Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of motor vehicle technology, and in particular to a motorcycle. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional motorcycles typically only display instrument information through the dashboard. However, with the increasing demand for intelligent entertainment functions such as in-vehicle multimedia and navigation, motorcycles are beginning to develop towards intelligence.

[0003] Central control systems with entertainment features are increasingly appearing in various car brands. Compared to traditional cars, cars with entertainment features typically integrate a central display screen in the center console area between the driver and passenger seats. Existing solutions are generally easier to implement in cars because the cabin space is larger, making it easier to arrange both the instrument panel and the central display screen. However, implementation in motorcycles is relatively difficult, which is related to the smaller front space and lower cost of motorcycles.

[0004] Currently, while some motorcycles support intelligent functions, most employ a separate system where instrument and entertainment functions are implemented independently. This means two separate displays handle the instrument and entertainment functions, each controlled by a separate control unit. Due to space limitations in the front area of ​​the motorcycle, it's difficult to arrange the instrument and entertainment screens effectively, making them smaller and hindering user access to information. Furthermore, the freedom of hand and eye movement for motorcycle riders differs significantly from that of car drivers. Traditional display-based control methods for motorcycles need improvement in terms of convenience and efficiency.

[0005] Currently, there is no effective solution in terms of how to meet the intelligent entertainment needs of motorcycles and provide a central control system that is more suitable for motorcycle use. Summary of the Invention

[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. Those skilled in the art will understand, explicitly and implicitly, that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments without conflict. The terms "a," "an," "an," "the," etc., used in this application do not indicate quantity limitation and can represent singular or plural. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and any variations thereof, used in this application, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "connected," "linked," etc., used in this application are not limited to physical or mechanical connections but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "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 according to the direction of travel. To clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following definitions are provided: Figure 1 The front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom are shown. Wheel 30 includes a front wheel 31 and a rear wheel 32. Suspension system 20 includes a front suspension 21 and a rear suspension 22. The front wheel 31 is connected to the frame 10 via the front suspension 21, and the rear wheel 32 is connected to the frame 10 via the rear suspension 22. Power system 40 is at least partially mounted on the frame 10 and provides power for the operation of the motorcycle 100. At least one of the front wheel 31 and the rear wheel 32 is drive-connected to power system 40. Seat 50 is mounted on the frame 10 and includes at least one driver's seat 51. Control device 60 is used to control the operation of the motorcycle 100. Optionally, all or part of the components of control device 60 are electrically connected to power system 40. Control device 60 includes a steering control assembly 61. As shown, the steering control assembly 61 is located, for example, above the front wheel 31 and in front of the driver's seat 51.

[0042] The central control system 70 includes a control component 71 and a display screen 72. The control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to display instrument panel images 750 and entertainment images 780. Please refer to further details. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The control component 71 is specifically used to control the display screen 72 to display the instrument panel 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 may include a first display mode and a second display mode. In the first display mode, the area occupied by the instrument panel image 750 on the display screen 72 is larger than the area occupied by the entertainment image 780 on the display screen 72. In the second display mode, the area occupied by the instrument panel image 750 on the display screen 72 is less than or equal to the area occupied by the entertainment image 780 on the display screen 72.

[0043] Understandably, in the motorcycle 100 provided in this application, the central control system 70 can control the display screen 72 to display both the instrument panel image 750 and the entertainment image 780, thus combining the functions of an instrument panel screen and an entertainment screen. Furthermore, the display screen 72 can provide users with at least two different display modes, allowing switching and adjustment of the displayed images in different modes (corresponding to different user needs), thereby facilitating the user's viewing of relevant information. Displaying the instrument panel image 750 and the entertainment image 780 in different display modes overcomes the shortcomings of existing motorcycles where a single display screen can only display specific functions, resulting in limited display functionality and area. This expands the display screen's functionality and increases the display area for both instrument and entertainment displays. In this way, the space in the front area of ​​the motorcycle 100 can be fully utilized to arrange the display screen 72. While both the first and second display modes display both the instrument panel image 750 and the entertainment image 780, there are significant differences between them. The first display mode primarily displays instrument information; in practical applications, the first display mode can also be called the "full instrument panel display mode." The second display mode primarily displays entertainment information; in practical applications, the second display mode can also be called "split-screen display mode".

[0044] It is worth noting that the display screen 72 provided in this application for use on the motorcycle 100 is a single, complete display screen, not a spliced ​​screen, thus making full use of the relatively compact space in the front area of ​​the motorcycle 100 to accommodate a large screen. This is different from related technologies that utilize the same space to arrange two relatively smaller spliced ​​screens, as it avoids the limitations of two separate displays. Specifically, in related technologies, to accommodate the entertainment display screen, the size of the instrument panel must be limited, making it difficult to make both the entertainment and instrument panels large. Users can only view instrument and entertainment information on two relatively small screens respectively. Even when not using the entertainment function, the driver can only view instrument information through the relatively small instrument panel, which is very inconvenient for the driver to quickly view the content displayed while driving. The technical solution provided in this application clearly solves this problem effectively, thus facilitating the driver's viewing of relevant information. Furthermore, a single display screen allows for a unified display style, improving the driver's viewing experience. In addition, using a single display screen also saves on manufacturing costs.

[0045] The term "user" as used in this article can refer to the driver, or to passengers or other persons using the motorcycle's central control system.

[0046] In fact, the difference between the first display mode and the second display mode is not limited to this. The specific operating methods of the control component 71 and the control methods of the display screen 72 are completely different under different display modes. For example, at least two operating systems run on the control component 71; the control component 71 specifically controls the display screen 72 to display the instrument image 750 and the entertainment image 780 based on these at least two operating systems. The at least two operating systems include a first operating system and a second operating system. The first operating system is used to receive instrument information in real time during the operation of the motorcycle 100 and control the display screen 72 to display the instrument image 750 corresponding to the instrument information in real time. The second operating system is used to run the entertainment function when receiving control commands and control the display screen 72 to display the entertainment image 780 corresponding to the entertainment function. Since the display screen 72 needs to display a complete interface at the same time, the images generated by the two operating systems need to be merged before being provided to the display screen 72 for display.

[0047] Furthermore, the electronic architecture of the aforementioned control component 71, which can run at least two operating systems, is clearly different from that of the electronic architecture of in-vehicle central control systems in related technologies. In this embodiment, two processing kernels are used to run the aforementioned at least two operating systems respectively. The central control system 70 can further provide users with richer and more convenient human-machine interaction methods, such as touch screen, voice control, and remote interconnection control. Moreover, in order to enable the driver to quickly operate key functions during driving, a central control component 64 (e.g., adding "hard buttons") can be added to the control device 60 of the motorcycle 100 to improve the convenience of operation.

[0048] Below, we will first provide a specific description and explanation of which types of motorcycles the embodiments of this application are applicable to and how the display screen is arranged on the motorcycle.

[0049] The motorcycle 100 mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be any type of motorcycle.

[0050] Based on the classification of motorcycle wheels, wheel 30 includes the front wheel 31 and the rear wheel 32, which can be one of the following:

[0051] The wheels consist of only one front wheel and one rear wheel. Understandably, traditional motorcycle models typically consist of only one front wheel and one rear wheel, such as street bikes, sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, rally bikes, off-road bikes, supermoto bikes, scooters, underbone bikes, and so on.

[0052] The wheels consist of one front wheel and two rear wheels. Motorcycles equipped with this type of wheel are usually a type of special motorcycle, such as a three-wheeled motorcycle. These motorcycles are mostly used as production tools, although some high-end imported motorcycle brands also adopt this three-wheeled form.

[0053] The wheels consist of two front wheels and one rear wheel. Similarly, motorcycles equipped with this type of wheel are usually special motorcycles, such as three-wheeled motorcycles. These motorcycles are relatively rare, with the most well-known example being the Bombardier three-wheeled motorcycle.

[0054] The wheels consist of a front wheel, a rear wheel, and a side wheel. Motorcycles equipped with these types of wheels can be called sidecar motorcycles, or more commonly, "sidecars".

