Referring to Figures 1 and 2, there are shown block diagrams of a vehicle device for dynamically displaying composite information according to an embodiment of the present invention, and a schematic diagram of the same applied to a vehicle. The vehicle device 100 for displaying the composite information dynamically includes a plurality of vehicle condition sensors 110, a plurality of control units 120, a display unit 130, an input unit 140, a processor 150, and a storage unit 160. The processor 150 is electrically connected to the vehicle condition sensor 110, the control unit 120, the display unit 130, the input unit 140, and the storage unit 160, and can be connected, for example, by a controller area network (CANbus). Processor 150 can be one or more embedded controllers, microprocessors, complex programmable logic elements (CPLDs), field programmable logic gate arrays (FPGAs), or combinations thereof.

The vehicle condition sensor 110 can detect the driving data of the vehicle. The vehicle condition sensor 110 can be a tire pressure sensor, an oil quantity sensor, a water tank coolant sensor, a brake sensor, an engine speed sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, A satellite positioning sensor, a brightness sensor, a humidity sensor, a distance sensor, a camera, or a combination thereof. The driving data can be tire pressure, oil quantity, tank coolant temperature, brake speed, engine speed, vehicle speed, satellite positioning signal, brightness, humidity, distance or photographic image. Among them, the satellite positioning signal includes latitude and longitude coordinates, date, time and speed.

The control unit 120 can control the vehicle components of the vehicle. The control unit 120 can be a wiper controller, a headlight controller, a fog lamp controller, a brake controller, a throttle controller, a car audio, or a combination thereof. The components for the vehicle can be wipers, headlights, fog lights, brakes, throttles, horns, and the like.

The display unit 130 can display a line of car assist pictures. The display unit 130 can be an electronic instrument panel, a display panel of a vehicle multimedia device, a heads up display, or a combination thereof. The driving assistance screen may be, for example, a navigation screen, a weather screen, a multimedia playback screen, or a combination thereof.

The input unit 140 can receive an input from the driver to generate an input signal. The input unit 140 can be a touch panel, a button group, a microphone, an integrated sensor, or a combination thereof. When the input unit 140 is a touch panel, the driver's input is an action of touching the touch panel, and the input signal is a touch coordinate of the driver's contact position. The touch panel can be a capacitive, resistive, electromagnetic, optical, or the like type of touch panel. The button group can include one or more buttons, which can be mechanical or capacitive. If the input unit 140 is a button group, the driver's input is the action of pressing or triggering the button group, and the input signal is a signal indicating that the switch state changes. If the input unit 140 is a microphone, the driver's input is the sound of the driver's speech, and the input signal is the sound signal of the microphone for sound-electrical conversion. Here, the microphone can be an analog microphone or digital Microphone. If the input unit 140 is a somatosensory detector, for example, a smart watch, a smart bracelet, an infrared camera, etc., the driver's input (ie, motion, gesture, etc.) can be identified through an accelerometer or image analysis method, and the input signal can be visually sensed. The principle of detection varies. For example, if the accelerometer is used, the input signal is the acceleration value. When the infrared camera detects it, the input signal is the infrared image.

The storage unit 160 can be a non-volatile storage medium such as a hard disk, a memory card, or a flash memory, and can be used to store operating systems and applications executed by the processor 150. Moreover, the storage unit 160 can also store the detected driving data and control options, etc., which will be described in detail later. It is to be noted that each of the vehicle condition sensors 110 can transmit the detected driving data to the processor 150 in real time or at intervals. The processor 150 can store the detected driving data in the storage unit 160. The actuation period of the vehicle condition sensor 110 may be started when the vehicle is started and when the vehicle is turned off. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and some of the vehicle sensors can be activated after the vehicle is turned off.

Referring to FIG. 3, it is a schematic diagram of the driving assistance screen of the overspeed situation according to an embodiment of the present invention. The driving assistance screen 300 is a navigation screen 320 and can be displayed on a display panel of a vehicle multimedia device (such as a car computer). The storage unit 160 can store a map database of the navigation program. When all or a part of the combination of the driving data meets a certain triggering situation, a shortcut window 310 is displayed on the driving assistance screen 300. The storage unit 160 can store a combination of trigger conditions corresponding to driving data of various trigger scenarios. When the processor 150 matches one of the triggered driving data to meet one of the trigger condition combinations, it is determined that a triggering situation corresponding to the combination of the triggering conditions has occurred. The shortcut window 310 includes a plurality of display areas (the dotted area shown in the figure or the enclosed area of the solid line). The processor 150 selects at least one of the driving data 311 and at least one of the control options 312 in the storage unit 160 in response to the triggering situation to display the selected driving data 311 and the control option 312 respectively. Some of the display areas. borrow Therefore, the shortcut window 310 can display a combination of different driving data 311 and control options 312 according to the triggering situation, and can appropriately let the driver see the driving data 311 corresponding to the triggering situation, and can understand the driving state, and can The control option 312 associated with this trigger context is further manipulated without having to return to the main menu to find the option to control.

