Description

  The present invention relates to a control system for an in-vehicle device that controls a plurality of in-vehicle devices in accordance with a situation where the vehicle is placed.

Conventionally, the system of patent document 1 is known as a control system of a vehicle-mounted apparatus.
In this system, for example, when tunnel information is obtained from a navigation system, lights are turned on, windows and sunroofs are closed, an air conditioner is switched to inside air, and audio is switched to radio traffic information. Further, when the wiper is used, the wiper is stopped or switched to the intermittent operation, and after passing through the tunnel, each vehicle-mounted device is returned to the original state.

  As another example, when toll gate information is obtained from the navigation device, the driver side window is opened, the other windows and the sunroof are closed, and the audio volume is reduced, or the gasoline volume is controlled from the navigation device. When the station information is obtained and the vehicle is stopped at the gas station, control such as opening the driver's seat window, opening the filler port, and resetting the trip meter is performed.

  In the system described in Patent Document 1, when the driver is notified of the above-described control content and an answer to permit the control is obtained from the driver, the control is executed to reflect the driver's intention. You can control it.

JP 2000-127869 A

  In the control system described above, trigger information for performing control is detected by detection means such as a navigation system, and the control unit determines the control content based on the detected trigger information.

  However, for example, in a gas station, there are a full-service store that receives a service such as refueling by a store clerk, and a self-service store where a vehicle occupant himself refuels. Such distinction between full service and self-service cannot be detected by the detection means mounted on the vehicle. For this reason, even though the vehicle occupant uses a self-service gas station, an unnecessary control proposal such as opening the driver's seat side window may be made, and the vehicle occupant may be bothered on the contrary. There is sex.

  In addition, when it is determined that the windshield of the vehicle has become cloudy based on the humidity in the passenger compartment and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle, control is performed to activate the defroster of the air conditioner installed in the vehicle. Even if it is not considered that the windshield is completely fogged from the detection values detected by the various sensors, the fogging may actually occur due to various disturbance factors. In such a case, since the trigger information for performing control by the vehicle detection means is not detected, the defroster is not controlled, and the vehicle occupant cannot receive the service of defrosting the windshield.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described points, and an object of the present invention is to provide an in-vehicle device control system capable of proposing services by a more appropriate in-vehicle device in a situation where the vehicle is placed. And

In order to achieve the above object, a control system for an in-vehicle device according to claim 1,
A plurality of in-vehicle devices mounted on the vehicle;
An acquisition means for acquiring information about a situation in which the vehicle is placed;
Detecting means for detecting the behavior of a vehicle occupant;
Inferring the vehicle-mounted device to be controlled from the situation where the vehicle is placed, and taking into account the behavior of the occupant, the determining device for determining the vehicle-mounted device to be controlled and its control content
An in-vehicle device that is determined to be controlled by the determining unit and a notification unit that notifies a vehicle occupant of the control content;
A control means for controlling the in-vehicle device according to the determination by the determination means when a response of the passenger to permit the control is obtained in response to the notification by the notification means,
The determination means cannot be obtained by the acquisition means, which is necessary for determining the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content when the in-vehicle device to be controlled is estimated from the situation where the vehicle is placed. In-vehicle device that should be controlled based on the behavior of the occupant when the vehicle is inquired about the lack of information about the situation where the vehicle is placed or the control content, and the response to the inquiry is obtained from the behavior of the occupant, and its control content It is characterized by determining.

  As described above, in claim 1, the vehicle has detection means for detecting the behavior of the vehicle occupant. Therefore, information that cannot be acquired by a detection means such as a sensor mounted on the vehicle can be detected from the behavior of the passenger. Then, by determining the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content based on the behavior of the occupant, the service by the in-vehicle device is proposed to the occupant of the vehicle in a situation where the vehicle is placed. Is possible.

  For example, when it is detected that a vehicle is refueling at a gas station, information that cannot be detected by an in-vehicle sensor or the like may be obtained from the passenger by inquiring the passenger whether the gas station is a full-service store or a self-service store. it can. And in a gas station, it becomes possible to provide the service by a more suitable vehicle-mounted apparatus by changing the vehicle-mounted apparatus which should be controlled, and the control content according to the difference between full service or self-service.

  Further, for example, when the vehicle has a constant speed traveling device (including a preceding vehicle following type constant speed traveling device), when the navigation system detects that the vehicle has started traveling on a highway, the constant speed traveling is performed. The device can be estimated as an on-vehicle device to be controlled. Then, the vehicle occupant is inquired about a desired speed for running the vehicle at a constant speed, and when an answer is obtained, the vehicle is run at the desired speed at the desired speed. Thus, by obtaining the speed desired by the occupant when the vehicle is traveling at a constant speed from the behavior of the occupant, more appropriate control can be performed using the constant speed traveling device.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the situation where the vehicle is placed, the vehicle-mounted device controlled by the control means and the storage means for storing the control history of the control contents are provided, and the determining means is the situation where the vehicle is placed In the same situation as in the case where the controlled in-vehicle device and the control history of the control content are stored in the storage means, the in-vehicle device to be controlled based on the control history without making an inquiry to the vehicle occupant and The control content may be determined.