[0055] The wheels consist of 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), and SSVs (Side-by-Side Vehicles), all of which can utilize the technical solutions provided in this application. It should be noted that there are currently multiple ways to classify all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles. Some classification methods group all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles together, considering all-terrain vehicles not to be general motorcycles, while other classification methods consider all-terrain vehicles to be a special type of motorcycle. This mainly considers whether the concept of a motorcycle is interpreted narrowly or broadly. The motorcycles mentioned in the embodiments of this application mainly belong to the latter classification method, meaning that the technical solutions of this application can be applied to all-terrain vehicles.

[0056] Based on the motorcycle's power system, the motorcycle 100 mentioned in this application embodiment can be either a gasoline-powered motorcycle or an electric motorcycle. If the motorcycle 100 is a gasoline-powered motorcycle, the aforementioned power system 40 is a gasoline-powered power system; if the motorcycle 100 is an electric motorcycle, the aforementioned 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, this application does not exclude the possibility that the display screen 72 is located to the side front of the driver's seat 51.

[0058] The vehicle seat 50 includes at least one driver's seat 51, and may also include at least one passenger seat 52. The driver's seat 51 and passenger seat 52 can be arranged in the front-to-back direction of the motorcycle 100, or in the left-to-right direction. The driver's seat 51 and passenger seat 52 can be two separate, spaced-apart seats, or they can be two areas on a single seat. In the case where the driver's seat 51 and passenger seat 52 are two areas on a single seat, the driver's seat 51 and passenger seat 52 can also be referred to as the area for the driver and the area for the passenger, respectively.

[0059] A plane 110 is defined as the plane containing the midpoint of the driver's seat 51. The driver's seat 51 can be substantially symmetrical along the midpoint; however, this application does not require the driver's seat 51 to be a symmetrical structure. The display screen 72 is at least partially located on the plane 110 and is located on the side closer to the steering control assembly 61. It is understood that the display screen 72 intersects with the plane 110. Thus, the arrangement of the display screen 72 is more compatible with the driver's field of vision, making it easier for the driver to view the image on the display screen 72. It is understood that when the steering control assembly 61 is centered, the plane 110 is also the plane containing the midpoint of the steering control assembly 61. Furthermore, the motorcycle 100 can also be substantially symmetrical along the plane 110.

[0060] In one specific embodiment of this application, the seat 50 of the motorcycle 100 can be a saddle; see here for reference. Figure 1 A saddle (see Figure 50) is mounted on the frame 10. The saddle includes at least one driver's seat 51. Optionally, the driver's seat 51 can be an area on the saddle where the driver can sit. Generally, the driver's seat 51 is located on the front side of the saddle, that is, on the side near the front wheel 11 and the steering control assembly 61. In addition, the saddle also includes a passenger seat 52. Correspondingly, the passenger seat 52 can be an area on the saddle where a passenger can sit. The passenger seat 52 is located on the rear side of the saddle, specifically behind the aforementioned driver's seat 51. In this specific embodiment, the saddle extends in the front-rear direction, and plane 110 is the plane containing the center plane of the saddle. The display screen 72 is located in front of the saddle, on the side near the steering control assembly 61. The display screen 72 intersects with the plane containing the center plane of the saddle.

[0061] It should be understood that this application does not impose specific restrictions on the type of seat 50, as long as it meets the purpose of passenger transport.

[0062] The display screen 72 is positioned adjacent to the control device 60.

[0063] In one specific embodiment of this application, the steering control component 61 can be a grip assembly, specifically including a left grip 611 and a right grip 612. Furthermore, the steering control component 61 also includes a grip connecting shaft 613 located between the left grip 611 and the right grip 612. Both the display screen 72 and the grip connecting shaft 613 are at least partially located on the plane 110; specifically, the display screen 72 is located in one of the following positions: on the side of the grip connecting shaft 613 away from the seat 50, on the side of the grip connecting shaft 613 closer to the seat 50, or above the grip connecting shaft 613. It should be understood that this application does not impose specific limitations on the structure and morphology of the steering control component 61, as long as it meets the steering control requirements. This application does not exclude the possibility that the steering control component 61 is a steering wheel.

[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] Considering the specific structural characteristics of motorcycles, in order to arrange a display screen of a more suitable size, in this embodiment of the application, the ratio of the diagonal dimension of the display screen 72 to the distance between the wheel centers of the motorcycle 100 is 0.11 to 0.3, where the distance between the wheel centers of the motorcycle 100 is the distance between the wheel centers of the front wheel 31 and the rear wheel 32. Further, the ratio of the diagonal dimension of the display screen 72 to the distance between the wheel centers of the motorcycle 100 can be 0.13 to 0.26. Even further, for example, 0.17 to 0.19 can be 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 described in this embodiment should be understood to include 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 practical applications, for motorcycles with a wheel center distance of 1.1 to 1.3 meters, an 8-inch display screen is recommended. For motorcycles with a wheel center distance of 1.5 to 1.7 meters, a 12.3-inch display screen can be selected.

[0072] The ratio of the diagonal dimension of the display screen 72 to the distance between the two farthest points of the directional control assembly 61 is between 0.19 and 0.52. It is understood that for the directional control assembly 61, which includes a left grip 611 and a right grip 612, the distance between the two farthest points of the directional control assembly 61 refers to the distance between the farthest point of the left grip 611 (the end furthest from the right grip 612) and the farthest point of the right grip 612 (the end furthest from the left grip 611). Further, the ratio can range from 0.23 to 0.45. Even further, the ratio of the diagonal dimension of the display screen 72 to the distance between the two farthest points of the directional control assembly 61 is between 0.29 and 0.35.

[0073] Furthermore, to facilitate the driver's viewing of information on the display screen 72 while driving, this application provides a suitable range for the tilt angle of the display screen 72. When the motorcycle 100 is parked on a horizontal surface with the front wheel 31 and rear wheel 32 as support points, the tilt angle of the display screen 72 relative to the horizontal surface is 20° to 70°. Further, the tilt angle is, for example, 35° to 55°.

[0074] In this embodiment, the display screen 72 can extend substantially along a first direction 101 perpendicular to the plane 110, or it can extend substantially along a second direction 102 parallel to the plane 110. In practical applications, the display screen 72 can be a landscape display screen or a portrait display screen. Specifically, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a horizontally oriented display screen 72 is mounted on the motorcycle 100. The display screen 72 extends substantially along a first direction 101, which is, for example, the left-right direction of the motorcycle 100. The image displayed on the display screen 72 is displayed vertically in a second direction 102 perpendicular to the first direction 101. Alternatively, the display screen 72 can be a vertically oriented display screen. The display screen 72 extends substantially along the second direction 102, and the image displayed on the display screen 72 is displayed vertically in the second direction 102. The shorter side of the display screen 72 is parallel to the aforementioned first direction 101. Whether the display screen 72 is mounted horizontally or vertically depends on the specific type of motorcycle 100, particularly on the structure and size of the front area of ​​the motorcycle 100. Furthermore, it can also depend on user preferences and design requirements. The left-right direction is defined above based on the user riding on the motorcycle 100.

[0075] Figure 3 This is a partial perspective view of a motorcycle according to another embodiment of this application, specifically illustrating a configuration where the display screen 72 is mounted on the motorcycle 100 in a vertical display mode. It should be understood that in certain specific application scenarios, a vertically displayed screen has advantages over a horizontally displayed screen. For example, for some motorcycle models, due to their narrow and elongated front end design, a horizontally displayed screen might only be able to accommodate a relatively small size, or a relatively large screen might be mounted but become easily damaged due to insufficient protection from the frame. Furthermore, a vertically displayed screen may perform better for displaying certain specific user interfaces.

