BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a component display method and apparatus, and more particularly, to a component display method and apparatus capable of improving the usability of a user. More particularly, to a method of displaying a component for operation of a vehicle module.

Recently, as the service and functionality of the ECU that controls the electrical and electronic systems of automobiles become complicated, it becomes difficult to develop ECU software of the ad-hoc method. In addition, automakers are demanding shorter time-to-market, real-time contract and safety requirements, and effective development costs.

In addition, more and more functions are added to the vehicle, and many functions are required. This requirement has included the requirements of real customers such as vehicle operators and OEMs and social requirements such as ISO 26626. In addition, in terms of cost reduction, the ECU also required many functions. This has inevitably increased the complexity of the vehicle control software. The existing firmware level ECUs were able to satisfy all the functions with assembler code or c code, but now the level of development methodology is not able to cope with the complexity of the above requirements. To address this, the industry has set up a new automotive standard.

AUTOSAR stands for AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture. It is a standard development platform for automobiles, and it is possible to develop automotive application software by the proposed model and open methodology. To this end, various development tools have been proposed, and these development tools support modeling of components, ports, and connectors that make up automotive application software.

However, since the development interface for software components (SWC, SoftWare Component) that developers must develop their own code in the process of development of application software based on AUTO Corporation is complicated and it is difficult to reuse existing code, There is a problem that takes a long time.

In addition, there is a need to verify or migrate the developed components, but it is difficult for the developer to intuitively and easily perform the verification.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a component display method and apparatus that can improve the usability of a component developer.

In addition, the present invention provides a component display method and apparatus that can provide various user interfaces.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of displaying a component, the method comprising: setting a display level of a component; Obtaining structural data including connection information for a plurality of components from a memory; Selecting any one of the plurality of components; And displaying a connection interface with other components based on the selected component on the basis of the structure data and the display level, wherein the number of other components displayed on the connection interface is limited according to the display level .

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a component display device including: a display level setting unit for setting a display level of a component; A storage unit including structure data having connection information for a plurality of components; A controller for selecting any one of the plurality of components and generating a connection interface with other components based on the structured data and the displayed level based on the contacted component; And a display unit for displaying the generated connection interface, wherein the number of other components in the connection interface is limited according to the display level.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the vehicle component and the connection relation can be intuitively grasped by displaying the connection interface.

In particular, the number of components displayed on the connection interface is limited by the display level set, thereby simplifying the display screen and improving the user's visual convenience.

On the other hand, the connection interface can be interlocked with the code editing interface, thereby shortening the development time of the developer.

In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a component display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a component display apparatus 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a controller 110 for controlling the overall operation of the component display apparatus 100, a user interface A storage unit 130 for storing structural data and transferring the structural data to the control unit 110 and a display unit 140 for displaying the connection interface under the control of the control unit 110. [

First, the user interface unit 120 may include a keypad, a button, a touch pad, or a touch screen. The user can operate the user interface unit 120 to input commands related to the component display device 100. [ For example, the user may input display level information to be described later through the user interface unit 120 or input a component to be searched.

If the user interface unit 120 includes a hard key button, the user can input a command related to the component through the push operation of the hard key button. When the user interface unit 120 has a touch screen, the user can touch a soft key of the touch screen to input a command related to the component.

In addition, the user interface unit 120 may include various types of input means, such as a keyboard, a mouse, a scroll key, and a jog key, which can be operated by the user, and the present invention does not limit the scope of the present invention.

Meanwhile, the storage unit 130 may store a program for each data processing and control in the control unit 110, and may store data processed information.

1 illustrates an embodiment in which the storage unit 130 is provided separately from the control unit 110, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. The storage unit 130 may be included in the controller 110.

The storage unit 140 may be a flash memory type, a hard disk type, a multimedia card micro type, a card type memory (for example, SD or XD Memory, etc.), RAM, ROM (EEPROM, etc.), and the like.

In addition, the storage unit 130 may store structure data including information on components for operation of the vehicle module. The structure data may have an ARXML format based on, for example, AUTOSAR.

As described above, AUTOSAR is a standard format for automobile development, and AUTO can operate with RTE (Run Time Environment) or VFB (Virtual Functional Bus). VFB is a software component (SWC) that places many HW control functions, OS functions (Scheduling) and service (watch dog / memory) existing under the existing firmware-based control logic under the VFB, , software components).

