Exempelvis kan innerbelysningen styras flirt en panel i anslutning till sangen. Ett annat exempel är att en fjarrkontroll for att stalla in luftftadringen finns tillganglig vid passagerarplatsen sâ att den kan tas ut da en kontroll sker. En sadan fjarrkontroll är ofta ansluten via en kabel. This wish form has today been fulfilled by arranging buttons and controls in a number of places in, and in connection with, the vehicle which allow the systems and functions to be used even if the user is not in the driver 's seat. For example, the interior lighting can be controlled flirting with a panel adjacent to the song. Another example is that a remote control for setting up the air suspension is available at the passenger seat so that it can be removed when a control takes place. Such a remote control is often connected via a cable.
Det finns en rad exempel pa inmatningsgranssnitt for anvandning i fordon och i det foljande kommer ett antal olika system att kortfattat diskuteras. There are a number of examples of input interfaces for use in vehicles and in the following a number of different systems will be briefly discussed.
US-7,248,151 avser ett virtuellt tangentbord for ett fordon som anvands i samband med att styra olika funktioner for fordonet, exempelvis for att lasa upp fordonet. Ett tangentbord projicieras exempelvis pa en sidoruta av fordonet. En detektor och en processor finns anordnade for att detektera gester och identifiera de gester som utfors pa tangentbordet. US-7,248,151 relates to a virtual keyboard for a vehicle which is used in connection with controlling various functions of the vehicle, for example for unlocking the vehicle. For example, a keyboard is projected on a side window of the vehicle. A detector and a processor are provided to detect gestures and identify the gestures performed on the keyboard.

Har hanvisas aven till artikeln "Natural and Intuitive Hand Gestures: A Substitute for Traditional Vehicle Control", av A. Riener och M. Rossbory, publiserad i AutomotiveUI '11, November 29-December 2, 2011, Salzburg, Osterrike, Adjunct Proceedings. I artikeln beskrivs ett fors& dar en forare via gester ger instruktioner for att styra ett antal funktioner. Vid forsoket har mycket av teknologin som anvands vid dataspel utnyttjats och dâ i synnerhet Microsoft Kinect som anvands for spelkonsolen Xbox. I forsoket har gester av handen utforda dà handen halls i narheten av vaxelspaken identifierats. En detektor i form av en kamera var monterad i taket och installd for att infanga handrorelser i omradet runt vaxelspaken. He has also been referred to the article "Natural and Intuitive Hand Gestures: A Substitute for Traditional Vehicle Control", by A. Riener and M. Rossbory, published in AutomotiveUI '11, November 29-December 2, 2011, Salzburg, Austria, Adjunct Proceedings. The article describes a driver who gives instructions via gestures to control a number of functions. In the experiment, much of the technology used in computer games has been used, and in particular Microsoft Kinect, which is used for the Xbox game console. In the experiment, gestures of the hand were challenged when the hand held near the gear lever was identified. A detector in the form of a camera was mounted on the ceiling and installed to capture hand movements in the area around the gear lever.
Microsoft Kinect är saledes ett system som i forsta hand är anpassat for spelindustrin och som innebar att sensorer är anordnade i anslutning till en display dar sensorerna omfattar en kamera och en 3D-sensor som kan, med stod av speciell mjukvara, detektera rorelser hos en anvandare i tre dimensioner och bland annat identifiera ansikten. Kinect-systemet anvands alltsâ bland annat i spelkonsolen Xbox. Sensom for tre dimensioner bestar av en infrarodlaserprojektor kombinerad med en monokrom CMOS-sensor, som kan detektera videodata i tre dimensioner i dagsljusforhallanden. Avkanningsavstandet kan stallas in fcir 3D-sensom, och mjukvaran kan automatiskt kalibrera sensom i beroende av vilket spel som spelas och spelarens fysiska omgivning, dar hansyn kan tas till mobler och andra hinder. Systemet majliggar avancerad rorelseigenkanning och kan samtidigt folja rorelsema hos tvd aktiva spelare ddr rorelseanalysen kan ske genom att bedoma rorelsemoment fran upp till tjugo leder per spelare. Microsoft Kinect is thus a system that is primarily adapted for the gaming industry and which means that sensors are arranged in connection with a display where the sensors comprise a camera and a 3D sensor that can, with the help of special software, detect movements in a user in three dimensions and, among other things, identify faces. The Kinect system is thus used in the Xbox game console, among other things. The three-dimensional sensor consists of an infrared laser projector combined with a monochrome CMOS sensor, which can detect video data in three dimensions in daylight conditions. The scanning distance can be set for the 3D sensor, and the software can automatically calibrate the sensor depending on the game being played and the player's physical environment, where he can take into account furniture and other obstacles. The system requires advanced motion recognition and can at the same time follow the motion of two active players where the motion analysis can take place by assessing motion moments from up to twenty joints per player.
