Existing repair discs are usually implemented by a touch screen with functions such as input and display. The input function may be to simulate a virtual keyboard through the software and display it through the touch screen for maintenance personnel to input. Finally, the touch screen displays the corresponding result screen according to the input content. The virtual keyboard usually has a plurality of different types of virtual keys, such as different icons or symbols, or a text for the maintenance personnel to distinguish. Since the virtual buttons correspond to a function or can be used to trigger an event, the maintenance personnel can intuitively manipulate the service disk.

However, the existing maintenance disc has the disadvantage that the virtual keys that are easily discerned are also likely to be instinctively operated by non-maintenance personnel according to the icons or characters applied thereto, thus causing safety concerns. In addition, the design of the existing repair disk causes the virtual keyboard and the result screen to not be displayed at the same time. Therefore, after the maintenance personnel input and the touch screen displays the result screen, if the maintenance personnel wants to input again, they must switch back to the original virtual keyboard. Causes inconvenience to the user.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an electric vehicle management system.

Therefore, the electric vehicle management system of the present invention comprises a user operation interface and a touch unit.

The user interface is configured to generate a button screen comprising a plurality of virtual buttons for selection by a user. The virtual buttons include menu buttons for providing menu functions, and operation buttons associated with the menu buttons. The button screens present the menu buttons and the operation buttons in the same pattern.

The touch unit includes a display module for displaying the button screen, a signal generating module for generating a plurality of touch signals, and an instruction generating module for generating the control commands. Each of the touch signals corresponds to one of the virtual buttons.

When the user selects at least one of the menu buttons from the button screen, and then selects one of the operation buttons associated with the menu button, the signal generation module generates touch corresponding to the menu button and the operation button respectively. Signal. The user interface also generates a control screen including a plurality of control options for the user to select based on the touch signals. When the user selects at least one control option from the control screen, the signal generation module also generates a touch signal corresponding to the control option. The command generation module generates a corresponding control command according to the touch signal for the central control system of the electric vehicle to execute and complete a corresponding control function.

The effect of the present invention is that the menu buttons present the menu buttons and the operation buttons in the same pattern, and the unrelated maintenance personnel cannot intuitively operate according to the virtual buttons that are identical in appearance.

The virtual buttons 21 include menu buttons for providing menu functions, and operation buttons associated with the menu buttons. That is, each menu function corresponds to a menu (not shown), and each menu has its own corresponding operation button. Before the user operates the operation buttons, the user needs to select the menu button corresponding to the desired menu.

It is worth mentioning that the button screen 2 presents the virtual buttons 21 in the same pattern, that is, the menu buttons and the operation buttons are icons of the same color and shape and are not presented with any text on the button. Screen 2. The advantage of such a design is that when the user is not a relevant maintenance person, the menu buttons and the operation buttons that are identical in appearance can be intuitively operated. Of course, if it is the relevant maintenance personnel, it must be able to distinguish which virtual buttons 21 are menu buttons, and which virtual buttons 21 are operation buttons.

The display module 122 is configured to display the button screen 2 . The signal generating module 123 is configured to generate a plurality of touch signals. The instruction generation module 124 is configured to generate the control instructions. Each of the touch signals corresponds to one of the virtual buttons 21. That is, the signal generating module 123 generates a corresponding touch signal as the virtual button selected by the user is different. The command generation module 124 generates control commands for execution by the central control system of the electric vehicle to perform corresponding control functions, such as an air conditioner. However, the details of the central control system executing the control command are not the focus of the present invention, and therefore will not be described here.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, when the user selects at least one of the menu buttons 31 from the button screen 3 (see FIG. 3), and then selects one of the operation buttons 41 associated with the menu button 31 (see 4), the signal generating module 123 generates touch signals corresponding to the menu button 31 and the operation button 41, respectively. In the preferred embodiment, the user can select a single menu button to determine a menu, or a combination of menu buttons to determine another menu.

It is worth mentioning that, based on the design of the present invention, the menu is not displayed on the display module 122 to prevent unrelated maintenance personnel from guessing which of the virtual buttons 21 is a menu button by Trial and Error. 31.

As shown in FIG. 4, the user operation interface 11 further generates a control screen 5 including a plurality of control options 51 for the user to select based on the touch signals. That is, when the user sequentially selects the menu button 31 and the operation button 41 corresponding to the menu button 31, the user operation interface 11 generates the control screen 5 for the user to select. In addition, the display module 122 simultaneously displays the control screen 5 and the button screen 4 in a side by side manner. The advantage of this design is that if the user wants to switch between different menus, the virtual buttons 21 can be directly operated, and the operation of the virtual button 21 is not affected by the control screen 5, that is, no additional The control screen 5 is switched back to the button screen 4.

In addition, if the user directly operates the operation buttons 41 without selecting the menu button 31, the user operation interface 11 does not generate the control screen 5. That is, if the user cannot recognize which of the virtual buttons 21 is the menu button 31, the operation buttons 41 cannot be further successfully operated so that the user operation interface 11 generates the control screen 5.

When the user selects at least one control option 51 from the control screen 5, the signal generating module 123 also generates a touch signal corresponding to the control option 51. The command generation module 124 generates a corresponding control command according to the touch signal for the central control system of the electric vehicle to execute and complete a corresponding control function. That is, when the user selects the control option 51, the command generation module 124 generates a corresponding control command. The central control system of the electric car then executes the control commands and completes the subsequent control steps. In the preferred embodiment, the control options include a Check Box, a Radio Button, and any other input method that can be selected or filled in by the user.

In summary, the menu buttons and the operation buttons are presented with the same appearance icon and no text is presented on the button screen, so that the unrelated maintenance personnel cannot intuitively operate; the control screen is juxtaposed with the button screen. The manner of displaying the display module at the same time enables the user to switch between different menus without additionally switching back to the button screen from the control screen, so that the object of the present invention can be achieved.
