Description

  The present invention relates to a state control device, a state control method, a guidance control device, and a guidance control method for controlling the state of a guidance system that performs guidance with screen display.

In recent vehicles, various types of guidance using a screen, such as vehicle seat position adjustment, mirror angle adjustment, route navigation, etc., are often implemented, and this type of technology is displayed on a touch panel. There is known a technique for switching the operation according to the operation state of the vehicle (for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2005-153684 A

In the prior art, it was not possible to suppress unnecessary power consumption.
That is, in order to perform guidance with screen display, the guidance control means must be driven so that screen display can be performed. However, screen display is not necessarily required in any situation, and guidance is not required. Nevertheless, in the configuration in which the screen display is performed and the standby is performed, unnecessary power is consumed. In particular, in order to use the equipment of the vehicle when the vehicle is stopped, it is necessary to supply power from the battery mounted on the vehicle. It may interfere with power supply to high-priority power supply targets such as start-up.

  For example, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, when a courtesy SW signal is received by the courtesy SW, a screen for switching the screen displayed on the touch display and performing sheet adjustment or the like is displayed, and at least the courtesy SW When the signal is received, the screen is displayed on the assumption that the sheet adjustment is performed. However, even when the courtesy SW signal is received, the seat adjustment or the like is not always performed, and the vehicle door may be opened in order to take out the luggage in the vehicle. In this case, if a screen such as sheet adjustment is displayed, power is consumed unnecessarily.

Furthermore, in the above-described conventional technology, the screen displayed on the touch panel is switched depending on the operation state of the vehicle. Therefore, in the above-described conventional technology, the screen displayed on the touch panel cannot be switched unless the vehicle operation state is switched. . However, the switching of the display screen on the touch panel is not always linked to the operation state of the vehicle. For example, the driving position setting screen is preferably switched according to the driver's state.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to suppress unnecessary power consumption in a system that provides guidance with screen display. Moreover, it aims at switching a screen according to a driver | operator's state.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the guidance control means for performing guidance with display on the screen is configured to be able to be driven in a standby state with low power consumption, and is output when the vehicle door is opened. When the opening signal is received, the guidance control means is driven in a standby state. That is, the guidance control means is driven in a state where an operation for opening the door of the vehicle is performed. In this state, the guidance control means is driven in a standby state in which power consumption is smaller than that in the normal state. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the power for driving the guidance control means in a state where the door is opened but it is not known whether or not to use guidance based on the screen.

  Here, the door opening signal receiving means only needs to be able to receive a door opening signal for opening the door of the vehicle, and is configured to output a door opening signal when the vehicle door is opened in the vehicle. What is necessary is just to be able to receive this door opening signal. Also, any signal corresponding to opening the door can be used as an opening signal, for example, an unlocking signal for unlocking the door of the vehicle or a door for detecting that the door is opened. An open detection signal or the like can be used as an opening signal.

  The guidance control means may be configured to display a predetermined image on a predetermined screen capable of displaying an image for guidance and to be driven in a standby state with lower power consumption than the normal state. Here, the standby state may be any state that consumes less power than the normal state. For example, when the guidance control means is realized by a device such as a processor or a memory, the standby state may be a state in which power consumption is suppressed by stopping some of the functions instead of a state where all the functions can be used. .

  More specifically, the state in which the power supply to any one (or combination) of the devices is stopped is set to the standby state, and either or both of the OS and the application program are written in the memory so that the processor can be driven immediately. A configuration in which a state in which power supply to some devices is stopped after the writing is set to a standby state can be employed. Of course, the above devices include various devices such as a hard disk and a drawing chip in addition to a processor and a memory.

  Further, the power consumption may be suppressed by not performing screen display. That is, in the screen display, since the power consumption is generally increased because the light source for displaying the image is driven, the power consumption in the standby state can be effectively suppressed by adopting a configuration in which the screen display is not performed. it can. In any case, an object to be supplied with power in the standby state may be appropriately selected according to the power to be suppressed and the time required for shifting from the standby state to the normal state.

