Description

Apparatus And Method Displaying Menu Icon Of Navigation Using Proximity Sensor}

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for displaying a menu icon of a vehicle navigation apparatus using a proximity sensor. More particularly, the present invention relates to detecting a user's proximity to a vehicle navigation apparatus through a proximity sensor, and accordingly determines whether to display a menu icon of the vehicle navigation apparatus. It relates to an apparatus and a method.

1 is an exemplary view for explaining a menu icon display of a conventional vehicle navigation system. As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional navigation always displays a main icon on a map screen.

Accordingly, when the route set by the user is displayed on the map screen, the invisible part is hidden by the main icon. When the user wants to see the part covered by the main icon, it is inconvenient to perform a separate screen operation such as screen reduction and screen movement.

In addition, when the user is driving, an accident may occur due to the concentration of the user's concentration.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a menu icon display apparatus and method of a vehicle navigation system such that a main icon (menu icon) is displayed on a navigation display screen only when a menu icon is required, such as a navigation function operation. Its purpose is to.

In order to achieve the above object, a menu icon display device of a vehicle navigation according to an aspect of the present invention includes a proximity sensor for detecting the proximity of the user to the screen of the vehicle navigation; And a microcomputer for controlling a menu icon of the vehicle navigation to be displayed on the screen when a detection signal is received from the proximity sensor.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for displaying a menu icon of a vehicle navigation includes: detecting proximity of a user with a screen of the vehicle navigation; And when the proximity of the user is detected, controlling the menu icon of the vehicle navigation to be displayed on the screen.

According to the present invention, the menu icon can be displayed on the screen only when the navigation function is operated, and thus, the display area can be widened at a fixed screen size.

In particular, since the menu icon is not displayed when the movement route is displayed, the readability or visibility of the set movement route may be improved.

2 is a configuration diagram illustrating a menu icon display apparatus of a vehicle navigation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
3 is a block diagram illustrating a menu icon display device of a vehicle navigation apparatus.
4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a menu icon of a vehicle navigation of the present invention.

Advantages and features of the present invention and methods for achieving them will be apparent with reference to the embodiments described below in detail with the accompanying drawings. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. And is intended to enable a person skilled in the art to readily understand the scope of the invention, and the invention is defined by the claims. It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. In the present specification, the singular form includes plural forms unless otherwise specified in the specification. It is noted that " comprises, " or "comprising," as used herein, means the presence or absence of one or more other components, steps, operations, and / Do not exclude the addition.

Hereinafter, a menu icon display apparatus of a vehicle navigation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a menu icon display apparatus of a vehicle navigation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a menu icon display apparatus of a vehicle navigation apparatus.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the apparatus for displaying a menu icon of the vehicle navigation of the present invention includes a proximity sensor 100 and a microcomputer 200.

The vehicle navigation of the present invention will be described by taking an example that the menu icon is not displayed on the screen.

The proximity sensor 100 is mounted near the screen of the vehicle navigation and detects the proximity of the user with the screen. For example, the proximity sensor 100 transmits a detection signal detected by the user to the microcomputer 200 when the user's hand is approached within a preset radius (3 cm) (external event 1).

When the detection signal is received from the proximity sensor 100, the microcomputer 200 controls the menu icon of the vehicle navigation to be displayed on the screen if the result value of the detection signal is 1, and detects the detection signal for a preset time. If is not received, if the result value of the detection signal is 0, the control is performed so that the menu icon is not displayed on the screen.

For example, when the result value of the received detection signal is 1, the microcomputer 200 determines that an external event has occurred, and notifies the vehicle navigation CPU of this. The vehicle navigation CPU sets the menu icon display function of the software GUI functions to 1 through the graphic block to display the menu icon on the screen of the vehicle navigation.

In addition, when the result value of the received detection signal is 0, the microcomputer 200 determines that an external event has not occurred, and notifies the vehicle navigation CPU. The vehicle navigation CPU does not display a menu icon on the screen of the vehicle navigation by setting 0 to the menu icon display function.

By doing so, the present invention enables the menu icon to be displayed on the screen of the vehicle navigation only when the function of the navigation is operated, so that the display area can be widened at a fixed screen size, and in particular, when the movement path is displayed on the display area, the menu icon is displayed. It is possible to improve the readability or visibility of the set movement route.

The screen display apparatus of the vehicle navigation according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, and the method of displaying a menu icon of the vehicle navigation according to an embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIG. 4. . 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a menu icon of a vehicle navigation according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, a map is displayed on the screen of the vehicle navigation without a menu icon (S410).

The screen detects whether the user, that is, the user's hand is close to within a predetermined radius (3 cm) (S420).

When the user's hand is detected within the radius, the result value of the detection signal is output as 1, and if not detected, the result value of the detection signal is output as 0 (S430).

When the result value of the detection signal is 1, a menu icon is displayed on the screen of the vehicle navigation in which the map is displayed (S440).

If the result of the detection signal is 0, the process returns to step S410.

Although the configuration of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings, this is only an example, and various modifications are possible within the scope without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited by the illustrated embodiments, but should be determined by the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
