 Empowering new concepts in vehicle control design 

As vehicles, command options and infotainment become more and more complex and feature rich – so does the challenge of simplifying the control interfaces for drivers and passengers alike. Simple, discrete and robust sensing modules combined with new display alternatives create a range of new user interface and design options for the automotive industry. Below are representative but certainly not exhaustive examples of how the industry is beginning to deploy Lumio’s technology.

 

·         Configurable dashboard control surfaces for simplified driver - passenger interfaces that, with ‘pre-detection’, can also improve road-attention.

·          Intuitive data entry, with front and rear projected or printed keyboards

·          Touch screens

·          Steering Wheel Control surfaces

·          Aggregate commands into simple ‘line of sight’ locations

·          Virtual Touch Layer for frequently used commands - for example:

§       Windows – all, and mirrors

§          Infotainment/Navigation control

§          Climate Control

§          Lights, on/off, dimmer, load

§          Cell Phone, answer and dialing

§          Wipers

§          Alarm/Security

Lumio’s modules use tried and tested long MTBF components well suited to the demands of the vehicle industry. Even for simple touch screen applications, Lumio’s technology does not degrade the brightness, clarity and color fidelity of the LCD – making it ideal for the full sunlight conditions which can be found in the vehicle.

 

By minimizing instrument panel and center console complexity and enabling a clutter free interactive environment; Lumio is enriching the automotive experience and allowing drivers to feel more than just the road.

 

Some of the advantages of Lumio’s modules

•          Any flat surface can become interactive

•          Can work on any material including glass

•          Fingers, gloves, stylus detection

•          Different input layouts shapes and sizes can be achieved

•          Full touch screen or mouse functionality

•          Digital solution – high reliability

•          Pre detection capability

•          Low BOM and a reduction in stock codes

•          Reduced design time

•          Simplify manufacturing logistics and maintenance
