Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the embodiments described below are only for explanation of the embodiments of the present invention so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the invention, It does not mean anything. In describing various embodiments of the present invention, the same reference numerals are used for components having the same technical characteristics.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a system for controlling the appearance of a transportation means according to a transportation means situation according to an embodiment of the present invention; Fig.

In the present invention, the transportation means includes a vehicle, a ship, an aircraft and a drone.

1, the automatic vehicle exterior appearance control system may include a control unit 120, a sensor unit 140, a navigation unit 160, a display unit 200, and the like.

The control unit 120 generates an image based on the data received from the sensor unit 140 or the navigation unit 160. In addition, the control unit 120 may generate images by determining the data received from the sensor unit 140 and the navigation unit 160 in a complex manner.

The control unit 120 can receive data from the ECU of the transportation means. The data received from the ECU can be replaced or supplemented with data received from the sensor unit 140 or the navigation unit 160. [

The control unit 120 may include a memory unit (not shown) for storing data. According to this, the image to be displayed on the display unit 200 can be stored in advance in a specific situation. In addition, the control unit 120 may correct the stored image according to the status of the transportation means and transmit the modified image to the display unit 200. [

The control unit 120 can change the image being displayed on the display unit 200 to another image based on data received from the ECU, the sensor unit 140, or the navigation unit 160. [ For example, if the vehicle is accelerating and suddenly accelerates, the acceleration related image may be changed to a sudden stop related image.

The control unit 120 generates an image based on the information input through the sensor unit 140, the navigation unit 160, the unmanned operation system, and the like. The user can select a desired image.

If there is no input signal, the controller 120 recognizes the input signal as one situation and can generate an image corresponding thereto. In addition, when a signal is input through any one of the sensor unit 140, the navigation unit 160, and the unmanned operation system, the control unit 120 recognizes the signal as a different situation and can generate a corresponding image, Even when a signal is input from the input device, it can be recognized as a separate situation and a corresponding image can be generated.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, when the signals input through the sensor unit 140, the navigation unit 160, and the unmanned operation system are performed in a specific order, the controller 120 recognizes the signals as a continuous situation, Can be generated. In this case, a plurality of images may be overlapped, overlapped, or sequentially displayed. Such a video display method is preset in the control unit, and the user can change such setting.

The sensor unit 140 detects the operation inside the transportation means and the situation outside the transportation means. For example, the sensor unit 140 can sense the internal state of the transportation means such as the rotation of the handle, the flashing of the turn signal lamp, the operation of the accelerator pedal, the operation of the brake pedal, Such as temperature, humidity, location of the lane, distance from the surrounding transportation means, and the like.

For this detection, the sensor unit 140 senses the operation of the control units 150 inside the transportation means. For example, the sensor unit 140 may include a first sensor for detecting the operation of the accelerator pedal, a second sensor for detecting the operation of the deceleration pedal (brake pedal), a third sensor for detecting the operation of the turn signal lever, A fourth sensor for sensing operation, and the like.

In addition, the sensor unit 140 may include a camera sensor for sensing the position of the lane, an infrared sensor for sensing the distance from the peripheral transportation means, a temperature sensor for sensing the temperature of the outside, a humidity sensor , A light sensor for sensing the intensity of external light, and the like.

Each of the sensors independently senses a situation and transmits sensing data to the control unit 120.

The sensing method of the sensor unit 140 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be divided into two methods. First, there is a method in which a signal sensed from sensors mounted inside / outside the transportation means is transmitted to the direct control unit 120, and the other is that the sensor unit 140 includes a sensor network or a comprehensive control system, The control unit 120 transmits the signal to the control unit 120 via the signal line.

