A well-known interior lighting unit according to industrial design RU No. 109525, MKPO: 26-06, the patent owner is PJSC AvtoVAZ.

The new interior lighting unit has two lighting shades with two control buttons (for driver and passenger), as well as an ERA-GLONASS emergency call button.

The closest analogue in terms of technical essence and functional purpose, taken as a prototype, is the ERA-VESTA device - an emergency call system, abbreviated as SVEOS, manufactured by NLP ITELMA LLC, Moscow according to TU 4573-175-89547853- 2018. The terminal complies with the requirements of the ERA-GLONASS system and is used as standard equipment by car manufacturers.

The interior lighting unit (BOS) is located in the ceiling of the car. In addition to the lighting itself, this block includes elements of the emergency response system:

microphone;

speaker;

emergency call key;

emergency response system status indicator.

The in-vehicle emergency call system is intended for automatic (in case of an accident) and manual call to the operator of the ERA-GLONASS system. The microphone and loudspeaker are used to communicate with the operator of the ERA-GLONASS system.

In the standby mode (with the ignition on), the system performs self-diagnostics, receives signals from the GLONASS and GPS navigation satellite systems, constantly calculates time, speed, direction of movement and coordinates of the vehicle's location.

In case of an accident, if the airbags deployed, the system generates a minimum data set containing information about the coordinates and parameters of the car’s movement at the time of the accident, the time of the accident, the vehicle’s VIN code and other information necessary for emergency response, and transfers it to the system operator “ ERA-GLONASS. After the transfer of the minimum data set, the operator is dialed for voice communication. During the dialing to the operator, the backlight of the "SOS" key flashes red. When transferring a minimum set of data and during voice communication with the operator, the backlight of the SOS key is constantly lit in red. When making voice communication, the system turns off the sound reproduction of the multimedia system.

In addition to automatic operation in case of an accident, the system has a manual call function.

The car device recognizes and transmits the direction of the impact (frontal, side, rear), and its strength. Then, through the Glonass and GPS satellites, it determines the coordinates and gets in touch with the contact center via the emergency call line. The amount of transmitted information includes information about the car (numbers, color, type of fuel) and the condition of the participants in the movement (whether there was an airbag deployment).

The ERA-GLONASS system includes the following components:

terminal block (ECU) ERA-GLONASS;

microphone and loudspeaker;

button for calling the operator of the ERA-GLONASS system with a non-fixed position (SOS button);

ERA-GLONASS system status indicator (red symbol).

On the LADA VESTA car, the ERA-GLONASS unit is installed on the bracket of the instrument panel cross member behind the glove box.

Thus, the microphone, loudspeaker, operator call button and system status indicator are structurally located in the interior lighting unit (BOS).

The disadvantage of the device is:

the inability to start self-diagnosis by the driver, self-diagnosis starts when the ignition is turned on;

no indication of unfastened seat belts;

the microphone is located on a separate board, which creates inconvenience when it is installed in the device case and reduces the reliability of the system.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to reduce the number of connectors and increase the reliability of the system, ensuring the independent operation of the product modules: the ability of the audio card module to operate normally in the event of a malfunction of the lighting module and vice versa; the ability to import the interior lighting unit as an independent product without an audio card module.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in the well-known vehicle interior lighting unit, which consists of a collapsible housing with shades and lighting control buttons, which contains two independent electronic modules - the main electronic module and the audio board module with a microphone (in the prototype, the microphone was located on a separate board), ceiling lamps are made with the ability to adjust the brightness of the lighting. The interior lighting unit can function without the audio card module as an independent product.

The interior lighting unit performs the functions of general interior lighting, illumination of the driver's seat and front passenger seat, and functions of communication with the operator of the ERA-GLONASS system.

To implement the function of communication with the operator of the TCS "ERA-GLONASS", the telecommunications system "ERA-GLONASS" is intended, which performs automatic (in the event of an accident) and manual calls to the operator of the emergency operational service (operator). To communicate with the operator of the ERA-GLONASS system, a microphone and a speaker are used.

BOS is a ready-to-install product, which, in addition to the interior lighting function, includes microphones, a loudspeaker and indicators.

In the car, the warning device is mounted in the interior lighting unit above the driver's head. At the top right and left are the microphone and loudspeaker. Below in the center are the SOS emergency call button and the button for checking the operation of the emergency call system. On the sides there is a button for turning on the lamp of the ceiling light when the passenger compartment door is open and a button for turning on the lamps of the ceiling light. The in-vehicle emergency call system buttons are under a protective glass, which makes it impossible to confuse them with interior lighting buttons. There are indicators of a seat belt, airbags, ERA-GLONASS health status. It is possible to regulate the lighting of the driver's seat, front passenger.

