Description
Steering information sensing device, method and computer program product Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a steering information sensing device, method, and computer program product thereof; more specifically, the present invention relates to a steering information sensing device, method, and computer program product thereof that utilizes a pressure sensor to obtain steering information. Background Technology
[0002] Statistics show that motorcycle accidents account for a significant proportion of traffic accidents in Taiwan, primarily due to insufficient experience and skill among riders in handling road conditions. For example, excessive speed when entering curves, improper handlebar angles (the angle of the front wheel relative to the motorcycle) or body lean angles (the angle of the motorcycle relative to the ground) during turns can all threaten the lives of motorcyclists and other road users. While training can generally improve riders' ability to judge road conditions, conventional motorcycle training techniques rely on manual recording, analysis, and evaluation of riders' handling of curves. However, these techniques are inefficient in sensing and collecting information about curves, and cannot digitize this information.
[0003] In view of this, how to provide a method that can efficiently sense and collect information about a user's turning and digitize it is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of this invention. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides a steering information sensing device. The steering information sensing device includes a pressure sensing module, a processor, and a memory, with the processor electrically connected to the pressure sensing module and the memory. The pressure sensing module includes two pressure sensors, respectively disposed on a left handlebar and a right handlebar on opposite sides of a vehicle's handlebars, for sensing a first left pressure value applied by the user to the left handlebar and a first right pressure value applied to the right handlebar when the user operates the left and right handlebars to steer. The memory stores the first left pressure value and the first right pressure value.
[0005] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention also provides a steering information sensing method. This steering information sensing method may include: sensing, through a pressure sensing module, a first left pressure value applied by a user to the left handlebar and a first right pressure value applied to the right handlebar when the user operates a left handlebar and a right handlebar on opposite sides of a vehicle's handlebars to steer; and storing the first left pressure value and the first right pressure value.
[0006] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention also provides a computer program product. After loading the computer program product into an electronic device, the electronic device executes the following program instructions: through a pressure sensing module, sensing a first left pressure value applied by a user to the left handlebar and a first right pressure value applied by the user to the right handlebar when the user operates a left handlebar and a right handlebar on opposite sides of a vehicle's handlebar to steer; and storing the first left pressure value and the first right pressure value.
[0007] As described above, the steering information sensing technology (including the device, method, and computer program product) provided by the present invention senses the pressure value applied by a user to a handlebar of a vehicle when turning (i.e., a first left pressure value corresponding to the left grip and a first right pressure value corresponding to the right grip) through a pressure sensing module. The steering information sensing technology then stores this pressure value. Therefore, the steering information sensing technology provided by the present invention can efficiently sense and collect information about the vehicle user's turning movements and store it, thereby providing objective and quantitative information to those who wish to assess the riding condition of the vehicle user (e.g., the vehicle user or a driving instructor).

[0011] The following will explain the content of the claimed invention through embodiments. This invention relates to a steering information sensing device, a steering information sensing method, and a computer program product thereof. It should be noted that the embodiments of this invention are not intended to limit the invention to any specific environment, application, or special method described in the embodiments. Therefore, the description of the embodiments is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the invention, and the scope of this claim is defined by the claims. Furthermore, in the following embodiments and drawings, elements not directly related to the invention have been omitted and are not shown, and the dimensional relationships between the elements in the following drawings are for ease of understanding only and are not intended to limit the actual scale.
[0012] The terminology described herein is for ease of describing the embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention for which protection is sought. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the singular "a" or "an" shall be considered to include the plural. Terms such as "comprising," "having," etc., are used to specifically describe the presence of features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups stated thereafter, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other additional features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups, etc. The term "and / or" is used to indicate any or all combinations of one or more related enumerated items. The terms "first," "second," etc., used to describe elements are not intended to limit the described elements, but merely to distinguish the described elements. Thus, for example, a first element may also be named a second element without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention for which protection is sought.
[0013] Some embodiments of the present invention relate to a steering information sensing device 1, which can be applied to a vehicle (hereinafter referred to as "vehicle") such as a motorcycle or a bicycle, which can be steered by a user, particularly to a handlebar (steer handle) for controlling the riding direction of the vehicle, but is not limited thereto. Additionally, in this document, the user may ride the vehicle on a closed road (e.g., a driving school road or a racetrack road) for more accurate information sensing, but is not limited thereto.
