refer to one layer or a plurality of layers.
[0145] At least part of the second entertainment images are generated under the control of the second operating system. The part of the second entertainment images generated under the control of the second operating system includes the complete entertainment image 785, and can also include the simple entertainment image 782, Figure 7 All the images in the middle right central area 728 can be generated under the control of the second operating system. In an optional embodiment, part of the second entertainment images can be generated under the control of the first operating system, for example, the entertainment function status icon 784. Figure 7 The middle top area 727 includes both the motorcycle status icon 751 and the entertainment function status icon 784, and all the images in the top area 727 can be generated under the control of the first operating system. This part of images is referred to as layer 3. In addition, for the entertainment shortcut icon 781, refer to Figure 7In some embodiments, the bottom right region 729 can be generated under the control of a first operating system. In other embodiments, the entertainment shortcut icon 781 can be generated under the control of a second operating system; no specific limitation is made here. Multiple layers can be generated under the control of the second operating system. The second operating system can provide all the generated layers to the first operating system, or it can provide the first operating system with a single layer after layer merging. Specifically, providing a single layer to the first operating system could be achieved by merging the generated multiple layers into a single layer under the control of the second operating system, and then providing the merged layer to the first operating system.
[0146] The second instrument panel image and the second entertainment image can also be formed using graphic rendering.
[0147] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the layer blending principle of the second display mode in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 11 As shown, Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 are merged to form a second display interface, which is the display interface in the second display mode. The layer merging between the layers provided by the first operating system (as shown in Layer 1 and Layer 3) and the layers provided by the second operating system (multiple layers, or Layer 2 obtained by merging multiple layers) is completed under the control of the first operating system.
[0148] Similar to the first display mode, in order to ensure that all images in the second display interface can be clearly viewed by the user, the images in layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3 are in different positions in their respective layers, so that after layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3 are merged, the images do not obscure each other. Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the second display interface formed by layer fusion in the second display mode of this application embodiment, as shown below. Figure 12 As shown, the dashboard pattern represents the image provided by the first operating system, and the Android pattern represents the image provided by the second operating system. After the two are layered, they form a complete display interface.
[0149] exist Figure 10 In the displayed interface, images related to vehicle information are shown in the second entertainment display area. However, these images are supported by the entertainment function, meaning that the entertainment function provides an option to display these images. Accordingly, these images are generated under the control of the second operating system, specifically obtained by the second operating system based on instrument data provided by the first operating system.
[0150] In one specific implementation, the image generated under the control of the second operating system is displayed in the second entertainment display area specifically in the form of a negative screen and / or a floating window.
[0151] As can be seen from the above description, in the second display mode, part of the second entertainment image can also be generated under the control of the first operating system. For example, the entertainment shortcut icon 781. The first operating system obtains the above-mentioned part of the entertainment image based on the entertainment data. Wherein, the entertainment data can be provided by the second operating system in real time, or can be entertainment data pre-stored in the storage space of the control component 71.
[0152] In the second display mode, the first operating system and the second operating system are both running.
[0153] Further, under the control of the first operating system, the second display interface is sent to the display screen 72 for display.
[0154] In this way, the same between the first display mode and the second display mode is that in the first display mode and the second display mode, the display interface of the display screen 72 is generated by layer fusion of at least one layer where the instrument image 750 is located and at least one layer where the entertainment image 780 is located, and the above-mentioned layer fusion is carried out under the control of the first operating system. In addition, in the first display mode and the second display mode, the display interface of the display screen 72 is sent to the display screen 72 for display under the control of the first operating system.
[0155] It can be understood that the first operating system and the second operating system run independently of each other, but the images generated by each of them are fused into a whole display interface displayed on the display screen 72. Because there are differences between the requirements of the motorcycle 100 for instrument display and entertainment display, using two different operating systems to control instrument function and entertainment function respectively can avoid the problem of low system running efficiency caused by excessive load of a single system, and can also avoid the problem that a single system cannot meet the individualized requirements of instrument display and entertainment display.
