Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor vehicle technology, and in particular to a touch screen gear shifting device, a touch screen key, an automobile, and a gear shifting method. Background Technology

[0002] Under normal circumstances, the gear shifting device selects the gear level of the vehicle's transmission using a selector lever or shift lever mechanism located within the driver's grip area. The gear shifting device includes at least one shift channel through which the selector lever or shift lever can mechanically move to select the gear level. Common gear levels include reverse driving "R" and forward driving "D", neutral "N", and parking lock "P". Some gear levels also include manual upshift "+" and manual downshift "-". Other known mode buttons may also be included, such as "S" for sport mode. However, the selector lever or shift lever mechanism requires considerable structural space and is not always intuitive or easy to operate.

[0003] With the increasing prevalence of automotive electronics, many cars have adopted touchscreens for gear shifting. For example, one type of touchscreen in the prior art has at least one display segment for displaying the selectable gear level and a touch segment for selecting the displayed gear level. The display segment and the touch segment constitute a common display and touch area, which respectively displays the sequentially arranged letter symbols R, N, and D for the selectable gear levels.

[0004] Among the various methods mentioned above, switching between the commonly used R and D gears requires passing through N gear, which can easily lead to accidental shifting into N gear. Therefore, it is necessary to make certain improvements based on this. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a touch screen gear shifting device, a touch screen key, a car and a gear shifting method, which can solve the problem of accidentally shifting to N gear when shifting between R gear and D gear.

[0006] The specific technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0007] A touchscreen gear shifter, the touchscreen gear shifter comprising:

[0008] Touch screen;

[0009] A processor is configured to detect a trigger operation that causes a device to be touched from a first display and touch area and move along a first preset trajectory to a second display and touch area, in order to switch from a backward gear to a forward gear; or, a trigger operation that causes a device to be touched from the second display and touch area and move along the first preset trajectory to the first display and touch area, in order to switch from the forward gear to the backward gear; the first preset trajectory is at least a portion of a line segment from the first display and touch area to the second display and touch area;

[0010] The touch screen includes a first display and touch area, a second display and touch area, and a third display and touch area. The first display and touch area is used to display and select reverse gear, the second display and touch area is used to display and select forward gear, and the third display and touch area is used to display and select neutral gear.

[0011] The third display and touch area is not located on the first preset trajectory.

[0012] Preferably, the third display and touch area is located on one side of the line segment formed from the first display and touch area to the second display and touch area.

[0013] Preferably, in the straight line direction formed by the first display and touch area and the second display and touch area, the third display and touch area is located between the first display and touch area and the second display and touch area.

[0014] Preferably, the first display and touch area, the second display and touch area, and the third display and touch area are arranged in a triangular pattern.

[0015] Preferably, the touch screen has a fingerprint detection unit, which is used to detect the user's fingerprint when the first display and touch area, the second display and touch area, or the third display and touch area is touched. The processor is used to receive the user's fingerprint detected by the fingerprint detection unit and compare it with a stored preset fingerprint. If the requirements are met, the gear can be switched.

[0016] An automobile includes a touchscreen gear shifter as described in any of the above descriptions.

[0017] A touchscreen key, the touchscreen key including a touchscreen shift device as described in any of the above.

[0018] A shifting method employing any of the above-described touchscreen shifting devices, the shifting method comprising:

[0019] The system acquires a gesture operation on the touch screen and determines whether the gesture operation meets a preset trigger condition. The preset trigger condition includes: the first display and touch area is touched and moves to the second display and touch area via a first preset trajectory; or the second display and touch area is touched and moves to the first display and touch area via the first preset trajectory; the first preset trajectory does not pass through the third display and touch area.

[0020] Under the preset trigger conditions, the gear is switched according to the gesture operation.

[0021] Preferably, the preset triggering conditions include: the first display and touch area is touched for a duration that satisfies a first preset time and then moves to the second display and touch area via a first preset trajectory, and the second display and touch area is touched for a duration that satisfies a second preset time; or the second display and touch area is touched for a duration that satisfies a first preset time and then moves to the first display and touch area via a first preset trajectory, and the first display and touch area is touched for a duration that satisfies a second preset time.

[0022] Preferably, determining the gear shift based on the gesture operation includes:

[0023] Detect the fingerprint of the object touching the first display and touch area or the second display and touch area to obtain the user's fingerprint;

[0024] If the user's fingerprint meets the requirements, the gear will be switched according to the gesture operation.

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention has the following significant beneficial effects:

[0026] The touchscreen gear shifting device in this application prevents accidental shifting of gears because the third display and touch areas are not located on the first preset trajectory. When a user switches between forward and reverse gears, their finger touches the touchscreen, triggering a movement from the first display and touch area along the first preset trajectory to the second display and touch area, or vice versa. This determines whether the user is shifting from reverse to forward or vice versa. During this process, the user's finger will not accidentally move to the third display and touch area, preventing accidental shifts from forward to neutral or vice versa. The touchscreen gear shifting device in this application effectively prevents accidental shifting during gear changes.

