US 2019/0163288 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVELY PROVIDING INDICATION ASSOCIATED WITH INPUT IN VEHICLE

Abstract

An electronic device attachable to a vehicle may include an interface, an input device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, and a processor configured to detect that a context related to the vehicle corresponds to a first context based on first information received via the interface, in response to the detection that the context related to the vehicle corresponds to the first context, display a first indication indicating a first function corresponding to the first context from among a plurality of functions of the vehicle, which are controllable by the input device, while displaying the first indication, detect that the context related to the vehicle changed from the first context to a second context based on second information received via the interface, and based on the detection, display a second indication which is changed from the first indication and indicates a second function corresponding to the second context.

Dependent claims

An electronic device attachable to a vehicle, the electronic device comprising:

an interface;
an input device comprising a display;
and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
detect that a context related to the vehicle corresponds to a first context based on first information received via the interface,
in response to the detection that the context related to the vehicle corresponds to the first context, display, on the display, a first indication indicating a first function corresponding to the first context from among a plurality of functions of the vehicle, which are controllable by the input device,
while displaying the first indication, detect that the context related to the vehicle is changed from the first context to a second context based on second information received via the interface, and
based on the detection that the context related to the vehicle is changed to the second context, display, on the display, a second indication which is changed from the first indication and indicates a second function corresponding to the second context from among the plurality of functions.

6 more elements

An input device attachable to a vehicle, the input device comprising:

a housing comprising:
a first surface;
a display exposed via at least a part of the first surface;
and
a control circuitry;
and
a rotatable structure mounted on at least a part of the first surface, and the rotatable structure is configured to enclose the display when the first surface is viewed from a top,
wherein the control circuitry is configured to:
receive, from a control device attached to the vehicle, configuration information including data indicating a function of the vehicle corresponding to a context related to the vehicle which is detected by the control device,
map, to the input device, the function from among a plurality of functions controllable by the input device, based on the configuration information, and
in response to detecting a rotational input on the rotatable structure in a state in which the function is mapped to the input device, transmit, to the control device, information associated with the rotational input to the control device.