[0156] In order to run the above-mentioned at least two operating systems, the control component 71 needs to have corresponding hardware support. Specifically, the control component 71 has at least two processing cores including the first processing core 711 and the second processing core 712. The first operating system runs on the first processing core 711, and the second operating system runs on the second processing core 712. In addition, the control component 71 can also include a first storage space 716, a second storage space 717, a third storage space 718, a graphics mixing module 713, etc.
[0157] In actual application, the control component 71, for example, includes a system on chip (SoC) 710 and a plurality of storage spaces. In addition, the control component 71 can also include a microcontroller unit (MCU). Here, please refer to Figure 13A structural schematic diagram of the control component.
[0158] As shown in Figure 13 The plurality of storage spaces can include the first storage space 716, the second storage space 717, and the third storage space 718.
[0159] The at least two processing cores and the aforementioned graphics mixing module 713 can be located in the SoC chip 710. The first processing core 711 and the second processing core 712 can also be respectively referred to as a first core and a second core, or a B core and an A core. The first storage space 716 and the second storage space 717 can be respectively connected with the SoC chip 710, the first storage space 716 corresponding to the first processing core 711 (or corresponding to a first operating system) and being used to store data based on control of the first operating system. The second storage space 717 corresponds to the second processing core 712 (or corresponding to a second operating system) and is used to store data based on control of the second operating system.
[0160] Figure 14 An electronic architecture diagram for driving the display screen to display in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 14 In order to deploy synchronous operation of the first operating system and the second operating system, the first processing core 711 running the first operating system can be selected as a master processing core, which is used to be responsible for start timing management of the entire central control system 70.
[0161] As a specific implementation manner, the FreeRTOS system is run on the first processing core 711, and the Android system is run on the second processing core 712. During driving of the motorcycle 100, the first operating system needs to be run in real time to avoid interruption. The FreeRTOS system running on the first processing core 711 has the advantages of stability, safety, and not easy to crash, and therefore, the first processing core 711 as the master processing core can guarantee real-time acquisition of instrument data, and further guarantee driving safety of the driver. The Android system running on the second processing core 712 can support rich and intelligent entertainment functions, which are difficult to be realized by the FreeRTOS system. However, the Android system has a risk of crashing during use. If the second processing core 712 running the Android system is taken as the master processing core, the display screen 72 can crash during driving, which brings hidden dangers to safe driving.
[0162] Here, the first processing core 711 as the master processing core is used to control the graphics mixing module 713 to work.
[0163] In actual application, the images generated under the control of the first operating system are stored in the first storage space 716, and the images generated under the control of the second operating system are stored in the second storage space 717. The image storage step can also be completed by the corresponding operating system control. The image storage step can be specifically implemented by a virtual graphics driver. For example, the first operating system running on the first processing core 711 stores the generated first instrument image to the first storage space 716 through the virtual graphics driver.
[0164] In the first display mode, the above-mentioned graphics mixing module 713 is used to superimpose and fuse the images (in the form of being located on the layers) stored in the first storage space 716 according to the pre-set superimposition logic to form the first display interface. The first display interface is stored in the third storage space 718. In the second display mode, the above-mentioned graphics mixing module 713 is used to superimpose and fuse the images (in the form of being located on the layers) stored in the first storage space 716 and the second storage space 717 according to the pre-set superimposition logic to form the second display interface.
[0165] The first operating system running on the first processing core 711 is used to control the display unit to acquire the first display interface or the second display interface stored in the third storage space 718. Then, under the control of the first operating system, the first display interface or the second display interface is sent to the display screen 72 for display.
[0166] The first display interface or the second display interface can be output to the display screen 72 from the video output interface (for example, HDMI) in the form of LVDS (low voltage differential signal) video output, so as to drive the display screen 72 to display, and realize the first display mode or the second display mode.
[0167] The layer fusion in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by the hardware module of the graphics mixing module 713, and the efficiency is higher than that of the software mode.
