  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings illustrating embodiments thereof.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an interior light control system in the first embodiment. The interior light control system includes an interior light control device 1, an illumination lamp 2, and a brake ECU 3. The interior light control device 1, the illumination lamp 2, and the brake ECU 3 are provided in the vehicle C, respectively. The electric lamp 2 includes an incandescent light bulb for electric decoration, an LED (Light Emitting Diode), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), and the like. The illumination lamp 2 lights up with one or a plurality of lighting colors. At this time, the illumination lamp 2 may be a single light source or a plurality of light sources. In the first embodiment, the electric lamp 2 is, for example, a step electric lamp 21, a door electric lamp 22, an instrument panel electric lamp 23, a pillar electric lamp 24, and a roof electric lamp 25. It is provided at multiple locations in the room. Moreover, a room lamp, a dome lamp, or a map lamp may be configured as the illumination lamp 2 that lights in one or a plurality of lighting colors. Hereinafter, the foot lamps 21, the door lamps 22, the instrument panel lamps 23, the pillar lamps 24, or the roof lamps 25 are referred to as lamps 2 as appropriate.

  The foot lighting 21 is provided at a position where the floor surface in front of each seat in the passenger compartment can be illuminated. The door illumination lamp 22 is provided on a door trim provided on the vehicle interior side of each door in the vehicle C. The door trim is provided on the inner surface of the door, and includes a door handle that opens the door from the vehicle interior and a door pocket that represents a storage space. The door illumination lamp 22 illuminates the vicinity of the door handle and the inside of the door pocket. The instrument panel illumination lamp 23 is provided on the instrument panel of the vehicle C. The pillar illumination lamp 24 is provided in a garnish attached to the interior of the pillar in the vehicle C, and illuminates the ceiling surface of the vehicle C, for example. The roof illumination lamp 25 is provided on the ceiling surface in the passenger compartment.

  The brake ECU 3 is a control device that controls the brake based on an operation speed and an operation amount with respect to the brake of the vehicle C.

  The interior light control device 1 is a control device that controls the lighting of the interior light, and controls the lighting of the electric lamp 2 so that the lighting mode differs depending on the brake operation of the driver.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing each configuration of the interior light control system. The interior light control device 1 includes a control unit 11. The control unit 11 includes, for example, one or a plurality of CPUs, a multi-core CPU, and the like. The interior light control device 1 includes a storage unit 12, a temporary storage unit 13, a communication unit 14, and an input / output unit 15 connected to the control unit 11 via a bus. The control unit 11 reads a control program 12a and the like stored in the storage unit 12 described later, and controls each unit.

  The storage unit 12 is a nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM) or a flash memory. The storage unit 12 stores a control program 12a for the control unit 11 to perform processing. The control program 12a is a program in which the processing content that the control unit 11 controls each unit included in the interior light control device 1 is described. The storage unit 12 stores an electric lamp table 12b. The illumination lamp table 12b is a table that is referred to when the control unit 11 controls the illumination lamp 2, and details thereof will be described later. Further, a lighting pattern 12c is stored in the storage unit 12. The lighting pattern 12c stores a lighting mode in which the control unit 11 can turn on the electric lamp 2 according to the operation speed and the operation amount with respect to the brake. The lighting mode is, for example, a mode in which the hue of the lighting color of the electric lamp 2 changes stepwise according to the operation speed and the operation amount. The lighting mode is a mode in which, for example, the timing at which the lighting lamp 2 is turned on and off within a predetermined time according to the operation speed and the operation amount changes stepwise.

  The temporary storage unit 13 is a memory such as SRAM (Static RAM) or DRAM (Dynamic RAM). The temporary storage unit 13 temporarily stores various data generated by the control unit 11 executing the control program 12a.

  The communication unit 14 is connected to the brake ECU 3 via a communication line, and transmits and receives information to and from the brake ECU 3 according to a communication protocol used in an in-vehicle LAN (Local Area Network) such as a CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol. A stroke sensor 4 and a pressure sensor 5 are connected to the brake ECU 3. For example, the stroke sensor 4 detects a displacement amount per unit time of a brake pedal provided in the vehicle C, that is, an operation speed for the brake, and outputs the detected operation speed to the brake ECU 3. The pressure sensor 5 detects the depression amount of the brake pedal, that is, the operation amount for the brake, and outputs the detected operation amount to the brake ECU 3. The brake ECU 3 controls a braking device provided in the vehicle C such as a disc brake and a drum brake based on the operation speed and operation amount for the brake output from the stroke sensor 4 and the pressure sensor 5.

  Here, when the operation speed is slow and the operation amount is small, for example, the brake operation is started by the driver. When the operation speed is slow and the operation amount is large, for example, it represents a brake operation performed by the driver before, during, or before the vehicle C stops. The brake operation performed before the vehicle C is stopped is an operation in which the brake pedal is depressed by the driver in order to stop the vehicle C decelerated by the brake operation. The brake operation performed while the vehicle C is stopped is an operation in which the driver depresses the brake pedal in order to maintain the state where the vehicle C is stopped. The brake operation performed before the start of the vehicle C is an operation of releasing the foot from the brake pedal that is depressed by the driver in order to start the vehicle C. When the operation speed is fast and the amount of operation is large, this means that the driver has performed a brake operation for sudden braking, for example. When the operation speed is fast and the operation amount is small, for example, the brake operation is performed before the driver performs a brake operation for sudden braking.