The main novelty of the patented product lies in the fact that the microphone is included in the audio board module, which communicates with the ERA-GLONASS (BEG) unit, and in the prototype it is the microphone that is placed on a separate board.

BOS works from the vehicle's on-board network.

The speaker provides two-way voice communication between the driver of the vehicle and the dispatcher.

Thus, the vehicle interior lighting unit (BOS) is designed to:

1. lighting the front of the car;

2. information support of the system of emergency warning about road accidents;

3. indication of unfastened seat belts and indication of deactivation of the front airbag;

4. prompt receipt of information on traffic and other accidents on highways in the Russian Federation based on the use of GLONASS signals; processing this information by supplementing it with information about the vehicle; transfer of the processed information to the system for providing emergency calls to the single number "112" or, in the absence of such a system in the subject of the Russian Federation, to the state body of this subject of the Russian Federation authorized to organize centralized processing of calls to emergency in-vehicle services, or an organization that performs centralized processing of calls to emergency operational services in this constituent entity of the Russian Federation, or, in the absence of the specified body or organization, to the emergency operational services of this constituent entity of the Russian Federation, as well as interaction with the automated information system of compulsory insurance, created in accordance with Article 30 of the Federal Law dated April 25, 2002 No. 40-FZ "On Compulsory Insurance of Civil Liability of Vehicle Owners";

5. provision of information posted in the system and processed information about road traffic and other accidents on roads in the Russian Federation, on emergency response measures taken, on their timeliness and effectiveness to state bodies, local governments, officials, legal entities, individuals ;

6. solving other problems in the field of receiving, processing, storing and transmitting information not related to traffic and other accidents on roads in the Russian Federation, including for commercial purposes, (clause 3 was introduced by Federal Law No. 235-FZ dated July 13, 2015).

Advantages of the car interior lighting unit with the function of communication with the operator of the Era-Glonass system:

1. The microphone is installed on the audio board module, which reduces the number of connectors and improves system reliability;

2. it is possible to adjust the brightness of the backlight with the help of shades;

3. independent operation of the product modules is ensured: in case of a malfunction of the lighting module, the audio card module continues to work in the normal mode and vice versa;

4. the possibility of importing the interior lighting unit as an independent product without an audio card module.

The utility model is illustrated by the following illustrations:

Fig. 1 - Vehicle interior lighting unit with the function of communication with the operator of the ERA-GLONASS system;

Fig. 2 - BOS (front view);

Fig. 3 - BOS (rear view).

The car interior lighting unit consists of a collapsible body, including a front panel 1, cover 2, lighting shades 3, protective glass 4. The electronic part of the product includes the main electronic module 5, the audio card module 6 and the keyboard 7. Under the protective glass 4 there is a test button operation of the emergency call system 8 and the emergency call button "SOS" 9. To the right and left are respectively the button for turning on the lamp of the ceiling light when the passenger compartment door is open 10 and the button for turning on the lamps of the ceiling light 11. When pressed briefly, the ceiling lamps perform the function of adjusting the brightness of the lighting. Speaker 12 and indication zone 13 are located above the plafonds (indicators of deactivation of the airbag, seat belts not fastened, in-vehicle emergency call status and backup indicators). The BOS contains a connector for connection in the ERA-GLONASS system 14 and a connector for connection in the vehicle system 15.

The car interior lighting unit works as follows.

The in-vehicle emergency call system module has two calling modes: manual and automatic.

A manual call is made with the ignition on. For an emergency call, you must press the SOS button and hold it down for at least two seconds. In this case, if you press and hold the SOS button again for at least two seconds, the emergency call will be canceled. Next, a minimum data set is formed and a call is made to the operator of emergency operational services for voice communication.

An automatic call occurs when the ignition is on and the vehicle rolls over at the same time. The minimum set of data is automatically generated and the call is made to the operator of emergency in-vehicle services for voice communication. The BOS indicator informs the driver and passenger about this (located on the SOS button) - it flashes or lights up in red. If the indicator does not indicate the inclusion of automatic mode, then the driver or passenger himself presses the SOS emergency call button with a handset pattern. If you press and hold the "SOS" button for at least two seconds during dialing, the emergency call will be canceled.

An automatic call can only be canceled by an operator of emergency in-vehicle services after confirmation by the driver of the vehicle that there is no accident or other emergency.

To organize voice communication with the automated system dispatcher, it is necessary to use the speaker and microphones built into the BOS. The built-in speaker provides additional convenience for using BOS.

The dispatcher can call the driver of the vehicle for voice communication by calling the number of the SIM chip installed in the product. Automatic answer to the dispatcher's call is triggered within a configurable period of time after an emergency call.

Thus, the implementation of the utility model solves the problems set by the authors.
