Definitions

  • the invention relates to a touch-sensitive wireless remote control for multimedia equipment and "hands free" telephony of a motor vehicle.
  • Such a remote control is intended to drive a proper equipment that is usually placed on the dashboard, in a place that is often too far from the driver so that it can reach easily without hindering driving. It is for this reason that the equipment is completed by a remote control intended to facilitate access to commands of the basic functions of the equipment.
  • Such a wireless remote control is particularly suitable for equipment installed "retrofit" on a vehicle.
  • This remote control can be fixed on the steering wheel or on a support stuck on the dashboard, within reach of the driver.
  • the use of a wireless transmission of the controls allows in particular a mounting on the steering wheel of the remote control in the form of an insert, requiring no wire connection to the equipment.
  • the new generation equipment generally include the possibility of coupling the audio system of the vehicle not only to a hands-free telephone installation but also to a sound reproduction device such as a player, or a data storage medium audio such as a "USB key" or an SD card or other. It is then necessary to make available to the user, in addition to commands specific to telephony, commands such as: source selection, next song / previous song, play / pause, fine tuning of the sound volume, etc.
  • a remote control manipulable by a motor vehicle driver imposes an ergonomics, and the remote control must be melt in the cabin environment, while maintaining safety and driving pleasure.
  • steering wheel controls by an attached element fixed on the steering wheel may introduce discomfort to driving, especially if the driver must reflect or turn his eyes from the road to select the remote control button to operate .
  • the US 2009/0002217 A1 describes a wireless remote control box juxtaposed i) a large-area tactile surface, on which keys appear to activate various specific functions by finger contact, ii) conventional push-button contactors disposed at the periphery of the touch surface and to activate other specific functions.
  • Pushbutton contactors are, for example, "dumb” contactors intended to activate variable contextual functions whose wording is displayed on the central touching surface near each contactor.
  • This device is however not adapted to the particular environment, described above, a remote-controlled automotive equipment by a box that is not hand-held, but fixed on the steering wheel or on a support stuck to the board on board.
  • a remote-controlled automotive equipment by a box that is not hand-held, but fixed on the steering wheel or on a support stuck to the board on board.
  • it is important to focus on a very small surface a large number of commands, accessible with a single finger, for example a thumb, without the hand leaving the steering wheel, and above all which prevents the unintentional sending of commands when driving the vehicle.
  • a remote control for controlling a multimedia equipment and "hands-free" telephony, whereby the driver of a motor vehicle can transmit or receive a phone call without leaving the hands of the steering wheel and, similarly, start or stop playback of a music source, increase or decrease the playback volume, move to the previous or next song, etc.
  • This remote control 10 comprises a housing consisting essentially of a body 12 enclosing the various electronic circuits and closed by a cover 14 whose upper face, apparent, carries the various control keys.
  • the body 12 of the housing of the remote control 10 is fixed to the steering wheel 16 by means of a strap 18 for securing the housing 10 at the location chosen by the driver, generally within reach of the thumb where it is held. wheel.
  • the overall dimensions of the housing of the remote control 10 are for example of the order of 50 x 46 mm, so as to allow a discreet installation on the steering wheel with minimal discomfort for handling thereof.
  • the remote control 10 comprises a central button 20 of circular shape, the operation of which will be explained below, and two pairs 22, 24 of side keys arranged on opposite edges of the remote control, symmetrically with respect to a central axis 26.
  • the pair of side keys 22 comprises, for example, a key 22a corresponding to the stall function and a key 22b for launching the voice recognition function, these two keys 22a and 22b preferably being of similar size and arranged symmetrically on either side of an axis perpendicular to the central axis 26.
  • the pair of side keys 24 comprises, arranged in the same way, a key 24a for the on-hook control and a key 24b for the selection of the audio source that we want to read.
  • the central key 20 is advantageously arranged with a shoulder 28 recessed relative to the outer surface of the lid, that is to say with respect to the various keys 22a, 22b, 24a and 24b.