  An operation panel 6 and an electric lamp 2 are connected to the input / output unit 15. The operation panel 6 is a device that includes a display unit such as a liquid crystal panel that displays images such as various operation screens, and buttons or a touch panel for receiving input to the displayed operation screens. The operation panel 6 may be shared with a car navigation device, for example. The operation panel 6 outputs the received operation to the interior light control device 1 and displays the operation screen and the like according to the control of the interior light control device 1.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a specific example of the electric lamp table 12b. A lighting pattern is stored for each lighting location in the illumination lamp table 12b. The lighting location represents the electric lamp 2 provided at each location of the vehicle C. “Step” in the row of lighting points represents the foot lighting 21. In addition, the “door handle” and “door pocket” in the row represent the illumination lamp 2 that illuminates the vicinity of the door handle in the door illumination lamp 22 and the illumination lamp 2 that illuminates the door pocket, respectively. Furthermore, “instrument panel”, “pillar”, and “roof” in the row represent the instrument panel illumination lamp 23, the pillar illumination lamp 24, and the roof illumination lamp 25, respectively.

  The lighting pattern is a lighting mode stored in the lighting pattern 12c. For example, in “gradation A” in the row of lighting patterns, when the brake operation is performed by the driver so that the operation speed with respect to the brake is slow and the operation amount is small, the control unit 11 changes the lighting color to magenta. Thus, the corresponding illumination lamp 2 is controlled. In “gradation A”, when the driver performs a brake operation so that the operation speed is high and the operation amount is large, the control unit 11 displays the corresponding lighting so that the lighting color is red. Control the lamp 2. The occupant of the vehicle C can confirm the lighting mode by controlling the lighting of the corresponding illumination lamp 2 so that the control unit 11 has the lighting mode of “gradation A”. Therefore, the occupant of the vehicle C can know that the driver has performed a brake operation that becomes a sudden brake after the start of the brake operation.

  Note that lighting modes other than “gradation A” may be stored in the illumination lamp table 12b. For example, a lighting mode in which the hue changes as the operation speed increases and the operation amount increases from when the operation speed is high and the operation amount is small may be stored. By controlling the lighting of the corresponding illumination lamp 2 so that the control unit 11 is in the lighting mode, the occupant of the vehicle C can know in advance that a sudden braking operation is performed by the driver. In addition, for example, a lighting mode in which a predetermined lighting color such as blue is turned on when the operation speed is slow and the operation amount is large may be stored. By controlling the lighting of the corresponding illumination lamp 2 so that the control unit 11 is in the lighting mode, the occupant of the vehicle C can know whether or not the brake is depressed by the driver.

  In the interior light control system configured as described above, the control unit 11 of the interior light control device 1 refers to the illumination lamp table 12b and the lighting pattern 12c, and the operation speed and operation for the brake acquired via the communication unit 14. The lighting of the illumination lamp 2 is controlled in different lighting modes according to the amount. Here, the control part 11 receives the input of the lighting location and lighting pattern of the illumination lamp 2 which should be lighted according to the said operation speed and operation amount from the user via the operation panel 6. FIG. Hereinafter, a process performed when the control unit 11 receives the input will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the interior lamp control device 1 when the setting relating to the lighting of the illumination lamp 2 is registered. The control unit 11 determines whether a setting operation request has been received (step S11). The setting operation request is a request for receiving an input of an illumination lamp 2 to be turned on according to an operation speed and an operation amount with respect to a brake and a lighting pattern to be turned on on the illumination lamp 2. The setting operation request is output to the control unit 11 by a user setting operation performed through the operation panel 6. If it is determined that a setting operation request has not been received (S11: NO), the control unit 11 waits until a setting operation request is received.

  When it determines with having received the setting operation request | requirement (S11: YES), the control part 11 displays a control object selection screen on the display part with which the operation panel 6 is provided (step S12). The control target selection screen is an operation screen for receiving an input of the electric lamp 2 that the interior light control device 1 should be turned on in accordance with the driver's brake operation. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a specific example of the control target selection screen. FIG. 5 schematically shows the display unit of the operation panel 6 when the control target selection screen is displayed. The control target selection screen includes a display representing the electric lamp 2 that can be a control target, and a display that can identify whether the control target is selected as a control target such as a check box or a radio button. In the control target selection screen of FIG. 5, it is indicated that the pillar electric lamp 24 is selected as the control target.

  Then, the control part 11 determines whether the input from the control object selection screen was received (step S13). When it determines with not receiving the input (S13: NO), the control part 11 waits until an input is received. In addition, the control part 11 functions as a control object reception part of this invention by running the control program 12a in step S13.

