Description

[0001] Cross - reference to related applications

[0002] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10 - 2023 - 0195623, filed on December 28, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as if fully set forth herein. Technical Field

[0003] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to displays of mobile devices such as vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and more particularly to a cockpit system including a display. Background Art

[0004] Recently, with the digitization of vehicles, many controllers have been installed in vehicles. Various communication functions between the controllers can allow the vehicle's location to be remotely checked via the Internet or using a smartphone, and can enable a user to discover nearby charging stations. All information regarding the current state of the vehicle, such as the battery charge state or pre - regulation state of the vehicle, can be checked in real - time by a user (or driver) touching a button. In addition, an intelligent driving assistance system obtains information regarding road driving to make driving more convenient for the driver.

[0005] In this regard, a combination meter can be used in a vehicle. The combination meter can provide basic functions of the vehicle, such as driving speed, mileage, a tachograph, and the function of a dashboard that displays the engine speed (engine revolutions per minute). For example, the combination meter can provide accurate and convenient vehicle information such as charging infrastructure network information, driving mileage, the current state of the battery, information output, and other driving environments.

[0006] In particular, recently, vehicles have used digital combination meters of various digital cockpits to effectively present vehicle information. Therefore, technologies capable of processing these digital cockpits in an integrated manner need to be developed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present disclosure aims to solve the above - mentioned problems. An object of the present disclosure is to provide an operating system implemented in a projection manner by a projector located therein.

[0008] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a transparent panel configured to provide information to a driver and a passenger by transmitting light from a lower region of a display when the display moves downward.

[0009] The technical subject to be solved by the present disclosure is not limited to the above - mentioned technical solutions. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand other technical subjects not described above through the following description of the present disclosure.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cockpit system provided in a mobile device may include: a front display provided in front of a driver's seat and a passenger seat of the mobile device and configured to have a plurality of display areas; a first operating system configured to receive at least one first operation signal from a driver or a passenger; a second operating system configured to receive at least one second operation signal from a driver or a passenger; and a controller configured to change a display screen of at least one of the front display, the first operating system, and the second operating system based on the first operation signal or the second operation signal, wherein the first operating system and the second operating system are implemented in a projection manner by a projector located therein.

[0011] Each of the first operating system and the second operating system may include a plurality of protrusions formed at regular intervals, each protrusion protruding a predetermined height.

[0012] Each of the first operating system and the second operating system may further include a vibrator positioned corresponding to the plurality of protrusions and configured to generate vibrations, wherein the controller controls the vibrator corresponding to the protrusion sensed to be in contact among the plurality of protrusions.

[0013] The mobile device may include a camera configured to identify the presence or absence of a passenger, wherein the controller interacts with the camera to adjust an operation range of the driver of the second operating system according to the presence or absence of the passenger.

[0014] Through the camera, when the passenger is absent, the controller may adjust the operation range of the driver to correspond to the entire second operating system; and through the camera, when the passenger is present, the controller may adjust the operation range of the driver to correspond to a left half portion of the second operating system.

[0015] The mobile device may include a camera configured to identify whether the driver is looking forward; and the controller interacting with the camera may control the second operating system through the camera such that when the driver is looking forward and controls the second operating system through a specific posture of the driver, the second operating system is controlled.

[0016] The controller may control the front display to move downward based on a low signal in the first operation signal and further include a perspective panel. After the front display moves downward, the transparent panel is configured to provide information to the driver and the passenger by transmitting light emitted from a lower region of the front display.

[0017] The plurality of display areas of the front display may include a first blanking button, a first in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) display, a second IVI display, and a second blanking button.

[0018] When a low signal is received, the information provided through the transparent panel may correspond to the screens displayed by each of the first blanking button, the first IVI display, the second IVI display, and the second blanking button, and the information is simpler than the information displayed at the upper end of the front display.

[0031] A detailed description will now be given with reference to the accompanying drawings according to the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein. For a brief description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same or equivalent components may have the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

[0032] Generally, suffixes such as "module" and "unit" may be used to refer to elements or components. The use of such suffixes here is merely for the convenience of the description of the specification, and the suffixes themselves do not give any special meaning or function. In the present disclosure, for the sake of brevity, the content well known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art is usually omitted.

