La présente invention revendique la priorité de la demande française 2102327 déposée le 10.03.2021 dont le contenu (texte, dessins et revendications) est ici incorporé par référence Domaine technique de l’invention The present invention claims the priority of French application 2102327 filed on March 10, 2021, the content of which (text, drawings and claims) is incorporated herein by reference Technical field of the invention
La présente invention concerne le domaine des systèmes informatiques et électroniques qui sont embarqués à bord des véhicules automobiles afin de permettre la fourniture de fonctionnalités de sécurisation de la conduite et des véhicules. L’invention porte en particulier sur un procédé de gestion, par un système informatique embarqué à bord d’un véhicule automobile, du fonctionnement d’une interface homme-machine d’un appareillage de gestion du fonctionnement d’un vitrage adaptatif du véhicule. L’invention concerne également un système informatique mettant en œuvre un tel procédé. L’invention s’applique, notamment, aux voitures.

The invention relates in particular to a method for managing, by a computer system on board a motor vehicle, the operation of a man-machine interface of a device for managing the operation of adaptive glazing of the vehicle.

État de la technique antérieure State of the prior art
On sait que certains véhicules automobiles actuels sont équipés d’appareillage d’aide à la conduite et d’appareillages de navigation. On sait aussi qu’il est possible désormais de trouver des vitrages dits adaptatifs ou dynamiques, i.e. des vitrages pour lesquels des moyens permettent de changer l’opacité, la teinte et/ou la réflectance du vitrage, que ce soit de manière automatique ou contrôlée. On sait enfin, notamment de la demande de brevet internationale WO/2018/162506, que certains véhicules peuvent être équipés de vitrages adaptatifs. It is known that some current motor vehicles are equipped with driving aid equipment and navigation equipment. We also know that it is now possible to find so-called adaptive or dynamic glazing, ie glazing for which means allow the opacity, the tint and/or the glazing reflectance, either automatically or controlled. Finally, we know, in particular from international patent application WO/2018/162506, that certain vehicles can be equipped with adaptive glazing.
Cependant, il semble qu’il n’existe à ce jour aucun système connu qui permet à un utilisateur d’un véhicule de pouvoir contrôler aisément le fonctionnement d’un vitrage adaptatif du véhicule. Or, cela est regrettable car il existe des situations que tout conducteur connaît dans lesquelles les vitrages adaptatifs pourraient apporter des avantages, notamment en matière de protection contre le vol d’effets personnels et/ou de vandalisme, par exemple avec des vitrages qui deviennent opaques pour protéger de la vue depuis l’extérieur du véhicule, mais aussi en matière de sécurité de la conduite, par exemple avec un pare-brise teinté pour conduire dans le brouillard ou sous la neige. However, it seems that to date there is no known system which allows a user of a vehicle to be able to easily control the operation of an adaptive glazing of the vehicle. However, this is regrettable because there are situations that every driver knows in which adaptive glazing could bring advantages, in particular in terms of protection against theft of personal effects and / or vandalism, for example with glazing that becomes opaque to protect from view from outside the vehicle, but also in terms of driving safety, for example with a tinted windscreen for driving in fog or snow.
Par conséquent, en n’offrant aucune flexibilité pour permettre à un conducteur de gérer facilement le fonctionnement d’un vitrage adaptatif d’un véhicule automobile, notamment pour permettre à un conducteur/propriétaire d’un véhicule de pouvoir spécifier par lui-même des modes de fonctionnement particuliers pour les vitrages adaptatifs de son véhicule, les systèmes pour gérer le fonctionnement de vitrages adaptatifs de véhicules automobiles connus à ce jour souffrent encore indéniablement de lacunes en matière d’interaction homme-machine. Consequently, by not offering any flexibility to allow a driver to easily manage the operation of adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, in particular to allow a driver/owner of a vehicle to be able to specify by himself particular modes of operation for the adaptive glazing of one's vehicle, the systems for managing the operation of adaptive glazing of motor vehicles known to date still undeniably suffer from shortcomings in terms of man-machine interaction.