[0168] It should be noted that, although in the above-mentioned embodiment, the first processing core 711 and the second processing core 712 are located in the SoC chip 710, the embodiment of the present application does not exclude the case that the two are respectively located in different chips, and the present application does not make specific limitation on this.
[0169] The first storage space 716 and the second storage space 717 can be the same piece of physical memory, and data communication is performed through memory sharing. The same piece of physical memory is mapped to the process address spaces of the second operating system and the first operating system, respectively, to achieve memory sharing of the first operating system and the second operating system in the hybrid unit. The first operating system can immediately view the update of data in the memory sharing by the second operating system, and vice versa. Since multiple systems and units share the same piece of memory region, some synchronization mechanisms, such as mutex or semaphore, are needed. The SoC chip 710 has a memory interface (Memory I / F) 714, and the first operating system and the second operating system perform data transmission with the first storage space 716 and the second storage space 717 through the memory interface 714.
[0170] An obvious advantage of using memory sharing communication is high efficiency, because the first operating system and the second operating system can directly read and write the memory (such as direct read and write) the first storage space 716 and the second storage space 717. Memory sharing only copies data twice: once from the input file to the memory sharing area, and once from the memory sharing area to the output file. In fact, when the first operating system and the second operating system share memory, they do not always dismount after reading and writing a small amount of data, and reestablish the memory sharing area when there is new communication; but keep the shared area until the communication is complete. In this way, the data content is always saved in the memory sharing, and there is no write-back file, and the content in the memory sharing is often written back to the file when dismounting. Therefore, the communication method using memory sharing can obtain high efficiency and save data storage resources.
[0171] The FreeRTOS system can also run on the MCU 715, and the FreeRTOS system running on the MCU 715 is used for management control, such as power management.
[0172] The first operating system running on the first processing core 711 and the second operating system running on the second processing core 712 need to interact with each other during work. The information of interaction includes but is not limited to: instrument information, central control system information, CAN message, time information, and diagnostic information.
[0173] Optionally, the process communication between the first processing core 711 and the second processing core 712 adopts an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) framework. RPC is an idea of requesting services from a remote computer program over a network without the need to understand the underlying network technology. In the embodiment of the present application, a process on the first processing core 711 calls a process on the second processing core 712, wherein the calling process on the first processing core 711 is suspended, and the called process on the second processing core 712 starts to execute, when the value is returned to the first processing core 711, the first processing core 711 process continues to execute, and vice versa. The calling party can transmit information to the called party by using parameters, and then can get information through the returned result. The process communication between the first processing core 711 and the second processing core 712 adopts the RPC framework, which can prevent the first processing core 711 and the second processing core 712 from pre-empting resources, and coordinate the processes between the first processing core 711 and the second processing core 712.
[0174] Taking a specific example, in a language setting operation, the user sets a language option on the second operating system of the second processing core 712, and the setting information is synchronously transmitted to the first operating system on the first processing core 711 through the communication protocol, so as to realize the synchronous update of the system language, and is further transmitted to the display screen 72.
[0175] In addition to the memory sharing, the image transmission between the first processing core 711 and the second processing core 712 is also completed through a virtual IO mechanism.
[0176] The graphic refresh rate of the first processing core 711 and the graphic refresh rate of the second processing core 712 can be set according to the display requirement of the driving device. The graphic refresh rate of the first processing core 711 is greater than or equal to the graphic refresh rate of the second processing core 712. Optionally, the graphic refresh rate of the first processing core 711 is 60 fps, and the graphic refresh rate of the second processing core 712 is 60 fps or 30 fps. It should be understood that the graphic refresh rate of the first processing core 711 specifically refers to the graphic refresh rate of the first operating system. Similarly, the graphic refresh rate of the second processing core 712 specifically refers to the graphic refresh rate of the second operating system.
[0177] It can be understood that the central control system 70 provided by the present application is not limited to be applied to the motorcycle 100, and the person skilled in the art can apply it to other driving devices without creative labor, which should also belong to the protection scope of the present application. The central control system 70 can be applied to any type of real or virtual driving device. Here, the driving device includes but is not limited to a motorcycle, a motorboat, a tractor, a passenger car, an airplane, an airship, etc.
