GLAZING
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to automating operations in a vehicle in a secure manner and in particular, a system for automating operations/components in a vehicle using an integrated glazing.
Background
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Existing high-end vehicles include control systems for automating vehicle operations. The control systems provide ease of use to passengers and ensure efficiency in operating vehicle components. However, existing control systems for vehicles have many shortcomings. For example, control systems lack the ability to adjust vehicle operation based on real-time values and user preferred settings. Typical control systems are limited to a specific function such as engine controls, speed controls, temperature controls and the like.
[0004] Typical vehicle control operations include locking/unlocking of vehicles, control of HVAC, infotainment controls, heating grid controls, GPS navigation and the like. Existing prior art teaches a method and system for selective activation of a near field communication (NFC) module in the vehicle. The vehicle NFC module may be part of a vehicle communication and access system capable of initiating various vehicle functions, such as unlocking one or more doors of the vehicle or starting a motor or engine of the vehicle. However, the vehicle NFC module is not tamper-proof and does not provide seamless control of other vehicle operations/components.
[0005] Another prior art teaches a method for wirelessly registering and monitoring a vehicle occupying a defined restricted-access zone by communicating vehicle identity data and location data via a transceiver information from a vehicle by a wireless signal to an intelligent wireless communication device suitably mounted at a location to identify and monitor the vehicle within a defined restricted access zone. Thereafter, the wireless signal in the intelligent wireless registers communication device thereby ascertaining the identity and location of the vehicle within the defined restricted-access zone. However, the current prior art does not function effectively when the vehicle is not accessible to GPS. Also, the current prior art is limited to communicating location data and does not communicate other parameters pertaining to the vehicle.
[0006] Further, existing vehicles do not support operations that are triggered by an RFID/NFC. Existing vehicles incorporate an RFID tag (for example, Fastag) that is attached to the vehicle to automate operations such as payment at the toll. In the above scenario, the RFID tag stores information pertaining to the vehicle, insurance, and other payment information. Another prior art US7999682 also discloses a method of mounting RFID tags on the laminated glazing using a sticker transponder. However, the RFID tag is not tamper-proof and is prone to misuse. Further, the existing RFID tag does not provide seamless connectivity with other vehicle components and control system of the vehicle. There exists a need for a secure, tamper-proof solution to perform vehicle operations involving RFID/NFC tags.
[0007] The automotive laminated glass is particularly designed to provide the driver a view of the forward region of the vehicle during driving and rearward region of the vehicle during reversing and other maneuvers. More recently, automobile laminated glass has shown a trend to incorporate completely new functions, such as insertion of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) into a laminated glass for lighting units, indicator lights, thereby providing a better alert indication to the driver as compared to a dashboard. Generally, the insertion of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) into an automotive laminated glass allows indicator light display intended for the driver of the vehicle or the passengers or for aesthetic of the vehicle or for internal lighting. However, existing automotive laminated glass does not control operations in a vehicle nor do the laminated glass display alerts in response to the operations.
[0008] A laminated glazing, which incorporates an electrical device such as data transponders, electroluminescent devices and sensors is desirable due to operational ease and to automate the vehicle operations. WO2007122426 provides one example of such automobile glazing. It discloses a laminated glazing, in the form of a roof window comprising an electrical device in the form of an electroluminescent lamp integrated into the laminate construction. Further, US20160159282 provides a plurality of rectangular organic electroluminescent displays laminated in the laminated glass. However, the electroluminescent device integrated into the laminated glazing as mentioned in the above prior arts is only for lighting and/or aesthetic purpose. In addition, the above- mentioned prior arts also fail to disclose the vehicle control functionalities associated with the electroluminescent device.
[0009] However, there are various challenges involved in seamlessly integrating both the display device and the data transponder onto the laminated glazing. Typically, each data transponder work at different frequencies based on the application. Hence, while embedding various data transponders and display devices between the laminate, it is essential to have an optimized inter device spacing and device isolation to achieve best communication performance (transmission/reception). Further, interference between the different components of the integrated glazing such as data transponder devices, antenna, sensors and display can affect the communication to other control systems in the vehicle. Interference from the wiper system in the glazing, heating network and display clip-ons can affect the accessibility and communication of the integrated glazing. Thus, there exists need to develop a laminated glazing overcoming the above-mentioned challenges.
[0010] Hence, it would be desirable to provide an integrated glazing with interactive devices that can communicate with a control system of the vehicle to automate vehicle components and their operations. Further, it is required to have an integrated glazing incorporated with interactive devices that are not placed on the dashboard or the interior of the vehicle with restricted/limited access from outside the vehicle. Also, it is desirable to have a reliable, secure, tamper-proof, and water resistant system that performs operations such as unlocking the car, activating engine and air conditioning, user identification, payment and the like. Further, it is desired to have a system that incorporates data transponder in the integrated glazing for storing and transmitting information.

