Description

Method for moving at least one display content

The invention relates to a method and a system for shifting or transmitting at least one display content to different display areas in the interior of a motor vehicle.

In the interior of a motor vehicle, a plurality of display units, usually so-called. Displays or display panels may be arranged, on which information on the motor vehicle and its environment and infotainment display contents are displayed. Several display contents can be displayed and / or displayed on a display unit. The display units are usually arranged independently of each other, so that display contents to be displayed in the respective display units are to be called independently of one another. In this case, the respective display contents are usually called up via mutually independent operating elements.

A head-up display for a motor vehicle is known from the publication DE 101 44 075 B4 and comprises an image generating unit for generating image information to be displayed as light beams from the image forming unit directly or via a projection optics on a partially reflecting glass, in particular on a windshield, is projectable. The image generation unit comprises an OLED display for generating the image information to be displayed. In this case, in front of the OLED display, a light-directing element is arranged with a light guide structure extending over its surface, by means of which the light beams generated by the OLED display can be oriented approximately parallel to one another.

A method and an apparatus for providing a graphical user interface are the subject of the document DE 10 2009 059 867 A1. In the process, objects are displayed on a display surface. In addition, a first gesture of a user is detected on or in front of the display area. At least a subset of the displayed objects are shifted in relation to the detected gesture regardless of the positions of those objects on the display area in a first area of the display area in the vicinity of the position at which the first gesture was executed and detected.

CONFIRMATION COPY Document DE 10 2009 036 371 A1 relates to a method and a device for providing a user interface in a motor vehicle. In this case, the device comprises at least one display device which provides at least two display areas. Furthermore, the device comprises an operating device and a control device for controlling the display in the display areas, so that a graphic object can be displayed in the first display area and the graphic object can be displaced into the second display area by means of the operating device.

To display the same display contents on several display units, d. H. To make a synchronization of display content, it was therefore previously necessary to call the corresponding display content on the respective display units individually via respective controls.

It is now desirable to simplify handling of display contents on independent display units, in particular synchronization of the display contents of the independent display units. Furthermore, an exchange of display content in different display areas of a display unit should be facilitated.

Against this background, a method and a system with the features of the independent claims are presented. Further embodiments of the invention are described in the corresponding dependent claims and the description.

With the method and the system, it is possible to easily and efficiently synchronize display contents between different independent display units. It is also possible to exchange display contents of different display areas of a display unit with each other.

The invention relates to a method for shifting or transmitting at least one display content displayed on at least one first display unit in a motor vehicle from a first display area to a second display area. In this case, a gesture connected by a user with a movement is detected spatially resolved as a control command. Thereby a start of the movement becomes the first one Display area and completion of the movement associated with the second display area, these two display areas are independent of each other. The display content is displayed on the second display area after the movement is completed.

In this case, in an embodiment of the method according to the invention, it is possible for the first display area and the second display area to be located on the at least one first display unit and for the display content shown in the first display area to be displayed after completion of the movement, ie for display content displayed in the second display area. H. is exchanged after completing the gesture. It is to be noted that only the complete gesture associated with the movement is detected as a control command or operation, and only after the detection of the gesture, the operation, such as in the above-mentioned case, the exchange of display contents is made.

In general, the term "move" in the context of the present description is to be understood on the one hand as a transfer of display content in the sense of copying and pasting, which means that the display content after completion of the movement, i. H. the gesture is displayed both on the first display area and on the second display area. Furthermore, the term "move" should also mean, as explained in the preceding example, that display contents are exchanged between display regions, such as here the first display region and the second display region, so that the display content is transferred from the first display region to the second display region and as a result it is no longer displayed in the first display area, although the previously in the second

Display area displayed display content is then displayed in the first display area. An application of this embodiment of the method according to the invention is, for example, in a viewable for a driver of a motor vehicle display unit, in which the driver by a gesture in a first display area large and clearly displayed display content, such as a speedometer with a in a second display area, in which, for example, a clock is shown, wants to exchange, so that ultimately the clock is displayed in the first clear and large viewable display area for him. The same applies to a possible exchange of other display contents of other display areas within a display unit, such as. a display, so that the driver always has the opportunity to display a currently relevant for him display content in the display area, which represents the display content most clearly and possibly largest. In a further embodiment, the first display area is on the at least one first

Display unit and the second display area on at least one second display unit, which is independent of the at least one first display unit located.