Résumé de l’invention L’invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients. L’invention a en effet pour but de fournir un procédé et un système qui contribuent pour permettre la fourniture d’une interface homme-machine d’un appareillage de gestion du fonctionnement d’un vitrage adaptatif d’un véhicule automobile qui soit ergonomique, i.e. qui facilite l’interaction homme-machine. L’invention vise notamment à fournir un procédé et un système qui contribuent pour permettre de fournir une interface homme-machine d’un appareillage de gestion du fonctionnement d’un vitrage adaptatif d’un véhicule automobile qui permet la définition de modes de fonctionnement des vitrages adaptatifs qui s’appliquent en fonction de l’environnement dans lequel se trouve un véhicule et/ou de l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule. Par ce biais, l’invention a pour dessein d’améliorer aussi bien la protection des véhicules contre le vol et le vandalisme que la sécurité de la conduite. Summary of the invention The invention aims to overcome these drawbacks. The object of the invention is in fact to provide a method and a system which contribute to enabling the provision of a man-machine interface of an apparatus for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle which is ergonomic, ie which facilitates human-machine interaction. The invention aims in particular to provide a method and a system which contribute to making it possible to provide a man-machine interface of an apparatus for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle which allows the definition of operating modes of the adaptive glazing which is applied according to the environment in which a vehicle is located and/or the use made of the vehicle.

Ainsi, en interagissant avec ou en faisant partie intégrante d’une interface homme-machine d’un tel appareillage de gestion du fonctionnement d’un vitrage adaptatif d’un véhicule automobile, le système 100 selon l’invention est notamment en mesure de gérer le fonctionnement d’un vitrage adaptatif d’un véhicule automobile, d’acquérir des données caractérisant au moins un mode de fonctionnement d’un vitrage adaptatif d’un véhicule automobile et d’acquérir des données caractérisant l’environnement dans lequel se trouve un véhicule à un instant courant et/ou l’utilisation qui est faite d’un véhicule à un instant courant. Selon l’invention, tous les éléments décrits ci-dessus contribuent pour permettre au système 100 selon l’invention de mettre en œuvre un procédé de gestion du fonctionnement d’une interface homme-machine d’un appareillage de gestion du fonctionnement d’un vitrage adaptatif d’un véhicule automobile, tel que décrit ci- dessous en lien avec la figure 2. Thus, by interacting with or being an integral part of a man-machine interface of such a device for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, the system 100 according to the invention is in particular able to manage the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, to acquire data characterizing at least one operating mode adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle and to acquire data characterizing the environment in which a vehicle is located at a current instant and/or the use made of a vehicle at a current instant. According to the invention, all the elements described above contribute to enabling the system 100 according to the invention to implement a method for managing the operation of a man-machine interface of an apparatus for managing the operation of a adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, as described below in connection with figure 2.
Selon une première étape 201 du procédé selon l’invention, le système 100 selon l’invention acquiert des données caractérisant au moins un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif. Pour ce faire, le système 100 selon l’invention interagit préférentiellement avec son support de stockage de données 102 sur lequel les données caractérisant un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif sont enregistrées. En effet, l’interface homme-machine de l’appareillage de gestion du fonctionnement d’un vitrage adaptatif du véhicule comprend au moins un dispositif de saisie, qui, par exemple, comporte un écran tactile agencé sur le combiné d’instruments du véhicule, et qui, selon l’invention, permet à un conducteur de définir une pluralité de modes de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particuliers, i.e. d’identifier des modes de fonctionnements particuliers en fonction d’un environnement dans lequel se trouve le véhicule et/ou de l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule. Ainsi, au moyen du dispositif de saisie, un conducteur peut, par exemple, réaliser une saisie consistant à stipuler un premier mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier, par exemple identifié par le terme « intimité », selon lequel il est établi que le vitrage adaptatif doit être opacifié lorsque le véhicule est à l’arrêt, verrouillé et que le dispositif antivol est enclenché. De même, un conducteur peut utiliser le dispositif de saisie pour réaliser une saisie consistant à stipuler un deuxième mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier, par exemple identifié par le terme « hautes-températures », selon lequel il est établi que la réflectance du vitrage adaptatif doit être modifiée lorsque le véhicule est à l’arrêt et que la température extérieure dépasse une valeur seuil préétablie (i.e. effet miroir). De manière similaire, un conducteur peut utiliser le dispositif de saisie pour réaliser une saisie consistant à stipuler un troisième mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier, par exemple identifié par le terme « brouillard », selon lequel il est établi que la teinte du vitrage adaptatif doit être modifiée lorsque l’humidité de l’air extérieur dépasse une valeur seuil préétablie alors que sa température est inférieure à une valeur seuil préétablie (i.e. pare- brise teinté de jaune pour conduire dans le brouillard). Ainsi, c’est en réponse à une saisie réalisée au moyen du dispositif de saisie de