  Further, the guidance in the guidance control means may be guidance accompanied by display on the screen, and may be guidance when using vehicle accessory functions such as vehicle seat position adjustment and mirror angle adjustment. Alternatively, guidance by a navigation system may be used. Further, in the state control means, it is only necessary that the guidance control means can be driven in the standby state. For example, a device to be driven in the standby state is registered in advance, and only the pre-registered device is stored in the standby state. A driving structure or the like can be employed.

  In the above configuration, the power consumption can be suppressed by driving the guidance control means in the standby state, but when using the guidance based on the screen, it is preferable to quickly shift from the standby state to the normal state. . For this reason, when the guidance control means is driven without limiting the functions other than the screen display in the state where the screen display is not performed as described above, the normal state can be promptly shifted only by displaying the screen.

  Further, as a specific example of shifting from the standby state to the normal state, a configuration for detecting boarding in the driver's seat may be employed. In other words, when the boarding detection sensor detects boarding of the vehicle in the driver's seat, the driving state shifts from the standby state to the normal state. According to this configuration, it is possible to enter a standby state when the door is opened for purposes other than driving, such as taking out luggage from the vehicle, and to shift to a normal state when the driver gets into the driver's seat for driving. Power consumption can be reliably suppressed.

  The boarding detection sensor only needs to be able to detect that the driver has boarded the driver's seat, and a seating sensor that detects seating on the driver's seat, a steering sensor that detects contact with the steering, and the like can be employed. Of course, it may be configured to detect that the user has boarded the driver's seat when detection indicating boarding is performed by the plurality of sensors.

  Furthermore, when the seating sensor or the steering sensor is used, it is possible to predict the action that the driver is about to perform while the driver is in the driver's seat, so that the display content of the screen is switched based on this prediction. You may comprise. As a configuration example for this, a predetermined menu is displayed on the screen when seating on the driver's seat is detected by the seating sensor, and further, the driving position of the driving position is displayed on the screen when contact with the steering is detected by the steering sensor. You may comprise so that a setting screen may be displayed.

  That is, when the driver is seated in the driver's seat and further grips the steering wheel, the driving position setting screen is displayed on the assumption that there is a high possibility of setting the driving position from the relationship between the seat and the steering wheel. According to this configuration, it is not necessary to perform a complicated operation in order to display the driving position setting screen, and it is possible to provide guidance that is extremely easy to operate.

  Further, the predetermined menu displayed on the screen before displaying the driving position setting screen can be configured by any screen different from the driving position setting screen. For example, it may be a screen for performing settings for listening to music, a setting for a navigation system, or a general-purpose menu screen for selecting a desired function. According to the above configuration, it is possible to display a screen that can be used by the driver after the driver is seated in the driver's seat while suppressing power consumption by the guidance control means before sitting. It is possible to realize guidance with high operability as well as reduction.

  Further, as described above, when the boarding detection sensor does not detect boarding of the vehicle in the driver's seat, the power supply to the guidance control means may be stopped. For example, after driving the guidance control means in a standby state, when the boarding detection sensor does not detect boarding of the vehicle in the driver's seat until a certain time has elapsed, the driving of the guidance control means is stopped. Adopt it. According to this configuration, when the door is opened for a purpose other than driving such as taking out the luggage from the vehicle, the standby state can be shifted to the stop state, and unnecessary power consumption can be suppressed.

  Further, the boarding detection sensor for detecting the boarding of the vehicle in the driver's seat, for example, the boarding of the driver's seat by one or both of the seating sensor for detecting the seating in the driver's seat and the steering sensor for detecting contact with the steering wheel. A configuration may be adopted in which a driving position setting screen is displayed on a predetermined screen when an error is detected. That is, when the driver is seated in the driver's seat, when the steering wheel is gripped, or when both are performed, it is considered that there is a high possibility of setting the driving position, and the driving position setting screen is displayed. According to this configuration, it is not necessary to perform a complicated operation to display the driving position setting screen, it is possible to perform extremely easy operation guidance, and the predetermined screen is switched according to the state of the driver. Is possible. Further, by displaying the screen when the possibility of setting the driving position is high, the screen is displayed when necessary. Accordingly, useless screen display can be prevented, and useless power consumption for screen display can be suppressed.

