Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the electronic technology of a vehicle body, in particular to a flexible screen input device and an information entertainment system.
Background
The current infotainment devices in vehicles can be controlled mainly by operating components such as keys, knobs, touch screens of the center control panel, buttons on the steering wheel, and the like. This undoubtedly increases the time of the operation since the user sometimes needs to confirm the position of the operation member to perform the corresponding operation.
In addition, when the user performs different function operations, different operation components also need to be operated, which also increases the complexity of the operations and is not ideal from the perspective of user experience.

Detailed Description
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention to those skilled in the art. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. Furthermore, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described. Rather, it is contemplated that the invention may be practiced with any combination of the following features and elements, whether or not they relate to different embodiments. Thus, the following aspects, features, embodiments and advantages are merely illustrative and should not be considered elements or limitations of the claims except where explicitly recited in a claim.
As described in the related art, when a user operates, for example, an infotainment device in a vehicle, it takes time to confirm the position of an operation member. Even if the touch screen is used for inputting or controlling, the operation position of the user cannot be known without looking at the screen because the operation surface provided by the touch screen is a plane at present. Moreover, in view of the plane limitation of the current touch screen, the gesture actions that can be supported by the touch screen are relatively limited, which also limits the action efficiency of inputting or controlling on the touch screen. Some settings or function items that are hidden deeper on a function menu, for example, may require multiple operations to be performed to achieve this.
In view of the above, the present invention is conceived to enable a user to know his/her own operation position when performing an input or control operation, and to reduce operation steps for achieving a certain function or achieving a certain input by using richer gestures.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of a flexible screen input device according to the present invention includes: the flexible screen input device comprises a curved surface-shaped input surface, wherein the input screen is integrated with a multi-point touch control module for collecting contact and non-planar operations made by a user on the input surface, and is integrated with a force feedback module for providing operation feedback to the user after the input operation of the user, and the flexible screen input device further comprises: and the input processing module is used for processing the user input operation collected by the multi-point touch control module, generating corresponding input information and controlling the operation feedback.
Specifically, referring to fig. 6 in combination, this embodiment of the present invention utilizes the non-planar contact operation performed by the user to implement the input of the stereo gesture. For example, when a user rests a palm of the hand naturally on a curved input surface, it is assumed that all fingers are touching the input surface. Since each finger is located differently in space (the space defined by the xyz axes), this can itself constitute a stereo gesture. And when the number of the fingers contacting the input surface is different, different three-dimensional gestures can be formed. Even slightly changing the position of the fingers on the input surface can constitute different stereo gestures. This is only a static gesture design, and when actions are included, a more rich stereo gesture can be formed. And the input actions or control actions represented by the stereo gestures can be stored in the input processing module in a data-associated manner. When the input processing module identifies a certain three-dimensional gesture from the collected data of the multi-touch module, the corresponding input action or control action can be obtained from the associated data, so that the input information of the user can be confirmed.
In the above analysis, by inputting a stereo gesture on a curved input surface, it should be possible for a user to achieve a certain function or achieve a certain input with a much smaller number of operations than in the prior art. Also, spatial perception on a curved input surface can help a user to more easily locate an operation relative to a planar touch screen or keys, buttons, etc. In addition, the user can clearly know the operation process by combining the operation feedback.
In a specific implementation, the curved surface shape may be a sphere or an arc, which is convenient for a user to operate on the curved surface shape, and on the other hand, makes the user feel comfortable during operation. And the force feedback module may be a vibration module to provide vibration feedback after the user inputs the stereoscopic gesture.
In another embodiment of the flexible screen input device of the present invention shown in fig. 2, a proximity sensing module is added. The proximity sensing module can collect non-contact operations made by a user over the input device. The non-contact operation provides input of a stereo gesture, and only the detection mode is changed from contact detection to non-contact detection. Through increasing and approaching the response module, the user need not touch input device just can carry out gesture operation, has further increased the flexibility of operation.
In yet another embodiment of the flexible screen input device shown in fig. 3, a display screen is further integrated on part or all of the curved surface input surface, so that when the input processing module recognizes a gesture, operation information of a user can be displayed for the user to view and perform subsequent operations. Alternatively, the display screen may display some common operation prompt information, for example, displaying common function shortcut keys in some areas of the curved input surface. Because the input surface is a curved surface, more operation information or operation prompt information can be displayed in a certain space compared with a plane. In other embodiments of the flexible screen input device of the present invention, the proximity sensing module can be eliminated according to the requirements of practical applications. I.e. only a contact operation is provided.
