Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In one embodiment of the present invention, electronic shift lever including a PRND button and a scroll wheel configured to operate an H-Matic function, which are formed within one region of an upper surface of the shift lever, respectively, in which the shift lever is formed to be attached to and detached from a fixing device which is formed within one region inside a vehicle.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electronic shift lever, comprising: a PRND button; and a scroll wheel configured to operate an H-Matic function, which are formed within one region of an upper surface of the shift lever, respectively, wherein the shift lever is structured to be attachable to and detachable from a fixing device which is formed at one region inside a vehicle, wherein the shift lever is attachable to and detachable from at least two grooves which is formed within the fixing device, wherein a charge panel connected to supply electric power or a magnet is formed within each groove of the fixing device, wherein the shift lever includes a wireless communication device configured to determine whether the PRND button has been pushed and whether the scroll wheel has been rotated and transmit the recognition result to a TCU (transmission control unit). 2. The electronic shift lever of claim 1 , wherein a lateral side of the shift lever is formed in a ‘C’ shape. 3. The electronic shift lever of claim 1 , wherein the shift lever has a charge panel and a steel plate coupling a magnet which is formed within one region of a lower surface of the shift lever to be spaced apart from each other accordingly. 4. The electronic shift lever of claim 1 , wherein the scroll wheel includes a position recognition magnet connected to an aperture sensor. 5. The electronic shift lever of claim 1 , wherein the shift lever includes a charger which is charged by being supplied with external electric power.