As shown in Figure 3, the triggering context illustrated here is the situation in which the driver is overspeeding. In this scenario, the triggering condition combination of the required driving data may be the vehicle speed and the satellite positioning signal (the vehicle condition sensor 110 is the vehicle speed sensor and the satellite positioning sensor). The storage unit 160 may have a speed limit database, and the speed limit data inventory has speed limit data of each road section. The processor 150 obtains the location of the vehicle according to the satellite positioning signal, and can find the speed limit or speed camera position of the location according to the speed limit database to determine whether the current vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit. When an overspeed occurs, the driving assistance screen 300 displays a shortcut window 310 containing at least one line of vehicle data 311 and at least one control option 312 corresponding to the triggering context. Here, the displayed driving data 311 is the current vehicle speed (78 kilometers per hour). Control options 312 are two options: "turn on/off warning tone" and "turn off automatic deceleration function".

As shown in FIG. 3, the display area of the shortcut window 310 may also display one or more triggering context-related prompt messages 313, usually environmental information outside the vehicle, where the speed limit value (60 kilometers per hour) and Speed camera information (speed camera after one minute).

In one embodiment, when a triggering situation is detected, the processor 150 may generate a control signal corresponding to the triggering situation to control the vehicle component of the vehicle. Taking FIG. 3 as an example, when the vehicle device 100 that dynamically displays the composite information detects the trigger situation of the overspeed, the processor 150 outputs a control signal to drive the control unit 120 such as the brake controller and the throttle controller to automatically decelerate. In order to let the driver know that there is an automatic deceleration state due to the speeding relationship, the display area of the shortcut window 310 can also display at least one state description 314, which is "minus" The description of "speed". The processor 150 stops generating or changing the control signal corresponding to the triggered control option 312 after detecting that the control option 312 is triggered via the input signal (ie, the driver or others press or trigger the control option 312). For example, whenever an over-speed trigger situation occurs, the vehicle device 100 that dynamically displays the composite information presets a voice prompt to indicate that the current speed limit is an overspeed condition, and if the driver feels that the prompt may interfere with driving attention, The control option 312 of "turn off the alert tone" can be triggered. Therefore, the processor 150 turns off the function of the warning tone and stops generating the control signal to sound a warning tone. Thus, the driver does not have to go back to the main menu to turn off the warning tone. This setting can be stored in the storage unit 160. If the overspeed situation is triggered again, the voice prompt will not be issued according to the function of the warning sound being turned off. After the previous control option 312 of "turn off the alert tone" is triggered, the control option 312 of "turn off the alert tone" is replaced with the control option of "turn on the alert tone" (not shown). If the driver wants to turn on the alert tone function at this time, the control option 312 of "turn on the alert tone" can be triggered again, so that the processor 150 continues to generate the voice prompt control signal. Similarly, the driver can also select the control option 312 of "turning the automatic deceleration function on or off", and can change the control signals output to the brake controller and the throttle controller.

As can be seen from the foregoing description, the display area in the shortcut window 310 is divided into a control area and an information area. The control area can display an operational control option 312. The information area may display driving data 311, a prompt message 313, and a status description 314 that are inoperable and are only used for data presentation purposes.

In some embodiments, when a triggering situation occurs, the processor 150 may not generate a control signal, that is, not actively triggering the context control vehicle component. As in the previous example, it is not automatically decelerated. If the driver triggers control option 312, processor 150 will generate or change the control signal corresponding to the triggered control option 312. For example: turn on the voice prompt function or turn on the automatic slowdown function.

Referring to FIG. 4, it is a schematic diagram of a driving assistance screen of a head-up display according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the above-mentioned speeding trigger situation, the head-up display can also display the driving data 311 such as the current speed (78 kilometers per hour) and the speed limit value (60 kilometers per hour) and the speed camera information (the speed camera after one minute). Message 313. That is, in this embodiment, the content of the aforementioned information area is mainly displayed on the head-up display.