Thus, AUTOSAR can be a standard format that enables component-based development for the operation of automotive modules. The component may be a minimal unit of functionality of the vehicle module, and as such a unit may structure the connection between the various vehicle ECUs.

And, AUTO Corporation can use the structure data to represent the connection flow of the data between the components used for such structuring, and the structure data can have the ARXML format. Therefore, the user can designate the connection relation with other ECU through the ARXML format structured data, and it is possible to designate the connection relation of the component with runnable code Reuse becomes easy.

These characteristics make the functionality componentized, allowing the developer to focus on the pure functionality of the application. As a result, developers can reuse, combine, and reconnect many of the requirements for vehicle application system development. For example, many OEMs' testing functions are componentized, and OEM specific requirements may be componentized. As a result, vehicle application system developers can receive components from OEMs in the form of structural data (ARXML) and its libraries, and can create, combine, and test unique components.

In particular, according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to shorten the time required for such manufacturing, combining, and testing through an intuitive and convenient connection interface, facilitating structural data and components and runable code analysis, The convenience can be improved.

The control unit 110 generates a connection interface based on the structure data acquired from the storage unit 130 and the user input through the user interface unit 120, and displays the connection interface through the display unit 140.

The display unit 140 converts the video signal, the data signal, the OSD signal, and the like processed by the control unit 110 into R, G, and B signals, respectively, to generate driving signals, and performs display according to the driving signals. In particular, the display unit 140 may display the connection interface generated by the controller 110. [

The display unit 140 may be a PDP, an LCD, an OLED, a flexible display, a 3D display, or the like.

The display unit 180 may be a touch screen, may be used as an input device in addition to the output device, or may be formed integrally with the user interface unit 120 described above.

The control unit 110 may include a structure data processing unit 111, a connection interface generating unit 112, and a display level setting unit 113 for generating a connection interface as described above.

The structural data processing unit 111 acquires structural data from the storage unit 130 and parses information on a plurality of components for operation of the vehicle module from the structural data and transmits the information to the connection interface generation unit 112.

The structure data may have the ARXML format as described above. Therefore, the structure data processing unit 111 can acquire information on a plurality of components by parsing the ARXML format structure data, and can transmit the parsed structure data to the connection interface generation unit 112. [

Here, the information on the plurality of components includes, for example, a name of each component, a connection relation information between each of the components, an executable object (runnable) included in each component, port information of each component, And the connection information between each runnable and each port.

The display level setting unit 113 sets the display level of the component and transmits the display level to the connection interface generation unit 112. The display level set by the display level setting unit 113 may be set by a user input through the user interface 120. If there is no user input, the display level may be set to a preset default value. For example, the default value of the display level may be 2. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the number of components appearing on the connection interface can be limited according to the set display level.

The connection interface generation unit 112 selects one of the plurality of components and generates a connection interface with other components based on the structure data and the display level based on the contacted component, And controls the display unit 140 to display the generated connection interface.

The connection interface generation unit 112 may acquire the relationship information of the components based on the data processed by the structure data processing unit 111 and may generate a connection interface that graphically displays the relationship information.

In one embodiment, the connection interface may include a search screen for components and runables, a connection relationship screen between components, and an interaction screen with the editing interface. The user can control the connection interface by performing input on each screen of the connection interface through the user interface unit 120. [ To this end, the connection interface generation unit 112 may display at least one of the above-described search screen, connection relation screen, and editing interface in a partial area of the display unit 140. [ Each of the partial areas may be combined in some cases, and may be separated from each other in the form of a window.

On the other hand, the search function included in the connection interface may include a function of displaying a list of components or runables that the user needs based on the ARXML formatted structure data.

In addition, the connection relationship screen display function included in the connection interface may include a function of generating and displaying a connection relationship screen based on the above-described structure data.

In particular, the connection interface generation unit 112 may limit the number of components to be displayed according to the display level described above when creating the connection relationship screen. For example, the connection interface generation unit 112 may display a specific component at one side or center of the connection relation screen, and may control the connection relation screen so that only some components, which are connected by the number of times less than a predetermined display level, can do.

