Description

DESCRIPTION

Title: Method and device for rendering a location of at least one connected object

The present invention claims priority from French application 2213733 filed on 12/19/2022, the content of which (text, drawings and claims) is herein incorporated by reference.

Technical area

The present invention relates to wireless communication methods and devices. The present invention also relates to a method and a device for locating connected objects in a vehicle.

Technology background

When driving a vehicle, a user, for example a driver or passenger of the vehicle, is required to disperse, voluntarily or as a result of the movements of the vehicle, their personal belongings inside the vehicle. It is therefore possible, when the user leaves the vehicle, that certain personal effects are forgotten or hidden inside the vehicle. The inconvenience caused is even greater in the context of a shared vehicle or a rental vehicle, such a situation potentially leading to the permanent loss of personal effects.

It is known, to find lost objects, for example inside a vehicle, to use object trackers. These trackers make it possible to find the object to which they are attached by emitting a noise, a light or even a signal making it possible to quantify the distance between the tracker and a signal transmitter, for example a smartphone. . This trace is thus imprecise, linked to another third-party object which may also be lost, and unsuitable when the tracer is located in an enclosed environment, for example a glove box.

The location of a user's personal effects inside a vehicle is therefore still insufficient, imprecise and subject to constraints. Summary of the present invention

An object of the present invention is to solve at least one of the problems of the technological background described above.

Another object of the presence invention is to allow a user to find their personal effects more easily inside a vehicle.

According to a first aspect, the present invention relates to a method for rendering a location of at least one connected object in an environment of a vehicle, the method being implemented by a computer, the method comprising the following steps:

- pairing of the connected object with the vehicle using a wireless connection;

- reception of first data representative of an identifier of the connected object via the wireless connection;

- determination of second data representative of a position of the connected object in a vehicle landmark, via the wireless connection;

- rendering, based on the first data and the second data, a message representative of a location of the connected object in the environment of the vehicle.

By pairing within the meaning of the present invention, we mean here and throughout the description which follows the establishment of a wireless connection between the connected object and the vehicle, so that they can exchange information.

It is understood here that the connected object corresponds to an electronic device capable of establishing a wireless connection with the vehicle, for example a personal electronic device of a vehicle user such as a vehicle key, smart watch, smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc. or a dedicated tracer associated with any other object. The method according to the invention is thus suitable for locating a wide variety of objects.

It is further understood that the message representative of a location of the object can be implemented in a variety of forms and indicates to the vehicle user where the connected object is located, for example inside the vehicle. or in its immediate environment, on or under the vehicle or at a short distance from the vehicle. The transcription of the position of the object in the vehicle reference frame can take into account the geometry of the vehicle in order to indicate where the connected object is located in relation to the constituent elements of the vehicle, for example in relation to a seat or specific storage spaces in the vehicle. The message representing a location can thus transmit more precise information than a simple distance between the connected object and the vehicle. The message is then, for example, implemented by an on-board interface of the vehicle, in the form of graphic content or a voice message.

Thus, according to the present invention, the location of connected objects, corresponding to or associated with personal effects of a user of a vehicle, is improved and carried out with additional precision by the use of wireless communication technologies, and communicated directly to the user by taking advantage of the vehicle's on-board interfaces and/or the vehicle's knowledge of its local environment.

According to a variant, the method further comprises receiving a command for locating the connected object, the rendering also being carried out according to the command.

According to an additional variant, the command comprises information representative of an identifier of a searched object, the method further comprising a comparison of the first data with the identifier of the searched object, and the rendering is also carried out according to of a comparison result.

According to another variant, the location command corresponds to activation of an opening of the vehicle.

According to an additional variant, the determination of the second data includes a triangulation of the position of the connected object from a plurality of wireless communication antennas on board the vehicle.

According to yet another variant, the rendering further includes a rendering of a list of connected objects including the connected object.

According to a second aspect, the present invention relates to a device for rendering a location of at least one connected object in an environment of a vehicle, the device comprising a memory associated with a processor configured for the implementation of the steps of the method according to the first aspect of the present invention.

According to a third aspect, the present invention relates to a vehicle, for example of the automobile type, comprising a device as described above according to the second aspect of the present invention.

According to a fourth aspect, the present invention relates to a computer program which comprises instructions adapted for the execution of the steps of the method according to the first aspect of the present invention, in particular when the computer program is executed by at least one processor.

According to a fifth aspect, the present invention relates to a computer-readable recording medium on which is recorded a computer program comprising instructions for executing the steps of the method according to the first aspect of the present invention.