  • This tactile sensation can be further increased by giving the central key 20 a dome shape, slightly curved, as can be seen on the section of the Figure 2 .
  • the housing is also provided with light-emitting diodes 30 and 32, for example a green diode 30 on the stall key and a red diode 32 on the hang-up key, to allow easy operation of the remote control in a low-light environment.
  • these light-emitting diodes 30, 32 are powered only on detection (as will be explained below) of the approach of a finger near any one of the central or lateral keys 22a, 22b, 24a, 24b.
  • the Figure 2 illustrates more precisely how the cover 14 is hinged to the body 12 of the housing.
  • this lid is movable to pivot about a central axis 34, so as to cause a slight tilting to the left (with the conventions of the Figure 2 ) by a support 36 on one or other of the side keys 22a or 22b, or to the right by a support 38 on one or other of the keys 24a and 24b.
  • the lid 14 has only one degree of freedom with respect to the body 12, so for example that the support indifferently on the key 22a or the key 22b will have exactly the same effect with respect to the displacement of the lid relative to the body 12 (arrows 40), and the same for the keys 24a and 24b.
  • the lid 14 is a monoblock element fitted on the body 12 by means of an anti-tearing snap-in system 42 enabling the two parts 12 and 14 to be assembled without play.
  • the reaction forces will come (i) on the one hand from the elastic return effect of the element located under the cover (an electromechanical contactor or pushbutton, described more bottom) and (ii) on the other hand the deformation of the cover 14.
  • the controlled deformation of the plastic parts thus makes it possible to increase and to dose the actuating force of the controls, to prevent any unintentional sending of orders due to a too sensitive system.
  • the central key 20 is movable by depression (arrow 44), so as to trigger a function by an axial depression resulting from the support of a finger on the central key 20.
  • the central key 20 also allows, thanks to its circular shape, the detection of movements of the finger either by sliding from left to right or vice versa (arrow 46 on the Figure 1 ), either by a circular movement of the finger in a clockwise direction or in the opposite direction (arrows 48 on the Figure 1 ), guided movement by the shoulder 28 of the recess of the central key 20 relative to the rest of the lid.
  • the Figure 3 shows the case with the lid 14 open.
  • This cover carries on its inner face a set of capacitive touch sensors 50 and 52a, 52b, 54a, 54b, respectively disposed at the right of the central and lateral keys 22a, 22b, 24a, 24b.
  • These tactile sensors are carried by a flexible printed circuit disposed on the inner face of the cover 14.
  • This flexible printed circuit is extended by a series of conductors terminating in a connector 56 connected to the circuit 58 disposed in the body 12 of the housing and carrying the various electronic components of the remote control.
  • This circuit 56 carries in particular three electromechanical push button contactors, namely: a central contactor 60 located in line with the central key 20 (when the cover 14 is closed on the housing 12); a lateral contactor 62 located in line with the pair 22 of lateral keys 22a, 22b and common to these two keys; and a lateral contactor 64 located in line with the pair of keys 24a and 24b and common to these two keys.
  • the central contactor 60 is actuated by an axial support on the central key 20 (arrow 44 on the Figure 2 ).
  • the lateral switch 62 is actuated by pressing on any one of the lateral keys 22a or 22b (arrow 36 on the Figure 2 ) due to the pivoting (arrow 40) of the cover 14 on the body 10 following the pressing on one or the other of these keys.
  • the lateral contactor 64 is actuated by pressing on any one of the lateral keys 24a or 24b (arrow 38 on the Figure 2 ) due to the pivoting of the cover 14 on the body 10 following the pressing on one or the other of these keys.
  • the contactors 60, 62, 64 when actuated by one of the movements just mentioned, deliver the user a return both tactile (feeling of sudden depression of the push button) and auditory (click), which allows him to validate the order by a non-visual means.
