Description

Module de retour haptique destiné à être intégré dans un véhicule automobile pour dispositif nomade et dispositif de commande  Haptic feedback module for integration into a motor vehicle for a mobile device and a control device
correspondant La présente invention concerne un module de retour haptique destiné à être intégré dans un véhicule automobile pour dispositif nomade. L'invention concerne aussi un dispositif de commande pour véhicule automobile comprenant un tel module de retour haptique.  The present invention relates to a haptic feedback module for integration into a motor vehicle for nomadic device. The invention also relates to a control device for a motor vehicle comprising such a haptic feedback module.
. On entend ici par « dispositif nomade », un dispositif mobile, soit externe au véhicule soit intégré au véhicule mais pouvant changer de place dans ce véhicule. On peut citer en exemple, un téléphone mobile, un assistant personnel en anglais « PDA » pour « Personal Digital Assistant », ou encore un téléphone mobile présentant des fonctionnalités similaires à celles d'un ordinateur couramment appelé « Smart phone », un système de positionnement par satellite GPS pour l'anglais « Global Positioning System », une tablette tactile communicante, un ordinateur disposant d'une coque tactile.  . Here "mobile device" means a mobile device, either external to the vehicle or integrated into the vehicle but may change places in this vehicle. An example of this is a mobile phone, a PDA for Personal Digital Assistant, or a mobile phone with features similar to those of a computer commonly known as a smartphone. GPS positioning for the English "Global Positioning System", a communicating touch pad, a computer with a touch shell.
Ces dispositifs nomades ne sont pas forcément équipés d'un système de retour haptique permettant de générer un retour haptique adapté à la conduite de manière à ce que l'utilisateur reste concentré sur la route, pour par exemple signaler à l'utilisateur qu'une commande a bien été prise en compte, notamment en conduite de nuit ou lors d'une manipulation en aveugle.  These nomadic devices are not necessarily equipped with a haptic feedback system for generating a haptic feedback suitable for driving so that the user remains focused on the road, for example to signal to the user that control has been taken into account, especially in night driving or when handling blind.
Et concernant les dispositifs nomades équipés d'un système de retour haptique, ils ne doivent pas être tenus en main pendant la conduite, pour des raisons de sécurité, et en outre les retours haptiques générés peuvent ne pas être adaptés à un usage automobile car ils sont trop faibles et ne sont perçus que peu ou prou.  And concerning mobile devices equipped with a haptic feedback system, they must not be held in hand while driving, for safety reasons, and haptic feedback generated may not be suitable for automotive use because they are too weak and are only perceived more or less.
On connaît par exemple du document EP2053361, un support intégré dans un véhicule automobile apte à recevoir un dispositif nomade tel qu'un dispositif de navigation portable ou encore un PDA ou un téléphone mobile, permettant à l'utilisateur de ne pas tenir en main le dispositif nomade. Cependant, aucun dispositif n'est prévu pour générer un retour haptique adapté à un usage automobile.  Document EP2053361 is known for example, a support integrated in a motor vehicle adapted to receive a nomadic device such as a portable navigation device or a PDA or a mobile phone, allowing the user not to hold in his hand. nomadic device. However, no device is provided to generate a haptic feedback suitable for automotive use.
On connaît également du document DE102005021105 un support intégré dans un véhicule automobile apte à recevoir un dispositif nomade tel qu'un PDA ou un téléphone mobile. Ce support permet également à l'utilisateur de ne pas tenir en main le dispositif nomade mais aucun dispositif n'est prévu pour générer un retour haptique adapté à un usage automobile. Also known from DE102005021105 a support integrated into a motor vehicle adapted to receive a mobile device such as a PDA or a mobile phone. This support also allows the user not to hold the handheld device but no device is provided to generate a haptic feedback suitable for automotive use.
L'invention a donc pour objectif de pallier ces inconvénients de l'art antérieur en permettant de transmettre par l'intermédiaire du dispositif nomade un retour haptique à l'utilisateur adapté à la conduite automobile.  The invention therefore aims to overcome these disadvantages of the prior art by allowing to transmit via the nomadic device a haptic feedback to the user suitable for driving.

- la figure 5 représente le module de retour haptique de la figure 2 avec un volet de protection recouvrant totalement le dispositif nomade.  - Figure 5 shows the haptic feedback module of Figure 2 with a protective cover completely covering the nomadic device.
Dans ces figures les éléments identiques portent les mêmes références.  In these figures, the identical elements bear the same references.
La figure 1 illustre un module de retour haptique 1 comprenant :  FIG. 1 illustrates a haptic feedback module 1 comprising:
- un support 2, par exemple sous forme de socle 2, intégré dans un véhicule automobile (non représenté) pour porter ou recevoir un dispositif nomade 3 comme l'illustre la figure 2, et  a support 2, for example in the form of a pedestal 2, integrated in a motor vehicle (not shown) for carrying or receiving a nomadic device 3 as illustrated in FIG. 2, and
- au moins un actionneur 17 pour transmettre un mouvement au dispositif nomade 3 de manière à générer un retour haptique.  at least one actuator 17 for transmitting a movement to the nomadic device 3 so as to generate a haptic feedback.
