Description

Dispositif et procédé de commande pour véhicule automobile Device and control method for a motor vehicle
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de contrôle pour véhicule automobile et un procédé de commande dudit dispositif de contrôle. The present invention relates to a control device for a motor vehicle and a control method of said control device.
Depuis ces dernières années, les voitures sont devenues plus faciles à manipuler avec l'apparition de nouvelles technologies émergentes (par exemple direction assistée, ABS, régulateur de vitesse, radar de recul etc.). Paradoxalement toutefois, le nombre de fonctions à contrôler pendant la conduite a lui aussi beaucoup augmenté. Ceci peut induire une certaine complexité liée à la mauvaise connaissance de l'utilisation de ces fonctionnalités et à leur diversité. La voiture est devenue un véritable espace de vie, perçue comme un centre de communi- cation personnel et interconnecté : avec par exemple le lecteur MP3, le GPS, la connexion avec les téléphones portables.  In recent years, cars have become easier to handle with the emergence of new emerging technologies (eg power steering, ABS, cruise control, reversing radar etc.). Paradoxically, however, the number of functions to be controlled while driving has also increased significantly. This can lead to some complexity related to the poor knowledge of the use of these features and their diversity. The car has become a real living space, perceived as a center of personal and interconnected communication: with, for example, the MP3 player, the GPS, the connection with mobile phones.
L'introduction de ces nouvelles fonctions se traduit par une augmentation du nombre de boutons sur le tableau de bord d'un cockpit de voiture. Cependant, le nombre de boutons ne peut pas être augmenté à l'infini, du fait notamment de la complexité engendrée, de l'espace limité, de l'accessibilité ou de la charge cognitive. De plus, l'interaction du conducteur avec les systèmes embarqués dans la voiture peut reproduire une situation de surcharge attentionnelle dans laquelle le conducteur peut ne pas traiter au mieux toutes les informations de la tâche de conduite, se traduisant par des erreurs et un temps de détection plus long.  The introduction of these new features results in an increase in the number of buttons on the dashboard of a car cockpit. However, the number of buttons can not be increased to infinity, especially because of the complexity generated, limited space, accessibility or cognitive load. In addition, the interaction of the driver with the systems in the car can reproduce a situation of attentional overload in which the driver can not handle at best all the information of the driving task, resulting in errors and a time of longer detection.
Une possibilité est de centraliser les boutons en les remplaçant par un écran tactile. Ceci permet de continuer à augmenter le nombre des fonctions, celles-ci devenant programmables et reconfigurables et exposées de façon temporaire ou permanente selon le contexte ou la fonction activée. L'écran inclut ainsi une possibilité de multifonctionnalité, tout en dématérialisant les boutons et en étant personnalisable. De plus, les écrans présentent trois autres avantages majeurs : ils permettent d'une part une interaction directe (la co-implantation de l'affi- chage et de saisie), d'autre part ils sont souples (l'affichage peut être facilement configuré pour un certain nombre de fonctions), et enfin ils sont intuitifs (méthode d'interaction familière comme par exemple « pointer »).  One possibility is to centralize the buttons by replacing them with a touch screen. This makes it possible to continue to increase the number of functions, these becoming programmable and reconfigurable and exposed temporarily or permanently depending on the context or the activated function. The screen thus includes a possibility of multifunctionality, while dematerializing the buttons and being customizable. In addition, the screens have three other major advantages: they allow on the one hand a direct interaction (co-implantation of the display and input), on the other hand they are flexible (the display can be easily configured for a number of functions), and finally they are intuitive (familiar interaction method such as "point").
Cependant, contrairement au cas d'un bouton-poussoir, lorsque le conducteur interagit avec un écran tactile, il ne reçoit aucune rétroaction liée directement à son action sur l'interface, autre que le simple contact de son doigt s'écrasant sur l'écran.  However, contrary to the case of a push button, when the driver interacts with a touch screen, he receives no feedback directly related to his action on the interface, other than the mere touch of his finger crashing on the screen. screen.
