Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a steering wheel, a schematic structural diagram of which is shown in fig. 1, including: steering wheel rim 1 and operation panel 2, steering wheel rim 1 is last to be integrated with atmosphere lamp area 3, and the regional touch sensor (not shown in fig. 1) that corresponds of the different rims of steering wheel rim 1 is provided with, is provided with electronic controller 4 in the operation panel 2, and atmosphere lamp area 3 and touch sensor all are connected with electronic controller 4 electricity.
In this embodiment, when the touch sensors are correspondingly arranged in different rim areas of the steering wheel, the touch sensors may be respectively arranged in the 0 to 2 o 'clock directions, the 2 to 4 o' clock directions, the 4 to 6 o 'clock directions, the 6 to 8 o' clock directions, the 8 to 10 o 'clock directions and the 10 to 12 o' clock directions of the rim of the steering wheel, and 6 touch sensors may be counted. Of course, rim areas with different sizes and shapes may be provided according to the area, and at least one touch sensor may be provided in each rim area.
Specifically, the type of the touch sensor may be any one or more of the following types:
capacitive sensors, resistive sensors, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, light sensitive sensors, vibration sensors, moisture sensitive sensors, magnetic sensitive sensors, gas sensitive sensors, and biosensors.
In addition, atmosphere lamp area can comprise a plurality of LED lamps, and a plurality of LED lamp evenly distributed are on the steering wheel rim. Of course, the LED lamp can be replaced by a laser lamp, an OLED lamp, a xenon lamp, a halogen lamp, etc. according to actual needs. The present embodiment is not limited to the type of colored lights constituting the atmosphere light strip.
The electronic controller is used for identifying touch operation input by a driver through the touch sensor; and controlling the atmosphere lamp strip to flicker based on touch operation.
In this embodiment, when the touch sensor is correspondingly disposed in the rim area, the corresponding relationship between the touch sensor and the rim area is calibrated in advance, and the corresponding relationship is stored in the electronic controller, for example, in the form of a MAP table.
At this time, when the touch sensor senses that the driver touches and sends a sensing signal to the electronic controller, the electronic controller can determine the area of the rim touched by the driver based on the corresponding relation. And determining the type of the touch operation input by the driver by combining the rim areas touched by one or more drivers, for example, the driver can determine the touch operation as the touch operation by touching one rim area, and then, for example, the driver can determine the touch operation as the sliding operation by touching the continuous rim area, and certainly, on the basis of identifying the type of the touch operation, the duration, the direction and the like of the touch operation can be further identified. And finally, controlling the atmosphere lamp strip to flicker according to a preset touch rule so as to respond to the touch operation input by the driver.
In some other embodiments, in order to realize the both hands position monitoring function, be used for the electronic controller based on the scintillation of touch operation control atmosphere lamp area specifically is used for:
and under the condition that the touch operation is touch operation, controlling part of the atmosphere lamp strip corresponding to the rim area where the touch operation is located to flicker a first color.
In this embodiment, touch sensors are provided in the steering wheel rim in the directions of 0 to 2 o 'clock, 2 to 4 o' clock, 4 to 6 o 'clock, 6 to 8 o' clock, 8 to 10 o 'clock, and 10 to 12 o' clock, respectively, for example. Assuming that an electronic controller receives induction signals sent by the touch sensors 1 arranged in the 0-2 o ' clock directions, the electronic controller determines that a touch operation exists in a rim area in the 0-2 o ' clock directions, at this time, part of the lamp strip in the 0-2 o ' clock directions can be controlled to flicker, and the flickering color can be specified, for example, a non-red light can be randomly lightened.
On the basis, in order to further increase the effect of the atmosphere lamp, the electronic controller is also used for:
and under the condition that no new touch operation is recognized within the specified duration, controlling the atmosphere lamp strip to flash a second color different from the first color.