Du fait du ou des actionneur(s) 17, le module 1 est donc un module à retour haptique permettant de générer un retour haptique adapté à la conduite automobile. Le module 1 n'est donc pas un simple support du dispositif nomade, tel que défini par exemple dans les documents EP2053361et DE102005021105, qui ne comporte pas d'actionneur pour transmettre un mouvement au dispositif nomade non tenu en main par l'utilisateur, de façon à générer un retour haptique suffisant pour être perceptible en situation de conduite.  Because of the actuator (s) 17, the module 1 is a haptic feedback module to generate a haptic feedback suitable for driving. The module 1 is therefore not a mere support for the nomadic device, as defined for example in the documents EP2053361and DE102005021105, which does not include an actuator for transmitting a movement to the nomadic device not held in hand by the user, way to generate a sufficient haptic feedback to be perceptible in a driving situation.
Pour un confort de l'utilisateur, ce module de retour haptique 1 est placé à proximité de l'utilisateur dans toute zone du véhicule accessible à l'utilisateur, par exemple au niveau de la console centrale du véhicule, de la porte de l'utilisateur qu'il s'agisse du conducteur ou du passager, ou encore de la planche de bord.  For user comfort, this haptic feedback module 1 is placed close to the user in any area of the vehicle accessible to the user, for example at the center console of the vehicle, the door of the door. whether the driver or the passenger, or the dashboard.
On entend ici par dispositif « nomade », un dispositif mobile externe au véhicule automobile ou alors intégré au véhicule mais déplaçable dans le véhicule. Il peut par exemple s'agir d'un téléphone mobile, d'un téléphone mobile présentant des fonctionnalités similaires à celles d'un ordinateur couramment appelé Smart Phone, d'un assistant personnel numérique « PDA » en anglais pour « Personal Digital Assistant », d'un lecteur MP3 c'est-à-dire pouvant lire des fichiers audio compressés au format MP3 pour « MPEG Audio layer 3 », d'un système de positionnement par satellite GPS pour l'anglais « Global Positioning System », d'une tablette tactile communicante, d'un ordinateur disposant d'une coque tactile. By "mobile" device is meant here a mobile device external to the motor vehicle or integrated into the vehicle but movable in the vehicle. It can by example is a mobile phone, a mobile phone with similar functionality to a computer commonly called Smart Phone, a personal digital assistant "PDA" for "Personal Digital Assistant", an MP3 player that can read MP3 compressed audio files for "MPEG Audio layer 3", a GPS positioning system for the English "Global Positioning System", a tablet communicating touch, a computer with a touch shell.
Ce dispositif nomade 3 comporte une surface de commande tactile 3a comportant par exemple des capteurs de pression utilisant par exemple la technologie FSR pour "Force Sensing Resistor" en anglais, c'est-à-dire utilisant des résistances sensibles à la pression, ou encore des capteurs utilisant une technologie capacitive ou optique.  This nomadic device 3 comprises a tactile control surface 3a comprising, for example, pressure sensors using, for example, the FSR technology for "Force Sensing Resistor" in English, that is to say using pressure sensitive resistors, or else sensors using capacitive or optical technology.
Dans l'exemple illustré sur les figures, le dispositif nomade 3 est un téléphone mobile à surface tactile.  In the example illustrated in the figures, the mobile device 3 is a mobile phone with a tactile surface.
On a représenté de façon schématique sur la figure 3, un exemple de dispositif de commande 5 intégré dans un véhicule automobile auquel peut se connecter le dispositif nomade 3 et comportant un module de retour haptique 1. FIG. 3 is an illustration of an example of a control device integrated in a motor vehicle to which the nomadic device 3 can be connected and comprising a haptic feedback module 1.
Le dispositif de commande 5 comporte une interface de connexion 7 par exemple portée par le socle 2, permettant d'établir une communication de flux d'informations ou de données avec le dispositif nomade 3 muni d'une interface de connexion correspondante. Cette communication peut notamment permettre, dans le cas où le dispositif nomade 3 présente un écran d'affichage, ici l'écran d'affichage et la surface tactile 3a sont confondus, de transférer l'affichage de l'écran d'affichage du dispositif nomade 3 vers une unité d'affichage du véhicule distincte de l'écran d'affichage du dispositif nomade 3. Dans ce cas, l'affichage du dispositif nomade 3 peut être éteint ou adapté à la conduite automobile en présentant par exemple des icônes plus grandes facilitant la navigation dans un menu ainsi que des commandes de sélection et validation.  The control device 5 comprises a connection interface 7 for example carried by the base 2, for establishing an information flow or data flow with the nomadic device 3 provided with a corresponding connection interface. This communication may in particular allow, in the case where the nomadic device 3 has a display screen, here the display screen and the touch surface 3a are combined, to transfer the display of the display screen of the device nomad 3 to a vehicle display unit separate from the display screen of the nomadic device 3. In this case, the display of the nomadic device 3 can be extinguished or adapted to driving by presenting for example more icons. great for navigating a menu as well as selection and validation commands.
Cette communication pour transmettre des flux d'informations ou de données peut être sans fil par exemple de type Bluetooth ou encore Wi-Fi (marques déposées). This communication to transmit flows of information or data can be wireless for example Bluetooth type or Wi-Fi (trademarks).