  • the push-button switches 60, 62 and 64 also provide, by the spring included in their actuating rod, a return effect on the keys.
  • This booster effect can be increased by the deformation of the plastic parts with respect to the side keys 22a, 22b, 24a, 24b, as explained above, to make the system less sensitive to involuntary actuations.
  • the spring member 70 carries a central element 72 in contact with the central key, and uncoupled from the housing and the elastic elements 68, 70 by flexible arms 74 also providing a spring effect to the against the support exercised over the central key, which allows to control precisely the operating conditions of the latter.
  • the Figure 5 illustrates, in isolation, the flexible printed circuit carrying the various tactile sensors 50 and 52a, 52b, 54a and 54b.
  • the lateral sensors 52a, 52b, 54a, 54b are so configured that, once the flexible circuit is placed inside the cover, these sensors are located at the right of the respective keys 22a, 22b, 24a and 24b, so as to selectively detect the touch of a finger on one or other of these four keys.
  • the regions of the flexible circuit carrying the sensors 52a and 52b are connected to the central sensor 50 by a bridge, and likewise for the region carrying the sensors 54a and 54b. These two bridges allow relative movement of the central pushbutton, and therefore of the central sensor 50, relative to the remainder of the cover.
  • the latter is disposed vis-à-vis the central key 20, and has a particular configuration with four elementary sensors 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d.
  • This sensor is for example a multizone touch pad type overlap (overlapping zones), comprising four zones distributed approximately symmetrically on four quadrants.
  • This component which is in itself of a known type (marketed for example by Cypress Semiconductor Corp.), was chosen because it allows an excellent discrimination of the movements with only four sensors, thus four signals to be analyzed, and requires this is much less computation means than a matrix type sensor, for which the movement is much more difficult to analyze. Note that it is possible to use, instead of a four-zone sensor, a three-zone sensor (three sectors disposed substantially at 120 °), but at the cost of less precision.
  • the sensor 50 delivers four values corresponding to the different zones 50a, 50b, 50c and 50d, hereinafter referred to as "raw values".
  • the accuracy is of the order of 15%.
  • This multi-zone touch pad sensor is particularly well suited to detecting the rotational movements of one end of the finger (arrows 48 of the Figure 1 ), or rectilinear movement of this finger across the central key (arrows 46).
  • the Figure 6 illustrates in the form of a block diagram the different elements of the electronic circuit of the remote control unit 10.
  • the assembly is controlled by a low-power microcontroller 76, powered by a battery 78 of the button-button type.
  • This microcontroller is connected to the three contactors 60, 62, 64, so as to detect the state thereof (depressed or released); it is also connected to the various capacitive touch sensors 50 (with its four zones 50a to 50d) and 52a, 52b, 54a, 54b, via an interface circuit 80.
  • the microcontroller is also coupled to a circuit radio transmitter 82 for the transmission of commands, for example on a frequency of 433 MHz.
  • the transmitter circuit 82 transmits signals to a remote device 84, which is coupled to or embedded in the multimedia equipment that is to be controlled.
  • the remote equipment 84 comprises a receiver circuit 86 of the signals emitted by the transmitter 82 of the remote control 10, which signals are transmitted to a microcontroller 88 making it possible to issue CMD commands for controlling multimedia equipment and hands-free telephony. : unhook / unhook, volume increase / decrease, source selection, next / previous song, etc.
  • the microcontroller 76 of the remote control 10 whose autonomy must be preserved, only part of the control detection processes will be carried out within the remote control 10, a another part being performed within the remote equipment 84, by the microcontroller 88 of the latter.
  • the detection and analysis of the movement of the finger on the central touch sensor 20 are performed remotely by the microcontroller 88 of the remote equipment 84, because this analysis requires the implementation of relatively complex algorithms.

  • the state of the push-button switches 60, 62 and 64 and that of the Touch sensors associated with the pair of side keys 22 and 24 will be analyzed directly by the microcontroller 76 of the remote control 10.