[0076] In addition, the display screen 72 in this embodiment can also be a display screen with a rotatable display interface. The display screen 72 is connected to the frame 10 or front suspension 21 of the motorcycle 100 (specifically, it can be connected to the front fork 211), and the display screen 72 can rotate relative to the frame 10 or front suspension 21. As a specific embodiment, the motorcycle 100 also includes a connecting structure 90, through which the display screen 72 is connected to the frame 10 or front suspension 21. The display screen 72 can rotate about the connecting structure 90. The control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to rotate the image displayed on it based on at least one of the following: such as gravity sensing, control signals, etc. The rotation of the image displayed on the display screen 72 specifically means that the displayed image rotates relative to the display screen 72. In order to facilitate users to view relevant information and make reasonable use of 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 used to control the display interface of the display screen 72 to undergo a first type of adjustment when the display screen 72 rotates. This first type of adjustment includes switching the arrangement of the first and second parts of the instrument image 750 between a left-right arrangement and a top-bottom arrangement. Referring to areas 721 and 722 in the figure, the first and second parts of the instrument image 750 can be displayed within areas 721 and 722, respectively. Therefore, in the first display mode, the layout of the display interface is mainly adjusted by changing the positional relationship of the various parts of the instrument image 750. Please refer to... Figure 9 In the second display mode, the control component 71 is specifically used to control the display interface of the display screen 72 to undergo a second type of adjustment when the display screen 72 rotates. This second type of adjustment includes switching the arrangement of at least a portion of the instrument image 750 and at least a portion of the entertainment image 780 between a left-right arrangement and a top-bottom arrangement. Referring to areas 726 and 728 in the figure, at least a portion of the instrument image 750 and at least a portion of the entertainment image 780 can be displayed in areas 726 and 728 respectively. Therefore, unlike the first display mode, in the second display mode, the layout of the display interface needs to be adjusted by changing the positional relationship between at least a portion of the instrument image 750 and at least a portion of the entertainment image 780.

[0077] The display screen 72 is capable of rotating between extending substantially along a first direction 101 and extending substantially along a second direction 102. Figure 8 and Figure 9 Taking the case where the display screen 72 rotates from extending substantially along the first direction 101 to extending substantially along the second direction 102 as an example, the first type of adjustment occurring in the first display mode specifically involves switching the arrangement of the first and second portions of the instrument image 750 from a left-right arrangement to a top-bottom arrangement. The second type of adjustment occurring in the second display mode specifically involves switching between switching the arrangement of at least a portion of the instrument image 750 and at least a portion of the entertainment image 780 from a left-right arrangement to a top-bottom arrangement. The reverse is also true, but will not be detailed here.

[0078] The display screen 72 can be mounted on the motorcycle 100 either in an embedded manner or in a protruding manner. An embedded manner specifically means that the back of the display screen 72's casing is embedded within the motorcycle 100 and is not exposed. A protruding manner specifically means that at least part of the back of the display screen 72's casing is exposed, and it is connected to the motorcycle 100 only through a portion of the back or at least a portion of the lower part. The arrangement of the display screen 72 is related to the model of the motorcycle 100; the arrangement of the display screen varies for different motorcycles, and this application embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0079] Furthermore, the various improvement concepts provided in this application may also be applicable to other driving devices besides motorcycles. For those skilled in the art, any modifications and improvements made without departing from the concept of this application should be considered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0080] The following section will provide a more detailed explanation of the aforementioned central control system 70.

[0081] Understandably, the aforementioned central control system 70 can be installed on the motorcycle 100, existing as a whole with the motorcycle 100 and the central control system 70 as a part of the motorcycle 100; or it can exist independently of the motorcycle 100 body, in a form to be installed.

[0082] As previously described, the central control system 70 includes a control component 71 and a display screen 72. In one implementation, the control component 71 and the display screen 72 can be encapsulated together in a housing to form an integrated screen. This integrated screen is electrically connected to the power system 40 on the motorcycle 100 via a conductive structure such as wires, and mechanically connected to the frame 10 or front fork 211 on the motorcycle 100 via a connection structure 90. It is understood that the connection structure 90 can be, for example, a fastener or connector. The aforementioned conductive structure and mechanical connection structure can also be integrated, allowing the central control system 70 to be installed with only a single connection to the frame 10 or front fork 211 of the motorcycle 100. In this implementation, the arrangement of the central control system 70 can refer to the aforementioned arrangement of the display screen 72. Alternatively, the control component 71 and the display screen 72 can be deployed separately on the motorcycle 100, with the display screen 72 at least partially located on the plane 110. The deployment location of the control component 71 is not limited to this; it can be deployed at any location on the motorcycle 100. It should be noted that, regardless of the implementation, an electrical connection is required between the control component 71 and the display screen 72 to ensure that the control component 71 controls the display on the display screen 72.

[0083] The control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to display instrument panel image 750 and entertainment image 780. Specifically, instrument panel image 750 refers to an image used to represent at least the motorcycle's driving information and status information. Instrument panel image 750 allows users to easily view motorcycle driving and status information at any time, ensuring a basic driving experience. Entertainment image 780 specifically refers to an image used to represent at least the currently running entertainment functions and / or those capable of supporting entertainment functions to be run. These entertainment functions include at least one of the following: navigation function, multimedia function, driver assistance function, voice control function, and connectivity function.

[0084] Both the instrument panel image 750 and the entertainment image 780 can be composed of one or more of text images, digital images, and shape images.

[0085] For example, motorcycle driving information can be represented by a combination of instrument panel text and digital images. For instance, the instrument panel text image might be "km / h" (a unit of measurement), and the instrument panel digital image might be "120," together forming the motorcycle driving information "120km / h (motorcycle speed)." Similarly, the instrument panel text image might be "GEAR" (gear position), and the instrument panel digital image might be "4," together forming the motorcycle driving information "4th gear." Furthermore, motorcycle driving information can also be represented by a combination of instrument panel text, digital images, and instrument panel shape images. For example, a circular image could represent a dial, digital images on the dial could represent the scale, the instrument panel text image could represent the unit of the scale, and a pointer icon could point to a specific scale, thus indicating the current scale value. Another example is using instrument panel shape images to represent motorcycle status information. Specifically, an instrument panel shape image could form the icon for a "front headlight indicator." Similarly, it could also form indicators for: battery indicator, oil indicator, front fog light indicator, coolant temperature warning light, low temperature display (snowflake), etc. It should be noted that the above are merely illustrative examples, and actual applications are not limited to these.

[0086] For example, in multimedia functions, entertainment text images display file names, playback modes, lyrics, or subtitles; entertainment digital images display playback duration; entertainment shape images display shapes such as musical notes or radios; and entertainment screens can be any image displayed to the user. Furthermore, entertainment shape images can also form entertainment function status icons 784 or entertainment shortcut icons 781.

[0087] The first and second display modes will be described in detail below.

[0088] First, regarding the first display mode, to distinguish it from the instrument image 750 and entertainment image 780 displayed in the second display mode, the term "first instrument image" is used here to refer to the instrument image 750 displayed on the display screen 72 in the first display mode. Unless otherwise specified, the description and limitations of the instrument image 750 in this embodiment apply to the first instrument image. Similarly, the term "first entertainment image" is used to refer to the entertainment image 780 displayed on the display screen 72 in the first display mode. Unless otherwise specified, the description and limitations of the entertainment image 780 also apply to the first entertainment image.

[0089] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the display interface of the screen in the first display mode in the embodiments of this application. Figure 6 This is a spatial arrangement diagram of the display areas in the first display mode of this application embodiment. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first display mode, the display interface of the display screen 72 may include a first instrument display area, a first entertainment display area, and a switchable display area.

[0090] Figure 6 The display screen shown has left and right sections 721 and 722 indicating a first instrument display area. This first instrument display area displays at least a portion of the first instrument images. Specifically, it displays necessary instrument images, such as the vehicle speed of 120 km / h and the 4th gear position, as shown in the figure. Understandably, these necessary instrument images are instrument information that the motorcycle 100 must provide to the driver during operation.