On peut prévoir en variante que l'interface de connexion 7 comprend un lecteur de carte SIM (en anglais « Subscriber Identity Module ») pour les dispositifs nomades munis de telles cartes.  Alternatively, the connection interface 7 comprises a SIM card reader (in English "Subscriber Identity Module") for mobile devices equipped with such cards.
Cette interface 7 permet aussi d'authentifier un dispositif nomade 3 autorisé avant un échange de données ou de flux d'informations entre le dispositif de commande 5 et le dispositif nomade 3.  This interface 7 also makes it possible to authenticate a nomadic device 3 authorized before an exchange of data or information flows between the control device 5 and the nomadic device 3.
Le dispositif de commande 5 peut en outre comporter un module 9 de connexion à un réseau de communications R.  The control device 5 may further comprise a module 9 for connection to a communications network R.
Le dispositif de commande 5 peut encore comporter un écran d'affichage 11, un ou plusieurs moyens d'entrée de commande 13 tels qu'une molette, un joystick, un clavier de commande, une surface tactile, et un module de son 15 comportant un microphone et/ou un ou des haut-parleurs.  The control device 5 may also comprise a display screen 11, one or more control input means 13 such as a wheel, a joystick, a control keyboard, a touch surface, and a sound module 15 comprising a microphone and / or one or more speakers.
Un tel dispositif de commande 5 permet à titre d'exemple lorsque le dispositif nomade 3 comporte un répertoire de numéros téléphoniques d'afficher la liste des numéros sur l'écran 11, de sélectionner un numéro à appeler à l'aide du moyen 13, d'établir une connexion avec le réseau de télécommunications R, de parler à travers le microphone et de recevoir la communication à l'aide des hauts-parleurs du module 15.  Such a control device 5 allows, by way of example, when the mobile device 3 comprises a directory of telephone numbers to display the list of numbers on the screen 11, to select a number to be called using the means 13, to establish a connection with the telecommunications network R, to speak through the microphone and to receive the communication using the loudspeakers of the module 15.
En alternative, ce dispositif de commande 5 peut permettre d'afficher sur l'écran Alternatively, this control device 5 can display on the screen
11 une liste de fichiers audio/video enregistrés dans le dispositif nomade 3, de sélectionner un fichier à lire, et d'entendre à l'aide des hauts-parleurs et éventuellement regarder sur l'écran 11 ou un écran additionnel plus grand, le fichier sélectionné. 11 a list of audio / video files recorded in the nomadic device 3, to select a file to read, and to hear using the speakers and possibly look on the screen 11 or a larger additional screen, the selected file.
En outre, ce dispositif de commande 5 peut comporter une unité de commande 19 du module de retour haptique, plus précisément des actionneurs 17.  In addition, this control device 5 may comprise a control unit 19 of the haptic feedback module, more specifically actuators 17.
Ce dispositif de commande 5 peut également comporter un système d'observation et d'analyse 23 permettant d'adapter le retour haptique généré en fonction du comportement de l'utilisateur, plus précisément du conducteur, comme cela sera décrit par la suite. En se référant aux figures 1 à 3, on constate que le socle 2 porte les actionneurs 17 adaptés pour transmettre à l'utilisateur un retour haptique adapté à l'usage automobile à travers le dispositif nomade 3, afin d'assurer par exemple à l'utilisateur la prise en compte d'une commande entrée sur la surface tactile 3a du dispositif nomade 3. This control device 5 may also include an observation and analysis system 23 for adapting the haptic feedback generated according to the behavior of the user, specifically the driver, as will be described later. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, it can be seen that the base 2 carries the actuators 17 adapted to transmit to the user a haptic feedback suitable for automobile use through the nomadic device 3, in order to ensure, for example, the user taking into account of a command entered on the tactile surface 3a of the nomadic device 3.
L'unité de commande 19 reliée à l'actionneur 17 est par exemple utilisée pour fournir un signal de commande à l'actionneur 17 pour que ce dernier transmette un mouvement au dispositif nomade 3, de manière à générer le retour haptique adapté à l'usage automobile. Le signal de commande est par exemple sinusoïdal ou comporte un ou une succession de puises dans une ou plusieurs directions de l'espace de façon simultanée ou alternative.  The control unit 19 connected to the actuator 17 is for example used to provide a control signal to the actuator 17 so that the latter transmits a movement to the nomadic device 3, so as to generate the haptic feedback adapted to the automotive use. The control signal is for example sinusoidal or has one or a succession of pulses in one or more directions of the space simultaneously or alternatively.
On peut prévoir que le signal de commande varie en fonction de paramètres du véhicule pour adapter le retour haptique. Plus précisément, à titre d'exemple, on peut intensifier le retour haptique, par exemple en transmettant au dispositif nomade 3 un mouvement plus rapide ou d'amplitude plus forte, lorsque le véhicule est en train d'accélérer ou encore lorsque la vitesse du véhicule atteint un seuil prédéterminé. Pour cela, l'unité de commande 19 reçoit ces informations de capteurs du véhicule et adapte le signal de commande en conséquence.  It can be provided that the control signal varies according to vehicle parameters to adapt the haptic feedback. More precisely, by way of example, it is possible to intensify the haptic feedback, for example by transmitting to the nomadic device 3 a faster or a higher amplitude movement, when the vehicle is accelerating or when the speed of the vehicle is accelerating. vehicle reaches a predetermined threshold. For this purpose, the control unit 19 receives this sensor information from the vehicle and adapts the control signal accordingly.
