- This device comprises a touchpad arranged on a central console which occupies the space between the driver's seat and that of a passenger at his side, in which the touchpad is a single continuous piece arranged in front of a wrist rest at the rear. reach of the fingertips of a user's hand.
- Such a device is not entirely satisfactory because it forces the user to adopt a precise position of the arm and the wrist in order to interact with the touchpad. This position is not necessarily suitable or comfortable with all body types of users.
- the aim of the invention is in particular to remedy the aforementioned problem by providing a device for controlling a screen that is less restrictive as regards the position of the user while allowing a wide variety of gestures.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a central vehicle console comprising a control device with haptic feedback, said console central unit being intended to occupy a space between a driver's seat and that of a passenger next to it, said device comprising a detection module, arranged on the central console, configured to detect a position and movements of a hand user and an array of ultrasonic transducers to generate haptic feedback.
- a control device with haptic feedback including sensing module allows greater freedom of movement for the user.
- the user is not forced to touch a two-dimensional surface. He can move his hand freely in the detection space of the detection system. The user does not need to look at the control system.
- the user is guided by a haptic feeling in the air, resulting from a pressure model formed by the array of transducers.
- control device is configured to control a display device arranged at a distance from the array of ultrasonic transducers.
- the device controls a display device located in or near the driver's field of vision when viewing from a hand-accessible control while maintaining a comfortable driving posture.
- the array of transducers comprises two parts.
- the separation of the transducer array into several parts reduces the footprint by facilitating the integration of the array into the vehicle interior.
- the two parts of the array of transducers are distributed on the console symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry P of the console. This arrangement allows easier parameterization of the transducer network.
- the console having a concave shape, each of the parts comprising a main plane in which the transducers are located, the concavity of the central console is formed by the main planes of the two parts of the array of transducers.
- the array of transducers is covered with a material allowing the ultrasonic waves to pass.
- the material allows both to protect the transducer array and to hide it from the view of users.
- the material is a fabric.
- the invention also relates to a vehicle comprising a center console according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a vehicle interior, according to a particular embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a perspective view of a control device according to a particular embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 3 schematically illustrates an exploded view of a control device, according to a particular embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 4 schematically illustrates a sectional view, along a transverse axis, of a control device, according to a particular embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 1 shows a vehicle interior 1 and in particular a dashboard and a central console.
- the dashboard comprises for example, on the driver's side, which is in the example shown on the left side of the vehicle, an instrument cluster 11.
- the dashboard also includes, for example, in a central part a screen 12. This may possibly be a touch screen.
- the invention is not limited to a screen, it can be any display device allowing visual feedback, for example a projection or video system. rear projection. It may also be a head-up vision system, or even a display system on the glazing.
- the central console 13 is arranged between the driver's seat 14 and the passenger seat 15 located next to that of the driver.
- the invention relates to a control device with haptic feedback integrated into the central console 13 of the vehicle.
- Figures 2, 3 and 4 show an example of a control device with haptic feedback 20 comprising a detection module 21 an array of transducers 22.
- the detection module 21 is a camera.
- the camera 21 is placed on the central console.
- the camera is disposed at the end of a space acting as an armrest, so that the user's hand, using the armrest, is disposed in the detection area of the camera.
- the camera can be any type of camera, including cameras sensitive on the visible spectrum or, more generally, with improved sensitivity to a confined wavelength band (for example, infrared (IR) bands or ultraviolet); capable of capturing an image of an object and representing that image as digital data.
- a confined wavelength band for example, infrared (IR) bands or ultraviolet
- Camera 21 is preferably capable of capturing video images. For example, to capture the movement of the user's hand otherwise in a stationary position, in a volume of interest located near the transducer array 22.
- the camera 21 is a Leap Motion controller arranged to provide 3D coordinates of the surface of the hand, in particular of the fingertips and of the palm of the user.
- the camera makes it possible to image the object to be detected and to know its depth either with a TOF (Time of Flight) camera, or a stereo camera, or a conventional camera but with an adapted algorithm.
- TOF Time of Flight
- the detection module can also be a radar system, an infrared system or a system based on projected capacitive.
- the array of transducers 22 is integrated into the body 23 of the central console.
- the array of transducers 22 is covered with a material allowing ultrasonic waves to pass, for example a fabric 26, intended to mask said array of transducers 12 from the view of users.
- Said transducer array 22 is arranged such that pressure patterns can be transmitted (through tissue 26, if any) to a region above said array 22.
- the transducers are positioned contiguously in order to minimize the size of the array of transducers 22.
- the central console 13 has a concave shape at the level of the array of transducers 22.
- the array of transducers 22 comprises at least two parts 22.1, 22.2. Each of the parts comprising a main plane in which the transducers are located.
- the concavity of the central console being formed by the main planes of the two (or more) parts 22.1, 22.2 of the array of transducers.
- the central console 23 is designed so that the passengers can put their arm down and act with their hand easily with the control device.
- the separation of the array of transducers 22 into several parts makes it possible to reduce the bulk by facilitating the integration of the array into the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
- the main planes of the two parts 22.1, 22.2 of the array of transducers 22 form an angle ⁇ between 120 and 175 degrees for example 145.
- the two parts 22.1, 22.2 of the array of transducers 22 are distributed on the console symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry P of the console.
- the haptic feedback system can comprise a control unit 24.
- the control unit 24 can be arranged to control the transducer in order to produce ultrasound.
- the control unit can be arranged to send control signals to the control unit 24.
- the fabric is chosen from a material allowing the ultrasound produced by the transducers to circulate.
- the fabric 26 is held on the console by means of a frame 25 secured to the body of the console 23.
- the transducers are adjusted so as to take into account the fabric for the. generation of haptic feedback.
- the device also comprises a protection element 27, positioned above the camera 21 intended to protect said camera.
- the protective element 27 is chosen from a material that passes the wavelengths to which the camera 21 is sensitive.
- a user interacts with visual information displayed on the screen 12.
- the movement and position of the user's hand 26 is tracked by the camera 21.
- the camera 21 is a Leap Motion controller arranged to provide the 3D coordinates of the entire surface of the geometry of the hand, in particular of the fingertips and of the palm of the user.
- the system 10 is controlled by a computer (not shown), which sends control data to the screen 12, receives user data from the camera 21 and controls the control unit 24 to control the array of transducers 22.
- the computer controls the control unit 24 such that a pressure pattern is created in the region above the transducer array 22.
- the computer can control the pressure.
- control unit 24 to cause the array of transducers 22 to modify the pressure model formed above said array of transducers 22.