Afin de compenser la perte d'informations causée par la substitution d'interfaces mécaniques classiques par des écrans tactiles, il est prévu l'ajout d'un retour, tel que haptique, pour fournir une rétroaction du système à l'utilisateur. Ce retour permet d'éviter l'ambiguïté possible de la prise en compte de l'action de l'utilisateur par le système, susceptible de favoriser l'apparition de situations dangereuses. Il doit cependant en outre éviter de surcharger les voies visuelles et auditives déjà très sollicitées par la tâche de conduite. En effet, l'utilisation d'écrans tactiles dans un véhicule automobile ne doit pas gêner l'attention du conducteur. In order to compensate for the loss of information caused by the substitution of conventional mechanical interfaces with touch screens, it is planned to add a return, such as haptic, for provide system feedback to the user. This return makes it possible to avoid the possible ambiguity of taking into account the action of the user by the system, likely to favor the appearance of dangerous situations. However, it must also avoid overloading the visual and auditory pathways already heavily involved in the driving task. Indeed, the use of touch screens in a motor vehicle must not disturb the attention of the driver.
Un but de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif de contrôle et un procédé de commande dudit dispositif de contrôle, qui ne gêne pas la conduite, qui soit bien perçu et apprécié par les utilisateurs, et qui puisse être discriminable des autres signaux pour une application d'écrans tactiles respectant les contraintes automobiles.  An object of the present invention is to provide a control device and a control method of said control device, which does not hinder driving, which is well perceived and appreciated by users, and which can be discriminable from other signals for a application of touch screens respecting automobile constraints.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de commande pour véhicule automobile comportant :  For this purpose, the subject of the present invention is a control device for a motor vehicle comprising:
une surface tactile destinée à détecter un contact d'un doigt d'un utilisateur et le déplacement du doigt sur la surface tactile, et  a touch surface for detecting a touch of a user's finger and moving the finger on the touch surface, and
un module de retour haptique et/ou sonore configuré pour faire vibrer la surface tactile et/ou pour générer un retour sonore à l'utilisateur, en réponse à un contact de la surface tactile,  a haptic and / or audible feedback module configured to vibrate the tactile surface and / or to generate a sound feedback to the user, in response to contact of the tactile surface,
caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une unité de pilotage configurée pour piloter le module de retour haptique et/ou sonore, afin de générer un motif de retour haptique et/ou sonore lorsqu'un déplacement du doigt est détecté sur une frontière séparant deux zones de la surface tactile.  characterized in that it comprises a control unit configured to control the haptic and / or sound feedback module, in order to generate a haptic and / or audible return pattern when a movement of the finger is detected on a border separating two zones touch surface.
Par frontière séparant deux zones, on entend une frontière ou limitation prédéfinie sur la surface tactile par l'intermédiaire par exemple du programme d'ordinateur ou logiciel chargé dans l'unité de pilotage. Il s'agit donc d'une frontière définie par logiciel et non d'une frontière physique ou identifiée par des marquages. On peut ainsi simuler grâce au retour haptique et/ou sonore, une frontière physique ou une limitation entre deux zones alors que la surface tactile en est dépourvue et généralement toute lisse.  Border separating two zones means a boundary or limitation predefined on the touch surface via for example the computer program or software loaded into the control unit. It is therefore a software-defined boundary and not a physical boundary or identified by markings. One can thus simulate through haptic feedback and / or sound, a physical boundary or a limitation between two areas while the touch surface is devoid and generally smooth.