  • One of the original features of the system of the invention resides in the combination of (i) touch sensors - namely a multizone sensor for the central key 20 and a sensor for each of the four side keys 22a, 22b, 24a, 24b - with (ii) three pushbutton contactors - namely a central contactor 60 associated with the central key 20, a lateral contactor 62 associated with the pair of keys 22a and 22b and a lateral contactor 64 associated with the pair of keys 24a and 24b .
  • each of the contactors 62 and 64 two touch zones are associated with the same contactor: respectively 22a, 22b for the contactor 62 and 24a, 24b for the contactor 64.
  • the contact with one of these four keys 22a, 22b, 24a or 24b must, to validate the taking into account of the command, be confirmed by the depression and the change of state of the corresponding contactor.
  • the remote control incorporates an accelerometer. It is indeed advantageous to detect the orientation in the space of the remote control with respect to an absolute reference, and to make the two reversible functions (from right to left vs. left to right) depending on whether the remote control is mounted to the right or left of the steering wheel.
  • this action is completely independent of the tilt of the steering wheel, and therefore accessible at any time, unlike a conventional solution type button or Joystick type joystick .
  • the Figure 7 is a flowchart illustrating the various steps of the algorithm executed by the microcontroller 76 of the remote control 10 for the analysis of the signals delivered by the sensors and contactors.
  • the algorithm detects the possible approach of a finger (test 104).
  • a finger approach is made if one of the capacitive touch sensors 52a, 52b, 54a, 54b of the lateral key pairs 22, 24, or if one of the sensors 50a to 50d of the central key 20, delivers a signal exceeding a predetermined threshold.
  • a signal is simultaneously detected on several of the lateral capacitive touch sensors 52a, 52b, 54a, 54b, or on one of the lateral sensors 52a, 52b, 54a, 54b and on at least one of the central sensors 50a to 50d simultaneously, this situation will not be considered as intended to activate a command and will not be considered as a "finger approach" in the sense of the algorithm. Indeed, this situation is most likely a maneuvering the steering wheel in which the user's hand touches the remote control unit 10, without wanting to send a command to the remote telephony equipment or audio.
  • the microcontroller 76 of the remote control is set sleep (step 106) for a predetermined period, for example 125 ms, to limit the overall power consumption. Indeed, in practice, it is sufficient to test the approach of a finger at regular intervals (eight times per second in this example) to ensure sufficient detection with respect to the reaction time of the user.
  • the microcontroller 76 is awake and the sensors are read (step 108), then the possible approach of a finger is sought by return to the test 104.
  • the LEDs 30 and 32 are lit (step 110), to facilitate the use of the remote control in the dark.
  • the next step (test 112) is to detect a change of state of the contactors 60, 62 or 64, that is to say a transition from the relaxed state to the depressed state or vice versa. If so, if the contactor is one of the side contactors 62 or 64, the algorithm determines which is the corresponding touch sensor that is active (52a or 52b, or 54a or 54b, respectively), and activates the control CMD associated with the corresponding side key (22a or 22b, or 24a or 24b, respectively), if the transition is a transition from the relaxed state to the depressed state. Conversely, if the transition is from the pressed state to the relaxed state, the CMD command is disabled. If the contactor in question is the central contactor 60, the corresponding command is directly activated or deactivated.
  • this sensor comprises a multi-zone touch pad 50 with four capacitive sensors 50a to 50d distributed approximately symmetrically over four quadrants, thus producing four sensor signals to be analyzed.
  • the Figure 8 illustrates a typical example of a signal delivered by one of these capacitive sensors 50a to 50d.
  • This figure gives, more specifically, an example of variation of the signal S outputted as a function of time, for a finger approach maneuver, followed by a contact, a movement of the finger on the sensor and withdrawal of the finger.
  • the approach of the finger is characterized by a sudden increase of the signal with a peak 90 followed by a decrease 92, characteristic of an edge effect.