l’interface homme-machine que sont générées les données caractérisant au moins un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif qui sont acquises par le système 100 selon l’invention au cours de cette première étape 201 du procédé selon l’invention. According to a first step 201 of the method according to the invention, the system 100 according to the invention acquires data characterizing at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing. To do this, the system 100 according to the invention preferentially interacts with its data storage medium 102 on which the data characterizing an operating mode of the adaptive glazing are recorded. Indeed, the man-machine interface of the equipment for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of the vehicle comprises at least one input device, which, for example, comprises a touch screen arranged on the instrument cluster of the vehicle , and which, according to the invention, allows a driver to define a plurality of operating modes of the glazing specific adaptive, ie to identify specific operating modes according to an environment in which the vehicle is located and/or the use made of the vehicle. Thus, by means of the input device, a driver can, for example, make an input consisting in stipulating a first mode of operation of the particular adaptive glazing, for example identified by the term "privacy", according to which it is established that the glazing adaptive must be clouded when the vehicle is stationary, locked and the anti-theft device is engaged. Similarly, a driver can use the input device to make an input consisting in stipulating a second mode of operation of the particular adaptive glazing, for example identified by the term "high-temperature", according to which it is established that the reflectance of the glazing adaptive must be modified when the vehicle is stationary and the outside temperature exceeds a pre-established threshold value (ie mirror effect). Similarly, a driver can use the input device to make an input consisting in stipulating a third mode of operation of the particular adaptive glazing, for example identified by the term "fog", according to which it is established that the tint of the adaptive glazing must be modified when the humidity of the outside air exceeds a pre-established threshold value while its temperature is below a pre-established threshold value (ie windscreen tinted yellow for driving in fog). Thus, it is in response to an input made by means of the input device of the man-machine interface that the data characterizing at least one mode of operation of the glazing is generated. adaptive which are acquired by the system 100 according to the invention during this first step 201 of the method according to the invention.
Alternativement, ou cumulativement, les données caractérisant au moins un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif sont générées en réponse à une saisie réalisée au moyen d’un site web et acquises au moyen d’un module de communication par signaux radiofréquences du véhicule. En effet, selon l’invention, un site web est mis à disposition des conducteurs pour, au même titre que le dispositif de saisie de l’interface homme-machine, leur permettre de définir une pluralité de modes de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particuliers. Et, comme pour le dispositif de saisie de l’interface homme-machine, c’est lorsqu’un conducteur réalise une saisie au moyen du site web que les données caractérisant au moins un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif sont générées et qu’elles sont acquises par le système 100 au moyen d’un module de communication par signaux radiofréquences du véhicule. Selon une autre alternative, les données caractérisant au moins un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif peuvent être au moins partiellement acquises uniquement au moyen d’un module de communication par signaux radiofréquences du véhicule. C’est par exemple le cas lorsque ces données sont générées au sein d’un système de transport intelligent et/ou, dans le contexte de flottes de véhicules partagés, lorsqu’elles sont établies de manière globale pour une pluralité de véhicules et transmises au module de communication par signaux radiofréquences du véhicule par le biais de réseaux de communication sans fil privés ou publiques. Ensuite, au cours d’une deuxième étape 202 du procédé selon l’invention, le système 100 selon l’invention acquiert des données caractérisant l’environnement dans lequel se trouve le véhicule à l’instant courant et/ou l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule à l’instant courant. Pour ce faire, en ce qui concerne l’environnement dans lequel se trouve le véhicule à l’instant courant, le système 100 selon l’invention acquiert des données caractérisant l’environnement dans lequel se trouve le véhicule à l’instant courant en interagissant, par exemple, avec l’appareillage d’aide à la conduite du véhicule pour acquérir des données caractérisant la vitesse instantanée de déplacement du véhicule à l’instant courant, avec un appareillage de gestion du fonctionnement d’un dispositif d’éclairage et/ou de signalisation lumineuse, pour acquérir des données caractérisant la luminosité ambiante à l’instant courant, avec un capteur hygrométrique du véhicule, pour acquérir des données caractérisant l’humidité ambiante à l’instant courant, etc. De même, pour ce qui est de l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule à l’instant courant, le système 100 selon l’invention acquiert des données caractérisant l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule à l’instant courant en interagissant, par exemple, avec un équipement de verrouillage et/ou antivol, pour acquérir des données caractérisant une condition de verrouillage du véhicule à l’instant courant, avec un appareillage de chauffage et/ou de climatisation, pour acquérir des données caractérisant la puissance consommée par l’appareillage de chauffage et/ou de climatisation à l’instant courant, avec un système de navigation du véhicule, pour acquérir des données caractérisant le