Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a display in a mobile device such as a vehicle or an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV), and more particularly, to a method of changing a cockpit layout according to a display mode and a cockpit system using the method. Background Art

[0002] Recently, with the digitalization of automobiles, many controllers have been installed, and various communication functions between the controllers enable the vehicle to be remotely located and discover nearby charging stations via the Internet or a smartphone. All information on the current state of the vehicle can be monitored in real time, such as simply performing battery charging or preconditioning by touching a button. In addition, an intelligent driving assistance system obtains road driving information, thereby creating a more convenient driving environment for the driver.

[0003] In this regard, an instrument cluster is used to provide basic vehicle functions such as speed, mileage, odometer, and revolutions per minute (RPM) gauges of the engine. In addition, it provides, for example, charging infrastructure network information, distance to empty (DTE) of the remaining fuel, the current state of the battery, information output, and other accurate and convenient vehicle information required for the driving environment.

[0004] Specifically, in recent years, vehicles have used digital instruments of various digital cockpits to effectively represent vehicle information. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technology for processing these digital cockpits in an integrated manner.

[0005] In addition, recently, vehicles need to provide convenience of use to drivers and passengers in various display modes, and a technology for changing the cockpit layout according to these display modes is required. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. To clearly describe the present disclosure in the drawings, components irrelevant to the description are omitted, and similar reference numerals are assigned to similar components throughout the specification.

[0042] Throughout the specification, when a component "includes" a certain element, unless otherwise specified, this means that it may also include other elements without excluding them.

[0043] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an exemplary front display including multiple display areas according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0044] Assume Figure 1 The front display 100 shown in is provided in front of the driver's seat and the passenger's seat of the mobile device. In other words, the front display 100 is preferably provided across the front of the passenger seat and the front of the driver's seat of the mobile device. The mobile device may include an automobile, a vehicle, an autonomous vehicle, a truck, an electric vehicle (EV), a movable device, etc.

[0045] In addition, Figure 1The front display 100 shown in the figure may include a plurality of display areas 110, 120, 130, and 140. Although the plurality of display areas 110, 120, 130, and 140 are shown in Figure 1 as specifically including a first shy button 110, a first in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) display 120, a second IVI display 130, and a second shy button 140, they may also be configured in various other forms.

[0046] The shy buttons 110 and 140 generally refer to buttons configured to be recognized in the user's field of view only when needed. In Figure 1 the example, the first shy button 110 is a shy button that provides functions available to the driver (e.g., functions related to driving control) when needed, and the second shy button 140 is a shy button that provides functions available to the passenger in the passenger seat (e.g., functions related to music playback) when needed.

[0047] The first IVI display 120 may display meters, meter widgets, maps, media related to the driver's driving, and weather-related applications, and reset the display application area according to the driver's (or passenger's) operations or condition settings.

[0048] The second IVI display 130 may display applications that can be controlled by the passenger, such as weather-related controls, media, and maps.

[0049] However, the above configuration of the display is an example, and the corresponding areas may be displayed in an integrated manner according to the driver / passenger's operations or condition settings. For example, when the display mode is set to the theater mode described later, a single integrated image may be displayed on the first IVI display 120 and the second IVI display 130.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a low mode is proposed to be supported among multiple display modes to ensure the driver's forward view. During the operation of the low mode, the front display 100 can be controlled to move downward by a controller (not shown).

[0051] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a perspective panel 150 as shown in Figure 1 is also proposed. As described above, the front display 100 can be configured such that when the low mode is applied and the front display 100 moves downward, the light from the lower area of the front display 100 passes through the perspective panel 150 to provide information to the driver and the passenger.

[0052] It is assumed that the information provided through the perspective panel 150 is information corresponding to the screens displayed by each of the first shy button 110, the first IVI display 120, the second IVI display 130, and the second shy button 140. The information provided through the perspective panel 150 is preferably simplified information compared to the information displayed in the upper part of the front display 100. "Simplified information" may refer to information represented at a low resolution, in a small amount, or a combination of both, compared to the information displayed in the upper part of the front display 100.

[0053] As Figure 1 shown, the cockpit system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include an operating system 160. The operating system 160 may be implemented by a projection method, which will be described later.