[0178] Based on the above electronic architecture of the control assembly 71, the central control system 70 can provide more abundant and convenient use functions and human-computer interaction modes for the user.
[0179] Firstly, the central control system 70 can provide various entertainment functions, as described above, the entertainment functions at least include: navigation function, multimedia function, auxiliary driving, voice control function, interconnection function, etc.
[0180] Among them, the navigation function can adopt the existing navigation function, which is not expanded here.
[0181] For the multimedia function, including but not limited to radio playing, playing audio or video files stored in the built-in or external storage device, game function, etc. Here, the external storage device includes, for example: a U disk plugged into the motorcycle 100, a mobile terminal 200 wirelessly connected to the motorcycle 100, etc. Correspondingly, the motorcycle 100 is provided with a socket 65 for plugging the U disk, for example, the socket 65 is located on the control device 60, which is not limited here. The mobile terminal 200 can include a mobile phone 201, and can also include a wearable device 202. The control assembly 71 is also used to control the display screen 70 to play multimedia files stored in the built-in or external storage device.
[0182] In order to ensure driving safety, the control assembly 71 is also used to control the display screen 72 to pause providing the user with the playing image of the video file and the display image of the game function during the driving process of the motorcycle 100. As an optional implementation manner, the video file playing function and the game function are not provided for the user to use during the driving process of the motorcycle 100. When the motorcycle 100 is in a stopped driving state, the video file playing and the game function can be run. As another optional implementation manner, the video file playing and the game function can be run during the driving process of the motorcycle 100, but the corresponding image is not displayed on the display screen 72.
[0183] The central control system 70 also supports the auxiliary driving function. Specifically, the central control system 70 can receive a camera file from a camera assembly 81 installed on the vehicle frame 10, and control the display screen 72 to display the above-mentioned camera file based on the control assembly 71. The central control system 70 can also receive radar data from a radar assembly 82 installed on the vehicle frame 10, and control the display screen 72 to issue an alarm information to the user based on the control assembly 71, the alarm information includes image and / or sound. In addition, the central control system 70 can also fuse the received camera file and radar data, and control the display screen 72 to provide the user with the fused information based on the control assembly 71.
[0184] For the voice control function, the central control system 70 can directly receive voice information, or receive voice information through an external device such as the wearable device 202. The control component 71 identifies the voice information locally or through the cloud 300, and generates corresponding control instructions.
[0185] In addition, for the interconnection function, it includes the interconnection between the central control system 70 and the mobile terminal 200. As described above, the mobile terminal 200 can include the mobile phone 201, and can also include the wearable device 202, etc. The interconnection between the central control system 70 and the mobile terminal 200 includes but is not limited to Bluetooth connection. The central control system 70 can interact with the mobile terminal 200 through interconnection, and project the content displayed on the mobile terminal 200 to the display screen 72 for display. In addition, the functions supported on the mobile terminal 200 can also be mapped to the display screen 72, so as to realize corresponding functions by taking the display screen 72 as an input device and / or an output device, such as the function of answering or making a call.
[0186] In order to enable the user to understand the use method of various functions, the central control system 70 can also provide a new user guide function. Specifically, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to display a new user guide function icon, and when a control instruction for the new user guide function icon is triggered, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to show the user the use method of various functions.
[0187] Secondly, the central control system 70 can also provide a setting function for each component of the motorcycle 100. The setting function includes: setting the driving mode, setting the temperature of the direction control component, setting the temperature of the saddle, setting the sound channel, setting the display screen brightness, setting the volume, etc. It can be understood that part of the above setting functions can also be provided on the motorcycle of the related art, but are mainly provided based on hard keys located on the motorcycle, and the user can only set one by one through the keys, and there may be a slow response problem, which is very inconvenient to use. The use frequency of part of the hard keys is high, and there is a risk of easy damage and failure. It can be understood that the central control system 70 provides the setting function, which can realize the setting of multiple functions on one display interface of the display screen 72, and is convenient to use. In specific applications, the central control system 70 provides a setting function for each component of the motorcycle 100, and the implementation of the setting function can be supported by the second operating system, for example, the setting function is provided through the Android system. In this way, a faster response speed can be obtained.