[0091] Figure 6 The central area 723 at the bottom shows a first entertainment display area. This first entertainment display area is used to display at least a portion of a first entertainment image. Specifically, for example, it displays entertainment shortcut icons 781. These entertainment shortcut icons 781 are used to prompt the user that the central control system 70 can provide entertainment functions, allowing the user to select them. Optionally, when the control component 71 detects a control command for these entertainment shortcut icons 781, the display screen 72 switches from a first display mode to a second display mode. Here, the entertainment shortcut icons 781 may include shortcut icons for navigation functions, multimedia functions, voice control functions, and interconnection functions, and may also include icons for settings, home, etc. The user can touch these shortcut icons to cause the display screen 72 to display the corresponding specific interface. Figure 4 Taking the musical note icon as an example, it is used to prompt the user that they can enter the music playback interface by controlling the musical note icon. In a specific embodiment, in the first display mode, the display screen 72 includes at least a main HOME icon. After the user touches the main HOME icon, the display screen 72 switches from the first display mode to the second display mode, and can display more shortcut icons for entertainment functions for the user to choose from in the second display mode.

[0092] Figure 6The central area 724 of the displayed interface also shows a switchable display area. This switchable display area is used to display a portion of the first instrument panel image and / or a portion of the first entertainment image. When the switchable display area displays a portion of the first instrument panel image, its content specifically refers to an instrument panel image 750 that can be hidden or displayed. This can be called a non-essential instrument panel image relative to the necessary ones, and it is displayed on the display screen 72 only when the driver needs to view it. For example, fuel consumption is 23L / 100km. When the switchable display area displays a portion of the first entertainment image, its content specifically refers to a simplified entertainment image 782. The simplified entertainment image 782 specifically displays only the necessary entertainment information in a simplified manner, relative to the complete entertainment image 785, to save display space. For example, for the navigation function, only the text image "North," the numerical image "39 meters," and the indicator image "Navigation Arrow" are displayed; a complete map is not displayed. The text image "North," the numerical image "39 meters," and the navigation arrow together form a simple navigation message: "Motorcycle heading north, turn right in 39 meters." Similarly, for multimedia playback functions, only partial text information, such as lyrics, is displayed.

[0093] The control component 71 is used to switch the switchable display area of ​​the display screen 72 from the first display screen to the second display screen when the central control system 70 receives a control command. Here, the first display screen can be the screen used to display a portion of the first instrument image, and the second display screen can be the screen used to display a portion of the first entertainment image. In addition, this application does not exclude the possibility that both the first display screen and the second display screen are screens used to display a portion of the first instrument image or both are screens used to display a portion of the first entertainment image. In this case, the first display screen and the second display screen display different instrument images 750 or different entertainment images 780.

[0094] The control command (referred to as the first control command for easy distinction) received by the central control system 70 for instructing the switchable display area to switch from the first display screen to the second display screen may include one of the following: a control command received based on a sliding touch operation on the display screen 72 targeting the switchable display area; a control command received based on a touch operation on the display screen 72 targeting the button icon 783 on the display screen (such as the left and right page turning buttons on the display screen being touched; to distinguish it from the control components in the control device 60, the button icon 783 on the display screen may also be referred to as a "soft button"); a control command received through a control component in the control device 60; or a voice control command received. Specifically, a control component in the control device 60 may be a physical button in the control device 60.

[0095] It should be understood that the aforementioned switchable display area is not a necessary area in the display interface of the first display mode. In some alternative embodiments, in the first display mode, the display interface of the display screen 72 may not include the switchable display area, that is, the display interface of the display screen 72 includes a first instrument display area and a first entertainment display area.

[0096] In the first display mode, the display interface of the display screen 72 may also include a status display area, for example... Figure 6 The top area 725 of the display interface of the central display screen. The status display area can also be used to display at least a portion of the first instrument image, but specifically to display images in the first instrument image that represent motorcycle status information. These images representing motorcycle status information can specifically be motorcycle status icons 751, such as the front headlight indicator icon, battery indicator icon, oil indicator icon, front fog light indicator icon, coolant temperature warning light icon, low temperature indicator icon, etc. For example, the front headlight indicator icon: when it is lit, it means the front headlight indicator is on; when it is off, it means the front headlight indicator is off. Similarly, the low fuel level indicator icon: when it is lit, it means the fuel level is below the required value; when it is off, it means the fuel level is above the required value. At least some of these motorcycle status icons 751 are also necessary instrument images. If the display interface does not include a status display area, the necessary motorcycle status icons 751 can also be displayed in the first instrument display area. In addition, the status display area can also be used to display at least a portion of the first entertainment image, specifically to display the entertainment function status icon 784. The entertainment function status icon 784 is used to indicate the current status of the entertainment functions provided by the central control system to the user. Specifically, it indicates the current status of the entertainment functions provided by the central control system, such as whether they are on or off, connected or not connected. For example, a "Bluetooth helmet icon," when lit, indicates that the Bluetooth headset is connected, and when the icon is off, it indicates that the Bluetooth headset is not connected. Therefore, each image (specifically each icon) in the status display area switches between a first state and a second state when a control command is received; for example, the first state and the second state are lit and off, respectively.

[0097] In addition to the aforementioned entertainment shortcut icon 781 and entertainment function status icon 784, the display screen 72 can also display a special type of entertainment image, referred to below as the first type of entertainment icon. The first type of entertainment icon includes, for example, a "Bluetooth connection icon" and a "telephone icon," which serve both function switching and status display purposes. When a user wants to turn on the Bluetooth function, they can click the "Bluetooth connection icon" on the display screen 72, and the "Bluetooth connection icon" will switch from an off state to an on state, making it easier for the user to use the relevant function. Furthermore, the "telephone icon" can represent function status information and also function as the entertainment shortcut icon 781. When the "telephone icon" is lit, it indicates that a call is pending or a call is being made. The user can answer or hang up the call by touching the "telephone icon." The first type of entertainment icon can be displayed in the aforementioned 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 is only for reference. Figure 4 The specific display interface shown describes the image displayed in the first display mode, but it does not constitute a limitation on the display interface of the screen in the first display mode.

[0099] For example, the aforementioned simplified entertainment image 782, the aforementioned entertainment shortcut icon 781, and the aforementioned entertainment function status icon 784 can be displayed in the same area or in different areas. For ease of explanation in this embodiment, the display areas of the display screen 72 in the first display mode are divided. In practical applications, this division is not limited to such a clear division; a display area can also be defined by the position occupied by an image representing complete information.

[0100] As an optional approach, the first entertainment image includes, and only includes, the entertainment shortcut icon 781. In other words, in the first display mode, it only prompts the user that the central control system can provide entertainment functions, without displaying specific information related to the entertainment functions.

[0101] As an alternative, the first entertainment image includes an entertainment shortcut icon 781, an entertainment function status icon 784, and / or a simple entertainment image 782.

[0102] In the first display mode, the ratio of the area occupied by the first instrument panel image on the display screen 72 to the area occupied by the first entertainment image on the display screen 72 can be between 3 and 20. Further, the ratio can range from 6 to 15. Even further, the ratio can be between 8 and 12. Thus, the aforementioned central control system 70 can display the instrument panel image 750 on the display screen 72 in a near-full-screen manner when the user does not need to use the entertainment function, making it easier for the user to view instrument information. Meanwhile, although the area occupied by the first entertainment image on the display screen 72 is relatively small, it can still be clearly displayed.

[0103] When the user needs to use the entertainment function, the display mode can be switched from the first display mode to the second display mode, thereby reducing the size of the instrument image 750 on the display screen 72 and / or hiding part of the instrument image 750, using the saved area to display the entertainment image 780. In this way, a display screen adjusts the displayed content and the area it occupies in different display modes.

[0104] Next, the second display mode will be described in detail. To distinguish it from the instrument image 750 and entertainment image 780 displayed in the first display mode, the term "second instrument image" is used here to refer to the instrument image 750 displayed on the display screen 72 in the second display mode. Unless otherwise specified, the description and limitations of the instrument image 750 in this embodiment apply to the second instrument image. Similarly, the term "second entertainment image" is used to refer to the entertainment image 780 displayed on the display screen 72 in the second display mode. Unless otherwise specified, the description and limitations of the entertainment image 780 also apply to the second entertainment image.

[0105] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the display interface of the screen in the second display mode according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 This is a spatial arrangement diagram of the display areas in the second display mode of this application embodiment. For example... Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in the second display mode, the display interface of the display screen 72 may include: a second instrument display area and a second entertainment display area.