Selon une ou plusieurs caractéristiques du dispositif de commande, prise seule ou en combinaison,  According to one or more characteristics of the control device, taken alone or in combination,
aucun retour haptique n'est généré une fois que le doigt a franchi la frontière, la surface tactile comporte au moins une première zone délimitée par une surface fermée, et au moins une deuxième zone entourant ladite première zone. On peut ainsi simuler par exemple une touche de clavier, un premier retour haptique et/ou sonore est généré lorsqu'un déplacement du doigt entrant dans la première zone délimitée par une surface fermée est détecté et un deuxième retour haptique et/ou sonore, est généré lorsqu'un déplacement du doigt sortant dans ladite première zone est détecté. On peut simuler le ressenti d'un utilisateur enfonçant, puis relâchant une touche, no haptic feedback is generated once the finger has crossed the border, the touch surface comprises at least a first zone delimited by a closed surface, and at least a second zone surrounding said first zone. We can simulate for example a keyboard key, a first haptic and / or sound return is generated when a movement of the finger entering the first zone delimited by a closed surface is detected and a second haptic and / or sound return is generated when a displacement of the finger exiting in said first zone is detected. We can simulate the feeling of a user pressing and releasing a key,
le deuxième retour haptique et/ou sonore est distinct du premier retour haptique et/ou sonore,  the second haptic and / or sound return is distinct from the first haptic and / or sound return,
l'unité de pilotage commande une fonction lorsqu'un contact est détecté dans la zone située derrière la frontière,  the control unit controls a function when a contact is detected in the area behind the border,
- un paramètre du retour sonore est choisi parmi l'intensité du volume, phase, fréquence, durée et/ou un paramètre du retour haptique est choisi parmi l'intensité de l'accélération, fréquence, amplitude, durée, la phase.  a parameter of the sound return is chosen from the intensity of the volume, phase, frequency, duration and / or a parameter of the haptic feedback is chosen from the intensity of the acceleration, frequency, amplitude, duration, phase.
L'invention a aussi pour objet un procédé de commande d'un dispositif de commande pour véhicule automobile tel que décrit précédemment, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte les étapes suivantes :  The invention also relates to a control method of a control device for a motor vehicle as described above, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
on détecte un contact d'un doigt d'un utilisateur et le déplacement du doigt sur une surface tactile, et  detecting a touch of a user's finger and moving the finger on a touch surface, and
on génère un motif de retour haptique et/ou sonore lorsqu'un déplacement du doigt est détecté sur une frontière séparant deux zones de la surface tactile. Selon une ou plusieurs caractéristiques du procédé de commande prise seule ou en combinaison,  generating a haptic and / or audible return pattern when a finger is detected on a boundary separating two areas of the touch surface. According to one or more characteristics of the control method, taken alone or in combination,
aucun retour haptique n'est généré une fois que le doigt a franchi la frontière, la surface tactile comporte au moins une première zone délimitée par une surface fermée, et au moins une deuxième zone entourant ladite première zone, - un premier retour haptique et/ou sonore est généré lorsqu'un déplacement du doigt entrant dans une première zone est détecté et un deuxième retour haptique et/ou sonore, est généré lorsqu'un déplacement du doigt sortant dans ladite première zone est détecté,  no haptic feedback is generated once the finger has crossed the border, the tactile surface comprises at least a first zone delimited by a closed surface, and at least a second zone surrounding said first zone, - a first haptic feedback and / or sound is generated when a movement of the finger entering a first zone is detected and a second haptic and / or audible return is generated when a displacement of the finger exiting in said first zone is detected,

La surface tactile 2 est destinée à détecter un contact d'un doigt d'un utilisateur et le déplacement du doigt sur la surface tactile 2.  The touch surface 2 is intended to detect a touch of a finger of a user and the movement of the finger on the touch surface 2.
Le module de retour haptique et/ou sonore 4 est configuré pour faire vibrer la surface tactile 2 en réponse à un contact de la surface tactile 2 par un doigt ou tout autre moyen d'activation (par exemple un stylet) d'un utilisateur ayant par exemple modifié ou sélectionné une commande et/ou pour générer un retour sonore à l'utilisateur, en réponse à un contact de la surface tactile 2.  The haptic and / or sound return module 4 is configured to vibrate the touch surface 2 in response to contact of the touch surface 2 by a finger or other activation means (for example a stylus) of a user having for example modified or selected a command and / or to generate a sound feedback to the user, in response to a contact of the touch surface 2.
On désigne par « haptique », un retour par le toucher. Ainsi, le retour haptique est un signal vibratoire ou vibrotactile.  "Haptic" means a return by touch. Thus, haptic feedback is a vibratory or vibrotactile signal.