En outre, on peut prévoir que l'attitude de l'utilisateur est analysée pour adapter le retour haptique. Plus précisément, un système d'observation 23 de l'utilisateur peut communiquer des informations par exemple à l'unité de commande 19 qui adapte le signal de commande en conséquence.  In addition, it can be expected that the attitude of the user is analyzed to adapt the haptic feedback. More specifically, an observation system 23 of the user can communicate information, for example, to the control unit 19 which adapts the control signal accordingly.
À titre d'exemple, le système d'observation 23 par exemple prévu dans le dispositif de commande 5, peut comporter une caméra pour suivre les mouvements du regard de l'utilisateur, et une unité d'analyse qui à partir de ces mouvements détermine si l'utilisateur est particulièrement concentré sur la route et s'il a besoin par exemple d'un retour haptique plus fort. Par exemple, si de nombreux écarts angulaires du regard sont détectés, le signal de commande est adapté pour générer un retour haptique intensifié en transmettant par exemple au dispositif nomade 3 un mouvement plus rapide ou de plus forte amplitude. Dans l'exemple illustré, le socle 2 présente une ouverture 19 délimitée en pointillé pour recevoir le dispositif nomade 3. For example, the observation system 23 for example provided in the control device 5 may include a camera to monitor the movements of the user's gaze, and a unit of analysis which from these movements determines if the user is particularly focused on the road and needs, for example, a stronger haptic feedback. For example, if numerous angular differences of gaze are detected, the control signal is adapted to generate an intensified haptic feedback by transmitting for example to the nomadic device 3 a faster movement or higher amplitude. In the example illustrated, the base 2 has an opening 19 delimited in dotted line to receive the nomadic device 3.
Le dispositif nomade 3 peut être maintenu dans cette ouverture 19 par différents moyens de maintien. À titre d'exemple, le dispositif nomade 3 peut être clipsé. En alternative, le socle 2 peut présenter une portion élastique pour maintenir et/ou serrer le dispositif nomade 3. Selon une autre variante, le socle 2 et le dispositif nomade 3 présentent tous deux des surfaces d'aimantation de polarité contraire. Selon encore une autre variante, le socle 2 peut présenter une portion en matériau magnéto-rhéologique qui se déforme à proximité d'un aimant porté par le dispositif nomade 3. On peut prévoir encore que le dispositif nomade présente une ou plusieurs pattes de fixation qui viennent s'engager respectivement dans des trous correspondants complémentaires sur le socle 2.  The nomadic device 3 can be maintained in this opening 19 by different holding means. For example, the nomadic device 3 can be clipped. Alternatively, the base 2 may have an elastic portion to hold and / or tighten the nomadic device 3. According to another variant, the base 2 and the nomadic device 3 both have magnetization surfaces of opposite polarity. According to yet another variant, the base 2 may have a magneto-rheological material portion which deforms near a magnet carried by the nomadic device 3. It may further be provided that the nomadic device has one or more fastening tabs which engage respectively in corresponding complementary holes on the base 2.
En référence aux figures 4 et 5, un volet de protection 21 peut être disposé sur le socle 2 afin de protéger le dispositif nomade 3.  With reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, a protective flap 21 may be placed on the base 2 in order to protect the nomadic device 3.
Ce volet 21 peut être intégré au socle 2 et être mobile entre une première position escamotée laissant libre l'ouverture 19 du socle 2 (figures 1 et 2) de façon à pouvoir placer le dispositif nomade 3 et une deuxième position déployée de protection fermant l'ouverture 19 du socle 2 (figure 5) de façon à protéger le dispositif nomade 3.  This flap 21 may be integrated in the base 2 and be movable between a first retracted position leaving free the opening 19 of the base 2 (Figures 1 and 2) so as to place the nomadic device 3 and a second extended protective position closing the door. opening 19 of the base 2 (FIG. 5) so as to protect the nomadic device 3.
Ce volet 21 peut aussi être dissocié du socle 2 et être fixé de manière amovible sur le socle 2 une fois le dispositif nomade 3 reçu dans l'ouverture 19.  This flap 21 can also be dissociated from the base 2 and be removably attached to the base 2 once the nomadic device 3 received in the opening 19.
Outre sa fonction de protection, le volet 21 peut faire office de surface tactile ou encore d'écran d'affichage tactile. Le volet 21 est donc également connecté au dispositif nomade par l'intermédiaire du module de retour haptique 1 par exemple par une technologie sans fil Bluetooth® ou encore Wi-Fi™ tel que précisé précédemment.  In addition to its protection function, the shutter 21 can act as a touch surface or a touch screen display. The flap 21 is therefore also connected to the mobile device via the haptic feedback module 1 for example by Bluetooth® wireless technology or Wi-Fi ™ as specified above.
Le volet 21 comporte donc des capteurs de détection par exemple utilisant la technologie « FSR » ou encore capacitive. On privilégie la technologie « FSR » mieux adaptée à la conduite automobile.  The flap 21 therefore comprises detection sensors for example using the "FSR" or capacitive technology. We favor the technology "FSR" better suited to driving.