In this case, according to the invention, the display content displayed in the first display area is displayed with a display content shown in the second display area after completion of the movement, ie. H. the gesture, adjusted so that the display content is displayed in both the first and in the second display area. That is, the display contents of the first display area on the first display unit are synchronized with the display contents of the second display area of the second display unit. Such a procedure is possible for display contents of one or more display areas of the first display unit, which are to be synchronized and respectively displayed in respective display areas of the second display unit. However, it is also conceivable that an entirety of display contents displayed on the first display unit are synchronized with the second display unit in the sense that ultimately both display units represent the same contents.

In the scenario of a motor vehicle in which a driver and a front passenger sit, it is conceivable, for example, that a display unit assigned to the driver and a display unit assigned to the front passenger, which initially represent different display contents, are adjusted such that one is the same for the driver for the passenger relevant information is shifted as display content accordingly, so that ultimately this display content is displayed on both display units alike. It is also conceivable that there is a third display unit to which display contents can be displaced both by both the first display unit associated with the driver and by the second display unit associated with the front passenger, and by both the driver and the front passenger. are visible. It is also possible that, depending on the viewing angle, the visibility of the display content on the provided third display unit differs from that of the driver. driver, which is particularly relevant in the driver's particular situation on the road and which should be presented to him in such a way that his concentration does not suffer. For example, the driver images are shown as a sequence of still images, while they can be presented to the passenger as a movie.

In all of the above examples, according to the present invention, the operation of shifting display content by a gesture which is a gesture is initiated by detecting the gesture as a control command and correspondingly translating it into the operation of shifting.

In accordance with a further embodiment of the method according to the invention, the user is notified if an object suitable for carrying out the gesture, such as a user's hand or finger, is in a defined environment of the at least one first display unit, in which case the executed gesture is the control command can be detected and recorded. Usually, the display content is displayed changed when an object for realizing the gesture is disposed in the vicinity of a gesture detecting detection module. A system state which describes that an object, for example a hand or a finger, is within the range of the detection module can be illustrated by a change in the representation of the display content. This means that the user is informed, for example, by a color signal from the at least one first display unit, that gestures executed in this area are recognized and recorded as control commands or operator actions, so that an operation by taking a gesture is possible , If the user was not aware that the object executing a gesture, such as his finger or his hand, was in the defined environment of the at least one first display unit, he now has the option of using his or her hand retract to prevent unwanted operator action. On the other hand, if he intentionally wants to perform an operator action, he is now informed that he is now to perform the

Make a gesture so that an operator action can be carried out effectively. A gesture executed by an object, such as a hand or a finger, may be configured in various ways. For example, it is conceivable that, in order to start the movement on the display content displayed in the first display area and to complete the movement to that in the second display area in which the display content is to be displayed, to shift the display content accordingly.

In a further embodiment of the method according to the invention, it is also conceivable that, for example, a user with an object executing a corresponding gesture points to the at least one first display unit and moves the object downwards or upwards to that in the first display area display content to be exchanged with the display content displayed in the second display area. In this case, according to the invention, the display of the at least one first display unit, the movement of the display content up or down, and the completion of the intention to operate are recognized as operating intentions.

In a further embodiment of the method according to the invention, the user points to the at least one first display unit, which functions as the output display unit, and moves the gesture-executing object, for example the hand or the finger, to another second display unit, which functions as a target display unit Display content, displayed on the first display unit to transfer to the second display unit. In this case, according to the present invention, as an operation intention, the pointing to a display unit (output display unit) whose contents are to be synchronized is detected, shifting the display content to a second one from the first independent display unit (target display unit) and completing the operation intention.

The system state, which describes that the detection module has detected operating intentions and thus gestures, can also be clarified by a change in the representation of the display content.

The gesture associated with the movement, which is performed, for example, with a finger of the user's hand, can be detected optically and / or sensory. The gesture is recorded spatially resolved. In the case of two independent display units, each of the two independent display units in a limited area within the motor vehicle, for example. A center console or a windscreen, be arranged.

