Description

DESCRIPTION

vehicle panel

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a vehicle or dashboard panel that offers improvements in terms of legibility and ease of reading for people with vision or reading comprehension problems, for example dyslexia.

STATE OF THE ART

Vehicle panels where vehicle information is displayed (speed, fuel in the tank...) or its accessories (radio, hands-free telephone) usually display the information in a single font, which is frequently similar between manufacturers.

However, not all fonts have the same legibility for all users, for example for dyslexic users. Thus, the reviled "Comic Sans" is considerably more readable than other fonts for dyslexics. Other people can read better in small caps.

It must be considered that the information on the panel is not only relevant for the driver, since the co-pilot may want to use or configure the radio, the hands-free, the GPS... This co-pilot may have any vision problem, which prevents him from drive or not, but that should not prevent you from operating the panel without having to ask the driver to read or confirm the information.

Some examples of accessories are radio, hands-free phone, GPS map, bluetooth connection to a music player, alarms, remote controls for garages or gates. This list is not exhaustive, but a series of examples.

The applicant is not aware of any panel that allows these problems to be solved in a similar way to this invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a vehicle panel according to the first claim and whose variants solve the problems of the state of the art.

The invention is a panel for a vehicle, of the type comprising a screen and one or more peripherals for command or data input. In a new way, the screen is configurable in terms of typography or font: bold, small caps, typography (arial, comic sans, times new roman...) and not only in terms of font size.

Preferably, the screen is also configurable in font size and/or contrast.

Other variants are seen in the rest of the report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figure is included.

Figure 1: View of an example of a panel with different fonts (A), (B), (C).

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Next, an embodiment of the invention is briefly described, as an illustrative and non-limiting example of the latter.

Figure 1 shows an example of an embodiment formed by a panel that corresponds to a screen (1) connected to one or more peripherals (2) for command or data input, such as a touch surface, buttons, a ru age according to the accessories connected to the vehicle control unit and whose information is displayed by the panel.

The screen (1) is configurable through the peripherals (2) to modify the font size, contrast... but especially to change the typography or font type: arial, comic sans, verdana... small caps, lowercase, bold. .. so that the user can select the font that is most easily readable.

This ensures that the driver captures all the information quickly and without errors, thus reducing the time spent consulting the panel and increasing the view of the road and the driver's concentration. In addition, it can be ensured that the co-pilot does not require assistance from the driver to read the information on the panel when he has vision or reading comprehension problems.