The edit interface display function included in the connection interface immediately displays a code editing interface for the selected component, or includes a code editing interface for the component including the selected runable, and moves the position of the editing interface screen to the selected runablle And the like.

Through such a configuration, the controller 110 displays the connection interface, thereby allowing the developer or the user to intuitively and easily understand ARXML, which is structural data for vehicle development, and improves the development efficiency through a convenient interface, The existing development time required for development can be greatly shortened. Particularly, it is possible to effectively shorten the code development and verification time in the system design for software development and the BSW (basic software) generation step through a graphical user interface (GUI).

FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining a component display method of the component display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a view for schematically explaining a connection relationship interface according to an embodiment of the present invention .

Hereinafter, a component display method according to one embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG.

Referring to FIG. 2, first, the controller 110 acquires structure data (S100).

The control unit 110 may acquire the structure data stored in the storage unit 130. In addition, the control unit 110 can receive the structure data from outside and obtain the structure data.

The structure data may be data in an ARXML format that includes information about the components of the vehicle module as described above. Accordingly, the controller 110 can parse the connection relationship between the components and the configuration information from the acquired structure data.

Then, the control unit 110 sets the display level (S110).

The display level may be determined according to user input through the user interface unit 120. [ In addition, if there is no user input or is set in advance, the controller 110 may arbitrarily set the display level to a preset default value. As described above, the display level may be a limiting variable for easily determining the relationship between components.

Then, the controller 110 selects a component (S120).

The control unit 110 may select a component according to a user input through the user interface unit 120. Also, the controller 110 can select any one of the component lists displayed on the search screen. In addition, the control unit 110 may select any one of the components displayed on the connection interface. In addition, the user may input identification information on a component to be selected through the user interface unit 120. [

Then, the control unit 110 creates a connection interface (S130) and displays the generated connection interface (S140).

The control unit 110 may generate the connection interface based on the acquired structure data and the information about the component, the display level, and display the generated connection interface by controlling the display unit 140. [ The connection interface may include, for example, connection relationship information between a component, a port, and a runnable. An embodiment of such a connection interface screen is shown in Fig.

3 illustrates a connection interface screen of a component display device 100 operating in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the connection interface screen 200 may include a plurality of components 210 to 260, a component connection line 270, a port object 280, and a runnable connection line 290.

The connection interface screen 200 can display and display the respective components 210 to 260 as objects, and can display information about each component in a simplified manner. For example, the connection interface may indicate that the first component 210 is a temperature sensor.

Here, the number of components displayed on the connection interface screen 200 may be limited depending on the display level. 3 shows a case where the wiper controller main component 230 is selected and the display level is set to 2.

The display level may indicate a connection order limit based on the selected component, as described above. For example, the connection interface can only display the selected component itself if the display level is 1. If the display level is 2, the selected component and the components directly connected to the selected component can be displayed together. If the display level is 3, the connection interface screen 200 may display the selected component, the primary connected component, and the secondary connected component together.

Meanwhile, the connection interface screen 200 may represent runnable objects (R1 to R6) included in each component. Runables R1 through R6 may represent function objects that define various functions or operations of each component and may be coded and coupled to data executable on a computer, respectively. The connection interface includes a function for interworking with an editing interface for such a connection, but a detailed description will be given later.

The connection interface screen 200 may include a port object 280 included in each of the components 210 to 260. The port object 280 may represent a data input / output relationship between components. The connection interface screen 200 may indicate a data input / output direction and an execution subject through the form and shape of the port object 280.

In addition, the connection interface screen 200 can display the connections between the components 210 to 260, the runables R 1 to R 6, and the respective ports. For example, the control unit 110 can generate and display the connection interface screen 200 using the component connection line 270, the port object 280, and the runnable connection line 290. As a result, the user can intuitively understand the connection relationship between components, ports, and runables. Even if the number of components increases, the display level limitation allows quick acquisition of necessary information only with respect to specific components.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a component display method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a component display method according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the control unit 110 displays a list of components or runables through the display unit 140 (S200).

The control unit 110 may obtain the structure data through the storage unit 130, obtain the list information of the components or runables based on the structure data, and may generate the list based on the list information. In addition, the controller 110 may display the generated list through the display unit 140. FIG.