Le dispositif de commande 1 peut comporter un dispositif d'affichage disposé sous la surface tactile 2 pour afficher des images au travers de la surface tactile 2, alors transparente, formant ainsi un écran tactile.  The control device 1 may comprise a display device disposed under the touch surface 2 to display images through the touch surface 2, then transparent, thereby forming a touch screen.
Un écran tactile est un périphérique d'entrée permettant aux utilisateurs d'un système d'interagir avec celui-ci grâce au toucher. Il permet l'interaction directe de l'utilisateur sur la zone qu'il veut sélectionner pour des utilisations diverses comme par exemple, la sélection d'une adresse de destination ou d'un nom dans un répertoire, les réglages du système de climatisation, l'activation d'une fonction dédiée, la sélection d'une piste parmi une liste, ou d'une manière générale le défilement parmi une liste de choix, la sélection, la validation, et l'erreur. La surface tactile 2 comporte une plaque portant un capteur de contact pour détecter une pression d'appui ou un déplacement du doigt ou d'un stylet de l'utilisateur. A touch screen is an input device that allows users of a system to interact with it through touch. It allows the direct interaction of the user on the zone he wants to select for various uses such as, for example, the selection of a destination address or a name in a directory, the air conditioning system settings, enabling a dedicated function, selecting a track from a list, or generally scrolling through a list of choices, selection, validation, and error. The touch surface 2 comprises a plate carrying a contact sensor to detect a pressing pressure or a movement of the finger or a stylus of the user.
Le capteur de contact est par exemple un capteur de pression, tel qu'utilisant la technologie FSR pour « Force Sensing Resistor » en anglais, c'est-à-dire utilisant des résistances sensibles à la pression. La technologie SFR présente une très bonne résistance et robustesse, tout en ayant une résolution élevée. De plus, elle est très réactive et précise, tout en étant relativement stable dans le temps. Elle peut avoir une durée de vie assez longue, et est utilisable avec tout type de moyen d'activation, à un coût relativement faible.  The contact sensor is for example a pressure sensor, such as using the FSR technology for "Force Sensing Resistor" in English, that is to say using pressure-sensitive resistors. SFR technology has a very good resistance and robustness, while having a high resolution. In addition, it is very reactive and precise, while being relatively stable over time. It can have a fairly long life, and can be used with any type of activation means, at a relatively low cost.
Selon une conception de la technologie FSR, le capteur fonctionne en mettant en contact deux couches conductrices par exemple par l'action du doigt. Une des réalisations consiste à recouvrir une dalle de verre d'une couche d'encre conductrice, sur laquelle est superposée une feuille de polyester souple, elle-même recouverte sur sa face interne d'une couche d'encre conductrice. Des plots isolants et transparents isolent la dalle de la feuille polyester. L'activation sur la surface tactile produit un léger enfoncement de la couche polyester, qui vient en contact avec la couche conductrice de la dalle de verre. Le contact local des deux couches conductrices entraîne une modification du courant électrique appliqué sur la dalle, correspondant à un gradient de tension.  According to a design of the FSR technology, the sensor operates by contacting two conductive layers for example by the action of the finger. One of the embodiments consists in covering a glass slab with a layer of conductive ink, on which is superimposed a sheet of flexible polyester, itself covered on its inner face with a layer of conductive ink. Insulating and transparent pads isolate the slab from the polyester sheet. The activation on the tactile surface produces a slight depression of the polyester layer, which comes into contact with the conductive layer of the glass slab. The local contact of the two conductive layers causes a modification of the electric current applied to the slab, corresponding to a voltage gradient.
Selon un autre exemple, le capteur de contact comprend des couches semi-conductrices souples prises en sandwich entre par exemple une couche conductrice et une couche résistive. En exerçant une pression ou un glissé sur la couche FSR, sa résistance ohmique diminue permettant ainsi, par application d'une tension électrique adaptée, de mesurer la pression appliquée et / ou la localisation de l'endroit où la pression est exercée.  In another example, the contact sensor comprises flexible semiconductor layers sandwiched between for example a conductive layer and a resistive layer. By exerting pressure or sliding on the FSR layer, its ohmic resistance decreases allowing, by applying a suitable voltage, to measure the pressure applied and / or the location of the place where the pressure is exerted.
