Detailed description of the invention
For making the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the most detailed to the present invention by the following examples Explanation.
The present invention provides a kind of and activates the control device of display screen corresponding region in car according to driver's watching area, described Control device and include an eye tracker, an analysis system, display screen in a control system and a car.
Described eye tracker moves information data for the eye catching driver, and these data send to described analysis system. The eye tracker of the present invention can be conventional eyeball tracking instrument, may be installed the instrumental panel 1 on steering wheel as shown in Figure 2 On the frame of surrounding and on the frame of middle control screen 2 surroundings.The eye tracker of the present invention can also is that carrying eye moves seizure equipment Intelligent glasses, as TOBII intelligent glasses (New Tobbi Glasses2, as shown in Figure 3) or ERGONEERS Dikablis Glasses, but carry eye move its data precision of intelligent glasses of seizure equipment should be able to be higher.
Regulate to do some additionally, be required for different user, but this is mainly software aspects, as shown in Figure 4, For participant is corrected the schematic diagram of (calibrate) process by common eye movement test.Theoretically, each user When using the eye tracker on car for the first time, it is only necessary to being a calibrate the most permissible, eye tracker can be continuous afterwards The eye of ground study and this user of self adaptation moves feature.Certainly along with the development of technology, band angle extraction eye movement can be more The most ripe, the small human head swing that the change of driver's sitting posture causes is acceptable.
The principle of eye tracker is to go to extract the oculopupillary centre coordinate of people, focal length, fixation time, watch attentively time by photographic head Sequence etc., the data volume dynamic due to eye is the least, so being not suitable for being transmitted by CAN, here we use WiFi and Bluetooth carrys out real-time transmission data.
The analysis system of the present invention can be provided by the supplier providing eye tracker, as used New Tobbi Glasses2 to make For eye tracker, then eye movement data is provided to analyze system by TOBBI.Because different types of eye tracker uses different data Model and software system are analyzed eye and are moved information data, so that it is determined which functional module driver is look at.Also do not have at present There is a kind of public software platform can accurately analyze the great majority eye that even all eye tracker collects and move information data.Point After the analysis system above-mentioned eye of reception moves information data, analyze driver and be look at instrumental panel 1 or middle control screen 2, and should Analysis result sends described control system to.
In described control system can be integrated in onboard system or it is connected with onboard system, is receiving above-mentioned analysis result In controlling described car, the module of display screen sends instruction, to activate this watching area afterwards.
Below as a example by Fig. 5, the specific description present invention activates display screen correspondence district in car according to driver's watching area The control device in territory and control method.
Fig. 5 is the process signal activating display screen and sub-function module thereof in car according to driver's watching area of the present invention Figure.Such as, when driver watches the region A of instrumental panel IC attentively, the eye tracker collection being arranged in IC circumferential side frame is driven The eye of the person of sailing moves information data, as pupil centre coordinate, focal length, fixation time, watch order etc. attentively, eye tracker is by this A little eyes move information data and send analysis system to by bluetooth or wireless telecommunications (wifi), analyze systematic analysis and are just going out driver Being look at region A, and this result sends to the control system being integrated in onboard system, control system is to control instrument The functional module of dish IC inner region A sends instruction, and to activate watching area A, driver has only to carry out touch-control with hands afterwards Or sub-function module A in sliding area A1, A2... An.And when driver watches the region B of middle control screen attentively, peace The eye of the eye tracker collection driver being contained in HU circumferential side frame moves information data, and these eyes are moved information data passes through Bluetooth or wifi send analysis system to, analyze systematic analysis and go out driver just in watching area B, and by this result transmission Giving the control system being integrated in onboard system, control system functional module of control screen HU inner region B in controlling sends Instruction, to activate watching area B, driver has only to carry out the sub-function module in touch-control or sliding area B with hands afterwards B1, B2... Bn.
In car shown in Fig. 5, display screen is the instrumental panel on steering wheel or middle control screen, display screen in the car of indication of the present invention Can also is that other display screens in car, the display screen etc. of such as onboard system.
If in short, driver wants to change the selection of some functional area in car, first having to first have a look at this district Territory, when the control device of the present invention detects that the eyes of driver are just being look at certain module region, this region is just by certainly Dynamic activation is without driver's manual operation again, thus alleviates the distractibility degree of driver, improves driving Safety.
The present invention also provides for a kind of vehicle, and this vehicle includes above-mentioned activating display screen in car according to driver's watching area The control device of corresponding region.
The present invention also provides for a kind of activating the control method of display screen corresponding region, institute in car according to driver's watching area State control method to include:
One eye tracker moving information data for catching the eye of driver is provided;
One analysis system is provided, the described eye collected is moved information data and sends described analysis system to analyze driving Member watches which region of display screen in described car attentively;Wherein by radio communication or bluetooth, described eye is moved Information Number factually Time be transferred to described analysis system.
There is provided a control system to receive above-mentioned analysis result, and send instruction to controlling the module of display screen in described car, To activate this watching area.
Described method includes further, after activating this watching area, and manual touch-control or the submodule of this watching area of sliding Region.
The present invention relates to field of automobile control, activate display screen pair in car particularly to one according to driver's watching area Answer control device and the control method in region.Described control device includes an eye tracker, an analysis system, a control system With display screen in a car, wherein said eye tracker is used for catching the eye of driver and moves information data, and by these data transmission To described analysis system;Described analysis system receives after above-mentioned data, analyzes driver and watches display screen in described car attentively Which region, and communicate this information to described control system;Described control system is the mould of display screen in controlling described car Block sends instruction, to activate this watching area.The present invention also provides for a kind of vehicle including above-mentioned control device.Use this The control device of invention and control method, can improve the safety of driving.
The foregoing is only presently preferred embodiments of the present invention, not in order to limit the present invention, all spirit in the present invention Within principle, any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement etc. made, should be included within the scope of the present invention.
