The invention provides a control device of automobile electronic function, comprising: a display screen for displaying various information; at least one virtual switch occupying a touch area on the display screen and displayed on the display screen; wherein the virtual switch controls a certain automotive electronic function. In order to realize the switch for controlling a certain electronic function through the virtual switch, the invention CAN adopt a control component for connecting the virtual switch with a certain electronic function through a vehicle-mounted bus, for example, the virtual switch acquires state information (for example, information of opening, closing or failure of the function) uploaded by a certain electronic function control system (for example, ESP) from a vehicle-mounted CAN.
Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view of a center console of an automotive electronic function control method using a virtual switch according to an embodiment of the present invention. As a control device for electronic functions of an automobile, as shown in fig. 1, a center console includes existing air outlets (left and right sides), physical knobs 1-4, physical buttons 1-12, and a liquid crystal display. After applying the method for controlling electronic functions of an automobile based on virtual switches according to the present invention, at least one virtual switch may be displayed on the liquid crystal display, and the virtual switch corresponds to a control component of an electronic function. As shown in fig. 1, 6 virtual keys are displayed on the liquid crystal display, and three virtual keys on the left side correspond to the ESP function, the LDW function, and the ACC function, respectively, so that on-off control of three functional systems and acquisition of state information of whether a fault exists or not fed back by a related functional system can be realized.
FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of an improved embodiment of a liquid crystal display of the console of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, as the number of virtual switches increases, a switch bar for carrying the virtual switches may be configured on the display screen. The switch bar can record the functions frequently used by the driver according to the use frequency of the electronic functions, and preferentially present the electronic functions with higher use frequency in the switch bar. The number of electronic functions specifically displayed in the switch bar is displayed as a preset numerical value when not set. Of course, the driver can also set the corresponding number according to personal preferences, and at this time, the automobile electronic function control method based on the virtual switch provided by the invention can adjust the screen area occupied by the display switch bar according to the actual available area of the liquid crystal screen. Further, the switch bar is arranged on the display screen in a horizontal direction or a vertical direction. As shown in fig. 2, since the ESP function, the LDW function, and the ACC function are commonly used together with the electronic functions corresponding to the virtual keys 4-6, the corresponding 6 virtual keys are displayed in the left switch bar (e.g., vertically arranged), and the other virtual keys in the left switch bar are hidden. The virtual keys N1 and N2 (shown in dashed lines) and other virtual keys in the switch bar on the left side of fig. 2 have been hidden, i.e., the virtual keys N1 and N2 that have been hidden are shown in dashed lines in fig. 2. In addition, since the frequency of use of the electronic function corresponding to the virtual key in the right switch bar (e.g., vertically arranged) does not reach the preset threshold, the right switch bar (indicated by the dotted line) can be hidden as a whole.
As another embodiment, the switch bar may also be laterally configured. The manner in which the switch bar is displayed on the liquid crystal screen depends on the configuration of the user, the planar size of the liquid crystal screen, and the number of electronic functions and other control units. And carrying out corresponding virtual switch and display mode configuration of the switch bar thereof according to the principle of facilitating quick and accurate selection of the driver.
Furthermore, the switch bar can adopt a multilevel directory, is classified and divided according to the function types, and is classified by using a multilevel directory mapping function, so that a driver can quickly and accurately select the corresponding function in more and more electronic function configurations.
Fig. 3 is a schematic plan view of an instrument panel of a method for controlling electronic functions of an automobile based on virtual switches according to an embodiment of the present invention. As another control device for an electronic function of an automobile, as shown in fig. 3, the instrument panel includes a conventional tachometer (left lower side), a speedometer (right lower side), a thermometer (left upper side), an oil gauge (right upper side), and a liquid crystal panel. As shown in fig. 3, 3 virtual keys are displayed on the liquid crystal display, and the three virtual keys respectively correspond to the ESP function, the LDW function, and the ACC function, so that on-off control of three functional systems and acquisition of state information of whether a fault exists or not fed back by a related functional system can be realized.