At least one display unit used can be realized as a transparent pane of the motor vehicle, usually for providing a head-up display, and / or as a monitor, which is usually arranged in a dashboard of the motor vehicle.

A representation of the display content to be moved may be changed after the start of the movement in the first display area to indicate that a shift of the display content is initiated. Here, the display content to be moved, for example, be reduced.

Further, the change in the form of a shift of the display content to be shifted may be expressed upward or downward when it is detected that the display content in the first display area is to be exchanged with a display content of a second display area.

Further, the change in the form of shifting the display content of the first display unit functioning as the output display unit toward a second display unit serving as the target display unit may be expressed when it is detected that the user wants to match the display contents of the output display unit to the target display unit.

By means of the method according to the invention, the first display area on the first display unit and the second display area on the second display unit can be matched and / or synchronized with one another so that the display content in both the first display area on the first display unit and in the second display area on the second Display unit is displayed. The display contents are displayed on both display units after completion of the movement. In this case, the display contents when moving from the first to the second Display unit copied. In this case, the display content displayed on both display units can be displayed differently after completion of the movement.

This means, for example, that when shifting the at least one displayed on a first display unit in a motor vehicle display content of a first display area to a second display area, the display content in the second display area, taking into account a position and / or a viewing angle of the user in the motor vehicle for this user is shown specifically. It can be provided that infotainment display contents, which include, for example, moving images, are merely displayed, for example, to a passenger as a user. On the other hand, such display contents including moving pictures are not displayed to a driver as a user.

According to a further embodiment of the method according to the invention, as already described above, the display content is processed according to specific specifications for individual display units, which are assigned to different users, for example, when display contents of different display units are adjusted. For example, original contents with moving pictures are transferred into contents with still pictures when the display contents are transmitted from a display unit not assigned to the driver to a display unit associated with the driver. This is to ensure that the driver is not distracted by the display content of its actual function as a driver of the motor vehicle and possibly placed in danger. The same applies to a conversion of display content to a central display unit, such as, for example, a provided on a center console of a motor vehicle display unit, which is visible to the driver and other passengers of the motor vehicle. Again, display contents that have moving images for the driver visibly replaced while driving through still images or a permanent black colored screen.

The method provided according to the invention makes it possible for a driver of the motor vehicle, while driving with the least possible deflection, to carry out an operator action in the sense of shifting display contents.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a system for shifting at least one shown on at least a first display unit in a motor vehicle Display content from a first display area to a second display area. The system according to the invention has at least one detection module and at least one control module. The at least one detection module is configured to spatially detect a gesture associated with a movement by a user as a control command, wherein a start of the movement is assigned to the first display area and an end of the movement is assigned to a second display area, and these two display areas are independent of one another are. The control module is configured to display the display content after completing the movement on the second display area.

The at least one detection module can be designed as a camera or as a capacitive sensor. The camera can be a 3D space-sensing camera via correlation transit time method, pulse transit time method and / or pulse grid projection.

The at least one detection module is further configured to provide signals to the at least one control module when the movement is detected. The at least one control module is configured to process the signals provided and, based on the processed signals, to control the at least one display unit such that the display content is transmitted from the first display area to the second display area and displayed there.

The invention opens up the following briefly summarized possibilities.

With the method and the system is a shift of operating and display contents to different display locations, i. H. to different display areas that are displayed on a display unit or on multiple display units, in the interior of a motor vehicle possible.

With the invention, inter alia, a synchronization of display contents of various display units can be simplified by detecting gestures. The same applies to a deliberate exchange of display contents of different display areas on a display unit. In this case, it is possible to use the system arranged in the motor vehicle. to know that a user is pointing to a first display area with the display content to be synchronized with the hand or at least one finger of the hand as an object used to operate the gesture, and thus indicates and then the hand and / or or the at least one finger moves to another, second display area to be synchronized with the first display unit. To support the operation, it can also be displayed on the first display area that it is activated for synchronization as soon as, for example, the finger or the hand in a defined environment of the display unit, in particular in a defined vicinity, becomes a detection module that recognizes a gesture is. Furthermore, it can be illustrated by a graphical support that the display content of the first display area is to be synchronized with that of the second display area.