[0054] Figure 2 It is a diagram of a method for changing the cockpit layout according to a display mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0055] First, in Figure 2 the embodiment shown, a first mode (S210) may be selected. The first mode is any mode in the first mode group, and the first mode group includes a driving mode, a theater mode, and a relaxation mode. The first mode group is a mode group selected according to whether the mobile device is driving, whether there are passengers, and whether media is being viewed. In addition to the driving mode, the theater mode, and the relaxation mode, the first mode group may include various types of modes, such as an autonomous driving mode and a single viewing mode. However, hereinafter, three example cases of the driving mode, the theater mode, and the relaxation mode will be described by way of example.

[0056] When the selected first mode is the theater mode, the front display and / or the seat layout of the mobile device may be adjusted (S211) by applying the theater mode, which will be described later. Further, when the selected first mode is the relaxation mode, the front display and / or the seat layout of the mobile device may be adjusted (S212) by applying the relaxation mode, which will be described later.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the selected first mode is the driving mode, a second mode (S220) is selected. The second mode is any mode in the second mode group, and the second mode group includes a standard mode, a backward tilt mode, and a low mode.

[0058] The second mode group refers to display modes classified according to the condition of the driver in the driving mode. Although the second mode group may include various other types of modes in addition to the standard mode, the backward tilt mode, and the low mode, such as a driver seat up mode and a driver seat backward tilt mode, hereinafter, three example cases of the standard mode, the backward tilt mode, and the low mode will be described by way of example.

[0059] Selecting the second mode may include measuring a specific part of the driver's face (e.g., the eye / nose position) via a camera (e.g., a driver status monitoring (DSM) camera), and selecting the second mode based on the position of the specific part.

[0060] For example, when the position of the specific part is equal to or higher than a first reference height (e.g., 1 m) (which corresponds to a large sitting height of the driver), the backward tilt mode may be applied to effectively display the front display to the driver. When the position of the specific part is equal to or lower than a second reference height (e.g., 70 cm) (which corresponds to a small sitting height of the driver), the low mode may be applied to ensure the driver's forward vision. In addition, when the position of the specific part is between the first reference height and the second reference height, the standard mode may be applied to ensure the forward vision according to the driver's state and improve the display efficiency.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is proposed that when the second mode selected in step S220 is the low mode, the front display is moved downward (S230), and as described in the foregoing reference Figure 1 The light from the lower area of the downwardly moved front display is transmitted through the perspective panel to provide information to the driver and the passengers (S240).

[0062] Figure 3 A diagram of a specific cockpit layout change according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0063] In Figure 3 the embodiment of, as described in the foregoing reference Figure 2 The display modes are mainly divided into three modes: a driving mode 310, a theater mode 320, and a relaxation mode 330. In addition, as shown in the figure, the driving mode 310 is divided into three modes: a standard mode 311, a backward tilt mode 312, and a low mode 313.

[0064] Specifically, in the driving mode 310, considering the high line-of-sight direction of the driver, the backward tilt mode 312 can be regarded as a mode in which the front display tilts backward (S310). Therefore, the overall height of the front display has an increasing effect (S311). In Figure 3 , in the backward tilt mode 312, when viewed from above the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, the front display is tilted backward compared to the standard mode (S312).

[0065] In addition, considering the low line-of-sight direction of the driver, the low mode 313 of the driving mode 310 can be regarded as a mode in which the front display moves downward (S320 and S321). This improves the driver's forward vision, as described in the foregoing reference Figure 1and Figure 2 As described, light from the lower region of the front display can be used to provide simplified information to the driver / passenger through the transparent panel.

[0066] In theater mode 320, the front display preferably moves upward so that its height is greater than its height in driving mode 310 (S331). Additionally, the driver seat / passenger seat preferably reclines backward (S333) and moves backward (S334).

[0067] Figure 3 An example is shown where the steering wheel also moves in a direction away from the driver to provide the driver with sufficient space to comfortably watch a movie (S332). Preferably, as Figure 3 shown, the front display can be implemented as a single display suitable for watching a movie by integrating multiple display areas.

[0068] In addition, in relaxation mode 330, the driver seat / passenger seat can recline backward to provide the driver / passenger with a comfortable rest (S340). Additionally, the driver seat / passenger seat preferably moves backward (S341). In this case, the steering wheel can also move in a direction away from the driver, thereby providing a comfortable rest space for the driver (S342).

