Abstract

A capacitive track pad transmission shift knob simplifies selection of functions in an automobile. The capacitive track pad is built-in to the gear shift knob of the autmobile in an easy, approachable, ergonomic and intuitive location for navigation and selection through the user-interface display of the automobile.

Description

TITLE: Capacitive Track Pad Transmission Shift Knob
BACKGROUND
There are many different devices manufactured by automakers today that are used to control and navigate through selection menus for multiple functionalities such as Audio, Video, GPS (Navigation), Climate Control, settings, etc. One of these devices that pioneered such control systems in auto industry was iDrive by BMW. They showed how you can use a single device to control multiple functionalities in an Automobile. Other manufacturers like Acura used touch screen (either resistive or capacitive) in addition to a 5-way navigation switch, so with a simple touch on screen's surface one can make his/her selection. Some find one easier than the other.
"Capacitive Track Pad Transmission Shift Knob" is a new innovative idea to not only do similar activity, but actually allowing the driver to make his/her selection with a device at a location where it's easiest, intuitive and most ergonomic to use. That location is right on the knob of the gear/transmission shifter, no matter if the car has a manual stick shifter or an automatic one. The driver no longer needs to take his/her hands off the shifter knob, whereas in an iDrive or a touch screen one has to constantly move their hands onto these devices to navigate through the menu to make his/her selection. Not only this this new idea is natural and intuitive, but also ideal since most drivers, especially the ones driving a manual transmission, would have their hand on the stick shifter knob most of the time.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
• This invention uses a capacitive touchpad with a built in select button to navigate and select through menu(s) on a display panel in an automobile or any other vehicle for that matter
• The assembled module is built in the knob of the gear shifter of the automobile where it's the easiest and most intuitive location for an end user to access and use.
• By placing this device on the knob of the gear shifter, it allows the driver to use his
thumb, which is the most intuitive and ergonomic way by hand, to navigate and select from the touch pad. Typical touchpads required the user to use their middle or index finger which is not very intuitive to use, hence making it harder to navigate. DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND BEST MODE OF IMPLEMENTATION
This invention can use several technologies for its intuitive design and functionality. As shown on "Balloon 1", the driver can have his/her hand in a natural and ergonomic position that a shifter would be held as shown. If the shifter is for a manual transmission, then the shifter would need to have an activation button as shown on "Balloon 2". If the shifter is for an automatic transmission, then in addition to the gear shift button shown in "Balloon 3", the shifter knob would also require an additional button as shown by "Balloon 2" for device activation. Even though the location of shifter button in the illustration "figure Γ, is show on the side, it may well be in any other location per manufacturer's preference. To make a menu selection on the screen "Balloon 4" using the capacitive touch screen on top of the shifter knob "Balloon 5", one would simply press and hold the activation button "Balloon 2", using their index* finger and then use their thumb to pan to navigate the cursor on the menu screen and then press their thumb to make their final selection. The Navigation pad acts simply like any ordinary touch pad used on today's laptops, except using a thumb is so much more accurate for panning/navigating and also more intuitive than using any other finger (middle or index) typically used to scroll over a touchpad on laptops. Of course the sensitivity of the Navigation pad like any other laptop touch pad can be customized in the settings to accommodate the end user feel and desire. One major advantage of this invention compared to other methods in the market is that the driver never have to take his/her hand off the shifter knob and reach out for other control panels knob like iDrive which increases the chance and risk for accidents. Of course this device will never have false activation while changing the gears or shift for automatic selection since it only works if you have the activation button "Balloon 2" depressed and held before any selection. If any circumstance comes about, one would simply let go of the activation button and your shifter knob acts only as a gear shift knob like any ordinary car. Your activation button is simply your safety button to avoid false activation since you need to press and hold to use this device at all times and that comes very natural based on your hand and wrist ergonomics. Another major benefit of this invention is it works like a mouse and not as a scroll button like in iDrive where you can only move on the monitor up or down the list. This invention gives you the flexibility of a true touch pad where your cursor can move and activate anywhere on the screen, meaning it allows for more creative LCD UE (User Experience) graphics and much faster menu selection and far less steps to make your selections since you would have far less menus to go through to find your selection.
Moving your thumb and scrolling through the screen on the monitor is simple, easy and very intuitive. Just as in a touch pad, when the cursor is on an area of interest, the driver simply would press very lightly ANYWHERE on the navigation pad and make his or her selection. This is much faster and intuitive than how an iDrive works. The iDrive over the years have changed so many button configurations and even added more and more throughout the years as customers complained about difficulties and steps of getting to a menu. They have simply increased the cost of such devices to address end user preference, yet still made the device more difficult to use by adding too many buttons. With this invention, it's as simple as using a mouse on a computer, but here on the shifter knob where you don't need to take your hand off to make your selection from any other location, it's all in the same place as drivers would normally rest their hands all the time while driving, especially with cars that have manual transmission which is very common in many parts of the world.
The technique for a robust and intuitive design for the navigation pad and its function selection can use several technologies such as,
1. Typical capacitive touch pad with a tactile touch press as used in laptop touch pads
2. A "Metal-Over-Cap" technology where the selection is made by pressing the navigation pad lightly to make a capacitive coupling between 2 metal plates to activate the choice selected.
3. The use of "Hall Effect" technology can also be used for navigation pad in conjunction with a device under the pad that can be used as a tactile device for menu selection.
All of these technologies are ideal for this application.
When the car is turned on, your display panel would by default show you the Main Menu as shown in, "Balloon 4". From there you can easily navigate to which menu you like to go to have control and make selections. As illustrated in Balloon 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10, these are several choices of control functionalities in an automobile that can be used by this invention to put to use. Of course the types of control can be used are limitless, but few common ones are used in this illustration, "Figure for the purpose of describing this invention to describe how the shifter knob touch pad works in conjunction with the display panel.
The way the shifter nob can talk to the display screen and work to activate any functionality, would be in 3 ways that this invention can be marketed,
1. Automakers can manufacture this invention as a stock factory feature set in production of automobiles. If so, then knob needs to be wired up for power for possible LED to light up the navigation pad and other wires to connect the navigation pad and its activation button to the control unit of the display panel or other controlling units in the car.
Although the LED power up of the navigation pad needs to be hard wired for power, the activation button and all other activities of the navigation pad can work via an installed battery and blue tooth (or some other low power wireless technology) to directly talk to the control panel of the display module, similar to a wireless mouse.
2. As an aftermarket kit to fit into any existing automobile that does not have an iDrive, Touch panel screen, or such. An aftermarket kit would most likely be installed by a professional installer such as existing Audio/Video distributors and installer like Best Buy, etc. The kit can either be wired or use the blue tooth (or other low power wireless technology) to install to the display panel. A typical kit would include, a display panel, a standard or even a customizable shifter knob to replace the existing one in the car, an already loaded software package and wire hardness to connect the entire assembly together.
3. As an aftermarket kit similar to option 2 described above, but instead of a separate
supplied display panel with loaded software, supplied shifter touch screen knob would talk directly to any iPhone/iPad or Android device for limited functionality such as Audio, Video, Navigation GPS, etc. The functionality of menu selection in this case would be limited to capability of the apps supplied on these devices and limited to the functionality of the features in the automobile itself, such as climate control and other features in the car which will not be directly wired to for on screen selection.
*lndex finger used if the transmission selection button for an automatic shifter is designed to use the middle finger, otherwise the visa versa can be used. Both options can be designed based on manufacturer's preference.
