Definitions
- the present invention relates to a control interface for a motor vehicle for transmitting a haptic feedback to a user to inform him of the taking into account of a command.
- the invention also relates to a method of controlling said haptic feedback control interface.
- the haptic feedback generated for example by the user manipulating a wheel is generally composed of resistance forces of variable values, creating hard points and bearings, corresponding to different commands for the devices controlled via the interface.
- the haptic feedback is advantageous by car because it requires little attention from the driver, in particular, it does not require the driver to look away from the road.
- Interfaces comprising a magnetorheological fluid capable of exerting a braking force on a moving element in the fluid when a magnetic field is applied to the fluid because the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid changes with the intensity. applied magnetic field.
- the magneto-rheological fluid interfaces can thus generate a haptic feedback similar to a mechanical notching to the user handling the moving element immersed in the magnetorheological fluid.
- the haptic feedback informing the taking into account of a command may be less well perceived by the user. This phenomenon can be all the more important as the values of the braking forces exerted on the mobile element are of small amplitude. Indeed, the less effort is important and the more the user can quickly move the movable element.
- the subject of the present invention is a haptic feedback control interface for a motor vehicle comprising a magnetorheological fluid module comprising a mobile element, a magnetorheological fluid in contact with the element mobile and a magnetic field application unit configured to apply a magnetic field to the magnetorheological fluid and to modify the intensity of the applied magnetic field to generate a haptic feedback to the user moving the movable member by modification the magnetic field applied to the magnetorheological fluid, characterized in that it comprises a displacement speed sensor of the movable element and a control unit connected to the speed sensor and to the magnetic field application unit, the control unit being configured to driving the application unit of a magnetic field to change the value of the magnetic field applied to the magnetorheological fluid as a function of the speed with which the movable member is moved.
- the perception of the haptic feedback is thus adapted to the speed with which the moving element is displaced.
- the haptic feedback can then be better differentiated, for example by being accentuated or on the contrary decreased, even inactivated, or shifted, depending on the speed of movement of the movable element.
- This adaptation of the haptic feedback as a function of the moving speed of the movable element is generally not possible with a conventional mechanical button.
- control unit is configured to generate a haptic feedback whose braking force exerted on the mobile element displaced at a displacement speed greater than a reference displacement speed is increased with respect to the braking force exerted on the movable element moved at the reference displacement speed.
- the user then perceives an increase in the braking force when he quickly handles the moving element.
- Increasing the value of the braking force thus makes it possible to improve the perception of haptic feedback at a higher speed.
- This embodiment has the advantage of being easy to produce.
- control unit is configured to generate a haptic feedback shifted upstream of a reference position in the moving direction of the moving element for a movement speed of the movable element higher than a moving speed reference generating a haptic feedback to the reference position.
- the anticipated generation of fast-speed haptic feedback allows the user to perceive the haptic feedback at the same position as for a slower moving speed. It is thus possible to avoid any temporal offsets between the perception of a haptic feedback and a position to be indexed which would be associated with it. Such shifts could have occurred during handling at fast speed of the movable element, in particular because of the response time of the magnetorheological fluid module to generate a braking force and / or the response time necessary for the user to perceive said braking force generated.
- control unit is configured to generate a haptic feedback whose shape of the haptic feedback exerted on the mobile element displaced at a speed greater or less than a reference displacement speed is distinct from the shape of the haptic feedback exerted on the moving element moved at the reference displacement speed.
- the haptic feedback generated at more or less high speed can be better differentiated. Especially avoid situations for which the user would perceive more than a constant haptic feedback, without notches, instead of regular notches, for the rapid movement of the movable member.
- the control interface comprises a visual and / or audible feedback unit controlled by the control unit and configured to generate a visual and / or audible feedback with the haptic feedback, offset upstream of a reference position in the moving direction of the movable element for a movable element moving speed higher than a reference displacement speed generating visual and / or sound feedback at the reference position or offset downstream of a position of reference in the direction of movement of the movable member for a moving speed of the movable member less than the reference displacement speed. It is thus possible to avoid possible temporal offsets between the perception of a haptic feedback and that of a visual and / or sound feedback that would be associated with it. Such shifts could have occurred during the fast-speed manipulation of the mobile element, in particular because of the response time necessary to generate a visual and / or audible feedback and / or the response time necessary for the user to perceive said visual and / or sound return.
