Description

Method for operating an operating arrangement for a motor vehicle with state-dependent display, operating arrangement and motor vehicle

The present invention relates to a method for operating an operating arrangement for a motor vehicle, in which by means of a control element, which is arranged on a steering wheel of the motor vehicle and which is a touch-sensitive

Screen, a touch at least one on the control

button is detected as a control action, and by means of a

Control device is selected at least one button from the plurality of buttons for displaying on the control element and / or a representation of the at least one button on the control element is adjusted. The invention also relates to an operating arrangement for a motor vehicle. Finally, the present invention relates to a motor vehicle.

The interest is directed in the present case, in particular to operating arrangement for

Motor vehicles. Such operating arrangements may comprise, for example, operating elements with which an operating action can be detected. These controls can be arranged for example on the steering wheel of the motor vehicle. As a result of the detected operating action, a functional device of the motor vehicle can be activated or operated with a control device. With such

Operating elements, for example, an information and / or entertainment system, a communication device, a driver assistance system or the like can be operated.

Controls are known from the prior art, which are arranged on the steering wheel of the motor vehicle and which are formed for example as so-called steering wheel switch. These steering wheel switches include, for example, a mechanical switch, in particular a microswitch, over which a rubber mat or other cover is arranged. Furthermore, controls for steering wheels are known, which include touch-sensitive sensors. Such sensors may be designed, for example, as capacitive or resistive sensors. Each switch or each sensor only serves to operate a single Vehicle function or a single functional device of the

Motor vehicle. Due to the increasing number of vehicle functions and the number of controls on and / or in the steering wheel increases. This has the consequence that the driver can lose track of the operation of the controls. This in turn brings increased distraction during operation of the motor vehicle and thus an increased risk of accidents with it. Another disadvantage of such

Operating arrangements is the limited customizability and immutability of the functions.

To reduce the distraction of an operator of a motor vehicle, US 7,295,904 B2 proposes a device for operating devices and systems in a motor vehicle. The device has one or more touch-sensitive surfaces which are mounted on the steering wheel of the motor vehicle. The operator can touch these surfaces using predetermined patterns to perform functions such as controlling a radio or setting a window. In this case, at least some of the predetermined patterns can be specified by the operator.

In addition, from DE 10 2010 012 240 A1 an operating and

Display device of a motor vehicle known. The operating and

Display device comprises at least two operating devices, each operating device each having a group of available and selectable functions can be assigned. In addition, the functional groups can be displayed on a display device. It is provided that for the representation of the functional groups, a common display area is provided on the display device and upon approach of the operating means to one of the control devices and / or touching one of them in the common display areas substantially only the respectively via the respective control device in each case. and selectable functions.

Furthermore, DE 20 2006 008 254 U1 describes a vehicle cockpit with a

Vehicle steering wheel that has a user accessible steering wheel outer surface, wherein the steering wheel is designed such that on this finger movements on the steering wheel outer surface can be detected. In addition, an evaluation circuit for generating evaluation signals, which as such are associated with the finger movement and the position of the finger on the steering wheel, is provided. It is an object of the present invention to provide a solution, such as a

Operating arrangement of the type mentioned can be operated safer and more reliable.

This object is achieved by a method by an operating arrangement and by a motor vehicle with the features according to the respective independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims, the description and the figures.

An inventive method is used to operate an operating arrangement for a motor vehicle. Here, by means of an operating element which is arranged on a steering wheel of the motor vehicle and which has a touch-sensitive screen, a touch of at least one displayed on the operating element

Button recorded as operator action. Furthermore, by means of a control device, at least one button is selected from a plurality of buttons for display on the operating element. Alternatively or additionally, a representation of the at least one button on the operating element is adapted. In addition, by means of the detection device, a change of state which concerns the motor vehicle and / or a driver of the motor vehicle is detected, and by means of the control device the at least one is determined as a function of the detected change of state

Button selected and / or adapted to the appearance of at least one button.