  Further, as in the present invention, the method of shifting from the standby state of low power consumption to the normal state and the method of switching the screen based on a predetermined trigger in the guidance control means can also be applied as a program or method. In addition, the state control device, the program, and the method as described above may be realized as a single state control device, or may be realized by using parts shared with each part provided in the vehicle. The embodiment is included. For example, it is possible to provide a navigation device, a method, and a program that include the state control device as described above. Further, some changes may be made as appropriate, such as a part of software and a part of hardware. Furthermore, the invention is also established as a recording medium for a program for controlling the state control device. Of course, the software recording medium may be a magnetic recording medium, a magneto-optical recording medium, or any recording medium to be developed in the future.

Here, embodiments of the present invention will be described in the following order.
(1) Configuration of state control device:
(2) State control processing:
(3) Other embodiments:

(1) Configuration of state control device:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a state control device 10 mounted on a vehicle. The state control device 10 according to the present embodiment includes a door opening signal receiving unit 20, a seating sensor 21, a steering sensor 22, an ECU (door ECU 20a, a seat ECU 21a, a steering ECU 22a) and a guidance ECU 30 that control these units. This is realized by the cooperation of the display unit 40. Each unit is driven by power supplied from a battery (not shown).

  The opening signal receiving unit 20 includes a circuit that receives a radio signal and a mechanism that unlocks the door of the vehicle, and the door ECU 20a controls the unlocking of the door. That is, the door opening signal receiving unit 20 receives a radio signal transmitted from a radio transmitting unit attached to a key for opening a vehicle door, and outputs a code indicated by the radio signal to the door ECU 20a. The door ECU 20a analyzes the code and outputs an unlocking signal indicating unlocking to the door opening signal receiving unit 20 when the code is an appropriate code. The door opening signal receiving unit 20 unlocks the door of the vehicle when receiving the unlock signal. The door ECU 20a also outputs the unlock signal to the guide ECU 30 when the code is an appropriate code.

  The seating sensor 21 is a sensor (for example, a load sensor) attached to the seat of the driver's seat of the vehicle, and outputs a signal indicating that to the seat ECU 21a when the driver gets on the driver's seat. . The seat ECU 21a recognizes that the driver is seated on the driver's seat by receiving this signal. When the seat ECU 21a recognizes that the driver is seated on the driver's seat, the seat ECU 21a outputs a signal indicating the seating on the driver seat to the guidance ECU 30.

  The steering sensor 22 is a sensor (for example, a capacitive contact sensor) attached to the steering of the vehicle, and outputs a signal indicating that to the steering ECU 22a when the driver grasps the steering. The steering ECU 22a recognizes that the driver has grasped the steering wheel by receiving this signal. When the steering ECU 22a recognizes that the driver has gripped the steering wheel, the steering ECU 22a outputs a signal indicating that the steering wheel has been gripped to the guidance ECU 30.

  The display unit 40 is a unit that displays an arbitrary image on a display provided in the vehicle. In the present embodiment, the display unit 40 includes a touch panel that receives an instruction operation by touching a screen with a finger. In addition, the guidance ECU 30 displays images indicating various types of guidance, such as vehicle route guidance and driving position guidance in the vehicle, on the display unit 40, and performs control according to touch operations on the touch panel, for example, driving position setting instructions. Accordingly, it is possible to perform control for driving an actuator (not shown).

  The guidance ECU 30 includes a CPU (not shown), a RAM, a ROM, etc. (not shown), a navigation program for guiding the vehicle using a received signal in a GPS receiving unit (not shown), map information stored in a storage medium (not shown), etc. It is possible to execute a program for performing state control according to the invention.

