Description

Management method for managing the operation of a human-machine interface of a management device for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, and associated system and motor vehicle
Technical Field
The present invention claims priority from french application 2102327 filed on 3/10 of 2021, the contents of which (text, figures and claims) are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to the field of computers and electronic systems that are onboard motor vehicles in order to be able to provide a safety function for driving and vehicle safety. The invention relates in particular to a management method for managing the operation of a human-machine interface of a management device for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle by a computer system onboard said vehicle. The invention also relates to a computer system implementing such a method. The invention is particularly applicable to automobiles.
Background
It is known that some motor vehicles today are equipped with a driving assistance device and a navigation device. It is also known from this to find possibly so-called adaptive or dynamic glazing (i.e. for which the components are able to change (whether automatically or controlled) the opacity, coloration and/or reflectivity of the glazing). Finally, some vehicles may be equipped with said adaptive glazing, in particular as known from international patent application WO/2018/162506.
However, to date there appears to be no known system that enables a user of a vehicle to easily govern the operation of the adaptive glazing of the vehicle. However, this is unfortunate, as there are some situations in which any driver knows that the adaptive glass door window may bring advantages, especially in terms of preventing personal items from being stolen and/or vandalized, for example by the glass door window becoming opaque to prevent viewing from outside the vehicle, and also in terms of driving safety, for example by the tinted windshield to drive in fog or snow.
Thus, the systems for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle known so far still suffer undeniably from drawbacks in terms of human-computer interaction, since no flexibility is provided to enable the driver to conveniently manage the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, in particular to enable the driver/owner of the vehicle to personally assign a specific operating mode to the adaptive glazing of his vehicle.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention aims to overcome these deficiencies. In fact, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and a system that facilitate the possibility of providing a human-machine interface (which is ergonomic, i.e. facilitates human-machine interaction) of a management device for managing the operation of adaptive glazing of motor vehicles. The present invention aims, among other things, to provide a method and a system that facilitate the provision of a human-machine interface of a management device that is able to define an operating mode of the adaptive glazing for managing the operation of the adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, said operating mode being adapted according to the environment in which the vehicle is located and/or according to the use conditions of said vehicle. In this way, the invention aims at both improving well the protection of the vehicle from theft and vandalism and improving driving safety.
According to a first object of the present invention, these objects are achieved by means of a management method for managing the operation of a human-machine interface of a management device for managing the operation of adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle by a computer system onboard said vehicle, said method comprising the steps of:
i) Acquiring data characterizing at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing;
ii) obtaining data characterizing the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time and/or the use of the vehicle at the current time;
iii) Determining whether at least one specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing is adapted to the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time and/or the use of the vehicle at the current time; and, when it is established that (betabli) is such a case,
iv) managing the operation of the adaptive glazing according to a specific mode of operation of the adaptive glazing; or, otherwise,
v) managing the operation of the adaptive glazing according to the environment in which the vehicle is at the current moment and/or according to the use condition of the vehicle at the current moment.
According to a variant, data characterizing at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing may be acquired by means of a communication module of the vehicle for communication by radio frequency signals.
According to another variant, the data characterizing at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing may be generated in response to an entry carried out by means of a human-machine interface entry device.
According to another variant, the data characterizing at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing may be generated in response to an entry implemented by means of a website.
According to another variant, steps iv) and v) may comprise a step aimed at making the glazing opaque, a step aimed at tinting the glazing and/or a step aimed at modifying the reflectivity of the glazing.
According to another variant, the data characterizing at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing may identify at least one specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing depending on the environment in which the vehicle is located and/or depending on the use of the vehicle.
Furthermore, the present invention is also directed to a system for managing the operation of a human-machine interface of a management device for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, comprising at least one information processing unit comprising at least one processor and a data storage medium configured for implementing the method as described above.
Furthermore, the present invention also aims to provide a program comprising program code instructions for performing the steps of the method as described above when the program is executed on a computer and/or a processor.
In addition, the present invention also aims to provide a usable medium in a computer having a program as described above recorded thereon.
Finally, the invention also aims to provide a motor vehicle comprising a system as described above.

Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent upon reading the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the operation of a system according to the invention; and
fig. 2 is a flow chart showing the steps of the method according to the invention.