Referring to FIG. 5, it is a schematic diagram of a multi-window assisting screen of an embodiment of the present invention. The driving assistance screen may include a navigation screen 320, a weather screen 330, and a multimedia playback screen 340, which may be displayed on a display panel of a vehicle multimedia device (such as a car computer). Referring to Fig. 6, it is a schematic diagram of the auxiliary screen of the heavy rain and fog according to an embodiment of the present invention. For the triggering situation of heavy fog or heavy rain, the trigger condition combination of the driving data 311 stored in the storage unit 160 may be brightness and humidity, and the storage unit 160 may store the control options 312 of “close the shortcut window” and “turn off the automatic deceleration function”. The processor 150 can determine whether a fog or heavy rain triggering situation occurs outside the vehicle according to the brightness and humidity (the vehicle condition sensor 110 is a brightness sensor and a humidity sensor), and the triggering situation may affect the driver's sight. . When the triggering situation of heavy fog or heavy rain occurs, the driving assistance screen 300 further displays a shortcut window 310. The shortcut window 310 can display: current driving speed (78 km per hour) driving data 311; "close shortcut window", "turn off automatic deceleration function" and other control options 312; speed limit value (60 km per hour) prompt message 313; And state description 314 such as deceleration, wiper and headlights on. In this triggering situation, the processor 150 can output a control signal to the brake controller and the throttle controller to reduce the current vehicle speed to below the speed limit, and can output a control signal to the wiper controller and the headlight controller, and control the wiper. The swing speed and headlights are turned on. In addition, the processor 150 can also obtain the distance from the preceding vehicle by the distance sensor, and can cooperate with the brake controller and the throttle controller to increase the distance between the vehicle and the preceding vehicle. The status description 314 in the shortcut window 310 is related to the vehicle component according to the control signal. The item being controlled, which allows the driver to know, for example: deceleration, wiper on, and headlights on.

Here, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the shortcut window 310 is a pop-up window and is overlaid on the weather screen 330 and the multimedia play screen 340. If the driver feels that the shortcut window 310 blocks the original screen, the control option 312 of "close the shortcut window" may be triggered to cause the shortcut window 310 to be reduced to an area of the driving assistance screen 300 (as shown in FIG. 7). Therefore, the driver can conveniently close the shortcut window 310. Similarly, the driver can also conveniently select the control option 312 of "turning the automatic deceleration function on or off", and can change the control signals output to the brake controller and the throttle controller.

In some embodiments, the shortcut window 310 may disappear after the trigger context is released, and return to the original screen.

Referring to FIG. 8, a block diagram of a vehicle device 100 for dynamically displaying composite information according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown. The vehicle device 100 that dynamically displays the composite information may further include an identity recognition unit 170 that is electrically coupled to the processor 150. The identity recognition unit 170 can be used to identify an individual identity, such as an RFID reader, a fingerprint machine, a password input keyboard, and the like. The driver can identify the identity of the vehicle device 100 that dynamically displays the composite information through the identity recognition unit 170, for example, providing the RFID reader with a key with radio frequency identification. The storage unit 160 can store a combination and control option 312 corresponding to the plurality of drivers' multiple trigger contexts and the driving data 311 corresponding to the respective trigger contexts. Then, the processor 150 can extract the combination of the trigger context corresponding to the driver and the corresponding driving data 311 and the control option 312 from the storage unit 160 according to the identity recognition result. Therefore, when the triggering situation is met, the executed automatic control items and control options 312 will be different according to the driver's identity, and the processor 150 will select different control options 312 in response to the trigger situations corresponding to different drivers. Windows Displayed in 310. Further, the conditions for combining the driving data 311 that trigger the situation may also differ depending on the driver's identity.

Compared with the foregoing FIG. 1 or FIG. 8 , the vehicle device 100 for dynamically displaying the composite information may further include a communication unit 180 electrically connected to the processor 150. The communication unit 180 can be a communication component supporting mobile communication technologies such as 2G, 3G, and 4G, and can be connected to a scenario analysis server 200. The scenario analysis server can store the combination of trigger conditions for the aforementioned driving data. The processor 150 can upload the foregoing driving data 311 via the communication unit 180, and the situation analysis server 200 can analyze whether the triggering situation occurs according to the driving data 311, and generate a trigger signal when it occurs. The processor 150 can obtain the trigger signal corresponding to the trigger situation from the context analysis server 200 via the communication unit 180, and generate the foregoing control signal according to the trigger signal, and can also display the shortcut window 310 on the driving assistance screen 300 in response to the trigger signal. Thus, as in the foregoing embodiment, the shortcut window 310 can display at least one row of vehicle data 311 corresponding to the trigger signal and at least one control option 312 corresponding to the control signal. The difference between this embodiment and the foregoing embodiment is that the analysis of the driving data 311 is performed by the situation analysis server 200, whereby the vehicle device 100 capable of reducing computing resources and dynamically displaying the composite information can select a lower order of computing power. processor.

In some embodiments, the scenario analysis server 200 may perform comprehensive analysis based on the driving data 311 uploaded by the plurality of vehicle devices 100 that dynamically display the composite information to determine whether a triggering situation occurs. For example, it is possible to analyze the easy-to-follow road section and automatically decelerate when entering the accident section; or to analyze the traffic jam section, and to remind the driver to change the route before entering the section.

In summary, the vehicle device 100 for dynamically displaying composite information proposed by an embodiment of the present invention can provide a control option 312 for easy manipulation, so that the driver does not need to return to the main menu. Look for the settings to be changed and display the driving data of the relevant situation together.
