Description

The present invention relates to a method for operating an information system of an electrically driven motor vehicle, and to a corresponding information system and a motor vehicle according to the independent claims.Information systems for electrically driven motor vehicles are fundamentally known from the prior art. If, for example, a longer route is being driven with a fully electric motor vehicle, corresponding charge stops must be scheduled on the vehicle. These charge stops are typically used by the driver of the motor vehicle or passengers for entertainment or also for toilet or coffee pauses.DE 10 2021 001 377 A1, for example, describes a method for executing a video game during a charging process of an electrical energy store of a motor vehicle.DE 10 2018 221 981 A1 describes an entertainment system for a motor vehicle, in which computer games are likewise installed in order to bridge the charging time.DE 10 2020 212 686 A1 also describes a system in which information regarding sports grounds, travelling routes, walking routes or running routes is made available to a user so that the user can become sportsally active during the suspension.It is the object of the present invention to further develop a method for operating an information system of an electrically driven motor vehicle in such a way that charging pauses can be used for sports purposes effectively and preferably individually tailored to the user.The aforementioned object is achieved by a method for operating an information system of an electrically driven motor vehicle, which comprises a battery. It can be a partially electrically driven motor vehicle, in other weeks a hybrid vehicle, or a fully electrically driven motor vehicle.The method comprises a composition of a sports program comprising a plurality of sports exercise as a function of a charging time of the battery for use by an occupant of the motor vehicle during a charging pause. Because the motor vehicle is at least partially electrically driven, it is usually necessary to charge, so that particularly in the case of longer routes, charging pauses, in other words charging stops, are unavoidable. The method is designed to compile a sports program as a function of the charging time, so that the charging pause can be used sportically as effectively as possible. In this case, the method can be designed, in particular, to calculate charging pauses with respect to their length on the basis of navigation data, such as, for example, the entered destination or the selected or calculated route, and thus also to determine the route calculation including the charging pauses.The information system can be a permanently installed information system, which can comprise a navigation system, for example, of the vehicle. Furthermore, it may be a portable device, such as a smartphone or a tablet, which is connectable to the vehicle.Above all, the sports program is composed taking at least one property of the occupant into account. The occupant may be the driver or another passenger of the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle is in particular a passenger motor vehicle. The at least one property may be queried beforehand. Furthermore, the at least one property can be determined by means of an interior sensor and / or a weight sensor. The interior sensor is in particular a camera arranged in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle and / or a RADAR sensor and / or a LIDAR sensor. The weight sensor may be installed in a seat, preferably each seat, or only the driver's seat.The property can be primarily a weight and / or a sex and / or a height and / or a sports condition and / or a sports preference of the occupant. The corresponding properties can be queried beforehand, as already described above. This is effected in particular by corresponding acoustic queries or by corresponding visual queries which can be displayed on a screen of the information system. The occupant can, for example, specify or type the properties via the screen.The sporting condition can be primarily the state of sporting performance. This can be queried or determined in particular by determining how often the occupant operates sports, for example, in a predefined period of time. Furthermore, the sporting condition can be determined by an own estimation of the occupant. By means of an interior sensor, the sporting condition can be estimated by estimating the physical structure of the occupant. The weight can also be taken into account here. Thus, for example, the passenger's size can be estimated by means of the interior sensor and, for example, a body mass index can be determined together with the weight information as an indication of the sporting condition.With regard to the sporting preference, the occupant can, for example, select whether he would like to train specific parts of the body and / or also a type of sports program, for example endurance or force training.Overall, the method thus enables the provision of an individual sports program as a function of the duration of the charging pause and also of at least one property of the occupant, such that the charging pause can be used effectively and individually tailored for sports purposes.The method may comprise checking correct execution of the sports exercise of the sports program, wherein the checking comprises monitoring movement of the occupant by means of a sensor. The sensor