Furthermore, the accompanying drawings of this invention are for simple illustrative purposes only and are not depictions of actual dimensions, as stated in advance. The following embodiments will further describe the relevant technical content of this invention in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention. In addition, the term "or" as used herein should be interpreted to include, depending on the actual situation, any combination of any one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] See Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an integrated information instrument device 200 installed on a locomotive, including: a digital instrument panel 210, a main control device 220, a surround view imaging system 230, a driving control connection interface 240, a threat detection system 250, a positioning unit 270, a wireless communication unit 280, and a media computer 300.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the integrated information instrument device 200 of the present invention is mounted on a locomotive 100, which has a steering handle 110 for controlling steering, and the digital instrument panel 210 is mounted on the steering handle 110 of the locomotive 100. Furthermore, the media computer 300 can be mounted under the seat cushion 120 of the locomotive 100 and is connected to the main control device 220 and the digital instrument panel 210 via a bus 290.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the main control device 220 is connected to the digital instrument panel 210, and the digital instrument panel 210 can receive the screen output by the main control device 220 and display it on the digital instrument panel 210.

[0031] In this embodiment, the digital instrument panel 210 is a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED), or a micro light-emitting diode display (Micro LED). More specifically, the digital instrument panel 210 is made of a display panel with a brightness exceeding 1000 nits, and the surface of the digital instrument panel 210 is treated with an anti-reflective layer (e.g., electroplating, vapor deposition, or electroplating) to ensure high visibility under strong sunlight.

[0032] The digital instrument panel 210 is designed with a main information display area 211, a first driving information display area 212, and a second driving information display area 213. The first and second driving information display areas 212 and 213 are designed to display information including vehicle speed, engine speed, left and right turn signals, headlight status, fuel level, and mileage. The main information display area 211 is configured to display various types of screens provided by the main control device 220. For example, the main information display area 211 can display a navigation information screen provided by the main control device 220, or display road condition information and driving assistance information received by the main control device 220 through the wireless communication unit 280, or receive messages sent from a driver's mobile electronic device via the wireless communication unit 280.

[0033] The surround-view imaging system 230 includes multiple camera devices 231, an image connection interface 232, and a road condition camera device 233. The image connection interface 232 is connected to the main control device 220, and the multiple camera devices 231 are connected to the image connection interface 232. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple camera devices 231 are respectively mounted on the front, rear, and left and right rearview mirrors 111 of the locomotive. The field of view of the multiple camera devices 231 covers the front, left and right sides, and rear of the locomotive body. The surround view imaging system 230 is configured to capture images of the locomotive from different angles and directions using the multiple camera devices 231 mounted at different positions on the locomotive 100, or to fuse the images captured by the multiple camera devices 231 into a single surround view image. For example, the surround view imaging system 230 can use the camera devices 231 mounted on the left and right rearview mirrors 111 to capture images of the left and right sides of the locomotive, or use the camera devices 231 mounted on the front and rear sides to capture images of the front or rear of the locomotive 100.

[0034] In addition, the surround view imaging system 230 also has a road condition camera device 233, which is located in front of the locomotive 100 and can capture images of the road surface in front of the locomotive 100.

[0035] The driving control connection interface 240 is connected to the main control device 220 and the locomotive's driving control interface 150, and is used to transmit the driving control signal output by the driving control interface 150 to the main control device 220. The driving control interface 150 is connected to at least the control switches or detection components of the locomotive 100's left and right turn signals, braking device, throttle or electric switch, and can output corresponding driving control signals when the locomotive turns, accelerates, decelerates, or brakes. For example, the driving control interface 150 can be connected to the turn signal switch and brake light switch of the locomotive 100, or connected to the throttle control switch or speed sensor. When the locomotive 100's turn signal is on, the driving control signal of the locomotive 100 turning can be detected; when the brake light is on, the driving control signal of the locomotive 100 braking can be detected; and when the locomotive throttle is opened or the speedometer is activated, the driving control signal of the locomotive moving can be detected.

[0036] The main control device 220 of the present invention is configured to, upon receiving the driving control signal, determine the type of control action of the locomotive 100 based on the driving control signal, and determine the possible threat direction of the locomotive during travel based on the locomotive control action. It then uses the surround view imaging system 230 to capture images corresponding to the field of view of the possible threat direction, and outputs an auxiliary display screen 214 to the digital instrument panel 210. The auxiliary display screen 214 displays the images corresponding to the field of view of the possible threat direction on the digital instrument panel 210. More specifically, the driving control signal may include control signals for the locomotive 100 to turn left or right, brake or decelerate, and move forward. Upon receiving the driving control signal, the device determines that the possible threat direction is from the left or right sides, or from the front or rear, and then controls the surround view imaging system 230 to capture images from the left, right, front, or rear sides of the locomotive and display them on the digital instrument panel 210.