Kinect-systemets sensor matar ut videosignalen med en ramhastighet av 30 Hz. Videostrommen med RGB-signalen anvander en 8-bitars VGA-upplosning (640 x 480 pixlar) med ett fargfilter, medan den monokroma videostrOmmen for 3D-effekter har en VGA-upplosning (640 x 480 pixlar) pd 11 bitar, som ger en kanslighet i 2048 nivaer. Kinect-sensom fungerar pa avstand inom omradet 1,2-3,5 meter da den anvdnds i samband med mjukvaran till Xbox, men kan fa ett utokat omrade som ligger inom 0,7-6,0 meter. Sensorn har en horisontell detektionsvinkel pa 570 och en vertikal som är 430. Sensom kan sedan vridas 27° i horisontell led. The Kinect system sensor outputs the video signal at a frame rate of 30 Hz. The video stream with the RGB signal uses an 8-bit VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels) with a color filter, while the monochrome video stream for 3D effects has a VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels) of 11 bits, which gives a possibility in 2048 levels. The Kinect sensor works at a distance within the range of 1.2-3.5 meters as it is used in connection with the software for the Xbox, but can have an extended range that is within 0.7-6.0 meters. The sensor has a horizontal detection angle of 570 and a vertical of 430. The sensor can then be rotated 27 ° horizontally.
For att ge foraren av ett fordon mojlighet att utnyttja de manga olika system och funktioner som idag finns i en modern lastbil finns ett flertal knappar och reglage anordnade i fordonet, inte bara i anslutning till forarplatsen utan exempelvis vid sangen och i form av fjarrkontroller. Dessa knappar och reglage kraver ofta separata kabeldragningar vilket gör monteringen komplicerad och innebar hoga kostnader. Dessutom kan det ibland vara svart for fordonsforaren att veta var knapparna sitter for en specifik funktion. To give the driver of a vehicle the opportunity to use the many different systems and functions that are present in a modern truck, there are several buttons and controls arranged in the vehicle, not only in connection with the driver's seat but for example at the song and in the form of remote controls. These buttons and controls often require separate wiring, which makes installation complicated and involves high costs. In addition, it can sometimes be difficult for the driver to know where the buttons are for a specific function.
Syftet med foreliggande uppfinning är att astadkomma ett forbattrat inmatningsgranssnitt som bade är mera anvandarvanligt och som innebdr en kostnadsbesparing for fordonstillverkaren. The object of the present invention is to provide an improved input interface which is both more user-friendly and which entails a cost saving for the vehicle manufacturer.

Systemet anordnas exempelvis i innertaket av lastbilen sâ all den virtuella skdrmen kan projiceras pa varje tankbar position. According to the invention, a virtual touch screen is projected on a desired surface inside or outside the truck and is used in inputting control instructions to systems and functions in the vehicle. The system is arranged, for example, in the roof of the truck so that all the virtual screen can be projected at any imaginable position.
Pekskarmen kan exempelvis projiceras pA vaggen vid sidan av sangen, pa. madrassen, pd sangen, pa golvet eller pa vaggar. Star man utanfor fordonet kan man projicera den virtuella pekskarmen pa. en platta man hailer i handen eller exempelvis pA dorrens insida eller pa insteget. The touch screen can, for example, be projected on the cradle next to the song, on. the mattress, on the song, on the floor or on the cradles. If you stand outside the vehicle, you can project the virtual touch screen on. a plate you hold in your hand or, for example, on the inside of the door or on the entrance.
Ddrigenom kan man ersatta flera knappar i lastbilen, till exempel fiarrkontrollen for luftfiddringen, belysningsknappar och kontrollenheten fOr uppvarmningssystemet. Vidare 20 finns mojligheten att sjdlv kunna definiera vilka system och funktioner som skall kunna kontrolleras via den virtuella pekskarmen. This can replace several buttons in the truck, such as the air control for the air suspension, lighting buttons and the control unit for the heating system. Furthermore, there is the possibility of being able to define which systems and functions can be controlled via the virtual touch screen.

Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments of the Invention The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings and first with reference to the block diagram of Figure 1.
Foreliggande uppfinning avser ett inmatningssystem 2 fOr ett fordon, foretradesvis en lastbil, en buss, en husbil, men aven for personbilar. Inmatningssystemet innefattar ett projektorsystem 4, ett detektorsystem 6, vilka är anpassade att kommunicera med en styrenhet 8. The present invention relates to an input system 2 for a vehicle, preferably a truck, a bus, a motorhome, but also for passenger cars. The input system comprises a projector system 4, a detector system 6, which are adapted to communicate with a control unit 8.
Projektorsystemet 4 är anpassat att generera en virtuell pekskarm 10 innefattande en installbar inmatningsmeny anpassad for inmatning av styrinstruktioner for styrning av ett eller flera system for fordonet, varvid projektorsystemet 4 är anpassat att projicera den virtuella pekskarmen pa en visningsyta i eller vid fordonet. Projektorsystemet 4 är foretradesvis anordnat i innertaket av fordonets hytt. The projector system 4 is adapted to generate a virtual touch screen 10 comprising an installable input menu adapted for inputting control instructions for controlling one or more systems for the vehicle, the projector system 4 being adapted to project the virtual touch screen onto a display surface in or near the vehicle. The projector system 4 is preferably arranged in the ceiling of the vehicle cab.
Projektorsystemet 4 innefattar atminstone minst en av en bildgenerator, exempelvis ett katodstraleror (CRT), en digital ljusbearbetningsenhet, och en optisk projiceringsenhet som bland annat innefattar optiska projektionslinser for att projicera en genererad bild. Projektorsystemet kan aven utgoras av en laseranordning som "ritar" upp den virtuella pekskarmen. The projector system 4 comprises at least one of an image generator, for example a cathode ray tube (CRT), a digital light processing unit, and an optical projection unit which includes, among other things, optical projection lenses for projecting a generated image. The projector system can also be constituted by a laser device which "draws" the virtual touch screen.
I utforingsformen som visas i figuren bestar projektorsystemet av tre enheter som är placerade pa olika positioner i och/eller omkring fordonet for att majliggora projicering pa sa manga stallen som mojligt. Eft system med enbart en enhet är ocksa mojligt och da kan enheten exempelvis vara placerade for projicering i anslutning till sangen. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the projector system consists of three units which are placed at different positions in and / or around the vehicle in order to enable projection in as many places as possible. If a system with only one unit is also possible and then the unit can, for example, be placed for projection in connection with the song.
Aven detektorsystemet 6 är foretradesvis anordnat i innertaket av fordonets hytt och kan lampligen vara anordnat i anslutning till projektorsystemet. I utforingsformen visad i figuren innefattar detektorsystemet tre enheter som vardera innefattar kminstone minst en av en optisk datainsamlingsenhet, exempelvis en kamera eller en infraroddetektor. Foretradesvis innefattar detektorsystemet aven en ljuddetektor anpassad att detektera aktiveringsatgarder och inmatningsaktiviteter i form av ljud, exempelvis fran roster eller knackningar. The detector system 6 is also preferably arranged in the ceiling of the vehicle's cab and can suitably be arranged in connection with the projector system. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the detector system comprises three units, each of which comprises at least one of an optical data acquisition unit, for example a camera or an infrared detector. Preferably, the detector system also comprises a sound detector adapted to detect activation guards and input activities in the form of sound, for example from grids or knocks.
I samband med tillampning av uppfinningen är inmatningssystemet 2 anpassat att vara i dtminstone tva tillstand, ett vilotillstand (standby-tillstand) och ett anyandningstillstand. In connection with the application of the invention, the input system 2 is adapted to be in at least two states, a rest state (standby state) and a breath state.
Naturligtvis är inmatningssystemet dven i ett helt passivt tillstand da systemet är avstangt. Of course, the input system is still in a completely passive state when the system is turned off.
Inmatningssystemet 2 är sdledes anpassat att: A - detektera en forsta aktiveringsatgard med namnda detektorsystem 6, och om en sadan forsta aktiveringsatgard detekteras, att - initiera anyandningstillstandet. The input system 2 is thus adapted to: A - detect a first activation action with said detector system 6, and if such a first activation action is detected, to - initiate the breathing state.
