  The tilting unit 12 that tilts and drives the display panel DISP includes an angle sensor A121 that detects an angle of the display panel with respect to the main body 10 and a tilting motor 122 that tilts the display panel. A detection angle signal from the angle sensor A 121 is given to the AVN control unit 18, and the motor 122 is driven in the forward direction and the reverse direction by the drive signal from the driver DrA corresponding to the drive signal from the unit 18.

Is supplied to the AVN control unit 18, and the motor B132 is driven in the forward direction and the reverse direction by the drive signal from the driver DrB corresponding to the drive signal from the unit 18.

  An operation signal from the operation button 133 is given to the AVN control unit 18 via the operation control unit 22. Further, an operation signal from the touch panel unit 14 provided in the display panel DISP is also given to the AVN control unit 18 through the operation control unit 22.

  The navigation unit 24 includes map data 244 stored in a storage medium such as a hard disk or a DVD, a GPS signal from a GPS receiver 243 mounted in a car navigation system, an inclination angle signal from a gyro sensor 242, The vehicle speed signal from the vehicle speed sensor 241 is given, and these signals are given from the navigation unit 24 to the AVN control unit 18.

  The audio control unit 26 supplies the audio signal from the audio reproduction unit 261 to the AVN control unit 18. The reproduction unit 261 extracts an audio signal from the audio source 262 and supplies the audio signal to the amplifier 263, and the speaker 264 outputs sound based on the signal amplified by the amplifier 263.

  FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of the AVN control unit in the present embodiment. The AVN control unit 18 is a processor composed of, for example, a general-purpose microprocessor or ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), a central processing unit CPU, a program memory P-ROM in which a control program is stored, an interface IF, and a nonvolatile memory. NVMEM and they are connected via an internal bus BUS.

  The program memory P-ROM stores an operation panel tilt control program to be described later. Further, in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM, the AVN control unit 18 responds to a signal from the operation button in a state where the operation panel ACP is closed (FIGS. 1A and 1B) (FIG. 1). (C), the initial tilt angle with respect to the front surface of the main body when opening up to FIG. 1 (d) is initially set, and the end point of the tilt operation when the operation panel ACP performs various tilt operations from the initial tilt angle. Is stored, the target angle of the operation panel ACP with respect to the front surface of the main body is stored.

  Hereinafter, the operation of tilting the operation panel according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the tilting operation of the display panel is omitted, and the display panel is not shown as being fixed to the front surface of the main body, and the tilting operation performed by the operation panel with respect to the main body is illustrated.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a tilting operation of pushing back the operation button. FIG. 4A shows a state in which the operation panel ACP is opened at the initial tilt angle ST1 with respect to the main body front surface portion Fr set in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM in response to the user's activation instruction. From this state, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the user (driver) presses the button BT1 on the operation panel ACP along the arrow PUSH, a pressing signal from the operation button 133 is transmitted via the operation control unit 22. The AVN control unit is provided with a predetermined target angle T1 in the direction in which the operation panel ACP is pushed back when the button is pressed, that is, in the direction in which the operation panel ACP is brought closer to the front face Fr of the main body as indicated by an arrow RIV. Tilt up to. Then, when the user (driver) stops pressing the button, the operation panel ACP returns to the position before the start of tilting as shown by the arrow RET in FIG.

