Description

Nachrüstbares Fahrerassistenzsystem Retrofittable driver assistance system

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Realisierung mindestens einer erweiterten Fahrerassistenzfunktion zum nachträglichen Einbau in ein Fahrzeug.The invention relates to a device and a method for implementing at least one extended driver assistance function for subsequent installation in a vehicle.

Zunehmend kommen mobile Geräte mit Fahrerassistenzfunktionen in Kraftfahrzeugen zum Einsatz.Increasingly, mobile devices with driver assistance functions are used in motor vehicles.

Ein beispielhaftes System von der Firma Mobileye umfasst eine mobile Kamera und ein Display und informiert bzw. alarmiert den Fahrer, wenn er seine Fahrspur verlässt oder zu dicht auffährt.An exemplary system from the company Mobileye includes a mobile camera and a display and alerts or alerts the driver when he leaves his lane or runs too close.

Ein weiteres Beispiel ist ein mobiles Navigationsgerät von der Firma Blaupunkt mit einer integrierten Kamera, das Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen in Form von Verkehrsschildern erkennt und dem Fahrer auf dem Display anzeigt.Another example is a mobile navigation device from the company Blaupunkt with an integrated camera, which recognizes speed limits in the form of traffic signs and shows the driver on the display.

Zur Kommunikation mit anderen mobilen Geräten, insbesondere Mobiltelefonen, zum Freisprechen oder Datenaustausch verfügt das Navigationsgerät über eine Buetoothschnittstelle zur drahtlosen Übertragung.For communication with other mobile devices, in particular mobile phones, for hands-free or data exchange, the navigation device has a Bluetooth interface for wireless transmission.

Die Ausgabefunktion der Fahrerassistenz-Aftermarketgeräte (Nachrüstgeräte) ist bisher auf optische und/oder akustische Warnung beschränkt.The output function of the driver assistance aftermarket devices (retrofit devices) has hitherto been limited to visual and / or audible warning.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, durch Einsatz von mobilen Geräten mit Fahrerassistenzfunktionen ein Fahrzeug kostengünstig mit erweiterten Fahrerassistenzfunktionen auszustatten. Unter erweiterten Fahrerassistenzfunktionen werden hier solche Funktionen verstanden, die direkt auf Fahrzeugfunktionen wie beispielsweise Lichtsteuerung oder Scheibenwischvorrichtung zugreifen können. Dies erfordert bisher eine drahtgebundene Anbindung des Fahrerassistenzgerätes an die Kommunikationsstruktur des Fahrzeugs (i.d.R. CAN), weshalb erweiterte Fahrerassistenzfunktionen nur für Onboard-Systeme realisiert sind.The object of the invention is to equip a vehicle cost-effectively with advanced driver assistance functions by using mobile devices with driver assistance functions. Under advanced driver assistance functions are here understood such functions that can directly access vehicle functions such as light control or windscreen wiper device. So far, this requires a wired connection of the driver assistance device to the Communication structure of the vehicle (usually CAN), which is why extended driver assistance functions are implemented only for onboard systems.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren gemäß den unabhängigen Patentansprüchen. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.This object is achieved by a device and a method according to the independent claims. Advantageous developments can be found in the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung sieht eine Vorrichtung zur Realisierung mindestens einer erweiterten Fahrerassistenzfunktion zum nachträglichen Einbau in ein Fahrzeug vor, die ein mobiles Gerät und ein Relais umfasst. Das mobile Gerät verfügt über mindestens eine Fahrerassistenzfunktionalität, beispielsweise zur automatischen Lichtsteuerung, umfasst mindestens einen Sensor, eine Sensordatenauswerteeinheit und eine Schnittstelle zur drahtlosen Übermittlung von Informationen, die von der Sensordatenauswerteeinheit ermittelt werden. Als Sensoren kommen insbesondere Sensorsysteme im sichtbaren und infraroten Wellenlängenbereich (z.B. Kamera- oder Lidarsysteme) sowie kapazitive Sensoren in Frage. Bei Kameras entspricht die Sensordatenauswerteeinheit beispielsweise der Bildverarbeitung und Objekterkennung. Die Informationen, die drahtlos übermittelt werden, umfassen insbesondere Steuersignale für das Relais.The invention provides a device for implementing at least one extended driver assistance function for subsequent installation in a vehicle, which comprises a mobile device and a relay. The mobile device has at least one driver assistance functionality, for example for automatic light control, comprises at least one sensor, a sensor data evaluation unit and an interface for the wireless transmission of information that is determined by the sensor data evaluation unit. In particular sensor systems in the visible and infrared wavelength range (for example camera or lidar systems) and capacitive sensors are suitable as sensors. In the case of cameras, the sensor data evaluation unit corresponds, for example, to image processing and object recognition. The information transmitted wirelessly includes, in particular, control signals for the relay.

