Abstract
The invention concerns a human-machine dialog system (1) comprising: a support (3) having a plurality of identical docking stations (30), each docking station (30) being associated with a universal human-machine dialog device (4), each universal human-machine dialog device (4) comprising at least a display member (41) and a sensor member (40), a plurality of modular members (2), each modular member (2) being arranged to be positioned in a docking station (30) in a removable and interchangeable manner and comprising a human-machine dialog interface (20) arranged to cooperate with said display member (41) and/or said sensor member (40).
Claims16
A human-machine dialog system, comprising:
- a support having a plurality of identical docking stations, each docking station being associated with a universal human-machine dialog device, each universal human-machine dialog device comprising at least a display member and a sensor member,
- a plurality of modular members, each modular member being arranged to be positioned in a docking station in a removable and interchangeable manner and comprising a human-machine dialog interface arranged to cooperate with said display member and/or said sensor member, said plurality of modular members including a first modular member positioned in a first docking station and whose human-machine dialog interface is a control interface and a second modular member positioned in a second docking station and whose human-machine dialog interface is a display interface,
- a central control unit arranged to receive a control signal from the sensor member of the first docking station when the control interface of the first modular member is activated and to send a control order to the display member of the second docking station to activate the display interface of the second modular member,
- wherein
- each modular member has an electronic tag storing in its memory the type of human-machine dialog interface of the modular member with which it is associated, and
- the system has a station for reading the electronic tags that are incorporated into each modular member, said reading station having an antenna arranged inside the support.