[0014] It should be noted that this invention primarily focuses on sensing and collecting specific data (e.g., pressure values, vehicle position information, and vehicle lean angle information) that affect the user's cornering motion while riding the vehicle. Those skilled in the art will be familiar with how to sense and collect other relevant data (e.g., vehicle speed, wind speed, temperature, riding distance, road gradient, or altitude), so these will not be elaborated upon.
[0015] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of the architecture of a steering information sensing device 1 according to certain embodiments of the present invention. The content shown in Figure 1 is merely illustrative of embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] As shown in Figure 1, the steering information sensing device 1 can basically include a pressure sensing module 10 and a memory 12, with the pressure sensing module 10 electrically connected (directly or indirectly) to the memory 12. The pressure sensing module 10 may also include two pressure sensors (e.g., a left pressure sensor 101 and a right pressure sensor 102), respectively disposed on a left handlebar and a right handlebar on opposite sides of the vehicle's handlebars, to sense a first left pressure value P1 and a first right pressure value P2 applied by the user to the left handlebar and the right handlebar. For example, when the user is turning while riding the vehicle, the left pressure sensor 101 and the right pressure sensor 102 can sense the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2 applied by the user to the left handlebar and the right handlebar. The memory 12 can then store the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2.
[0017] Figure 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of a dual pressure sensor module according to certain embodiments of the present invention. The following description, in conjunction with Figure 2, illustrates how the dual pressure sensors are configured on the vehicle. The content shown in Figure 2 is merely illustrative of embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] Specifically, the two pressure sensors of the pressure sensing module 10 (i.e., a left pressure sensor 101 and a right pressure sensor 102) can be various types of pressure sensors. For example, piezoelectric pressure sensors, piezoresistive sensors, or capacitive sensors, but are not limited thereto. In this document, a piezoelectric pressure sensor will be used as an example. In some embodiments, the two pressure sensors can be pressure sensing patches, in which a plurality of sensing units can be distributed to sense the pressure value of each area. That is, the left pressure sensor 101 and the right pressure sensor 102 can be two pressure sensing patches, respectively covering the surfaces of the left grip portion and the right grip portion, to sense the stress applied to the pressure sensing patches and thereby generate a voltage value. It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the arrangement of the pressure sensors. For example, the pressure sensors can also be disposed in the left grip portion and the right grip portion, which will not be elaborated here.
[0019] The memory 12 may include a first-level storage device (e.g., memory) and may store a set of instructions read by the processor. In some embodiments, in addition to the first-level storage device, the memory 12 may also include a second-level storage device (e.g., a hard drive, optical disc), which is connected to the processor through an internal I / O channel and uses a data buffer to transfer data to the first-level memory. In some embodiments, in addition to the first-level and second-level storage devices, the memory 12 may also include a third-level storage device (e.g., a USB flash drive, cloud storage), which may also copy data to the second-level storage device.
[0020] It should be noted that the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2 may include the thrust applied by the user to the left and right handlebars. Similarly, the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2 may include the pull applied by the user to the left and right handlebars. Likewise, the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2 may include both the thrust and pull applied by the user to the left and right handlebars. For example, if the user performs appropriate riding maneuvers (e.g., the same or similar to an instructor's riding maneuvers), when the vehicle turns left, they should apply a thrust to the left handlebar and a pull to the right handlebar. Conversely, when the vehicle turns right, they should apply a pull to the left handlebar and a thrust to the right handlebar. This cornering maneuver is called "counter steering." In other words, when a vehicle is about to turn, the user can temporarily change the direction of the handlebars (e.g., "push with the left hand and pull with the right hand when turning left" or "pull with the left hand and push with the right hand when turning right") to tilt the vehicle's centerline toward the direction of the turn, thus smoothly completing the turn.
[0021] Next, after the pressure sensing module 10 senses the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2, it can store the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2 in the memory 12. Therefore, the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2 sensed and stored by the steering information sensing device 1 can be used to analyze and evaluate whether the user's handling of the curve is appropriate. In other words, the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2 can be used to determine whether the user has appropriately performed counter-steering to turn.
[0022] Figures 3A to 3C illustrate how the steering information sensing device 1, according to certain embodiments of the present invention, senses a first left pressure value and a first right pressure value. The contents shown in Figures 3A to 3C are merely illustrative of embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that the circles in the figures represent the position of the vehicle, and the arrows represent the riding direction of the vehicle. Furthermore, the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2 are exemplified by the thrust applied by the user to the left and right handlebars.
