Definitions
- the present invention concerns a device for control of one or more systems in a vehicle, comprising a control panel for control and programming of the systems.
- buttons or controls are arranged on the steering wheel, so that one can e.g. use them by using one's thumb, both on the right side and on the left side.
- the present invention is characterised by the characterizing part of the independent claim, that is, by the fact that the panel is arranged in a fixed position in respect to the dashboard, so that the panel is not rotating with the steering wheel.
- Alternative preferred embodiments are characterised by the dependent claims.
- the advantage with having a fixed panel inside the steering wheel is that one always knows where the controls are positioned, and which position or orientation they have. In that way, one can, when one is in a curve and a system should be controlled, use one hand to hold the steering wheel, and operate the buttons on the panel with the other hand.
- the panel can e.g. be mounted on a fixed and therefore stationary core inside the steering column.
- the buttons in the panel are replaced with a touch-sensitive screen, which can also show a variation of information regarding the car's condition, notifications for periodical checks, speed limit, how much one exceeds the speed limit, and so on.
- Fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention with a panel comprising buttons.
- Fig. 2 shows another preferred embodiment of the invention with a display arranged in the panel in the middle of the steering wheel.
- Fig. 3 shows another preferred embodiment of the invention, where the stationary panel in the middle of the steering wheel is larger than in other embodiments.
- the speedometer for example, or other indicators in the dashboard, are moved to the middle of the dash board, as known in the art.
- the panel is integrated in the cover for an airbag.
- Panel 10 comprises a standard horn button 20, and additionally control buttons to control a system which is warning the car driver when the speed limit is exceeded.
- the buttons can for example have a function up/down 30, OK 40, cancel 50, +/- 60, menu 70, or a number of other known functions.
- the system can give a warning about other characteristics of the car via a display which is mounted on the dash board, e.g. when the next oil change should be done, or that one should put on a seat belt, air pressure in the tyres and the like.
- a system the device according to the invention can be used for can e.g. be a system to improve the alertness of the driver, which system can comprise the following devices: a sensor for measuring the speed of the car; a central unit for registering of speed, for registering of information regarding the topical traffic regulations, and to give a signal when a set value is exceeded; A display to show information; a unit to produce noticeable signals to the driver.
- Another system the device according to the invention can be used for can e.g. be a safety check, where the car driver periodically is reminded to perform the different actions under a safety check.
- the system can be programmed manually, or by interactive contact between the system and traffic signs, traffic lights and the like.
- the system can give one or more signals when the set speed limit is exceeded, where the time interval between the signals can vary, dependent on how much the speed limit is exceeded.
- the system can further mute the radio, telephone and the like, when a signal should be given, so that the car driver does not miss the signal.
- the illumination/contrast of the display can be adapted automatically to the light strength around the display to cause optimal readability of the display at any time.
- the device in accordance to the invention can further comprise a display which can be of the type touch screen display, where the buttons, switches, turning knobs, levers or other known types of electronic controls can be replaced by virtual buttons with an assigned function on the display.
