[0029] The objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which: Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a system for controlling a device in a vehicle using augmented reality, according to an embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a device in a vehicle using augmented reality according to an embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 3 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention wherein an image of a dashboard center is captured on a screen of a mobile device; Fig. 4 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention when the image of the dashboard center is divided into a reference area and a non-reference area; and Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention, wherein image pattern information of an air conditioning grille for a vehicle type is stored by the mobile device. Detailed description of the exemplary embodiment

[0030] A system for controlling a device in a vehicle using augmented reality according to the present invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings of Fig. 1 to 6, which illustrate some exemplary embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] Augmented reality is a user interface technology that overlays a virtual, computer-generated image based on a user's perspective onto an image of the real world. By using augmented reality, the user can gain a heightened perception and experience of reality.

[0032] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a system for controlling a device in a vehicle using augmented reality according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] As in Fig. 1, the system may include a mobile device 100, a driving control unit 200, a vehicle object unit 300, and an in-vehicle device 400.

[0034] According to an exemplary embodiment, the mobile device captures an image of the vehicle object unit 300, receives a vehicle control command via the image, and transmits the vehicle control command to the driving control unit 200. Preferably, the mobile device 100 includes a camera 100, a storage unit 120, a radio communication unit 130, a control unit 140, and a display unit 150. In certain embodiments, the mobile device 100 may include a terminal, such as a mobile phone, in which various applications may be implemented.

[0035] The camera 110 captures the image of the vehicle object unit 300. In certain aspects, the camera 110 may not photograph an image, but rather may be in a powered-on state so that the image as viewed by the camera 110 can be displayed on the display unit 150 of the mobile device 100.

[0036] The storage unit 120 may be configured to store vehicle type information received from the driving control unit 200. The storage unit 120 may also be configured to store pattern information and coordinate information of the image of the vehicle object unit 300 about the vehicle type. For example, if the vehicle object unit 300 is the center of a dashboard, the image pattern information of the vehicle object unit 300 may indicate pattern information of an air conditioning grille.

[0037] The radio combination unit 130 is configured to communicate wirelessly with the driving control unit 200, for example via Bluetooth or other known means.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 140 may be configured to divide a captured image (e.g., an image captured by the camera 110) of the vehicle object unit 300 into a reference area 320 and a non-reference area 330 based on the vehicle type information. Further, if it is determined that the image pattern information (about the vehicle type) of the vehicle object unit 300 stored in the storage unit 120 matches the pattern information of the reference area of ​​the image captured by the camera 110, the control unit 140 is configured to enter the vehicle remote control mode, and an icon is provided on the mobile device to allow input of a control command of the in-vehicle device.Further, upon receiving the control command of the in-vehicle device, the control unit 140 may also be configured to transmit the transmission of the in-vehicle control command to the driving control unit 200.

[0039] In certain embodiments, when an operation button positioned on the captured image is touched, the control unit 140 may be configured to detect coordinate information of a touched area and compare the coordinate information of the touched area with previously stored coordinate information of the image to identify a corresponding command of the operation button.For example, in the image of a dashboard center of a vehicle type “Sonata”, when a coordinate of an audio operation knob is stored as (A, B) and a coordinate of the digital multimedia broadcast (DMB) operation knob is stored as (C, D), and a coordinate of an area corresponding to (C, D) is touched by a user on the captured image (on the mobile device), it is determined that the user wishes to operate the DMB operation knob, and a command signal for DMB operation is transmitted to the driving control unit 200.

[0040] In preferred embodiments, when the driving control unit 200 receives a command signal from the mobile device 100, the device 400 in the vehicle is controlled according to the command signal. According to some embodiments, when the mobile device 100 approaches within a predetermined distance of the vehicle, the driving control unit 200 transmits the vehicle type information of the vehicle to the mobile device 100.

[0041] As in Fig. 1, the vehicle object unit 300 may include an object such as the center of a dashboard 310 that is to be controlled remotely.

[0042] According to embodiments of the present invention, the device 400 in the vehicle may include, for example, an air conditioner, an audio unit, a radio, a DMB, an interior lighting device, and a window up and down module, but is not limited to these.

[0043] Hereinafter, with reference to Fig. 2 describes a method of controlling a device in the vehicle using augmented reality in further detail according to an embodiment of the present invention. In detail, Fig. 2 shows an example of controlling the center of the vehicle's dashboard 310. However, it should be noted that the present invention can also be applied to various other vehicle controls, such as, but is not limited to, opening and closing a door or window of the vehicle.

