Abstract
A user interface device, a vehicle having the same, and a method of controlling the same, implement a display unit configured to display a plurality of characters, a dial part configured to select any one character among the plurality of characters, and a touch part configured to be touched by a user. A control unit of the interface is configured to select a handwritten recognition mode as a character input mode when the touch part is touched, and select a dial operation mode as the character input mode when the dial part is operated, thereby improving user convenience.
Claims19
A user interface device, comprising:
- a display configured to display a plurality of characters;
- a dial part installed separately from the display, and configured to select any one character from among the plurality of characters;
- a touch part provided integrally with the dial part, and configured to be touched by a user;
- and
- a controller configured to select a character input mode as a handwritten recognition mode when the touch part is touched, and select the character input mode as a dial operation mode when the dial part is operated,
- wherein the plurality of characters includes a first character group and a second character group each corresponding to a different kind of character,
- when the first character group is displayed on the display and the second character group is handwritten in the touch part, the controller performs control to maintain display of the first character group in one part of the display, and performs control to display the handwritten second character group in another part of the display.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a user interface device including a display configured to display a plurality of characters, and an input configured to move in a straight direction, rotate, and receive a touch signal;
- and
- a controller configured to select a character input mode of the user interface device as a handwritten recognition mode when the input is touched, and select the character input mode as a dial operation mode when the input is moved,
- wherein the plurality of characters includes a first character group and a second character group each corresponding to a different kind of character,
- when the first character group is displayed on the display and the second character group is handwritten in the touch part, the controller performs control to maintain display of the first character group in one part of the display, and performs control to display the handwritten second character group in the other part of the display.
A method of controlling a user interface device comprising a display, a dial part, and a touch part, the method comprising:
- selecting a character input mode as a dial operation mode when the dial part is operated;
- recognizing a character selected by a user among a plurality of characters displayed on the display based on an operation signal of the dial part;
- selecting a handwritten recognition mode as the character input mode when the touch part is touched;
- recognizing the character handwritten by the user based on a touch signal of the touch part;
- and
- displaying the recognized character on the display,
- wherein the displaying of the recognized character on the display comprises:
- recognizing a second character group of the plurality of characters which is handwritten when the second character group is handwritten in the touch part, maintaining display of the first character group in one part of the display, and performing display of the handwritten second character group in another part of the display.