Selon un autre exemple, le capteur de contact est basé sur une technologie capacitive. In another example, the contact sensor is based on a capacitive technology.
Le module de retour haptique 4 comporte au moins un actionneur (non représenté) relié à la plaque de la surface tactile 2, pour générer le retour haptique en fonction d'un signal issu du capteur de contact. Le retour haptique est un signal vibratoire tel qu'une vibration produite par un signal de commande sinusoïdal ou par un signal de commande comportant un ou une succession de puises, envoyé à l'actionneur. La vibration est par exemple dirigée dans le plan de la surface tactile 2 ou orthogonalement au plan de la surface tactile 2 ou encore dirigée selon une combinaison de ces deux directions. The haptic feedback module 4 comprises at least one actuator (not shown) connected to the plate of the touch surface 2, to generate the haptic feedback as a function of a signal from the contact sensor. The haptic feedback is a vibratory signal such as a vibration produced by a sinusoidal control signal or by a control signal comprising one or a succession of pulses sent to the actuator. The vibration is for example directed in the plane of the touch surface 2 or orthogonally to the plane of the touch surface 2 or directed in a combination of these two directions.
Dans le cas de plusieurs actionneurs, ces derniers sont agencés sous la surface tactile 2, dans différentes positions (au centre ou sur un côté) ou dans différentes orientations (dans la direction de l'appui sur la surface ou dans un autre axe). Selon un exemple de réalisation, l'actionneur repose sur une technologie similaire à celle du Haut-Parleur (en anglais : « Voice Coil »). Il comporte une partie fixe et une partie mobile en translation dans un entrefer de la partie fixe par exemple de l'ordre de 200μηΊ, entre une première et une deuxième position, parallèlement à un axe longitudinal de la partie mobile. La partie mobile est par exemple formée par un aimant mobile coulissant à l'intérieur d'une bobine fixe ou par une bobine mobile coulissant autour d'un aimant fixe, la partie mobile et la partie fixe coopérant par effet électromagnétique. Les parties mobiles sont reliées à la plaque de manière que le mouvement des parties mobiles engendre le mouvement en translation de la plaque pour générer le retour haptique au doigt de l'utilisateur. Cette technologie est facilement contrôlable et permet de déplacer de fortes masses, comme celle d'un écran, à diverses fréquences et respecte les contraintes automobiles très strictes que sont un faible coût, une bonne résistance aux variations de températures importantes, et une facilité de mise en place. In the case of several actuators, the latter are arranged under the touch surface 2, in different positions (in the center or on one side) or in different orientations (in the direction of the support on the surface or in another axis). According to an exemplary embodiment, the actuator is based on a technology similar to that of the speaker (in English: "Voice Coil"). It comprises a fixed part and a part movable in translation in an air gap of the fixed part, for example of the order of 200μηΊ, between a first and a second position, parallel to a longitudinal axis of the movable part. The moving part is for example formed by a movable magnet sliding inside a fixed coil or by a movable coil sliding around a fixed magnet, the movable part and the fixed part cooperating by electromagnetic effect. The moving parts are connected to the plate so that the movement of the moving parts causes the translational movement of the plate to generate the haptic feedback to the user's finger. This technology is easily controllable and can move large masses, such as a screen, at various frequencies and meets the strict automotive constraints that are low cost, good resistance to significant temperature variations, and ease of use. in place.
Le dispositif de commande 1 comporte en outre une unité de pilotage 5 configurée pour piloter le module de retour haptique et/ou sonore 4 afin de générer un motif de retour haptique et/ou sonore lorsqu'un déplacement du doigt est détecté sur une frontière 6 séparant deux zones Z1 , Z2 de la surface tactile 2.  The control device 1 furthermore comprises a control unit 5 configured to control the haptic and / or sound return module 4 in order to generate a haptic and / or audible return pattern when a movement of the finger is detected on a border 6 separating two zones Z1, Z2 from the touch surface 2.
