Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle input device used to control the operation of various electric components mounted on a vehicle, and more particularly to a vehicle input device for improving operability during driving. Related to the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Power windows,
Many electric components such as a remote control mirror, a wiper, and a fog lamp are mounted, and switches for controlling these electric components are individually arranged within a reach of a driver. Switches such as wipers, direction indicators, and headlights are arranged at almost the same position in any type of automobile, and are a combination switch in which a plurality of functions are integrated. Further, switches such as a power window, a remote control door mirror, and a door lock are arranged at positions with relatively high visibility near the door or the shift knob. However, switches for devices that are often installed after selecting options such as fog lamps are often arranged below the combination meter, for example, behind a steering wheel, and the visibility is poor and the operability is not necessarily good. Absent.

[0003] As described above, the range in which visibility from the driver's seat is good and the range in which the switch can be easily reached for switch operation are limited. It is also expected that there will be no space for arranging switches.

In order to solve this problem, there has been proposed a device in which individual control switches are integrated, arranged at a position where the driver can easily operate and safety is secured, and individual electric components can be freely controlled. (Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-9304). FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing an input device described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-9304. In the conventional input device described in this publication, a changeover switch group 33 including a radio mode changeover switch 33a, a CD / cassette mode changeover switch 33b, and an air conditioner mode changeover switch 33c is provided in a steering pad 31 of an automobile, and a liquid crystal display device. 32 and a transparent electrode switch 34 are provided. The transparent electrode switch 34 is provided on the liquid crystal display device 32. Further, the liquid crystal display device 32 has a multilayer liquid crystal display 35 incorporated therein, and a mode change switch 33.
The display screen is changed by selecting a, 33b or 33c. FIG. 11 shows a display screen when the air conditioner mode changeover switch 33c is selected.
The liquid crystal display device 32 is connected to a bidirectional transmission / reception circuit, and performs multiplex communication with the bidirectional transmission / reception circuit on the vehicle body side. Then, the operation of each electrical component is controlled by the control target circuit on the body side. As a result, the visibility of the switch that had been mounted at a position where visibility was poor was improved.

[0005] In addition, in the operation control of various electric components by the conventional switches, it is necessary to select and operate necessary switches from a large number of operation switches, so that the burden on the driver is large. For this reason, some skill is required to perform the operation, and it is difficult for anyone to use it easily, and in many cases, the functions of these electrical components are not effectively used.

In order to solve this problem, there has been proposed a device which performs switch input by voice recognition (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-78634). FIG.
It is a block diagram showing the input device described in 78634 gazette. In the conventional input device described in this publication, a centralized control unit 41 is composed of an analog interface 41a, a voice recognition circuit 41b, a CPU 41c, and a communication interface 41d which are connected in series in this order. A microphone 42 is connected to the analog interface 41a. Further, a multiplex signal line 44 is connected to the communication interface 41d via a connector 43. The multiplex signal line 44 is connected to the door lock control unit 45a, the power window control unit 45b, the wiper control unit 45c, the air conditioner control unit 45d, and the telephone. Control units such as a control unit 45e, an audio control unit 45f, a tilt / telescopic control unit 45g, a power seat control unit 45h, a mirror control unit 45i, and a shift lever control unit 45j are connected via connectors 46a to 46j. These control units 45a to 45j control each electrical component.

In the conventional input device configured as described above, the sound input from the microphone 42 is converted into a multiplexed signal in the central control unit 41, and the central control unit 41 transmits the multiplexed signal to each of the control units 45a to 45.
j. Then, the control units 45a to 45
The operation of a predetermined electrical component is controlled by j.