  For example, if a control history is stored for a certain gas station, information on whether the gas station is a full-service store or a self-service store has already been acquired from the vehicle occupant, The storage means stores the in-vehicle device controlled according to the acquired information and the control content. Also, for example, when a vehicle has started traveling on an expressway that has traveled in the past, and a control history when traveling on the same expressway in the past is stored, an occupant when traveling the vehicle at a constant speed The desired vehicle speed is determined from the control history. Therefore, in such a case, it is possible to acquire information necessary for controlling the in-vehicle device from the control history stored in the storage means without making an inquiry to the vehicle occupant.

The control system for an in-vehicle device according to claim 3 is:
A plurality of in-vehicle devices mounted on the vehicle;
An acquisition means for acquiring information about a situation in which the vehicle is placed;
Detecting means for detecting the behavior of the vehicle occupant;
From the situation where the vehicle is placed, the in-vehicle device to be controlled is estimated, and the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content are determined in consideration of the behavior of the occupant,
An in-vehicle device that is determined to be controlled by the determining unit and a notification unit that notifies the occupant of the vehicle of the control content;
Control means for controlling the in-vehicle device according to the determination by the determination means when a response of the passenger to permit the control is obtained in response to the notification by the notification means;
The information related to the situation where the vehicle is placed includes environmental information related to the environment inside the vehicle, and the determining means indicates that the environmental information needs to control an in-vehicle device that controls the environment inside the vehicle. Vehicle condition that satisfies the above-mentioned condition or whether the second condition indicating that it is not necessary to control the vehicle-mounted device is satisfied, and if both the first and second conditions are not satisfied, Estimating the device as an in-vehicle device to be controlled and controlling the in-vehicle device that controls the in-vehicle environment based on the behavior of the occupant when the behavior of the occupant is desired to control the in-vehicle environment It is set as the vehicle equipment which should be determined, and the control content is determined.

  Thereby, even if the conditions for executing the control are not completely satisfied, it is possible to detect from the behavior of the occupant that the situation requiring the control has occurred. Then, by determining the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content based on the behavior of the occupant, the service by the in-vehicle device is proposed to the occupant of the vehicle in a situation where the vehicle is placed. Is possible.

  For example, when it is determined whether or not the windshield of the vehicle is fogged based on the humidity inside the vehicle interior and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle, it is determined that the fog is generated and control by the defroster of the air conditioner is necessary. And a second condition for determining that no fogging occurs and control by the defroster is unnecessary. Even if the humidity in the passenger compartment and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle do not satisfy both the first and second conditions, the defroster can be controlled because fogging may occur depending on various disturbance factors. Estimated as a target on-vehicle device. In such a situation, for example, when it is detected that the vehicle occupant speaks “the window is cloudy” or “the cloud is difficult to see”, or when the movement of the occupant wiping the window is detected, Control the defroster to remove the fog. Thus, even when the first condition for completely fogging the windshield is not satisfied, when detecting the behavior of the occupant who wants to defrost the window, the defroster is determined as the in-vehicle device to be controlled, Control of the in-vehicle device that controls the in-vehicle environment can be performed more appropriately.

  As described in claim 4, when the environmental information satisfies the first condition, the determining means is a vehicle-mounted device that controls the vehicle-mounted device that controls the environment in the vehicle, regardless of the behavior of the occupant. When determining the control content and satisfying the second condition, it is preferable to exclude the in-vehicle device that controls the in-vehicle environment from the in-vehicle device to be controlled regardless of the behavior of the passenger.

  In the above-described example, when the humidity difference in the vehicle interior and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle satisfy the first condition, the possibility of fogging in the window is greatly increased, so it is preferable to control the defroster. On the other hand, when the second condition is satisfied, the possibility of fogging in the window is very low. For this reason, by excluding the defroster from the in-vehicle device to be controlled, it is possible to prevent erroneous recognition of the occupant's utterance content and the like, and making unnecessary control proposals.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the in-vehicle environment of the vehicle, the vehicle-mounted device controlled by the control means and the storage means for storing the control history of the control content are provided, and the determination means is based on the control history. The condition may be updated to correspond to the in-vehicle environment when the control is performed. Accordingly, the first condition for executing the control can be updated so as to be suitable for the occupant's feeling and the usage situation.

A plurality of in-vehicle devices mounted on the vehicle;
An acquisition means for acquiring information about a situation in which the vehicle is placed;
Detecting means for detecting the behavior of the vehicle occupant;
From the situation where the vehicle is placed, the in-vehicle device to be controlled is estimated, and the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content are determined in consideration of the behavior of the occupant,
An in-vehicle device that is determined to be controlled by the determining unit and a notification unit that notifies the occupant of the vehicle of the control content;
Control means for controlling the in-vehicle device according to the determination by the determination means when a response of the passenger to permit the control is obtained in response to the notification by the notification means;
The information on the situation where the vehicle is placed includes operation information when an occupant of the vehicle performs an operation on the in-vehicle device,
The determining means estimates the in-vehicle device that performs operation guidance for the in-vehicle device that is operated by the occupant of the vehicle as the in-vehicle device to be controlled, and detects the behavior of the occupant indicating that the operation cannot be performed successfully Based on the behavior of the occupant, the in-vehicle device that performs operation guidance is the on-vehicle device to be controlled, and the control content is determined.