[0188] The central control system 70 supports saving and calling of each setting condition input by the user. Specifically, when receiving the input content for the setting function, the first icon for indicating whether the user saves the above-mentioned input content is displayed on the display screen 72. In addition, the second icon for indicating whether the user uses the default naming corresponding to the above-mentioned input content or inputs the new naming corresponding to the above-mentioned input content can also be displayed. The above-mentioned input content can be the input content for setting one function or the input content for setting multiple functions. When receiving the instruction of the user using the setting function, the display screen 72 displays the image corresponding to the saved input content to the user, for example, the image of the default naming or the new naming. When receiving the control instruction of the user for the image, the first function control instruction for indicating the corresponding component of the motorcycle 100 to complete the function adjustment corresponding to the above-mentioned input content is output. The display image corresponding to the above-mentioned setting function can be displayed in the display interface of the display screen 72 in the form of a floating window (please refer to Figure 17 the floating window 792). As a specific implementation manner, the image corresponding to the above-mentioned setting function is displayed in the second display mode. In order not to affect the display of the instrument image, the image corresponding to the above-mentioned setting function is displayed in the second entertainment display area.
[0189] In the above description, the various human-computer interaction modes supported by the central control system 70 in the embodiment of the application have been basically mentioned in combination with the specific application scenarios. Next, the same will be mainly described in detail.
[0190] The user can control the central control system 70 in the following ways: through the touch control of the display screen 72, through the voice control, and through the operation of the control device 60.
[0191] Among them, the control of the central control system 70 is realized through the touch control of the display screen 72. Specifically, the display screen 72 is a touch screen. As an implementation manner, the display screen 72 includes a liquid crystal screen and a touch cover plate covering the liquid crystal screen, and the display screen 72 realizes the touch function based on the touch cover plate. In addition, the display screen 72 also supports fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, etc., and the unlocking of the central control system 70 is realized through the fingerprint recognition or the iris recognition. It has been described above that in the switching process between the first display mode and the second display mode, if it is detected that the motorcycle 100 is in the driving process, the touch function of the display screen 72 is locked. In actual application, in order to ensure driving safety, when the motorcycle 100 starts driving, the touch function of the display screen 72 is controlled to be closed based on the control component 71, and the display screen 72 is in a non-touch control state. When the motorcycle 100 stops driving, the touch function of the display screen 72 is controlled to be opened based on the control component 71, and the display screen 72 is in a touch control state.
[0192] The voice control can be started after the central control system 70 is started and can be closed when the central control system 70 is closed. During the starting of the central control system 70, if it is detected that the central control system 70 provides a call service for the user, the voice control is closed during the call. In a specific application, the functions that can be realized by the central control system 70 through the touch or through the control of the control means can also be realized through the voice control. The reception and other related content of the voice control can be referred to the foregoing description, which will not be repeated here.
[0193] The control of the central control system 70 is realized through the operation of the control means 60. Specifically, a plurality of control means are arranged in the control device 60 of the motorcycle 100, which can include keys, knobs, and toggle keys. When at least one of the plurality of control means is operated, the central control system 70 can receive a control instruction and perform a corresponding operation based on the control instruction. For the sake of description, the control means with the above functions are referred to as central control control means 64. It can be understood that the central control system 70 supports a plurality of functions, some of which have a high operation frequency or a high operation timeliness requirement, and the man-machine interaction with the central control system 70 can be realized conveniently and efficiently through the operation of the central control control means 64. Thus, in the embodiments of the present application, the control device 60 is not only used to control the operation of the motorcycle 100, but also can control the operation of the central control system 70 based on the central control control means 64. Furthermore, as described above, during the driving of the motorcycle 100, the touch function of the display screen 72 is closed, at this time, the user can control the central control system 70 through the operation of the central control control means 64.