Detailed Description
According to the invention, the system 100 for managing the operation of a human-machine interface of a management device for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, as shown in fig. 1, comprises an information processing unit 101 (comprising one or more processors), a data storage medium 102 and an input and output interface 103 capable of receiving and transmitting data,
according to some embodiments, the system 100 according to the present invention is onboard a motor vehicle (e.g., an automobile, bus, heavy duty car, etc.) and housed on one or more of the vehicle's computers, electronic control units, or other telecommunication boxes. According to other embodiments, the system 100 is housed on a computer of a motor vehicle and interacts with a computer of a human-machine interface of a management device for managing the operation of adaptive glazing of said vehicle, by means of its input and output interface 103. According to a preferred embodiment, the system 100 according to the invention is part of a computer of a human-machine interface of a management device for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, said computer conventionally comprising means (for example electrodes) to modify, on request, the opacity, the coloration and/or the reflectivity of said adaptive glazing.
Thus, regardless of the embodiment of the invention, the system 100 according to the invention is always able to interact not only via its input and output interface 103 with a management device for managing the operation of the adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, but also with any other apparatus and/or device conventionally equipped on a motor vehicle (in particular driving assistance devices, navigation devices, management devices for managing the operation of lighting and/or signalling means, locking and/or anti-theft devices, communication modules for communication by radio frequency signals, heating and/or air conditioning devices, etc.).
The system 100 according to the invention thus enables, in particular, the operation of the adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle to be managed and data representative of at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing of the motor vehicle to be obtained, as well as data representative of the environment in which the vehicle is at the current moment and/or the use of the vehicle at the current moment, to be obtained by interacting with, or as part of, a human-machine interface of such a management device for managing the operation of the adaptive glazing of the motor vehicle.
According to the invention, all the elements described above contribute to enable the system 100 according to the invention to implement a management method for managing the operation of a human-machine interface of a management device for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, as described below in connection with fig. 2.
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 this end, the system 100 according to the invention preferably interacts with its data storage medium 102, on which data characterizing the operating mode of the adaptive glazing are recorded. In fact, the human-machine interface of the management device for managing the operation of the adaptive glazing of the vehicle comprises at least one input device, for example comprising a touch screen arranged on the cluster of the vehicle, and according to the invention, it enables the driver to define a plurality of specific modes of operation of the adaptive glazing (i.e. to identify a specific mode of operation) according to the environment in which the vehicle is located and/or according to the use condition of the vehicle. Thus, by means of the entry means, the driver can, for example, implement an entry aimed at specifying a first specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing (which is identified, for example, by the term "privacy") according to which it is established that the adaptive glazing needs to be darkened when the vehicle is in a stopped, locked and when the anti-theft device is triggered. Likewise, the driver can use the logging device to implement a logging aimed at specifying a second specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing (which is identified for example by the term "high temperature") according to which it is established that the reflectivity (i.e. specular effect) of the adaptive glazing needs to be modified when the vehicle is at rest and when the external temperature exceeds a pre-established threshold. Similarly, the driver can use the logging device to implement a logging aimed at specifying a third specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing (which is identified, for example, by the term "fog") according to which it is established that the coloration of the adaptive glazing needs to be modified (i.e. the windscreen is tinted yellow to drive in fog) when the humidity of the external air exceeds a pre-established threshold and the temperature of the external air is less than a pre-established threshold. In response to the entry performed by means of the human-machine interface entry device, data characterizing at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing are thus generated, which are acquired by the system 100 according to the invention during this first step 201 of the method according to the invention.
Alternatively, or cumulatively, data characterizing at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing is generated in response to an entry implemented by means of a website and acquired by means of a communication module of the vehicle for communication by radio frequency signals. In fact, according to the invention, the website is handled by the driver so that the driver is enabled to define a plurality of specific modes of operation of the adaptive glazing by the same way as a human-machine interface entry device. And, as with the human-machine interface entry device, when the driver performs the entry by means of the website, data characterizing at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing are generated, which are acquired by the system 100 by means of the communication module of the vehicle for communication by radio frequency signals. According to a further alternative embodiment, data characterizing at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing may be acquired at least partly solely by means of a communication module of the vehicle for communication by radio frequency signals. This is the case, for example, when these data are generated in an intelligent transportation system and/or in the context of a shared fleet of vehicles, when these data are established globally for a plurality of vehicles and are transmitted via a private or public wireless communication network to the communication module of the vehicle for communication by radio frequency signals.