  In recent vehicles, various in-vehicle devices are made electronic, and the operation procedure is also complicated. For example, in a vehicle employing a push-type engine start button, when starting the engine, it is necessary to press the engine start button while depressing the brake pedal. Therefore, when the occupant of the vehicle is operating only the engine start button and detects the utterance that the occupant does not start, the occupant is likely not to know the operation procedure for starting the engine. Therefore, the operation guidance for starting the engine is presented. By doing so, the vehicle occupant can operate various on-vehicle devices without any trouble.

An in-vehicle device control system according to claim 7 is:
A plurality of in-vehicle devices mounted on the vehicle;
An acquisition means for acquiring information about a situation in which the vehicle is placed;
Detecting means for detecting the behavior of the vehicle occupant;
From the situation where the vehicle is placed, the in-vehicle device to be controlled is estimated, and the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content are determined in consideration of the behavior of the occupant,
An in-vehicle device that is determined to be controlled by the determining unit and a notification unit that notifies the occupant of the vehicle of the control content;
Control means for controlling the in-vehicle device according to the determination by the determination means when a response of the passenger to permit the control is obtained in response to the notification by the notification means;
Information about the situation where the vehicle is placed includes diagnostic information obtained from multiple in-vehicle devices,
When the diagnosing information is obtained from the in-vehicle device, the determining means estimates the in-vehicle device that makes a call to the call center as the in-vehicle device to be controlled, and when the behavior of the occupant indicating the failure is detected, Based on the behavior of the passenger, the in-vehicle device that performs a call to the call center is determined as the in-vehicle device to be controlled. As a result, even if any in-vehicle device of the vehicle breaks down, it can be expected that appropriate measures are taken with the assistance of the call center operator.

  As described in claim 8, it is preferable that the in-vehicle device that makes a call to the call center can perform data communication with the call center, and transmits vehicle information including diagnosis information to the call center. Thereby, the operator can recognize the failure state of a vehicle more correctly.

  Furthermore, as described in claim 9, whether or not transmission of personal information including at least one of a vehicle number, a name of a registrant registered as a vehicle user, a current position of the vehicle, and a travel route is determined. It is preferable to transmit vehicle information including personal information to the call center when a response is received from the passenger and the transmission is permitted. Such personal information is useful, for example, when the operator requests a trader to move the wrecker when the vehicle is unable to run on its own. However, since it is personal information, it is desirable to transmit it after obtaining the permission of the passenger.

  According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, when the notification means notifies the vehicle occupant of the in-vehicle device determined to be controlled and the control content, the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content are added from the occupant of the vehicle. When deletion is instructed, the control means corrects the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content to be added or deleted according to the addition or deletion instruction by the vehicle occupant, and the in-vehicle device and the control content after the correction Accordingly, it is preferable to control the in-vehicle device. As a result, the vehicle occupant can correct the in-vehicle device scheduled for execution and the control content so as to match his / her preference based on the in-vehicle device scheduled for execution and the control content.

It is a block diagram which shows the whole structure of the control system of the vehicle-mounted apparatus by embodiment. It is a sequence diagram of the fuel supply preparation control in a gas station as a 1st example of control by the control system of a vehicle-mounted apparatus. It is a flowchart of the fuel supply preparation control in a gas station. It is a flowchart which shows the detailed process of the control content determination / alerting | reporting step in FIG. It is explanatory drawing for demonstrating an example of learning data. It is a sequence diagram of the defrosting control when the window of the vehicle is clouded as a second control example by the control system of the in-vehicle device.

  Hereinafter, an in-vehicle device control system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram illustrating an overall configuration of an in-vehicle device control system according to an embodiment.

  In FIG. 1, a microphone 1 inputs the speech voice of a vehicle occupant and outputs the voice data as an electrical signal. The voice data output from the microphone 1 is input to the voice recognition unit 11 of the control device 10. The voice recognition unit 11 has a recognition dictionary (not shown), and recognizes individual words / phrases included in the voice data with reference to the recognition dictionary. The recognition result is input to the estimation unit 13.

  In the present embodiment, the control device 10 is connected so as to be able to communicate with the body system ECU 5, the travel system ECU 6, and the navigation ECU 7 via the in-vehicle LAN. That is, the control device 10 and the ECUs 5 to 7 are connected to each other via the in-vehicle LAN. And each ECU5-7 transmits the information regarding the condition where the vehicle was placed with respect to the control apparatus 10 regularly.

  The body system ECU 5 includes a fuel remaining amount sensor for detecting the remaining amount of fuel in the fuel tank, a humidity sensor for detecting the humidity in the vehicle interior, a vehicle interior and exterior temperature sensor for detecting the temperature inside and outside the vehicle, and the amount of solar radiation. Various sensors such as a solar radiation sensor are connected. The body system ECU 5 periodically transmits the detection results detected by these sensors to the control device 10 as information on the situation where the vehicle is placed.

  A vehicle speed sensor that detects the traveling speed of the vehicle is connected to the traveling system ECU 6. The traveling system ECU 6 periodically transmits the detection result by the vehicle speed sensor to the control device 10. In addition, the navigation ECU 7 periodically transmits to the control device 10 the vehicle position calculated using the GPS receiver, the vehicle speed sensor and the yaw rate sensor, and the road and neighboring facilities where the vehicle is traveling.

  The vehicle information input unit 12 of the control device 10 inputs information transmitted from each of the ECUs 5 to 7 described above and outputs the information to the estimation unit 13.