The operating arrangement comprises an operating element which is arranged on the steering wheel. The operating arrangement may also comprise a plurality of operating elements which are arranged on the steering wheel. In this case, the at least one operating element can be arranged on a steering wheel rim and / or on a spoke of the steering wheel. The

Operating element has a touch-sensitive screen or a touchscreen on which a plurality of buttons can be displayed. These buttons can be operated by a corresponding operating gesture, for example by a touch with a finger. As a result of with the

Operating control detected control action, for example, by means of

Control device a functional device or a device of the motor vehicle are operated. For example, an information and / or entertainment system, a navigation system, a communication device, a driver assistance system or the like can be operated or controlled by the operation of the button. The control device is further configured to select the buttons from the plurality of buttons which are to be displayed on the control element or on the touch-sensitive screen. Furthermore, with the control device, a representation of the at least one button on the

Control is displayed, to be customized. For example, the position and / or the size of the button can be adjusted. Furthermore, by means of the control device, a color and / or a brightness of the button can be adjusted.

In addition, a change of state is detected with a detection device, which affects either the motor vehicle and / or the driver of the motor vehicle. Such a change of state can also affect at least one component or system of the motor vehicle. Such a state change occurs, for example, when a state of a component of the motor vehicle changes. Further, the state change may occur when a state of the driver of the motor vehicle changes. If the status change is detected with the detection device, a corresponding signal can be transmitted to the control device. The

Control device may then select depending on the detected state change those buttons from the plurality of buttons to be displayed on the touch-sensitive screen. In addition, the controller may adjust the appearance of the at least one button displayed on the touch-sensitive screen depending on the detected state change.

Thus, the driver of the motor vehicle depending on the current state and / or depending on the condition of the motor vehicle depending on the situation, the

Buttons are displayed. This will be conditional on the driver

Functions of the motor vehicle provided, which he can select accordingly. Then, in particular, only the buttons or functions will be provided which may be of interest in the current state. Thus, the driver is not distracted from the traffic by a plurality of buttons. Thus, the motor vehicle can be operated safely.

It is preferred by means of the control device in dependence on the detected

State change predicts a possible operation performed by the driver in response to the state change, and depending on the predicted one

Operating step, the at least one button is selected and / or the representation adapted to at least one button. The control device receives from the detection device the information that the state of the motor vehicle and / or the state of the driver has changed. In particular, receives the

Control device of the detection device, the information in which state the motor vehicle and / or the driver is currently. Thus, by means of the control device one or more possible operating steps can be predicted, which the driver will carry out. It can also be provided that for different state changes or for different variants of the change from a first state to a second state predetermined buttons are predetermined, which should be displayed on the control. Furthermore, for

different state changes or transitions between states a representation of the buttons be given. The predetermined selection of the buttons and / or the predetermined representation of the buttons can then be selected by the control device. Thus, the buttons in

Depending on the current state of the driver and / or the motor vehicle can be adjusted.

In another embodiment, an incoming call is recognized as the state change, and at least one of the touch-sensitive screen is recognized

Button for operating a telephone device of the motor vehicle displayed. The telephone device of the motor vehicle may, for example, be coupled to a mobile telephone of the driver or of a vehicle occupant for data transmission. The telephone device can also be a communication device by means of which telephone calls can be made and / or accepted independently of a mobile telephone of a vehicle occupant. If the incoming call is recognized as the status change, only those buttons by means of which the driver can operate the telephone device can be displayed on the touch-sensitive screen. For example, at least one button can be displayed by means of which the incoming call can be answered. It can also be displayed a button by means of which a call can be ended. Furthermore, buttons can be displayed by means of which can be switched between multiple calls. In addition, buttons can be displayed by means of which the volume can be adjusted. Thus, a comfortable and safe operation is possible in the case of an incoming telephone call.

In a further embodiment, a change in the environment of the motor vehicle is recognized as the change in state and, depending on the change in the Environment, the at least one button is selected and / or the representation of the at least one button adapted. The change of environment can

for example, a border crossing. For example, that means that

Motor vehicle moves to another country or state. As a result of the change in the environment, the driver can be displayed, for example, a button by means of which he can select a local radio station. Furthermore, corresponding buttons can be displayed to the driver by means of which he can operate vehicle functions or driver assistance system. About such buttons, the driver can control, for example, vehicle functions that warn the driver of exceeding a prevailing maximum speed in the country. Thus, the motor vehicle can be reliably operated depending on the environment.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if a change of the

Lighting conditions in the vicinity of the motor vehicle is detected and a color and / or brightness of the representation of the at least one button is adjusted. Depending on the brightness in the environment of the motor vehicle, for example, a day mode and a night mode can be provided, in which the touch-sensitive screen can be operated. For example, in the night mode, the brightness can be reduced and the colors for displaying the button can be adjusted so that they can be reliably detected in the dark environment. As a result of the change in the lighting conditions, the driver can also buttons are displayed with which he appropriate

Driver assistance systems can control. For example, the driver a

Button for activating the light functions, for example one

High-beam assistants.

