Beschreibungdescription

Navigationsgeräte dienen der Berechnung einer Route zu einem eingegebenen Ziel. Ein Fahrer wählt dann, falls mehrere Routen ausgegeben sind, eine Route aus, für die im Verlauf der Fahrt Richtungsinformationen zu dem Ziel hin ausgegeben werden. Diese Richtungsinformationen müssen möglichst sicher und zweifelsfrei an den Fahrer übertragen werden, ohne dass der Fahrer selbst gedanklich tätig werden muss.Navigation devices are used to calculate a route to one entered destination. A driver then chooses if several Routes are issued, a route for which in the course output direction information to the destination during the journey become. This directional information must be as secure as possible and transmitted to the driver without a doubt, without the driver himself has to take action.

Erfindungsgemäß werden daher die Richtungsinformationen mittels taktiler Elemente an den Fahrer übertragen. Die taktilen Elemente können in einer Weiterbildung in Kombination mit Mitteln zur akustischen und/oder optischen Wiedergabe verwendet werden, um damit eine redundante und damit sehr sichere Übertragung der Richtungsinformationen zu erreichen.According to the invention, the direction information is therefore transmitted to the driver using tactile elements. The tactile elements can be used in a training course Combination with means for acoustic and / or optical Used to make a redundant and playback thus very secure transmission of the directional information to reach.

Taktile Elemente bezeichnen hier eine Vorrichtung, die durch Reizung der Haut Informationen einem Fahrer übermitteln. Diese Reizung der Haut kann entweder durch Rütteln oder durch Stifte ausgeübt werden.Tactile elements here refer to a device that is made by Provide skin irritation information to a driver. This skin irritation can be caused either by shaking or can be exercised by pens.

In Fig. 1 ist als Blockschaltbild die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung dargestellt. Ein Navigationsgerät 1 ist über einen Datenausgang an einen ersten Dateneingang eines Prozessors 2 angeschlossen. An einen zweiten Dateneingang des Prozessors 2 ist ein Spurwechselassistent 3 angeschlossen. Der Spurwechselassistent 3 weist jeweils einen Videosensor an den Fahrzeugseiten auf, die Informationen darüber liefern, ob ein Wechseln der Fahrspur zulässig ist. Insbesondere wird dabei überprüft, ob sich auf der anderen Fahrbahn ein Fahrzeug oder sonstiges Hindernis befindet oder ob eine durchgezogene Linie auf der Strasse aufgebracht ist, die das Wechseln der Fahrspur verbietet. Weiterhin ist es möglich, dass der Spurwechselassistent 3 einen Radarsensor aufweist, der entweder zusätzlich oder alternativ zum Videosensor eingesetzt wird. Wird der Radarsensor alternativ eingesetzt, dann wird er für eine Hindernisdetektion eingesetzt. Dies ist insbesondere zur Absicherung des toten Winkels für einen Fahrer von Vorteil. Weiterhin kann es von Vorteil sein, mehrere Videosensoren und/oder Radarsensoren jeweils an den Fahrzeugseiten einsetzen, um einen größeren Bereich auf der benachbarten Fahrspur zu erfassen. Der Fahrer wird dann vor dem Spurwechselassistenten 3 bei einem Versuch des Spurwechsels gewarnt, sofern dies verboten oder gefährlich ist. Dazu werden akustische oder optische und hier insbesondere taktile Warnungen an den Fahrer abgegeben.In Fig. 1, the device according to the invention is shown as a block diagram. A navigation device 1 is connected to a first data input of a processor 2 via a data output. A lane change assistant 3 is connected to a second data input of the processor 2 . The lane change assistant 3 each has a video sensor on the sides of the vehicle which provides information as to whether a change of lane is permitted. In particular, it is checked whether there is a vehicle or other obstacle on the other lane or whether there is a solid line on the road that prohibits changing the lane. It is also possible that the lane change assistant 3 has a radar sensor that is used either in addition or as an alternative to the video sensor. If the radar sensor is used alternatively, then it is used for obstacle detection. This is particularly advantageous for a driver to secure the blind spot. Furthermore, it can be advantageous to use a plurality of video sensors and / or radar sensors on the vehicle sides in order to detect a larger area in the adjacent lane. The driver is then warned of the lane change assistant 3 when attempting to change lanes, if this is prohibited or dangerous. For this purpose, acoustic or visual and in particular tactile warnings are given to the driver.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist es hier möglich, dass ein Spurverlassenswarner verwendet wird, der insbesondere einen Fahrer vor dem Einschlafen warnen soll. Hierbei wird eine Videosensorik verwendet, die sich auf eine Fahrspurmarkierung einstellt und so den Fahrer vor einem Verlassen der Fahrspur warnt. Alternatively or additionally, it is possible that a Lane departure warning is used, in particular one To warn drivers before falling asleep. Here is a Video sensors used, which refer to a Sets lane marking and so the driver in front of you Leaving the lane warns.  