  The estimation unit 13 estimates the in-vehicle device to be controlled based on the information regarding the situation where the vehicle is input, which is input from the vehicle information input unit 12, and recognizes the voice data input from the voice recognition unit 11. Based on the result and stored learning data 14, the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content are determined. Note that the learning data 14 is a record of the controlled in-vehicle device and the control history of the control content for each scene indicating the situation where the vehicle is placed when the in-vehicle device is controlled.

  In the present embodiment, the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content thereof are determined based on the recognition result of the voice uttered by the vehicle occupant. Therefore, it detects from the occupant's utterance voice that information that cannot be acquired by sensors mounted on the vehicle, or the situation that requires control, even if the conditions for executing the control are not fully met. be able to. Therefore, it is possible to more appropriately determine the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content based on the voice of the passenger.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, based on the learning data 14, the vehicle-mounted apparatus which should be controlled and its control content may be determined. A vehicle occupant tends to desire to receive a service similar to a service previously provided by an in-vehicle device if the situation in which the vehicle is placed is the same. Therefore, also based on the learning data 14, the in-vehicle device to be controlled and its control content can be determined more appropriately.

  The determination result by the estimation unit 13 is given to the system control unit 15. The system control unit 15 instructs the voice / display control unit 16 to notify the vehicle occupant of the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content determined by the estimation unit 13. Based on this instruction, the voice / display control unit 16 outputs a voice indicating the control content of the control from the speaker 3. Further, the display 4 displays a list of in-vehicle devices to be controlled and the control contents in detail. Thus, the vehicle occupant can select an in-vehicle device that permits or does not permit control on the display screen of the display 4. For example, a touch panel is provided on the display 4 so that an in-vehicle device that permits or does not permit control can be specified by touching the screen, or control is permitted or not permitted by a cursor displayed on the display 4. It is possible to specify an in-vehicle device. In-vehicle devices that do not permit control are deleted from the group of in-vehicle devices to be controlled. Further, when the vehicle occupant instructs the in-vehicle device and the control content not displayed on the display 4 by voice, the in-vehicle device and the control content instructed are added to the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content. Anyway.

  When the informed control is permitted (acceptance of service) by the occupant, the system control unit 15 outputs a drive instruction to the drive control unit 17 to execute the control permitted by the occupant. The response of permission / non-permission of control by the occupant can be performed by operating the response switch 2 provided with at least a permission switch, or uttering a voice indicating permission or disapproval to the microphone 1. Is also possible.

  The drive control unit 17 outputs a control instruction signal to each of the ECUs 5 to 7 in order to execute control permitted by the occupant. Upon receiving this control instruction signal, for example, the body system ECU 5 installs a fuel filler actuator that opens and closes the fuel filler opening, a power window (P / W) actuator that opens and closes the driver's seat window, and a trip meter based on the control instruction signal. Actuators such as a trip switch to be reset and a door lock actuator for locking and unlocking the driver's door are driven and controlled. Accordingly, in various situations where the vehicle is placed, it is possible to perform services by controlling the in-vehicle device, and to reduce the operation load on the in-vehicle device by the occupant.

  The traveling system ECU 6 can perform constant speed traveling control that causes the vehicle to travel at a constant speed by drivingly controlling a throttle actuator that controls the opening of the throttle valve. The traveling system ECU 6 includes a radar sensor that detects the inter-vehicle distance from the preceding vehicle. When the preceding vehicle exists, the traveling system ECU 6 follows the preceding vehicle. When the preceding vehicle does not exist, the traveling system ECU 6 You may perform what is called a preceding vehicle follow-up type constant speed running control which makes a vehicle run. Thus, in the present embodiment, the vehicle includes the constant speed traveling device, and the traveling system ECU 6 constitutes a part of the constant speed traveling device. Therefore, the traveling system ECU 6 can automatically control the vehicle at a constant speed based on the control instruction signal.

  The navigation ECU 7 is connected to a communication device that performs a call or data communication with the outside, and instructs the communication device to make a call or perform data communication via the navigation ECU 7. Is possible. For this reason, it is possible to automatically start a telephone call or data communication with the outside by outputting a control instruction signal to the navigation ECU 7. As a result, for example, it becomes possible to make a call to a call center such as a help desk in the event of an emergency in which a vehicle malfunctions, and it can be expected to take appropriate measures with the assistance of the call center operator.

  When receiving the control instruction signal from the drive control unit 17, each of the ECUs 5 to 7 controls various on-vehicle devices including the actuators and switches described above according to the received control instruction signal. Thereby, the control permitted by the passenger is executed.

  When the control instruction signal is output from the drive control unit 17, the system control unit 15 transmits a signal indicating that the control is executed to the estimation unit 13. Then, the estimation part 13 memorize | stores the vehicle-mounted apparatus in which control was performed, and the control content as the learning data 14 for every scene which shows the condition where the vehicle was placed.

(First control example)
Next, a specific control example by the control system of the in-vehicle device will be described. First, based on FIGS. 2 to 4, as a first control example, control for refueling preparation executed when a vehicle refuels at a gas station will be described. 2 is a sequence diagram of refueling preparation control at a gas station, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart of refueling preparation control. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing detailed processing of the control content determination / notification step in FIG.