On the one hand, the recording medium can be any entity or device capable of storing the program. For example, the medium may comprise a storage means, such as a ROM memory, a CD-ROM or a ROM memory of the microelectronic circuit type, or even a magnetic recording means or a hard disk.

On the other hand, this recording medium can also be a transmissible medium such as an electrical or optical signal, such a signal being able to be conveyed via an electrical or optical cable, by conventional or terrestrial radio or by self-directed laser beam or by other ways. The computer program according to the present invention can in particular be downloaded onto an Internet type network.

Alternatively, the recording medium may be an integrated circuit in which the computer program is incorporated, the integrated circuit being adapted to execute or to be used in executing the method in question.

Description of the implementation examples

A method and a device for rendering a location of at least one connected object in an environment of a vehicle will now be described in what follows with reference jointly to Figures 1 to 3. The same elements are identified with same reference signs throughout the description which follows.

According to a particular and non-limiting example of an embodiment of the present invention, a method of rendering a location of at least one connected object in an environment of a vehicle comprises the pairing, by a computer on board the vehicle, of the object connected to the vehicle via a wireless connection. The on-board computer corresponds for example to a computer of a vehicle communication system, to a computer of an on-board HMI (Human-Machine Interface) system or even an IVI system (from the English "In-Vehicle Infotainment"). » or in French “Infotainment on-board”), or even to a computer of a vehicle stop-start system. Pairing the connected object with the vehicle corresponds to reestablishing a wireless connection between the object and the vehicle, for example using a Bluetooth®, Wifi® type connection or UWB (Ultra Wide Band) radio technology.

First data representative of an identifier of the connected object are received via the wireless connection, and second data representative of a position of the connected object in the vehicle's landmark are determined via the wireless connection. In other words, the wireless connection between the vehicle and the connected object makes it possible to identify, characterize and position the connected object. The position of the connected object is for example related to the geometry of the vehicle, so as to determine where the connected object is located in relation to a passenger compartment inside the vehicle, or if the connected object is located on or under the vehicle.

Depending on the first data and the second data, a message representative of a location of the connected object in the environment of the vehicle is then rendered, intended for an occupant of the vehicle, for example intended for a driver of the vehicle. vehicle. The message corresponds for example to graphic content, displayed on an on-board display device of the vehicle. The display device corresponds for example to a Human-Machine Interface, called HMI, embedded in the vehicle, for example a display screen arranged in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. According to other examples, the authorization message corresponds to the rendering of a voice message intended for the occupant of the vehicle.

Thus, the location of connected objects in the vehicle is facilitated by taking advantage of their wireless communication capabilities, and communicated to any user of the vehicle so as to identify their position in relation to the geometry of the vehicle. This design helps prevent the accidental loss of objects in the vehicle, by offering intuitive location for the user.

Figure 1 schematically illustrates part of a passenger compartment of a vehicle 10, for example a motor vehicle, according to a particular and non-limiting embodiment of the present invention. The vehicle 10 corresponds for example to an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle. According to other examples, the vehicle 10 corresponds to a coach, a bus, a truck, a utility vehicle or a motorcycle, that is to say a motorized land type vehicle.

The passenger compartment shown in Figure 1 includes a front driver's seat facing the steering wheel and a front passenger seat. At least one screen is for example arranged on the cockpit of the vehicle 10, below the windshield. The screen corresponds for example to an LCD type screen (from the English “Liquid Crystal Display” or in French “Ecran à crystalsliquides”) or OLED (from the English “Organic Light-Emitting Diode” or in French “ Organic light-emitting diode") or other technical display solutions such as projection on a surface or reflection on a blade, for example via the implementation of an augmented reality display, in particular a Head Vision system High, called VTH or HUD (from the English “Head-Up Display” or in French “Affichage Tête Haute”), allowing the inlay of virtual objects in the field of vision of the driver and/or passenger, for example under the windshield of the vehicle or at its height so as to superimpose virtual objects on the real scene, the screen being superimposed on the windshield being in this case considered as part of the cockpit as defined below -Before. In the example of Figure 1, the screen corresponds to a central display 111 and/or a handset 110 of the vehicle 10.

In particular, in the environment of the vehicle 10, here inside the passenger compartment, there is at least one connected object 11. The connected object 11 can also for example be located outside the passenger compartment, for example on the vehicle 10, under the vehicle 10, or at a short distance from the vehicle 10, that is to say in its environment immediate. The connected object 11 corresponds for example to a personal electronic device of a user of the vehicle 10, for example a smartphone, a tablet, a laptop, that is to say an electronic device capable of establishing a wireless connection according to at least one wireless communication mode. According to other examples, the connected object 11 corresponds to any personal object with which a tracker is associated, the tracker being capable of establishing a wireless connection according to at least one wireless communication mode.

