[0002] Method and gesture control device of at least one function of a vehicle
[0003]
[0004] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0005]
[0006] The object of the present patent application is a gesture control method of at least one function of a vehicle according to claim 1, which incorporates notable innovations and advantages, and a device associated with said method, according to claim 13, which also incorporates remarkable innovations and advantages.
[0007]
[0008] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0009]
[0010] There are high-end vehicles in which, in order to control some functions related to the rear seats, such as the ventilation of the rear seats, at least one specific screen is implemented in the rear console area, as well as specific actuators for modify ventilation and temperature.
[0011]
[0012] It is also known the implementation of tablets in the vehicle, or its use, being tablets external to it, through which it is possible to control, by wireless connections, from the rear seats of said functions linked to the rear seats of the vehicle.
[0013]
[0014] In this regard, it is known from the state of the art, as disclosed in document CN105151048 a method and control system for recognition of gestures of a terminal mounted on a vehicle. The method comprises controlling the terminal mounted on the vehicle by detecting the gesture through changes in the electric field. The information of the gesture detected is analyzed and processed to obtain a corresponding action. An instruction is sent to achieve control over the terminal, according to a pre-established instruction. The detection panel can be placed in a seat. In this way people sitting in the front row or in the back of a car can control various applications in the car, such as radio, air conditioning, and the like.
[0015] It is also known from the state of the art, according to document US20160084951, a system for recognizing movement by analyzing a radio signal, including: a radio signal transmitter; a radio signal receiver; and a motion recognition processing device configured to: i) analyze the received radio signal, ii) extract and classify a gesture from the analyzed radio signal, iii) recognize the gesture extracted and classified, and iv) perform the control of the vehicle device based on gesture recognition.
[0016]
[0017] Thus, and in view of the foregoing, it is seen that there is still a need to allow the control by gestures of certain functions of the vehicle by the users of the rear seats of a vehicle interior, optimizing the required resources.
[0018]
[0019] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0020]
[0021] The present invention consists of a method, and its associated device, for the gesture control of at least one function of a vehicle, in particular of functions linked to rear seats of the vehicle, of variables such as air conditioning, music, and the ambient light.
[0022]
[0023] Currently implementing actuators and screens additional to those installed in the dashboard results in a substantial increase in costs and complexity. In particular, the installation of screens and actuators in the rear of the front seats or in the central area of the rear seats, is used only in high-end vehicles. On the other hand, the use of portable external devices, such as tablets and smartphones, requires occupying a wireless connection channel with the vehicle, in addition to requiring a previous installation of software enabled to control vehicle functions. In the case of portable external devices, it is a risk element inside the vehicle, since, in case of impact, it can become an object that causes damage to the occupants of the vehicle.
[0024]
[0025] The present invention is based on gesture control to allow, from the rear or rear seats, the control of certain functions of the vehicle. By rear or rear seats means the rows of seats after the first line of the driver and co-driver.
[0026] As for the "Hardware", or physical elements necessary for a basic embodiment of the present invention, to say that it must consist of an HMI (Human Machine Interface) that has a special mode of representation for the variables that affect in particular to the rear seats of the passenger compartment.
[0027]
[0028] In a generic manner, mention that, in the context of the present invention, a series of predefined gestures are determined as signals that induce changes in the variables or parameters of the vehicle. For example, and in a non-limiting way, raising hand increases intensity, lowering hand reduces intensity, and moving the hand to the left changes the context or function to be modified.
[0029]
[0030] In summary, and as the most relevant characteristics of the method of the invention, the following actions or steps can be cited, in a non-limiting manner:
[0031] - realization of a predetermined gesture to activate the HMI management from the following places;
[0032] - authorization by the driver user;
[0033] - representation by means of the HMI of a simplified context or information set with only functions of interest for the rear seats;
[0034] - control by gestures and navigation in the simplified HMI;
[0035] - communication between the gesture detector and the HMI.