  First, as shown in step S110 of FIG. 3, information (vehicle information) about the situation where the vehicle is placed, which is transmitted from each of the ECUs 5, 6, and 7, is acquired. As shown in FIG. 2, this information is received by the vehicle information input unit 12 of the control device 10 and given to the estimation unit 13. Then, the estimation unit 13 estimates a situation where the vehicle is placed, that is, a scene, based on the given vehicle information.

  In the example shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, in step S120, the vehicle is approaching the gas station or based on the distance from the gas station based on the information on the vehicle position and neighboring facilities transmitted from the navigation ECU 7. to decide. At this time, if it is determined that the vehicle is approaching the gas station, the process proceeds to step S130, and in order to determine whether or not to stop at the gas station, the vehicle traveling speed transmitted from the traveling system ECU 6 is a predetermined speed (for example, 10 km / h) or less is determined. At this time, if it is determined that the vehicle speed is decreasing, the occupant assumes that he is going to refuel at the gas station, and proceeds to the process of step S140.

  Thus, the estimation part 13 estimates that it is a scene which fuels a vehicle at a gas station based on vehicle information. In estimating the scene, for example, it may be estimated whether the scene is to be refueled in consideration of other information such as the remaining amount of fuel left in the gasoline tank.

  Here, the gas station includes a full-service store that receives a service such as refueling by a store clerk and a self-service store that a vehicle occupant himself refuels. Such distinction between full service and self-service cannot be detected by the detection means mounted on the vehicle.

  Therefore, in step S140, when the shortage information is inquired to the occupant and the answer is obtained, the vehicle-mounted vehicle to be controlled depending on whether the gas station is a full-service store or a self-service store. The control content is determined so as to switch the device and its control content. This makes it possible to perform more appropriate oil supply preparation control.

  Details of the control content determination / notification process in step S140 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S210 of FIG. 4, since it is presumed that this is a scene for refueling a vehicle, an in-vehicle device for performing a preparatory operation for refueling is estimated as a control target. Which in-vehicle device is targeted is determined in advance for each type of control such as fuel supply preparation control. In step S220, as a precaution, the vehicle occupant is inquired whether to use the gas station using voice and / or screen display.

  In step S230, if the occupant's answer is determined and used, the process proceeds to step S240. If not used, the process proceeds to step S310, and a control flag indicating whether or not refueling preparation control is to be executed. Turn off.

  In step S240, the vehicle occupant is inquired of the vehicle occupant using voice and / or screen display whether the gas station is a full-service store or a self-service store. That is, as shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 2, the estimation unit 13 instructs the system control unit 15 to inquire about the shortage condition. As a result, the system control unit 15 uses the speaker 3 and the display 4 to perform voice output and screen display for inquiring about the shortage condition (whether full service or self service).

  If it is determined in step S250 in FIG. 4 that either the full service or the self service is obtained from the occupant, according to the determination result, in the case of the full service, the process proceeds to step S260 and the self service is performed. In step S280, the process proceeds to step S280.

  For example, the sequence diagram of FIG. 2 shows a case where an answer of either full service or self service is obtained from the voice spoken by the vehicle occupant. In this case, the speech recognition unit 11 determines whether the refueling preparation control in the full service mode is necessary or the refueling preparation control in the self service mode is necessary by giving the estimation unit 13 the speech recognition result. can do. Therefore, the estimation unit 13 can appropriately determine the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content based on the answer from the occupant. In addition, you may make it perform the reply from a passenger | crew using the display screen by the display 4. FIG. That is, a full service or self service selection screen may be displayed on the display 4 so that the occupant can select one on the screen.

  In step S260, the in-vehicle device for performing refueling preparation control in the full service mode and the control content are determined. Specifically, for example, as a vehicle-mounted device, a fuel filler actuator, a P / W actuator, and a trip switch are selected, a fuel filler port is opened, a driver's seat window is opened, and a trip meter is reset. Determine as control content.

  On the other hand, in step S270, the in-vehicle device for performing the refueling preparation control in the self-service mode and the control content are determined. Specifically, for example, as a vehicle-mounted device, a fuel filler actuator, a door lock actuator, and a trip switch are selected, and the fuel filler is opened, the driver's door is unlocked, and the trip meter is reset. Determine as control content.

  In step S280, the determined control content is notified to the vehicle occupant. That is, in the sequence diagram of FIG. 2, the in-vehicle device and the control content determined from the estimation unit 13 are notified to the system control unit 15. Based on this notification, the system control unit 15 instructs the audio / display control unit 16 to perform audio output and screen display. Based on this instruction, the sound / display control unit 16 causes the speaker 3 to output a sound indicating the control content of the control, and causes the display 4 to display a list of the in-vehicle device and the control content.

  When it is planned to perform the refueling preparation control in the full service mode, the speaker 3 outputs a voice indicating the control content of the control, for example, “Execute in the full service mode”. On the other hand, when it is planned to perform the refueling preparation control in the self-service mode, the voice “execute in self-service mode” is output. However, in any case, the display 4 displays a list of the above-described in-vehicle devices and their control contents. As a result, it is possible to select and execute only the control by the in-vehicle device that the occupant considers necessary. For example, when the resetting of the meter by the trip switch is unnecessary, an instruction to exclude the trip switch from the control target may be given on the display screen or by voice.