In this embodiment, the following description will be made by taking an example in which touch sensors are provided in the directions of 0 to 2 o 'clock, 2 to 4 o' clock, 4 to 6 o 'clock, 6 to 8 o' clock, 8 to 10 o 'clock, and 10 to 12 o' clock of the rim of the steering wheel, respectively. Assuming that the specified time is 30 seconds, the electronic controller starts timing and continues to recognize new touch operation when recognizing that touch operation exists in the rim area in the 0-2 o 'clock direction and controlling part of the lamp strip of the atmosphere lamp strip to flicker in the 0-2 o' clock direction.
If no new touch operation is recognized within 30 seconds, the fact that the driver does not touch the steering wheel within 30 seconds is indicated, at the moment, the default driver does not need to operate the steering wheel, and the atmosphere lamp band can be controlled to light red light for a whole circle.
In some other embodiments, to implement the control function, the electronic controller for controlling the flickering of the atmosphere light band based on the touch operation is specifically configured to:
when the touch operation is the predefined control operation, part of the atmosphere lamp strip corresponding to the control designated area flickers in a designated color propelling movement mode; wherein, the first and the second end of the pipe are connected with each other,
the designated area includes at least two continuous rim areas, and the designated suit advancing moving mode is a basis for the electronic controller to identify the sliding operation of the designated area and generate a control instruction corresponding to the sliding operation.
In this embodiment, the predefined control operation may be a continuous touch operation for a specified area, for example, two continuous touch operations in a rim area in directions from 0 to 2 o' clock, the touch durations of the two continuous touch operations are within 0.1s to 0.5s, and the touch intervals of the two continuous touch operations are within 0.3s to 0.5s. Any one of the above control operations is not satisfied, and the electronic controller does not enter the control mode.
Of course, whether the designated area is selected, the selected area, the specific type of the control operation, and the specific condition may be set according to actual needs, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Further, if electronic controller gets into control mode, can control the partial atmosphere lamp area that appointed regional correspondence this moment and form the design and impel the removal effect to this suggestion driver should appointed regional slidable.
In addition, to indicate to the driver that the steering wheel has responded in time, the electronic controller is further configured to:
and in the process of inputting the control operation by the driver, controlling the part of the atmosphere lamp strip corresponding to the rim area where the control operation is positioned to flicker with a third color.
For example, when the duration of the first touch by the driver is within 0.1s to 0.5s, and the interval between the second touch and the first touch is within 0.3s to 0.5s, the electronic controller controls a part of the lamp strip in the directions of 0 to 2 o' clock to flash a third color, where the third color may be the same as the first color or the second color, or may be different from the first color or the second color, which is defined in this embodiment.
The following description will be made by taking steering control and volume control as examples:
1) Steering control:
the following description will be made by taking as an example the case where touch sensors are provided in the steering wheel rim at 0 to 2 o 'clock directions, 2 to 4 o' clock directions, 4 to 6 o 'clock directions, 6 to 8 o' clock directions, 8 to 10 o 'clock directions, and 10 to 12 o' clock directions, respectively. The specified area is assumed to be formed by two rim areas in the directions of 2 to 4 o 'clock and 4 to 6 o' clock. And after the electronic controller enters a control mode, controlling part of the lamp strip in the directions of 2 to 4 o 'clock and 4 to 6 o' clock to form a color propelling movement effect.
Further, if the driver continuously touches the 2 to 4 o 'clock rim area and the 4 to 6 o' clock rim area within a certain time, for example, 20 seconds, it can be determined that the driver inputs a clockwise sliding operation, and at this time, a left turn instruction can be generated. Conversely, if the driver inputs a counterclockwise sliding operation, a right turn instruction may be generated. Of course, if the driver does not input the sliding operation within the designated area within 20 seconds, the electronic controller exits the control mode.
It should be noted that, the corresponding relationship between the direction of the sliding operation and the steering direction may be set, which is not limited in this embodiment.
And for simulating steering reminding, the electronic controller can also generate a reminding message corresponding to the steering control instruction. For example, in order to simulate left turn reminding, the periodic jumping of part of the lamp strip in the direction of 8 to 10 o' clock of the atmosphere lamp strip can be controlled, for example, 1S bright and 1S dark; for example, for right turn reminding simulation, the periodic jumping of part of the lamp strip in the directions of 2 to 4 o' clock can be controlled.
