背景技术Background technique
随着生活水准与科技提升,All-In-One概念在3C领域及汽车业已渐受重视与应用,而多功能整合控制接口更是这个概念的具体实现,它能够使得车用系统输出入操作接口得到整合而不致太过繁杂。请同时参照图1A及图1B,其分别为现有车用系统控制接口一实施例及其辅助操作接口的外观示意图。如图所示,现有的车用系统控制接口12是通过设置在车辆前座座椅10的中央扶手11上方或侧面(此实施例于上方)的大型控制旋钮13以及车辆仪表板14上所显示的相关辅助操作接口15来达成车用系统整合控制。其中,整合了通讯、导航、娱乐、空调、车辆设定、操作环境设定、操作说明和顾客服务等功能的选单项目全部通过上述旋钮13来控制,并且现有车用系统控制接口12还可设置各种按键16以选择其它功能,但是这种车用系统利用有方向性的旋钮13来操作多样化的功能选单或做系统光标移动,操作上有点复杂与不方便,而且因为包含旋钮13设置在扶手11,车辆驾驶人使用时必须将右手离开方向盘,造成开车时使用上的不方便与安全度降低。With the improvement of living standards and technology, the concept of All-In-One has gradually been valued and applied in the 3C field and the automotive industry, and the multi-functional integrated control interface is the concrete realization of this concept, which can make the input and output operation interface of the vehicle system Get integrated without being too complicated. Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B at the same time, which are schematic diagrams of an embodiment of an existing vehicle system control interface and its auxiliary operation interface, respectively. As shown in the figure, the existing vehicle
另一方面,除了上述以机械式旋钮来达成输入与控制目的的该项现有技术之外,目前也有通过一遥控器的方向键或数字键以操控车用系统的作法,并且也可搭配仪表板或液晶屏幕来显示进阶功能选单。请参阅图2,其现有车用系统控制接口另一实施例的外观示意图。如图所示,此实施例的车用系统控制接口20为一遥控器,并且设置有多个第一按键21(例如方向键)、多个第二按键22(例如数字键)、一液晶屏幕23与一轨迹点指向元件(PointingStick;PST)24。其中,液晶屏幕23可以仅是显示装置,也可以是触控式输出入元件,而车辆驾驶者或乘客可以使用此车用系统控制接口20各项元件以操控车用系统。On the other hand, in addition to the prior art of using mechanical knobs to achieve input and control purposes, there is also a method of controlling the vehicle system through the direction keys or number keys of a remote controller, and it can also be used with instruments. panel or LCD screen to display the advanced function menu. Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic diagram showing the appearance of another embodiment of the conventional vehicle system control interface. As shown in the figure, the vehicle
然而,目前各式车用系统控制接口大多通过一遥控器的方向键、指向元件或是独立的机械式旋钮来达成输入与车用系统控制目的,而上述方向键一般都是五向键或九向键,具有机械式元件耐用度以及可移动方向性受限制的潜在缺点,并且只能做单纯的选单移动,面对现行与日俱增的多媒体应用,尤其是定位及指针移动,往往让操作者感到相当地不方便与不敷需求,并且相对地较为费力与容易疲劳。此外,有些车用整合式遥控器会加上触控板来仿真鼠标的指向功能,驾驶人在车辆行进中必须将手、视线与注意力大幅度移开方向盘,转而集中在座椅扶手或仪表板上,不仅违背人体工程学与忽视人们的直观操作需求,更具有潜在的驾驶危险性。再者,有些车辆的小型液晶屏幕仅用作播放DVD与收看数字电视节目的输出装置,并没有被充分利用与整合,显得不符经济效益,若可兼用以作为功能选单显示之用,或者通过一兼具显示功能的触控式输出入元件(例如触控板)以取代之,相信更能减省各项成本与车内装置占用空间。However, at present, most of the control interfaces of various vehicle systems use direction keys, pointing elements or independent mechanical knobs of a remote control to achieve input and vehicle system control purposes, and the direction keys are generally five-way keys or nine-way keys. Arrow keys have the potential disadvantages of limited mechanical component durability and movable direction, and can only do simple menu movement. Facing the current increasing multimedia applications, especially positioning and pointer movement, operators often feel quite The location is inconvenient and insufficient, and it is relatively laborious and prone to fatigue. In addition, some integrated remote controllers for cars will add a touchpad to simulate the pointing function of a mouse. The driver must move his hands, sight and attention away from the steering wheel and focus on the armrest or The instrument panel not only violates ergonomics and ignores people's intuitive operation needs, but also has potential driving dangers. Furthermore, the small LCD screens of some vehicles are only used as output devices for playing DVDs and watching digital TV programs, and have not been fully utilized and integrated, which does not meet economic benefits. If they can be used as a function menu display, or through a Replacing it with a touch-sensitive I/O device (such as a touch panel) that also has a display function, it is believed that various costs and the space occupied by in-vehicle devices can be reduced.