  Conversely, if the occupant does not include the in-vehicle device desired to execute the control and the control content thereof in the list of the in-vehicle device displayed on the display 4 and the control content, the in-vehicle device desired to execute the control and By instructing the control content by voice, an in-vehicle device to be controlled can be added. For example, regarding the refueling preparation control in the full service mode, in order to smoothly perform conversation with the store clerk, when desiring to reduce the volume of the audio, an instruction “decrease the volume of the audio” is given by voice. Then, “audio” as the in-vehicle device and “volume reduction” as the control content are added to the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content in the refueling preparation control in the full service mode.

  In step S290, the response of the occupant made by the voice or the response switch 2 is determined, and if the response indicates that the control is permitted, the process proceeds to step S300, and if the response indicates that the control is not permitted. Advances to the process of step S310. In step S300, a control flag indicating whether or not to execute refueling preparation control in the full service mode or the self service mode is turned on. For example, the sequence diagram of FIG. 2 shows a case where the occupant replies that the control is permitted, that is, the service by the control of the in-vehicle device is accepted by voice. In this case, the voice recognition unit 11 notifies the system control unit 15 of a voice recognition result indicating that the service has been accepted.

  When the control content determination / notification process described with reference to FIG. 4 is completed, step S150 in the flowchart of FIG. 3 is executed. In step S150, when the control flag is turned on, a control instruction signal for controlling the corresponding in-vehicle device is output according to the content determined in step S260 or S270. That is, as shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 2, the system control unit 15 outputs a drive instruction for driving a corresponding in-vehicle device (such as an actuator) to the drive control unit 17. As a result, a control instruction signal is output from the drive control unit 17 to the body system ECU 5, and refueling preparation control in the full service mode or the self service mode is executed. When the control is executed, the system control unit 15 issues an instruction to the voice / display control unit 16 in order to notify the passenger that the control has been executed. This notifies the occupant that the control has been executed through voice and screen display.

  Finally, in step S160, the learning data 14 is updated by storing the controlled in-vehicle device and the control content in association with the scene indicating the situation where the vehicle is placed.

  As described above, by making an inquiry to the occupant as to whether the gas station is a full-service store or a self-service store, information that cannot be detected by an in-vehicle sensor or the like can be obtained from the occupant. And in a gas station, the service by a more suitable vehicle-mounted apparatus can be provided by changing the vehicle-mounted apparatus which should be controlled and the control content according to the difference between full service or self-service.

  Note that the above-described example describes a case where the fuel supply preparation control is executed at a gas station where a vehicle occupant first visits. When you first visit a gas station, you must check with the passengers whether the gas station is a full-service store or a self-service store. However, when the same gas station is visited again, the history of control performed at the gas station and the scene at that time are stored as learning data 14 in the past.

  An example of the learning data 14 is shown in FIG. By referring to the learning data 14, it is possible to determine whether the refueling preparation control in the full service mode has been performed or the refueling preparation control in the self service mode has been performed. For this reason, when a vehicle visits a gas station, it is determined whether or not a control history at the gas station is stored in the learning data 14 when an answer to use the gas station is obtained from an occupant of the vehicle. Then, if stored, the in-vehicle device for performing refueling preparation control in the full service mode or the self service mode and the control content thereof are determined without inquiring the occupant whether the store is a full service or a self service. To do. Thereby, the vehicle-mounted device to be controlled and the control content can be determined without causing any trouble to the occupant. However, even in this case, before the control is actually executed, the control contents of the control are notified and the occupant is requested to execute the control. This is because such control may not be necessary.

  In addition, by referring to the learning data 14, an in-vehicle device that a vehicle occupant has previously excluded or added from the control target can be excluded or added from the control target even in the current control. Therefore, it is possible to provide a service by controlling the in-vehicle device that matches the preference of the vehicle occupant.

  In addition, when the control history at the gas station to be used is not stored this time, but the control history at a different gas station providing the same type of service is stored, the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content are determined. At that time, the control history may be reflected. Specifically, if an object to be controlled is excluded or added at a certain gas station, when determining the in-vehicle equipment to be controlled and its control contents in this gas station as well, You may make it exclude and add. This is because a vehicle occupant tends to desire to receive a service similar to the service previously provided by the in-vehicle device if the situation in which the vehicle is placed is the same.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the learning data 14 preferably identifies an occupant using, for example, a key ID in a smart entry system, and stores information on the identified occupant. In this way, each passenger's preference can be more accurately reflected in the control of the in-vehicle device.

  In addition to the first control example described above, various examples of inquiring the occupant for information that is insufficient in controlling the in-vehicle device can be considered. For example, when it is detected that the vehicle has started traveling on an expressway based on the road type on which the vehicle travels input from the navigation ECU 7, the constant speed traveling device is estimated as an in-vehicle device to be controlled. However, in this case, there is a lack of information on how many kilometers the vehicle should run. Therefore, when the vehicle driver is inquired about the desired speed for running the vehicle at a constant speed and an answer is obtained, the in-vehicle device to be controlled is the constant speed running device, and the control content is obtained from the passenger. The constant speed running control is determined. As described above, by acquiring the speed desired by the occupant when the vehicle is traveling at a constant speed from the occupant, more appropriate control can be performed using the constant speed traveling device.