[0023] As shown in Figure 3A, when the user rides the vehicle in a straight line, the left pressure sensor 101 senses a first left pressure value P1 of 2176 millivolts (mV), while the right pressure sensor 102 senses a first right pressure value P2 of 2182 millivolts (that is, the pressure values applied by the user to the left and right handlebars are not significantly different). Next, referring to Figure 3B, when the vehicle makes a left turn, the left pressure sensor 101 senses a first left pressure value P1 of 3682 millivolts, while the right pressure sensor 102 senses a first right pressure value P2 of 1908 millivolts (that is, the pressure value applied by the user to the left handlebars is greater than that to the right handlebars). Next, referring to 3C, when the vehicle returns to a straight line, the left pressure sensor 101 senses a first left pressure value P1 of 2201 millivolts, while the right pressure sensor 102 senses a first right pressure value P2 of 2190 millivolts (that is, the pressure values applied by the user to the left and right grips are not significantly different). Therefore, it can be determined that the user appropriately performed counter-steering when making a left turn while riding the vehicle.
[0024] In some embodiments, the steering information sensing device 1 may further include a display device electrically connected to the processor, and the display device may be configured on the vehicle (e.g., but not limited to, on the handlebars, dashboard, or other location within the user's line of sight). In some embodiments, the display device may be a light bar (e.g., an LED light bar), a speaker, or other display element, but is not limited thereto. The display device can be used to display the riding motion analysis results.
[0025] In some embodiments, the display device can be two light strips (e.g., a left light strip and a right light strip), each with five LEDs. When the pressure sensing module 10 senses a first left pressure value P1 and a first right pressure value P2, the processor can generate a display signal based on these values. The display device then displays the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2 based on the display signal. For example, when the vehicle is making a left turn, if the user appropriately performs counter-steering (e.g., pushing with the left hand and pulling with the right), applying a larger pressure to the left grip and a smaller pressure to the right grip, the left light strip displays one LED, while the right light strip displays five LEDs. As another example, when the vehicle is making a left turn, if the user, due to nervousness, does not appropriately perform counter-steering (e.g., pushing with the left hand and pushing with the right hand),... At this time, because the user performed an inappropriate riding action, the processor did not generate the display signal, and neither the left nor the right light bar displayed any LEDs.
[0026] In some embodiments, the display device can be a speaker. After the pressure sensing module 10 senses the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2, the processor can generate the display signal based on the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2. Then, the speaker can emit sound or remain silent based on the display signal to provide a prompt.
[0027] Figure 4 illustrates schematic diagrams of a right front pressure sensor and a right rear pressure sensor according to certain embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that Figure 4 uses the right pressure sensor 102 as an example for illustration, but the left pressure sensor 101 substantially corresponds to the right pressure sensor 102. The content shown in Figure 4 is merely for illustrating embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] In some embodiments, the left pressure sensor 101 may further include a left front pressure sensor (not shown) and a left rear pressure sensor (not shown), and the left front pressure sensor and the left rear pressure sensor may cover the left grip portion. On the other hand, the right pressure sensor 102 may further include a right front pressure sensor 102a and a right rear pressure sensor 102b, and the right front pressure sensor 102a and the right rear pressure sensor 102b may cover the right grip portion. It should be noted that the left front pressure sensor, the left rear pressure sensor, the right front pressure sensor 102a, and the right rear pressure sensor 102b may be composed of a plurality of sensing units.
[0029] For example, when the user is turning while riding the vehicle, the left front pressure sensor can sense the left front pressure (push) applied by the user to the left handlebar, and the left rear pressure sensor can sense the left rear pressure (pull) applied by the user to the left handlebar. Similarly, the right front pressure sensor 102a can sense the right front pressure (push) applied by the user to the right handlebar, and the right rear pressure sensor 102b can sense the right rear pressure (pull) applied by the user to the right handlebar.
[0030] In some embodiments, the steering information sensing device 1 may further include a positioning device and a processor. The positioning device is electrically connected to the processor, and the positioning device may be disposed on the vehicle (e.g., but not limited to, under the dashboard or under the seat). In some embodiments, the positioning device may be a Global Positioning System (GPS) to track and obtain the vehicle's location information. The processor may be a programmable special integrated circuit with computation, storage, output / input capabilities, and the ability to accept and process various coded instructions to perform various logical and arithmetic operations and output corresponding results. The processor may be programmed to interpret various instructions and execute various tasks or programs to complete the various actions described in this disclosure. For example, the processor may include a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a Microprocessor, and / or a Microcontroller, etc.
