Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>

La présente invention concerne un système de communication entre un élément communicant personnel et un véhicule. Un élément communicant personnel est par exemple un téléphone portable, un PDA etc... Le véhicule peut, quant à lui, être un véhicule automobile, un avion, un train, etc... Plus particulièrement un tel système comporte une interface de communication intégrée dans le véhicule lors de sa fabrication (première monte).  The present invention relates to a communication system between a personal communicating element and a vehicle. A personal communicating element is for example a mobile phone, a PDA, etc. The vehicle can, for its part, be a motor vehicle, an airplane, a train, etc. More particularly, such a system includes a communication interface. integrated into the vehicle during its manufacture (original equipment).

Il est déjà connu W09857434 (SIEMENS AG) des kits mains libres de connexion entre un téléphone mobile et un véhicule automobile. De tels kits comportent tout d'abord un support pour le téléphone portable, puis une liaison vers un calculateur électronique (propre au kit) lui-même relié, par exemple, à un haut-parleur (par exemple celui de l'auto radio) et à un microphone, parfois même à un dispositif d'affichage. L'utilisateur peut ainsi utiliser son téléphone portable à l'intérieur d'un véhicule en mettant à profit l'écran d'affichage de l'auto radio et/ou le haut-parleur de l'auto radio. La commande des fonctions téléphoniques est réalisée soit par le téléphone lui-même, soit par un satellite de commande faisant partie du kit mains libres.  W09857434 (SIEMENS AG) is already known for hands-free kits for connection between a mobile telephone and a motor vehicle. Such kits firstly include a support for the mobile phone, then a link to an electronic computer (specific to the kit) itself connected, for example, to a speaker (for example that of the car radio) and a microphone, sometimes even a display device. The user can thus use his mobile phone inside a vehicle by taking advantage of the display screen of the car radio and / or the speaker of the car radio. The telephone functions are controlled either by the telephone itself, or by a control satellite that is part of the hands-free kit.

L'inconvénient d'un tel système réside dans le mode de commande de la fonction téléphone.  The disadvantage of such a system lies in the mode of control of the telephone function.

En effet, que cette commande s'effectue par le téléphone portable ou par un satellite dédié à la fonction téléphone, elle nécessite que le conducteur manipule des boutons, touches, etc... placées relativement loin de lui. De ce fait la sécurité d'utilisation de ces commandes n'est pas optimum, car elle détourne l'attention du conducteur de la conduite du véhicule à proprement parlé.  Indeed, whether this command is carried out by the mobile telephone or by a satellite dedicated to the telephone function, it requires that the driver manipulates buttons, keys, etc., placed relatively far from him. Therefore the safety of use of these controls is not optimum, as it diverts the driver's attention from driving the vehicle itself.

Le but de la présente invention est de sécuriser l'utilisation du téléphone portable dans un véhicule en proposant au conducteur des moyens de commande du téléphone n'impliquant pas un détournement de l'attention du conducteur de sa fonction prioritaire de conduite du véhicule.  The object of the present invention is to secure the use of the portable telephone in a vehicle by providing the driver with means for controlling the telephone which does not involve diverting the driver's attention from his priority function of driving the vehicle.

A cet effet la présente invention concerne un système de communication entre un élément communicant personnel (11) et un véhicule (12) du type comportant : - un support universel (13) muni de moyens de connexion à l'élément communicant et d'un moyen de liaison (14), le dit support étant mis en place dans le véhicule, - une interface de communication (15) connectée au dit support par le moyen de liaison, adaptée pour traiter l'ensemble des signaux reçus de l'élément communicant,  To this end, the present invention relates to a communication system between a personal communicating element (11) and a vehicle (12) of the type comprising: - a universal support (13) provided with means of connection to the communicating element and of a connection means (14), the said support being placed in the vehicle, - a communication interface (15) connected to the said support by the connection means, suitable for processing all the signals received from the communicating element ,

<Desc/Clms Page number 2><Desc / Clms Page number 2>

le dit système (10) étant caractérisé en ce que l'interface de communication (15) est connectée directement à un bus de communication (19) et en ce que les organes de commandes et de visualisation de l'élément communicant sont les organes de commandes (23) et de visualisation du véhicule.  said system (10) being characterized in that the communication interface (15) is directly connected to a communication bus (19) and in that the control and display members of the communicating element are the vehicle controls (23) and display.