  Also in this case, when the vehicle starts traveling on a highway where the vehicle has traveled in the past and the constant-speed traveling device is estimated to be an in-vehicle device to be controlled, the same highway in the past in the learning data 14 If the control history when traveling is stored, the control content can be determined without inquiring the occupant about the desired speed. This is because the desired vehicle speed of the occupant when the vehicle is traveling at a constant speed is found from the control history. In this case, after determining the control contents, the occupant is notified of the control contents (for example, is constant-speed traveling control executed at the vehicle speed xxkm / h?), And whether or not the implementation is possible is confirmed. Therefore, there is no possibility of performing control contrary to the intention of the vehicle occupant.

(Second control example)
Next, a second control example by the in-vehicle device control system will be described.

  In the first control example described above, inquires of the occupant about information that is insufficient to control the in-vehicle device, and when an answer is obtained from the occupant, the in-vehicle device to be controlled and the control content are determined based on the answer. It was something to do.

  On the other hand, in the second control example, the vehicle occupant desires control even when the situation determined from various sensors or the like regarding the environment in the vehicle interior does not reach the situation where the control is performed. When a word to that effect is issued, control is executed in accordance with the word issued by the passenger. As a specific example of such a second control example, window defrosting control will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram of window defrosting control. First, the vehicle information input unit 12 inputs detection results detected by the humidity sensor, the vehicle exterior temperature sensor, and the vehicle interior temperature sensor, and outputs them to the estimation unit 13 as vehicle information. The estimation unit 13 determines whether or not the window is cloudy based on the humidity in the vehicle interior and the temperature difference between the vehicle interior and exterior. In this case, in the graph in which the humidity in the vehicle interior is on the horizontal axis and the temperature difference between the outside and the interior of the vehicle is on the vertical axis, the estimation unit 13 is preliminarily set in the first region, the window, where the possibility of fogging in the window is very high. A second region where the possibility of fogging is very low and a third region sandwiched between the first region and the second region are defined. Then, by determining whether the detected relationship between the humidity in the vehicle interior and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle belongs to one of the first to third regions, it is determined whether or not the window is cloudy.

  When the relationship between the humidity inside the vehicle and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle belongs to the first region, as described above, the possibility of fogging in the window is very high, so regardless of the sound produced by the occupant, The in-vehicle device to control the defroster of the air conditioner is determined, and it is determined as the control content that the defroster is turned on and the defrosting control is performed.

  On the other hand, when the relationship between the humidity inside the vehicle and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle belongs to the second region, the possibility of fogging on the window is very low as described above. Therefore, regardless of the sound produced by the occupant, the defroster of the air conditioner is excluded from the in-vehicle device to be controlled. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the defroster from being determined as an in-vehicle device to be controlled despite misrecognizing the utterance content of the occupant and unnecessary.

  When the relationship between the humidity inside the vehicle and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle belongs to the third region, the window is not always fogged, but it cannot be determined that the window is not fogged. . In this case, the estimation unit 13 estimates the defroster as a vehicle-mounted device to be controlled, and stands by in that state.

  At this time, when the voice recognition unit 11 recognizes a passenger's voice indicating that the window is cloudy (for example, “window is cloudy” or “cloudy and difficult to see”), the estimation unit 13 should control the defroster. The in-vehicle device is used, and the control content is determined as defrosting. Then, in order to notify the vehicle occupant of the determined control content, the estimation unit 13 notifies the system control unit 15 of the determined in-vehicle device and the control content. Based on this notification, the system control unit 15 instructs the audio / display control unit 16 to perform audio output and screen display. Based on this instruction, the sound / display control unit 16 causes the speaker 3 to output a sound indicating the control content of the control, and causes the display 4 to display a list of the in-vehicle device and the control content.

  In this case, for example, an audio message “Do you want to remove fogging of the window?” Is output from the speaker 3. And the defroster is displayed on the display 4 as a vehicle-mounted device to be controlled, and defroster on is displayed as the control content.

  In response to the notification of the control content, when the occupant responds that the control is permitted by voice or the response switch 2 (service acceptance), the system control unit 15 notifies the drive control unit 17 of the defroster. A drive instruction for driving is output. As a result, a control instruction signal is output from the drive control unit 17 to the body system ECU 5, the defroster of the air conditioner is turned on, and window defrosting control is executed. When the control is executed, the system control unit 15 issues an instruction to the voice / display control unit 16 in order to notify the passenger that the control has been executed. This notifies the occupant that the control has been executed through voice and screen display.

  As described above, in the window defrosting control as the second control example, the relationship between the humidity inside the vehicle interior and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle belongs to the first region which is a condition in which the window is fogged. Even if not satisfied, when the occupant's word for defrosting the window is detected, the defroster is determined as the vehicle-mounted device to be controlled. Thereby, control of the vehicle-mounted apparatus which controls a vehicle interior environment can be performed more appropriately.

  Also in the case of the second control example described above, when the control is performed, the control data indicating the controlled in-vehicle device and the control content is associated with the scene indicating the situation where the vehicle is placed and the learning data 14 Remember as. Then, the learning data 14 may be used to change conditions for determining that the in-vehicle environment needs to be controlled. For example, in the above-described example of the defogging control, the first region may be expanded so that the relationship between the humidity inside the vehicle and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle when the defogging control is performed belongs to the first region. As a result, the conditions under which the control is executed can be updated so as to be suitable for the occupant's senses and usage conditions.