  By such tilting operation, the user (driver) can get a tactile sensation that the operation panel is pushed back in response to the button press, and can confirm that the input by the button operation has been performed effectively. Can remember.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the tilting operation control that is pushed back in response to the pressing of the operation button. This tilting operation control is performed by the control program of the AVN control unit. The operation button 133 receives the button pressing signal of the user (driver) (S10), and performs the tilting operation of the operation panel ACP (S14) while the pressing signal continues (YES in S12). This tilting operation is performed by driving a motor in the tilting unit of the operation panel ACP, and when it moves to a predetermined target angle T1 with respect to the front face Fr of the main body stored in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM (YES in S16), The tilting is stopped (S18), and it returns to the position of the initial tilting angle ST1 that is initially set in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM (S20). Even before moving to the target angle in the middle of the tilting operation (NO in S16), if the button signal disappears (NO in S12), the tilting is stopped (S18) and the position of the initial tilting angle ST1 is reached. Return (S20). Therefore, even if the button is kept pressed, the tilting is stopped at a predetermined target angle, so that the operation panel ACP is not tilted to the closed position of the main body front surface portion Fr.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a tilting operation according to acceleration / deceleration of the vehicle. FIG. 6A shows a state in which the operation panel ACP is opened at an initial tilt angle ST1 with respect to the main body front surface portion Fr set in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM in response to a user's activation instruction. In this state, when the user (driver) accelerates the vehicle, a speed signal is given from the vehicle speed sensor 241 to the AVN control unit via the navigation control unit 24. When the unit determines acceleration, the operation panel ACP is displayed in FIG. As shown by the arrow AC of b), it is tilted to a position of a predetermined target angle T2 with respect to the main body front surface portion Fr in a direction approaching the main body front surface portion Fr. When the user (driver) decelerates, the AVN control unit determines that the vehicle is decelerated from the speed signal, and the position of the initial tilt angle ST1 before the operation panel ACP starts tilting as shown by the arrow DC in FIG. Tilt back up.

  With this tilting operation, even if the upper body of the user (driver) tilts backward due to the acceleration caused by the acceleration of the vehicle, the operation panel tilts in front of the user (driver). Easy to operate. Further, even when the user (driver) 's upper body is tilted forward due to deceleration, the operation panel is also tilted forward, so that the operation panel is kept at an angle that is easy for the user (driver) to operate. Furthermore, since the user (driver) can obtain feedback that the operation panel tilts with respect to the driving operation of acceleration / deceleration of the vehicle, it can be interesting.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart of tilting operation control according to acceleration / deceleration of the vehicle. A speed signal given from the vehicle speed sensor 241 via the navigation control unit 24 is detected (S20). If the speed is increasing (acceleration) (YES in S22), a predetermined value stored in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM is stored. The operation panel ACP is tilted to the target angle (YES in S24 and S26). However, even before the operation panel ACP moves to the target angle, if the acceleration is interrupted (NO in S22), the tilting is stopped (S28). Therefore, even if the button is kept pressed, the tilting is stopped at a predetermined target angle, so that the operation panel ACP is not tilted to the closed position of the main body front surface portion Fr.

  Conversely, a speed signal given from the vehicle speed sensor 241 via the navigation control unit 24 is detected (S30). If the speed is decreasing (deceleration) (YES in S32), the nonvolatile memory NVMEM is initially set. The operation panel ACP is tilted to the tilt angle that has been set (YES in S34 and S36). However, even if it is before returning to the initially set tilt angle, if deceleration is interrupted (NO in S32), the tilt is stopped (S38).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a tilting operation according to an audio signal. FIG. 8A shows a state in which the operation panel ACP is opened at the initial tilt angle ST1 with respect to the main body front surface portion Fr set in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM in response to the user's activation instruction. In this state, the AVN control unit acquires an audio signal given via the audio control unit.

  For example, when the sound pressure in the low sound range exceeds a predetermined threshold, the target angle T3 with respect to the main body front surface portion Fr is set in the direction in which the operation panel ACP is brought closer to the main body front surface portion Fr as shown by the arrow V1 in FIG. By tilting the operation panel ACP in the direction away from the front surface portion Fr, the operation panel ACP is continuously reciprocated as the amplitude VW1 between the position of the initial tilt angle ST1 and the position of the target angle T3. Tilt.

  If the sound pressure in the high sound range exceeds a predetermined threshold value, it is tilted to the position of the target angle T4 with respect to the main body front surface portion Fr in the direction approaching the main body front surface portion Fr as shown by the arrow V2 in FIG. By alternately tilting the operation panel ACP in the direction away from the front surface portion Fr, the operation panel ACP is continuously reciprocally tilted with the amplitude VW2 between the position of the initial tilt angle ST1 and the position of the target angle T4.