Das Relais dient der Steuerung von mindestens einer Fahrzeugfunktion, die für die erweiterte Fahrerassistenzfunktion benötigt wird. Beispielsweise dient ein entsprechendes Lichtrelais der Steuerung von Fern- und Abblendlicht, was für eine automatische Lichtsteuerung benötigt wird. Das Relais umfasst eine Schnittstelle über die die von dem mobilen Gerät übermittelten Informationen bzw. Steuersignale drahtlos empfangen werden können.The relay is used to control at least one vehicle function needed for the advanced driver assistance function. For example, a corresponding light relay of the control of high and low beam, which is needed for automatic lighting control. The relay comprises an interface via which the information transmitted by the mobile device or control signals can be received wirelessly.

Somit kann das mobile Gerät Informationen bzw. Steuersignale, die zur Ausführung einer erweiterten Fahrerassistenzfunktion notwendig sind, drahtlos an das Relais im Fahrzeug übermitteln. Das Relais kann dann die betreffende Funktion im Fahrzeug steuern. Das Relais kann also drahtlos aktiviert und gesteuert werden von dem mobilen Gerät mit der Fahrerassistenzfunktionalität. Bevorzugt kann das Relais Statusmeldungen zu einer Fahrzeugfunktion an das mobile Gerät drahtlos zurücksenden.Thus, the mobile device can transmit information or control signals, which are necessary for the execution of an advanced driver assistance function, wirelessly to the relay in the vehicle. The relay can then control the relevant function in the vehicle. Thus, the relay can be wirelessly activated and controlled by the mobile device with driver assistance functionality. Preferably, the relay Send status messages about a vehicle function to the mobile device wirelessly.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umfasst das mobile Gerät eine automatische Lichtsteuerung als Fahrerassistenzfunktion. Als Sensor ist bevorzugt eine Kamera einzusetzen. Das Relais ist so ausgestaltet, dass es das im Fahrzeug vorhandene Lichtrelais ersetzt und dadurch das Fahrzeuglicht automatisch gesteuert werden kann. Das mobile Gerät alleine könnte ohne die drahtlose Verbindung zum Relais dem Fahrer nur Empfehlungen zum Auf- oder Abblenden geben, was die automatische Lichtsteuerung unmöglich macht.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the mobile device comprises an automatic light control as a driver assistance function. The preferred sensor is a camera. The relay is designed so that it replaces the existing in the vehicle light relay and thus the vehicle light can be controlled automatically. The mobile device alone, without the wireless connection to the relay, could give the driver only recommendations for fading up or fading, which makes automatic light control impossible.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst das mobile Gerät ein System zur Regenerkennung. Als Sensor kommen hierfür bevorzugt eine Kamera im sichtbaren oder infraroten Bereich oder ein kapazitiver Sensor in Frage. Das Relais ist so ausgestaltet, dass es das im Fahrzeug vorhandene Wischerrelais ersetzt und dadurch die Scheibenwischvorrichtung des Fahrzeugs automatisch angesteuert werden kann.According to a preferred embodiment, the mobile device comprises a rain detection system. The preferred sensor for this purpose is a camera in the visible or infrared range or a capacitive sensor. The relay is designed so that it replaces the existing wiper relay in the vehicle and thus the windshield wiper device of the vehicle can be controlled automatically.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird Bluetooth als Schnittstelle zur drahtlosen Übermittlung von Informationen zwischen mobilem Gerät und Relais eingesetzt.In a preferred embodiment, Bluetooth is used as an interface for the wireless transmission of information between the mobile device and the relay.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist zudem ein Verfahren zum Bereitstellen einer erweiterten Fahrerassistenzfunktion für ein Fahrzeug. Von einem mobilen Gerät für mindestens eine Fahrerassistenzfunktion mit mindestens einem Sensor und einer Sensordatenauswerteeinheit werden Informationen bzw. Steuersignale für die Fahrerassistenzfunktion ermittelt. Die ermittelten Informationen bezüglich der Steuerung mindestens einer Fahrzeugfunktion werden drahtlos von dem mobilen Gerät an ein Relais übermittelt. Das Relais steuert die Fahrzeugfunktion entsprechend den übermittelten Informationen bzw. Steuersignale.The invention also provides a method for providing an advanced driver assistance function for a vehicle. Information or control signals for the driver assistance function are determined by a mobile device for at least one driver assistance function with at least one sensor and a sensor data evaluation unit. The determined information regarding the control of at least one vehicle function is transmitted wirelessly from the mobile device to a relay. The relay controls the vehicle function according to the transmitted information or control signals.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, dass ein beliebiges Fahrzeug kostengünstig mit erweiterten Fahrerassistenzfunktionen ausgestattet werden kann. Das Nachrüsten mit einem entsprechenden mobilen Gerät und einen entsprechenden Relais ist problemlos durchführbar. Komfort- und sicherheitsrelevante erweiterte Fahrerassistenzsysteme werden so einem breiten Markt zugänglich. Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The advantage of the invention is that any vehicle can be inexpensively equipped with advanced driver assistance functions. Retrofitting with a suitable mobile device and a corresponding relay is easily feasible. Comfort and safety-related advanced driver assistance systems are thus made accessible to a broad market. In the following the invention will be explained in more detail by means of exemplary embodiments.