In addition, the control unit 110 may display the search screen before displaying the list. The search screen may include a search window for inputting a component or a runable to be searched through the user interface unit 120 by the user. Accordingly, the user can input a search word into the search window displayed on the search screen, and the control unit 110 can display the components or runables corresponding to the input search word on the search screen.

Thereafter, the control unit 110 selects one of the displayed components or the runnable objects in the list (S210).

The controller 110 can select any one component or runable object according to a user input for the search screen or the list screen displayed previously. The component or runnable object may be associated with the operation of the vehicle module and the user may select the component or runnable object associated with the operation of the desired vehicle module via the user interface portion 120. [ For example, the user can perform a component selection by selecting any one of the list of components appearing in the search result.

When the component or the runnable object is selected, the control unit 110 displays the connection interface on the display unit 140 based on the selected component or runnable object (S220).

The control unit 110 may generate a connection interface based on the selected component or runnable object based on the structure data acquired previously and display the generated connection interface by controlling the display unit 140. [ Here, the display level may be specified in advance as a specific value, for example, 1. Accordingly, the control unit 110 can display only the component itself including the component or the runable on the connection interface according to the specified value 1 of the predetermined display level.

Thereafter, the control unit 110 determines whether the display level has been changed (S230).

The control unit 110 can change the display level by user input through the user interface unit 120. [ For example, the control unit 110 may display the display level window on the connection interface, and may perform the display level change according to the user's control command input to the display level window. The controller 110 that has performed the display level change can immediately determine that the display level is changed.

If the display level is changed, the controller 110 changes the number of components of the connection interface according to the changed display level (S240), and displays the regenerated connection interface through the display unit 140 (S250).

For example, when the display level is decreased, the controller 110 may limit the components of the connection interface to the display level, and perform a process of removing some components whose connection degree exceeds the display level.

For example, when the display level is increased, the controller 110 may extend the component of the connection interface to the display level, and perform an operation of adding other components whose connection degree is equal to or lower than the display level.

Through the regenerating operation, the user can set up a component connection relation screen of a desired order, thereby enabling intuitive connection interface display and supporting efficient development.

5 to 9 show a display screen configuration according to the component display method according to another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 5, the display screen of the component display may include a project interface 300. Project interface 300 may include a view menu interface 320 for invoking a connection interface. The view menu interface 320 may include a SWC Search menu associated with a search screen.

The project interface 300 may also include information 310 on AUTOSAR infrastructure data (systemArch.arxml) that includes component information loaded from the storage 130.

6 and 7 show a search screen 330 that appears when the user selects the component search menu. The user can select a component search menu through the user interface 120 and the control unit 110 can display the search screen 330 including the search window 331 described above.

In addition, the controller 110 may display a component or runner list 340 corresponding to the search word input in the search window 331. [ The control unit 110 may display the retrieved component list on the search screen 330 based on the structure data 310. [

The user can then select a desired component from the component list of the search screen 330. [ As shown in FIG. 7, the user-selected component Swcomponent1 350 may be shaded and displayed in a bar shape.

FIG. 8 shows a connection interface 360 displayed based on a component selected by the user. As described above, the connection interface 360 may include information on components, runables, and ports, and may indicate information on each connection relationship.

Also, as shown in FIG. 8, a display level window 370 may be displayed around the connection interface 360. The display level window 370 may be defined according to user input and may be set to a predetermined value. In Fig. 8, the display level is set to one. Accordingly, the connection interface 360 may display only the selected component Swcomponent1.

9 shows a connection interface change when the display level is changed.

As shown in FIG. 9, the display level may be changed according to user input to the display level window. When the display level is changed as described above, the control unit 110 can reproduce and display the connection interface. The left screen shows the connection interface 300a when the display level before change is 1 and the right screen shows the connection interface 300b with the display level changed to 3 and regenerated.

The existing connection interface 300a can limit the component connection degree to be displayed based on the display level, and thus can display only the selected component swcomponent1.

When the display level is changed from 1 to 3 by user input, the controller 110 displays information on the secondary connection component swcomponent 2 and the tertiary connection component swcomponent 3 centered on the selected component swcomponent 1 as the display level and the structure data .