In this case, the display content to be synchronized can be reduced or superimposed with a graphic effect, for example a luminous effect. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the display content to be synchronized or generally shifted is first slightly shifted, which should indicate the operator action to be undertaken. The display of a recognized operating intention by shifting the display content can be carried out within the first display unit serving as the output display unit in the direction of the second display unit serving as a target display unit. On the other hand, it is also conceivable that the display of a recognized operating intention by shifting the display content also within the target display unit from the direction of the output display unit is clarified. An indication of an operating intent initiated by the user by a gesture and recognized by the system can also be identified by an accelerated shifting of the display content on the first display unit. In addition, it is possible for the display content to be displaced to be supplemented with additional geometric elements, such as, for example, a frame. If, as mentioned above, the display content is reduced in size, for example to make the operating intent clearer, or optically pushed backwards, this opens up the advantage that additional space remains for a representation of an environment in the form of menus or other action symbols. These measures make it very transparent and easy for the user to synchronize or match two independent display areas. The system according to the invention, which may be camera-based or sensor-based and accordingly has a sensor and / or a camera as at least one detection module for detecting gestures, is designed to detect a spatial arrangement, usually positioning and / or movement, of objects system-side into the context of the environment and to transfer movements of the objects into operation intentions.

Furthermore, the system is aware of the display content currently displayed on the display areas, and the system can change the display contents of the display areas. In addition, the system can adversely affect and / or change graphic properties of the display areas.

According to one embodiment of the method according to the invention, it is provided that when shifting a display content to another display location, i. H. from the first to the second display area, at least one of the two display areas changes to another mode, wherein the displayed display content changes. In this case, the two display areas can be assigned to one or two display units. A display unit may be formed, for example, as a disc of the motor vehicle or as a monitor in a valve of the motor vehicle. If a display unit designed as a disk has at least two display areas, then these are arranged independently of one another at different positions of the display unit. It is possible that a display area on the same display unit user-specific, d. H. depending on a position and a viewing angle or field of view of the user, d. H. the driver or a passenger can be viewed, wherein the driver may display other display contents than other passengers.

When a displayed display content is selected by a gesture that usually signals a move, at least one display area involved and / or affected by the move receives a visual feedback or a visual display. ready for reporting a system state, according to which the displayed display content is operable, usually displaceable. In this case, it is possible for the size of the now displaceable display content to be changed on the at least one display area, usually the first display area, thereby providing the visual feedback. For this purpose, the display content can be reduced and / or visually pushed backwards when a gesture is displayed on the display content displayed in the display area. By reducing a selected display content, there is more room for displaying the environment of the selected display content in the form of menus or other action icons displayed in the display area.

At least one display area can be provided as a display unit via a transparent OLED (organic light emitting diode) on a pane, for example the windscreen of the motor vehicle. In this case, the display unit can not be realized by projection. Typically, an OLED coated disc as a display unit can provide multiple independent display areas located on different sectors of the disc. It is also possible to visualize at least one display area via a monitor.

In an embodiment, alternatively or additionally, at least one display area can be accessed via a so-called head-up display (HUD or display field in the viewing direction) by means of a pane in the viewing direction for at least one user, i. H. be projected for the driver and / or a passenger. In this case, the display area with which, for example, an image is to be displayed is reflected or mirrored over the pane. This means that the pane is used as a transparent mirror, the display content being displayed virtually in the space behind it. The display contents that can usually be displayed for the driver include contents for navigation, traffic signs, instructions and / or information, for example on operating parameters such as the speed of the motor vehicle.

At least one driver area, which is assigned to the driver, is usually shown on the driver's side of the windshield. At least one display area assigned to the passenger as a user can be located on the passenger side of the passenger car Windshield be presented. Display contents for the passenger include, for example, entertainment media players, an internet browser, and / or a display of information.

By recognizing gestures as control commands, display contents useful to the two users, i. H. are individually assigned to the driver and the passenger, are moved from user-defined display areas to a common display area which is visible to both users and, for example, in the center of the windshield, for joint viewing, wherein at least one of the display areas is operated by gestures.