[0106] The second instrument display area, for example Figure 7The left area 726 of the display screen shown is used to display second instrument images. Specifically, the second instrument display area displays at least the necessary instrument images, thus providing the user with instrument information that must be viewed during the operation of the motorcycle 100 in the second display mode. Furthermore, the second instrument display area may also display non-essential instrument images; this application does not specifically limit this. The left area 726 may display images representing motorcycle driving information, specifically, for example, a circular instrument.

[0107] Second entertainment display area, for example Figure 7 The display screen shown includes a right-center area 728 and a right-bottom area 729. A second entertainment display area is used to display a second entertainment image. Specifically, the second entertainment image may include a complete entertainment image 785. However, this application does not exclude the possibility that the second entertainment image may include a simplified entertainment image 782. The complete entertainment image 785 or the simplified entertainment image 782 may be displayed, for example, in the right-center area 728. The right-bottom area 729 may display, for example, entertainment shortcut icons 781. For details, refer to the entertainment shortcut icons 781 displayed in the first display mode; further details are omitted here. Of course, the entertainment shortcut icons 781 displayed in the second display mode may be the same as or different from those displayed in the first display mode. When the entertainment shortcut icons 781 displayed in the second display mode are different from those displayed in the first display mode, the number of entertainment shortcut icons 781 displayed in the second display mode may be greater than or equal to the number of entertainment shortcut icons 781 displayed in the first display mode.

[0108] In the second display mode, the number of instrument images 750 displayed on the display screen 72 can be less than the number of instrument images 750 displayed on the display screen 72 in the first display mode. Thus, by hiding some of the instrument images 750, the saved area is used to display the entertainment images 780. To ensure safe driving, even in the second display mode, necessary instrument images still need to be displayed on the display screen 72; therefore, the instrument images 750 displayed on the display screen 72 in the second display mode are partially the same as those displayed in the first display mode.

[0109] In the second display mode, the number of entertainment images 780 displayed on the screen 72 can be greater than the number of entertainment images 780 displayed on the screen 72 in the first display mode. Thus, the second display mode provides users with more convenient and comprehensive 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 in this application embodiment, the central control system 70 can control the same area (at least one first area 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 limitation caused by the instrument screen and the entertainment screen displaying corresponding images respectively.

[0119] Once the central control system 70 is started, the display screen 72 can operate in either the first display mode or the second display mode, and the first and second display modes can be switched. The specific position of any image displayed in either the first or second display mode can be predefined by the system with relevant coordinates. When displaying the image, it is only necessary to place the relevant image on the relevant coordinate system.

[0120] As an optional implementation, after the central control system 70 is started, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to first display images in a first display mode, and then display images in a second display mode. It is understood that after the central control system 70 is started, it first enters the first display mode, thereby providing the user with more complete and larger-screen instrument information. Then, according to the user's needs or default usage habits, it switches from the first display mode to the second display mode, thereby providing entertainment information.

[0121] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, it is not excluded that after the central control system 70 is started, the display screen 72 will first display the boot screen. If the boot screen is displayed, the system will enter the first display mode after the boot screen, and then enter the second display mode. In other words, after the central control system 70 is started, the first display mode can be entered before the second display mode.

[0122] The methods for switching from the first display mode to the second display mode may include: the second operating system automatically initiating the switching after the central control system 70 is started; switching based on preset instructions in the control component 71; the control component 71 detecting a control instruction to switch the entertainment shortcut icon 781 in the display interface of the screen in the first display mode; or the control component 71 detecting a display mode switching instruction and switching accordingly.

[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] Therefore, in the display modes including the first display mode and the second display mode, the display screen 72 can display both 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 depend on the support of the control component 71.

[0127] In this embodiment, the control component 71 may run at least two operating systems, such as at least a first operating system and a second operating system. Specifically, the control component controls the display screen 72 to display the instrument panel image 750 and the entertainment image 780 based on these at least two operating systems.

[0128] The first operating system is used to receive instrument information in real time during the operation 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, a first instrument image is displayed on the display screen 72 in a first display mode, and a second instrument image is displayed on the display screen 72 in a second display mode.

[0129] Because the display screen 72 needs to display the instrument image 750 in real time, the first operating system remains running throughout the operation of the motorcycle 100. After the central control system 70 is started, the first operating system automatically starts running. Furthermore, the first operating system starts running no later than the second operating system. In specific applications, the first operating system starts running earlier than the second operating system.

[0130] The primary operating system includes, for example, an RTOS system, a QNX system, or a Linux system. Specifically, the RTOS system can be FreeRTOS (a small real-time operating system).

[0131] The second operating system is used to run entertainment functions upon receiving control commands and to control the display screen 72 to display entertainment images 780 corresponding to the entertainment functions. 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 starts, the second operating system can also start and run automatically. The time required for the second operating system to start and run is generally longer than the time required for the first operating system to start and run.

[0133] The second operating system includes, for example, Android or Linux. Alternatively, other smart operating systems applicable to the mobile terminal 200 can also be used.

[0134] The first operating system and the second operating system are two different operating systems. In other words, at least two different operating systems run on the control component 71. For example, if the first operating system uses Linux, the second operating system does not use Linux.

[0135] Since a complete interface needs to be displayed on screen 72 at the same time, the images generated by each operating system need to be merged before being provided to screen 72 for display. The following will explain how the display interface on screen 72 is formed in the first display mode and the second display mode, respectively.

[0136] In the first display mode, the aforementioned 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 received instrument information. The instrument information is represented in the form of data within the control component 71, and therefore may also be referred to as "instrument data." The instrument information is specifically information related to the body of the motorcycle 100, and is sometimes also called "body information." The generated first instrument image is located on at least one layer.

[0137] The aforementioned 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 practical applications, some entertainment data can be provided by the second operating system in real time, such as the entertainment data required to generate the simplified entertainment image 782. Other entertainment data, such as the entertainment data required to generate the entertainment shortcut icon 781, since it does not change frequently, can be pre-stored in the storage space of the control component 71 without needing to be provided by the second operating system in real time. Thus, after the central control system 70 is started, the first display interface in the first display mode can be generated entirely based on the first operating system. The simplified entertainment image 782 may not be included in the first display interface, therefore all images can be generated without needing entertainment data 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. Regarding the entertainment function status icon 784, since the entertainment function is not yet enabled before the second operating system runs, the entertainment function status icon 784 can be in an off state. The first operating system can obtain the entertainment function status icon 784 based on pre-stored entertainment data. After the second operating system runs, the first operating system controls the generation of the entertainment function status icon 784 with a changed status 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 explanation, the layer containing the first instrument image is referred to as the first layer, and the layer containing the first entertainment image is referred to as the second layer. Thus, it can be seen that both the first layer and the second layer are generated under the control of the first operating system. Here, both the first layer and the second layer can refer to one or more layers.

[0138] Therefore, in the first display mode, both the instrument panel image 750 and the entertainment image 780 are generated under the control of the first operating system. As an optional implementation, in the first display mode, all images displayed on the 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 using graphic rendering.

[0140] The first and second layers are merged to form the first display interface, which is the display interface in the first display mode. The merging of the first and second layers is completed under the control of the first operating system.

[0141] To ensure that all images in the first display interface are clearly visible to the user, the images in the first layer and the images in the second layer do not obscure each other. For example, the image in the first layer occupies a portion of the interface, which also includes blank areas. The image in the second layer is placed within these blank areas. Thus, by superimposing the first and second layers, the images in the first layer and the second layer are displayed respectively in each area of ​​the first display interface. It should be understood that superimposing images to create special visual effects does not constitute image occlusion.

[0142] Furthermore, 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 a portion of the instrument panel image 750 and entertainment image 780 are generated under the control of the first operating system, and at least another portion of the instrument panel image 750 and entertainment image 780 are generated under the control of the second operating system.

[0144] In one specific implementation, the aforementioned second instrument image is generated under the control of the first operating system. Similar to the first display mode, the first operating system obtains the second instrument image based on the received instrument information. For ease of distinction, the layer containing the second instrument image is referred to as Layer 1. Layer 1 may refer to one layer or multiple layers.