[0050] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the sequence of operations performed by the intelligent vehicle system. Initially, the integrated glazing 100 stores required information within the data transponder (201). The data transponder 102 includes fixed data and variable data programmed thereto, which are used for initiating vehicle operations/controls. The fixed data is programmed by a user or a manufacturer initially with a unique ID and information pertaining to the vehicle and vehicle owner. Examples of fixed data also include information including VIN number, chassis number, pollution control status, insurance number, owner contact number, emergency contact number, fleet service center name, map information and the like. Examples of variable data include user preferred values for the vehicle control circuits like HVAC, temperature, heating grid network, wiper control, throttle control and the like. The variable data also includes user preferred settings programmed by the user for infotainment, Wi-Fi authorization, and payment details. The integrated glazing 100 also communicates with a sensor system present in the vehicle to update the variable data corresponding to the temperature, humidity, light, proximity, engine temperature tire pressures, fuel levels, rpm. The variable information is continuously modified in real-time based on feedback/commands from the control unit. The sensors can also optionally work in tandem with the fixed data in the data transponders 102 wherein the absolute values are measured by the sensors. The data stored in the data transponder is transmitted at a regular or intermittent time basis (202). The transmitted data is received by the reader device 104 which is placed inside the vehicle or outside the vehicle. The reader device 104 generates signals based on the received data and optionally triggers applications in response to the received data (203). The information from the reader device 104 is transferred to the control/computing system by wired or wireless means. In an example, if the mobile device is used as a reader device, then the mobile device reads information from the glazing to trigger the control system, which is positioned within the vehicle or externally. The mobile device also launches applications based on the read information. The control system 106 also receives sensor data from one or more sensors present in the integrated glazing 100 and from the external sensors 108. The control system 106 processes (or analyses) the signals received from the reader device 104 with a set of preferred limits (204). The set of preferred limits includes but not limited to data corresponding to GPS data, emergency contact numbers, fleet service center, traffic law, danger levels, temperature, humidity, light, proximity, engine temperature tire pressures, fuel levels, and rpm. On completion of processing, the control system 106 generates commands to perform pre-defined operations (205). The control system 106 also provides notifications and alerts on the display unit of the integrated glazing 100 to indicate the status of each pre-defined operation (206). Examples of alert on the display unit includes hazard signal, signal strength, payment status display, digital values/levels for sensor measurements. In the present disclosure, the RF-based glazing would be the first level of communication followed by the triggering of subsequent systems. Thereafter, the control system communicates with the integrated glazing to transmit signals to a display driver, which further activates the display unit.
[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the intelligent system performs locking/unlocking of the vehicle by using a reader device. In this scenario, the reader device 104 is a handheld device or a mobile phone. The reader device 104 is positioned from outside near to the integrated glazing 100 to access user credentials and authenticate the user. Thereafter, the variation of the read values is compared with the set or preferred limits by the control/computing system and appropriate commands or signals are sent to the vehicle control system 106. After authentication, the control system 106 generates commands to lock/unlock a door of the vehicle. In this scenario, the display unit 103 of the integrated glazing 100 can acknowledge the proximity of a user using the reader/mobile device. In another example, based on the commands provides by the intelligent system, activation and deactivation can be performed for control circuits for HVAC, heating grid network, wiper control, throttle control, engine, brake, steering unit. The heating grid network is activated based on input from the moisture/fog levels measured by a plurality of sensors.
[0052] In another example, the display unit of the integrated glazing could be a HUD system that is controlled by gestures to control the location, type of information, brightness and the like. The intelligent system could be implemented for vehicle programming comprising speed, light control (internal, headlamp, fog lamps), horn dB level, camera control. Further, the intelligent system can provide autonomous system support for proximity and inter-vehicle communication. The intelligent system comprises vibration sensors for crash detection and intimation. The intelligent system comprises acoustic sensors to determine external warning or noise signals and for voice recognition activation. In another example, the intelligent system generates messages, email by communicating with a cloud server. In an example, the intelligent system also triggers messages to a dealer via GPS/GSM antenna places in the integrated glazing to place a re-order during glass breakage. Further, the intelligent system provides notifications about service dates to a user.
Geo-Fencing
[0053] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for enabling a geo-fencing alert operation by the intelligent system. In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, the data comprising current vehicle location and pre-defined location boundary information is transmitted from the integrated glazing (301). The data is received by the reader device (302). Thereafter, the current vehicle location is compared with a pre-defined location boundary to determine whether there is a deviation in location based on the comparison (303). Based on the analysis, an alert is provided on the display unit when a deviation in location is determined (304). The alert comprises an error indication on the display, icons in one of red, blue or green color and emoticons.
[0054] In an example, when a vehicle parked in a basement, the GPS of the vehicle is not accessible for a user to navigate to a desired location. In this scenario, the integrated glazing of the present disclosure transmits map information to the reader device and the control system positioned within the vehicle. The control system processes the location information and provides navigation commands to reach the desired location. The navigation command includes route indicators that are displayed on the display unit of the integrated glazing as shown in Table 1.
