Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle system. Background Art

[0002] Currently, cameras inside a vehicle are usually installed in the rearview mirror in the middle, so they can only be used for rearview display. In addition, the integration of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) device, the in-vehicle infotainment device, and the instrument panel inside the vehicle is insufficient, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The vehicle system of the present invention includes a center information display (CID), an electronic mirror on the driver's side (E-Mirror), and a processor. The center console includes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) device. The electronic mirror on the driver's side includes a monitoring camera. The processor is coupled to the center console and the electronic mirror on the driver's side. The processor receives vehicle internal parameters, where the vehicle internal parameters include a driving fatigue value and a driving line of sight. The processor receives the driving fatigue value and the driving line of sight through the monitoring camera. The processor uses the vehicle internal parameters and vehicle external parameters to set the temperature, air volume, and air direction of the HVAC device.

In one embodiment, the vehicle system 100 may include a passenger side electronic mirror 150 coupled to the processor 130.

[0025] The processor 130 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), or other programmable general-purpose or special-purpose micro control unit (MCU), microprocessor, digital signal processor (DSP), programmable controller, application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), graphics processing unit (GPU), image signal processor (ISP), image processing unit (IPU), arithmetic logic unit (ALU), complex programmable logic device (CPLD), field programmable gate array (FPGA), or other similar components, or a combination of the above components.

[0026] In this embodiment, the processor 130 can receive vehicle internal parameters, where the vehicle internal parameters can include a driving fatigue value and a driving line of sight, and the processor 130 can receive the driving fatigue value and the driving line of sight through the monitoring camera 121. Then, the processor 130 can use the vehicle internal parameters and vehicle external parameters to set the temperature, air volume, and air direction of the HVAC device 111. In one embodiment, the vehicle internal parameters can include the steering wheel rotation frequency, the temperature of the center console 110, the frequency of the center console 110, the braking degree, and the vehicle speed. In one embodiment, the vehicle external parameters can include weather, brightness, and surrounding object information.