Grâce à ces dispositions, l'utilisation des organes de commande et de visualisation de l'élément comunicant s'effectue en toute sécurité, puisqu'il s'agit des organes de commandes classiques du véhicule. En outre ces organes de commandes et de visualisation sont déjà présents dans le véhicule. Il n'est donc pas nécessaire d'ajouter des organes supplémentaires pour la gestion de l'élément communicant.  Thanks to these provisions, the use of the control and display members of the communicating element is carried out in complete safety, since they are conventional control members of the vehicle. In addition, these control and display members are already present in the vehicle. It is therefore not necessary to add additional bodies for the management of the communicating element.

Avantageusement, les organes de commande de l'élément communicant sont les organes de commande sous volant du véhicule.  Advantageously, the control elements of the communicating element are the control elements under the steering wheel of the vehicle.

Ceci permet d'améliorer encore la sécurité d'utilisation de la fonction téléphone, car les commandes sous volant sont à proximité immédiate du conducteur et ne requièrent pas une attention soutenue de la part du conducteur.  This further improves the safety of using the telephone function, since the steering wheel controls are in the immediate vicinity of the driver and do not require sustained attention from the driver.

D'autres objets, caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront d'ailleurs de la description qui suit, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence à la figure 1 annexée représentant l'architecture électronique d'un système de communication selon la présente invention.  Other objects, characteristics and advantages of the present invention will also emerge from the description which follows, by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the appended FIG. 1 representing the electronic architecture of a communication system according to the present invention.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 1, le système de communication 10 selon la présente invention permet d'établir une communication entre un élément communicant (ici un téléphone portable) 11 et un véhicule (dans le cas représenté un véhicule automobile) 12. A cet effet, le téléphone portable est placé dans le véhicule, dans un support universel approprié 13 de type connu. Ce support comporte, de manière connue, un connecteur auquel le téléphone portable est relié. Il est adapté pour recevoir n'impôrte quel type de téléphone portable. En effet un adapateur approprié réalise l'interconnexion de ce téléphone portable au support. Quel que soit l'élément communicant utilisé, il existe un adaptateur approprié, c'est pourquoi le support est dit suport universel.  According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 10 according to the present invention makes it possible to establish communication between a communicating element (here a mobile telephone) 11 and a vehicle (in the case shown a motor vehicle) 12 To this end, the portable telephone is placed in the vehicle, in an appropriate universal support 13 of known type. This support comprises, in known manner, a connector to which the portable telephone is connected. It is suitable for receiving any type of mobile phone. Indeed, an appropriate adapter interconnects this mobile phone to the support. Whatever the communicating element used, there is an appropriate adapter, which is why the support is said to be universal support.

Ce support universel permet également de recharger le portable dés que celui-ci est interconnecté au support. De ce fait dés que le portable est interconnecté avec le support il est opérationel.  This universal support can also charge the laptop as soon as it is interconnected with the support. Therefore as soon as the laptop is interconnected with the support it is operational.

Ce support universel 13 est capable de reconnaître le type d'élément communicant avec lequel il est interconnecté et dans ce cas donne accès à des fonctions spécifiques selon le type d'élément communicant. Bien sûr tout ceci est réalisé de manière transparente pour l'utilisateur.  This universal support 13 is capable of recognizing the type of communicating element with which it is interconnected and in this case gives access to specific functions according to the type of communicating element. Of course all of this is done transparently to the user.

Le support universel 13 est muni par ailleurs d'un moyen de liaison (dans l'exemple représenté c'est un câble de liaison) 14 connecté à une interface  The universal support 13 is also provided with a connection means (in the example shown it is a connection cable) 14 connected to an interface

de communication 15, montée par exemple dans l'accoudoir ou la boîte à gants du véhicule.  communication 15, mounted for example in the armrest or the glove compartment of the vehicle.