[0008]

However, there is a problem that sufficient operability and expandability cannot be obtained even with the input device described above. For example, Japanese Patent Publication 5-9304
In the input device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. H10-209, even if the operation can be achieved by a single operation with the individual switches up to that time, it is necessary to operate the mode changeover switches 33a to 33c and the transparent electrode switch 34, so that the operation is doubled. The number of operations and the operation time are required. For this reason, the operation is complicated and the operability is reduced. In addition, since blind touch cannot be performed, there is a concern that the time to keep an eye on the front while driving is increased. Further, for example, in order to check the state of the switch on the audio screen while the air conditioner screen is displayed, it is necessary to switch to the audio screen again, and the confirmation of the operation state is low. And, since the mode changeover switch group 33 is attached to the steering pad 31 as an individual dedicated switch, it is necessary to change the mode changeover switch to a special mode changeover switch separately for each destination of a different language or when adding a new electrical component. Alternatively, a mode changeover switch needs to be added, and the expandability is low.

On the other hand, in the input device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-78634, only voice input is employed. At least one voice command is required.
For this reason, for example, when a plurality of operations are required, such as when a door mirror is opened and closed, a plurality of operations such as "door mirror open" and "door mirror close" are performed on a door mirror which is a kind of electrical component. Voice commands are required. Furthermore, in the case of a device in which the driving in the up, down, left, and right directions is continuously performed in an analog manner, it is necessary to control the driving amount or the driving time of the device by adding the same to the voice command. In the case of one type of electrical equipment, more than ten items of voice commands are required, and considerable skill is required before the user can learn the commands. In particular, the more detailed the control is, the longer the voice command becomes, and the operation time becomes longer as compared with the conventional system in which the drive is performed only while the switch is being pressed.

The current technical level of speech recognition is about 90% when the vehicle is running at a speed of about 100 km / h with the windows closed, and 70% when the windows are open.
The degree of correct recognition is low, and the electrical components may malfunction due to erroneous recognition. In addition, there is a case where the apparatus reacts to a voice emitted by a passenger such as an in-vehicle radio or a passenger sitting in a passenger seat, and there is a possibility that an operation of the device that the driver does not expect may occur.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can reduce malfunctions during driving of a car, improve operability and safety, and improve future expandability. It is an object of the present invention to provide an input device for a vehicle that can be caused to cause an input.

If the data received by the first control circuit 1 is correct, the driver is informed by voice that the rear defogger has stopped from the speaker. For example, voice guidance "Rear differential off" is performed. At the same time, the “R.DEF” icon 21a is normally displayed,
The display indicating that the rear defogger is on in the operation display section 21j disappears. In this case, when there is another operating electrical component, the operation status is displayed. When there is no other operating electrical component, as shown in FIG. It is displayed that there is.

Thus, the rear defogger is turned off.

If it is desired to stop the operation of the rear defogger before the time specified by the timer has elapsed, it is possible to stop the operation by manual operation. The operation procedure in this case is as follows.

First, an arbitrary position in the large item screen 21 of the input / action display unit 11 is touched with a first touch force.
Then, the on / off state of the switch of the icon corresponding to the position touched by the first control circuit 1 is determined, and the name of the corresponding switch and the content to be operated from now on (whether to be on or off) ) Is guided by voice. Here, if the switch name of the voice guidance is not the switch that the driver is trying to operate, for example, if it is guidance relating to the wiper de-isa, the position is moved while touching the screen, and the switch name that is being operated Keeps moving at the position touched until is announced.

When the "R. DEF" icon 21a is touched with a first touch force, the first control circuit 1 uses the "R. DEF" icon 21a based on the current display screen information and the contact position detection information.
The first control circuit 1 recognizes that the "21.DEF" icon 21a has been touched, and "R.DEF"
The driver is notified by voice that the icon 21a is being touched. For example, a voice guidance “Rear differential off is being selected” is performed.

Thus, the driver can confirm by voice that the icon he is currently touching is the "R.DEF" icon 21a, and if the driver wants to turn off the rear defogger, the icon 21a is displayed. Double-click.

When the "R.DEF" icon 21a is double-clicked, the first control circuit 1 recognizes that the rear defogger switch has been turned off.