Furthermore, a change in the weather conditions in the surroundings of the motor vehicle can be detected as the change in state, and depending on the change in the weather conditions, at least one button can be selected and / or the representation of the at least one button can be adapted. When the

Weather conditions in the area can change on the

touch-sensitive screen buttons are displayed, with which the driver can control, for example, different lighting functions or light distributions. If fog is detected in the environment of the motor vehicle, the driver can be provided with a button by means of which he

Fog lights and / or the rear fog light can activate. In addition, buttons can be displayed on the touch-sensitive screen by means of which the driver can control appropriate driver assistance systems. If, for example, black ice is detected in the surroundings of the motor vehicle, an electronic stability program and / or traction control can be activated by means of a corresponding button. Thus, the driver can be reliably assisted in guiding the motor vehicle in different weather conditions.

In another embodiment, as the change of state, a degree of tiredness of the driver is recognized and the number of buttons displayed on the driver

touch-sensitive screen, is reduced depending on the degree of fatigue. In this case, the detection means may be adapted to detect the tiredness and / or the driver's attention. The detection device may comprise, for example, a corresponding camera and an associated image processing device by means of which the eye activity or the head tilt of the driver can be analyzed. In addition, with such a camera, the driver's line of sight can be detected. For example, when it is detected that the driver is overtired, the number of buttons displayed on the touch screen may be reduced. For example, the buttons can be displayed to the driver, by means of which corresponding basic functions can be controlled. This can be prevented that the driver is confused by a variety of buttons and he is additionally distracted from the traffic.

In a further embodiment, a transition from a manual into an autonomous driving mode of the motor vehicle is recognized as the change of state and the

Appearance of the at least one button is adjusted after detecting the transition. As the state change, a transition from an autonomous to a manual driving mode or driving operation of the motor vehicle can be detected. In the autonomous or automated driving mode, the driver assistance system of the motor vehicle assumes the transverse guidance and / or the longitudinal guidance. The driver assistance system intervenes, for example, in the steering, the brake system and / or the drive motor. In the manual driving mode, the driver takes over the lateral guidance and the longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle. If a change of state between a manual and an autonomous driving operation and vice versa is detected, the representation of the at least one button on the

touch-sensitive screen appears to be changed. For example, the color, the brightness and / or the lighting can be changed. Thus, the Driver pointed out that the driving mode of the motor vehicle has changed. Furthermore, by changing the basic representation of the at least one button on the touch screen, the driver can

Additional information about the present driving condition or driving mode are transmitted.

In a further refinement, after detecting the transition, at least one further button is displayed from the touch-sensitive screen. If the driving mode of the motor vehicle is changed from the manual to the autonomous driving mode, further functions can be provided to the driver by means of the buttons. In this way the functionality can be extended. Thus, for example, in the autonomous driving mode of the motor vehicle, the driver may be enabled to access a mobile phone and / or a tablet computer. Furthermore, the driver can be provided by the buttons other functions, such as the function of an Internet browser, a communication service, an e-mail program or the like. During the autonomous

Driving mode, in which the driver in particular does not have to pay attention to the traffic, the driver can thus be provided different functions.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the operating element has a static and a dynamic range, wherein the display of the at least one button and / or the adaptation of the representation of the at least one button in the dynamic range is performed. The touch-sensitive screen of the control element can be divided into two spatially separate areas, namely the dynamic range and the static range. In the dynamic range, it is thus possible to provide user-oriented and situation-dependent functions by selecting and adapting the buttons. In the static area, the buttons provide the functions that must be permanently and quickly available. Such buttons or functions may be, for example, the adjustment of the volume, a change between different media sources and / or a switch between a manual and an autonomous driving mode.

