Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate handling by deciding on the voice pattern of an input voice command and driving an actuator. CONSTITUTION:Command signals inputted by voicing from respective microphones M1-M3 of a vehicle are read in through an AD converter 5, and a voice analysis processor 7 analyzes their contents and also decide on whether they are already registered in a pattern memory 6 or not. The results are inputted to a host computer 14 through a system interface 8 and a control signal is supplied to a driver 13 which drives the actuator 10, etc., of a door 9. For this purpose, a keyboard 16 for voice registration is provided, and its keys are operated during the voice registration to register command voice patterns from the microphones M1-M3 in said pattern memory 6 as data analyzed by said voice analysis processor 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vehicle control system that automatically opens and closes an opening/closing section in a vehicle.

In general, recent driving vehicles such as automobiles are required to be easy to use in addition to driving performance, safety, and comfort.The present invention has been developed with particular consideration to ease of use. A door in a vehicle such as a car.

This invention provides a novel vehicle control system that automatically opens and closes an opening/closing part such as a trunk using voice commands. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. I will explain in detail.

In the vehicle control system according to the present invention, as shown in the figure, a microphone M1 is attached to the outside of the vehicle body near the door on the driver's seat side, a microphone M2 is also attached to the outside of the unit near the trunk. Under the control of the microphone M3 installed in the vehicle interior and the system controller 4, each microphone Ml, M2.

M3 also reads the command number 1g input by voice through the all-analog interface (AD converter) 5, interprets the contents of the voice command, and determines whether the voice pattern of the command has been registered in the pattern memory 6 in advance. The voice processing unit 7 performs the processing on the fI 51 and reads the analysis results via the system interface 8.
When registration of the voice command is approved, the actuator 10 of the door 9 or the trunk 11 is activated depending on the contents of the command.
A host computer 14 provides a control signal to a driver 13 that drives an actuator 12. Further, a running sensor 15 is provided to detect whether the vehicle is running or stopped, and the host computer 14
At 1C, all of the test outputs are read in, and when the vehicle is running, a control means is taken to cancel the door or trunk opening command. Furthermore, a voice registration keyhole 1'16 is provided, and when the key is pressed during voice registration, a voice registration command is issued from the host computer 14 to the system controller 4, and in response, the system controller 4 enters the system all voice registration mode. , sonotogi microphone Ml, M2. The voice analysis processing device 7 analyzes the pattern of voice commands input through M3'i.
The data of the analyzed voice pattern is registered in the pattern memory 6.

In the vehicle control system according to the present invention configured in step 5, when a voice command to "open the door" is given to the microphone M1 from outside the vehicle when the vehicle is stopped, the voice pattern of the command is registered in the voice analysis processing device 7. A control command to open the door is issued to the host computer 14 only if it is registered.
The reactuator 10 is driven to completely unlock the door 9 on the driver's seat side and automatically open the door 9. When the vehicle is stopped and a voice command to open the trunk is given to the microphone M2K from outside the vehicle, the opening of the trunk 11 lid is similarly performed by driving the actuator 12. Even when a voice command to “open the door” or “open the trunk” is given to microphone M3 in a single room, the voice pattern of that command is registered.
If the vehicle is running properly, a control command to open the door or trunk is given to the host computer 14 in the same way as in the case described above, but at this time, the host computer 14 in particular determines whether the vehicle is running based on the output state of the running sensor 15. The actuator 1 or 12 is activated to close the door 9 or the trunk 11 only when the vehicle is stopped.
The opening operation is performed to prevent the door 9 or the trunk 11 from opening while the vehicle is running, thereby ensuring safety. Also, say “ into microphone M1 or M3.
By giving the voice command "door close", the door 9 is automatically locked (not required in case of automatic locking mechanism).

In addition, in the above embodiment, only the case where the door and trunk on the driver's side of the vehicle are opened and closed, but all the doors, bonnet, and trunk of the vehicle are opened and closed.
Open and close all openings and closing parts such as the tailgate Roll #
Needless to say, you can make them do the same thing.

According to the vehicle control system according to the present invention, the vehicle control system responds only to the voice commands of pre-registered persons, which helps prevent theft. This allows you to easily open and close doors, trunks, etc. even when the doors and trunk are blocked with luggage.

First, in the vehicle control system according to the present invention, the vehicle is driven via the driver 13 under the control of the host computer 14 in order to ensure the optimal driving position for the person whose voice is registered. For seat position adjustment and steering position adjustment.

Each actuator (not shown) for adjusting the position of the rearview mirror and the Funinda mirror, etc. f: S, microphone M in the vehicle interior
Each M by voice command directed to 3! It would also be easy to have the operator make the adjustment. 7, the host computer 14 is provided with means for individually registering the optimal positions of the seat, steering wheel, rearview mirror, and fender mirror, especially for those registering their voice.
After the voice command to "open the door" is given from outside the vehicle by the person registering the voice at the same time, the engine ignition switch is turned on and each actuator is activated. Let the seat and steering wheel be in the optimal position registered for that person.

It is also possible to automatically position the rearview mirror and fender mirror. Furthermore, when the ignition switch is turned off when the vehicle is stopped, the host computer 14 detects this and moves the seat and steering wheel to and hold the positions for getting in and out of the vehicle. To make riding easier.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the host computer 14 is provided with radio on/off and channel selection functions, and by giving a voice command such as "NHK" to the microphone M3, the contents of the command are transmitted to the voice analysis processing device 7. It is possible to perform automatic radio tuning under the control of the host computer 140 based on the interpretation result. Further, the host computer 14 can be provided with functions for turning on/off the air conditioner and adjusting the temperature, and similarly can be configured to control the drive of the near conditioner by voice commands.

As described above, in the vehicle control system according to the present invention, the entire content of the voice command input from the microphone is interpreted, and
Means for determining whether or not the voice pattern of the command has been registered in advance and outputting a control signal according to the contents of the command only if it has been registered, and an actuator that opens an opening/closing part in the vehicle according to the control signal. It has the excellent advantage of being able to automatically open and close doors, trunks, and other parts of vehicles such as automobiles using voice commands, making it easier to use. have