[0035] To address the issue of accidental shifting to neutral (N) when changing gears between R and D, this application proposes a touchscreen gear shifting device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a touchscreen gear shifting device in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1As shown, the touchscreen gear shifting device 100 may include: a touchscreen 1; and a processor (not shown) for monitoring trigger operations that cause a device to be touched from a first display and touch area 11 and move along a first preset trajectory 14 to a second display and touch area 12, thereby shifting from reverse gear to forward gear, or a device to be touched from the second display and touch area 12 and move along the first preset trajectory 14 to the first display and touch area 11, thereby shifting from forward gear to reverse gear; the first preset trajectory 14 is at least a portion of the line segment from the first display and touch area to the second display and touch area 12; wherein, a first display and touch area 11, a second display and touch area 12, and a third display and touch area 13 are generated on the touchscreen 1, the first display and touch area 11 is used to display and select reverse gear, the second display and touch area 12 is used to display and select forward gear, and the third display and touch area 13 is used to display and select neutral gear; the third display and touch area 13 is not located on the first preset trajectory 14.

[0036] The touchscreen gear shifting device 100 in this application prevents accidental shifting of gears because the third display and touch area 13 is not located on the first preset trajectory 14. Therefore, when a user switches between forward and reverse gears, their finger touches the touchscreen 1, triggering a movement from the first display and touch area 11 along the first preset trajectory 14 to the second display and touch area 12, or vice versa. This determines whether the user is shifting from reverse to forward or vice versa. During this process, the user's finger will not accidentally move to the third display and touch area 13, preventing accidental shifts from forward to neutral or vice versa. The touchscreen gear shifting device 100 in this application effectively prevents accidental shifting during gear changes.

[0037] To better understand the touchscreen gear shifting device 100 in this application, it will be further explained and described below. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the touchscreen gear shifter 100 may include a touchscreen 1 and a processor. The touchscreen gear shifter 100 can be installed in any vehicle, allowing users to perform various operation commands by touching and swiping on the touchscreen 1. The processor is electrically connected to the touchscreen 1 and is used to monitor trigger operations on the touchscreen 1 and determine gear shifting based on the trigger operations.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, a first display and touch area 11, a second display and touch area 12, and a third display and touch area 13 can be generated on the touch screen 1. The first display and touch area 11 is used to display and select the reverse gear, the second display and touch area 12 is used to display and select the forward gear, and the third display and touch area 13 is used to display and select the neutral gear.

[0039] As an option, when a user faces the touchscreen 1, the end of the touchscreen 1 closest to the user or facing downwards is designated as the lower end, and the end of the touchscreen 1 furthest from the user or facing upwards is designated as the upper end. The first display and touch area 11 can be located near the upper end of the touchscreen 1, and the second display and touch area 12 can be located near the lower end of the touchscreen 1. The first and second display and touch areas 11 and 12 are located on a vertically extending line segment. This arrangement facilitates user finger operation; after touching either the first or second display and touch area 11, the user can simply slide their finger vertically to switch between the two areas. In other feasible embodiments, the first display and touch area 11 can be located near the lower end of the touchscreen 1, and the second display and touch area 12 can be located near the upper end of the touchscreen 1. The first and second display and touch areas 11 and 12 are located on a vertically extending line segment.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the third display and touch area 13 is not located on the first preset trajectory 14. The third display and touch area 13 is located on one side of the straight line formed from the first display and touch area to the second display and touch area 12. For example, as Figure 1 As shown, the third display and touch area 13 is located to the left of the line formed by the first display and touch area and the second display and touch area 12. In another possible embodiment, the third display and touch area 13 is located to the right of the line formed by the first display and touch area and the second display and touch area 12.

[0041] Preferably, in the straight line formed by the first display and touch area 12 and the second display and touch area 12, the third display and touch area 13 is located between the first display and touch area 12 and the second display and touch area 12. In this manner, compared to arranging the first, third, and second display and touch areas in a straight line in the vertical direction, the vertical length of the touchscreen 1 can be effectively shortened, making the entire touchscreen 1 more square and compact. This reduces the vertical length of the touchscreen gear shifter 100, making the entire touchscreen gear shifter 100 more compact. When the touchscreen gear shifter 100 is a touchscreen key, it is easier for the user to hold, improving comfort.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the first display and touch area 11, the second display and touch area 12, and the third display and touch area 13 are arranged in a triangular pattern. In particular, when the third display and touch area 13 is located between the first display and touch area and the second display and touch area 12 along the straight line formed by the first display and touch area and the second display and touch area 12, the first display and touch area 11, the second display and touch area 12, and the third display and touch area 13 are arranged in an acute-angled triangle.