[0044] As in Fig. 2, first, image pattern information of a dashboard center about the vehicle type is stored in the storage unit 120 of the mobile device 100 (S101). For example, the mobile device 100 may previously download and store the image pattern information of the dashboard center about the vehicle type, for example, via a telematics center (not shown) or via a website related to the vehicle.

[0045] In certain embodiments, the dashboard center image may be based on the vehicle type (as is the case, for example, in Fig. 3), as shown for example in Fig. 4, the air conditioning grille units on both sides are determined as the reference surface 320 and a central surface is determined as the non-reference surface 330. Each reference surface 320 can be patterned and stored according to the vehicle type, as shown, for example, in the Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 is shown. Fig. 5 shows an example of a pattern image when the air conditioning grille units are placed at both ends of the dashboard center and Fig. 6 shows an example of a pattern image when the air conditioning grille units are placed side by side in the upper area of ​​the dashboard center.

[0046] Next, the mobile device 100 and the vehicle perform radio communication between them, so that the mobile device 100 receives the vehicle type information from the driving control unit 200 of the vehicle (S102). In some embodiments, a method may be provided wherein the mobile device 100 receives the vehicle type information when the driving control unit 200 detects that the mobile device 100 is within a predetermined distance from the vehicle and then transmits the vehicle type information to the mobile device 100.In some embodiments, the method may be implemented such that when a user is in the vehicle and the mobile device 100 sends a request for the vehicle type information to the vehicle (e.g., by operating a vehicle remote control application), the mobile device 100 sends a request for the vehicle type information to the driving control unit 200, and the driving control unit 200 transmits the vehicle type information to the mobile device 100.

[0047] Next, as in Fig. 2, when the camera 110 of the mobile device 100 is operated by a user to display the dashboard center 310 on the screen of the mobile device 100 (S103), the control unit 140 divides the image of the dashboard center 310 displayed on the screen into the reference area 320 and the non-reference area 330 (S104). For example, when the vehicle type is Sonata, the air conditioning grilles on both sides are positioned as shown in Fig. 5 and therefore, the two side parts of the image of the dashboard center displayed on the screen are referred to as the reference area 320, and a central area is referred to as the non-reference area 330. Next, as shown in Fig.2, the control unit 140 compares the pattern information of the reference area 320 of an image of the dashboard center shown on the screen with the image pattern information of the dashboard center about the vehicle type previously stored in S101 (S105).

[0048] If a comparison result of S105 indicates a mismatch, the height and / or angle of the camera 110 is adjusted to position the dashboard center air conditioning grille on the mobile device screen. If the comparison result of S105 indicates a match, the control unit 140 enters the vehicle remote control mode (S106).

[0049] Next, the control unit 140 controls a dashboard center control icon to appear on the display unit 150 of the mobile device 100 (S107). For example, the dashboard center control icon may include an icon associated with a vehicle control system, such as the air conditioner, navigation unit, audio unit, DMB, interior lighting device of a vehicle, and the like.

[0050] Next, when a user selects the icon displayed on the display unit 150 of the mobile device 100 (S108), the control unit 140 transmits a command signal corresponding to the selected icon to the driving control unit 200 via the wireless communication unit 130 (S109). In certain preferred embodiments, the wireless communication unit 130 performs Bluetooth communication.

[0051] Next, the driving control unit 200 controls the device 400 in the vehicle (for example, the air conditioner, the audio unit, the navigation unit, the DMB, or the interior lighting device of a vehicle) according to the command signal received from the mobile device 100 (S110).

[0052] In the described embodiments of the present invention, it is specified that the pattern image is determined based on the shape of an air conditioning grille, the shape and / or dimension of which generally varies depending on the vehicle type. However, it should be noted that the pattern image may be determined based on the shape and / or dimension of any other control knob of a vehicle, for example, an audio control knob or a radio control knob of the dashboard center.

[0053] In addition, the use of the dashboard center control icon will be described in detail in the specific embodiments of the present invention. However, it should be noted that when setting a touch screen, a user can directly touch the center portion 330 of the dashboard center image information to input a command. Thus, for example, the coordinate information of each operation button of the center portion 330 of the dashboard center image information about the vehicle type may be previously stored in the storage unit 120. Preferably, when the operation button of the center portion 330 of the dashboard center image information is touched by the user, a corresponding command signal is identified by the control unit 140 according to the coordinate information of a position being touched and transmitted to the driving control unit 200.