In the context of the invention, display contents between display areas of at least one display unit, ie. H. within a slice, between a slice and a monitor, or vice versa, between monitors and / or within a monitor. In this case, for example, a display content may be transferred with a gesture from a display area with low resolution and / or little information into a display area with high resolution and / or information.

Further advantages and embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the description and the accompanying drawings.

It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the respectively specified combination but also in other combinations or alone, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

The invention is illustrated schematically with reference to an embodiment in the drawing and will be described schematically and in detail with reference to the drawing.

Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of a system according to the invention. The motor vehicle-mounted embodiment of the system 10 for displaying and operating vehicle, environment and infotainment contents as possible display contents comprises at least a first display unit 20 and a second display unit 30 independent of the first display unit. The first display unit 20 comprises a first display area. in which a display content 21 is shown. The second display unit 30 includes a second display area in which a display content 31 is shown. Furthermore, the system 10 comprises at least one detection module 41 for detecting and at least one control module 40 for evaluating operator actions to be performed with at least one gesture 50. About a gesture 50 can now in carrying out an embodiment of the invention

For example, the display content 21 may be shifted from the first display area of the first display unit 20 functioning as the output display unit to another second display area on the second display unit 30 functioning as a target display unit, and thus transferred. Likewise, the display content 31 can also be transmitted from the second display unit 30, which now functions as the output display unit, to the first display unit 20, which now functions as the destination display unit. In this case, it is possible for the display contents 21 and 31 to be exchanged for one another or for the display content 21 to be displayed on the first display unit 20 as well as on the second display unit 30 after detection of the corresponding gesture 50. The same applies, if necessary, when a corresponding gesture is carried out for the display content 31, which can also be displayed after performing a corresponding gesture 50 both on the display unit 30 and on the display unit 20, if a corresponding gesture for transmitting the display contents has been made. In the case, one speaks of a kind of copy and paste method, wherein the respective display content is merely copied and transmitted to the destination display unit without being deleted in the standby display unit.

As a rule, different display contents 21 or 31 such as motor vehicle, environment and infotainment contents are displayed together on a respective display unit 20 or 30. For this purpose, the display contents 21 and 31 are divided over an operating system with respect to their functional affiliation respectively into several functional groups and called according to an operating action by gestures 50 separately and / or exchanged and thus processed. Thus, with the illustrated embodiment of the system 10 according to the invention, it is possible for a display content 21 or at least a part of a display content 21, which is displayed on a display unit 20 embodied, for example, as a passenger display, also to be displayed on a display unit 30 visible to the driver becomes.

At this time, adjustment of the display contents 21 and 31 between the display unit 20 formed as a passenger display and the display unit 30 in the form of a driver's display is performed. For exchanging and / or adjusting the display contents, a manually executed gesture 50 is detected by the at least one detection module 41 and recognized by the at least one control module 40 as intended operator action. In this case, the gesture 50 is detected in a spatially resolved manner, which is possible, for example, with the aid of a 3D-space-capturing camera or by means of one or more capacitive sensors.

So that the manually executed gesture 50 can be detected by the at least one detection module 41 and recognized by the control module 40 as intended operator action, the gesture must be executed in a defined environment of the display units to be synchronized, in particular in a defined proximity to the acquisition module 41 so that the system 10 is activated at all to receive gestures as intended operator actions. If, for example, the driver or the passenger or another passenger has accidentally brought his hand or merely a finger of the hand as a gesture-executable object into the defined environment, ie in particular in the vicinity of the detection module 41, then the driver or passenger still has the ability to remove his hand or finger from this environment so as not to inadvertently initiate an unintended operation. However, if the hand or the finger remains in the defined environment, ie in particular in the vicinity of the detection module 41, since the driver or passenger intentionally wants to carry out an operator action, then this is indicated to the user, in particular the driver or front passenger, for example. by a colored deposit of the respective display areas whose display content is potentially to be postponed, or by a light display on one of the display units whose display content is to be shifted if necessary. Now, the system 10 is ready to be performed by a user Detect gesture 50 and implement as control action by the control module 40 accordingly.