  The program for performing the state control includes each module of an opening signal reception unit 31, a state control unit 32, and a guidance control unit 33. The door opening signal receiving unit 31 receives the above-described unlocking signal output by the door ECU 20a. That is, it recognizes that operation for opening the door of a vehicle was performed by receiving the said unlocking signal corresponding to an opening signal.

  The state control unit 32 is a module that controls the power consumption of the display unit 40 by controlling the driving state of the display unit 40, and the door opening signal receiving unit 31 indicates that an operation for opening the door of the vehicle has been performed. When recognized, the guidance control means comprising the guidance control unit 33 and the display unit 40 is driven in a standby state with low power consumption. That is, in the standby state, the guidance control unit 33 is loaded into the RAM to enter the execution standby state, and the display unit 40 does not perform screen display (no power is supplied to the light source for screen display). The display unit 40 is set in a standby state.

  Further, when the state control unit 32 acquires a signal indicating that the driver is seated from the seat ECU 21a and acquires a signal indicating that the steering is gripped from the steering ECU 22a, the state control unit 32 displays the guidance control unit 33. The guidance control means comprising the unit 40 is driven in a normal state. That is, in the normal state, the screen of the display unit 40 is displayed, and the processing by the guidance control unit 33 is started.

  The guidance control unit 33 is a module that performs guidance with a predetermined image display on the screen of the display unit 40. In this embodiment, the guidance control unit 33 displays a screen for setting a driving position and performs guidance. That is, when the driver is seated and grips the steering wheel, if there is a sense of incongruity in the driving position, there is a high possibility of setting the driving position. Therefore, a signal for displaying a screen for setting the driving position is displayed on the display unit 40. And a signal corresponding to the touch operation on the touch panel is acquired, and an actuator (not shown) corresponding to the operation is driven.

(2) State control processing:
In the present embodiment, in the above configuration, the guidance ECU 30 performs the process shown in FIG. 2 in order to perform state control for suppressing power consumption. In this process, the guidance ECU 30 determines whether or not an operation for opening the vehicle door has been performed by the door opening signal receiving unit 31 (step S100). If it is not determined in step S100 that an operation for opening the vehicle door has been performed, the subsequent processing is skipped.

  When it is determined in step S100 that an operation for opening the vehicle door has been performed, the processing of the state control unit 32 is started. The state control unit 32 includes a guidance control unit including a guidance control unit 33 and a display unit 40. Drive in the standby state (step S105). FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the screen 41 on the display unit 40. In the above-described step S105, when the guidance control unit 33 and the display unit 40 are driven in a standby state, the guidance control unit 33 is loaded in the RAM, and processing by the guidance control unit 33 can be executed. In this state, power for displaying an image on the display unit 40 is not supplied. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3A, no image is displayed on the display unit 40, and power consumption can be suppressed.

  Next, the state control unit 32 determines whether or not a certain time (for example, 5 minutes) has elapsed since the operation for opening the door of the vehicle was performed using a timing unit (not shown). (Step S110). In step S110, when it is not determined that a certain time has elapsed from the time when the operation for opening the door is performed, the state control unit 32 determines whether or not seating on the driver's seat is detected by the seating sensor 21. (Step S115). That is, the state control unit 32 determines whether or not a signal indicating seating on the driver's seat is acquired from the seat ECU 21a.

  When it is determined in step S115 that seating in the driver's seat has been detected, the state control unit 32 further determines whether or not the steering sensor 22 has detected that the steering wheel has been gripped (step S120). That is, the state control unit 32 determines whether or not a signal indicating that the steering has been gripped has been acquired from the steering ECU 22a. When it is determined in step S120 that the steering wheel has been gripped, the process shifts from the standby state to the normal state, and a setting screen for the driving position is displayed on the display unit 40 to perform setting guidance (step S125). That is, the state control unit 32 supplies power for performing screen display on the display unit 40 and gives an instruction to start processing by the guidance control unit 33.