[0031] As the user rides the vehicle, the positioning device acquires multiple location information points of the vehicle as it moves. Based on this, the processor can generate a riding route based on this location information. As mentioned earlier, in this document, the riding route can be a driving school road or a racetrack road. For example, when the user rides the vehicle at a driving school, the positioning device can acquire the vehicle's location information at each position on the driving school road, and the riding route information can be generated based on these locations.
[0032] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the tilt angle of the vehicle according to certain embodiments of the present invention. The content shown in Figure 5 is only for illustrating embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0033] In some embodiments, the steering information sensing device 1 may further include a tilt sensor electrically connected to the processor, and the tilt sensor may be disposed on the vehicle (e.g., but not limited to, under the dashboard or under the seat). As shown in Figure 5, when the vehicle turns, in order to balance the centrifugal force and gravity of the vehicle to smoothly navigate the turn, a tilt angle θ is formed between the centerline L of the vehicle and the normal N of the ground. Therefore, when the user rides the vehicle and turns, the tilt angle information (i.e., θ) of the vehicle can be sensed through the tilt sensor.
[0034] In some embodiments, the memory 12 may store the riding path information and the tilt angle information, which can be used later to analyze and evaluate whether the user's handling of the curves is appropriate.
[0035] In some embodiments, the processor of the steering information sensing device 1 can establish a riding action model based on the first left pressure value P1, the first right pressure value P2, the riding path information, and the lean angle information. For example, the aforementioned user can be a driving instructor. That is, the aforementioned riding action can be performed by the instructor. In this case, the steering information sensing device 1 can establish the riding action model by sensing and storing information such as the first left pressure value P1, the first right pressure value P2, the riding path information, and the lean angle information. In addition, in some embodiments, the riding action model can be pre-established, and multiple riding action models can be established using a large amount of information such as the first left pressure value P1, the first right pressure value P2, the riding path information, and the lean angle information. That is, different position information can correspond to different first left pressure values P1, first right pressure values P2, and lean angle information.
[0036] In some embodiments, after establishing the riding action model, the steering information sensing device 1 can further sense the pressure values applied by the user or another user to the left handlebar, the pressure values to the right handlebar, a measured position information, and a measured tilt angle information when the user or another user is turning on the vehicle. This information can then be used to analyze and evaluate whether the user's or another user's handling of the curve is appropriate. In this case, the user can be a student in a driving school. For example, when a student in a driving school is turning on the vehicle, the pressure sensing module 10 can sense a second left pressure value applied by the user to the left handlebar and a second right pressure value applied to the right handlebar based on the left pressure sensor 101 on the left handlebar and the right pressure sensor 102 on the right handlebar. The positioning device is also used to obtain a measured position information of the vehicle. In addition, the tilt angle sensor is also used to sense a measured tilt angle information of the vehicle.
[0037] Accordingly, the processor of the steering information sensing device 1 can determine the second left pressure value, the second right pressure value, the position information to be measured, and the lean angle information to be measured based on the aforementioned riding action model, in order to determine a riding action analysis result for the user. In some embodiments, the riding action analysis result may be consistent with or inconsistent with appropriate riding actions, or it may be similar to or dissimilar to the instructor's riding actions. In other words, the riding action analysis result can be used to indicate whether the user is performing appropriate riding actions.
[0038] In some embodiments, the steering information sensing device 1 may further include a transmission interface electrically connected to the pressure sensing module 10, and the transmission interface may be configured on the vehicle (e.g., but not limited to, below the dashboard or under the seat). The transmission interface can be used to output a first left pressure value P1 and a first right pressure value P2. In some embodiments, the transmission interface may support wired or wireless transmission (e.g., but not limited to, Bluetooth or proprietary wireless protocols). Specifically, the first left pressure value P1 and the first right pressure value P2 can be output through the transmission interface to a data management system (not shown) corresponding to the steering information sensing device 1 for subsequent analysis and evaluation of the user's handling of curves. In some embodiments, the first left pressure value P1, the first right pressure value P2, riding path information, and the lean angle information can be output through the transmission interface to the data management system corresponding to the steering information sensing device 1. In some other embodiments, the second left pressure value, the second right pressure value, the position information to be measured, and the tilt angle information to be measured can be output to the data management system corresponding to the steering information sensing device 1 through the transmission interface.
[0039] Some embodiments of the present invention relate to a steering information sensing method 6. Figure 6 illustrates a flowchart of a steering information sensing method 6 according to some embodiments of the present invention.

The computer program product can be a file that can be transmitted over a network, or it can be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium.