Selon la première variante dans laquelle le volet 21 est une surface tactile, il peut être réalisé en un matériau transparent, en particulier pour permettre à l'utilisateur de voir l'affichage sur l'écran d'affichage du dispositif nomade 3 protégé par le volet 21. Afin d'améliorer le confort d'utilisation en conduite automobile, on peut également prévoir que le volet 21 comporte un moyen de grossissement d'image, tel qu'une lentille, une vitre déformante, ou tout autre équivalent, permettant à l'utilisateur de voir l'affichage du dispositif nomade 3 avec un agrandissement prédéfini. According to the first variant in which the flap 21 is a touch surface, it can be made of a transparent material, in particular to allow the user to see the display on the display screen of the nomadic device 3 protected by the part 21. In order to improve the comfort of use in driving, it is also possible that the flap 21 comprises an image magnification means, such as a lens, a deforming glass, or any other equivalent, allowing the user to see the display of the nomadic device 3 with a predefined magnification.
Dans le cas contraire où l'affichage du dispositif nomade 3 est transféré sur une unité d'affichage distincte du véhicule, le volet 21 peut être réalisé indifféremment en matériau transparent ou opaque.  In the opposite case where the display of the nomadic device 3 is transferred to a display unit separate from the vehicle, the flap 21 can be made indifferently of transparent or opaque material.
Selon la deuxième variante dans laquelle le volet 21 est un écran d'affichage tactile, on peut envisager que l'affichage du dispositif nomade 3 est transféré sur le volet 21. Pour cela, on utilise par exemple un écran à cristaux liquides selon la technologie TFT pour « thin film transistor » en anglais.  According to the second variant in which the flap 21 is a touch-sensitive display screen, it may be envisaged that the display of the nomadic device 3 is transferred to the flap 21. For this purpose, for example, a liquid crystal display is used according to the technology. TFT for "thin film transistor" in English.
Dans tous ces cas, le mouvement généré par les actionneurs 17 doit donc être amplifié de manière à garantir un retour haptique suffisant au niveau du volet 21, transmis par l'intermédiaire du socle 2 et/ou du dispositif nomade 3.  In all these cases, the movement generated by the actuators 17 must therefore be amplified so as to guarantee sufficient haptic feedback at the flap 21 transmitted via the base 2 and / or the nomadic device 3.
Selon une alternative non représentée, le socle 2 comporte une embase d'adaptation (non représentée) fixée de manière amovible dans l'ouverture 19 et dédiée au dispositif nomade 3 concerné et éventuellement également à d'autres dispositifs nomades particuliers. Cette fixation peut se faire à l'aide d'un des moyens de maintien précédemment cités. En outre, le dispositif nomade 3 peut également être maintenu dans l'embase (non représentée) par l'un des moyens de maintien cités ci-dessus. L'embase (non représentée) participe donc également au maintien du dispositif nomade 3 dans le socle 2.  According to an alternative not shown, the base 2 comprises an adaptation base (not shown) removably attached in the opening 19 and dedicated to the nomadic device 3 concerned and possibly also to other particular nomadic devices. This attachment can be done using one of the aforementioned holding means. In addition, the nomadic device 3 can also be maintained in the base (not shown) by one of the holding means mentioned above. The base (not shown) therefore also participates in maintaining the nomadic device 3 in the base 2.
On peut prévoir différentes embases d'adaptation respectivement dédiées à un ou plusieurs dispositifs nomades particuliers. Le socle 2 peut donc ainsi être adapté en fonction du dispositif nomade 3 concerné.  It is possible to provide different adaptation bases respectively dedicated to one or more particular nomadic devices. The base 2 can thus be adapted according to the nomadic device 3 concerned.
Selon encore une autre alternative non représentée, le dispositif nomade 3 peut être fixé de manière amovible directement sur le socle 2 sans être reçu dans une ouverture 19 du socle 2 telle que décrite ci-dessus.  According to another alternative not shown, the nomadic device 3 can be removably attached directly to the base 2 without being received in an opening 19 of the base 2 as described above.
En outre, on peut prévoir que le socle 2 soit orientable selon au moins deux directions distinctes, par exemple une première orientation de type « portrait » et une deuxième orientation de type « paysage », pour adapter le socle 2 selon les préférences de l'utilisateur ou encore en fonction de l'application requise ou encore pour s'adapter à l'orientation de l'affichage du dispositif nomade 3. On peut citer en exemple la possibilité d'un affichage plus grand en mode paysage par rapport au mode portrait, par exemple d'icônes ou d'un clavier virtuel sur la surface tactile 3a du dispositif nomade 3 permettant une navigation et la réalisation de gestes de commande plus aisée en conduite. In addition, provision can be made for the base 2 to be steerable in at least two distinct directions, for example a first orientation of "portrait" type and a second orientation type "landscape", to adapt the base 2 according to the preferences of the user or depending on the application required or to adapt to the orientation of the display of the nomadic device 3. It can give as an example the possibility of a larger display in landscape mode compared to portrait mode, for example icons or a virtual keyboard on the touchpad surface 3a of the nomadic device 3 allowing navigation and the execution of control gestures easier in driving.
Pour cela, le socle 2 est monté mobile en rotation autour d'un axe de rotation A sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan P défini par le socle 2 (figure 1), sur une zone fixe du véhicule.  For this, the base 2 is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation A substantially perpendicular to the plane P defined by the base 2 (Figure 1), on a fixed area of the vehicle.