Automatische Lichtsteuerunq:Automatic light control:

Die Erfindung soll am Beispiel der Fahrerassistenzfunktion "High Beam Assist" (Fernlichtassistent) erläutert werden. Mit Hilfe einer Kamera werden bei Dunkelheit vorausfahrende und entgegenkommende Fahrzeuge erkannt, um das eigene Fernlicht bei Bedarf automatisch abzublenden bzw. wieder aufzublenden.The invention will be explained using the example of the driver assistance function "High Beam Assist" (high-beam assistant). With the help of a camera in the dark ahead and oncoming vehicles are detected to automatically dim the own high beam when needed or aufzublenden.

Diese Erkennung kann auch von einem Nachrüstgerät durchgeführt werden.This detection can also be carried out by a retrofit device.

Das Gerät kann ein Signal zur Steuerung des Fernlichtes generieren, dass per Bluetooth drahtlos an ein ebenfalls mit einer Bluetoothschnittstelle ausgestattetes Relais übertragen wird. Ein mit im Relais integrierter Controller übernimmt die Übersetzung des Signals und steuert das Relais in der gewünschten Weise an. Das Relais ist so gestaltet, dass es einfach gegen das vorhandene Lichtrelais ausgetauscht werden kann.The device can generate a signal for controlling the high beam, which is wirelessly transmitted via Bluetooth to a relay also equipped with a Bluetooth interface. A controller integrated in the relay takes over the translation of the signal and controls the relay in the desired manner. The relay is designed so that it can be easily replaced with the existing light relay.

Um mögliche Fehlerkennungen durch das Kamerasystem zu korrigieren, soll die Kontroll-Logik eine manuelle Übersteuerung durch den Aufblendhebel weiterhin ermöglichen. Die Ansteuerung durch die Lichthupe bliebe dabei weiterhin unberührt.In order to correct possible misdetections by the camera system, the control logic should continue to allow manual override by the fade lever. The activation by the flashlight would remain unaffected.

Für die drahtlose Übertragung wird Bluetooth bevorzugt, da es eine dedizierte Kommunikation nur mit eingebuchten Geräten erlaubt. Andere Bluetoothgeräte in Reichweite werden nicht beeinflusst.For wireless transmission, Bluetooth is preferred because it allows dedicated communication only with registered devices. Other Bluetooth devices in range are not affected.

Aktivierung der Bluetoothschnittstelle:Activation of the Bluetooth interface:

Nach Aktivierung der Bluetoothschnittstelle an der Aftermarketkamera könnte zum Beispiel das Einbuchen des Relais durch einmaliges Aufblenden initiiert werden.After activation of the Bluetooth interface on the aftermarket camera, for example, the registering of the relay could be initiated by a single fade.

Scheibenwischautomatik: NachrüsWAftermarketsysteme zur Regenerkennung (basierend z.B. auf Kamera-, Infrarot- oder kapazitiver Technologie) könnten ein mit Bluetooth ausgestattetes Wischerrelais ansteuern.Windshield wiper control: NachrüsWAftermarket systems for rain detection (based eg on camera, infrared or capacitive technology) could control a equipped with Bluetooth wiper relay.

SpurhalteassistentLane Departure

Ein mobiles Nachrüstsystem für einen Spurhalteassistenten (Lane Departure Warning, Time to Lane Crossing) mit drahtloser Verbindung zu einem Blinkerrelais mit drahtloser Sende- und Empfangmöglichkeit bietet eine erweiterte Fahrerassistenzfunktion für den Spurhalteassistenten:A Lane Departure Warning, Time to Lane Crossing retrofit system with wireless connectivity to a turn signal relay with wireless transmit and receive capability provides advanced Lane Departure Assistant driver assistance features:

Hat der Fahrer den Blinker zum Abbiegen nach links gesetzt, wird vom Blinkerrelais die Statusmeldung „Blinker nach links an" an das mobile Gerät übermittelt. Das mobile Gerät unterdrückt daraufhin die (überflüssige) Warnung, dass die Fahrspur nach links verlassen wird. If the driver has set the turn signal to the left to turn, the turn signal relay transmits the status message "turn signal to the left on" to the mobile device and the mobile device suppresses the (superfluous) warning that the traffic lane will leave to the left.