[0037] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the digital instrument panel 210 is configured to operate in a driving display mode when the locomotive 100 is in motion. In this driving display mode, the digital instrument panel 210 is configured to have a main information display area 211, and when the main control device 220 outputs the auxiliary display screen 214 to the digital instrument panel 210, the auxiliary display screen 214 is included within the range of the main information display area 211. Furthermore, as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the main control device 220 outputs the auxiliary display screen 214 to the digital instrument panel 210, it can configure the auxiliary display screen 214 in the main information display area 211 at the position corresponding to the possible threat direction according to the possible threat direction.

[0038] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the main control device 220 of the present invention is configured to connect to the turn signal switch of the locomotive 100 via the driving control connection interface 240. When the turn signal switch activates the left turn signal of the locomotive, it detects a driving control signal for the locomotive 100 to turn left, and controls the surround view imaging system 230 to capture the image of the left side of the locomotive 100 and output it to the auxiliary display screen 214, which is displayed on the left side of the main information display area 211. Similarly, when the turn signal switch activates the right turn signal of the locomotive 100, the main control device 220 controls the surround view imaging system 230 to capture the image located on the right side of the locomotive 100 and output it to the auxiliary display screen 214, which is displayed on the right side of the main information display area by the digital instrument panel 210. In this way, when the locomotive 100 turns left or right, the driver can see the image on the left or right side of the locomotive 100 through the auxiliary display screen 214, so that the driver can avoid the road conditions on both sides of the locomotive and avoid the danger of collision when the locomotive 100 turns.

[0039] For example Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the main control device 220 is configured to connect to the brake light switch of the motorcycle 100 via the driving control connection interface 240. When the brake light switch is turned on, it detects the driving control signal of the motorcycle 100 braking or decelerating, and controls the surround view imaging system 230 to capture the image of the rear of the motorcycle 100 and display it on the auxiliary display screen 214 so that the driver can see the road conditions behind the motorcycle 100 and avoid the danger of rear-end collisions. The digital instrument panel 210 displays the auxiliary display screen 214 in the central area of ​​the main information display area 211.

[0040] Furthermore, the surround-view imaging system 230 of the present invention also includes a road condition camera device 233. The main control device 220 is configured to connect to the throttle or ignition switch of the locomotive 100, or to the speed measuring device of the locomotive 100, to detect the driving control signals of the locomotive 100. The road condition camera device 233 captures images of the road surface ahead of the locomotive 100 and outputs these images to the auxiliary display screen 214. The digital instrument panel 210 displays the auxiliary display screen 214 in the central area of ​​the main information display area 211. Through the road condition camera device 233, the road conditions ahead of the locomotive 100 can be displayed, allowing the driver to be aware of the road conditions ahead and avoid the danger of the locomotive falling into potholes or colliding with obstacles.

[0041] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main control device 220 of the present invention is also connected to the wireless communication unit 280, the positioning unit 270, and the media computer 300.

[0042] The wireless communication unit 280 may include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and communication units connected to existing 4G, 5G, or other types of wireless wide-area communication networks, enabling the integrated information instrument device 200 of the present invention to connect to a user's mobile electronic device 400 or to a cloud server 500 via the wireless communication unit 280. The main control device 220 may transmit the images captured by the surround-view imaging system 230 to the cloud server 500 for storage, or perform live video streaming via the cloud server 500.

[0043] In this embodiment, the media computer 300 can be configured under the seat cushion 120 of the locomotive 100, and the media computer 300 can be connected to the main control device 220 via the bus 290. The media computer 300 can be a mobile network computer, used to search for information or obtain online services (such as online map navigation) and various online applications through the network, and output the screen to the digital instrument panel 210. Furthermore, when the locomotive 100 is parked, the media computer 300 can also serve as an audio-visual media playback platform to provide audio-visual entertainment functions for the owner during rest.

[0044] like Figure 8As shown, the integrated information instrument device 200 of the present invention further includes a threat detection system 250 for detecting threat events affecting the driving safety of the locomotive 100, and outputting a threat signal to the main control device 220. After receiving the threat signal, the main control device 220 determines the nature of the threat event through a threat judgment mechanism and executes a threat response mechanism corresponding to the threat event. More specifically, the threat detection system 250 can be connected to the surround view imaging system 230, and identify whether there are threat events threatening the driving safety of the locomotive 100 through images captured by multiple cameras 231 or road condition cameras 233 of the surround view imaging system 230. Alternatively, it can be connected to multiple sensors (such as radar, ultrasonic sensors, LiDAR, etc.) to detect threat events approaching the locomotive 100. In a preferred embodiment, the threat detection system 250 can also receive road condition and threat warning signals transmitted from the network through the wireless communication unit 280.

[0045] The threat assessment mechanism of the main control device 220 is capable of determining the type of threat event detected by the threat detection system 250, and the direction of the threat source relative to the locomotive 100. The threat response mechanism of the main control device 220 includes capturing an image of the field of view corresponding to the direction of the threat source through the surround view imaging system 230, and outputting a threat warning screen 215 to the digital instrument panel 210.

[0046] For example, the threat detection system 250 can detect whether a vehicle is rapidly approaching the vehicle using the surround view system 230 or ultrasonic sensors or radar arranged around the vehicle 100. When a rapidly approaching vehicle is detected, the surround view system 230 is activated to capture images from the direction of the approaching vehicle, issues a warning message, and outputs the threat warning screen 215 on the digital instrument panel 210.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the threat detection system 250 can capture the road conditions in front of the locomotive 100 through the road condition camera device 233, and when a pothole or obstacle is detected, display the road condition image in front of the locomotive 100 in the threat warning screen 215.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the main control device 220 of the present invention can also be connected to a power system 130 and a braking system 140 of the locomotive 100 via the driving control connection interface 240. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the driving control connection interface 240 of the main control device 220 is connected to the power system 130 and braking system 140 of the locomotive 100 via the bus 290. The bus 290 is connected to an intermediate translation unit 291. The purpose of the intermediate translation unit 291 is to receive control messages or driving information output by the control devices of the power system 130 and braking system 140 of the locomotive 100, and to translate the control messages or driving information output by the control devices of the power system 130 and braking system 140 into handles that the main control device 220 can read. The control commands output by the main control device 220 are also converted into handles that the control devices of the power system 130 and braking system 140 can accept via the intermediate translation unit 291.

[0049] In this embodiment, the main control device 220 is configured to receive driving information output by the power system 130 and the braking system 140, and to display the driving information on the digital instrument panel 210. For example, the main control device 220 can receive fuel consumption or power consumption information output by the power system 130, and after calculation, display the fuel consumption or power consumption information, remaining mileage information, etc. of the locomotive 100 on the digital instrument panel 210. Furthermore, the main control device 220 can also output a power control signal or a braking control signal through the driving control connection interface 240 to control the operation of the power system 130 or the braking system 140 of the locomotive 100.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the threat response mechanism of the main control device 220 is configured to also output the power control signal or the braking control signal to control the output power of the locomotive's power system or the operation of the braking system. For example, when the threat detection system 250 detects an obstacle or dangerous road condition in front of the locomotive 100, it can output a power control signal to reduce the output of the engine or motor of the locomotive 100, and even output a braking system control signal to control the braking system 140 to decelerate.

[0051] In another embodiment of the present invention, the threat detection system 250 can connect to the network through the wireless communication unit 280 and, in conjunction with the positioning unit 270, obtain information on the road conditions in the direction of travel of the locomotive 100 from the network. When there is a traffic accident or other threatening event ahead, the system outputs the power control signal or the braking control signal to control the power system 130 or the braking system 140 of the locomotive 100 to take countermeasures.

[0052] [Beneficial Effects of the Examples]

[0053] One beneficial effect of this invention is that the integrated information instrument device of this invention has a main control device and a surround-view imaging system. The main control device can connect to the locomotive's driving control interface to detect the locomotive's driving control signals. Upon receiving the driving control signals, the device determines a possible threatening direction of the locomotive's movement based on the signals, and the surround-view imaging system captures an image corresponding to the field of view of the possible threatening direction, outputting an auxiliary display screen. This auxiliary display screen shows the image corresponding to the field of view of the possible threatening direction on the digital instrument panel. Through this technical solution, the locomotive driver can easily perceive potential threats while operating the locomotive and take corresponding defensive measures, thereby reducing the chance of accidents.

[0054] Furthermore, the integrated information instrument device of the present invention also has the threat detection system, and the main control device can take corresponding threat response mechanisms based on the threat events detected by the threat detection system, thus more effectively improving the safety of locomotive driving.