En complément ou en variante, le socle 2 peut être incliné de façon à améliorer la visibilité de l'utilisateur, ou encore pour éviter de voir des reflets sur la surface tactile 3a du dispositif nomade 3.  In addition or alternatively, the base 2 can be tilted so as to improve the visibility of the user, or to avoid seeing reflections on the tactile surface 3a of the nomadic device 3.
A cet effet, le socle 2 est monté mobile en rotation autour d'un axe de pivotement Bl ou B2 sensiblement parallèle au plan P défini par le socle 2, sur une zone fixe du véhicule.  For this purpose, the base 2 is rotatably mounted about a pivot axis B1 or B2 substantially parallel to the plane P defined by the base 2, on a fixed area of the vehicle.
Dans l'exemple illustré sur la figure 1 le socle 2 est sensiblement parallélépipédique et le premier axe de pivotement B l est sensiblement parallèle au coté longitudinal du socle 2. Le deuxième axe de pivotement B2 est sensiblement parallèle au côté latéral du socle 2.  In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the base 2 is substantially parallelepipedal and the first pivot axis B 1 is substantially parallel to the longitudinal side of the base 2. The second pivot axis B2 is substantially parallel to the lateral side of the base 2.
On prévoit alors des moyens de blocage du socle 2 sur la zone fixe du véhicule selon les différentes directions d'orientation possibles.  Provision is then made for locking means of the base 2 on the fixed area of the vehicle according to the various possible orientation directions.
Bien entendu la zone fixe du véhicule sur laquelle est montée le socle 2 selon l'une des orientations possibles, doit être une zone accessible à l'utilisateur. Comme précisé précédemment, cette zone peut être au niveau de la console centrale, de la porte à proximité de l'utilisateur ou encore sur la planche de bord.  Of course the fixed area of the vehicle on which the base 2 is mounted according to one of the possible orientations, must be an area accessible to the user. As previously stated, this area may be at the center console, the door near the user or on the dashboard.
Par ailleurs, le socle 2 peut présenter une zone 23 de connexion reliée à une source d'alimentation électrique du véhicule et par l'intermédiaire de laquelle la batterie du dispositif nomade 3 peut être rechargée. Pour cela, le dispositif nomade 3 comporte une zone de connexion complémentaire. Le dispositif nomade 3 peut donc être rechargé de façon simple par l'intermédiaire du socle 2 sans nécessiter de connectique supplémentaire encombrante. Furthermore, the base 2 may have a connection zone 23 connected to a power source of the vehicle and through which the battery of the nomadic device 3 can be recharged. For this, the nomadic device 3 comprises a complementary connection area. The nomadic device 3 can therefore be recharged in a simple way via the base 2 without the need for extra cumbersome connections.
De plus, dans le cas où le socle 2 comporte une embase d'adaptation, cette embase présente une zone 23 de connexion prévue pour correspondre à la zone de connexion d'un ou plusieurs dispositifs nomades 3 particuliers.  In addition, in the case where the base 2 comprises an adapter base, this base has a connection zone 23 provided to correspond to the connection area of one or more nomadic devices 3 particular.
Le socle 2 est donc évolutif pour s'adapter à différents dispositifs nomades envisageables.  The base 2 is scalable to adapt to different nomadic devices can be envisaged.
En ce qui concerne les actionneurs 17, on peut prévoir un ou plusieurs actionneurs 17 selon la force requise pour générer un retour haptique adapté à l'usage automobile. Ces actionneurs 17 peuvent être de type « voice-coil » en anglais, à électroaimant, ou encore piézoélectriques. Ces différents types d'actionneurs étant connus de l'Homme du Métier, ils ne seront pas décrits plus en détail dans la présente.  As regards the actuators 17, one or more actuators 17 can be provided according to the force required to generate a haptic feedback suitable for automobile use. These actuators 17 may be of the type "voice-coil" in English, electromagnet, or piezoelectric. These different types of actuators are known to those skilled in the art, they will not be described in more detail herein.
En outre, les actionneurs 17 peuvent être configurés pour transmettre un mouvement de translation dans le plan défini par le dispositif nomade 3 et/ou perpendiculaire au plan défini par le dispositif nomade 3, comme l'illustre les flèches F sur les figures 2, 4 et 5. On peut prévoir en variante ou en complément, que les actionneurs 17 transmettent un mouvement de rotation.  In addition, the actuators 17 may be configured to transmit a translation movement in the plane defined by the nomadic device 3 and / or perpendicular to the plane defined by the nomadic device 3, as illustrated by the arrows F in FIGS. and 5. It can be provided alternatively or in addition that the actuators 17 transmit a rotational movement.
Dans l'exemple illustré, les actionneurs 17 sont agencés de manière à transmettre le mouvement au dispositif nomade 3 par l'intermédiaire du socle 2.  In the example illustrated, the actuators 17 are arranged to transmit the movement to the nomadic device 3 via the base 2.
En variante (non représentée), les actionneurs 17 peuvent être agencés pour être en contact mécanique avec le dispositif nomade 3, de manière à transmettre le mouvement directement au dispositif nomade 3 sans l'intermédiaire du socle 2.  Alternatively (not shown), the actuators 17 may be arranged to be in mechanical contact with the nomadic device 3, so as to transmit the movement directly to the nomadic device 3 without the intermediary of the base 2.