[0069] Figure 4 It is a detailed view of the display position of each display mode in driving mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0070] First, in Figure 4 the embodiment shown, in standard mode 311, the display position is preferably set at a height where 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.

[0071] Next, in Figure 4 the embodiment shown, in backward tilt mode 312, the height of the driver's eyes / nose can be measured, and as described above, the front display 100 can be tilted backward accordingly (S310) to improve the display efficiency for the driver. Additionally, in a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, it can be configured to finely adjust the backward tilt degree of the front display 100 through the first shy button 110.

[0072] Finally, in Figure 4 the embodiment shown, in low mode 313, the height of the driver's eyes / nose can be measured, and as described above, the front display 100 can be moved downward to ensure the forward field of view (S320). In this case, as described above, it can be configured to provide simplified information through the light from the bottom of the front display 100 via the transparent panel 150.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the low mode 313, there is an area covered by the downward movement of the display below the shy buttons 110 and 140. Given the characteristics of the shy buttons 110 and 140, it may not be effective to provide information using light from the bottoms of the shy buttons 110 and 140 via the transparent panel 150. Therefore, different from the IVI displays 120 and 130, it can be configured to change the arrangement of the buttons for the uncovered areas of the shy buttons 110 and 140 in the low mode 313 to maintain the existing functions of the shy buttons.

[0074] Figure 4 An embodiment is shown in which the operating system 160 is implemented in a projection manner using the internal projector 410. To implement the display-type operating system 160, a light-emitting display such as an LED display can be used. However, there are many curved / bent surfaces in the interior space of a mobile device (specifically, a vehicle), and it is difficult to implement a light-emitting display considering these interior characteristics.

[0075] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the internal projector 410 can be used in front of the mobile device to configure the operating system 160 in a projection manner. As Figure 4 shown, the operating system 160 can be advantageously and freely implemented even in a space with various curved / bent surfaces.

[0076] Figure 5 It is a diagram of a method for ensuring the field of view of a driver / passenger according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0077] Figure 5 The left side of shows the concept of ensuring the forward field of view of the driver in the low mode 313. As described above, the front display can be moved downward, and the light from the lower area of the front display can be used to provide simplified information via the transparent panel.

[0078] Figure 5 The right side of shows the concept of ensuring the field of view of the driver / passenger in the driver's seat / passenger seat and the field of view of the passenger in the rear seat in the theater mode 320. Preferably, as described above, the front display is moved upward to a higher position than in the driving mode (S331), and the driver's seat / passenger seat is tilted backward (S333) and moved backward (S334). The steering wheel can be moved in a direction away from the driver to provide sufficient space (S332).

[0079] In this embodiment, it is further proposed to move the rear seat upward to ensure the field of view of the passenger in the rear seat as well as the driver / passenger in the driver's seat / passenger seat (S510). By combining the backward tilt of the front seat (S333) and the upward movement of the rear seat (S510), the line of sight of the passenger in the rear seat towards the front display can be ensured.

[0080] Figure 6 and Figure 7 is a view of the concept of an actuator according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned movement of the front display and the movement of the seat can be performed by receiving an operation signal from a driver or a passenger. Figure 6 and Figure 7 shows an example of an actuator according to these embodiments.

[0082] Figure 6 shows the concept of the display movement button 610. Figure 6 On the left side of [the figure] shows the actuator 610, which displays a button combination for moving the front display up / down and a button combination for tilting the front display forward / backward. In addition, Figure 6 on the right side of [the figure] shows the implementation of adding the actuator 610 to the favorites on the display.

[0083] Figure 6 The actuator 610 shown in [the figure] can be displayed as an application on the front display, set in the projection type operating system 160 described above with reference to Figure 4 or separately set on the handle on the right side of the driver's seat.

[0084] Figure 7 shows an exemplary actuator 710, which is implemented to enable selection of a display mode including seat movement on the projection type operating system 160. In the Figure 7 example shown, the actuator 710 provides a button combination by which a driving mode, a theater mode, and a relaxation mode are selected. Obviously, the actuator 710 can be configured to only display and select the modes related to the seat arrangement separately.