  Here, since the target angle T3 is larger than T4 and the amplitude VW2 is larger than the amplitude VW1, the tilting operation causes the user (driver) to adjust the amplitude according to the music output from the audio system. You can get the fun of tilting while making it smaller.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the correspondence between the audio signal and the tilt target angle. The horizontal axis represents the pitch, the vertical axis represents the sound pressure, and shows the relationship with the target angle. Here, each bar graph represents the sound pressure for each pitch. For example, a pitch RL2 or higher is set as a high pitch HZ, a pitch less than the pitch RL2 is set as a low pitch LZ, and a sound pressure threshold is set RL1. When a sound pressure exceeding the threshold value RL1 is detected in the low sound range LZ, the target angle is T3, and tilting is performed with a small amplitude VW1. When a sound pressure exceeding the threshold value RL1 is detected in the high sound range HZ, the target angle is set to T4 and tilted with a large amplitude VW2. When a sound pressure exceeding the threshold RL1 is measured in both the low sound range and the high sound range, the sound is tilted with a large amplitude VW2 with the target angle as T4. The correspondence relationship is stored in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM, and the AVN control unit tilts the operation panel with an amplitude corresponding to the audio signal. Note that the above-described relationship between the pitch or sound pressure and the target angle of the tilting operation is merely an example, and various correspondence relationships can be set.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart of tilting operation control according to the audio signal. The AVN control unit acquires an audio signal given through the audio control unit, and detects the pitch and the sound pressure at each pitch (S40). Then, referring to the correspondence relationship of FIG. 9 stored in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM (S42), if the sound pressure in the high sound range exceeds a predetermined threshold (YES in S44), the target angle of the operation panel ACP is set to T4. (Increase the amplitude) and perform a tilting motion (S46). When the sound pressure in the high sound range does not exceed the predetermined threshold value (NO in S44) and the sound pressure in the low sound range exceeds the predetermined threshold value (YES in S48), the target angle of the operation panel ACP is set to T3. A tilting operation is performed by reciprocating (with a reduced amplitude) (S50). In any tilting operation, when the sound pressure in the high sound range and the low sound range is lower than the threshold value, the tilting is stopped (S52).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining an operation of correcting the initial tilt angle according to the tilt of the AVN apparatus main body at the time of startup. The operation panel ACP opens at an initial tilt angle set in the non-volatile memory NVMEM in response to a user activation instruction. However, when the AVN device main body is tilted, the position of the operation panel opened at the initial tilt angle with respect to the front surface of the main body is not always suitable for the user (driver). Therefore, it is necessary to correct the initial tilt angle according to the tilt of the AVN apparatus main body. The cause of the inclination of the AVN device is considered to be the case where the AVN device is attached while being inclined due to the different instrument panel specifications for each vehicle, and the case where the road surface on which the vehicle is located is inclined. Hereinafter, each case will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 11A shows an initial tilt in which the operation panel ACP is initially set in the non-volatile memory NVMEM in response to a user activation instruction when the AVN apparatus main body 10 is installed without tilt with respect to the horizontal plane HL. Shown open at an angle. That is, the initial tilt angle ST1 is the sum of an angle R formed by the front surface of the main body 10 and the horizontal plane HL and an angle A formed by the horizontal plane HL and the operation panel ACP. Here, since the arrow Drv indicates the direction facing the user (driver) and is parallel to the horizontal plane HL, the position tilted downward by the angle A from the horizontal plane HL (arrow Drv) for the user (driver). Is the position where the operation panel ACP is tilted to the initial tilt angle.