En variante, cette interface peut également être intégrée à un calculateur électronique 20 présent dans le véhicule ou dans un de ses accessoires (exemple : dans l'auto radio).  As a variant, this interface can also be integrated into an electronic computer 20 present in the vehicle or in one of its accessories (example: in the car radio).

En variante le moyen de liaison peut être une liaison radio fréquence à distance (exemple il est possible d'utiliser la norme de communication à distance blue tooth )
L'interface de communication reçoit des signaux normalisés en provenance du téléphone mobile 11 et les traite 15a en les dirigeant vers les modules de traitement appropriés soit dans l'interface (comme un module de reconnaissance vocale 16), soit à l'extérieur de cette interface (comme un microphone 24, ou un haut-parleur 17, etc...) en utilisant une interface de connexion 15b série IVAN (Vehicle Area Network)/CAN/un bus MOST/J1850 d'un calculateur électronique d'habitacle 20. As a variant, the link means can be a radio frequency remote link (example it is possible to use the blue tooth remote communication standard)
The communication interface receives standardized signals from the mobile telephone 11 and processes them 15a by directing them to the appropriate processing modules either in the interface (such as a voice recognition module 16), or outside this interface. interface (such as a microphone 24, or a speaker 17, etc.) using a connection interface 15b IVAN (Vehicle Area Network) / CAN series / a MOST / J1850 bus of an electronic cabin computer 20 .

De même l'interface de communication 15 échange des données de commandes et de visualisation à travers un bus de communication 19 et un écran d'affichage 21 du véhicule. Cet écran d'affichage 21, permet également d'afficher toute information utile, comme par exemple, le nom des stations radio captées, leur fréquence, l'itinéraire proposé par un dispositif de navigation 22, l'assistance proposé par un dispositif de localisation, des informations données par le calculateur habitacle 20 comme la vitesse de déplacement du véhicule, sa consommation de carburant, toutes information en provenance d'un ordinateur de bord, etc...  Likewise, the communication interface 15 exchanges control and display data through a communication bus 19 and a display screen 21 of the vehicle. This display screen 21 also makes it possible to display any useful information, such as, for example, the name of the radio stations received, their frequency, the route offered by a navigation device 22, the assistance offered by a location device. , information given by the passenger compartment computer 20 such as the speed of movement of the vehicle, its fuel consumption, all information from an on-board computer, etc.

Selon la présente invention c'est cet écran 21 qui affiche toutes les informations utiles à la fonction téléphone (affichage de numéros, réglages du téléphone (sonnerie, tonalité etc...)).  According to the present invention it is this screen 21 which displays all the information useful for the telephone function (display of numbers, telephone settings (ringtone, tone, etc.)).

Pour commander le téléphone portable (prise de ligne, raccroché, messagerie etc...), on utilise directement les organes de commandes du véhicule, par exemple les commandes sous volant 23. Ainsi par exemple l'appel d'un numéro téléphonique déterminé est réalisé en utilisant les manettes situées sous volant (voire avec les manettes situées sur le volant lui-même). Il est possible bien sûr d'appeler un numéro spécifique ou de sélectionner un numéro dans un répertoire.  To control the mobile telephone (line seizure, on-hook, messaging, etc.), the vehicle's control members are used directly, for example the controls under the steering wheel 23. Thus, for example, calling a determined telephone number is made using the levers located under the steering wheel (or even with the levers located on the steering wheel itself). It is of course possible to call a specific number or to select a number from a directory.

Cette utilisation des commandes sous volant est rendue possible par le fait que l'interface de communication 15 est en liaison directe avec le bus 19 de communication du véhicule.  This use of the steering wheel controls is made possible by the fact that the communication interface 15 is in direct connection with the vehicle communication bus 19.

Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit, et englobe toute variante à la portée de l'homme de l'art. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described, and encompasses any variant within the reach of ordinary skill in the art.