In a further embodiment, the buttons selected by the control device are divided into at least two groups, wherein first the buttons of a first of the at least two groups are displayed on the control element and after detecting a predetermined operator action, the buttons of a second of the at least two groups are displayed on the control element. Depending on the state change, it may be the case that the buttons selected for the respective state change can not all be displayed simultaneously on the touch-sensitive screen. This can be done in several buttons

Groups can be divided, wherein each of the buttons of a group can be displayed on the touch-sensitive screen. If, for example, the driver has a predetermined operator action or a predetermined operator action

He can switch between the individual groups. By way of example, a wiping movement extending from a first end of the dynamic range to a second end of the dynamic range may be provided as the predetermined operating action or operating gesture. Thus, it is possible in the dynamic range of the operating element to make a selection or activation via the operating gesture, which of the buttons should be displayed. Due to the defined start and end point of the gesture, unintentional operation can be prevented.

In a further refinement, the at least one button for performing the operator action is initially selected and subsequently actuated. Since the

touch-sensitive screen is arranged on the steering wheel of the motor vehicle, there is basically the risk of unintentional operation or incorrect operation. To prevent this, a specific selection and / or activation scheme is provided herein that is both intuitive and secure. If the driver wishes to operate a function, he can in principle achieve this by pressing the button directly. To avoid unwanted operation, a combination known from a capacitive sensor and a mechanical switch can be used. The button can be touched by the finger first. In this way, a preselection of the button can be made. This preselection can then be done by pressing the surface of the

touch-sensitive screen in the button area. It is also conceivable that a corresponding haptic feedback occurs when the button is operated. For this purpose, the touch-sensitive screen may have a corresponding actuator, with which a haptic feedback can be output to the finger of the driver. Thus, a safe

Operation of the operating arrangement are made possible. Furthermore, it is advantageous if at least one display element on a

Display device is displayed and an operation of the display element is performed by touching the at least one button displayed on the control. The operating arrangement may comprise a display device on which corresponding information can be displayed. The display device can be arranged, for example, in the instrument cluster. Alternatively, the

Display device may be arranged in the dashboard of the motor vehicle. The display device can also be designed as a head-up display or as a head-up display. In this case, the display elements can be operated on the display device with corresponding buttons that are displayed on the operating element. The display elements may for example be associated with music files which can be selected and played by the operation of the buttons. Thus, additional functions can be provided to the driver during the autonomous operation of the motor vehicle by the display elements and the operation of the display elements by the buttons.

In a further embodiment, as the at least one button, an image of a switching element of a mobile device is displayed on the control element, and an operation of the mobile device is performed by touching the at least one button displayed on the control element. In other words, buttons are displayed on the touch-sensitive screen, which are an image of switching elements of a mobile terminal. These switching elements can

For example, be control buttons, buttons or buttons. The mobile device may be, for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet and / or a portable computer. On the control element so the switching element of the device are displayed as buttons. These buttons, which are an image of the

Represent switching elements of the device can also be referred to as device buttons. When the button displayed on the touch-sensitive screen is operated, a corresponding operation of the button will be performed

corresponding switching element on the mobile terminal. Thus, the mobile terminal can be operated virtually via the touch-sensitive screen. The mobile terminal can be controlled remotely by the buttons on the touch-sensitive screen. Thus, in particular during the autonomous operation of the motor vehicle, an operation of mobile terminals in the

Motor vehicle be enabled. An operating arrangement according to the invention for a motor vehicle is designed to carry out a method according to the invention. The operating arrangement in particular comprises the operating element with the touch-sensitive screen, which is arranged on the steering wheel of the motor vehicle. In addition, the

Operating arrangement include the control device. The control device may be formed by a control unit of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the operating arrangement may comprise the detection device, by means of which the state change can be detected. The operating arrangement may be part of a driver assistance system with which the motor vehicle can be operated autonomously.

Provided with reference numerals.