[0036]
[0037] Thus, and more specifically, the gesture control method of at least one function of a vehicle, comprises the steps of:
[0038] - recognizing at least one first gesture of an occupant of at least one rear seat of the vehicle,
[0039] - enabling a control of the at least one function of the vehicle based on at least one first recognized gesture,
[0040] - recognizing at least one second gesture of the occupant of at least one rear seat of the vehicle,
[0041] - and controlling the at least one function of the vehicle based on the at least one recognized second gesture.
[0042]
[0043] In this way, the driver can ignore the manipulation of the controls that mainly affect the rear seats, resulting in greater safety in driving. In this way, it is feasible to present to the user of the rear seats more functionalities that affect the users of the rear seats, for example in terms of the level of lighting, or the volume of the radio, increasing comfort by increasing their decision autonomy. Advantageously, the need to enable a control of the at least one function of the vehicle is emphasized, so that an occupant of a previous seat of the vehicle authorizes the gesture control of the at least one function of the vehicle, resulting in an increase in safety in the vehicle and control by a driver of the vehicle of the parameters of said vehicle.
[0044]
[0045] Additionally, the at least one first gesture is different from the at least one second gesture. The first gesture is a predefined gesture, which allows to awaken or initiate the method of the present invention. On the contrary, the at least one second gesture, are previously memorized gestures and known by the control unit to control the at least one function of the vehicle.
[0046]
[0047] Advantageously, the method comprises a further step of representing, by means of a graphic representation device, in particular an HMI, the at least one function of the vehicle. Said action to represent is based on the previous stage of controlling the at least one function. In this way the user, both the driver and the occupant of the at least one rear seat, has the possibility of visually observing the modifications introduced by the occupant in said function.
[0048]
[0049] According to another aspect of the invention, the at least one graphic display device is a first interface, where the at least one first interface is arranged on an instrument panel or console of the vehicle, so that both the driver and the occupant of the at least one rear seat observe in the first interface the function of the vehicle to be controlled. The resource optimization of the present invention is emphasized, since the first interface is the graphic representation device arranged in the instrument panel of the vehicle. In this way, the first interface can be controlled in a tactile way by the occupants of the previous places and can be controlled by gestures by the occupants of the subsequent places.
[0050]
[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the step of representing in the first interface the at least one function of the vehicle comprises representing the at least one function in a simplified manner, so that the at least one function is visible from the at least one rear seat of the vehicle. Thus, the at least one function is easily understandable in its meaning, even in spite of the distance between the rear seats and the dashboard or console of the vehicle. As an example, the at least one simplified function is represented with a larger font size, with a higher contrast, eliminating non-relevant information ...
[0052]
[0053] In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the a graphic display device is a second interface, where the at least one second interface is arranged in at least one rear seat of the vehicle. In this way, the user of the rear seats has easier viewing of the information that appears in said graphic representation device, and therefore its interaction with it.
[0054]
[0055] More specifically, the step of controlling the at least one function of the vehicle comprises modifying at least one parameter of the vehicle, wherein the at least one parameter of the vehicle is linked to the at least one rear seat of the vehicle. In this way, the occupant of the rear seats has greater autonomy when it comes to managing the variables or parameters of the vehicle that affect them.
[0056]
[0057] According to another aspect of the invention, the method of the present invention comprises a further step of determining the occupant of the at least one rear seat of the vehicle executing the at least one second gesture, wherein the step of modifying the at least one parameter of the vehicle comprises modifying the at least one parameter of the vehicle linked to the occupant of the at least one rear seat of the determined vehicle. In this way the variation of variables or parameters of the environment of the passenger compartment is limited to a greater extent to each of the occupants in particular, minimizing the influence of changes on other places. Thus, the method of the invention makes it possible to differentiate between a user of a left rear seat with a right rear seat in order to exclusively change the parameter to that user. More in detail and by way of example, determining the occupant of the at least one rear seat of the vehicle comprises analyzing the at least one second gesture and determining the thumb position of the occupant of the rear seat. Depending on the position of the thumb, there is a difference between the user of the left rear seat and the user of the right rear seat.