[0033] The accompanying drawings are used to help easily understand various technical features, and it should be understood that the embodiments described herein are not limited by the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the present disclosure should be construed as extending to any variations, equivalents, and alternatives other than those specifically set forth in the accompanying drawings.

[0034] It should be understood that although terms such as first and second may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are generally only used to distinguish one element from another.

[0035] It should be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may also be an intermediate element. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly connected" to another element, there is no intermediate element.

[0036] The singular representation may include the plural representation, unless it represents a completely different meaning from the context.

[0037] Terms used in this document, such as "including" or "having", should be understood to be intended to indicate the presence of several components, functions or steps disclosed in the specification, and should also be understood to be capable of using more or fewer components, functions or steps as well.

[0038] The cockpit system and the mobile device according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. For the sake of brevity, the repeated description thereof will be omitted here.

[0039] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a front display including a plurality of display areas according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0040] Assume Figure 1 The front display shown is located in front of the driver's seat and the passenger seat of the mobile device. That is to say, preferably, the front display is arranged in the entire front area of the mobile device so that the front display can be arranged not only in the front area of the driver's seat but also in the front area of the passenger seat.

[0041] In addition, according to Figure 1 The front display 100 according to the illustrated embodiment may include a plurality of display areas (110, 120, 130, 140). Specifically, Figure 1 A first blanking button 110, a first in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) display 120, a second IVI display 130 and a second blanking button 140 are shown, but it should be noted that the plurality of display areas can be configured in various forms.

[0042] For example, as Figure 1 shown, the first IVI display 120 can be displayed while being divided into a combination meter 120-1, a combination meter widget 120-2 and an IVI 120-3. Specifically, the combination meter 120-1 can display a combination meter screen related to driving information, and the combination meter widget 120-2 can display information in the form of a widget. In addition, different from the second IVI display 130 of the passenger seat, the IVI 120-3 can provide an IVI display for the driver. Although Figure 1 the examples in show examples of providing map, media and weather information, the scope or spirit of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0043] The blanking buttons (110, 140) generally refer to buttons set to be recognized by the user's field of view (FOV) only when necessary. In Figure 1In the example, the first blanking button 110 is a blanking button that provides functions (e.g., functions related to driving control) that the driver can use when necessary, and the second blanking button 140 is a blanking button that provides functions (e.g., functions related to music playback) that the passenger on the passenger seat can use when necessary.

[0044] Meanwhile, the first IVI display 120 can play (or reproduce) the driver's driving-related instrument cluster, instrument cluster widgets, maps, media, and weather-related applications, and can reset the area of the application to be displayed according to the driver's (or passenger's) operations or condition settings.

[0045] The second IVI display 130 is an application that can be controlled by the passenger, and can display applications such as weather-related controls, media, and maps.

[0046] However, the above display configuration is only an example, and can be integrated and displayed in the corresponding area according to the driver / passenger operations or condition settings. For example, when the display mode is set to the theater mode, as will be described later, an image integrated into one of the above first IVI display 120 and second IVI display 130 can also be displayed.

[0047] Meanwhile, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a method of selecting and supporting a low mode from the display mode to protect the driver's FOV. During the low mode, the above front display 100 can be moved downward by a controller (not shown).

[0048] In addition, an embodiment of the present disclosure can provide a structure including a transparent panel 150 as shown in Figure 1 When the front display 100 moves downward according to the application of the low mode as described above, the light emitted from the lower area of the front display 100 can be configured to provide information to the driver and the passenger through the above transparent panel 150.

[0049] At this time, it is assumed that the information provided through the transparent panel 150 is information corresponding to the screens respectively displayed through the first blanking button 110, the first IVI display 120, the second IVI display 130, and the second blanking button 140.