Therefore, the invention carries out innovative design on a physical key control method which is used in the traditional automobile electronic control field all the time, and the vehicle is understood as a new intelligent terminal, so that the liquid crystal screen touch technology in the fields of mobile phones and the like which are developed rapidly at present is used for reference, and the liquid crystal screen touch technology is combined into the automobile electronic control field. Although the invention refers to the liquid crystal screen touch technology in the fields of mobile phones and the like, the invention provides an integral implementation scheme for the field of automobiles for the first time. In addition, because the system-level structure of the automobile system is completely different from that of other intelligent terminals such as a mobile phone and the like, further research and modification of corresponding components and functional units of the automobile system are needed to control the corresponding electronic function system by applying the liquid crystal screen touch technology in the automobile system, and therefore creative labor is needed to realize the method.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling electronic functions of an automobile based on a virtual switch according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the present invention provides a method for controlling electronic functions of an automobile based on virtual switches, wherein the automobile comprises a display screen, comprising: configuring and displaying at least one virtual switch on a display screen, wherein the virtual switch corresponds to a control component of a certain electronic function; when receiving the control operation aiming at the virtual switch, sending a switch signal to the control component; and after receiving the status message of the electronic function returned by the control part, displaying corresponding status information on the display screen. The display screen may be provided in a dashboard or center console for displaying various information. The virtual switch occupies a predetermined touch area on the display screen and is illuminated to be displayed on the display screen when touched by the driver. Each virtual switch is correspondingly connected with a control component of a certain electronic function, and can also access the control component of the certain electronic function in a wireless communication mode. The virtual switch is connected to a control unit of an electronic function via an on-board bus (e.g., CAN bus). And when the number of the virtual switches is more than two, configuring a switch bar for bearing the virtual switches on the display screen. For example, the switch bar is disposed on the display screen in a landscape or portrait orientation. The dashboard or center console configured on the existing automobile can be used as the display screen required by the invention, so as to be further applied to configuring the virtual keys required by the invention. As an embodiment, when the display screen is configured on the console, the virtual switch is controlled through touch operation.
As another embodiment, when the display screen is disposed on the dashboard, the virtual switch is controlled by a key provided on the steering wheel of the vehicle. Here, it should not be limited to the touch screen, and for a component such as a meter, the screen is not touch-operated, but can be operated using the multifunction steering wheel key. For example, the virtual switch may be turned on or off by pressing an OK button.
Fig. 5 is a flow chart of a response mechanism, taking an ESP function as an example, of the automobile electronic function control method based on the virtual switch according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, taking the virtual switch corresponding to the ESP function disposed in the center console as an example, when the driver clicks the touch area where the virtual switch corresponding to the ESP function is located, the virtual switch is lightened, and the switch state of the ESP function corresponding to the virtual switch is displayed. When the virtual switch is lightened, a processing module in the center console sends a switch signal through a CAN bus; when the control component (e.g., a Microprocessor Controller (MCU)) of the ESP receives the switching signal from the CAN bus, the control component of the ESP sends a response message to the center console through the CAN bus; after receiving the response message, the center console sends a switch state request to a control component of the ESP through the CAN bus; when the control component of the ESP receives a switch status request from the CAN bus, the control component of the ESP sends a status message of the electronic function (e.g., the ESP function is on, off, or faulty) to the console over the CAN bus; and then, the console displays the status message of the electronic function to the driver in a preset display mode.
Typically, the status of a function is on, off, or faulty, respectively. Thus, the status message of the electronic function fed back from the control unit to the switch carrier, such as the center console or dashboard, may include the following: open, closed, or fail.
For example, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, an ESP functional system may include: various sensors, data processors, actuators. For example, the various sensors may include: the system comprises a steering sensor, a wheel sensor, a sideslip sensor, a transverse acceleration sensor, a brake pedal sensor and the like, wherein the sensors are responsible for acquiring data of the state of a vehicle body. For example, the data processor is used for calculating the data acquired by each sensor, calculating the vehicle body state and comparing the vehicle body state with the preset data in the memory; and when the calculated data exceeds the numerical value prestored in the memory, namely the vehicle body is about to be out of control or is out of control, the actuator is commanded to work so as to ensure that the driving state of the vehicle body can meet the intention of a driver as much as possible. For example, the actuator includes: the braking system of 4 wheels, the car that disposes ESP its braking system has the pressure storage function, and braking system presses the brake oil pipe of certain wheel according to the control signal that data processor sent and makes this wheel produce the brake force.
When the sensors, data processor (which CAN be regarded as the "control component of the ESP" mentioned in the above paragraph) and actuators of the ESP functional system are able to work properly or a component fails, the control component of the ESP uploads a status message of the system itself (e.g., "normal" or "failed") to the CAN bus. When the ESP function system is normal, a status message indicating whether the ESP function system is on or off may be further uploaded to the CAN bus. For example, if the driver wishes to turn on an ESP function, it is only necessary to click on a virtual switch corresponding to the ESP function on a display screen (e.g., configured on a center console or dashboard), and then the virtual switch sends a request for an ESP on/off message to the ESP control component; the ESP control component returns a response to the virtual switch that the ESP is on (or "off"); after the communication handshake between the virtual switch and the ESP component is completed, the virtual switch sends a request for checking the state of the virtual switch to the ESP control component; the ESP control component returns a response to the virtual switch confirming that the ESP function may be turned on (or "off"); if the ESP functional system can work, the virtual switch enables the ESP functional system after detecting the response returned by the ESP control component, thereby realizing the switch control of the ESP functional system through the virtual switch. If the ESP functional system fails, the virtual switch does not detect the response of the ESP control component; and the virtual switch prompts according to a preset fault state display mode.