[0043] The processor is configured to detect a trigger operation whereby the first display and touch area 11 is touched and moves along a first preset trajectory 14 to the second display and touch area 12, thereby switching from a reverse gear to a forward gear; or, a trigger operation whereby the second display and touch area 12 is touched and moves along the first preset trajectory 14 to the first display and touch area 11, thereby switching from a forward gear to a reverse gear. The first preset trajectory 14 is at least a portion of a line segment from the first display and touch area to the second display and touch area 12. Preferably, the first preset trajectory 14 is a line segment from the first display and touch area to the second display and touch area 12.

[0044] When a user needs to switch between forward and reverse gears, their finger touches the touchscreen 1. The trigger operation involves the finger moving from the first display and touch area 11 along a first preset trajectory 14 to the second display and touch area 12, or being touched from the second display and touch area 12 and moving along the first preset trajectory 14 to the first display and touch area 11. When the trigger operation involves the finger moving from the first display and touch area 11 along the first preset trajectory 14 to the second display and touch area 12, the processor determines that the user needs to switch from reverse to forward gear. When the trigger operation involves the finger moving from the second display and touch area 12 along the first preset trajectory 14 to the first display and touch area 11, the processor determines that the user needs to switch from forward to reverse gear. During this process, since the third display and touch area 13 is not located on the first preset trajectory 14, the user's finger will not accidentally move to the third display and touch area 13, thus preventing accidental shifts from forward to neutral or vice versa. The touchscreen gear shifting device 100 in this application can effectively prevent accidental operation during gear shifting.

[0045] As an option, the touchscreen 1 can have a fingerprint detection unit, which can be electrically connected to the processor. The fingerprint detection unit can be integrated into the touchscreen 1, and can be specifically set in one or more areas of the touchscreen 1 as needed. The fingerprint detection unit is used to detect the user's fingerprint when the first display and touch area 11, the second display and touch area 12, or the third display and touch area 13 is touched. The processor receives the user's fingerprint detected by the fingerprint detection unit and compares it with a stored preset fingerprint. If the requirement is met, i.e., the detected user fingerprint is the same as the stored preset fingerprint, then gear shifting can be performed. Through the above method, on the one hand, it can determine whether the user is the owner, preventing thieves from using the touchscreen gear shifter 100 or the car after the theft; on the other hand, it can prevent unintended gear shifting caused by other parts of the user or others accidentally touching the touchscreen 1, thereby avoiding accidents.

[0046] Alternatively, the processor can detect that the third display and touch area 13 is touched to shift from forward or reverse to neutral, thereby meeting the user's need to shift from forward or reverse to neutral. When the touchscreen gear shifter 100 is in neutral, the processor can detect that the first display and touch area 11 is touched to shift from neutral to reverse, thereby meeting the user's need to shift from neutral to reverse. When the touchscreen gear shifter 100 is in neutral, the processor can also detect that the second display and touch area 12 is touched to shift from neutral to forward, thereby meeting the user's need to shift from neutral to forward.

[0047] In other feasible implementations, the processor can detect a trigger operation in which the first display and touch area 11 is touched and moves along a second preset trajectory to the third display and touch area 13, so as to switch from the reverse gear to the neutral gear; or, the third display and touch area 13 is touched and moves along a second preset trajectory to the first display and touch area 11, so as to switch from the neutral gear to the reverse gear. The second preset trajectory is at least a portion of the line segment from the first display and touch area to the third display and touch area 13.

[0048] The processor can also detect trigger operations where the second display and touch area 12 is touched and moves to the third display and touch area 13 via a third preset trajectory to switch from forward gear to neutral gear, or trigger operations where the third display and touch area 13 is touched and moves to the second display and touch area 12 via a third preset trajectory to switch from neutral gear to forward gear, wherein the third preset trajectory is at least a portion of the line segment from the second display and touch area to the third display and touch area 13.

[0049] This application also proposes a shifting method using any of the above-mentioned touchscreen shifting devices 100, the shifting method may include:

[0050] A gesture operation on the touch screen 1 is acquired, and it is determined whether the gesture operation meets preset trigger conditions. The preset trigger conditions include: the first display and touch area 11 is touched and moves to the second display and touch area 12 via the first preset trajectory 14; or the second display and touch area 12 is touched and moves to the first display and touch area 11 via the first preset trajectory 14. Wherein, the first preset trajectory 14 does not pass through the third display and touch area 13.

