HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE AND METHODS OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

A human machine interface (HMI) minimizing the number of gestures for operation control in which user-intended operation commands are accurately recognized by dividing a vehicle interior into a plurality of regions. The HMI receives an input of a gesture according to each region, and controls any one device according to the gesture. Convenience of a user is improved because the gesture may be performed in a state in which region restriction is minimized by identifying an operation state and an operation pattern of an electronic device designated according to each region to recognize the user's intention when the user performs the gesture in a boundary portion between two regions or even in multiple regions.

主权项

1. A vehicle having a human machine interface (HMI) apparatus configured to output an operation command of a user to at least one of a plurality of electronic devices, the HMI apparatus comprising:
a storage unit configured to store position information of a plurality of regions, operation commands of the plurality of electronic devices positioned in the plurality of regions, and gesture information of the operation commands; a recognition unit configured to recognize a gesture of the user; and a control unit configured to identify electronic devices installed in a region adjacent to a boundary region when the gesture is recognized in the boundary region of the plurality of regions and control the operation command corresponding to the gesture to be output to any one of the identified electronic devices.