localisation courante du véhicule, etc. Ensuite, selon une troisième étape 203 du procédé selon l’invention, le système 100 selon l’invention détermine si au moins un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier s’applique à l’environnement dans lequel se trouve le véhicule à l’instant courant et/ou à l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule à l’instant courant. En d’autres termes, le système 100 selon l’invention utilise à ce stade les données caractérisant au moins un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif acquises lors de la première étape 201, qui identifient au moins un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier, et les données caractérisant l’environnement dans lequel se trouve le véhicule à l’instant courant et/ou l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule à l’instant courant acquises au cours de la deuxième étape 202 pour déterminer si un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier correspond à l’environnement dans lequel se trouve à l’instant courant et/ou à l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule à l’instant courant. Ensuite, selon une quatrième étape 204a du procédé selon l’invention, qu’il réalise lorsqu’il a établi au cours de l’étape précédente 203 qu’un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier s’applique, i.e. correspond, à l’environnement dans lequel se trouve le véhicule à l’instant courant et/ou à l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule à l’instant courant, le système 100 selon l’invention gère le fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif en fonction du mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier. Par exemple, lorsque l’environnement dans lequel se trouve le véhicule à l’instant courant correspond à des conditions dans lesquelles la température de l’air extérieur est basse et son hygrométrie élevée, le système 100 a déterminé au cours de l’étape 203 qu’il existe un mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier dit « brouillard » qui correspond à cet environnement et, en conséquence, au cours de la quatrième étape 204a du procédé, il gère le fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif, par exemple le pare- brise du véhicule, de sorte que celui-ci se teinte de jaune. De manière similaire, lorsque le véhicule est à l’arrêt et que la température extérieure dépasse une valeur seuil préétablie, le système 100 a déterminé au cours de l’étape 203 qu’il existe un autre mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier dit « hautes-températures » qui correspond à cet environnement et, en conséquence, au cours de la quatrième étape 204a du procédé, il gère le fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif de sorte que sa réflectance change. De même, lorsque le véhicule est à l’arrêt, verrouillé et que le dispositif antivol est enclenché, le système 100 a déterminé au cours de l’étape 203 qu’il existe un autre mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier dit « intimité » qui correspond à cette utilisation qui est faite du véhicule et, en conséquence, au cours de la quatrième étape 204a du procédé, il gère le fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif de sorte qu’il devient plus opaque. Au contraire, selon une quatrième étape 204b du procédé selon l’invention, que le système 100 selon l’invention réalise lorsqu’il a établi au cours de la troisième étape 203 qu’aucun mode de fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif particulier s’applique à l’environnement dans lequel se trouve le véhicule à l’instant courant et/ou à l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule à l’instant courant, le système gère le fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif en fonction de l’environnement dans lequel se trouve le véhicule à l’instant courant et/ou de l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule à l’instant courant. Par exemple, lorsqu’il établit sur la base des données caractérisant l’environnement dans lequel se trouve le véhicule à l’instant courant que la luminosité ambiante est forte, le système 100 selon l’invention gère le fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif de sorte que celui-ci devient plus opaque. Selon un autre exemple, si le système 100 selon l’invention détermine sur la base des données caractérisant l’utilisation qui est faite du véhicule à l’instant courant implique le tractage d’une caravane, il gère le fonctionnement du vitrage adaptatif, par exemple la lunette arrière du véhicule, de sorte que celui-ci devient plus ou moins opaque. Alternatively, or cumulatively, the data characterizing at least one mode of operation of the adaptive glazing are generated in response to an entry made by means of a website and acquired by means of a communication module by radiofrequency signals of the vehicle. Indeed, according to the invention, a website is made available to drivers in order, in the same way as the input device of the man-machine interface, to allow them to define a plurality of operating modes of the particular adaptive glazing. And, as for the input device of the man-machine interface, it is when a driver makes an input by means of the website that the data characterizing at least one mode of operation of the adaptive glazing are generated and that they are acquired by the system 100 by means of a communication module by radiofrequency signals of the vehicle. According to another alternative, the data characterizing at least one mode of operation of the adaptive glazing can be at least partially acquired solely by means of a communication module by radiofrequency signals of the vehicle. This is the case, for example, when this data is generated within an intelligent transport system and/or, in the context of shared vehicle fleets, when it is established globally for a plurality of vehicles and transmitted to the communication module by radio frequency signals of the vehicle through private or public wireless communication networks. Then, during a second step 202 of the method according to the invention, the system 100 according