can be, in particular, the interior sensor and / or an exterior sensor of the motor vehicle.As already described above, the interior sensor can be a camera arranged in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle and / or a LIDAR sensor and / or a RADAR sensor. The external sensor can likewise be a sensor, preferably a camera and / or a LIDAR and / or RADAR sensor, which is arranged on the outside of the vehicle.The interior sensor can be oriented movably and / or pivotably or rotatably, for example, so that it can cover both the passenger compartment and a region of the exterior compartment of the motor vehicle and thus at least a region of the environment of the motor vehicle.The method can comprise an output of instructions for carrying out and / or correcting the execution of the sports exercise of the sports program. The instructions can be displayed visually, for example, by a display on a corresponding screen or also acoustically by a corresponding acoustic instruction. The instructions can be used both for carrying out the sports exercise and for correction when a faulty execution of the sports exercise is detected.In particular, the method can comprise a projection of at least one pattern for executing the sports program on a surface. The surface can be in particular a floor section in the immediate vicinity of the motor vehicle, preferably in front of the motor vehicle. The pattern can be, for example, a geometric pattern, such as a line, a point, a circle, a rectangle or a polygon. The at least one pattern serves for spatial orientation during the execution of the sports exercise. The projection can be generated by means of at least one headlight. Preferably, it can be an LED headlight of the motor vehicle.Furthermore, a link to a user profile of the occupant is possible. In this way, properties of the occupant can be taken from the profile, so that they do not have to be ascertained or queried again.In a further aspect, the invention relates to an information system of an electrically driven motor vehicle comprising a battery, wherein the information system comprises an evaluation unit which is designed to compile a sports program comprising a plurality of sports exercise as a function of a charging time of the battery for use of an occupant during a charging pause. In particular, the information system is designed to carry out a method described above.In particular, the information system can comprise at least one interior sensor for determining at least one property of the occupant. Furthermore, the information system can comprise at least one screen for displaying the sports trainings to be carried out and / or for querying at least one property of the occupant. In addition, the information system can comprise an interior sensor and / or an exterior sensor for checking correct execution of the sports practice of the sports program. This can be the same interior sensor as for ascertaining at least one property of the occupant. Furthermore, the system can comprise a projection unit, for example a headlight, in order to project at least one pattern for executing the sports program onto a surface. The surface can also be a wall section of a wall arranged, for example, in front of the motor vehicle.In a further aspect, the invention relates to a motor vehicle comprising an information system, which is described above, which comprises at least one holder for cooperation with at least one training device. The training device can be, in particular, an expander with which sports exercises can be amplified by the corresponding resistance. The holder can be in particular an eyelet and / or a projection, preferably in the france of the motor vehicle, into which the corresponding expander can engage.They are shown in a purely schematic illustration FIG. 1 shows a method sequence of a method for operating an information system of an electrically driven motor vehicle; and FIG. 2 shows an information system of an electrically driven motor vehicle. FIG. 3 shows a vehicle comprising an information system 10 and a projection unitFIG. 1 shows a method diagram of a method 100 for operating an information system 10 of an electrically driven motor vehicle. The method 100 comprises the compilation 101 of a sports program comprising a plurality of sports exercises as a function of a charging time of the battery, which a passenger of the motor vehicle can then use during the corresponding pause in charging.At least one property of the occupant may be taken into account 102 during the compilation. This property can be queried 102 aor determined 102 bpreviously by means of a sensor. The method 100 can comprise an output 103 of instructions for carrying out the sports program. Furthermore, the method can comprise a projection 104 of at least one pattern for executing the sports program on a surface. Furthermore, the correct execution of the sports exercises can be checked 105, which presupposes a monitoring 105 aof the movement of the occupant by means of a sensor. Furthermore, instructions for performing the sports exercise or correcting an execution of the sports exercises can be output 105 b.FIG. 2 shows an information system 10 of an electrically driven motor vehicle. The information system 10 comprises an evaluation unit 11 which is designed to compile a sports program comprising a multiplicity of sports exercise as a function of a charging time of the battery.