Fig. 1 shows a motor vehicle 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention in a plan view. The motor vehicle 1 is presently designed as a passenger car. The motor vehicle 1 comprises an operating arrangement 2, which may be part of a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle 1, for example. The

Driver assistance system can serve, for example, to assist the driver in driving the motor vehicle 1. With the help of the driver assistance system, the motor vehicle 1 can be maneuvered for example autonomously. In this case takes over the driver assistance system the transverse guidance and / or longitudinal guidance of the

Motor vehicle 1. The driver assistance system can thus perform a steering intervention, an intervention in the brake system and / or an intervention in the drive motor of the motor vehicle 1. The motor vehicle 1 can also be operated manually. In this operating mode, the driver assumes both the longitudinal guidance and the transverse guidance of the motor vehicle 1.

The control arrangement 2 comprises a control device 3. The control device 3 may be formed, for example, by an electronic control unit (ECU - Electronic Control Unit) of the motor vehicle 1. Furthermore, the operating arrangement 2 comprises at least one operating element 4, which has a touch-sensitive screen. The operating element 4 is - as explained in more detail below - on a steering wheel 5 of the

Motor vehicle 1 is arranged. With the operating element 4, operator actions of an occupant of the motor vehicle 1, in particular of the driver of the motor vehicle 1, can be detected. If an operating action is detected with the operating element 4, a signal can be transmitted to the control device 3 via a corresponding data line. The control device 3 can now be used as a function of the detected

Operating action Control devices of the motor vehicle 1 or devices. Such functional devices may include, for example, an information and / or entertainment system, a navigation system, an air conditioning system, the

Driver assistance system or the like. The control device 3 can also control mobile devices which are arranged in the motor vehicle 1.

The operating arrangement 2 further comprises a detection device 6. With the aid of the detection device 6, a state change can be detected, which is the

Motor vehicle 1 and / or a component of the motor vehicle 1 relates. Furthermore, with the detection device 6, a state change can be detected, which affects the driver of the motor vehicle 1. If with the detection device 6 a

Status change is detected, a corresponding signal to the

Control device 3 are transmitted. As a result of the state change-as explained in more detail below-the control device 3 can adapt the display or display on the operating element 4.

Fig. 2 shows the operating order 2 in a further embodiment. The present operating arrangement 2 comprises two operating elements 4, which are arranged on the steering wheel 5. In the present case, the operating element 4 are arranged on the spokes 7 of the steering wheel 5. The operating arrangement 2 shown here further comprises a Display device 8, by means of which the driver a corresponding display can be provided. The display device 8 is arranged in an instrument cluster of the motor vehicle 1.

FIG. 3 shows the right-hand operating element 4 from FIG. 2 in an enlarged view. Here it can be seen that the operating element 4 is subdivided into a dynamic range 9 and into a static range 10. In the dynamic area 9 of the operating element 4 or the touch-sensitive screen, the driver a plurality of buttons 1 1 is displayed. By touching one of the buttons 1 1 with a finger 12, an operator action can be performed. The buttons 1 1 can initially be selected. For this purpose, the approach of the finger 12 to the button 1 1 and / or the touch of the button 1 1 can be detected with the finger 12. Subsequently, the button 1 1 can be selected by pressing the finger 12 on the button 1 1. Thus, 1 1 corresponding functional devices or functions can be controlled by the operation of the buttons. In the present example, by the

Buttons 1 1, which represent arrows, for example, titles are selected in an information and / or entertainment system. Furthermore, through the

Button 1 1, a source from which music is provided can be selected. In addition, the music playback can be muted.

In the static area 10 more buttons 13 are displayed. With these buttons 13, for example, the volume can be adjusted and / or a

Voice control can be activated. The buttons 13 in the static area 10 are not changed. In contrast, the buttons 1 1 can be adjusted in the dynamic range 9.

Fig. 4 shows the example of how the display of the buttons 1 1 in the dynamic range 9 can be changed by an operating gesture performed by the driver. In the present case, the buttons 1 1, which are displayed in the dynamic range 9, each divided into groups. Each group includes in the present

Embodiment four buttons 1 1. If the driver performs a predetermined swipe gesture with his finger 12, he can switch between the individual groups or between the individual buttons 1 1. The swipe gesture may be, for example, from a starting point 14 at a first edge of the

dynamic range 9 to an endpoint 15 at a first edge

extending opposite the second edge of the dynamic range 9. In addition, can the predetermined swipe gesture must be selected such that it must be performed within a predetermined area 16. By such a swipe gesture, the driver can adjust the display in the dynamic range 9.