to the invention acquires data characterizing the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time and/or the use which is made of the vehicle at the current time. To do this, with regard to the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time, the system 100 according to the invention acquires data characterizing the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time by interacting , for example, with the vehicle driving assistance device to acquire data characterizing the instantaneous speed of movement of the vehicle at the current time, with a device for managing the operation of a lighting device and/ or light signaling, to acquire data characterizing the ambient luminosity at the current instant, with a hygrometric sensor of the vehicle, to acquire data characterizing the ambient humidity at the current instant, etc. Similarly, with regard to the use made of the vehicle at the current instant, the system 100 according to the invention acquires data characterizing the use made of the vehicle at the current instant by interacting, for example, with locking and/or anti-theft equipment, to acquire data characterizing a locking condition of the vehicle at the current instant, with heating and/or air conditioning equipment, to acquire data characterizing the power consumed by the heating and/or air conditioning equipment at the current time, with a vehicle navigation system, to acquire data characterizing the current location of the vehicle, etc. Then, according to a third step 203 of the method according to the invention, the system 100 according to the invention determines whether at least one mode of operation of the particular adaptive glazing applies to the environment in which the vehicle is located at the instant current and/or the use made of the vehicle at the current time. In other words, the system 100 according to the invention uses at this stage the data characterizing at least one mode of operation of the adaptive glazing acquired during the first step 201, which identifies at least one mode of operation of the particular adaptive glazing, and the data characterizing the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time and/or the use made of the vehicle at the current time acquired during the second step 202 to determine whether an operating mode of the particular adaptive glazing corresponds to the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time and/or to the use made of the vehicle at the current time. Then, according to a fourth step 204a of the method according to the invention, which he carries out when he has established during the previous step 203 that a mode of operation of the particular adaptive glazing applies, ie corresponds, to the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time and/or the use made of the vehicle at the current time, the system 100 according to the invention manages the operation of the adaptive glazing according to the mode of operation special adaptive glazing. For example, when the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time corresponds to conditions in which the temperature of the outside air is low and its humidity high, the system 100 has determined during step 203 that there is an operating mode of the particular adaptive glazing called “fog” which corresponds to this environment and, consequently, during the fourth step 204a of the method, it manages the operation of the adaptive glazing, for example the windshield of the vehicle, so that the latter turns yellow . Similarly, when the vehicle is stationary and the outside temperature exceeds a pre-established threshold value, the system 100 has determined during step 203 that there is another mode of operation of the particular adaptive glazing called " high-temperatures” which corresponds to this environment and, consequently, during the fourth step 204a of the method, it manages the operation of the adaptive glazing so that its reflectance changes. Similarly, when the vehicle is stationary, locked and the anti-theft device is activated, the system 100 has determined during step 203 that there is another mode of operation of the particular adaptive glazing called "privacy". which corresponds to this use which is made of the vehicle and, consequently, during the fourth step 204a of the method, it manages the operation of the adaptive glazing so that it becomes more opaque. On the contrary, according to a fourth step 204b of the method according to the invention, which the system 100 according to the invention carries out when it has established during the third step 203 that no mode of operation of the particular adaptive glazing applies to the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time and/or the use made of the vehicle at the current time, the system manages the operation of the adaptive glazing according to the environment in which it is located the vehicle at the current time and/or the use made of the vehicle at the current time. For example, when it establishes on the basis of data characterizing the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current instant that the ambient luminosity is strong, the system 100 according to the invention manages the operation of the adaptive glazing so that it becomes more opaque. According to another example, if the system 100 according to the invention determines on the basis of the data characterizing the use which is made of the vehicle at the current instant involves the towing of a caravan, it manages the operation of the adaptive glazing, by example the rear window of the vehicle, so that it becomes more or less opaque.
Ainsi, grâce au procédé et au système selon l’invention décrits ci- dessus, une solution existe pour fournir une interface homme- machine d’un appareillage de gestion du fonctionnement d’un vitrage adaptatif d’un véhicule automobile qui soit ergonomique, i.e. qui facilite l’interaction homme-machine.

Par ce biais, le procédé et le système selon l’invention décrits ci-dessus améliorent aussi bien la protection des véhicules contre le vol et le vandalisme que la sécurité de la conduite.