[0085] Figure 8 is a view of the content displayed on the front display in the standard mode of the driving mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0086] In Figure 8 the embodiment of [the figure], as in the Figure 1 example of [the figure], the front display includes a first shy button 110, a first IVI display 120, a second IVI display 130, and a second shy button 140, and the first IVI display 120 is separately displayed as an instrument 120-1, an instrument widget 120-2, and an IVI 120-3.

[0087] Specifically, the instrument 120-1 can display an instrument screen related to driving information. In the Figure 8 example of [the figure], the instrument 120-1 displays driving navigation information, vehicle speed, mileage, and battery status of an electric vehicle.

[0088] The meter widget 120-2 displays information in the form of a widget. In Figure 8 the example, warning message A, virtual personal assistant (VPA) B, turn by turn (TBT) C, and information type widgets are selected using the first to fourth priorities, respectively. However, this is only an exemplary configuration, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0089] Different from the second IVI display 130 for the passenger seat, the IVI 120-3 can provide an IVI display for the driver. In Figure 8 the example, map, media, and weather information are provided. However, this is only an exemplary configuration, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0090] In Figure 8 the embodiment shown, the operating system is divided into a driver operating system 810, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) operator 820, and a passenger operating system 830. In addition, the upper part of the operating system includes an operation button unit 840 displayed in the form of shortcuts, and the position of the shortcuts can preferably be interchanged with the position in the form of an animation in the lower part.

[0091] Figure 9 It is a diagram of the content displayed on the front display in the low mode of the driving mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0092] In Figure 9 the embodiment, it is still assumed that the multiple display areas of the front display are the same as those in Figure 8 the embodiment. Here, when the low mode is applied, the front display is moved downward (S910), and the light emitted from the lower area of the front display provides additional information via the transparent panel 150.

[0093] Preferably, compared with the upper area of the front display, the display via the transparent panel 150 shows simplified information, and the background color 150-1 is preferably a soft color that can provide comfort to the driver / passenger. However, when the information provided via the transparent panel 150 sends a warning message to the driver / passenger, the transparent display preferably operates using a strong color 150-2 that can provide alertness.

[0094] In Figure 9In an embodiment, in the low mode, there are areas covered due to the downward movement of the display below the shy buttons 110 and 140. Given the characteristics of the shy buttons 110 and 140, it may not be effective to provide information using light from the bottoms of the shy buttons 110 and 140 via the transparent panel 150. Therefore, different from the IVI displays 120 and 130, the shy buttons 110 and 140 are configured such that in the low mode 313, the arrangement of the buttons is changed to maintain the existing functions of the shy buttons in the uncovered areas (S910).

[0095] In addition, Figure 9 An embodiment proposes that in the boundary area of multiple display areas, a separate light-emitting display 910 (e.g., an LED display) is provided in an area where perspective display through the transparent panel 150 cannot be performed. The light-emitting display 910 can be configured to provide additional information and, as described later, be used as an indoor mood light together with the perspective display area 150.

[0096] Figure 10 and Figure 11 is a diagram of the content displayed through the transparent panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0097] As described above, when the low mode is applied, the front display can move downward in units of multiple display areas, and compared with the information displayed in the upper part of the front display, the light from the lower area of the front display can provide simplified information via the transparent panel 150.

[0098] As in Figure 10 an embodiment, the information displayed through the transparent panel may include information corresponding to each of the multiple display areas corresponding to the upper part of the front display. That is, when the multiple display areas of the front display include the first shy button 110, the first IVI display 120, the second IVI display 130, and the second shy button 140, and the first IVI display 120 is divided into the instrument 120-1, the instrument widget 120-2, and the IVI 120-3 as described above, the information corresponding to each of these areas can be displayed through the transparent panel 150.

[0099] In Figure 10 an embodiment, when driving information is displayed through the instrument 120-1, the information displayed through the corresponding transparent panel 150 may be a driving-related warning message 120-1 / 150, which is simplified information corresponding to the driving information. In addition, when a specific widget is run through the IVI 120-3 and / or the second IVI display 130, the shortcut function buttons 120-3 / 150 and / or 130 / 150 of the specific widget can be displayed through the corresponding areas of the transparent panel 150.

[0100] The shy buttons 110 and 140 can be configured such that, in view of the characteristics of the shy buttons, as indicated by the reference numerals 110 / 150 and / or 140 / 150, the display information of the shy buttons 110 and 140 is also maintained through the transparent panel 150.
