Description

Vehicle call device using touch screen

The present invention relates to a vehicle call apparatus using a touch screen, and more particularly, to a vehicle call apparatus that can input a telephone number or the like through a display unit provided with a touch screen in a vehicle having a navigation apparatus.

The development of mobile communication is applied without exception to a vehicle, which is one of transportation means. Various mobile communication means are being used in a vehicle, from a fixed-mounted vehicle telephone to a driver's or passenger's mobile phone.

The mobile communication means such as a vehicle telephone, a mobile phone, etc. are increasing in number due to the convenience that the user can communicate with a desired person while driving the vehicle, but side effects are also generated. That is, when using the vehicle phone or mobile phone while driving the vehicle, it is easy to neglect the front gaze, and there is a problem of generating a potential factor of a traffic accident such as holding the steering wheel only with one hand.

In addition, the key buttons of the car phone and mobile phone are becoming smaller in size, the width of the left, right, left and right of less than 1 cm, respectively, it was not easy to operate the key button while watching the front while driving the vehicle.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle communication apparatus using a touch screen so as to easily input a phone number and a function key while driving a vehicle.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle communication device capable of making a call even while looking at the front while holding a steering wheel.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a vehicle equipped with a navigation device, and outputs a mode selection guide screen in response to the mode selection instruction signal, and a display unit for outputting a call guide screen in response to the telephone mode output signal; ; The display unit includes a touch screen for outputting a call mode signal or a number key signal corresponding to a location where a user touches; A vehicle call unit which performs a corresponding telephone function in response to an input of a telephone function indication signal; And a controller for outputting a telephone function instruction signal and a dial signal to the vehicle call unit in response to a call mode signal and a number key signal output from the touch screen after outputting a mode selection instruction signal.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present invention, if it is determined that the detailed description of the related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a block diagram of a vehicle communication apparatus using a touch screen according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing a mode selection guide screen of the display unit is installed, according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 Is a schematic diagram showing a call guide screen of a display unit provided with a touch screen according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a partial perspective view showing a handset and a receiver according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a vehicle communication apparatus according to a feature of the present invention includes a display unit 10, a touch screen 20, a vehicle communication unit 30, and a controller 60.

The display unit 10 outputs a preset mode selection guide screen in response to the mode selection instruction signal output from the controller 60, and then, when a telephone mode output signal is output from the controller 60, a preset call in response thereto. Print the guide screen. The display unit 10 is composed of a monitor such as a TFT-LCD display or a CRT display, and a touch screen 20 is installed on the front of the monitor.

The touch screen 20 is a transparent plate-shaped switch, and when a user's finger touches a position corresponding to a message of a screen output on the monitor, the touch screen 20 outputs a signal set at the position. When the call guidance screen is displayed on the monitor screen of the display unit 10, the touch screen 20 outputs a call mode signal or a number key signal corresponding to the position where the user's finger touches.

As shown in FIG. 2, a telephone selection box 22 is additionally formed on the mode selection screen 100, which is the initial screen of the display unit of the navigation device. The telephone selection field 22 updates and sets the mode selection image file stored in the ROM of the controller.

When the driver or passenger who sees the mode selection screen 100 places a finger on the telephone selection box 22, the call guidance screen 200 is output on the display monitor of the navigation device as shown in FIG. 3. The call guide screen 200 is provided with a function key 24 and a phone number key 26, which are set by additionally storing a call guide image file in a ROM of the controller.

The vehicle call unit 30 performs a corresponding telephone function in response to a telephone function indication signal input from the controller 60. The vehicle communication unit 30 is composed of a radio having a radio control circuit for carrying out an incoming signal processing or the like for executing radio communication with a radio base station, a combined transceiver, a transceiver, a receiver, and a separate telephone controller. (The radio and the telephone controller are not shown)

The handset 32 and the handset 34 in accordance with aspects of the present invention attach to the filler surface of the vehicle interior, as shown in FIG. 4 shows an embodiment attached to the surface of the center pillar 60, but may be attached to the A pillar or the like in consideration of the model of the vehicle and the boarding position of the main user of the telephone. As the handset 32 and the handset 34 are attached to the filler surface of the vehicle interior, the driver can make a call even while holding the handle after inputting a phone number. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the risk of traffic accidents that may arise from the conventional hand holding the handle and one hand holding the handset. The handset and the handset are each composed of a microphone and a speaker.

The control unit 60 outputs a mode selection instruction signal during operation of the navigation device, and responds to a call mode signal and a number key signal output from the touch screen 20, and performs a telephone function set to the vehicle call unit 30. Outputs the telephone function indication signal and the corresponding dial signal to be performed.

If a general navigation operation signal such as a destination setting signal is input from the touch screen 20, the corresponding process is performed according to the navigation program masked in the ROM. That is, the controller 60 may set navigation basics such as setting an optimal route from the current position of the vehicle to the destination based on the vehicle driving information input from the current position calculating unit 40 and the map information accessed from the map information storing unit 50. Perform the process.

As described above, the vehicle communication apparatus using the touch screen according to the embodiment of the present invention can input a phone number and a function key through the touch screen even while driving the vehicle, thereby eliminating inconvenience caused by using a mobile phone while driving. .

In addition, the vehicle communication device using the touch screen according to the embodiment of the present invention has the effect of removing the risk factors during the vehicle driving caused by the front end of the US due to the operation of the mobile phone.