[0058]
[0059] More particularly, the step of controlling the at least one function of the vehicle comprises navigating between the at least one function of the vehicle and / or selecting the at least one function of the vehicle and / or increasing an intensity of the at least one function of the vehicle. I reduce an intensity of the at least one function of the vehicle. Said operations are of interest to a user in order to increase his feeling of comfort in the passenger compartment. Said control actions are carried out, as mentioned, by means of the at least one second gesture, wherein, advantageously said at least one second gesture is previously known by the control unit.
[0060]
[0061] According to another aspect of the invention, the method comprises a further step of determining an authorization to enable control of the at least one function of the vehicle. In this way, if an authorization is determined, the control of the at least one vehicle function by the occupant of at least one rear seat is enabled. On the contrary, if an authorization is not determined, the control of the at least one vehicle function by the occupant of at least one rear seat is not enabled.
[0062]
[0063] More particularly, the authorization to enable control of the at least one function is performed by an occupant of at least one previous seat of the vehicle, preferably the driver of the vehicle. In this way the users of the posterior seats can not control any variable of the passenger compartment without the consent of an occupant of the previous places. Preferably, the authorization to enable control is on the part of the driver of the vehicle. Additionally, the authorization to enable control is through the first interface. Alternatively, the authorization to enable the control is by means of a voice control, an actuator on the steering wheel of the vehicle and / or a third predefined gesture.
[0064]
[0065] Additionally, the method of the invention comprises an additional step of disabling control of the at least one vehicle function. In particular, disabling can be for a period of inactivity and / or by means of a performance in the first interface and / or a performance in the second interface and / or by a vehicle control unit, where a priority information must be shown to through the first interface. In this way it is possible to deactivate the operation, in order to avoid situations of confusion, or with contradictory instructions. Accordingly, the step of disabling the control of the at least one function of the vehicle can be performed by the occupant of a previous seat, by the occupant of a subsequent seat and / or by the control unit.
[0066]
[0067] More particularly, the step of recognizing the at least one first gesture and / or the step of recognizing the at least one second gesture further comprises the steps of:
[0068] - transmit a wireless signal, receive the transmitted wireless signal,
[0069] - analyze a variation between the wireless signal transmitted and the wireless signal received,
[0070] - identifying the at least one first gesture and / or the at least one second gesture based on the variation between the transmitted wireless signal, the received wireless signal and previously stored information.
[0071] In this way, the system executing the method of the present invention is capable of determining that a gesture has been produced and its typology. Each identified gesture is equivalent to a predetermined order, so that when the execution of the at least one first gesture and / or the execution of the at least one second gesture is determined, the method executes the order according to the information previously stored.
[0072]
[0073] In a preferred embodiment, a complete and sequential sequence of all possible stages comprises the steps of: making a first predefined gesture, representing the information of the function menu through the graphic representation device of a first interface, issuing a message through the graphic representation device of the first interface requesting authorization, determining an information entry that authorizes the control by subsequent places, representing through the first interface the at least one function to be controlled, said representation preferably in a way Simplified in the first interface, recognize a second gesture, interpret the second gesture, control the parameter of the modified function according to the nature of the gesture, represent the changes that occur in the function by the first interface, and finally, disable the control of the function.
[0074]
[0075] It is also object of the present invention, a gesture control device of at least one vehicle function, configured to execute the method described above. Said gesture control device has the successive advantages mentioned above for the method of the present invention.
[0076]
[0077] Point out that, specifically, it is the control unit that is configured or programmed to execute the method described above. Specify that the control unit is in communication with the detector, the first interface, and the second interface, preferably in cable communication, through the data bus of the vehicle itself, which increases the reliability and speed of data transmission and Instructions.
[0078] According to another aspect of the invention, the device comprises at least one detector, wherein the at least one detector is configured to recognize the at least one first gesture and recognize the at least one second gesture. In this way the user of the rear seats can transmit in a simple way his willingness to change some or parameter of the vehicle.
[0079]
[0080] Advantageously, the detector is oriented vertically, so that the detector recognizes the at least one first gesture and recognizes the at least one second gesture executed on top of said detector. Thus, by its position and orientation, its detection is fast and reliable.
[0081]

[0096] DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0097]
[0098] In view of the mentioned figures and, according to the numbering adopted, one can observe in them an example of a preferred embodiment of the invention, which comprises the parts and elements that are indicated and described in detail below.
[0099]
[0100] Figure 1 shows, in an illustrative way, a perspective view of the driver's seat 4 of a vehicle 1. Said vehicle 1 comprises a graphic representation device arranged in the instrument panel, performing the functions of the first interface 13, through which the driver 4 communicates with the vehicle 1.
[0101]
[0102] In figure 2 it is possible to observe, in an illustrative way, a view of a diagram with the integrating elements of the device of the present invention, where the connection existing between the control unit 11, the first interface 13 can be seen. Additionally, the control unit 11 is in communication with the detector 15, preferably by physical means, such as a communication bus. The detector 15 is arranged, according to a preferred embodiment, in the central area of the rear seats 12 of the vehicle 1, ie between the right rear seat and the left rear seat of the vehicle 1. More specifically, the at least one detector 15 is configured to recognize the at least one first gesture 61 and recognize the at least one second gesture 62.
[0103]
[0104] Preferably, the detector 15 is at least one infrared sensor, which is implemented in the rear area of the console, specifically in the axis of symmetry of the vehicle 1, between the rear square 12 and the rear square 12 left. More particularly, as can be seen in Figure 3, the detector 15 is oriented vertically, so that the detector 15 recognizes the at least one first gesture 61 and recognizes the at least one second gesture 62 executed on top of the detector 15. In particular, the
[0105]
[0106]
[0107] infrared are oriented vertically and pointing upwards, so that they can be used by any of the users 5 of the rear seats 12. Said detector 15 has a physical connection with the system and with the control unit 11, which is more fast and effective than a wireless connection.
[0108]
[0109] The method of the present invention executes a series of basic steps, among which are found, in an illustrative way, and not limiting, the following:
[0110] a detector 15 or sensor detects a specific gesture 6 or first gesture 61, such as the hand in the form of a fist, in the vertical line pointed by said detector 15. This first gesture 61 is recognized, so that it is detected a willingness on the part of the users 5 of the rear seats 12 to control by means of gestures 6 some functions or parameters of the vehicle;
[0111] - the control unit 11 receives the information that a user 5 of the rear seats 12 wishes to control some variable or parameter of a function of the vehicle 1 by means of gestures 6;
[0112] - the control unit 11 sends a query to the driver 4 of the vehicle 1, in particular through the HMI screen installed in the instrument panel of the vehicle 1 or first interface 13. Through said first interface 13 the possibility is shown to allow users 5 of the rear seats 12 to modify parameters of vehicle 1, before which the response may be of acceptance or of refusal of access;
[0113] - the control unit 11 receives an acceptance by the driver 4 to the consultation, so that a control of certain variables of the vehicle 1 is enabled from the rear seats 12;
[0114] - the HMI or first interface 13 represents a reduced and simplified menu or context to which the user 5 of the rear seats 12 can access, being able to modify, by way of example, the following variables or parameters linked to the rear seats 12: ventilation, ambient light, music volume (intensifying or reducing only the speakers of the rear seats), heating in the rear seats, or any other variable or particular parameter for the rear seats 12;
[0115] - the detector 15 detects gestures 6, in particular second gestures 62, made by the user 6 of the rear seats 12. Said gestures 6 allow to change the variable or parameters to be modified, from among the different available functions. In addition, they allow access within their content, and raise or lower intensities and / or volumes;
[0116] - the HMI or first interface 13 represents, simultaneously with the changes or alterations executed by the user 5 through the at least one second gesture 62, said changes. Of this mode, both the driver 4 and the user 5 of the rear seat 12 see the modifications made on the HMI screen or first interface 13. It is noted that the HMI is only representing a reduced content for the user 5 of the rear seats 12, in order to have an information in response to the steps and instructions he is making;
[0117] - Finally, the control unit 11 disables the control of functions by the users 5 of rear seats 12, so that the same information that was being represented is shown in the HMI before enabling the control of functions by the users. 5 users of rear seats 12.