[0050] However, preferably, the information provided through the transparent panel 150 is simpler than the information displayed at the upper end of the front display 100. Here, "simplified information" can refer to information that can be achieved at a lower resolution than the information displayed at the upper end of the front display 100, can refer to less information than the information displayed at the upper end of the front display 100, or can refer to information displayed as a combination of lower-resolution information and less information.

[0051] Meanwhile, as in Figure 1As shown, the cockpit system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a first operating system 160 and a second operating system 170. The first operating system 160 and the second operating system 170 may be implemented by a projection method. A detailed description thereof will be given with reference to Figure 2 below.

[0052] As Figure 1 shown, the second operating system 170 may be divided into an operation unit for the driver (hereinafter referred to as the "driver operation unit") 171, a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) operation unit 172, and an operation unit for passengers (hereinafter referred to as the "passenger operation unit") 173. A detailed description thereof will be given with reference to Figure 3 below.

[0053] The controller may adjust whether to execute the passenger operation unit 173 according to the presence or absence of passengers. In other words, when it is recognized that there is no passenger, the controller may control the second operating system 170 so that the passenger operation unit 173 can be executed. Alternatively, when it is recognized that there is no passenger, the controller may control the second operating system 170 such that the passenger operation unit 173 does not perform any operation.

[0054] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram for specifically explaining the display position of each display mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0055] First, in the Figure 2 embodiment shown, the display position in the standard mode 211 is preferably set to a preset height such that the bottom line of the display active area of the first IVI display of the front display 100 is not covered by the transparent panel 150.

[0056] Next, in the reclined mode 212 of the Figure 2 embodiment shown, the height of the driver's eyes or the height of the driver's nose is measured as described above. Accordingly, the front display 100 is tilted backward, so that the display efficiency for the driver can be improved. In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the reclined degree of the front display 100 may be set to be finely adjusted by the first blanking button 110.

[0057] Finally, in the Figure 2 low mode 213 of the embodiment shown, the front display 100 may be moved downward to ensure the forward visibility by measuring the height of the driver's eyes / nose as described above. In this case, as described above, simplified information may be provided by the light emitted from the lower part of the front display 100 passing through the transparent panel 150.

[0058] In the low mode 313 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the area located at the bottom of the blanking button (110, 140) may be covered by the downward movement of the display screen. Due to the characteristics of the blanking button (110, 140), it is inefficient to use the light emitted from the lower part of the corresponding blanking button (110, 140) to provide information through the transparent panel 150. Therefore, in the case of the blanking button (110, 140), different from the IVI display (120, 130), the arrangement of the buttons can be changed to maintain the functions of the existing blanking buttons within the area not covered in the low mode 313.

[0059] Meanwhile, Figure 2 An embodiment implemented by the projection method of using the internal projector 210 of the first operating system 160 and the second operating system 170 is shown. Based on the display scheme, a light-emitting display such as an LED display can be used to implement the first or second operating system 160 or 170, but there are various curves / surfaces in the internal space of a mobile device (specifically, a vehicle), and considering such internal characteristics of the vehicle, it is difficult to implement a light-emitting display.

[0060] Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first operating system 160 and the second operating system 170 are configured by using the projection method of the front internal projector 210 of the mobile device. As Figure 2 shown, the advantage of the internal projector 210 is that the first operating system 160 and the second operating system 170 can be freely implemented even in a space with multiple curves / surfaces.

[0061] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an example of the display screen of the first operating system and the second operating system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram showing the general operation process of the first operating system and the second operating system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0062] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sub-screen 310 shown may correspond to Figure 1 the first operating system 160 shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The main screen 320 shown may correspond to Figure 1 the second operating system 170 shown. For the convenience of explanation, in the description related to Figure 3 and Figure 4 the first operating system 160 will be described as the sub-screen 310, and the second operating system 170 will be described as the main screen 320.

[0063] As Figure 3As shown, both the sub-screen 310 and the main screen 320 can have active areas, and the display modes implemented by the sub-screen 310 and the main screen 320 can be displayed within the active areas.

[0064] The display modes implemented by the sub-screen 310 can include a quick mode 311 and an animation mode 312. The quick mode 311 can display operation icons in the shape of shortcuts within the active area of the sub-screen 310. Its detailed description will be given later with reference to Figures 10 to 16 this.

