Abstract

Disclosed is a cabin system configured to acquire first information about a first user and second information about a second user through a communication device, to specify each of the first user and the second user based on image data received from an internal camera or an external camera, to provide a control signal to a display or a speaker such that content is provided to a user based on an electrical signal generated by an input device, to determine a first boarding seat of the first user among seats according to the first information and to determine a second boarding seat of the second user among the seats according to the second information, and to determine the posture of the first boarding seat according to the first information and to determine the posture of the second boarding seat according to the second information.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cabin system comprising:
a communication device configured to exchange a signal with an external device;
at least one internal camera configured to acquire an image inside a cabin;
at least one external camera configured to acquire an image outside a vehicle;
an input device configured to convert user input into an electrical signal;
at least one display configured to output visual content;
at least one speaker configured to output auditory content;
a plurality of seats on which a plurality of user is capable sitting; and
at least one processor configured to:
acquire first information about a first user and second information about a second user through the communication device;
specify each of the first user and the second user based on image data received from at least one of the internal camera or the external camera;
provide a control signal to at least one of the display or the speaker such that content is provided to a user based on the electrical signal generated by the input device;
determine a first boarding seat of the first user among the plurality of seats according to the first information and determine a second boarding seat of the second user among the plurality of seats according to the second information; and
determine posture of the first boarding seat according to the first information and determine posture of the second boarding seat according to the second information.

2. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
generate information about a number of people in the cabin based on data about the image inside the cabin; and
provide the information about the number of people in the cabin to a mobile terminal through the communication device.

3. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein
the first information comprises at least one of route information, body information, fellow passenger information, baggage information, location information, or use history information of the first user, and
the second information comprises at least one of route information, body information, fellow passenger information, baggage information, location information, or use history information of the second user.

4. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to set a layout of the seats according to the first information and the second information.

5. The cabin system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a guide lighting disposed on at least one of a floor, a ceiling, a door, or the seats in the cabin,
wherein the processor is configured to provide a control signal to the guide lighting such that guide light is output from the door to the first boarding seat in a case in which entrance of the first user is sensed.

6. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to provide a control signal to at least one of the display or the speaker such that first content corresponding to the first information is output.

7. The cabin system according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to perform control such that:
the first content corresponding to the first information is displayed in a first area of the display; and
second content corresponding to the second information is displayed in a second area of the display.

8. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
select a product based on an electrical signal received from at least one of the communication device, the internal camera, or the input device; and
provide a signal to a cargo system such that the selected product is provided.

9. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
determine a service charge based on an electrical signal received from at least one of the communication device, the internal camera, the external camera, the input device, the display, the speaker, or the seats; and
provide a signal to a payment system such that the determined service charge is charged.

10. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein
the input device comprises a jog dial device configured to protrude from and retreat into an armrest, the jog dial device comprising a gesture sensor, and
the jog dial device is configured to:
receive mechanical input in a state of protruding from the armrest; and
receive gesture input in a state of retreating in the armrest.

11. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein
the input device comprises a jog dial device, and
the processor is configured to provide an interface for handicapped people based on the first information and realize a haptic interface for blind people on one surface of the jog dial device.

12. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein
the input device comprises at least one beamforming microphone, and
the processor is configured to divide voice input through the beamforming microphone into voice of the first user and voice of the second user.

13. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein
the input device is configured to receive first input of the first user and second input of the second user, and
the processor is configured to:
divide a display area of the display into a first area and a second area in a case in which the first input and the second input correspond to different kinds of content;
display first content corresponding to the first input in the first area and display second content corresponding to the second input in the second area; and
display the first content in an entirety of the display area of the display in a case in which the first input and the second input correspond to the first content.

14. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
divide the display into a plurality of areas; and
output a user interface screen through at least one of the areas.

15. The cabin system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
detect a belonging of the first user in the image inside the cabin; and
output an alarm through at least one of the display or the speaker upon determining that the first user exits while leaving the belonging.

16. An electronic device for vehicles, the electronic device comprising:
an interface unit configured to exchange a signal with at least one of a communication device configured to exchange a signal with an external device, at least one internal camera configured to acquire an image inside a cabin, at least one external camera configured to acquire an image outside a vehicle, an input device configured to convert user input into an electrical signal, at least one display configured to output visual content, at least one speaker configured to output auditory content, or a plurality of seats on which a plurality of user is capable sitting; and
at least one processor configured to:
