Along with the upgrading of in-vehicle electronic system, the function in the above-mentioned functions tabulation may further increase.Manage above function and more and more can become the problem that perplexs the driver.
Concerning driving procedure, the correlation degree of each item function and driving, and significance level possibly be different.For instance, in certain driving scene in driving procedure, as near near the unknown destination or the driver be under the situation such as new hand, the driver can definitely pay close attention to driving a vehicle helpful information, and does not want to receive the interference of other information.In some common Driving Scenes; As on the way to office, go at the road of being familiar with or whether mood is loosened and do not pay close attention to and take a wrong way etc.; The driver is aforesaid to the helpful information of driving a vehicle except paying close attention to; Also have some amusement demands, Source Music, music etc. are not very disturbed the recreation of the behavior of driving.
In table 1, the function that above two category informations are provided is divided, wherein provide the function to the helpful information of driving a vehicle to be called as auxiliary driving function, its classification designator is A, navigates, news, map shows, road book and track recording all belong to this type of when doing something for the occasion; And the function that the information that lays particular stress on the amusement aspect is provided is called as non-auxiliary driving function, and its classification designator is B, and music, radio, intercom promptly belong to this type of.
In addition, in one embodiment, in-vehicle electronic system also possibly comprise such as functions such as video playback, stock exchange.As far as the driver, this type function is taken sb's mind off sth very much, therefore it is classified as non-driving function, and classification designator is C.
What deserves to be mentioned is that above classification can not fixed, but can be by static or dynamically adjustment.So-called static adjustment, the system that is meant just can have adjusted non-type after upgrading.So-called dynamically adjustment, system need not upgrading, but service centre directly obtains classifying rules and upgrades local (being the in-vehicle electronic system side) from high in the clouds.
In the in-vehicle electronic system environment, function is normally accomplished by application program.Usually, a function can corresponding application program.But be appreciated that the function and application program can not have one-to-one relationship.
In in-vehicle electronic system, only comprising category-A and category-B function is common situation, and some embodiments of the present invention are mainly paid close attention to the situation that in-vehicle electronic system comprises functional classification A, B.In further embodiments, when having comprised functional classification C in the in-vehicle electronic system, can forbid with these functions be added into the relevant pattern of driving a vehicle in, the strategy of forbidding these functions when driving perhaps is provided.
In one embodiment of the invention, pay close attention under the situation of driving at needs, define a kind of " being absorbed in driving " pattern at least; Under opposite situation, define a kind of " easily driving " pattern at least.Following table 2 is exemplary absorbed driving mode capabilities tables.Comprise sign, title and the classification of pattern ID, MODE name and each function in the menu.Visible from table 2, these functions all belong to the category-A function, promptly auxiliary driving function.Be appreciated that much these functions can be more still less.At this, the function combinations in the same pattern is called the function collection.
Table 2 is absorbed in driving mode capabilities table
Following table 3 is exemplary light driving mode capabilities tables.Comprise sign, title and the classification of pattern ID, MODE name and each function in the menu.Visible from table 3, these functions comprise the navigation feature that belongs to category-A function (promptly auxiliary driving function), also comprise the music and the radio that belong to category-B function (being non-auxiliary driving function).Be appreciated that much these functions can be more still less.At this, the function combinations in the same pattern is called the function collection.
Table 3 is driving mode capabilities table easily
In one embodiment, can use such as the so simple data structure of array and characterize a function collection, for example be absorbed in the corresponding function collection of driving pattern and can be expressed as (1,2,3,4).The corresponding function collection of the pattern of for example easily driving a vehicle can be expressed as (1,6,7).
A plurality of patterns that can prestore in the in-vehicle electronic system comprise above absorbed driving pattern and light driving pattern, at least with the initial configuration as system.In addition, can prestore in the system to the pattern of other specific occasions, the row mode of for example banding together out, its corresponding function collection, it comprises navigation, map shows, track recording, intercom, and this function collection is characterized by (1,3,5,8) with array.
Fig. 4 is illustrated on the display interface of display 110 example that presents above pattern to the driver.In the selective situation of a plurality of patterns was arranged, the driver can select one of them pattern.Alternatively, system can present the pattern of a recommendation to the driver, lets the driver confirm whether use this pattern.
According to different phase, what the amusement that in car, occurs was gone increases, or under the situation of person for driving a car to the demand adjustment of DAS (Driver Assistant System), can be by driver's independent assortment function, to define more pattern.Fig. 4 illustrates an interface that allows the user to create new model.In this interface, but user's input pattern title, and from the feature list shown in the table 1, add any function to this pattern.When having created new model, produce menu that should pattern, be similar to table 2 and table 3.
Further, allow the user that the pattern of having created is made amendment, Fig. 5 illustrates one and allows the user to revise the interface of creation mode.In this interface, the user can revise MODE name, the existing function under the puncturing pattern, and from the feature list shown in the table 2, add any function to this pattern.When having created new model, upgrade menu that should pattern.
From security consideration, can the absorbed driving pattern of systemic presupposition be got rid of outside the pattern that allows the user to revise with light driving pattern.
The advantage that embodiments of the invention also utilize high in the clouds to calculate provides from high in the clouds server to the in-vehicle electronic system embodiment of new model or function more.
Fig. 7 illustrates function and schema update framework according to an embodiment of the invention.With reference to shown in Figure 7, link through network 300 between in-vehicle electronic system 100 and the high in the clouds server 200.This network can be networks such as GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA.In-vehicle electronic system 100 1 ends have been kept a data storage 1040, and this data storage 1040 is to be configured in the nonvolatile memory shown in Figure 1 104.High in the clouds server 200 has also been kept a data storage 202.Menu (like table 2, table 3) under the feature list of in-vehicle electronic system mentioned above (i.e. table 1), each pattern can be stored in this data storage 202.
If the functional classification change in the specific in-vehicle electronic system 100; High in the clouds server 200 takes out the functional classification after upgrading from data storage 202; Send to in-vehicle electronic system 100 through network; The latter classifies through wireless communication unit 108 (with reference to Fig. 1) collection functions, and the feature list of the in-vehicle electronic system in data storage 202 is upgraded.
If the new model that is applicable to specific in-vehicle electronic system 100 is arranged; Perhaps original pre-stored patterns of in-vehicle electronic system 100 needs change; High in the clouds server 200 takes out the pattern after upgrading from data storage 202; Send to in-vehicle electronic system 100 through network, the pattern of the latter after wireless communication unit 108 (with reference to Fig. 1) is collected renewal, and the pre-stored patterns menu (like table 1, table 2) of the in-vehicle electronic system in data storage 202 upgraded.
A plurality of pre-stored patterns are being provided, and are allowing the driver to create new model or revise on the basis of creation mode, the embodiment of the method that proposes between a plurality of patterns, to switch.Through these embodiment, the driver can select appropriate pattern based on different driving scene, and starts high function or the application program of the degree of association.
Fig. 8 illustrates the flow process of the in-vehicle electronic system mode switching method of first embodiment of the invention.With reference to shown in Figure 8, flow process may further comprise the steps:
In step 400, on the operation interface of in-vehicle electronic system, present various modes to the driver.For example, with reference to shown in Figure 3, when the MODE key in user's push unit, can appear to the driver and be absorbed in the driving pattern, easily drive a vehicle pattern and other, supply the driver to select by the self-defining pattern of driver.
In step 402,, start the function in the first corresponding function collection, thereby get into first pattern according to the instruction of selected first pattern of driver.
For example; With reference to shown in Figure 3; When the driver has selected absorbed driving pattern, have only navigation, news, map shows, the so auxiliary driving function of road book are activated when doing something for the occasion, and can not be activated such as the such amusement function of radio; Therefore the driver is difficult for being disturbed, and can drive more absorbedly.Function after " startup " can be at the front stage operation of system.