In addition, the sensor unit 140 can collect data from the control unit 150 as well as from the result of operation by the operation of these control units 150. [ For example, data can be collected by using external display mounted on the outside of the vehicle such as turn signals, brakes, etc., or instrument panel display information such as a seat belt signal, a fuel quantity gauge, a speedometer, and an rpm system displayed on the instrument panel of the vehicle It is possible to do.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the means of transport may comprise an unattended operating system. The unmanned operation system can be implemented through control of the control unit. The unmanned operation system may include an infrared sensor, a camera sensor, an infrared sensor, and the like. The unmanned operation system can analyze the perceived surrounding information through the camera sensor and generate an image displayed on the display. The unmanned operating system includes a fully unattended operating system that is involved in the entire running of a vehicle and a partially unattended operating system such as driving a brake when a nearby object is detected.

The navigation unit 160 senses driving information of the transportation means. That is, the navigation unit 160 recognizes the information about the road on which the transportation means is running or the information on the road around the transportation means. The navigation unit 160 may include a GPS module.

The navigation unit 160 recognizes information related to the operation of the transportation means and transmits the information to the control unit 120.

The navigation unit 160 includes a navigation device mounted on the vehicle, and the user can input a control signal by operating the navigation device. That is, the user can manipulate the image displayed on the display unit 200 outside the transportation means by operating the navigation device. The navigation apparatus can be operated by a touch method or a voice recognition method.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the navigation unit 160 may be equipped with a memory. The memory mounted on the navigation unit 160 may include a fixed memory configured to transmit a specific image to a control unit when a specific situation occurs, and a variable memory including an image that the user can arbitrarily edit as needed .

The user can change the memory according to the situation and display the image suitable for the situation. For example, the first memory may store images displayed when traveling through the city center, and the second memory may store images displayed when traveling by the sea. The images stored in the memory can be changed or added through a server or a removable storage device.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the navigation unit 160 may be integrally formed with the transportation means without having a separate navigation device. In this case, a control signal may be input through the touch panel included in the mobile terminal or the display unit 200. [

The display unit 200 is formed so as to cover all or a part of the outer surface of the transportation means. The display unit 200 receives image data from the control unit 120 and changes an image displayed according to the situation.

The display unit 200 may include a curved surface display, a flexible display, a transparent display, and the like.

The display unit 200 may be attached to the upper surface, the left and right sides, and the front and rear surfaces of the transportation means, and the displays attached to the respective surfaces may be driven in conjunction with each other or may be independently driven. For example, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible that an image is displayed to sequentially move to the front, right, rear, and left sides.

Although an image may be displayed on the display unit 200, it is also possible that the display unit 200 simply blinks. For example, the entire display on one side may blink as if the turn signal flashes.

In addition, the display unit 200 may include a touch panel. The user can select an image displayed on the display unit 200 by drawing a specific pattern on the display attached to the outer surface of the transportation means. For example, when the user manually draws the word " parking " on the display unit 200, this information is transmitted to the control unit 120 so that an image related to parking can be displayed on the display unit 200. [ Similarly, when information on a specific color or situation is drawn on the display unit 200, information on the pattern is transmitted to the control unit 120, and the control unit 120 transmits the image corresponding to the pattern to the display unit 200.

2 is a block diagram of a system for controlling the appearance of a transportation means according to a transportation means situation according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the display unit 200 is formed to cover all or a part of the outer surface of the transportation means. The display portion 200 can be arranged such that the thin film type display covers the outer surface of the transportation means. The display unit 200 receives image data from the control unit 120 and changes an image displayed according to the situation.

The display unit 200 includes a top display 240, a front display 220, a rear display 230, a side display 210, and the like. The side display 210 may include a first display formed on the left side of the vehicle and a second display formed on the right side of the vehicle. The first display and the second display are formed to be symmetrical to each other.

The displays attached to each side of the vehicle may be driven in conjunction with each other or may be independently driven.

Hereinafter, examples in which the display unit 200 attached to the outer surface of the transportation means displays different images according to circumstances will be described with reference to FIG. 3A to FIG. 3A to 5, the display unit may be attached to one or more surfaces of the transportation means. For example, the display portion may be attached to one side or both sides of the transportation means as in Fig. 3a or 3b, or the display portion may be attached to the rear side of the transportation means as in Fig. 4a or 4b. In other words, the display unit can be mounted on at least one of the front surface, the top surface, and the side surface of the transportation means.