Selon encore une autre variante (non représentée), le module de retour haptique According to another variant (not shown), the haptic feedback module
1 peut comporter une pièce intermédiaire logée dans le socle 2 avec un degré de liberté supplémentaire par rapport au socle 2 et en contact direct avec d'une part le dispositif nomade 3 et d'autre part les actionneurs 17, de sorte que le mouvement des actionneurs1 may comprise an intermediate piece housed in the base 2 with an additional degree of freedom with respect to the base 2 and in direct contact with the nomadic device 3 on the one hand and the actuators 17 on the other hand, so that the movement of the actuators
17 est transmis au dispositif nomade 3 par cette pièce intermédiaire et non le socle 2.17 is transmitted to the nomadic device 3 by this intermediate piece and not the base 2.
Dans ce cas, le socle 2 peut être fixe lors de la génération du retour haptique. Selon un premier mode de réalisation les actionneurs 17 sont configurés pour transmettre un mouvement au dispositif nomade 3 lorsqu'un contact est détecté sur la surface tactile 3a du dispositif nomade 3. In this case, the base 2 can be fixed during the generation of the haptic feedback. According to a first embodiment, the actuators 17 are configured to transmit a movement to the nomadic device 3 when a contact is detected on the tactile surface 3a of the nomadic device 3.
Plus précisément, lorsqu'un contact est détecté sur la surface tactile 3a du dispositif nomade 3, par exemple par des capteurs à surface tactile (non représentés) du dispositif nomade 3 comme des capteurs de pression utilisant par exemple la technologie FSR pour "Force Sensing Resistor" en anglais, c'est-à-dire utilisant des résistances sensibles à la pression, ou encore des capteurs utilisant une technologie capacitive ou optique, le dispositif nomade 3 transmet un signal de détection de contact au module de retour haptique 1 par exemple à destination de l'unité de commande 19 des actionneurs 17 en utilisant par exemple la technologie Bluetooth® ou encore Wi- Fi™ par l'intermédiaire de l'interface de connexion 7. More specifically, when a contact is detected on the tactile surface 3a of the nomadic device 3, for example by tactile surface sensors (not shown) of the nomadic device 3 as pressure sensors using for example the FSR technology for "Force Sensing" Resistor "in English, that is to say using pressure sensitive resistors, or sensors using a capacitive or optical technology, the nomadic device 3 transmits a contact detection signal to the haptic feedback module 1 for example to the control unit 19 of the actuators 17 using for example Bluetooth ® or Wi-Fi ™ technology via the connection interface 7.
À réception de ce signal de détection de contact, cette unité de commande 19 (voir figure 3) peut transmettre un signal de commande aux actionneurs 17 qui se mettent en mouvement. Le mouvement des actionneurs 17 est alors transmis mécaniquement au socle 2 puis au dispositif nomade 3 par l'intermédiaire du socle 2, ou en variante directement au dispositif nomade 3 ou encore via une pièce intermédiaire, comme précisé précédemment.  On receipt of this contact detection signal, this control unit 19 (see FIG. 3) can transmit a control signal to the actuators 17 which move. The movement of the actuators 17 is then transmitted mechanically to the base 2 and the nomadic device 3 via the base 2, or alternatively directly to the nomadic device 3 or via an intermediate piece, as specified above.
On peut également prévoir que la surface tactile 3a du dispositif nomade 3 présente différentes zones tactiles actives par exemple respectivement associées à une commande prédéfinie, de sorte que lorsqu'un contact est détecté sur une de ces zones tactiles, il y a transmission d'un signal de détection de contact permettant de déclencher la génération d'un retour haptique tel que décrit ci-dessus. Au contraire, lorsqu'un contact est appliqué sur la surface tactile 3a entre deux zones, on peut prévoir qu'aucun signal de détection n'est transmis et donc qu'aucun retour haptique n'est généré.  It can also be provided that the tactile surface 3a of the nomadic device 3 has different active touch zones, for example respectively associated with a predefined command, so that when a contact is detected on one of these touch zones, there is transmission of a contact detection signal for triggering the generation of a haptic feedback as described above. On the contrary, when a contact is applied on the touching surface 3a between two zones, it can be provided that no detection signal is transmitted and therefore no haptic feedback is generated.
Par ailleurs, lorsque la surface tactile 3a comporte des capteurs FSR, on peut prévoir que la transmission d'un signal de détection de contact pour enclencher la génération d'un retour haptique, est fonction du niveau de pression du contact appliqué sur la surface tactile 3a.  Moreover, when the touch surface 3a comprises FSR sensors, it can be provided that the transmission of a contact detection signal to trigger the generation of a haptic feedback is a function of the pressure level of the contact applied to the touch surface. 3a.
Plus précisément, on peut prévoir qu'un contact exercé sur la surface tactile 3a avec un niveau de pression inférieur à un seuil de pression prédéfini est associé à une commande de sélection dans un menu et par conséquent ne requiert pas de génération de retour haptique. Dans ce cas, aucun signal de commande n'est transmis aux actionneurs 17. More specifically, it can be provided that a contact exerted on the touch surface 3a with a pressure level below a predefined pressure threshold is associated with a selection command in a menu and therefore does not require haptic feedback generation. In this case, no control signal is transmitted to the actuators 17.