I anyandningstillstandet har systemet oppnats upp for anyandaren att valja var den virtuella pekskarmen skall projiceras. Anyandaren astadkommer detta genom att C - valja och bestamma en visningsyta for den virtuella pekskarmen 10. In any breathing mode, the system has been set up for the user to choose where to project the virtual touch screen. The user accomplishes this by C-selecting and determining a display area for the virtual touch screen 10.
Enligt en utforingsform avvaktar systemet pd att anyandaren skall bekrafta var pekskarmen skall projiceras bekraftas detta genom att anvandaren genomfor en andra aktiveringsatgard. Systemet är, enligt denna utforingsform anpassat att - detektera en andra aktiveringsatgard med namnda detektorsystem 6. According to one embodiment, the system waits for the user to confirm where the touch screen is to be projected, this is confirmed by the user performing a second activation action. According to this embodiment, the system is adapted to - detect a second activation actuator with said detector system 6.
Darmed är inmatningssystemet klart att ta emot styrinstruktioner via den virtuella pekskarmen som projiceras pa den valda visningsytan. Detta sker genom stegen att: - generera och projicera den virtuella pekskarmen med anvandning av namnda projektorsystem 4 pd vald visningsyta, - ta emot, med anyandning av namnda detektorsystem 6, inmatningar av 25 styrinstruktioner i form av inmatningsaktiviteter via namnda projicerade inmatningsmeny och generera en inmatningssignal 12 i beroende ddray, F - styra ett eller flera system i beroende av namnda inmatningssignal 12. Thus, the input system is ready to receive control instructions via the virtual touch screen projected on the selected display area. This is done by the steps of: - generating and projecting the virtual touch screen using said projector system 4 on the selected display area, - receiving, with the use of said detector system 6, inputs of control instructions in the form of input activities via said projected input menu and generating an input signal 12 in dependent ddray, F - control one or more systems in dependence on said input signal 12.
I figuren har styrningen av systemen och funktionema for fordonet indikerats med en dubbelpil flan styrenheten 8. Styrenhetcn är foretradesvis kopp lad till fordoncts buss- system och styrsignalema som den genererar hanteras av fordonet pd normalt sift och behover &dor inte ytterligare beskrivas hdr. In the figure, the control of the systems and functions of the vehicle is indicated by a double arrow flan the control unit 8. The control unit is preferably connected to the vehicle's bus system and the control signals it generates are handled by the vehicle in normal sieve and need not be further described here.
Exempel pa system eller funktioner som lampligen kan styras via inmatningssytemet är belysning, uppvarmningssystem, radio, tv, multimedia, men aven t.ex. installning av luftfjadringen for lastbilen, exempelvis i samband med att ett slap kopplas pa. Examples of systems or functions that can be conveniently controlled via the input system are lighting, heating systems, radio, television, multimedia, but also e.g. installation of the air suspension for the truck, for example in connection with a slack being switched on.
De fOrsta och, i fcirekommande fall, andra aktiveringsatgarderna innefattar en eller flera av ett forutbestamt rarelsemonster (en gest); en fingerknappning eller en knackning Den forsta aktiveringsatgarden kan exempelvis vara att knacka tva ganger for att initiera anvandningstillstandet och sedan, enligt en utforingsform, genom att peka pa vald visningsyta genom en tydlig pekning med ett finger, som dâ utgor den andra aktiveringsatgarden, fâ systemet att visa den virtuella pekskarmen. The first and, where appropriate, second activation measures include one or more of a predetermined rarity pattern (a gesture); a finger tap or a tap The first activation action may, for example, be to tap twice to initiate the use state and then, according to one embodiment, by pointing to the selected display area by a clear point with one finger, which then constitutes the second activation action, cause the system to display the virtual touch screen.
I anvandningstillstandet projiceras inmatningsmenyn pa den virtuella pekskarmen. Exempelvis kan startmenyn, dvs. den forst visade inmatningsmenyn, vara beroende av var den virtuella pekskarmen projiceras.

Projektorsystem är saledes anpassat att generera en virtuell pekskarm innefattande en installbar inmatningsmeny anpassad for inmatning av styrinstruktioner for styrning av ett eller flera system for fordonet, varvid projektorsystemet är anpassat att projicera den virtuella pekskarm en pa en visningsyta i eller vi d fordonet. The projector system is thus adapted to generate a virtual touch screen comprising an installable input menu adapted for inputting control instructions for controlling one or more systems for the vehicle, the projector system being adapted to project the virtual touch screen onto a display surface in or near the vehicle.
