Description

Navigation device combined with artificial intelligence companion module {Vehicle mounted type Artificial intelligence companion module Navigation device}

The present invention relates to a vehicle-installed voice recognition navigation device that is installed inside a vehicle and guides driving information to a driver according to a driver's voice command.

In general, a navigation device maps its own location measured using a GPS (Global Positioning System) with map data, receives the location of a destination from the user and searches for a route to that destination, and maps the searched route to the map data. It is a device that displays on and performs directions along such a route.

Currently, most navigation devices have to repeatedly touch and input a button displayed on the touch screen screen several times or more in order to input a name or address, which causes the user to feel cumbersome during such a repeated touch process, and the process of manipulating it while driving. There was a problem in that an accident occurred without being able to look around.

Accordingly, a voice recognition navigation system in which a command can be input through a user's voice and motion rather than a touch has been developed and used.

However, conventional voice recognition navigation has technical limitations that are limited to simple phoneme, voice analysis, word recognition, etc. in its voice recognition method, and is vulnerable to inaccurate or ambient noise, and a microphone for voice recognition and a speaker for voice guidance. There was an inconvenience of having to design in consideration of the installation location in order to prevent interference while being provided in one body. In addition to the microphone and speaker inside the navigation, display related parts, GPS related parts, power parts, AP (application processor) , As many parts, such as degradation of battery performance, are accommodated, the size of the device increases, resulting in a decrease in fabrication and maintenance efficiency.

Components constituting the control device 300 may be accommodated and configured in the housing 310, and the size or shape of the housing 310 need not be determined by any one, and in the present invention, it is illustrated as a cylinder.

The housing 310 may have speaker holes 320 formed on opposite sides of the housing 310, and a terminal portion 370 may be formed at a lower portion of one side so that a power input terminal, a line-out terminal, and a USB terminal may be connected. A heat dissipation hole may be formed.

Meanwhile, a cradle fixing part 330 may be formed on the bottom surface of the housing 310, and the cradle fixing part 330 may be detachably connected to the cradle body.

Therefore, in a state in which the cradle body is fixed in advance on the dashboard or in the vehicle desired by the user, the control device 300 can be rotated and reversely rotated by using the cradle fixing part 330 on the cradle body as needed. will be.

Here, a recessed receiving groove 331 is formed in the center of the cradle fixing part 330, and by installing a friction member 340 such as an adhesive gel in the receiving groove 331, the cradle fixing part ( When 330 is fixed to the cradle body, the friction member 340 has adhesiveness on the surface of the cradle body and is brought into contact with frictional force, thus preventing the cradle fixing unit 330 from being unnecessarily reversed and separated from the cradle body. It can be done.

In addition, one side of the housing 310 may be provided with a SIM slot groove 350, the inside of the housing 310 is provided with a SIM socket that is circuitly connected to the control unit, and the SIM socket that enters and exits the inside and outside of the SIM socket The card mounting guide 360 may be configured to enter and exit through the SIM slot groove 350.

Therefore, the user can use the navigation device for its original purpose, but by attaching the SIM card to the SIM socket, various additional functions such as means of mobile communication, storage space such as address book, banking service, payment means such as highway tolls, etc. It can also be configured to have.

The connection part 200,

The above-described display device 100 and the control device 300 are connected, and the height or angle of the display device 100 can be adjusted from the fixed control device 300.

One end of the connection part 200 is fixed through a slide hole 112 formed in the center of the rear of the cover member 110 of the display device 100, and the other end of the connection part 200 is the housing 310 of the control device 300. ) It is fixed through the front center.

The slide hole 112 formed in the center of the rear surface of the cover member 110 may be in the shape of a long hole having a long axis in the vertical direction and a short axis in the left and right direction, which may be variously modified such as a rectangular shape.

The display device 100 may be simply fixed while maintaining a predetermined distance in front of the control device 300, but it is preferable that the position and angle are adjusted through the connection part.

In the embodiment, a slide guide with an open lower side in an approximately "∩" shape is installed in the inside of the cover member 110 to move the connection part 200 up and down, and the slide hole ( 112) and the open front of the slide guide match each other.

In addition, a slide 210 is formed at one end of the connection part 200 so that both sides are supported by the inner inner surface of the slide guide by being inserted into the open front of the slide guide.

At this time, so that the slide 210 can be moved step by step along the slide guide, guide grooves in which mountains and valleys are continuous in a wave shape are continuously formed on the inner inner surfaces of the slide guide facing each other. On the side surface, one or more guide protrusions are formed so as to be moved and fixed stepwise along the vertical direction through an external force in a state in contact with the guide groove of the slide guide.

Here, it is preferable that the slide 210 further includes a cut groove in the horizontal direction so that the guide protrusion can be elastically moved along the guide groove when the slide 210 is moved along the slide guide.

In addition, the shortened length of the slide hole 112 on the outer circumference of one side of the connection part 200 so that the position of the connection part 200 can be fixed at the moved point while the slide 210 is moved along the slide guide. By screwing the fixing ring 230 having a larger diameter, when the fixing ring 230 is moved to the slide hole 112 by fastening the fixing ring 230, the fixing ring 230 and the slide hole 112 are in contact. As such, it is possible to prevent unnecessary movement of the slide 210 having a fixed position in the guide groove of the slide guide.

And, when moving the slide 210 again for height adjustment, release the fixing ring 230 so that the fixing ring 230 is spaced apart from the slide hole 112, and then move the slide 210 along the guide groove of the slide guide. If you move it, you can adjust the position of the joint again.

On the other hand, in an embodiment for adjusting the angle of the connection part 200, a sphere 220 is formed at the other end of the connection part 200, a hole is formed in the front surface of the housing 310, and then the connection part 200 through the hole. By inserting the sphere 220 of the housing 310 and inserting the sphere 220 on the inner circumference of the annular linker 380 located inside the front of the housing 310, but only a part of the tip of the sphere 220 is fitted, the sphere of the connector 200 (220) can be rotated freely 360 degrees in the state inserted into the linker burr 380.

In addition, while a protrusion is formed in the sphere 220 of the connection part 200, when the sphere 220 is rotated within the linker bur 380, the sphere 220 may be prevented from rotating more than a specific angle.

In the present invention, the navigation device is configured to be separated into the display device 100 and the control device 300, and the display device 100 and the control device 300 are connected through the connection part 200, and from the control device 300 As the display device 100 is configured to be able to adjust the height as well as the angle, the display device 100 equipped with the voice receiving unit is as close as possible to the user to increase the user's voice recognition rate, and the display device is safe and comfortable for the user. You can check the video played on the device, and as the sound generator is provided in the control device sufficiently separated from the voice receiver, the size and location of the sound generator can be variously designed, and the cradle body fixed to the installation surface of the vehicle is controlled.