Au contraire, lorsque le niveau de pression d'un contact exercé sur la surface tactile 3a atteint le niveau de pression prédéfini, on associe ce contact à une commande de validation qui nécessite un retour haptique. Dans ce cas, le dispositif nomade 3 transmet un signal de détection de contact et les actionneurs 17 reçoivent un signal de commande pour générer un retour haptique. Un second mode de réalisation diffère du premier mode de réalisation par le fait que la surface tactile sur laquelle les contacts sont exercés est prévue sur le volet 21 (figure 5) et non plus sur le dispositif nomade 3. Bien entendu la surface tactile du volet 21 peut présenter les mêmes caractéristiques que la surface tactile 3a du dispositif nomade 3.  On the contrary, when the pressure level of a contact exerted on the touch surface 3a reaches the predefined pressure level, this contact is associated with a validation command which requires a haptic feedback. In this case, the nomadic device 3 transmits a contact detection signal and the actuators 17 receive a control signal to generate a haptic feedback. A second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the touch surface on which the contacts are exerted is provided on the flap 21 (FIG. 5) and no longer on the nomadic device 3. Of course, the touch surface of the flap 21 may have the same characteristics as the tactile surface 3a of the nomadic device 3.
Dans ce cas, lorsqu'un contact est détecté sur la surface tactile du volet 21 , ce dernier transmet un signal de détection de contact à destination du module de retour haptique 1 par exemple à l'unité de commande 19 (figure 3) qui transmet un signal de commande aux actionneurs 17 pour générer un retour haptique. Dans ce cas, le signal de commande est adapté pour que le retour haptique généré selon ce second mode de réalisation soit plus fort que le retour haptique généré selon le premier mode de réalisation.  In this case, when a contact is detected on the touch surface of the shutter 21, the latter transmits a contact detection signal to the haptic feedback module 1, for example to the control unit 19 (FIG. 3) which transmits a control signal to the actuators 17 to generate a haptic feedback. In this case, the control signal is adapted so that the haptic feedback generated according to this second embodiment is stronger than the haptic feedback generated according to the first embodiment.
En effet, les actionneurs 17 transmettent un mouvement au socle 2 et/ou au dispositif nomade 3, qui le transmet à son tour au volet 21. Selon un troisième mode de réalisation (figures 2 et 3), le dispositif nomade 3 est un dispositif à retour haptique, et les actionneurs 17 sont configurés pour transmettre un mouvement au dispositif nomade 3 lorsqu'un mouvement généré par le dispositif nomade 3 est détecté, de manière à amplifier le retour haptique.  Indeed, the actuators 17 transmit a movement to the base 2 and / or the nomadic device 3, which in turn transmits it to the flap 21. According to a third embodiment (FIGS. 2 and 3), the nomadic device 3 is a device haptic feedback, and the actuators 17 are configured to transmit a movement to the nomadic device 3 when a movement generated by the nomadic device 3 is detected, so as to amplify the haptic feedback.
Dans ce cas, le socle 2 comporte un ou plusieurs capteurs de mouvement (non représentés), tel qu'un accéléromètre, agencés de façon à être reliés mécaniquement au dispositif nomade 3 lorsqu'il est reçu dans le socle 2 ou fixé sur le socle 2. Bien entendu, on peut prévoir des capteurs de mouvement optiques, ou encore tout autre capteur permettant d'identifier que le dispositif nomade 3 est en mouvement. In this case, the base 2 comprises one or more motion sensors (not shown), such as an accelerometer, arranged to be mechanically connected to the mobile device 3 when received in the base 2 or fixed on the base 2. Of course, one can provide optical movement sensors, or any other sensor to identify that the nomadic device 3 is in motion.
Lorsque le dispositif nomade 3 génère un retour haptique pour signaler à l'utilisateur la prise en compte de sa commande, les capteurs de mouvement détectent le mouvement du dispositif nomade 3 et transmettent un signal de détection de mouvement par exemple à destination de l'unité de commande 19 des actionneurs 17. À réception de ce signal de détection de mouvement, cette unité de commande 19 peut transmettre un signal de commande aux actionneurs 17 qui se mettent en mouvement. Le mouvement des actionneurs 17 est alors transmis mécaniquement au socle 2 puis au dispositif nomade 3 par l'intermédiaire du socle 2, ou en variante directement au dispositif nomade 3 ou encore via une pièce intermédiaire, comme précisé précédemment.  When the nomadic device 3 generates a haptic feedback to signal the user to take into account its control, the motion sensors detect the movement of the nomadic device 3 and transmit a motion detection signal for example to the unit actuator 19 of the actuators 17. Upon receipt of this motion detection signal, this control unit 19 can transmit a control signal to the actuators 17 which move. The movement of the actuators 17 is then transmitted mechanically to the base 2 and the nomadic device 3 via the base 2, or alternatively directly to the nomadic device 3 or via an intermediate piece, as specified above.
Ainsi, avec un tel socle 2, on augmente le confort ergonomique du dispositif nomade 3 dans le contexte automobile en générant de façon simple un retour tactile perçu sans difficulté par l'utilisateur.  Thus, with such a base 2, the ergonomic comfort of the nomadic device 3 is increased in the automotive context by generating in a simple way a tactile feedback perceived without difficulty by the user.