Next, the first control circuit 1 outputs the OFF information of the rear defogger via the multiplex communication line 3 to the second control circuit 2

As described above, in this embodiment, switching from the large item screen 21 to the power window detail screen 22, the door mirror detail screen 23 or the sunroof detail screen 24 can be performed by voice recognition. There is no need for a fixed mode switching switch dedicated to screen switching. For this reason, when corresponding to different destinations or languages, only the software needs to be changed, and it is also possible to change or add switches. Also,
Switching by voice recognition is only between the large item screen and the first detail screen, between the large item screen and the second detail screen, and between the first detail screen and the second detail screen. , The number of required voice commands can be one command per screen (such as “window”, “mirror”, “sunroof” or “return”). Therefore, operability is significantly improved. Furthermore,
Since the input of the final operation command is performed not by voice but by touching the screen, malfunction due to misidentification and malfunction due to utterance of a passenger other than the driver are prevented, and safety is improved.

Further, since the type of the touched icon is guided by voice, a blind touch can be made, and the switch can be turned on / off without keeping an eye on the front, thereby increasing safety. improves.

Further, since the screen is switched from the large item screen 1 to each of the detailed screens 22, 23 or 24 by voice recognition, the number of manual operations is one, and the operability is improved. In addition, in switching from the large item screen to the second detailed screen, it is not necessary to manually select a switch, so that operability is further improved.

Furthermore, two types of screens, namely a large item screen 21 and detailed screens 22 to 24, are set on the display screen, and priorities are set. More specifically, even when the detailed screen 22, 23 or 24 is displayed, a certain level is set. When there is no time switch input, the display is switched to the large item screen display, and while the large item screen 21 is being displayed, the operation state of all the electrical components can be confirmed by the "INFORMATION SELECT" icon 21k. In addition, the operating state of each electrical component can be easily confirmed. Similarly, priorities are set for the second detailed screen, and even if the switch input is not performed for a certain period of time even during the display of the second detailed screen, the screen is switched to the large item screen, whereby the operation state is changed. Can be easily confirmed.

Note that the switch input can be determined by the following method.

For example, there is a method of determining a switch input by releasing a hand at a position where voice guidance of a switch desired to operate is given.

Further, at a position where the voice guidance of the switch desired to operate is provided, the switch input may be determined by keeping touching the position for a certain period of time.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the operation confirmation information transmitted from the second control circuit 2 is received by the first control circuit 1, the switch icon is switched between the normal display and the reverse display. Although configured, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the configuration may be such that the normal display and the reverse display of the switch icon are switched when the input of the switch is determined. Also,
The switch icon may be configured to blink when the input of the switch is confirmed, and to switch between the normal display and the reverse display of the switch icon when the operation check information is received by the first control circuit 1. .

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the input / operation display unit 11 dedicated to the input device is used. However, the input / operation display unit 11 is mainly used for displaying the map and the position of the vehicle. A touch panel may be provided to integrate the functions of the first control circuit 11 so that a single device may serve as both the car navigation system and the vehicle input / output device of the present invention.

Further, the touch panel and the display device may be separated. In this case, the display device is preferably arranged in the meter panel together with other instruments. This makes it easy to recognize the screen of the display device. The touch panel is attached to, for example, a steering wheel. In addition, it is also possible to use a membrane switch instead of a touch panel.

[0124]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention,
When a switch is selected from a plurality of switches displayed on the touch panel display, the first voice guidance unit guides what switch the switch is,
When the selection of the switch is determined, the state of the device whose on / off state is switched by the switch is guided by the second voice guidance means. For this reason, it is possible to perform an operation by a blind touch, and it is possible to reduce a risk of a malfunction while driving a car and a risk of keeping an eye on the front. Also, since there is less manual input,
Operability is improved. Further, since a dedicated mode changeover switch is not required, future expandability is high. Further, when the second detailed screen is displayed, the electrical component can be controlled with any of the plurality of switches.
Since a manual switch selection operation is not required, operability is further improved, and erroneous operation due to switch selection error can be reduced.