Ein erster Datenausgang des Prozessors 2 führt zu einer Signalverarbeitung 4, die Signale für eine Anzeige 5, die an einen Datenausgang der Signalverarbeitung 4 angeschlossen ist, aufbereitet. Ein zweiter Datenausgang des Prozessors 2 führt zu einer Signalverarbeitung 6, die Signale zur akustischen Wiedergabe mittels des Lautsprechers 7 vorbereitet. Der Lautsprecher 7 ist an einen Ausgang der Signalverarbeitung 6 angeschlossen. An einen dritten Datenausgang des Prozessors 2 ist eine Ansteuerung 8 angeschlossen.A first data output of the processor 2 leads to a signal processing 4 , which processes signals for a display 5 , which is connected to a data output of the signal processing 4 . A second data output of the processor 2 leads to a signal processing 6 , which prepares signals for acoustic reproduction by means of the loudspeaker 7 . The loudspeaker 7 is connected to an output of the signal processing 6 . A control 8 is connected to a third data output of the processor 2 .

Die Ansteuerung 8 steuert taktile Elemente 9 an, wobei die taktilen Elemente 9 in dem Kraftfahrzeug verteilt sein können. Die taktilen Elemente 9 können am Lenkrad, an einem Joystick und/oder insbesondere im Fahrersitz angebracht sein. Sind die taktilen Elemente, die als Stifte oder Rüttler ausgebildet sind, in dem Fahrzeugsitz angebracht, dann werden die taktilen Elemente vorzugsweise im rechten oder linken Bereich des Rückens angeordnet, um dort eine Vibration zu erzeugen.The control 8 controls tactile elements 9 , wherein the tactile elements 9 can be distributed in the motor vehicle. The tactile elements 9 can be attached to the steering wheel, a joystick and / or in particular in the driver's seat. If the tactile elements, which are designed as pins or vibrators, are fitted in the vehicle seat, then the tactile elements are preferably arranged in the right or left region of the back in order to generate a vibration there.

Der Prozessor 2 erhält vom Navigationsgerät 1 Richtungsinformationen, die mittels der taktilen Elemente 9 dem Fahrer übermittelt werden sollen. Gegebenenfalls kann der Prozessor 2 den Lautsprecher 7 und die Anzeige 5 zusätzlich zur Ausgabe der Richtungsinformationen verwenden. Von dem Fahrspurwechselassistenten 3 erhält der Prozessor 2 Signale, dass die Fahrspur nicht gewechselt werden darf. Gegebenenfalls entscheidet der Fahrer, dass neben den taktilen Elementen zusätzlich die Mittel zur akustischen und/oder optischen Ausgabe verwendet werden. Diese multimediale Ausgabe der Richtungsinformationen kann auch standardmäßig eingestellt sein, um eine sichere Übertragung der Richtungsinformation an den Fahrer zu gewährleisten. The processor 2 receives directional information from the navigation device 1 which is to be transmitted to the driver by means of the tactile elements 9 . If necessary, the processor 2 can additionally use the loudspeaker 7 and the display 5 to output the direction information. The processor 2 receives signals from the lane change assistant 3 that the lane may not be changed. If necessary, the driver decides that in addition to the tactile elements, the means for acoustic and / or optical output are also used. This multimedia output of the directional information can also be set as standard in order to ensure reliable transmission of the directional information to the driver.

In Fig. 2 ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren als Flussdiagramm dargestellt. In Verfahrensschritt 10 werden die Richtungsinformationen vom Navigationsgerät 1 ermittelt, indem für die vom Fahrer gewählte Route in Abhängigkeit vom aktuellen Standort des Kraftfahrzeugs der mittels eines GPS (Global Positioning System)-Empfängers und eines Drehratensensors des Navigationsgeräts 1 ermittelt wird, die aktuell zu wählende Richtung bestimmt wird und dies in eine Richtungsinformation übersetzt wird, die vom Navigationsgerät 1 an den Prozessor 2 übertragen wird. In Verfahrensschritt 11 überprüft der Prozessor 2, ob neben der Übertragung der Richtungsinformation mittels der taktilen Elemente 9 auch eine optische und/oder akustische Wiedergabe vorgenommen werden soll. Ist das der Fall, dann wird in Verfahrensschritt 12 die Richtungsinformation mittels dieser taktilen Elemente 9 des Lautsprechers 7 und der Anzeige 5 wiedergegeben. Ist das nicht der Fall, dann wird in . Verfahrensschritt 13 die Richtungsinformation allein mittels der taktilen Elemente 9 wiedergegeben.In FIG. 2, the inventive method is illustrated as a flow chart. In method step 10 , the direction information is determined by the navigation device 1 by determining the currently selected direction for the route selected by the driver, depending on the current location of the motor vehicle, by means of a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver and a rotation rate sensor of the navigation device 1 is determined and this is translated into direction information that is transmitted from the navigation device 1 to the processor 2 . In method step 11 , the processor 2 checks whether, in addition to the transmission of the direction information by means of the tactile elements 9 , an optical and / or acoustic reproduction should also be carried out. If this is the case, then in step 12 the directional information is reproduced by means of these tactile elements 9 of the loudspeaker 7 and the display 5 . If this is not the case, then in. Method step 13 reproduces the direction information using only the tactile elements 9 .

Die taktilen Elemente 9 werden vor allem bei einer Abzweigung oder einer der Route widersprechenden Abzweigung verwendet. Ist nur geradeaus zu fahren, geben die taktilen Elemente kein Signal an den Fahrer ab.The tactile elements 9 are used above all in the case of a branch or a branch which contradicts the route. If you only have to drive straight ahead, the tactile elements do not give any signal to the driver.