[0118]
[0119] In Figure 3 a second alternative mode of the present invention can be observed. In said figure 3 there is shown in an illustrative way a perspective view of one of the rear seats 12 with a console interposed between said seats. In said figure 3 can be seen the interior of the interior of a vehicle 1, with a second interface 14 between the two rear seats 12, which includes a detector 15 designed to capture the gestures that the user 5 occupant of said rear seats 12 perform with its hand 51 or wrist 52, in order to indicate to the control unit 11 its desire to change some variable or parameter of at least one function 2 of the vehicle 1. This function is visible in the graphic representation device, either in the first interface 13, either in the second interface 14, in the form of a menu 3 graphic, with options and icons preferably.
[0120]
[0121] Figure 4A shows, illustratively, a view of a first activation gesture 61, with the hand 51 open. Thus, the detector 15 transmits a wireless signal, receives the transmitted wireless signal and analyzes the variation between the transmitted wireless signal and the received wireless signal. Based on a previously stored information, the control unit 11 determines whether the gesture 6 made by the user 5 coincides with the at least one first gesture 61 memorized. If affirmative, a control of the at least one function 2 of the vehicle 1 is enabled and access to the operation of certain variables and parameters of the vehicle 1 is activated, to the users 5 of the rear seats 12, preferably keeping the palm open above the sensor or detector 15, at a certain distance, for a determined number of seconds, after which the user 5 receives an information in response from the control unit 11.
[0122] Once the first gesture 61 is recognized, the control unit enables the control of the at least one function 2 of the vehicle 1. The enabling of the control can include an authorization by a user 5 of a previous seat of the vehicle 1, preferably of a driver 4 of the vehicle 1 and preferably by means of the first interface 13, although it can also be carried out by voice control, or by an actuator in the steering wheel of the vehicle 1. In the event that the authorization is affirmative, the vehicle is controlled minus a function 2 of the vehicle 1.
[0123]
[0124] In FIGS. 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E and 4F, a plurality of second gestures 62 are illustrated, in an illustrative and non-limiting manner. Thus, the detector 15 transmits a wireless signal, receives the transmitted wireless signal and analyzes the variation between the wireless signal transmitted and the wireless signal received. Based on a previously stored information, the control unit 11 determines whether the gesture 6 performed by the user 5 coincides with the at least one second gesture 62 memorized. According to the second recognized gesture 62, the user 5 is able to modify at least one parameter of the vehicle 1. This parameter of the vehicle 1 is preferably linked to the rear seat 12 of the vehicle 1, thus being able to improve the comfort of the user 5 of the square rear 12. More specifically, the user 5 can navigate between the at least one function 2 of the vehicle 1 and / or select the at least one function 2 of the vehicle 1 and / or increase one intensity of the at least one function 2 of the vehicle 1 and / or reducing an intensity of the at least one function 2 of the vehicle 1.
[0125]
[0126] Thus, and in an illustrative manner, and not limitation, the first gesture 61 for activating the at least one second interface 14 is a hand 51 in the form of a fist, the second gesture 62 for selecting the at least one function 2 of the vehicle 1 from among a menu 3 is to move a hand 51 from left to right or from right to left, the second gesture 62 to enter the at least one function 2 of vehicle 1 selected from a menu 3 is to rotate one wrist 52 from top to bottom, the second gesture 62 to increase the intensity of at least one function 2 of vehicle 1 is to move a hand 51 from bottom to top, and the second gesture 62 to reduce the intensity of at least one function 2 of vehicle 1 is to move a hand 51 from top to bottom.