From the perspective of comparison with the prior art, it can be understood that the control switch of the existing ESP function of the automobile is a physical switch (e.g., a raised key marking ESP OFF) disposed on the center console, and the status of the ESP function is displayed by an ESP lamp having a specific pattern in a liquid crystal screen on the dashboard. Specifically, assuming that the ESP function is in the OFF state, when the driver presses the ESP OFF bump key on the center console in order to desire to turn on the ESP function, the LED lamp under the ESP OFF key is turned on to indicate that the ESP function has been activated, and at the same time, a state display lamp (ESP lamp) corresponding to the ESP function in a liquid crystal screen provided in the dashboard is also turned on.
However, the control switch of the ESP function using the method of the present invention may be a virtual touch button or a key (i.e. the above-mentioned "virtual switch") disposed on a liquid crystal display in the console, when the driver needs to control the switch of the ESP function, the driver only needs to hit the ESP virtual switch on the liquid crystal display disposed in the console to turn on or off the corresponding ESP function, and the ESP virtual switch may display the state of the ESP function by, for example, green indicating the on function or red indicating the off function.
It can be seen from the above comparison that, when the electronic functions are gradually increased, the existing physical key switch inevitably occupies a large amount of available space in the driving area, while the virtual key switch implementation method provided by the present invention does not increase the consumption of any physical space resource.
When virtual switches are increased, they can be managed by switch columns.
In another embodiment, the driver may trigger the processing step of the virtual switch of the ESP function by sliding a finger on the touch area where the virtual switch is located. The driver can easily select the corresponding virtual switch through clicking or sliding operation, and certain electronic function corresponding to the virtual switch is triggered and controlled.
In order to continuously add a virtual switch corresponding to a new function, a touch operation corresponding to a certain electronic function, a bidirectional communication mechanism between the virtual switch and the control unit may be predefined.
In order to make it easy for the driver to recognize the kind of the state information, different states may be displayed by different colors, that is, different states are displayed in different colors by virtual switches on the display screen. For example, if the ESP function is enabled (i.e., the ESP function is in a closed and no fault state), the virtual switch corresponding to the ESP function will receive an on-state message, which is then displayed on the control screen by a yellow light; similarly, if the ESP function is running (i.e., the ESP function is in a fault-free running state), the virtual switch will receive the off message, and then display the off message on the control screen by the green light; similarly, if the ESP function is not available (i.e., the ESP function is off and malfunctioning), the virtual switch will receive the malfunction message and then display the malfunction message on the control screen via the red light. Further, the virtual switch may also display the corresponding color in a blinking manner. Therefore, the virtual key realizes the switch and fault state of corresponding functions through visual matching of light and color, so that a driver can conveniently judge the functional object.
Since the virtual switch of the present invention is displayed through the in-vehicle display screen (e.g., the above-mentioned liquid crystal screen disposed on the center console or the dashboard), the virtual switch can be implemented in a human-machine interaction (UI) manner. For example, the UI interface may be presented using:
-indicating the status of the function by selecting a rectangular area on the screen;
-its state comprises:
-an enable state, prompting the user for an on state of the function;
-an off state, prompting the user for an off state of the function;
-a fault condition, a condition to alert a user that the function has failed;
-if there is a state that cannot be enabled or shut down or that has not failed, respond by an information prompt and the state remains the existing state;
-an information prompt informing the user that the function cannot be enabled or disabled or that the function fails.
As an embodiment, after receiving the status message of the electronic function returned by the control component for the switch signal, the automobile may prompt the status (e.g., on, off, or failure) of the electronic function through an information presentation manner such as voice (e.g., a speaker configured in the automobile), text, or image (e.g., a display screen configured in the automobile).
As another example, when a function failure occurs in a function corresponding to the virtual switch control, the driver may be notified in an information prompting manner, instead of the above implementation of displaying through the virtual key.
One of the innovations of the invention is that the automobile electronic function control method based on the virtual switch provided by the invention can replace a hardware switch in the prior art, greatly save the available space in the automobile on the basis of facilitating the identification and control of a driver, and reduce the hardware cost when a large amount of electronic functions are configured.
The foregoing is only a partial embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