[0065] The animation mode 312 displays the basic state of the sub-screen 310 and can enable animations, etc. Or it can be made such that no data is displayed on the sub-screen 310. When the user (driver or passenger) touches the sub-screen 310 in the animation mode 312, the mode of the sub-screen 310 can be changed from the animation mode 312 to the quick mode 311.

[0066] The display modes implemented by the main screen 320 can include a temperature mode 321, a volume / media mode 322, and a seat mode 323. According to the mode, the main screen 320 can change the display screen to be implemented thereon. More specifically, as described with reference to Figure 1 this, the main screen 320 (i.e., the second operating system 170) can be divided into a driver operation unit 171, an HVAC operation unit 172, and a passenger operation unit 173. According to the mode, the main screen 320 can change the display screens to be implemented by the driver operation unit 171 and the passenger operation unit 173.

[0067] For example, in the temperature mode 321, each of the driver operation unit 171 and the passenger operation unit 173 can output an operation unit for adjusting the temperature. Optionally, for example, in the volume / media mode 322, each of the driver operation unit 171 and the passenger operation unit 173 can output an operation unit capable of controlling the volume or media. Optionally, for example, in the seat mode 323, the driver operation unit 171 and the passenger operation unit 173 can output an operating system that can provide a combination of buttons to select a driving mode, a theater mode, and a relaxation mode.

[0068] Changing the mode of the sub-screen 310 and changing the mode of the main screen 320 can be performed by using specific gestures such as tapping or swiping.

[0069] As Figure 4 shown, both the sub-screen 310 and the main screen 320 can be in a state where the display is turned off. At this time, the sub-screen 310 can be in a display-off state or can be in the animation mode 312.

[0070] When the controller determines that the user (passenger or driver) has approached the main screen 320, the controller may adjust the main screen 320 to output a display mode. At this time, the display mode output by the main screen 320 may be one of a temperature mode 321, a volume / media mode 322, and a seat mode 323. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example in which the display mode output by the main screen 320 is the temperature mode 321.

[0071] In addition, the user (passenger or driver) can change the mode of the sub-screen 310 from the animation mode 312 to the quick mode 311 by tapping the sub-screen 310.

[0072] In the case where the sub-screen 310 corresponds to the quick mode 311 and the main screen 320 corresponds to one of several modes, when a specific gesture (such as a touch) on the sub-screen 310 and the main screen 320 has not occurred for N seconds, the sub-screen 310 may become the animation mode 311, and the main screen 320 may become a display-off state.

[0073] Figure 5 and Figure 6 are schematic diagrams showing examples of operations of the first and second operating systems according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0074] Figure 5 and Figure 6 The sub-screen 510 shown may correspond to Figure 1 the first operating system 160 shown, or may correspond to Figure 3 and Figure 4 the sub-screen 310 shown. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The main screen 520 shown may correspond to Figure 1 the second operating system 170 shown, or may correspond to Figure 3 and Figure 4 the main screen 320 shown. For ease of description, in the following description related to Figure 5 and Figure 6 the first operating system 160 will be described as the sub-screen 510, and the second operating system 170 will be described as the main screen 520.

[0075] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a plurality of protrusions 511 may be formed on the sub-screen 510, each protrusion protruding a predetermined height, and a plurality of protrusions 521 may be formed on the main screen 520, each protrusion protruding a predetermined height. At this time, it may be desirable to form the plurality of protrusions 511 or 521 at regular intervals in the left-right direction.

[0076] Reference Figure 5For example, the protrusion 511 formed on the sub-screen 510 can adjust the volume according to the number of mutually contacting protrusions 511. In other words, as shown in the example of Figure 6 (a), when the user (driver or passenger) slidably contacts a plurality of protrusions from the 0th protrusion (511-0) located at the leftmost position to the 4th protrusion (511-4), the volume can increase corresponding to Figure 5 the degree of four spaces. The volume size corresponding to Figure 5 one space can be specified by the user.