The control unit 110 generates a connection relationship screen between the other components centered on the selected component swcompnent1 according to the information on the acquired components, regenerates the connection interface 300b including the connection relationship screen, 140). ≪ / RTI >

FIG. 10 shows an example of an ARXML format of the structure data used in an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 10, the structure data may have an ARXML format defined by the AUTOSAR standard. The structure data may include each component constituting the vehicle system and its connection relationship information. Thus, the structure data may include a vehicle Descrption defined in AUTOSAR. And the structure data can have the form of ARXML file designated by AUTO. The vehicle system description included in the structural data includes, for example, (1) definition information on a hardware topology, (2) software components (SWCs), runnables, Data flow) information (3) mapping information between a software component and an ECU that directly controls the vehicle electrical component, and (4) information about a communication matrix.

The controller 110 parses the structure data of the ARXML file format to generate the structural data for each of the components of the vehicle system described above, It is possible to acquire various information including information.

Meanwhile, FIG. 11 shows a connection interface when a display method according to another embodiment of the present invention is implemented.

11, the component display device 100 may display the connection interface 400 according to the component display method according to another embodiment of the present invention. The connection interface 400 according to another embodiment of the present invention may include the connection relationship screen 440 and the search screen 420 described above. The search screen 420 may include a list of components or runables 430 and a search window.

As shown in FIG. 11, connection lines between respective components based on the selected component BlinkerActuator may be displayed in the connection relation screen 440, and ports may be located at both ends of the connection line. The shapes and shapes of the ports can represent the input / output relationship of the data and the execution subject.

In addition, as described above, the number of components displayed on the connection relationship screen may be limited according to the display level value displayed in the display level window 410. [ In addition, the size of the component displayed on the connection relation screen may be increased or decreased according to the display level value. For example, when the display level value is larger than the predetermined value, the controller 110 can regenerate the connection interface by reducing the size of the components to be smaller than the existing size. For example, when the display level value becomes smaller than a predetermined value, the controller 110 may increase the size of the components to be larger than the existing size to generate a connection interface. This allows the developer to intuitively recognize multiple components.

12 is a flowchart illustrating a display method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12, the controller 110 displays a connection interface (S300).

As described above, the control unit 110 can generate the connection interface based on the structure data and the display level, and display the connection interface through the display unit 140. [

The controller 110 determines whether there is a selection command for the component (S310).

The control unit 110 may receive a component selection input for the connection interface through the user interface unit 120. [ For example, a user can select a component by clicking or double-clicking the component using a touch input or a mouse input. Accordingly, the code corresponding to the component can be easily edited, and the connection interface and the code editing interface can be interlocked with each other.

If the component is selected, the control unit 110 displays a code editing interface corresponding to the selected component (S320).

The code editing interface may include an interface for editing the code that constitutes the selected component. To this end, the control unit 110 can display the source code corresponding to the selected component in the edit window, and display the cursor together. In one embodiment, the source code may be a code written in C language, but the present invention is not limited to the kind of code language.

Then, the controller 110 determines whether there is a selection command for a runnable (S310).

As described above, the control unit 110 can receive a runnable selection input for the connection interface through the user interface unit 120. For example, a user can select a runnable by clicking or double-clicking a runnable using a touch input or a mouse input.

If runable is selected, the control unit 110 displays a code editing interface corresponding to the selected runable (S320).

Based on the structure data, the control unit 110 can identify a component including the selected runable. Then, the control unit 110 displays a code editing interface corresponding to the selected runable by displaying the code editing interface corresponding to the identified component.

Then, the control unit 110 moves the code editing interface screen to a position corresponding to the selected runable (S350).

Generally, the user has to move and search the entire source code of the component for runable editing. Therefore, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 110 displays the code editing interface for the component and moves the screen to a position corresponding to the selected runable, thereby eliminating the inconvenience described above, Can be improved.

On the other hand, if the component is not selected and the runnable is not selected, the control unit 110 can display the connection interface again and wait for user input.

13 is a diagram illustrating a connection interface displayed by a display method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 13, the connection interface 500 displayed by the display method according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a structure data screen 510, a connection relation screen 520, a code editing interface screen 530, And a search screen 540.

The structure data screen 510 may include a screen showing the structure data of the above-described ARXML format as text.

The connection relationship screen 520 may include a graphical representation of the connection relationship between the component and the runner described above. The user can select a component or runable through user input on the connection relationship screen.