In one possible embodiment of the invention, for example, a user points and / or indicates with the hand or with at least one finger the hand on a display area of a display unit 20 and moves the hand and thus the at least one finger in a desired direction, eg. vertically down or up and / or horizontally to the left or right to move the displayed display content 21 from the first display area to another display area. In this case, the display content 21 depending on the executed gesture 50 can be exchanged within the display unit 20 for another display content or else transferred to another, here, for example, the second display unit 30, copied as a rule. The various gestures that define or signal a respective operator action are stored in the system 10, each with a corresponding assignment gesture <-> operator action, and are retrievable by the control module 40. In this case, the system 10 displays on the output display area representing the display content 21 to be shifted, moving the hand, and pointing and / or interpreting the display area formed as a target display area to complete movement of the display content 21 as an operation intention gesture 50. known.

For example, the system 10 displaying the first display area displayed on the first display unit 20 whose display content 21 is to be synchronized, moving the hand from the first to the second display area on the second display unit 30, and pointing and / or referring to the second display area of the second display unit 30 for completing a movement of the display content 21 as an operation intention gesture 50, after which the display content 21 is transferred to the second display area of the second display unit 30. Similarly, the display content 31 of the second display unit 30 can be handled.

Furthermore, with an altered graphical representation of the display content 21 or 31, the user's intention to operate recognized by the system 10 can be made visible during the operator action. For example, if the user is aware of the display content 21, a change in the presentation of the display content 21 may be made, thereby indicating to the user that the system 10 has recognized the intention to operate. This change can be represented, for example, in the form of a reduction of the display content 21. In addition, the change in the form of a shift of the display content 21 in the horizontal or vertical direction can be displayed when it is detected by the system 10 by detecting a gesture 50 that the user wants to move the display content 21.

It is also possible to express the change to be made in the form of a movement of the display content 21 from the output display area toward the target display area when it is detected that the user wants to match the display content 21 of the output display area to the target display area.

If it is provided to transfer a display content 21 when shifting, so that the display content 21 is displayed on the display area as the output display area before shifting only, and the display content 21 after moving only on the display area used as the target display area is no longer on the display area This display option is shown with an additional gesture 50 for transferring the display content 21. If, with the shifting, copying of the display content 21 is to be achieved so that the display content 21 after being moved is displayed on both display units 20 and 30, this is signaled with another additional gesture 50 for copying. For error-free recognition of an intention to operate with a gesture 50, it is provided that the system 10, usually the at least one detection module 41 and the at least one control module 40 only evaluate certain temporal phases of the operator control when recognizing the intention to operate. In order to make it clear to the user that the system 10 temporarily only permits a part of the operator actions, but does not evaluate other operator actions, the displayed display content 21 and

31 are supplemented by an additional displayable element, which is visible in a phase of detection and in the phase in which the detection is not active, is not visible. In order to realize a Gestikbedienung, an operating intention is recognized. The operating intent is detected by means of an operator action. The operator action contains components that describe the intention to operate and components that do not describe the intended operation. For example, the user manually performs a movement from A to B to express an operation intention. Furthermore, the user immediately moves the hand back to the starting position A, without thereby expressing a further intention to operate.

With the invention are thus the following, controlled by gestures 50 measures to move, d. H. for transferring or copying, a display content 21 or 31 can be implemented:

matching a display content 21 of a display area provided as an output display area with a display content 31 of a display area independent of the output display area and provided as a target display area,

an exchange of display contents 21 or 31 within a display unit 20 or 30,

an indication of a user intention initiated by a gesture 50 and recognized by the system 10 by changing or supplementing the display content 21 or 31, for example by reducing the displayed display content 21 or 31 and / or display content 21 displayed by superimposing it; 31 with a graphic effect, for example a luminaire,

displaying an operating intent initiated by the user by a gesture 50 and recognized by the system 10 by moving the displayed display content 21 or 31 on and / or within a display area,

- Displaying a recognized control intention by moving the displayed display content 21 or 31 from the output display area toward the target display area and

- Displaying an initiated by the user by a gesture 50 and recognized by the system 10 operating intent by accelerated moving the displayed display content 21 or 31 on the display unit 20 or 30th

Furthermore, with the invention, an exchange and / or adjustment of display contents 21 and 31 on display areas of display units 20 and 30, such as. Displays, projection screens and / or head-up displays are implemented.
