Abstract

A vehicle configured to receive a command of a user and a control method for the same may include a manipulator having a metal bar extending in a first direction and formed of a metal material, and a plurality of detectors disposed adjacent to the metal bar in the first direction, a display configured to display a manipulation result of the manipulator, and a controller configured to generate a control signal for controlling an operation of the display based on an output signal of the manipulator, wherein, when a drag touch is input to the manipulator in the first direction, the display displays a function execution screen for a function mapped to the manipulator.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle comprising:
a manipulator including a metal bar extending in a first direction thereof and formed of a metal material, and a plurality of detectors disposed adjacent to the metal bar in the first direction;
a display configured to display a manipulation result of the manipulator; and
a controller configured to generate a control signal for controlling an operation of the display based on an output signal of the manipulator,
wherein, when a drag touch is input to the manipulator in the first direction, a function execution screen is displayed for a function mapped to the manipulator,
wherein the manipulator includes plurality of manipulators including a first manipulator and a second manipulator, and
wherein the display displays a preview screen for a function mapped to the first manipulator when a touch is input to the first manipulator, and displays a preview screen for a function mapped to the second manipulator when the touch is input to second manipulator.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein, when the drag touch is input to the manipulator in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the display terminates the function execution screen for the function mapped to the manipulator.

3. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein different functions are mapped to the first and second manipulators.

4. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
the display displays a result screen for a function mapped to the first manipulator when the drag touch is input to the first manipulator; and
the display displays a result screen for a function mapped to the second manipulator when the drag touch is input to the second manipulator.

5. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the preview screen is provided in a predetermined area of the display screen.

6. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein, when a predetermined touch is input to the second manipulator while the display displays the preview screen for the function mapped to the first manipulator, the display switches the preview screen fur the function mapped to the first manipulator to the preview screen for the function mapped to the second manipulator.

7. A vehicle comprising: a manipulator including a metal bar extending in a first direction thereof and formed of a metal material, and a plurality of detectors disposed adjacent to the metal bar in the first direction: a display configured to display a manipulation result of the manipulator; and a controller configured to generate a control signal for controlling an operation of the display based on an output signal of the manipulator, wherein, when a drag tough is input to the manipulator in the first direction, a function execution screen is displayed for a function mapped to the manipulator, wherein, when a touch is input to the manipulator while the function execution screen is provided to the display, the display displays a home menu screen including a plurality of buttons in a predetermined area of the display screen.

8. The vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the display displays the home menu screen in which the plurality of buttons are disposed on a basis of the first direction of the metal bar.

9. The vehicle of claim 7 , wherein, when a drag touch is input to the manipulator along the metal bar, the display provides a button icon selected by the drag touch from the plurality of buttons provided on the home menu screen by changing a state of the button icon.

10. A vehicle comprising;
a manipulator including a metal bar extending in a first direction thereof and formed of a metal material, and a plurality of detectors disposed adjacent to the metal bar in the first direction;
a display configured to display a manipulation result of the manipulator, and
a controller configured to generate a control signal for controlling an operation of the display based on an output signal of the manipulator,
wherein the manipulator includes:
a first detector device including the metal bar and a first detector connected to the metal bar and configured to collect touch information related to a user regarding the metal bar; and
a second detector device including a plurality of second detectors disposed adjacent to a first side of the metal bar in the first direction and configured to collect touch or proximity information related to the user regarding the plurality of second detectors,
wherein, when detector value information related to the first detector device is collected, the controller is configured to recognize a touch of the user based on detector value information collected by the second detector device with the detector value information related to the first sensor device.

11. The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the manipulator further includes a third detector device including a plurality of third detectors disposed adjacent to a second side of the metal bar in the first direction and configured to collect touch or proximity information related to the user regarding the plurality of third detectors,
wherein, when the detector value information related to the first detector device is received, the controller is configured to recognize the touch of the user based on detector value information collected by at least one of the second detector device and the third detector device with the detector value information related to the first sensor device.

12. A method for controlling a vehicle including a manipulator having a metal bar extending in a first direction thereof and formed of a metal material and a plurality of detectors disposed adjacent to the metal bar in the first direction, and a display configured to display a manipulation result of the manipulator, the method including:
inputting a drag touch to the manipulator in the first direction;
generating a control signal for controlling an operation of the display based on an output signal of the manipulator; and
displaying, by the display, a function execution screen for a function mapped to the manipulator,
wherein the manipulator includes a plurality of manipulators including a first manipulator and a second manipulator; and
displaying, by the display, a preview screen for a function mapped to the first manipulator when a touch is input to the first manipulator, and displaying, by the display, a preview screen for a function mapped to the second manipulator when the touch is input to the second manipulator.

13. The method of claim 12 , further including terminating, by the display, the function execution screen for the function mapped to the manipulator when the drag touch is input to the manipulator in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

14. The method of claim 12 , further including displaying, by the display, the preview screen for the function mapped to the manipulator in a predetermined area of the display screen when the touch is input to the manipulator.

15. A method for controlling a vehicle in a manipulator having a metal bar extending in a first direction thereof and formed of a metal material and a plurality of detectors disposed adjacent to the metal bar in the first direction, and a display configured to display a manipulation result of the manipulator ,the method including:
inputting a drag touch to the manipulator in the first direction:
generating a control signal for controlling an operation of the display based on an output signal of the manipulator;
displaying, by the display, a function execution screen for a function mapped to the manipulator; and
displaying, by the display, a home menu screen including a plurality of buttons in a predetermined area of the display screen when a touch is input to the manipulator while