Next, during a second step 202 of the method according to the invention, the system 100 according to the invention obtains data characterizing the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time and/or the use of the vehicle at the current time. For this purpose, the system 100 according to the invention acquires data representing the instantaneous movement speed of the vehicle at the current moment, for example by interacting with a driving assistance device of the vehicle, by interacting with a management device for managing the operation of the lighting and/or signaling means, by acquiring data representing the ambient brightness at the current moment, by interacting with a humidity sensor of the vehicle, by acquiring data representing the ambient humidity at the current moment … …, thereby acquiring the environment in which the vehicle is at the current moment. Likewise, with respect to the use of the vehicle at the current moment, the system 100 according to the invention obtains data representative of the locking condition of the vehicle at the current moment, for example by interacting with a locking and/or anti-theft device, by interacting with a heating and/or air conditioning device, by obtaining data representative of the power consumed by the heating and/or air conditioning device at the current moment, by interacting with the navigation system of the vehicle, by obtaining data … … representative of the current positioning of the vehicle.
Next, 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 specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing is adapted to the environment in which the vehicle is at the current moment and/or the use situation of the vehicle at the current moment. In other words, the system 100 according to the invention uses, in this phase, the data acquired during the first step 201, which characterize at least one operating mode of the adaptive glazing, which identifies at least one specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing, and the data acquired during the second step 202, which characterize the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time and/or the use of the vehicle at the current time, to determine whether the specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing corresponds to the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time and/or the use of the vehicle at the current time.
Next, according to a fourth step 204a of the method according to the invention, it is implemented that the system 100 according to the invention manages the operation of the adaptive glazing according to the specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing when it has been established during the previous step 203 that the specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing is adapted to (i.e. corresponds to) the environment in which the vehicle is at the current moment and/or the use situation of the vehicle at the current moment. For example, when the environment in which the vehicle is at the present moment corresponds to a situation in which the outside air temperature is low and the humidity is high, the system 100 has determined during step 203 that there is a specific operating mode, called "fog", of the adaptive glazing, which corresponds to this environment and thus manages the operation of the adaptive glazing (for example the windscreen of the vehicle) during a fourth step 204a of the method, so as to cause the adaptive glazing to be tinted yellow. Similarly, when the vehicle is at a standstill and when the external temperature exceeds a pre-established threshold, the system 100 has determined during step 203 that there is another specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing, called "high temperature", which corresponds to the environment and thus manages the operation of the adaptive glazing during a fourth step 204a of the method, so as to cause the reflectance of the adaptive glazing to change. Likewise, when the vehicle is at a standstill, locked and when the anti-theft device is triggered, the system 100 has determined during step 203 that there is another specific operating mode of the adaptive glazing, called "privacy", which corresponds to this use case of the vehicle and thus manages the operation of the adaptive glazing during a fourth step 204a of the method, so as to make the adaptive glazing less transparent.
In contrast, according to a fourth step 204b of the method according to the invention, the system 100 according to the invention implements that, when it has been established during the third step 203 that any particular operating mode of the adaptive glazing is not adapted to the environment in which the vehicle is at the current moment and/or the use of the vehicle at the current moment, the system manages the operation of the adaptive glazing according to the environment in which the vehicle is at the current moment and/or according to the use of the vehicle at the current moment. For example, when it is established that the ambient brightness is intense based on data characterizing the environment in which the vehicle is located at the current time, the system 100 according to the present invention manages the operation of the adaptive glazing so that the adaptive glazing becomes more opaque. According to another example, when the system 100 according to the invention determines, on the basis of data characterizing the use of the vehicle at the current moment, that it means to drag a trailer, it manages the operation of the adaptive glazing (for example the rear window of the vehicle) so as to make it much more or less opaque.
Thus, with the method and system according to the invention described above, there is a solution to provide a human-machine interface (which is ergonomic (i.e. facilitates human-machine interaction)) of a management device for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle. In particular, the method and system according to the invention facilitate the provision of a human-machine interface of a management device for managing the operation of an adaptive glazing of a motor vehicle, which can define an operating mode of said adaptive glazing, adapted according to the environment in which the vehicle is located and/or according to the use conditions of said vehicle. In this way, the method and system according to the invention described above both improve the protection of the vehicle from theft and vandalism and improve the driving safety.