- the subject of the invention is also a method for controlling a haptic feedback control interface as described above, characterized in that the haptic feedback generated by the application of a magnetic field to the magnetomagnetic fluid is modified. rheological according to the speed with which the moving element is moved.

- the generation of the haptic feedback is shifted upstream of a reference position in the moving direction of the moving element for a moving speed of the movable element higher than a reference displacement speed generating a haptic feedback at the reference position
- the mobile element is rotatable and the generation of the haptic feedback is shifted by an angle of between 0.5 ° and 45 °,
- the braking force exerted on the movable element displaced at a movement speed greater than a speed threshold is greater than 0.1 N.m.
- the braking force exerted on the movable element displaced at a movement speed greater than a speed threshold is zero.
- the movable member is thus released from any braking force so that no more haptic feedback is felt by the user moving the movable member quickly.
- the shape of the haptic feedback exerted on the mobile element displaced at a speed greater or less than a reference displacement speed is distinct from the shape of the haptic feedback exerted on the moving element moved at the reference displacement speed
- the haptic feedback exerted on the mobile element displaced at a reference displacement speed has a shape registering in a sinusoidal shape and the haptic feedback exerted on the movable element displaced at a speed that is greater or less than the speed of reference displacement has a triangular shape
- a visual and / or sound return is generated with the haptic feedback and the generation of the visual and / or sound return is shifted upstream of a reference position in the moving direction of the moving element for a movement speed of the movable element which is higher than a reference displacement speed generating a visual and / or audible feedback at the reference position or is shifted downstream of a reference position in the direction of movement of the movable element for a moving speed of the moving element less than the reference displacement speed,
- the visual and / or sound return is generated at the same time as the generation of the haptic feedback for a movement speed of the movable element that is higher than the reference displacement speed for which the visual and / or sound return is generated after the generation of the haptic feedback, - the haptic feedback exerted on the mobile element displaced at a displacement speed greater than a reference displacement speed, comprises a number of haptic patterns distinct from the number of haptic patterns of the haptic feedback of the element. mobile moved at the reference speed of travel,

- the shape of the haptic feedback exerted on the element movable 6 moved at a speed greater or less than a reference displacement speed is distinct from the shape of the haptic feedback exerted on the movable member 6 moved to the reference displacement speed.
- the haptic feedback generated at more or less high speed can be better differentiated. Particularly avoid situations for which the user would perceive more than a constant haptic feedback, without notches, instead of regular notches, for the rapid movement of the movable member 6.
- the haptic feedback exerted on the moving element 6 moved at a reference displacement speed has a shape registering in a sinusoidal shape and the haptic feedback exerted on the mobile element 6 moved at a lower or higher speed.
- the reference displacement speed has a triangular shape.
- FIGS. 6a and 6b a fifth exemplary embodiment for a rotating mobile element 6 is illustrated in FIGS. 6a and 6b.
- the haptic feedback exerted on the movable element 6 moved at the reference displacement speed shown in FIG. 6b presents a pattern having a shape registering in a sinusoidal shape and the haptic feedback exerted on the movable element 6 moved to the Displacement speed less than the reference displacement speed shown in Figure 6a has a triangular pattern.
- the control interface comprises a visual and / or audible feedback unit connected to the control unit 18 and configured to generate a visual and / or audible feedback with the haptic feedback.
- the generation of the visual and / or sound return is shifted upstream of a reference position in the direction of movement of the movable element 6 for a moving speed of the movable element 6 higher than a moving speed of reference generating visual and / or audible feedback at the reference position, or, is shifted downstream of a reference position in the moving direction of the movable member 6 for a moving speed of the movable member 6 minus higher than the reference displacement speed.
- FIGS. 7a and 7b show a sixth exemplary embodiment for a rotating mobile element 6 with a triangular haptic feedback pattern and a visual and / or audible feedback represented in the figures by a vertical arrow.
- the visual and / or sound return is generated at the same time as the generation of the haptic feedback for a moving speed of the movable element 6 that is higher (FIG. 7b) than for a reference displacement speed of the mobile element 6 for which the visual and / or sound return is generated after the generation of the haptic feedback, for example at the peak braking effort ( Figure 7a).
- the haptic feedback exerted on the moving element 6 moved at a displacement speed greater than a reference displacement speed comprises a number of haptic patterns distinct from the number of haptic patterns of the haptic feedback of the moving element. 6 moved to the reference displacement speed.
- FIGS. 8a and 8b show a seventh exemplary embodiment for a rotating mobile element 6.