[0145] At least a portion of the second entertainment image is generated under the control of the second operating system. The portion of the second entertainment image generated under the control of the second operating system includes the complete entertainment image 785, and may also include a simplified entertainment image 782. Figure 7 All images within the central right region 728 can be generated under the control of the second operating system. In an optional embodiment, some of the aforementioned second entertainment images may be generated under the control of the first operating system, such as the entertainment function status icon 784. Figure 7 The top area 727 includes both the motorcycle status icon 751 and the entertainment function status icon 784. All images within the top area 727 can be generated under the control of the first operating system; the layer containing these images is referred to as Layer 3. Furthermore, 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 in the form of a negative screen and / or a floating window.

[0151] As described above, in the second display mode, some of the second entertainment images can also be generated under the control of the first operating system. For example, entertainment shortcut icon 781. The first operating system obtains these partial entertainment images based on entertainment data. The entertainment data can be provided in real-time by the second operating system, or it can be entertainment data pre-stored in the storage space of the control component 71.

[0152] In the second display mode, both the first and second operating systems are running.

[0153] Furthermore, under the control of the first operating system, the second display interface is sent to the display screen 72 for display.

[0154] Thus, the first display mode and the second display mode are similar in that, in both modes, the display interface of the display screen 72 is generated by layer fusion of at least one layer containing the instrument image 750 and at least one layer containing the entertainment image 780, and this layer fusion is performed under the control of the first operating system. Furthermore, in both modes, 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] Understandably, the first and second operating systems run independently, but the images they generate are merged into a single display interface on screen 72 after being layered. Since the motorcycle 100 has different requirements for instrument and entertainment displays, using two different operating systems to control the instrument and entertainment functions separately avoids the problem of low system efficiency due to excessive load on a single system, and also avoids the problem of a single system being unable to meet the personalized requirements of the instrument and entertainment displays.

[0156] To run at least two operating systems, the control component 71 requires corresponding hardware support. Specifically, the control component 71 has at least two processing kernels, including a first processing kernel 711 and a second processing kernel 712. The first operating system runs on the first processing kernel 711, and the second operating system runs on the second processing kernel 712. In addition, the control component 71 may 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 practical applications, the control component 71 may include, for example, a System-on-Chip (SoC) 710 and multiple memory spaces. Furthermore, the control component 71 may also include a Microcontroller Unit (MCU). Please refer to [link / reference here]. Figure 13The diagram shows the structure of the control component.

[0158] like Figure 13 As shown, the multiple storage spaces may include the aforementioned first storage space 716, second storage space 717 and third storage space 718.

[0159] At least two processing cores and the aforementioned graphics mixing module 713 can reside in the SoC chip 710. The first processing core 711 and the second processing core 712 can also be referred to as the first core and the second core, or B core and A core, respectively. A first storage space 716 and a second storage space 717 can be connected to the SoC chip 710. The first storage space 716 corresponds to the first processing core 711 (or the first operating system) and is used to store data under the control of the first operating system. The second storage space 717 corresponds to the second processing core 712 (or the second operating system) and is used to store data under the control of the second operating system.

[0160] Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic architecture driving the display screen in an embodiment of this application. Figure 14 As shown, in order to coordinate the synchronous operation of the first operating system and the second operating system, the first processing kernel 711 running the first operating system can be selected as the main processing kernel. The main processing kernel is responsible for the startup timing management of the entire central control system 70.

[0161] As a specific implementation, the first processing kernel 711 runs the FreeRTOS system, and the second processing kernel 712 runs the Android system. During the motorcycle's operation, the first operating system needs to run in real time to avoid interruptions. The FreeRTOS system running on the first processing kernel 711 has the advantages of stability, security, and low crash rate; therefore, the first processing kernel 711, as the main processing kernel, can ensure the real-time acquisition of instrument data, thereby ensuring driver safety. The Android system running on the second processing kernel 712 may support rich and intelligent entertainment functions, which is difficult for the FreeRTOS system to achieve. However, the Android system has the risk of crashing during use. If the second processing kernel 712 running Android is used as the main processing kernel, the display screen 72 may crash during driving, posing a safety hazard.

[0162] Here, the first processing kernel 711 serves as the main processing kernel, used to control the operation of the graphics blending module 713.

[0163] In practical applications, images generated under the control of the first operating system are stored in the first storage space 716, while images generated under the control of the second operating system are stored in the second storage space 717. The image storage process can also be controlled by the corresponding operating system. Specifically, the image storage process can be implemented using a virtual graphics driver. For example, the first operating system running on the first processing kernel 711 stores the generated first instrument image in the first storage space 716 via a virtual graphics driver.

[0164] In the first display mode, the graphics blending module 713 is used to overlay and merge the images stored in the first storage space 716 (existing as layers) according to a pre-set overlay logic to form a first display interface. The first display interface is then stored in the third storage space 718. In the second display mode, the graphics blending module 713 is used to overlay and merge the images stored in the first storage space 716 and the second storage space 717 (existing as layers) according to a pre-set overlay logic to form a second display interface.

[0165] A first operating system running on a first processing kernel 711 controls the display unit to acquire a first display interface or a second display interface stored in a 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 or second display interface can be output from a video output interface (e.g., HDMI) to the display screen 72 via LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) video output to drive the display screen 72 to display and realize the first or second display mode.

[0167] The layer blending in this embodiment can be achieved through the hardware module 713, which is more efficient than layer blending through software.

[0168] It should be noted that although in the above embodiments the first processing core 711 and the second processing core 712 are located in a single SoC chip 710, the embodiments of this application do not exclude the possibility that they are located in different chips, and this application does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0169] The first storage space 716 and the second storage space 717 can be the same physical memory, communicating via memory sharing. This same physical memory is mapped to the respective process address spaces of the second and first operating systems, enabling shared memory between the two operating systems. The first operating system can instantly view updates made by the second operating system to the shared memory, and vice versa. Since multiple systems and units share the same memory region, synchronization mechanisms are needed, such as mutexes or semaphores. The SoC chip 710 has a memory interface (Memory I / F) 714, through which the first and second operating systems transmit data with the first storage space 716 and the second storage space 717.

[0170] One obvious advantage of using shared memory communication is its high efficiency, because the first and second operating systems can directly read and write memory (e.g., directly read and write) the first storage space 716 and the second storage space 717. Shared memory only copies data twice: once from the input file to the shared memory area, and once from the shared memory area to the output file. In practice, when the first and second operating systems share memory, they don't always unmap the memory after reading and writing a small amount of data and then re-establish the shared memory area when new communication begins; instead, they maintain the shared area until communication is complete. Thus, the data content is always stored in the shared memory and is not written back to the file. The content in the shared memory is often only written back to the file when the mapping is unmapped. Therefore, using shared memory communication can achieve high efficiency and also save data storage resources.

[0171] The FreeRTOS system can also run on the MCU 715. The FreeRTOS system running on the MCU 715 is used for management and control, such as power management. The MCU 715 is electrically connected to the SoC chip 710.

[0172] The first operating system running on the first processing kernel 711 and the second operating system running on the second processing kernel 712 need to exchange data during operation. The information exchanged includes, but is not limited to: instrument information, central control system information, CAN messages, time information, and diagnostic information.

[0173] Optionally, inter-process communication between the first processing kernel 711 and the second processing kernel 712 adopts the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) framework. RPC is a concept that allows a program on a remote computer to request services over a network without needing to understand the underlying network technology. In this embodiment, a process on the first processing kernel 711 calls a process on the second processing kernel 712. The calling process on the first processing kernel 711 is suspended, while the called process on the second processing kernel 712 begins execution. When a value is returned to the first processing kernel 711, the first processing kernel 711 process continues execution, and vice versa. The caller can transmit information to the callee using parameters and then obtain the information from the returned result. Using the RPC framework for inter-process communication between the first processing kernel 711 and the second processing kernel 712 can prevent resource contention between them and coordinate their processes.

[0174] To give a specific example: In the language setting operation, the user sets the language option on the second operating system of the second processing kernel 712. This setting information is synchronously transmitted to the first operating system on the first processing kernel 711 through the communication protocol to realize the synchronous update of the system language, and then further transmitted to the display screen 72.

