Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent human-computer interaction technology in automobiles, and in particular to a mouth box structure that integrates gesture and touch control. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the opening and closing of automotive air vents is generally controlled by physical buttons, mechanical cables, or remote control triggering, which have limitations such as fixed operating positions, easy accidental activation in rainy weather, and the need for close-range operation.