[0051] In the above steps, preferably, the preset triggering condition may include: the first display and touch area 11 is touched for a duration that satisfies a first preset time, and then moves to the second display and touch area 12 via a first preset trajectory 14, and the second display and touch area 12 is touched for a duration that satisfies a second preset time; or the second display and touch area 12 is touched for a duration that satisfies a first preset time, and then moves to the first display and touch area 11 via a first preset trajectory 14, and the first display and touch area 11 is touched for a duration that satisfies a second preset time. The first preset time can be any short period of time, such as 0.5 seconds, 0.7 seconds, 1 second, etc., and is not limited thereto in this application. Similarly, the second preset time can also be any short period of time, such as 0.5 seconds, 0.7 seconds, 1 second, etc., and is not limited thereto in this application. The above method can effectively prevent users or others from accidentally touching the touch screen 1, touching the first display and touch area 11, and moving to the second display and touch area 12 via the first preset trajectory 14, thus avoiding unexpected gear switching and preventing accidents.

[0052] Under preset trigger conditions, the gear is switched according to the gesture operation.

[0053] In the above steps, when the gesture operation is such that the first display and touch area 11 is touched and moves along the first preset trajectory 14 to the second display and touch area 12, which is a preset trigger condition, the gear shift specifically involves shifting from reverse gear to forward gear. Similarly, when the gesture operation is such that the second display and touch area 12 is touched and moves along the first preset trajectory 14 to the first display and touch area 11, which is a preset trigger condition, the gear shift specifically involves shifting from forward gear to reverse gear.

[0054] In the above steps, as an option, determining the gear shift based on gesture operation may include: detecting the fingerprint of an object touching the first display and touch area 11 or the second display and touch area 12 to obtain the user's fingerprint;

[0055] If the user's fingerprint meets the requirements, the gear can be switched according to the gesture operation.

[0056] The above method can, on the one hand, determine whether the user is the actual person, so as to prevent the thief from using the touch screen gear shifter 100 or the car after it has been stolen; on the other hand, it can prevent other parts of the user or others from accidentally touching the touch screen 1, resulting in unintended gear shifts, thereby avoiding accidents.

[0057] As an option, the preset trigger conditions may further include: the first display and touch area 11 being touched and moving along a second preset trajectory to the third display and touch area 13, or the third display and touch area 13 being touched and moving along a second preset trajectory to the first display and touch area 11. When the gesture operation is the preset trigger condition of the first display and touch area 11 being touched and moving along a second preset trajectory to the third display and touch area 13, the gear shift specifically involves shifting from reverse gear to neutral. When the gesture operation is the preset trigger condition of the third display and touch area 13 being touched and moving along a first preset trajectory 14 to the first display and touch area 11, the gear shift specifically involves shifting from neutral to reverse gear.

[0058] Alternatively, the preset trigger conditions may include: the second display and touch area 12 being touched and moving along a third preset trajectory to the third display and touch area 13, or the third display and touch area 13 being touched and moving along a third preset trajectory to the second display and touch area 12. When the gesture operation is the preset trigger condition of the second display and touch area 12 being touched and moving along a third preset trajectory to the third display and touch area 13, the gear shift specifically involves shifting from drive to neutral. When the gesture operation is the preset trigger condition of the third display and touch area 13 being touched and moving along a third preset trajectory to the second display and touch area 12, the gear shift specifically involves shifting from neutral to drive.

[0059] As a feasible option, the preset trigger condition may include: the third display and touch area 13 being touched. When the gesture operation is the preset trigger condition of the third display and touch area 13 being touched, the gear shift specifically involves shifting from a forward or reverse gear to neutral. The preset trigger condition may also include: when in neutral, the first display and touch area 11 or the second display and touch area 12 being touched. When in neutral, when the gesture operation is the first display and touch area 11 or the second display and touch area 12 being touched, the gear shift specifically involves shifting from neutral to a forward or reverse gear.

[0060] This application also proposes a vehicle that includes a touchscreen gear shifter 100 as described above. The vehicle may have a control platform 200, on which the touchscreen gear shifter 100 may be mounted.

[0061] This application also proposes a touchscreen key, which includes a touchscreen gear shifter 100 as described above. The touchscreen gear shifter 100 may also have a lock button 2 and an unlock button 3, respectively realizing the locking and unlocking functions of the corresponding vehicle. The lock button 2 and unlock button 3 can be physical buttons or patterns generated on the touchscreen 1, and the locking and unlocking functions are realized by touching the corresponding patterns on the touchscreen 1. As a feasible option, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the detachable installation of the touchscreen gear shifting device on the control platform in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the car may have a control platform 200, and a touchscreen key can be detachably installed on the control platform 200. A parking gear button 2001 may be provided on the control platform 200. When a user enters the car with the touchscreen key, they can insert or install the touchscreen key into the corresponding position on the control platform 200. When the touchscreen key is inserted or installed in the corresponding position on the control platform 200, an electrical connection can be established between the touchscreen key and the car, allowing for charging of the touchscreen key and command interaction between the touchscreen key and the car. Later, the car's gear shifting can still be controlled by operating the touchscreen 1 on the touchscreen key.