A problem which arises is that the use of tracers to find objects remains imprecise, the known solutions generally relying on the emission of a sound or a light which can be easily blocked, or even on a communication between a user's smartphone and the tracker, only making it possible to determine the distance between the smartphone and the tracker. In addition, this communication requires the user to have a smartphone available, which itself can be lost in the environment of the vehicle 10.

In order to propose a solution to this problem, a method of rendering a location of at least one connected object 11 in an environment of the vehicle 10 is advantageously implemented by one or more processors, for example a central computer, a set computers, or even a peripheral computer associated with a dedicated system for locating objects in the vehicle 10.

In a first operation, at least one processor of the vehicle 10, for example a central computer or a set of computers, performs pairing of the connected object 11 with the vehicle 10 using a wireless connection.

The at least one processor comprises for example an intelligent utility box or BSI (in English “Built-In Systems Interface”) or even a VSM (from the English “Vehicle Supervisor Module” or in French “Module de Supervision de Véhicule ") capable of forming a communications network, for example a multiplexed communications network, in which data is transmitted via a wireless or wired link, for example data received from on-board sensors. The at least one processor or BSI (hereinafter referred to as "BSI") is thus connected to a plurality of peripheral computers and/or to other on-board system computers of the vehicle 10, for example of the BMS system of the vehicle 10 and /or an on-board HMI (Human-Machine Interface) system or an IVI system (from the English “In-Vehicle Infotainment” or in French “Infodivertissement onboard”), the BSI communicating for example with a supervisor of the HMI system controlling a or several interfaces of the vehicle 10 including the handset 110 and/or the central display 100 of the vehicle 10. According to other examples, the at least one processor corresponds to a calculator of the BMS system, to the supervisor of the HMI system or to an HMI system calculator. According to yet another example, the at least one processor corresponds to a computer of a stop-start system of the vehicle 10, the stop-start system being paired to the connected object 11 according to the wireless connection. The BSI therefore establishes communication with the connected object 11 so as to allow the exchange of data between the vehicle 10 and the connected object 11 according to a wireless communication mode.

The wireless communication system allowing the exchange of data between the vehicle 10 and the object 11 corresponds for example to:

- an RF radio frequency communication system, for example of the WiFi® type (according to IEEE 802.11, for example according to IEEE 802.11 n or IEEE 802.11 ac), for example in the frequency bands at 2.4 or 5 GHz, or of the type Bluetooth® (according to IEEE 802.15.1), in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, or Sigfox type using UBN (Ultra Narrow Band) radio technology, or LoRa in the 868 MHz frequency band, LTE (from the English “Long-Term Evolution” or in French “Evolution à long-term”), LTE-Advanced (or in French LTE-advanced), or UWB type (from the English Ultra Wide Band, in French ultra wide band); Or

- a cellular network type communication system, for example an LTE type network (from the English “Long-Term Evolution” or in French “Evolution à long term”), LTE-Advanced (or in French LTE-advanced) LTE 4G or 5G.

Obviously, we understand here that the wireless communication system varies depending on the connected object 11 and its communication technologies. The pairing of the vehicle 10 with the connected object 11 corresponds for example to the selection, by the BSI, of a communication mode supported by the connected object 11 for the establishment of a connection between the vehicle 10 and the connected object 11, among a plurality of communication modes of the vehicle 10. It is further understood that the ability of the vehicle 10 to establish wireless communication according to a plurality of communication modes makes it possible to minimize the use of tracers, by drawing advantage of technologies used for personal electronic devices.

In a second operation, the BSI receives first data representative of an identifier of the connected object 11 via the wireless connection. The BSI also determines, in a third operation, second data representative of a position of the connected object 11 in the vehicle's marker via the wireless connection. In other words, the communication between the vehicle 10 and the connected object 11 makes it possible to characterize and position the connected object 11. The first data include for example information representative of an identification number of the connected object, or any other information making it possible to clearly distinguish the connected object 11 from other connected devices, for example a unique "tag" specific to a tracer.

It is understood here that the second data corresponds to data making it possible to identify the position of the connected object 11 in relation to the vehicle, that is to say in the environment of the vehicle. The second data correspond for example to three-dimensional coordinates in the vehicle reference 10, or to an area of the passenger compartment and/or the environment of the vehicle 10 in which the connected object 11 is located.