Optional, like step 404, load the operation interface that these functions that start arrive this in-vehicle electronic system.These functions that started like this are presented on the display interface with direct mode, supply the driver to select through physical button or virtual key.This can reduce the driver and navigate to the required operation of specific function.
In step 406, receive driver's the instruction that switches to second pattern.For example, when the driver has arrived the place of being familiar with, hope that with state driving easily, therefore instruction switches to light driving pattern, the interface of switching is with reference to shown in Figure 6.
In step 408, the first function collection and relatively to the second function collection that should second pattern.For instance, system compares menu listed in table 2 and the table 3, to obtain the difference function of the two, like the two function that all has, only is included in the function in the first function collection, only is included in the function in the second function collection.
In step 410, according to comparative result, this first function collection of system held and the overlapping function of this second function collection are closed the function that only is included in this first function collection, and start the function that only is included in this second function collection.
Alternatively, system does not close the function that only is included in this first function collection, just suspends these functions, perhaps these functions is put into system's running background (promptly hanging up).
Optional, in step 412, adjust the operation interface of this in-vehicle electronic system, make it only to load the function in this second function collection.
In one embodiment, in-vehicle electronic system can only allow the driver to use the function under the present mode.For example under aforesaid first pattern (or second pattern), system can forbid the first function collection (the perhaps second function collection) function in addition.
In another embodiment, in-vehicle electronic system allows the driver to use extra function.Yet, from security consideration,, in-vehicle electronic system lays particular stress in the auxiliary pattern of driving a vehicle when being in, and system judges that preferably whether some function conflicts with present mode, determines whether allowing the startup of this function.
Fig. 9 illustrates the flow process of the in-vehicle electronic system mode switching method of second embodiment of the invention.With reference to shown in Figure 9, flow process also comprises step 405 and step 413, and the one or more disable functions that conflict with present mode with setting are for selecting.
System can be provided with the disable function tabulation to each pattern, through the one or more disable functions of disable function tabulation acquisition of inquiry present mode, carries out above-mentioned steps 405 and 413.System can also obtain one or more disable functions through all functions in the traversal feature list based on judgment criterion, thereby carries out above-mentioned steps 405 and 413.
For instance; When in-vehicle electronic system is in when being absorbed in the driving pattern, if the user wants to start radio function, when finding radio function and current absorbed driving pattern conflict in step 405 or step 413; Promptly refusal starts this function, and sends prompting to the driver.
Figure 10 illustrates the flow process of the in-vehicle electronic system mode switching method of third embodiment of the invention.With reference to shown in Figure 10; Different with Fig. 9 is; Flow process receives driver's selecting other functions outside the second function collection in step 414; Judge in step 415 whether selected function conflicts with present mode then, deciding is this function (step 416) of refusal, or starts this function (step 417).
In one embodiment, when having comprised in the in-vehicle electronic system 100, allow for these functions and the extra non-driving pattern of other function setting such as the such function of video playback, stock exchange.As for example, the corresponding function collection of non-driving pattern, it comprises: music, video playback, radio and stock exchange function.System allows the driver under dead ship condition, to get into this pattern.And system can be as process flow diagram 9 and 10, and refusal video playback, the such function of stock exchange are activated under the driving pattern.
The advantage that the embodiment that more than describes compares prior art is that system can be different Driving Scenes different patterns is set, thereby provides higher with this pattern association degree; The perhaps stronger function of importance; Simultaneously, can suppress lower, or the launching of function of conflict arranged with the present mode correlation degree; Thereby avoid disperseing driver's notice, improve the security of driving.When driving scene changed, embodiments of the invention can switch to another pattern according to driver's request, to close those functions that no longer are fit to the situation of presence.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; Right its is not that any those skilled in the art are not breaking away from the spirit and scope of the present invention in order to qualification the present invention; When can doing a little modification and perfect, so protection scope of the present invention is when being as the criterion with what claims defined.