In the display of the control element 4, which is shown on the left in Fig. 4, the driver buttons 1 1 can be displayed, with which he, for example, a

Cruise control of the motor vehicle 1 can control. The display of the operating element 4 in the central area of FIG. 4 corresponds to the display according to FIG. 3. The display of the operating element 4, which is shown on the right in FIG. 4, enables the driver to control various driver assistance systems. For example, a

Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Traffic Signal Recognition (TSR)

Recognition) and a lane change assistant (LCA).

With the detection device 6 state changes can be detected, which affect either the driver or the motor vehicle 1. If with the

Detection device 6 such a state change is detected, the display of the buttons 1 1 is adjusted in the dynamic range 9 with the control device 3. It can be predicted with the control device 3, which

Operating step or which operator actions the driver will possibly perform as a result of the state change. Depending on this, with the control device 3, the buttons 1 1 can be selected from a plurality of buttons, which are associated with this operation. Alternatively or additionally, the type of representation of the buttons 1 1 in the dynamic range 9 can be adjusted.

Such a state change can be, for example, a change in the environment of the motor vehicle 1. This is illustrated with reference to FIG. 5. When the environment of the motor vehicle 1 changes, the display of the buttons 1 1 in the dynamic range 9 can be adjusted. This is the case, for example, when the motor vehicle 1 is moved over a limit. When the motor vehicle 1 travels to another country or state, the dynamic range 9 can be adjusted. In the present embodiment, a button 11 is displayed in the dynamic area 9 as a result of the state change, by means of which the driver can select a local radio station. Such a state change may also be a change in the lighting conditions in the environment and / or a change in the weather conditions in the environment. In such a state change, the display in the dynamic range 9 can be adjusted. For example, the driver can change the

Light conditions and / or the weather conditions different

Driver assistance systems are offered to him in these operations

support. Such a display may, for example, correspond to the right-hand display in FIG. 4.

Fig. 6 shows the example of another state change. Here is the

Change of state by a transition from a manual driving mode of the

Motor vehicle 1 in an autonomous driving mode causes. In this case, the representation in the dynamic range 9 and / or the representation of the button 1 1 in the dynamic range 9 as a result of the transition from the manual drive mode to the autonomous drive mode can be changed. This is simplified here shown by the fact that the dynamic range 9 is shown hatched. In this way, the driver is informed that the driving mode has changed.

FIG. 7 shows another example of the display of the operating element 4 in a transition from a manual driving mode to an autonomous driving mode. Here, the driver is indicated by the button 1 1, which includes the word "AUTO", in the dynamic range 9 that a change from the manual driving operation to the autonomous driving operation is possible

Button 13 in the static area 10, the driver can autonomous

Request driving mode. The confirmation of the operator input of the driver can be represented by a corresponding button 1 1, which represents a hook here. When the motor vehicle 1 is in the autonomous driving mode, the representation in the dynamic range 9 can be changed. In the present case, the representation of the button 13 in the static area 10 is also changed.

In addition, the driver in the autonomous driving mode buttons 1 1 are displayed, with which he can operate mobile devices 17, for example, within the

Motor vehicle 1 are arranged. Furthermore, the driver can be displayed in the dynamic range 9 buttons 1 1, which the switching elements

or operating buttons of the mobile device 17 correspond. About the operation of these buttons 1 1 then the mobile device 17 can be operated or controlled remotely. In addition, in the dynamic region 9, a sliding element 18, by the operation of the driver can switch between the control of different mobile devices 17.

FIG. 8 shows by way of example how the operating arrangement 2 can be coupled to a plurality of mobile devices 17 in the motor vehicle 1. In the present embodiment, the operating arrangement 2 may be connected to a plurality of mobile devices 17 by data transmission. The mobile devices 17 may include, for example, mobile phones,

Smartphones, tablets, smartwatches or sports bracelets. The mobile terminals can be connected, for example, via a radio link, in particular a Bluetooth connection, with the control element 4 for data transmission. The mobile devices 17 may also communicate with the via a Bluetooth connection