Bien entendu, la frontière 6 n'est pas matérialisée sur la surface tactile 2.  Of course, the border 6 is not materialized on the touch surface 2.
Le déplacement du doigt, tel qu'un glissement, comporte l'information de la localisation du doigt sur au moins deux coordonnées spatiales successives sur la surface tactile 2.  The movement of the finger, such as sliding, includes information on the location of the finger on at least two successive spatial coordinates on the tactile surface 2.
Un paramètre du retour sonore peut être choisi parmi l'intensité du volume, la phase, la fréquence, la durée.  A parameter of the sound return can be chosen among the intensity of the volume, the phase, the frequency, the duration.
Un paramètre du retour haptique peut être choisi parmi l'intensité de l'accélération, la fréquence, l'amplitude, la durée, la phase.  A parameter of the haptic feedback can be chosen from the intensity of the acceleration, the frequency, the amplitude, the duration, the phase.
On peut ainsi simuler grâce au retour haptique et/ou sonore, une frontière physique entre deux zones.  It is thus possible to simulate, thanks to the haptic and / or sound return, a physical boundary between two zones.
La frontière présente par exemple une forme de ligne, par exemple au moins partiellement rectiligne.  The border has for example a line shape, for example at least partially rectilinear.
On peut prévoir en outre qu'aucun retour haptique ne soit généré une fois que le doigt a franchi la frontière 6.  It can be further provided that no haptic feedback is generated once the finger has crossed the border 6.
On peut également prévoir que l'unité de pilotage 5 commande une fonction, par exemple pour commander des systèmes embarqués du véhicule tels que le système de climatisation, de radio, de musique, du téléphone, de ventilation ou de navigation, lorsqu'un contact est détecté dans la zone Z1 située derrière la frontière 6. Selon un exemple de réalisation représenté sur la figure 2, la surface tactile 2 comporte au moins une première zone Z1 délimitée par une surface fermée, par exemple sensiblement carrée, et au moins une deuxième zone Z2 entourant la première zone Z1. It can also be provided that the control unit 5 controls a function, for example to control on-board vehicle systems such as the air conditioning, radio, music, telephone, ventilation or navigation system, when a contact is detected in zone Z1 located behind border 6. According to an exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the tactile surface 2 comprises at least a first zone Z1 delimited by a closed surface, for example substantially square, and at least a second zone Z2 surrounding the first zone Z1.
On peut également prévoir que l'unité de pilotage 5 commande une fonction lorsqu'un contact est détecté dans la zone fermée Z1. On peut ainsi simuler par exemple une touche de clavier. Ainsi, lorsque le doigt de l'utilisateur franchit la frontière 6, il ressent un retour haptique l'informant de ce passage, simulant par exemple l'enfoncement d'une touche.  It can also be provided that the control unit 5 controls a function when a contact is detected in the closed zone Z1. One can thus simulate for example a key of keyboard. Thus, when the user's finger crosses the border 6, he feels a haptic feedback informing him of this passage, simulating for example the depression of a key.
On peut prévoir en outre qu'un premier retour haptique et/ou sonore soit généré lorsqu'un déplacement du doigt entrant dans une zone fermée Z1 est détecté et qu'un deuxième retour haptique et/ou sonore soit généré lorsqu'un déplacement du doigt sortant dans ladite zone fermée Z1 est détecté. Le deuxième retour haptique peut être distinct du premier retour haptique de sorte que l'on peut simuler le ressenti d'un utilisateur enfonçant, puis relâchant une touche.  It can further be provided that a first haptic and / or sound return is generated when a movement of the finger entering a closed zone Z1 is detected and that a second haptic and / or sound return is generated when a movement of the finger exiting in said closed zone Z1 is detected. The second haptic feedback may be distinct from the first haptic feedback so that the feeling of a user pressing and releasing a key can be simulated.
