Abstract

A vehicular central control display system includes a display device, an information acquisition module, a rotator, and a control module. The display device includes a first display area and a second display area. The first display area and the second display area cooperatively display a common interface. The information acquisition module obtains an operation instruction. The control module causes the rotator according to the operation instruction to drive a position change of the second display area relative to the first display area so that the first display area and the second display area form an angle. When the first display area and the second display area form an angle, the control module controls the first display area to display an operation interface and the second display area to display a control interface. The control interface is configured to input control commands for controlling the operation interface.

First claim

1 . A vehicular central control display system comprising:
a display device comprising a first display area and a second display area, the first display area being above the second display area, the first display area and the second display area cooperatively displaying a common interface; an information acquisition module configured to obtain an operation instruction; a rotator; and a control module configured to cause the rotator according to the operation instruction to drive a position change of the second display area relative to the first display area, so that a front surface of the first display area and a front surface of the second display area form an angle less than 180 degrees; wherein: when the first display area and the second display area form the angle, the control module controls the first display area to display an operation interface and the second display area to display a control interface, the control interface is configured to input control commands for controlling the operation interface.

2 . The vehicular central control display system of claim 1 , wherein:
the information acquisition module is a sensor for detecting the operation instruction to rotate the second display area; and the information acquisition module transmits the operation instruction to the control module.

3 . The vehicular central control display system of claim 1 , wherein:
the information acquisition module is a button configured to be pressed to transmit the operation instruction to the control module.

4 . The vehicular central control display system of claim 1 , wherein:
when the first display area and the second display area cooperatively display the common interface, the second display area is coplanar with the first display area.

5 . (canceled)

6 . The vehicular central control display system of claim 1 , wherein:
the display device is a flexible touch-sensitive display screen.

7 . The vehicular central control display system of claim 1 , wherein:
when the second display area is in an automatic mode, the second display area is rotated according to the operation instruction received by the control module; and when the second display area is in a manual mode, the second display area is rotated manually.

8 . A vehicular central control display method comprising:
obtaining an operation instruction for rotating a second display area of a display device relative to a first display area of the display device, wherein the first display area is located above the second display area, a front surface of the first display area and a front surface of the second display area form an angle less than 180 degrees after rotating the second display area; rotating the second display area relative to the first display area according to the operation instruction so that the second display area forms an angle with the first display area; and displaying an operation interface on the first display area and a control interface on the second display area.

9 . The vehicular central control display method of claim 8 , wherein:
when the second display area is coplanar with the first display area, the first display area and the second display area cooperatively display a common interface.

10 . The vehicular central control display method of claim 8 , wherein:
when the second display area is in an automatic mode, the second display area is rotated according to the operation instruction; and when the second display area is in a manual mode, the second display area is rotated manually.

11 . The vehicular central control display method of claim 10 , wherein:
the operation instruction is received by a sensor, and the sensor transmits the operation instruction for rotating the second display area.

12 . The vehicular central control display method of claim 10 , wherein:
the operation instruction is received by a button, and the button is pressed for transmitting the operation instruction for rotating the second display area.