[0077] In addition, for example, as shown in Figure 5 , the temperature of the protrusion 521 formed on the main screen 520 can be adjusted according to the number of mutually contacting protrusions 521. In other words, as shown in the example of Figure 6 (b), when the user (driver or passenger) slidably contacts a plurality of protrusions from the 0th protrusion (521-0) located at the leftmost position to the 7th protrusion (521-7), the temperature can increase corresponding to Figure 5 the degree of seven spaces. The temperature degree corresponding to Figure 5 one space can be specified by the user.

[0078] The sub-screen 510 and the main screen 520 can display the current volume or temperature state using light-emitting diodes or the like. Therefore, the user can reduce the size of the volume or the degree of temperature by moving left from the current state, or can increase the size of the volume or the degree of temperature by moving right from the current state.

[0079] According to an embodiment, as shown in the example of Figure 6 , the sub-screen 510 may include a vibrator (not shown) that generates vibration when located at a position corresponding to the position of the protrusion 511, and the main screen 520 may include a vibrator (not shown) that generates vibration when located at a position corresponding to the position of the protrusion 521. The controller can adjust the vibrator corresponding to the sensed contacting protrusion (511, 521) so that the vibrator can generate vibration.

[0080] For example, as shown in Figure 6 (a), when the user (driver or passenger) contacts the protrusions (511-0, 511-1, 511-2, 511-3, 511-4) from the 0th protrusion (511-0) at the leftmost to the 4th protrusion (511-4), the vibrator corresponding to the positions of the protrusions (511-0, 511-1, 511-2, 511-3, 511-4) can generate vibration. Accordingly, the user can identify how many spaces corresponding to the volume level can be changed based on the number of sensed vibrations.

[0081] Alternatively, for example, as shown in Figure 6As shown in (b), when the user (driver or passenger) releases the protrusions (511-0, 511-1, 511-2, 511-3, 511-4, 511-5, 511-6, 511-7) from the 0th protrusion (511-0) to the 7th protrusion (511-7) on the leftmost side, the vibrators corresponding to the positions of the protrusions (511-0, 511-1, 511-2, 511-3, 511-4, 511-5, 511-6, 511-7) can generate vibrations. Accordingly, the user can identify how much space corresponding to the temperature level can be changed based on the number of sensed vibrations.

[0082] Figure 7 Schematic diagram of an example of adjusting a second operating system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0083] Figure 7 The main screen 720 shown can correspond to Figure 1 the second operating system 170 shown, or can correspond to Figures 3 to 6 the main screens 320 and 520 shown. For ease of explanation, in the description related to Figure 7 the second operating system 170 will be described as the main screen 720.

[0084] As Figure 7 shown, the main screen 720 can control the temperature and volume to be adjusted together according to the adjustment directions of the temperature and volume.

[0085] For example, when the user (driver or passenger) adjusts the main screen 720 in the horizontal direction, the temperature can be adjusted. More specifically, when the main screen 720 is adjusted in the horizontal direction in the left area relative to the center of the main screen 720, the temperature of the driver's seat can be adjusted. When the main screen 720 is adjusted in the horizontal direction in the right area relative to the center of the main screen 720, the passenger seat can be adjusted. A detailed description thereof will be given later with reference to Figure 8 At this time, when the user performs a drag in the left-right direction, only the slider that slides within the main screen 720 can be enlarged, and other components displayed within the main screen 720 can disappear.

[0086] In addition, for example, when the user (driver or passenger) adjusts the main screen (520) in the vertical direction, the volume can be adjusted. More specifically, when the user performs a drag in the direction from the upper end to the lower end relative to the center of the main screen 720, the volume is adjusted to decrease. When the user performs a drag in the direction from the lower end to the upper end relative to the center of the main screen 720, the volume can be adjusted to increase. In this case, when the user performs a drag in the lowest direction, the volume can be set to the mute state.

[0087] Figure 8Schematic diagram of an example of the operating range of a second operating system depending on the presence or absence of a passenger according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0088] Figure 8 The main screen 820 shown may correspond to Figure 1 the second operating system 170 shown, or may correspond to Figures 3 to 7 the main screens (320, 520, 720) shown. For ease of explanation, the second operating system 170 will be described as the main screen 820 in the description related to Figure 8 it.

[0089] As Figure 8 shown, the main screen 820 can adjust the driver's operating range (821-1, 821-2) according to the presence or absence of a passenger. At this time, the controller can identify the presence or absence of a passenger through the camera 800 provided in the mobile device.

[0090] For example, when there is no passenger, that is, only the driver, the entire area of the main screen 820 can correspond to the driver's operating range 821-1. That is to say, in this case, the driver can adjust the temperature of the driver's seat by performing a horizontal drag in any area of the main screen 820.

[0091] Alternatively, for example, if there is a passenger, half of the entire area of the main screen 820 can correspond to the driver's operating range 821-2. In other words, the area to the left of the center of the main screen 820 can correspond to the driver's operating range 821-2, and the area to the right of the center of the main screen 820 can correspond to the passenger's operating range 822. Therefore, in this case, the driver can adjust the temperature of the driver's seat by performing a horizontal drag within the driver's operating range 821-2 to the left of the center of the main screen 820, and the passenger can adjust the temperature of the passenger's seat by performing a horizontal drag within the passenger's operating range 822 to the right of the center of the main screen 820.

[0092] In addition, when the driver looks forward without looking at the main screen 820, even if it is recognized that the main screen 820 is being operated by a specific gesture, the controller can still control the main screen 820 to make adjustments. At this time, the specific gesture can be, for example, a drag using two fingers (two-finger drag).

[0093] Figure 9 Schematic diagram of an example of the operating mode of a first operating system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0094] Figure 9 The sub-screen 910 shown may correspond to Figure 1 the first operating system 160 shown, or may correspond to Figures 3 to 6The sub-screens (310, 510) shown.

[0095] Figure 9 The main screen 920 shown may correspond to Figure 1 the second operating system 170 shown, or may correspond to Figures 3 to 8 the main screens (320, 520, 720, 820) shown. For the sake of explanation, in the description related to Figure 9 the first operating system 160 will be described as the sub-screen 910, and the second operating system 170 will be described as the main screen 920.

[0096] As Figure 9 shown, the sub-screen 910 may include multiple operation modes. In other words, the sub-screen 910 can provide a mode corresponding to the first operation signal by receiving the first operation signal provided by the user. At this time, the first operation signal may be a signal generated by the user's touch.

[0097] The sub-screen 910 may include various modes, for example, a focus mode 911, a display mode 912, a power mode 913, a view mode 914, and a switching mode 915. Figure 9 The modes shown are merely examples and may be represented as the first to fifth operation modes.

[0098] The user can adjust the display screen of the front display 100 (see Figure 1 ) or the vertical movement of the front display 100 based on the first operation signal provided to the sub-screen 910.

[0099] The following will refer to Figures 10 to 16 describe the operation modes of the sub-screen 910 in detail.

[0100] Figures 10 to 17 is a diagram for specifically illustrating the operation modes of the first operating system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0101] First, Figure 10 shows an example in which the sub-screen 910 receives a signal generated when the user touches the first operation mode 911 or the focus mode 911 in the operation mode of touching the sub-screen 910 as the first operation signal.

[0102] As Figure 10 shown, the sub-screen 910 may include a focus button 911-1 and a full-screen button 911-2 as shortcut buttons displayed as the focus mode 911. When the user touches the focus button 911-1, the sub-screen 910 can execute the focus mode 911. When the focus mode 911 is executed, as Figure 10 shown, the shortcut button can change from the focus button 911-1 to the full-screen button 911-2. When the full-screen button 911-2 is touched, the sub-screen 910 can release the focus mode 911.

[0103] In the focus mode 911, only the instrument panel 120-1 of the first IVI display 120 may be displayed, and the rest may not be displayed. That is, only the instrument panel 120-1 of the first IVI display 120 in the front display 100 is displayed, and the first blanking button 110, the second IVI display 130, and the second blanking button 140 (i.e., the display off state) may be turned off, and the instrument panel widget 120-2 and the IVI 120-3 of the first IVI display 120 may also be turned off.

[0104] Accordingly, when the user touches the focus mode 911 as the first operation signal on the sub-screen 910, the front display 100 may display only the information about instrument panel driving, and not display all the remaining information.

[0105] Figure 11 An example is shown in which the sub-screen 910 receives a signal generated when the second operation mode 912 or the display mode 912 in the operation mode where the user touches the sub-screen 910 as the second operation signal. The display mode 912 may include a low mode in which the front display 100 moves downward and a high mode in which the front display 100 moves upward.

[0106] As Figure 11 shown, the sub-screen 910 may include a down button 912-1 and an up button 912-2 as quick buttons for the display mode 912. When the user touches the down button 912-1, the sub-screen 910 may execute the low mode 911 in the display mode 912. When the low mode 912 is executed, as Figure 11 shown, the quick buttons may change from the down button 912-1 to the up button 912-2. When the up button 912-2 is touched, the sub-screen 910 may release the high mode 911 from the display mode 912.

[0107] When the low mode 912 is executed, the controller may control the front display 100 to move downward. At this time, as referred to Figure 1 above, after the front display 100 moves downward, the transparent panel 150 may transmit the light emitted from the lower area of the front display 100 and may provide information to the driver and passengers. When the low mode 912 is released, the controller may control the front display 100 to move upward.

[0108] Figure 12 An example is shown in which the sub-screen 910 receives a signal generated when the third operation mode 913 or the power mode 913 in the operation mode where the user touches the sub-screen 910 as the third operation signal. The sub-screen 910 may include a power button as a quick button displayed as the power mode 913.

[0109] AsFigure 12 As shown, the front display 100, the sub-screen 910, and the main screen 920 can all be in the display-off state (see Figure 12 the reference numeral "1" in the figure).

[0110] When the controller determines that the user (passenger or driver) has approached the main screen 320, the controller can control the main screen 320 to display a start button as a quick button (see Figure 12 the reference numeral "2" in the figure). When the user touches the start button, the front display 100, the sub-screen 910, and the main screen 920 can execute a preset animated image (see Figure 12 the reference numeral "3" in the figure).

[0111] The front display 100, the sub-screen 910, and the main screen 920 can continue to display the animated image thereon (see Figure 12 the reference numeral "4" in the figure). When the display of the animated image stops, the power button is first displayed on the sub-screen 320, and then the remaining screens are displayed on the sub-screen 320 (see Figure 12 the reference numeral "5" in the figure).

[0112] The user can use the front display 100, the sub-screen 910, and the main screen 920 when the front display 100, the sub-screen 910, and the main screen 920 are all in the on state (see Figure 12 the reference numeral "6"). When the user touches the power button, the sub-screen 910 can execute the power mode 913 (see Figure 12 the reference numeral "1" in the figure).

[0113] Figure 13 An example is shown in which the sub-screen 910 receives a signal generated when the user touches the sub-screen 910 in the fourth operation mode 914 or the viewing mode 914 in the operation mode as a fourth operation signal.

[0114] As Figure 13 shown, the sub-screen 910 can include quick buttons displayed as the viewing mode 914, namely, a viewing button 914-1, a widget button 914-2, a wallpaper button 914-3, a movie button 914-4, a music button 914-5, and an end button 914-6. When the user touches the viewing button 914-1, the sub-screen 910 can execute the viewing mode 914. When the viewing mode 914 is executed, as Figure 13 shown, the sub-screen 910 can display the widget button 914-2, the wallpaper button 914-3, the movie button 914-4, the music button 914-5, and the end button (914-6) as quick buttons. At this time, when the user touches the end button 914-6, the sub-screen 910 can release the viewing mode 914.

[0115] Figure 14And Figure 15 shows an example of a signal generated when the sub-screen 910 in the view mode 914 receives a user's touch on the wallpaper button 914-3.

[0116] As Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, when the sub-screen 910 receives a signal generated when touching the wallpaper button 914-3, the main screen 920 can be changed to the wallpaper setting mode. The wallpaper setting mode can set a theme to be applied to the first IVI display 120 and the second IVI display 130.

[0117] At this time, the main screen 920 may include an application area display unit 921 at its upper end and a wallpaper type display unit 922 that can be set at its lower end. The user can set the theme to be applied to the first IVI display 120 and the second IVI display 130 by dragging a desired wallpaper among various wallpapers displayed on the wallpaper type display unit 922 that can be set to the application area display unit 921.

[0118] The application area display unit 921 may include a first application area display unit 921-1 and a second application area display unit 921-2. For example, when the user drags a desired wallpaper to the first application area display unit 921-1, the corresponding theme can be applied to the first IVI display 120 and the second IVI display 130.

[0119] In addition, for example, when the user drags the required wallpaper to the second application area display unit 921-2, the corresponding theme can be applied only to the second IVI display 130. In this case, the first IVI display 120 can maintain the existing display screen.

[0120] In addition, for example, if the user wants to turn off the second IVI display 130, the user can drag the black theme among the wallpapers displayed on the wallpaper type display unit 922 that can be set to the second application area display unit 921-2 to turn off the second IVI display unit 921-2.

[0121] Figure 16 shows an example of the sub-screen 910 receiving a signal generated when the user touches the fifth operation mode 915 or the switching mode 915 in the operation mode of the sub-screen 910 as the fifth operation signal.

[0122] As Figure 16 shown, the sub-screen 910 may include a switching button 915-1 as a shortcut button displayed as the switching mode 915. When the user touches the switching button 915-1, the sub-screen 910 can execute the switching mode 915.

[0123] When switching mode 915 is executed, the controller can change the applications displayed on IVI 120-3 that provides IVI display for the driver in the first IVI display 120, and can also change the applications displayed on the second IVI display 130 that provides IVI display for the passengers in the first IVI display 120.

[0124] That is, when the application programs (such as maps, media, and weather) displayed on IVI 120-3 and the application programs (such as biology, battery, and settings) displayed on the second IVI display 130 are changed to other application programs, the driver can set the preferred application program at a closer position.

[0125] In addition, even when there are passengers in the vehicle, the application programs (such as maps, media, and weather) displayed on IVI 120-3 that provides IVI display for the driver and the application programs (such as climate, media, and maps) displayed on the second IVI display 130 that provides IVI display for the passengers can be changed to other application programs.

[0126] Figure 17 A schematic diagram showing an example situation where the sub-screen 910 additionally includes a touchpad mode 916 as the sixth operation mode is shown. In other words, Figure 17 An example situation where the sub-screen 910 receives a signal generated when the user touches the sixth operation mode or the sixth touchpad mode 916 in the operation mode of the sub-screen 910 as the sixth operation signal is shown.

[0127] As Figure 16 shown, the sub-screen 910 may include a touchpad button 916-1 as a quick button displayed in the touchpad mode 916. When the user touches the touchpad button 916-1, the sub-screen 910 can execute the touchpad mode 916. When the touchpad mode 916 is executed, as Figure 17 shown, the sub-screen 910 can display an end button 916-2 as a quick button. At this time, when the user touches the end button 916-2, the sub-screen 910 can release the touchpad mode 916.

[0128] When the touchpad mode 916 is executed, all the displays of other components within the main screen 920 may disappear, and a black screen or a finger-shaped display may appear. Pointers (901, 902) can be displayed in the IVI 120-3 or the second IVI display 130. That is, the user can manipulate the pointers 901 and 902 on the main screen 920 through gestures such as swiping, dragging, and clicking.

[0129] In addition, an indication mark (such as an arrow mark) that can be used to control which of the IVI 120-3 and the second IVI display 130 will be used to display the pointers 901 and 902 can be displayed on the sub-screen 910. For example, asFigure 17 As shown, the user can make the pointer 901 be able to be displayed within the IVI 120-3 by clicking the left arrow and pressing the OK button. Alternatively, the user can adjust the pointer 902 to be displayed on the second IVI display 130 by clicking the right arrow and pressing the OK button.