[0175] In addition to memory sharing, the first processing kernel 711 and the second processing kernel 712 also complete image transmission through mechanisms such as virtual I / O.

[0176] The graphics refresh rate of the first processing kernel 711 and the second processing kernel 712 can be set according to the display requirements of the driving device. The graphics refresh rate of the first processing kernel 711 is greater than or equal to the graphics refresh rate of the second processing kernel 712. Optionally, the graphics refresh rate of the first processing kernel 711 is 60fps, and the graphics refresh rate of the second processing kernel 712 is 60fps or 30fps. It should be understood that the graphics refresh rate of the first processing kernel 711 specifically refers to the graphics refresh rate of the first operating system. Similarly, the graphics refresh rate of the second processing kernel 712 specifically refers to the graphics refresh rate of the second operating system.

[0177] It is understood that the central control system 70 provided in this application is not limited to application on the motorcycle 100. Those skilled in the art, without inventive effort, can also apply it to other driving devices, and such applications should fall within the scope of protection of this application. The central control system 70 can be applied to any type of real or virtual driving device. Here, driving devices include, but are not limited to: motorcycles, motorboats, tractors, passenger cars, airplanes, airships, etc.

[0178] Based on the aforementioned electronic architecture of the control component 71, the central control system 70 can provide users with richer and more convenient functions and human-computer interaction methods.

[0179] First, the central control system 70 can provide a variety of entertainment functions, as mentioned above, including at least: navigation, multimedia, driver assistance, voice control, and connectivity.

[0180] For the navigation function, the existing navigation function can be used, which will not be elaborated here.

[0181] Multimedia functions include, but are not limited to, radio playback, playback of audio or video files stored in built-in or external storage devices, and gaming functions. External storage devices include, for example, a USB flash drive plugged into the motorcycle 100, and a mobile terminal 200 wirelessly connected to the motorcycle 100. Accordingly, the motorcycle 100 provides a USB flash drive insertion port 65, which may be located on the control device 60, for example; no specific limitation is made here. The mobile terminal 200 may include a mobile phone 201, and may also include a wearable device 202. The control component 71 is also used to control the display screen 70 to play multimedia files stored in the built-in or external storage devices.

[0182] To ensure driving safety, control component 71 is also used to control display screen 72 to pause the display of video files and game functions to the user while the motorcycle 100 is in motion. As an optional implementation, the video file playback and game functions are temporarily unavailable to the user while the motorcycle 100 is in motion. The video file playback and game functions can only operate when the motorcycle 100 is stationary. Alternatively, the video file playback and game functions can operate while the motorcycle 100 is in motion, but the corresponding images are not displayed on display screen 72.

[0183] The central control system 70 also supports driver assistance functions. Specifically, the central control system 70 can receive video files from the camera assembly 81 mounted on the vehicle frame 10, and control the display screen 72 to display the video files based on the control assembly 71. The central control system 70 can also receive radar data from the radar assembly 82 mounted on the vehicle frame 10, and control the display screen 72 to issue alarm information to the user based on the control assembly 71. The alarm information can be presented in the form of images and / or sounds. In addition, the central control system 70 can also fuse the received video files and radar data, and control the display screen 72 to provide the fused information to the user based on the control assembly 71.

[0184] For voice control, the central control system 70 can receive voice information directly or through an external device such as wearable device 202. The control component 71 recognizes the voice information locally or through the cloud 300 and generates corresponding control commands.

[0185] Furthermore, the interconnectivity functionality includes the interconnection between the central control system 70 and the mobile terminal 200. As mentioned earlier, the mobile terminal 200 may include a mobile phone 201, and may also include a wearable device 202, etc. The interconnection methods between the central control system 70 and the mobile terminal 200 include, but are not limited to, Bluetooth connection. The central control system 70 can interact with the mobile terminal 200 to project the content displayed on the mobile terminal 200 onto the display screen 72. In addition, functions supported on the mobile terminal 200 can be mapped to the display screen 72, using the display screen 72 as an input device and / or output device to achieve corresponding functions, such as the function of answering or making phone calls.

[0186] To help users understand how to use the various functions, the central control system 70 can also provide a new user guidance function. Specifically, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to display a new user guidance function icon, and when a control command for the new user guidance function icon is triggered, the display screen 72 displays the usage methods of various functions to the user.

[0187] Secondly, the central control system 70 can also provide setting functions for various components of the motorcycle 100. These setting functions include: setting the driving mode, setting the temperature of the steering control components, setting the seat temperature, setting the audio channels, setting the display brightness, and setting the volume. Understandably, some of these setting functions are also available on motorcycles with similar technology, but primarily through physical buttons located on the motorcycle. Users can only set these functions one by one via buttons, which may result in slow response times and is very inconvenient. Some physical buttons are frequently used and are also prone to damage and malfunction. The central control system 70's setting functions allow for multiple function settings to be performed on a single display interface on the screen 72, making it more convenient to use. In practical applications, the central control system 70 provides setting functions for various components of the motorcycle 100, which can be supported by a second operating system, such as Android. This allows for faster response times.

[0188] The central control system 70 supports saving and recalling various settings input by the user. Specifically, when receiving input for a setting function, the control display screen 72 displays a first icon to indicate whether the user wants to save the input. A second icon can also be displayed to indicate whether the user wants to use a default name corresponding to the input, or whether a new name can be entered. The input can be for setting one function or multiple functions. When receiving a user instruction to use a setting function, the control display screen 72 displays an image corresponding to the saved input, such as an image showing the default name or a new name. When receiving a control instruction from the user for this image, a first function control instruction is output, instructing the corresponding components of the motorcycle 100 to perform the function adjustment corresponding to the input. The display image corresponding to the setting function can be displayed as a floating window on the display screen 72 (see reference). Figure 17 (Floating window 792). As a specific implementation, the image corresponding to the above-mentioned setting function is displayed in the second display mode. Furthermore, to avoid affecting the display of the instrument panel image, the image corresponding to the above-mentioned setting function is displayed in the second entertainment display area.

[0189] The above description, in conjunction with specific application scenarios, has basically mentioned the various human-computer interaction methods supported by the central control system 70 in the embodiments of this application. The following section will elaborate on these methods in detail.

[0190] Users can control the central control system 70 in the following ways: by touching the display screen 72, by voice control, and by operating the control components in the control device 60.

[0191] The central control system 70 is controlled via touch control of the display screen 72. Specifically, the display screen 72 is a touchscreen, which includes an LCD screen and a touch cover covering the LCD screen. The display screen 72 implements touch functionality based on the touch cover. In addition, the display screen 72 also supports fingerprint recognition and iris recognition, enabling unlocking of the central control system 70 through fingerprint or iris recognition. As described above, during the switching between the first and second display modes, if the motorcycle 100 is detected to be in motion, the touch function of the display screen 72 is locked. In practical applications, to ensure driving safety, when the motorcycle 100 starts moving, the touch function of the display screen 72 can be turned off based on the control component 71, and the display screen 72 is in a non-touch control state. When the motorcycle 100 stops moving, the touch function of the display screen 72 can be turned on based on the control component 71, and the display screen 72 is in a touch control state.

[0192] Voice control can be enabled after the central control system 70 starts up and disabled when the central control system 70 shuts down. During the startup of the central control system 70, if it detects that the central control system 70 is providing call services to the user, voice control will be disabled during the call. In practical applications, functions that can be achieved through touch or controllable devices via the central control system 70 can also be achieved through voice control. For details regarding voice control reception, please refer to the previous description; it will not be repeated here.

[0193] Control of the central control system 70 is achieved by operating the control components in the control device 60. Specifically, the control device 60 of the motorcycle 100 includes multiple control components, such as buttons, knobs, and toggle switches. When at least one of these control components is operated, the central control system 70 receives a control command and executes the corresponding operation based on the command. For ease of explanation, the control component with the above functions is referred to as the central control control component 64. It is understood that the central control system 70 supports multiple functions, some of which are frequently used or require timely operation. Operating the central control control component 64 allows for convenient and efficient human-machine interaction with the central control system 70. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control device 60 is not only used to control the operation of the motorcycle 100 but also to control the operation of the central control system 70 based on the central control control component 64. Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, during the operation of the motorcycle 100, since the touch function of the display screen 72 is turned off, the user can control the central control system 70 by operating the central control control component 64.