FIG. 3A is a conceptual view showing appearance control at the time of acceleration of a transportation means according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a conceptual view illustrating appearance control at the time of acceleration of a transportation means according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3A, when the transportation means is accelerated, an oblique image is displayed on the display unit 200. The oblique image can be changed in tilt depending on the degree of acceleration.

That is, when θ 1, the smaller the acceleration As the acceleration increases, the angle &thetas; 2 It can be changed to have a slope. Also, the color of the oblique line can be changed along with the change of the inclination. For example, when the acceleration is small, the oblique line indicated by blue may be changed to red when the acceleration becomes large.

Referring to FIG. 3B, when the transportation means is accelerated, an image in the form of an arrow is displayed on the display unit 200. Such an arrow-shaped image can be varied in size depending on the degree of acceleration.

That is, when the acceleration becomes large, the angle between the arrows becomes smaller than the angle between the arrows when the acceleration is small.

According to another embodiment, when the vehicle is accelerated, the display unit 200 may display an image in which a spark is lit, thereby providing an image of acceleration to an outside person.

When the vehicle is decelerated, an image opposite to that during acceleration may be displayed. For example, an image of a flame-out shape may be displayed, or an oblique or arrow-shaped image that was displayed at the time of acceleration may be displayed in the opposite direction.

FIG. 4A is a conceptual view illustrating appearance control at the time of a right turn according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4B is a conceptual view illustrating appearance control at the time of lane change according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4A and 4B, the control unit 120 displays images on the display unit 200 using the data received from the sensor unit 140 and the navigation unit 160 in a complex manner.

For example, FIG. 4A shows an image displayed when the right direction indicator is blinking at an intersection. 4A, the operation signal of the right direction indicator operation lever is transmitted to the controller 120, and the intersection information is transmitted from the navigation unit 160 at the same time. The control unit 120 synthesizes the signal from the sensor unit 140 and the signal from the navigation unit 160 to generate a right turn signal image. And the right turn signal image can be generated by an arrow mark 231 bent to the right side. Similarly, in the case of the left turn, an image of a broken arrow mark may be generated.

4B shows an image displayed when the right direction indicator is blinking on a straight road. 4B, the operation signal of the right direction indicator operation lever is transmitted to the control unit 120, and the straight road information is transmitted from the navigation unit 160 at the same time. The control unit 120 synthesizes the signal of the sensor unit and the signal of the navigation unit 160 to generate a right lane change signal image. The right lane change signal can be generated by the arrow mark 232 directed to the right side. Likewise, in the case of the left lane change, an image of the improvement arrow mark may be generated to the left.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the U-turn display image may be displayed when the direction indicator lever is operated toward the center line after the center line is identified by the front and rear camera sensors, or when the handle is rotated toward the center line.

Figure 5 is a conceptual diagram illustrating various applications of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, a character image may be displayed on the display unit 200. For example, information regarding (a) a concession display, (b) a contact display at the time of parking, (c) a status display of the transportation means, and (d) a parking related display may be displayed as character images.

Such a character image can be used for giving a warning to nearby pedestrians or means of transportation such as when another means of transport intervenes or is about to leave the parking line.

In addition, the display unit 200 displays information such as a name of a near destination displayed on the navigation unit 160, a number of transportation means accidents and the number of transgressions, a notification of drinking or abrupt driving, a psychological state of a driver, Can be displayed. For example, when an unusual vehicle operation pattern is detected, the control unit 120 may change the design or color of the vehicle so as to give a warning to the surrounding vehicle, and display a message requesting assistance in case of an emergency or an accident can do. As another example, when the second sensor detects a sudden operation of the deceleration pedal, the control unit 120 may transmit an image including a warning phrase to the display unit 200. [ Also, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the generation of such messages may be performed by speech recognition.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the design of the transportation means can be changed according to an external situation.