The flexible screen input device of the present invention may further include a data communication module in view of its ease of use as an external input device. The data communication module may support one or more of the presently common data communication modes. Specifically, data communication may be performed through a wire harness, or through a vehicle bus, or wirelessly, such as bluetooth or WiFi.
Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the flexible screen input device of the present invention assembled in a vehicle. Referring initially to FIG. 7, the flexible screen input device 100 of the present invention may be mounted in a vehicle near a shift knob, which is an easy location for the driver or copilot to operate. Of course, the flexible screen input device of the present invention may be mounted in other suitable locations within the vehicle to suit, for example, other passengers. When the flexible screen input device of the present invention is mounted in a vehicle, it can communicate data with other subsystems in the vehicle in alternative ways, such as by using the aforementioned wiring harness, vehicle bus, wireless, etc. For example, as an external input device to these subsystems, it may be in data communication with the infotainment function processing apparatus 200 and/or the meter 300.
Referring to fig. 4, the vehicle infotainment system is constructed by using the flexible screen input device as the external input terminal of the existing infotainment processing apparatus. The flexible screen input device is connected with the infotainment function device through a wire harness or a vehicle bus or in a wireless mode (such as Bluetooth or WiFi). And when the wireless mode is selected, the position of the flexible screen input device can be flexibly arranged in the vehicle, so that the passenger can operate the device except the driver.
Compared with the prior art information entertainment system integrating the touch display screen, the information entertainment function processing device only needs to be provided with the display screen. Based on the above analysis, the user can operate or control the infotainment function device through a simpler three-dimensional gesture operation and with less time. In addition, due to rich operation of the three-dimensional gestures, a plurality of input devices in the past can be replaced by a single flexible screen device.
An application example is given below, taking a flexible screen input device as a spherical input surface as an example. When a user listens to music using the infotainment function device, the volume can be adjusted by performing a contact operation of rotating and sliding five fingers (imitating the action of a conventional adjusting knob) on the spherical input surface. The input processing module recognizes the three-dimensional gesture after acquiring the data acquired by the multi-point touch module, and sends the corresponding operation information for adjusting the volume to the infotainment function processing device. The infotainment function processing means performs the operation of volume adjustment after obtaining this operation information. If the five-finger clockwise rotation sliding is to increase the volume and the five-finger anticlockwise rotation sliding is to decrease the volume, when the user makes the five-finger clockwise rotation sliding on the spherical input surface, the infotainment function processing device can correspondingly execute the operation of increasing the volume according to the gesture recognition and the operation information transmission of the input device. Accordingly, the force feedback module may also prompt the user for an action by vibrating.
Similarly, referring to fig. 8, the sound source switching can also be triggered by a contact operation of grabbing on the spherical input surface, and the gesture is recognized as the change of the positions of the five fingers in the xyz space at the beginning and the end of the motion. With continued reference to FIG. 9, the previous or next source is then switched by a touch operation that rotates left or right along the spherical input surface, the gesture being recognized as a change in the position of the operating finger in xyz space at the beginning and end of the action.
As another example, an exhalation of the primary interface may also be triggered by the action of covering the palm of the hand over the spherical input surface.
It can be seen that the user does not need to look at the screen or look for the corresponding key to confirm his operation during the operation. In addition, due to the richness of the analyzed stereo gestures, most of the original motion modes can be completely reserved, and only touch operation is used for simulating, for example, the motion of simulating knob adjustment. Therefore, the user does not need to memorize the action command again, and the operation of the user is further facilitated.
Although fig. 4 only shows an example of a touch operation including a multi-touch module, it can be understood from the above description that a proximity sensing module may be added to increase the support of a non-touch operation. The corresponding processing procedures are similar and are not described herein again.
With continued reference to FIG. 5, in another embodiment of the infotainment system of the present invention, a flexible screen input device having a display screen integrated in whole or in part with the input surface may also be coupled to the infotainment function processing means. The input recognition and control process can refer to the example shown in fig. 4, and some states of the infotainment function processing device can be fed back to the input processing module due to the addition of the display screen to be displayed on the display screen. For example, in the above application example of adjusting the volume, the corresponding volume state can be synchronously displayed on the spherical input device, which is convenient for the user to view. For another example, when the user operation triggers a confirmation screen, the selection areas of "yes" and "no" may be displayed on the display screen, and the user may click one of the areas to select.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this disclosure, and it is intended that the scope of the present invention be defined by the appended claims.