Inmatningssystemet är anpassat att vara i atminstone tva tillstand, ett vilotillstand och ett anvandningstillstand, varvid metoden innefattar stegen att: A - detektera en forsta aktiveringsatgard, - initiera anvandningstillstandet, C - valja och bestamma en visningsyta for den virtuella pekskarmen, - generera och projicera den virtuella pekskarmen med anvandning av namnda projektorsystem pa vald visningsyta, - ta emot, med anvandning av namnda detektorsystem, inmatningar av styrinstruktioner i form av inmatningsaktiviteter via nananda projicerade inmatningsmeny och generera en inmatnings signal i beroende darav, F - styra ett eller flera system i beroende av namnda inmatningssignal (12). The input system is adapted to be in at least two states, a idle state and a use state, the method comprising the steps of: A - detecting an initial activation action, - initiating the use state, C - selecting and determining a display area for the virtual touch screen, - generating and projecting it virtual touch screen using said projector system on selected display surface, - receiving, using said detector system, inputs of control instructions in the form of input activities via nananda projected input menu and generating an input signal depending thereon, F - controlling one or more systems in dependent of said input signal (12).
Enligt en utforingsform innefattar metoden aft detektera en andra aktiveringsatgard med namnda detektorsystem, och att genomfbra steg D, och de efterfoljande stegen, forst da namnda andra aktiveringsatgard detekterats. I figur 2 har detta valfria steg streckmarkerats. According to one embodiment, the method of detecting a second activation action with said detector system comprises, and performing step D, and the subsequent steps, until said second activation action has been detected. In Figure 2, this optional step has been dashed.
De forsta och, om tillampligt, andra aktiveringsltgarderna innefattar exempelvis en eller flera av ett forutbestamt rorelsemonster (en gest), en knackning Nar den virtuella pekskarmen är aktiverad och en inmatningsmeny visas kan olika funktioner aktiveras genom att generera olika inmatningsaktiviteter som innefattar att trycka pa ett fordefinierat inmatningsomilde genom att hafia en hand/ett finger minst en forutbestamd tid i inmatningsomradet. Inmatningsmenyn innefattar foretradesvis ett flertal inmatningsmcnyer uppbyggda i ett hicrarkiskt system, och dar aktiveringcn av en funktion sker genom en specificerad inmatningsaktivitet. En inmatningsaktivitet accepteras genom en forutbestamd kvittens som utgors av en eller flera av att inmatningsomradet (knappen) andrar farg eller form, och att en akustisk signal genereras. The first and, if applicable, second activation keys include, for example, one or more of a predetermined motion pattern (a gesture), a knock. When the virtual touch screen is activated and an input menu is displayed, different functions can be activated by generating different input activities. predefined input mode by having a hand / finger for at least a predetermined time in the input range. The input menu preferably comprises a plurality of input menus constructed in a hierarchical system, and where the activation of a function takes place through a specified input activity. An input activity is accepted by a predetermined acknowledgment consisting of one or more of the input area (button) changing color or shape, and an acoustic signal being generated.
Enligt en tillampning av uppfinningen skall projektorsystemet och detektorsystemet vara sa placerade att den virtuella pekskarmen projiceras sa att operatoren kan sta utanfor fordonet och justera exempelvis luftfiddringen fOr bakaxeln. According to an application of the invention, the projector system and the detector system should be positioned so that the virtual touch screen is projected so that the operator can stand outside the vehicle and adjust, for example, the air suspension for the rear axle.
I en ytterligare variant av insamlingssystemet enligt uppfinningen är det mojligt att lama till vilka funktioner som systemet skall styra, och att dessutom paverka skarmutseendet till den funktionalitet som onskas. In a further variant of the collection system according to the invention, it is possible to paralyze to which functions the system is to control, and also to influence the screen appearance to the desired functionality.
I samband med att projektorsystemet far instruktioner om var den virtuella pekskarmen skall projiceras kan den anpassa projektionen sa att pekskdrmen far ett onskat utseende. Exempelvis tas hansyn till om visningsytan inte är vinkelrdt i forhallande till den genererade bild sa att pekskdrmen forvrdngs. Detta kan astadkommas automatiskt genom en korrigeringsfunktion. In connection with the projector system receiving instructions on where the virtual touch screen is to be projected, it can adjust the projection so that the touch screen has a desired appearance. For example, consideration is given to whether the display surface is not angled in relation to the generated image so that the touch screen is distorted. This can be achieved automatically through a correction function.
