In order to achieve the above object, the navigation component provided by the present invention comprises: an access unit, a storage unit, a controller and a projection unit. The access unit is configured to access navigation information in the navigation function electronic product; the storage unit is configured to store the navigation message transmitted by the navigation function electronic product; the controller is configured to process the storage unit navigation message and send; the projection The unit accepts the navigation message sent by the controller and outputs the navigation message in a projected manner.

As described above, the navigation component of the present invention can project the navigation information of the electronic product by the projection unit to project the projection image, so that the driver can clearly recognize the relevant navigation message.

The second object of the present invention is to provide a navigation method for facilitating the driver to instantly recognize related navigation information by cooperating with the navigation electronic product to enlarge the navigation screen in view of the defects of the above-mentioned prior art.

To achieve the above objective two, the navigation method provided by the present invention includes the steps of:

(1) accessing navigation information in the navigation-enabled electronic product by the access unit;

(2) storing, by the storage unit, a navigation message transmitted by the electronic product with navigation function;

(3) the navigation message of the storage unit is processed by the controller and sent; and

(4) The navigation unit sends the navigation message sent by the controller and outputs the navigation message in a projected manner.

As described above, the navigation method of the present invention can transmit the navigation information of the electronic product in a projection manner to enlarge the projection image, so that the driver can clearly recognize the relevant navigation message.

In order to explain the technical content, structural features, objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following detailed description is given by way of example.

Referring to the first figure, the navigation component 100 of the present invention includes an access unit 10, a position sensor 20, a light sensor 30, a storage unit 40, a controller 50, and a projection unit 60.

Referring to the first figure, the navigation component 100 of the present invention is connected to a navigation function electronic product 200. The access unit 10 is used to connect the navigation information in the navigation function to the navigation component 100 of the present invention. The access unit 10 can be a connector component or a Bluetooth. The connector component is used for connecting to the electronic product 200 having the navigation function, and the navigation information in the electronic product is transferred into the storage unit 40 through the controller 50. In other embodiments, the connection may not be used. The components are respectively disposed, and the corresponding Bluetooth components are simultaneously disposed inside the navigation function-enabled electronic product 200 and the navigation component 100, respectively, thereby achieving the requirement that the navigation-enabled electronic product 200 delivers navigation information to the navigation component 100.

Referring to the first figure, the light sensor 30 is used to sense the light intensity inside the cab and immediately transmit the data message with the light intensity to the controller 50. The controller 50 can receive the light intensity information transmitted by the light sensor 30, and timely adjust and control the intensity of the projected light sent by the projection unit 60 according to the light intensity information to adapt to changes in the light intensity of the cab. By the setting of the light sensor 30, the intensity of the projected light in the cab can be adjusted in real time, and the influence of the change of the light in the cab on the visibility of the projected navigation message can be avoided. For example, when the light intensity in the cab is stronger than that in the nighttime, the controller 50 receives the signal of the light intensity sent by the light sensor 30, and then controls the projection unit 60 to send a stronger projection light at night so that the driver can be protected from light. The navigation information projected on the windshield is normally known by the influence of the intensity. Conversely, when at night, the light sent by the projection unit 60 is weaker than during the day.

The position sensor 20 can collect the position information of the navigation component 100 and transmit the corresponding position message to the controller 50, and then control the sending of the corrected navigation message by the controller 50. The position sensor 20 is disposed inside the navigation component 100, and the position sensor 20 can be a ball switch or an acceleration gauge.

The storage unit 40 is configured to store navigation information transmitted by the navigation function electronic product 200. The storage unit 40 further includes a first memory and a second memory, where the first memory is used to store the electronic product with navigation function. The uncorrected navigation message sent by the second memory is used to store the navigation message corrected by the controller 50 in the first memory, even if the projected image with the navigation message is always in an upright state.

The projection unit 60 is controlled by the controller 50 and projects a corresponding navigation message on the windshield of the car.

When the navigation component 100 cooperates with the navigation function electronic product 200 for navigation projection, the navigation function electronic product 200 can display the navigation information displayed on the screen of the electronic product 200 through the access unit 10 of the navigation component 100 and control The device 50 is stored in a first memory of the storage unit 40 of the navigation component 100. When the electronic product 200 with the navigation function is vertically erected on the navigation component 100, that is, the navigation component 100 vertically fixes the electronic product 200 with the navigation function to the navigation component 100, the controller inside the navigation component 100 50 will read the position information of the position sensor 20 at this time, define the position where the position sensor 20 is located as a non-deflection position, and the controller 50 directly reads out the navigation message in the first memory and controls the corresponding projection unit. 60 sends the navigation message at this time, and the projection picture with the navigation message is in an erect state.

When the navigation function-enabled electronic product 200 is placed horizontally on the navigation component 100, that is, the navigation component 100 places the navigation-enabled electronic product 200 horizontally horizontally on the navigation component 100, the controller 50 inside the navigation component 100 will read Taking the position information of the position sensor 20 at this time, since the position sensor 20 has a corresponding change with respect to the non-deflection state position, the position where the position sensor 20 is located at this time is defined as the deflection position, that is, the position sensor at this time. 20, when the position is deflected from the vertical position to the horizontal position, the controller 50 will read the navigation message in the first memory, and then fill in the navigation message obtained by rotating the corresponding navigation message by 90 degrees according to the rotation direction. In the second memory, the controller 50 sequentially reads out the navigation message in the second memory and controls the projection unit 60 to send the corresponding navigation message. The projected projection picture with the navigation message is still in an upright state after being enlarged. .

As can be seen from the above two cases, the controller 50 is configured to accept the location message sent by the position sensor 20 and correct the sent navigation message according to the location message, thereby ensuring that the projection picture with the navigation message is always in an upright state.

As described above, the navigation component 100 of the present invention can project the navigation information in the electronic product 200 with the navigation information by the projection unit 60 to enlarge the projection image, so that the driver can clearly recognize the relevant navigation message. .

Please refer to the second figure, a navigation method of the navigation component 100, the steps of which:

(1) The navigation unit in the navigation function-enabled electronic product 200 is accessed by the access unit 10;

(2) storing, by the storage unit 40, a navigation message transmitted by the electronic product 200 having the navigation function;

(3) the navigation message of the storage unit 40 is processed by the controller 50 and transmitted; and

(4) The navigation unit 60 receives the navigation message sent by the controller 50 and outputs the navigation message in a projection manner.

In the navigation method, if the position of the position sensor 20 does not change, in the present invention, that is, when the ball switch or the acceleration gauge is in the non-deflection state, the navigation message stored in the storage unit 40 is directly sent out and The controller 50 controls the projection unit 60 to make a corresponding projection.

If the position sensor 20 is rotated from the non-deflected state to the deflected state, in the present invention, that is, when the ball switch or the accelerometer is rotated vertically upright to the horizontal level, then the first memory will be read first by the controller 50. The navigation message is rotated, and the screen with the navigation message is rotated by 90 degrees, and then filled into the second memory, and then the navigation message stored in the second memory is read. Finally, the controller 50 controls the projection unit 60 to store the image. Navigation message in the second memory.

As described above, the navigation method of the present invention can transmit the navigation information of the electronic product in a projection manner to enlarge the projection image, so that the driver can clearly recognize the relevant navigation message.