  When this instruction is given, the guidance control unit 33 outputs a signal for displaying the setting screen of the driving position to the display unit 40, and causes the display unit 40 to display the setting screen as shown in FIG. 3B. . Further, a signal corresponding to a touch operation on the touch panel is acquired, and an actuator (not shown) corresponding to the operation is driven.

  If it is not determined in step S115 that seating in the driver's seat has been detected, and if it is not determined in step S120 that the steering wheel has been gripped, the state control unit 32 returns to step S110 and continues processing. Further, when it is determined in step S110 that a predetermined time has elapsed since the operation for opening the door was performed, the standby state is canceled (step S130). That is, the guidance control unit 33 is erased from the RAM, and power supply to the display unit 40 is stopped.

  As a result, the state of the display unit 40 shifts from the standby state shown in FIG. 3A to the power-off state shown in FIG. 3C, and the display unit 40 does not consume power. The above step S130 is performed when an operation for opening the door of the vehicle is performed but the driver does not board the driver's seat. Such a situation occurs when the door of the vehicle is opened but the driver's seat is not boarded and the luggage in the vehicle is taken out. In this case, since the drive of the display unit 40 is stopped without supplying power for displaying a screen on the display unit 40, unnecessary power is not consumed.

(3) Other embodiments:
The above embodiment is an example for carrying out the present invention, and various other embodiments can be adopted as long as power consumption can be suppressed by returning from the standby state when necessary. For example, in the state control device described above, each of the door opening signal receiving unit 20, the seating sensor 21, and the steering sensor 22 is controlled by the ECU. Of course, the door opening signal receiving unit 20 and the seating sensor 21 are controlled. The steering sensor 22 and the guidance ECU may be configured by a common ECU.

  In addition, the above-described door opening signal receiving unit 20 is configured to receive a radio signal transmitted to the vehicle, but here it is only necessary to determine that an operation for opening the vehicle door has been performed. As the door opening signal, a door open detection signal or the like for detecting that the door is opened may be used.

  Furthermore, the standby state only needs to consume less power than the normal state. When the guidance control means is realized by a device such as a processor, a memory, a hard disk, or a drawing chip, not all functions can be used. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which a state in which power consumption is suppressed by stopping the function is set to a standby state. For example, either or both of the OS and the application program are set so that the power supply to any one (or combination) of the processor, memory, hard disk, drawing chip, etc. is stopped or the processor can be driven immediately. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which a state in which power supply to some devices is stopped after the writing is set to a standby state is used.

  If the guidance control means is driven without limiting the functions other than the screen display in a state where the screen display is not performed on the display unit 40, it is possible to quickly shift to the normal state only by displaying the screen. Reduction of electric power and high-speed state transition can be realized. In any case, an object to be supplied with power in the standby state may be appropriately selected according to the power to be suppressed and the time required for shifting from the standby state to the normal state. In addition, various configurations can be employed for driving in the standby state, and devices to be driven in the standby state are registered in advance, and only the pre-registered devices are driven in the standby state. It is possible to adopt a configuration or the like.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the driving position setting screen is displayed on the display unit 40 on the assumption that the driving position is likely to be set immediately after the driver is seated and grips the steering wheel. Various other targets may be assumed as the guidance target by the guidance control unit 33. For example, guidance for using a desired function in a vehicle such as mirror angle adjustment, guidance by a navigation system, a screen for setting for listening to music, and a desired function may be provided. It may be a guide that displays a general-purpose menu screen for selection. According to the above configuration, various types of guidance can be implemented after the transition from the standby state to the normal state, and guidance with high operability can be realized while reducing power consumption.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a configuration is employed in which the seating sensor detects the seating and the display unit 40 displays the screen when the steering sensor detects that the steering wheel is gripped. A configuration may be adopted in which the screen is switched step by step based on the detection result by. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of screen transition in a configuration in which the screen 41 is switched stepwise based on the detection result of each sensor.