In addition, if the electronic controller does not detect the steering operation of the steering wheel within the set time, such as 3 minutes, the steering reminding is quitted, the control mode is entered, and the atmosphere lamp strip is controlled again to form the design propelling movement effect in the partial lamp strips in the directions of 2 to 4 o 'clock and 4 to 6 o' clock.
2) Volume control:
the following description will be made by taking as an example the case where touch sensors are provided in the steering wheel rim at 0 to 2 o 'clock directions, 2 to 4 o' clock directions, 4 to 6 o 'clock directions, 6 to 8 o' clock directions, 8 to 10 o 'clock directions, and 10 to 12 o' clock directions, respectively. The specified area is assumed to be composed of two rim areas in the directions of 6 to 8 o 'clock and 8 to 10 o' clock. And after the electronic controller enters a control mode, controlling parts of the lamp strip of the atmosphere lamp strip in the directions of 6 to 8 o 'clock and 8 to 10 o' clock to form a color propelling movement effect.
Further, if the driver continuously touches the rim area in the directions of 6 to 8 o 'clock and the rim area in the directions of 8 to 10 o' clock within a certain time, for example, 20 seconds, it can be determined that the driver inputs the clockwise sliding operation, and at this time, the volume can be increased. On the contrary, if the driver inputs a counterclockwise sliding operation, a volume down instruction may be generated. Of course, if the driver does not input the sliding operation within the designated area within 20 seconds, the electronic controller exits the control mode.
It should be noted that, the corresponding relationship between the direction of the sliding operation and the volume change may be set, which is not limited in this embodiment.
And in order to simulate the volume change reminding, the electronic controller can also generate a reminding message corresponding to the steering control instruction. For example, the atmosphere lamp strip can be controlled to flash in a progress bar manner, and the volume progress levels of the atmosphere lamp strip are set according to the rim areas, for example, the whole atmosphere lamp strip corresponds to 12 volume progress levels, and the rim areas in 0 to 2 o 'clock directions correspond to volume level 1 and the rim areas in 2 to 4 o' clock directions correspond to volume level 3 and level 4 \8230 \ 8230;.
In order to increase the analog volume, the electronic controller can control the brightness and the blue of the whole ambient light, if the driver touches the rim area in the directions of 2 to 4 o 'clock for 1 time, the volume progress level is adjusted to be 4, and if the driver touches the rim area in the directions of 2 to 4 o' clock for 2 times, the volume progress level is adjusted to be 3.
In order to reduce the analog volume, the electronic controller can control the bright blue color of the partial rim area of the atmosphere lamp strip in the directions of 0 to 2 o ' clock, if the driver touches the rim area in the directions of 2 to 4 o ' clock for 1 time, the volume progress level is adjusted to be 3, and if the driver touches the rim area in the directions of 2 to 4 o ' clock for 2 times, the volume progress level is adjusted to be 4.
In some other embodiments, to implement the fatigue alert function, the electronic controller is further configured to:
and carrying out fatigue reminding on the driver according to the touch operation.
In this embodiment, during the driving of the vehicle, if the driver is in a fatigue state for a long period of time, for example, 5 minutes, and the number of times of operations on the steering wheel, such as turning operations, and for example, whistling operations, is less than a specified threshold, the driver may be determined to be in the fatigue state, and at this time, the driver may be reminded in a manner of voice announcement or blinking of a control color lamp.
Of course, the electronic controller may also remind the driver based on the detection results of other fatigue detection devices, and the fatigue detection mode is not limited in this embodiment.
In some other embodiments, to implement the health monitoring function, the electronic controller is further configured to:
the body data of the driver is acquired through the touch sensor.
In this embodiment, different types based on the touch sensor can respectively acquire different body data of the driver, for example, the temperature sensor can acquire the body temperature of the driver, and for example, the biosensor can acquire the blood pressure, heartbeat, and the like of the driver.
The steering wheel provided by the embodiment of the invention is additionally provided with the atmosphere lamp belt, the touch sensor and the electronic controller on the basis of the conventional steering wheel. The electronic controller can identify touch operation input by a driver through the touch sensor, and then control the flickering of the atmosphere lamp band based on the touch operation.