  In addition to the second control example described above, the vehicle occupant wishes to control the vehicle interior environment even if the situation determined by various sensors or the like has not yet reached the control status. Various control examples are conceivable in which control is executed in response to a word issued by the occupant when a word to the effect is issued.

  For example, when an occupant tries to get into a vehicle, if it is detected that the interior of the vehicle is hot based on the detection results of the outside temperature sensor, the inside temperature sensor, the solar radiation sensor, etc. A P / W actuator for opening and closing a seat window and an air conditioner are estimated as on-vehicle devices to be controlled.

  Also in this case, in order to determine the high temperature state in the passenger compartment, the first condition that is very likely to be a high temperature state and the second condition that is very likely not to be a high temperature state are set in advance. It is determined whether the detection result by each sensor satisfies the first condition and the second condition. When the detection result by the sensor satisfies the first condition, the in-vehicle device for performing the ventilation control unconditionally is determined as the in-vehicle device to be controlled. On the other hand, when the second condition is satisfied, the in-vehicle device for performing the ventilation control is unconditionally excluded from the in-vehicle device to be controlled.

  When the detection result by the sensor does not satisfy both the first condition and the second condition, the P / W actuator and the air conditioner are estimated as on-vehicle devices to be controlled. And when the passenger | crew's word which shows that a vehicle interior is hot is recognized, those apparatuses are determined as a vehicle-mounted apparatus which should be controlled. Then, as control contents, it is determined that the P / W actuator opens the windows of all seats and operates the air conditioner at the maximum air volume. By executing such ventilation control, hot air in the passenger compartment is quickly released outside the passenger compartment.

  And after implementing ventilation control mentioned above, the detection result and control history of each sensor are memorized as learning data 14, and the 1st condition for judging a high temperature state is updated based on this learning data 14.

(Third control example)
Next, the 3rd example of control by the control system of an in-vehicle device is explained. In the third control example, the information related to the situation where the vehicle is placed is operation information when the vehicle occupant performs an operation on the in-vehicle device. When the estimation unit 13 acquires such operation information via the vehicle information input unit 12, the in-vehicle device that performs operation guidance for the in-vehicle device that is operated by the vehicle occupant is set as the in-vehicle device to be controlled. presume.

  And when the passenger | crew's word which shows that operation cannot be performed successfully is recognized by the voice recognition part 11, the estimation part 13 is based on the passenger | crew's word as an vehicle-mounted apparatus which should control the vehicle-mounted apparatus which performs operation guidance decide.

  In recent vehicles, various in-vehicle devices are made electronic, and the operation procedure is also complicated. For example, in a vehicle employing a push-type engine start button, when starting the engine, it is necessary to press the engine start button while depressing the brake pedal. Therefore, when the occupant of the vehicle is operating only the engine start button and detects the utterance that the occupant does not start, the occupant is likely not to know the operation procedure for starting the engine. Therefore, it is suggested to the occupant to provide operational guidance for starting the engine. And when the proposal is permitted to the passenger | crew, operation guidance is shown by a vehicle-mounted apparatus. By doing so, the vehicle occupant can operate various on-vehicle devices without any trouble.

(Fourth control example)
Next, a fourth control example by the control system for the in-vehicle device will be described. In the fourth control example, the information related to the situation where the vehicle is placed is diagnosis information obtained from a plurality of in-vehicle devices (ECUs). When the diagnosis unit 13 acquires diagnostic information from each of the ECUs 5 to 7 via the vehicle information input unit 12, the estimation unit 13 estimates an in-vehicle device that performs a call to the call center as an in-vehicle device to be controlled. And when the passenger | crew's word which shows that it is a failure is recognized by the voice recognition part 11, the estimation part 13 is based on the passenger | crew's word as an vehicle-mounted apparatus which should control the vehicle-mounted apparatus which calls a call center decide. As a result, even if any on-vehicle device (ECU) of the vehicle breaks down, it can be expected to take appropriate measures with the assistance of the call center operator.

  The in-vehicle device that performs a call to the call center can perform data communication with the call center, and the system control unit 15 can receive the above-described diagnosis information before or during the call. The vehicle information including it is transmitted to the call center. As a result, the operator can more accurately recognize the failure state of the vehicle.

  Furthermore, personal information including at least one of the vehicle number, the name of the registrant registered as the vehicle user, the current position of the vehicle, and the travel route is also transmitted to the call center as part of the vehicle information described above. Is preferred. This information is useful, for example, when an operator requests a trader to move a wrecker in a case where the vehicle is not capable of traveling on its own.

  However, since the vehicle number, registrant's name, current position of the vehicle, and travel route belong to the personal information, the passenger was inquired about whether or not the transmission was possible, and a response to allow the transmission was obtained from the occupant. Only in such a case, the vehicle information including the personal information described above is transmitted to the call center.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, in the embodiment described above, the microphone 1 is used to detect the voice of the vehicle occupant and the voice recognition unit 11 recognizes the voice data. However, for example, a camera that captures the state of the vehicle occupant may be provided in the passenger compartment, and the occupant's answer and intention may be estimated from the behavior of the occupant captured by the camera. For example, when the occupant nods to the control proposal, it can be estimated that the execution of the control is permitted. Conversely, if the occupant shook his head in response to the proposal, it can be estimated that the execution of the control has been rejected. Further, for example, when an occupant performs an operation of wiping the window, it is estimated that the window is fogged.