  Next, FIG. 11B shows a state in which the operation panel ACP is opened in response to the user's activation instruction when the AVN apparatus main body 10 is attached to be tilted with respect to the vehicle. The AVN device main body 10 is inclined at an angle B with respect to the horizontal plane HL. However, the arrow Drv facing the user (driver) is parallel to the horizontal plane HL, and the angle of the operation panel ACP serving as a reference for the user (driver) is an angle downward from the horizontal plane HL as shown in FIG. A is the tilted position. Therefore, by adding the inclination angle B from the horizontal plane HL to the angle R from the front surface portion Fr of the main body and further tilting the operation panel ACP to an angle obtained by adding the angle A, the operation panel ACP for the user (driver) The position is equivalent to the reference position shown in FIG.

  Therefore, in this case, the tilt angle signal detected by the gyro sensor mounted on the car navigation system is given to the AVN control unit via the navigation unit, and the unit sets the initial tilt angle initially set in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM. Then, after correcting the angle B, the operation panel ACP is tilted to the corrected initial tilt angle.

  Next, FIG. 11C shows a state where the operation panel ACP is opened in response to the user's activation instruction when the vehicle is located on an inclined road surface with the state of FIG. 11A as a reference. Since the road surface is inclined at the angle C with respect to the horizontal plane HL, the AVN apparatus main body 10 is also in the state where the angle C is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane HL. However, the difference from the state of FIG. 11B is that the vehicle is tilted, so the arrow Drv facing the user (driver) who is on board is not parallel to the horizontal plane HL. That is, the horizontal plane for the user (driver) is a plane cHL inclined by an angle C from the absolute horizontal plane HL, and the position of the operation panel ACP serving as a reference for the user (driver) is tilted downward by an angle A from the plane cHL. Is the position. Therefore, in this case, since the operation panel ACP is tilted from the front face Fr of the main body to the angle R plus the angle A as the initial tilt angle, the angle A is tilted downward from the plane cHL. The tilt angle is not corrected.

  The AVN control unit acquires the position information signal from the GPS receiver in addition to the tilt angle signal detected by the gyro sensor via the navigation control unit, and can grasp the position of the vehicle by referring to the map data. It can be judged whether the parking position is flat or inclined. Therefore, if the tilt of the AVN device is detected by the gyro sensor and the parking position is flat, it can be determined that the tilt is due to the device being tilted as shown in FIG. 11 (b). , Correct the initial tilt angle. However, as shown in FIG. 11C, when the parking position is an inclined place and there is a possibility that the inclination is due to the road surface inclination, the initial inclination angle initially set in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM is not corrected.

  As described above, the initial setting of the tilt angle of the operation panel suitable for the user (driver) can be corrected by detecting the tilt of the main body when the AVN device is activated. Therefore, for the user (driver), the angle is favorably maintained when the operation panel is opened, so that the operability is improved.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the initial tilt angle correction operation control according to the tilt of the AVN apparatus main body at the time of activation. First, the AVN control unit acquires the tilt angle of the operation panel ACP that is initially set in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM (S60). Next, the inclination of the AVN apparatus main body 10 is determined from the inclination angle signal given from the gyro sensor via the navigation control unit. If there is no tilt (NO in S62), the tilt angle initially set in the non-volatile memory NVMEM is not corrected and tilts to the initial tilt angle as it is (S68). If there is a tilt (YES in S62), the map data and Information on the position of the vehicle is acquired based on the GPS signal (S64). If the vehicle is located on a sloping ground (YES in S66), there is a high possibility that the slope is affected by the slope of the road surface. Therefore, the initial tilt angle initially set in the nonvolatile memory NVMEM is not corrected, and the operation panel ACP is moved. Tilt (S68). If there is no road surface gradient and the inclination is due to the attachment of the apparatus body (NO in S66), the initially set tilt angle is corrected (S70), and the operation panel ACP is tilted to the corrected initial tilt angle. (S68).

As described above, according to the present invention, the operability of the AVN device can be improved and the interest of the user (driver) for the driving operation of the vehicle can be evoked.