[0127]
[0128] Figure 4B shows, illustratively, a second gesture 62 for navigating between the plurality of functions 2 of the vehicle 1, moving the hand 51 open laterally,
[0129]
[0130]
[0131] and a third gesture 6 of selecting the desired function 2, turning the wrist 52 down, which can be considered within the second gesture category 62.
[0132]
[0133] Mention by way of illustrative example, that once activated, in the first or second interface 13, 14 may appear three options mentioned above: Air conditioning or air conditioning, music and ambient light. The user 5 accesses each one of them by moving the hand 51, with the palm open, moving it laterally to select the option that interests. Subsequently, user 5 rotates wrist 52 downward to access the content of the option that has just been selected.
[0134]
[0135] Figure 4C shows, illustratively, a view of a fourth control gesture 6, in the category of the so-called second gesture 62, moving and closing the hand 51.
[0136]
[0137] Mention by way of illustrative example that, once inside the air conditioning option, the intensity of the air conditioning function 2 is reduced by a closing of the hand 51 of the user 5, from a gesture 6 with the fingers extended to a gesture 6 with closed fingers. On the contrary, the intensity of the air conditioning function 2 is increased by an opening of the hand 51 of the user 5, from a gesture 6 with the fingers closed to a gesture 6 with the fingers extended.
[0138]
[0139] In figure 4D can be seen, in an illustrative way, a view of a fifth gesture 6, in the category of the so-called second control gesture 62, moving the hand 51 closed.
[0140]
[0141] Mention by way of illustrative example that, with the music function, to select a different song, hand 51 is moved sideways to navigate among the available songs according to the direction of interest, in order to select a song. To play a song, a gesture 6 is made to close the hand 51.
[0142]
[0143] In figure 4E it is possible to observe, in an illustrative way, a view of a sixth control gesture 6, in the category of the so-called second gesture 62, opening the closed hand 51.
[0144]
[0145] Mention by way of illustrative example that, with the function of ambient light, in order to activate a palette of colors that can be seen in the graphic representation device or screen, the hand 51 must be moved to the left. After, to select the color that interests, the hand 51 is rotated and a gesture 6 of closing the hand 51 is made to apply the color that appears in the graphic representation device.
[0146]
[0147] In FIG. 4F, an illustrative view of a seventh control gesture 6 can be observed, in the category of the so-called second gesture 62, by turning the wrist 52 upwards.
[0148]
[0149] Optionally, and by way of illustrative example, to return to the menu 3 of the gesture control 6, with the open hand 51 the wrist 52 is rotated upwards. And to cancel the gesture control action 6, hand 51 is withdrawn, activating a process opposite to that of activation that will enter a cancellation routine.
[0150]
[0151] According to a particular embodiment, the detector 15 determines the occupant 5 of the at least one rear seat 12 of the vehicle 1, so that the control unit 11 is able to recognize if it is the user 5 sitting in the rear seat 12 left or it's about user 5 sitting in the back square 12 right. In this way, the control unit 11 modifies the parameter of the vehicle 1 that affects the identified rear seat 12, improving the comfort of the users 5 individually and effectively. For this purpose, the detector 15 determines the position of the thumb of the hand 51 of the user 5. Based on the position of the thumb of the hand 51 in comparison with the rest of the hand 51 of the user 5, the detector 11 determines the position of the user 5
[0152]
[0153] Additionally, the method comprises an additional step of disabling the control of the at least one function 2 of the vehicle 1, so that the driver 4 can cancel at all times the interaction of the users 5 of the rear seats 12. This action can be perform by a touch on the screen of the first interface 13, in an icon to go backwards in the routine, or cancel completely and return to the start menu 3. Also, optionally, it can be canceled by a voice command, or also if the detector detects for a certain period of time that a hand 51 is facing the first interface 13. Alternatively, the disabling occurs after a period of inactivity has elapsed.