  • the signal then varies according to the greater or lesser area sensor in contact or near the finger.
  • the withdrawal of the finger is characterized by a sharp drop of the signal, as in 94.
  • the actual approach of the finger will be validated only on detecting the decay 92, and the portion of the analyzed signal will be the one after the instant t 1 corresponding to the end of this decay.
  • the relaxation of the finger will be detected by a sudden drop in the signal, as in 94, and the values of S after the instant t 2 corresponding to the beginning of this fall will be eliminated.
  • the filtered portion of the signal, analyzed to determine the movement of the finger on the central pellet, will therefore be that between times t 1 and t 2 .
  • a signal comparable to that of Figure 8 is obtained for each of the four sensors 50a to 50d.
  • these values in their raw state, are collected and digitized and sent as is by the remote control to the remote equipment for analysis.
  • the Figure 9 is a flowchart of the different steps of the algorithm, executed by the microcontroller 88 of the remote equipment 84, used to perform this analysis of the movement of the finger on the multi-zone tactile pad 50.
  • the algorithm detects the reception of data (step 204), which is as indicated above the four raw digital data delivered by the respective touch sensors 50a to 50d at a given instant. These data are first filtered (step 206), so that they are taken into account only if a decrease of the signal (characteristic decay 92 of the signal) is detected.

Indeed, one can have an increase of the signal on one or more other sensors, according to the position of the finger on the multizone pellet, concurrently with a decrease on at least one of the other zones, revealing the approach and the contact of a finger.
  • the next step (block 208) consists in converting the four signals of the sensors into data in two perpendicular directions X and Y.
  • This conversion can be performed using conventional algorithms, which will not be described in detail, from the respective levels of the signals on the four sensors 50a to 50d corresponding to the four quadrants of the multi-zone pellet.
  • the remote control will analyze essentially the movement of the finger, detected by comparing two by two the raw data emitted successively by the remote control, that is to say the relative variations of the signals from one sampling time to the next (concretely, as indicated above , at intervals of 10 to 15 ms).
  • a relative variation of the signals between the sensors 50a and 50d will translate a variation in X of the movement of the finger, while a relative variation between the sensors 50c and 50d will translate a variation along Y.
  • test 210) is to determine if the motion is a rotation: if we detect variations simultaneously in X and Y, this variation will be interpreted as a rotation.
  • the algorithm proceeds to an analysis (step 212) to determine the approximate angular position of the finger on the multizone pellet from the four signals of the sensors 50a to 50d.
  • the algorithm then waits for the reception of new data sent by the remote control (step 214) and, if there is no distance from the finger (test 216), analyzes the new angular position (repetition of step 212), and and so on, so as to define a succession of points corresponding to the movements of rotation of the finger on the central key 20.
  • the rotation is likened to a succession of small elementary translations without releasing the finger contact; from the movement thus detected, the algorithm can determine the direction and the amplitude of the rotation, so as to generate a command for increasing or decreasing the sound volume of the equipment (or scrolling in a menu, or another order of the same nature).
  • the algorithm detects a displacement of the finger in rotation exceeding a certain threshold, it considers that there is an action requested by the user, which is translated by a step of sound volume, plus or minus according to the direction of this displacement. The position reached is then considered as a new starting point, and the analysis is repeated until a new threshold is exceeded, and so on.
  • the distance of the finger from the user at step 216 is detected by a sudden drop in the signal (as in 94 on the Figure 8 ) appearing simultaneously on the four sensors.
  • the algorithm then starts waiting for reception of new data (return to step 204).
  • step 210 If, in step 210, the algorithm had determined that the movement of the finger was not a rotational movement, the algorithm tests whether or not the finger has moved away (test 218, identical to the test 216 previously described). In the absence of remoteness, the algorithm returns to step 204, so as to acquire new data, until the distance of the finger is detected.
