Abstract
An integrated switch device for a vehicle includes: an input device configured to receive a user's fingerprint; a touch device configured to generate a mirror angle adjustment signal; a touch display configured to display a door control interface, a mirror selection interface, a mirror control interface, and a seat setting interface; and a controller configured to determine an operation mode based on whether the vehicle in a driving mode, a power condition, and whether a door is open and to set an interface displayed on the touch display among the door control interface, the mirror selection interface, the mirror control interface, and the seat setting interface depending on the operation mode.
Claims19
An integrated switch device for a vehicle, comprising:
- an input device configured to receive a user's fingerprint;
- a touch device configured to generate a mirror angle adjustment signal;
- a touch display configured to display a door control interface, a mirror selection interface, a mirror control interface, and a seat setting interface;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine an operation mode based on whether the vehicle is in a driving mode, a power condition, and whether a door is open;
- and
- set an interface displayed on the touch display among the door control interface, the mirror selection interface, the mirror control interface, and the seat setting interface depending on the operation mode,
- wherein the controller is further configured to:
- activate a user's fingerprint input mode, a door lock/unlock input mode, and a mirror folding input mode as a first mode;
- activate a mirror selection mode, a mirror angle input mode, and the mirror folding input mode as a second mode;
- switch the first mode to the second mode when a swipe is input in a right to left direction in the first mode;
- and
- switch the second mode to the first mode when the swipe is input in a left to right direction in the second mode.
A method for operating an integrated switch device, which comprises an input device, a touch device, a touch display, and a controller, for a vehicle, the method comprising steps of:
- setting, by the controller, a user's fingerprint input mode, a door lock/unlock input mode, and a mirror folding input mode to a first mode;
- setting, by the controller, a mirror selection mode, a mirror angle input mode, and the mirror folding input mode to a second mode;
- setting, by the controller, an integrated memory system (IMS) setting mode and a driver selection mode to a third mode;
- setting, by the controller, an engine start and stop input mode and a power state display mode to a fourth mode;
- setting, by the controller, a mode in which a fingerprint registration progress is displayed in a bar shape and a percent to a fifth mode;
- and
- transiting, by the controller, a state between the first mode, the second mode, the third mode, the fourth mode, and the fifth mode depending on a user's operation.