[0194] The operation of the central control control means 64 can include ordinary pressing, long pressing, and continuous pressing. Here, in order to distinguish, the ordinary pressing is referred to as the first time length pressing, which is an instant pressing, and is pressed down and then lifted. The long pressing needs to be maintained for a period of time, for example, 1 s, and the long pressing is referred to as the second time length pressing. The continuous pressing needs to be maintained for a longer period of time, for example, 10 s, and the continuous pressing can be referred to as the third time length pressing. Obviously, the third time length is greater than the second time length, and the second time length is greater than the first time length. In addition, the operation of the central control control means 64 can also include the simultaneous pressing of two keys, rotation, and toggle. Of course, the present application also does not exclude the simultaneous pressing of more than three keys.
[0195] Figure 15 The structure of part of the central control control means in the embodiments of the present application is shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, the central control control means 64 can include a first control means 641, a second control means 642, a third control means 643, a fourth control means 644, a fifth control means 645, a sixth control means 646, and a seventh control means 647.
[0196] The first control 641, the second control 642, the third control 643, and the fourth control 644 are respectively an up control, a down control, a left control, and a right control, and can also be respectively referred to as an up button, a down button, a left button, and a right button. The four controls can all be triangular, and point to different directions through the vertices of the triangles. In this way, a user can conveniently determine the functions according to the shapes, for example, the up control and the down control can be used to switch options, and the left control and the right control can be used to adjust the volume. As described above, the first control instruction received by the central control system 70 can include a control instruction received through a control in the control device 60. In actual applications, the first control instruction can be received through the left control and the right control.
[0197] The fifth control 645 in the middle can activate or end voice control, and can be referred to as a voice control. When a user presses the voice button, the car machine voice assistant can be displayed on the display screen 72, and voice control of the central control system 70 can be implemented based on the opening of the car machine voice assistant. When the central control system 70 is connected to the mobile terminal 200, if the voice button is pressed, voice information can be received based on the mobile terminal 200. The control is, for example, a round center button.
[0198] The sixth control 646 on the lower left side can call out the negative screen 791 and / or the floating window 792, thereby providing convenience for a user to quickly view vehicle information and quickly use a setting function, and can be referred to as an Fn button or a function control. The calling out of the negative screen 791 or the floating window 792 based on the sixth control 646 can be implemented through different operations on the sixth control 646. Specifically, in response to the central control system 70 receiving a control instruction corresponding to a first length of pressing based on the sixth control 646, the floating window 792 is called out on the display screen 72; in response to the central control system 70 receiving a control instruction corresponding to a second length of pressing based on the sixth control 646, the negative screen 791 is called out on the display screen 72; the second length of pressing is different from the first length of pressing. For example, when the sixth control 646 receives a normal pressing operation, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to display the floating window 792; when the sixth control 646 receives a long pressing operation, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to display the negative screen 791.
[0199] In a specific application, the negative screen 791 and the floating window 792 are set to be called out only in the second display mode. In the first display mode, when the central control component 64 receives a control instruction from the user based on the sixth control component 646 (for example, a signal of pressing the Fn button by the user), the control component 71 can not perform any operation, so that the pressing of the user is considered as invalid operation. The shape of the sixth control component 646 is different from the shapes of the aforementioned control components, which is beneficial for the user to quickly find and control the control component. As a specific implementation, the shape of the sixth control component 646 is a rectangle. Further, the sixth control component 646 can be a rectangle with rounded corners.
[0200] Considering that the driver needs to hold the direction control component 61 during driving, in order to facilitate the driver to control the aforementioned control components under the premise of ensuring driving safety, the central control component 64 can be located around the direction control component 61 (please refer to Figure 1 ) for details. For the case that the direction control component 61 is a handle component, the central control component 64 can be located around the left handle 611 or the right handle 612. The distance between the central control component 64 and the direction control component 61 (and the left handle 611 or the right handle 612) is not more than 25 cm. Optionally, the distance between them is within the range of 10 cm.
[0201] Next, the control method of the central control component 64 will be described in detail in combination with specific examples.