  This configuration can be realized by modifying the flowchart shown in FIG. 2 in the same configuration as that of FIG. That is, in this embodiment, when it is determined in step S115 that seating in the driver's seat has been detected, the standby state is shifted to the normal state, and the guidance control unit 33 performs function selection as shown in FIG. 4B. A setting screen for displaying is displayed on the display unit 40. Note that the screen 41 illustrated in FIG. 4B is a screen for instructing to use each function of audio, driving position, and navigation, and buttons for selecting each function are displayed. The guidance control unit 33 receives an input operation on the screen 41 and performs guidance for using the corresponding function.

  Further, while performing this process, the same determination as in step S120, that is, a process of determining whether or not the steering wheel is gripped is performed. When it is determined that the steering wheel has been gripped, a driving position setting screen is displayed on the display unit 40 to guide the setting. According to the above configuration, while the driver is seated in the driver's seat and the power consumption is reduced in the standby state, the screen is changed according to the driver's operation after the driver is seated in the driver's seat. Thus, it is possible to display a screen according to the driver's movement, and the usability can be improved. Of course, in the above example, the order of step S115 and step S120 may be interchanged. Further, only one of the seating sensor 21 and the steering sensor 22 may be used. For example, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, when seating is detected by the seating sensor 21 in step S115, a configuration in which step S125 is performed without performing step S120, or equivalent to step S120 without performing step S115. It is possible to employ a configuration in which step S125 is performed when the steering sensor 22 detects a steering grip in step S120.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, it is also possible to configure to display an appropriate screen according to the state of the driver while reducing power consumption. FIG. 5 shows a driving position setting screen displayed on a vehicle equipped with a seating sensor for detecting seating on a driver's seat and a steering sensor for detecting contact with a steering as a boarding detection sensor. It is configured to acquire the trigger.

  The configuration shown in FIG. 5 is a configuration in which the door opening signal receiving unit 20 and the door ECU 20a are omitted from the configuration shown in FIG. In addition, the guidance ECU 30 is configured to implement the boarding detection unit 311 instead of the door opening signal reception unit 31, the state control unit 32 is omitted, and the driving position setting screen display unit 330 is configured instead of the guidance control unit 33. To do. The driving position setting screen display unit 330 controls the display of the display unit 40 based on the detection result by the boarding detection unit 311.

  In this configuration, the boarding detection unit 311 performs the processing shown in FIG. 6 in any state before displaying a screen on the display unit 40, or when another screen is displayed on the display unit 40, and the boarding detection sensor. Detection by is accepted. That is, a signal output from the seat ECU 21a is acquired to determine whether or not the driver has been seated on the seat (step S115), and a signal output from the steering ECU 22a is acquired. Thus, it is determined whether or not the steering wheel is gripped (step S120).

  If it is determined in step S115 that the seat has been seated, and if it is determined in step S120 that the steering wheel has been gripped, the driving position setting screen display unit 330 displays a driving position setting screen on the display unit 40 ( Step S125). As a result, a screen similar to FIG. 3B is displayed on the display unit 40, and the driver can set the driving position.

  This driving position setting does not have to be displayed when the driver is not in the driver's seat, so unnecessary power can be obtained by performing the process of displaying the screen in conjunction with the detection of boarding as described above. It becomes possible to suppress consumption. Further, by performing the process shown in FIG. 6 in an arbitrary state, it is possible to display the driving position setting screen in a state where the possibility of setting the driving position is high. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, when the driver sits in the driver's seat and grasps the steering wheel, it is assumed that the driver position is likely to be set in the driver's state, and the driving position setting screen is displayed. To do.

  According to this configuration, it is not necessary to perform a complicated operation to display the driving position setting screen, it is possible to perform extremely easy operation guidance, and the predetermined screen is switched according to the driver's state. It becomes possible. In addition, the above structure is an example, and here, the order of step S115 and step S120 can be changed, and only one of the seating sensor 21 and the steering sensor 22 may be used. For example, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which one of steps S115 and S120 is performed and step S125 is performed when detection by the sensor is performed.
