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

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a HMI switch for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing a pin-screen deformation control method in a HMI switch for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing a pin-screen operation mode in an automotive HMI switch according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the vehicular HMI switch has a flat shape when not in use, and can be changed to various surface shapes at the time of use. Thus, various HMIs can be realized according to the functions of the vehicle or the user's preference. .

To this end, a plurality of linear actuators 10 are incorporated to convert the surface into a concavo-convex shape. In addition, a sensor device 11, which can detect the operation of the user's surface, A screen 12 is provided.

The pin screen 12 has a structure in which a plurality of linear actuators 10 are arranged in a standing state in a screen frame 16 formed in a substantially rectangular box shape installed on one side of a driver's seat, Is filled in the screen frame 16 in a densely packed manner.

The upper ends of the linear actuators 10 arranged in this manner form one plane, and this plane maintains a flat shape when not in use. In use, when the linear actuators 10 selected from among the linear actuators 10 It is possible to display a predetermined concavo-convex shape by the operation.

That is, by controlling the motor 17 of the linear actuator 10 in the ECU 14, it is possible to form a concavo-convex shape on the surface of the pin screen 12. [

Here, the linear actuator 10 operates in such a manner as to vary the vertical position of the pin 18 by controlling the motor 17, and the amount of displacement can be sensed by a built-in potentiometer (not shown).

A sheet screen 15 made of a soft and flexible material, for example, a silicone material, is fixed to the surface of the pin screen 12 by an adhesive for the sake of the user's operation. When the surface shape of the pin screen 12 is changed, the same surface shape corresponding thereto can be changed.

In the case of the surface of the sheet screen 15 covering the surface of the pin screen 12, it becomes possible to coat the projected image of the projector 13 with a highly reflective material which is easy to radiate.

Further, the sensor device 11 is provided as means for detecting a contact (pressing) signal built in the pin screen 12 and operated by the user.

The sensor device 11 is a sensor for detecting the user's operation in various types and providing the detection signal to the ECU 14. The sensor device 11 is a displacement sensor type that detects that the pin screen 12 is pushed by a user's operation, A type having a displacement sensor for detecting the input when the user manipulates the screen surface or a type for detecting the output value of the potentiometer built in the linear actuator 10, or the like.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, as a method of detecting the operation of the user, detection by an output value of a potentiometer built in a linear actuator (detecting the manipulated amount of the potentiometer output signal of the imprinted pin Method), or a method of detecting on a flexible touch sheet, that is, on a sheet screen (a method of touching and sensing a displacement sensor provided on the surface of a sheet screen, which is a freely deformable touch screen).

In addition, a projector 13 for projecting the HMI image on the pin screen 12 is provided at one side of the ceiling of the car interior, for example, at the upper position of the pin screen 12. [

The projector 13 receives an HMI image source from the ECU 14 and projects a video of the corresponding HMI, for example, an AVN switch image, to the pin screen 12.

Thus, when the HMI image source is input from the ECU 14 to the projector 13, the projector 13 at this time projects the HMI switch image corresponding to the inputted HMI image source onto the pin screen (sheet screen) , And then the HMI switch image can be displayed on the sheet screen 13.

As a result, the projecting shape can be made to fit the HMI switch image shown on the sheet screen 13 in this manner.

In particular, the ECU 14 is provided as a means for controlling the pin screen 12, the projector 13, etc., that is, means for controlling the system in a general manner and outputting operation information.

The ECU 14 outputs the HMI image source for projection of the HMI image to the projector 13 and outputs a signal for the operation of the linear actuator 10 in the pin screen 12, (Not shown) to the HMI image, and also receives the operation amount detection data of the sensor device 11 obtained from the user's operation, And serves to output a control signal.

Therefore, the concavo-convex shape of the surface of the pin screen 12, substantially the surface of the sheet screen 15 can be freely changed according to the HMI image signal projected from the projector 13 under the control of the ECU 14. [

4 is a schematic view showing a shape modification process of the HMI switch for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 4, an operation example of the AVN system is shown here.

The operation of the AVN system can be started by operating a separate AVN switch (not shown) provided in the vehicle.

When the user operates the AVN switch, this signal causes the ECU 14 to output the HMI image source corresponding to the AVN switch to the projector 13 and at the same time the projector 13 displays the image of the AVN switch on the lower sheet screen 15, and the AVN switch image can be drawn on the surface of the sheet screen 15 at this time.

Here, the ECU 13 stores switch images of various devices and deformation control data of the pin screens corresponding to the respective switch images. When the corresponding switch signals are inputted, the ECU 13 is connected to the projector 13 side and the pin screen 12 side Images and data can be output.

Accordingly, the switch image (image displayed on the pin screen) projected from the projector 13 and the switch protrusion shape formed by the pin screen 12 can be changed in various ways.

At the same time, the ECU 14 outputs the deformation control data corresponding to the AVN switch to the pin screen 12, and accordingly, according to the operation of each linear actuator 10 of the pin screen 12, ), That is, on the surface of the sheet screen 15, an uneven shape conforming to the AVN switch image is formed.

Accordingly, the driver can operate while touching the three-dimensional AVN switch protruding from the front view without moving his / her eyes in the front view by hand. At this time, the driver's operation signal, for example, The detection signal of the detected displacement sensor is input to the ECU 14, and the output control of the ECU 14 enables the AVN system to be operated according to the driver's operation.

On the other hand, when the HMI switch is not operated even during the use of the AVN system, the projector 13 and the pin screen 12 can be kept in a deactivated state, for example, an image projection interruption and a flat state, When it is proximate or touched on the pin screen 12, it can be sensed by the sensor means and switched to the active state again.

Therefore, in the operation example of the AVN system, when the AVN system is turned off, the HMI switch 100 is in a flat shape, and the projector 13 is also turned off (a).

When the AVN system is woken up, the HMI switch 100 starts to be deformed. At this time, the projector 13 is also turned on, but the image is not projected.

When the AVN system is turned ON (displayed), the HMI switch 100 completes the transformation, and the projector 13 is also turned ON while the HMI switch image is being projected, A suitable protruding shape is formed (C).

As described above, in the present invention, by implementing a new HMI switch including a pin screen capable of freely changing the surface shape, a projector for projecting an HMI image on a pin screen in a ceiling, an EDU for system overall control and operation information output, It is possible to freely change or select the HMI according to the user's preference, degree, and user's preference, thereby providing convenience to the user and securing the merchantability of the product.