[0194] Operations on the central control unit 64 can include normal pressing, long pressing, and continuous pressing. For clarity, normal pressing is referred to as a first-time-length pressing, which is an instantaneous press that is released immediately after being pressed. Long pressing requires holding the button for a certain period, such as 1 second, and is referred to as a second-time-length pressing. Continuous pressing requires holding the button for an even longer time, such as 10 seconds, and can be referred to as a third-time-length pressing. Clearly, the third-time-length is longer than the second-time-length, and the second-time-length is longer than the first-time-length. Furthermore, operations on the central control unit 64 can also include pressing two buttons simultaneously, rotating, or tossing. Of course, this application does not exclude the possibility of pressing three or more buttons simultaneously.

[0195] Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of some central control components in the embodiments of this application. As shown in the figure, the central control component 64 may include a first control component 641, a second control component 642, a third control component 643, a fourth control component 644, a fifth control component 645, a sixth control component 646, and a seventh control component 647.

[0196] The first control element 641, the second control element 642, the third control element 643, and the fourth control element 644 are respectively the upper control element, the lower control element, the left control element, and the right control element, and can also be referred to as the upper button, the lower button, the left button, and the right button. All four control elements can be triangular, with their vertices pointing in different directions. This allows users to easily determine their function based on their shape; for example, the upper and lower control elements can be used to switch options, and the left and right control elements can be used to adjust the volume. As mentioned earlier, the central control system 70 receiving the first control command can include receiving the control command through one of the control elements in the control device 60. In practical applications, the first control command can be received through the left and right control elements.

[0197] The fifth control element 645, located in the middle, can activate or deactivate voice control; it can be referred to as a voice control element. When the user presses the voice button, the vehicle's voice assistant can be displayed on the screen 72. Based on the activation of the vehicle's voice assistant, voice control of the central control system 70 can be achieved. When the central control system 70 is connected to the mobile terminal 200, pressing the voice button will receive voice information on the mobile terminal 200. The control element could be, for example, a center button.

[0198] The sixth control unit 646, located on the lower left, can bring up the negative screen 791 and / or the floating window 792, providing convenience for users to quickly view vehicle information and use setting functions. It can be referred to as an Fn button or a function control unit. Whether the negative screen 791 or the floating window 792 is brought up based on the sixth control unit 646 can be achieved through different operations on the sixth control unit 646. Specifically, in response to the central control system 70 receiving a control command corresponding to a first-duration press based on the sixth control unit 646, the floating window 792 is brought up on the display screen 72; in response to the central control system 70 receiving a control command corresponding to a second-duration press based on the sixth control unit 646, the negative screen 791 is brought up on the display screen 72; where the second duration is different from the first duration. For example, when the sixth control unit 646 receives a normal press operation, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to display the floating window 792; when the sixth control unit 646 receives a long press operation, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to display the negative screen 791.

[0199] In practical applications, the negative screen 791 and floating window 792 are, for example, set to be invoked only in the second display mode. In the first display mode, when the central control unit 64 receives control commands from the user based on the sixth control unit 646 (e.g., a signal indicating the user pressed the Fn key), the control component 71 may not perform any operation, thus the user's press is considered an invalid operation. The shape of the sixth control unit 646 differs from the shapes of the aforementioned control units, which facilitates the user's quick location and manipulation of the control unit. As a specific implementation, the sixth control unit 646 is rectangular. Further, the sixth control unit 646 can be a rectangle with rounded corners.

[0200] Considering that the driver needs to hold the steering control component 61 while driving, in order to facilitate the driver's operation of the above-mentioned control components while ensuring driving safety, the central control component 64 can be located around the steering control component 61 (please refer to...). Figure 1 When the steering control assembly 61 is specifically a grip assembly, the center console control 64 can be located around the left grip 611 or the right grip 612. The distance between the center console control 64 and the steering control assembly 61 (with the left grip 611 or the right grip 612) does not exceed 25 cm. Optionally, the distance between them is within 10 cm.

[0201] The following section will provide a detailed explanation of how to operate the central control unit 64 using specific examples.

[0202] Figure 16 This is a flowchart illustrating the control method of the central control unit in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 16 As shown:

[0203] In step S01, the central control unit 64 receives a signal from the user pressing the Fn key 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 the Fn key setting page on the display interface, and the image corresponding to the first function is highlighted in the Fn key setting page.

[0205] The settings page corresponds to the aforementioned floating window 792 for setting functions of each component of the motorcycle 100. See also... Figure 17 The display screen 72 shows various configurable functions, such as driving mode, screen brightness, heated grips, heated seat, audio channels, and navigation volume. The corresponding option boxes can be checked or unchecked. Here, driving mode is referred to as the first function, screen brightness as the second function, and so on, in ascending order.

[0206] Specifically, the handlebar heating is a concrete example of setting the temperature of the aforementioned directional control component 61. Similarly, the seat heating is a concrete example of setting the temperature of the aforementioned seat 50. The screen brightness corresponds to setting the brightness of the display screen 72. The navigation volume is a concrete example of setting the aforementioned volume.

[0207] In step S03, it is determined whether the user is adjusting the left and right buttons;

[0208] In step S04, if the user is adjusting the left and right buttons, then the relevant parameters of the first function are adjusted.

[0209] In step S05, if the user is not adjusting the left and right buttons, it is determined whether the user will continue to press the Fn button.

[0210] In step S06, if the user continues to press the Fn key, the control component 71 controls the display screen 72 to highlight the image corresponding to the second function on the display interface;

[0211] Repeat steps S03-S06;

[0212] In step S07, if the user stops pressing the Fn key, the Fn key function will be deactivated after the waiting time exceeds a preset duration. The preset duration is, for example, 3-5 seconds.

[0213] In summary, the control component 71 receives control commands from the user based on at least a portion of the central control unit 64, and controls the display screen 72 to display an image corresponding to the setting function based on the received control commands. For ease of explanation, the control command in step S01 is referred to as the second control command. The second control command is received, for example, through the sixth control unit 646. Referring to step S02, the second control command is used to invoke the display interface corresponding to the setting function (e.g., invoke the floating window 792). Furthermore, referring to steps S03-S06, the control commands in steps S03-S06 are referred to as the third control command. The third control command is received, for example, through the sixth control unit 646, as well as the third control unit 643 and the fourth control unit 644. The third control command is used to set each setting item in the setting function. Specifically, at least one setting item is set based on the third control unit 643 and the fourth control unit 644, and the sixth control unit 646 switches which setting item is in a settable state.

[0214] Figure 18 A schematic diagram of the display interface for setting the handle heating function is shown. As shown, this schematic diagram indicates that when the image corresponding to the handle heating function is highlighted, if a signal is received from the user adjusting the left and right buttons, the display screen 72 will display this interface. In this display interface, the operation of adjusting the left and right buttons will be displayed on the display screen 72 with the corresponding image.

[0215] Figure 19 A schematic diagram of the display interface for setting the volume adjustment function is shown. As illustrated, this diagram shows that when the image corresponding to the volume adjustment is highlighted, if a signal is received from the user pressing the left or right adjustment buttons, the display screen 72 will display this interface. If a signal is received from the user pressing the right button, the volume is increased, and the display interface on screen 72 will appear as follows. Figure 19 As shown in the lower image. Conversely, if a signal is received that the user has pressed the left button, the volume is turned down, and the display interface on screen 72 is as follows. Figure 19 As shown in the upper middle figure.

[0216] In addition, the seventh control element 647 can be a custom control element, specifically a custom button, which has corresponding signal transmission functions based on the user's custom settings.

[0217] It is understandable that, in this embodiment of the application, by adding a central control unit 64 to the control device 60 of the motorcycle 100, the control of the central control system 70 can be achieved more conveniently and quickly. During driving, the driver does not need to touch the display screen 72, thus ensuring driving safety. It should be understood that...