According to a variant, the vehicle 10 carries a plurality of communication antennas 101, 102, for example Bluetooth® or UWB antennas, the determination of the second data comprising a triangulation of the position of the connected object 11. In other words, each of the antennas 101, 102 makes it possible to determine a distance between the connected object 11 and each antenna 101, 102 via wireless communication. The position of the connected object 11 is then determined by combining the position of each antenna 101, 102 and the respective distance between the antenna 101, 102 and the connected object 11. This design makes it possible to take advantage of the geometry of the vehicle 10 by placing a plurality of communication antennas 101, 102 at distinct locations with the aim of carrying out triangulation, resulting in precise location, of the order of a few centimeters , of the connected object 11, in particular in comparison with location using a smartphone whose small dimensions do not allow triangulation.

It is further understood that the first and second data are transmitted within the multiplexed communication network for the execution of the method. The computer(s) and the BSI communicate and exchange data with each other via one or more computer buses, for example a communication bus of the CAN data bus type (from the English “Controller Area Network” or in French “Réseau de controllers”), CAN FD (from the English “Controller Area Network Flexible Data-Rate” or in French “Réseau de flexible data rate controllers"), FlexRay (according to ISO 17458), Ethernet (according to ISO/IEC 802-3) or LIN (from the English "Local Interconnect Network", or in French "Réseau interconnectée local "). According to an exemplary embodiment, the computer of the vehicle stop-start system 10 thus transmits the first data and the second data to the supervisor of the HMI system inside the multiplexed communication network.

In a third operation, the BSI renders a message representative of a location of the connected object 11 in the environment of the vehicle 10, based on the first and second data.

The supervisor of the HMI system receives, for example, the first data and the second data by communication within the multiplexed communication network, and performs data fusion and rendering according to a man-machine interface on board the vehicle 10. The fusion data corresponds for example to a transcription of the second data with respect to the geometry of the vehicle, so as to associate coordinates of the connected object 11 with a position in or outside the passenger compartment of the vehicle 10, and to a transcription of the first data so as to associate an identifier of the connected object 11 with a given physical object, for example a telephone, a bag, or any other personal effect.

According to the on-board HMI system of the vehicle 10, the rendering of the message corresponds for example to the display of graphic content, for example a representation of the environment of the vehicle 10 on the central display 100 and/or on the handset 110 of the vehicle 10, or to a voice message indicating the location of the connected object 11, in particular with reference to the elements of the vehicle 10, for example a seat, a storage compartment, a glove box, etc. We understand here that the implementation of a representation of the environment of the vehicle 10 and/or a voice message on the location of the object transmits more precise information on the location of the connected object 11, allowing the user to find their way more easily than with the emission of a sound, a light or with an approximate location over the distance of the connected object 11.

According to a variant, the rendering includes a rendering of a list of connected objects, including the connected object 11 in question. The process is for example implemented works in parallel for a plurality of connected objects 11, each corresponding or associated with a personal effect of a user of the vehicle 10, and the first data making it possible to distinguish each of the connected objects 11. Providing a list of objects, for example in the form of a “checklist”, thus ensures that the user does not forget any of their personal belongings. Each connected object 11 can for example be selected from the list of connected objects, by interaction with a vehicle interface and/or user command, so as to display the location of the selected connected object 11.

Optionally, rendering is carried out based on a location command for the connected object 11 received by the BSI. The location command corresponds for example to an activation of an opening of the vehicle 10, or even to a distance between the user and the vehicle 10 and/or between the connected object 11 and the vehicle 10, that is to say - say an event corresponding to a departure of the user without the connected object 11.

According to yet another variant, the command corresponds to a voice command, or to an interaction with an interface of the vehicle 10, that is to say an active search command for the connected object 11. The command includes for example information representative of an identifier of a searched object, corresponding for example to a choice of a connected object 11 in a checklist or to a voice command specifying a particular searched object. The BSI then performs a comparison between the identifier of the object sought and the first data, that is to say the identifier of the connected object 11. The rendering is then carried out based on a result of the comparison. In other words, if the identifier of the searched object corresponds to one of the connected objects 11 in communication with the vehicle 10, the rendering indicates the location of the searched object. On the contrary, if the identifier of the object sought does not correspond to any of the connected objects 11, the rendering indicates that the object sought is not present or cannot be found by the vehicle 10. The user of the vehicle 10 can thus spontaneously request the help of the vehicle 10 to find a particular connected object 11.

Thus, the method according to the invention makes it possible to offer an intuitive and precise location of any object connected to a user of a vehicle, by mainly reusing known communication technologies and without requiring specific device, which itself is at risk of being lost. The risks of item loss are reduced and user comfort is improved.
