DESCRIPTION

INTERCOM-EXTERIOR INTERCOM FOR VEHICLES

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to an intercom or intercom integrated into vehicles to facilitate communication between the interior and exterior of these, without the need to lower the window.

In certain situations, a communication flow is required between the driver and / or passengers of the vehicle with someone from outside, for example, for the request of documentation by the traffic authorities or police in general, consultation of a pedestrian or towards a pedestrian, etc.

Thanks to the intercom of the present invention, this type of action can be carried out without having to lower the window which, although in most cases it does not pose any risk or danger, there are other situations in which we expose ourselves to a situation of attack, theft, intimidation or similar that we can avoid, which provides great security to the driver and other passengers of the vehicle.

It is not only a question of physical tranquility, but, from the point of view of health, we avoid the most direct contact with anyone from abroad, eliminating the chances of catching any disease, especially in times of pandemic.

As it is a very simple and easy system to implement in vehicles, together with the aforementioned health and safety advantages, they make a vehicle that has it an important attraction, which could mean the difference between choosing one vehicle or another.

The industrial application of this invention is found within the manufacture of communication equipment and devices, and more specifically, intercoms for the interior-exterior of vehicles.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although no invention identical to that described has been found, we present below the documents found that reflect the state of the art related thereto.

Thus, document ES2400712T3 proposes a safe automatic closing procedure for a motor vehicle gate equipped with at least one sensor for the presence of an element, particularly an individual, in a detection zone, said detection zone having at least one detection zone. shadow, said procedure comprising the step of conditioning the automatic closing operation of the vehicle's gate to the performance of the following different operations: - receiving an automatic closing order for the vehicle's trunk; - from the receipt of the automatic order to automatically close the trunk of the vehicle, activate a first countdown of a first duration; - detect the presence of an element in the detection zone; - detecting an exit of said element outside the detection zone; than the supplementary stage: - if no element is detected in the detection zone at the end of the first countdown, cancel the automatic closing operation of the vehicle's gate. It is, therefore, a procedure, but it is also aimed at the automatic closing of the vehicle's gate, so it is not closely related to any interior-exterior communication device of the vehicle as proposed by the main invention.

Document ES1071699U describes a device for remotely activating vehicle doors, with an open / closed position indicator, comprising: - A battery-operated push button key; - Some pushbuttons emitting and emitting a signal; - A receiver-transmitter located in a vehicle that emits a signal towards the key; - A provocative lighting pushbutton; - A light indicator of open doors; y A closed door light indicator and because the light indicators and retain the information received for later consultation. This mentioned utility model also makes reference to the control and operation of vehicle doors, like the previous document, and once again no intercom element is mentioned as the one proposed by the main invention.

ES2242569T3 claims a window system suitable for use in a vehicle, the system including a window, a motorized drive means that is arranged in use to move said window, and a guide means that is arranged in use to guide a movement of said window. window along a substantially predetermined path, and said actuation means comprise a piezo-actuation actuator, said guiding means includes a channel portion, said piezo-actuation actuator including at least one internal piezo-actuation element that operates according to a reciprocal piezoelectric effect substantially within said channel portion. This invention is closer to that proposed by the invention, insofar as it refers to the window system that it tries to avoid using, but it does not refer to any intercom communication system between the interior and exterior of the vehicle.

Conclusions: As can be seen from the research carried out, none of the documents found solves the problems posed as the proposed invention does.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The interior-exterior intercom for vehicles that is the object of the present invention is made up of equipment with means for capturing and transmitting audio placed outside the vehicle, connected to the vehicle's own audio system, and controlled from control means on the driver's dashboard or steering wheel.

In those vehicles that do not have a voice communication system, the interior-exterior intercom for vehicles that is the object of the present invention incorporates an interior unit, with a controller, speaker and microphone connected to the exterior equipment described above.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For a better understanding of the present description, some drawings are attached that represent a preferred embodiment of the present invention: Figure 1: Schematic view of an interior-exterior intercom model for vehicles object of the present invention, for vehicles with the integrated voice audio system.

3. Vehicle audio system

4. Means of control

5. Indoor equipment

6. Wireless connection means

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A preferred embodiment of the interior-exterior intercom for vehicles that is the object of the present invention, with reference to numerical references, can be based on equipment with capture means (1), microphone, and audio emission (2), speaker, placed in the exterior of the vehicle, for example, inside the rear-view mirror on the driver's side, connected to the latter's own audio system (3), and controlled from control means (4) on the driver's panel or steering wheel.

In a different embodiment, for those vehicles that do not have a voice communication system, an interior equipment (5) is incorporated, with a controller, speaker and microphone connected to the exterior equipment.

In another different embodiment, the interior-exterior intercom for vehicles object of the present invention allows communication between two vehicles that incorporate it, from wireless connection means (6) via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or similar.

Claims (3)