[0202] Figure 16 The flowchart of the control method of the central control component in the embodiments of the present application is shown in Figure 16 .
[0203] In step S01, the central control component 64 receives a signal of pressing the Fn button by the user and transmits the signal to the control component 71.
[0204] In step S02, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to pop up an Fn button setting page on the display interface, and the image corresponding to the first function is highlighted in the Fn button setting page.
[0205] The setting page corresponds to the aforementioned floating window 792 of the setting functions of the components of the motorcycle 100. It can be referred to Figure 17 that the display screen 72 displays various settable functions. For example, the functions include driving mode, screen brightness, handle heating, seat cushion heating, sound channel, and navigation volume. The corresponding option box can have two states of being checked or not being checked. Here, the driving mode is referred to as the first function, the screen brightness is referred to as the second function, and the other functions are referred to in the same manner.
[0206] The handle heating is a specific example of setting the temperature of the aforementioned setting direction control component 61. Similarly, the seat heating is a specific example of setting the temperature of the aforementioned seat 50. The screen brightness corresponds to setting the brightness of the aforementioned display screen 72. The navigation volume is a specific example of setting the aforementioned volume.
[0207] In step S03, it is judged whether the user is adjusting the left and right buttons;
[0208] In step S04, if the user is adjusting the left and right buttons, the related parameters of the first function are adjusted;
[0209] In step S05, if the user is not adjusting the left and right buttons, it is judged whether the user continues to press the Fn button;
[0210] In step S06, if the user continues to press the Fn button, the display screen 72 is controlled by the control component 71 to highlight the image corresponding to the second function on the display interface;
[0211] Steps S03-S06 are repeatedly executed;
[0212] In step S07, if the user no longer presses the Fn button, the Fn button function is exited when the waiting time exceeds the preset time length. The preset time length is, for example, 3-5s.
[0213] In summary, the control component 71 receives the control instructions from the user based on at least part of the central control component 64, and controls the display screen 72 to display the images corresponding to the setting functions based on the received control instructions. For the sake of description, the control instructions in step S01 are referred to as second control instructions. The second control instructions are received, for example, through the sixth control component 646. Referring to step S02, the second control instructions are used to call up the display interface corresponding to the setting functions (for example, to call up the floating window 792). In addition, referring to steps S03-S06, the control instructions in steps S03-S06 are referred to as third control instructions. The third control instructions are received, for example, through the sixth control component 646 and the third control component 643 and the fourth control component 644. The third control instructions are used to set each setting item in the setting function. Specifically, at least one setting item is set based on the third control component 643 and the fourth control component 644, and it is switched which setting item in each setting item is in a settable state based on the sixth control component 646.
[0214] Figure 18 A display interface schematic diagram for setting the handle heating function is shown. As shown in the figure, the schematic diagram represents that if a signal is received that the user is adjusting the left and right buttons, the display screen 72 appears the display interface in a state where the image corresponding to the handle heating is highlighted. In this display interface, the operation of adjusting the left and right buttons will be displayed on the display screen 72 in the corresponding image.
[0215] Figure 19 The display interface diagram for setting the volume adjustment function is shown. As shown, the diagram represents a state in which the image corresponding to the volume adjustment is highlighted, and if a signal is received that the user is adjusting the left and right buttons, the display screen 72 displays the display interface. If a signal is received that the user is pressing the right button, the volume is increased, and the display interface of the display screen 72 is as shown in the lower left of the figure. Conversely, if a signal is received that the user is pressing the left button, the volume is decreased, and the display interface of the display screen 72 is as shown in the upper right of the figure. Figure 19 Figure 19
[0216] In addition, the seventh control 647 can be a custom control, specifically a custom button, which has a corresponding signal transmission function based on a custom setting of the user.
[0217] It can be understood that, by adding the central control control 64 to the control device 60 of the motorcycle 100, the embodiments of the present application can more conveniently and quickly achieve control of the central control system 70. During driving, the driver does not need to touch the display screen 72, thereby ensuring driving safety.