  When it determines with having received the input (S13: YES), the control part 11 memorize | stores the received input content in the temporary memory part 13 (step S14). The received input content is information on the electric decoration lamp 2 to be controlled that is input on the control object selection screen, for example, information on the pillar electric decoration lamp 24.

  Subsequently, the control part 11 displays a lighting pattern selection screen on the display part with which the operation panel 6 is provided (step S15). The lighting pattern selection screen is an operation screen that receives an input of a lighting mode of the electric lamp 2 that the interior light control device 1 lights according to the driver's brake operation. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a specific example of a lighting pattern selection screen. FIG. 6 schematically shows the display unit of the operation panel 6 when the lighting pattern selection screen is displayed. The lighting pattern selection screen includes a display indicating a lighting pattern that can be lit on the electric lamp 2, and a display that can identify whether or not the lighting pattern is selected as a check box, a radio button, or the like. In the control target selection screen of FIG. 6, it is shown that “gradation A” is selected.

  Then, the control part 11 determines whether the input from the lighting pattern selection screen was received (step S16). When it determines with not receiving the input (S16: NO), the control part 11 waits until an input is received. In addition, the control part 11 functions as a lighting mode reception part of this invention by executing the control program 12a in step S16.

  When it determines with having received the input (S16: YES), the control part 11 matches the received lighting aspect and the lighting lamp 2 which should be made to light memorize | stored in the temporary storage part 13 by step S14, and is illuminated. It memorize | stores in the table 12b (step S17), and complete | finishes a process. For example, when the pillar illumination lamp 24 is selected as a control object on the control object selection screen and gradation A is selected on the lighting pattern selection screen, the control unit 11 uses the illumination lamp table 12b illustrated in FIG. Store in the storage unit 12.

  When the interior light control device 1 performs the above processing, the user can control the control target to be turned on according to the operation speed and the operation amount with respect to the brake via the setting screen described with reference to FIGS. It is possible to select a lighting pattern to be lit on the control target.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the interior light control device 1 when the brake is operated. The control part 11 determines whether it is in the communication timing which should communicate with brake ECU3 (step S21). For example, the control unit 11 is configured to issue a command to the communication unit 14 so as to communicate with the brake ECU 3 every predetermined time, and is in a communication timing to communicate with the brake ECU 3 every time the predetermined time elapses. Is determined. The predetermined time is, for example, 0.1 seconds. If it is determined that the communication timing is not reached (S21: NO), the control unit 11 waits until the communication timing is reached.

  When it determines with it being in communication timing (S21: YES), the control part 11 acquires the operation speed and operation amount with respect to a brake from brake ECU3 (step S22). In addition, the control part 11 functions as an acquisition part of this invention by running the control program 12a in step S22.

  Next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the operation speed or the operation amount for the acquired brake is greater than 0 (step S23). Here, the operation speed or operation amount with respect to the brake being 0 represents that the brake is not operated by the driver, that is, the brake is not operated. If it is determined that the operation speed or the operation amount is not greater than 0 (S23: NO), the control unit 11 returns the process to step S21.

  When it determines with operation speed or operation amount being larger than 0 (S23: YES), the control part 11 determines the control object which should control lighting from the illumination lamp 2 (step S24). Specifically, the control part 11 determines the lighting location in which the lighting pattern is matched and memorize | stored as a control object with reference to the electrical lamp table 12b. For example, in the electric lamp table 12b of FIG. 3, the control part 11 determines the pillar electric lamp 24 as a control object.

  Subsequently, the control part 11 determines the lighting mode which should control lighting of the control object determined by step S24 (step S25). Specifically, the control unit 11 determines based on the illumination lamp table 12b, the lighting pattern 12c, and the operation speed and the operation amount for the brake acquired in step S22. For example, when the operation speed for the brake acquired by the control unit 11 in step S22 is fast and the operation amount is large, in “gradation A” stored in the illumination lamp table 12b, the lighting mode is a red lighting color. Is determined.

  Thereafter, the control unit 11 performs lighting control of the control target determined in step S24 so that the lighting mode determined in step S25 is obtained (step S26). Next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not an end operation has been received via the operation panel 6 (step S27). The end operation is an operation for the control unit 11 to end the process of controlling the lighting of the illumination lamp 2 according to the driver's brake operation. For example, the driver performs the operation via the operation panel 6. input.

  When it is determined that the end operation has not been received (S27: NO), the control unit 11 returns the process to step S21, and when it is determined that the end operation has been received (S27: YES), the control unit 11 ends the process. .

  With the above configuration and processing, the interior lamp control device 1 can control the lighting of the electric lamp 2 so that the lighting state is different from the brake ECU 3 according to the operation speed and the operation amount with respect to the brake. Therefore, it is possible to easily notify the passenger of the vehicle C of the degree of brake operation by the driver.

(Embodiment 2)
In the second embodiment, an example in which the interior lamp control device 1 further controls the electric lamp 2 according to the traveling speed of the vehicle C will be described. Since the other configurations and operations except the configurations and operations described below are the same as those in the first embodiment, detailed description on the same configurations and descriptions of the operations and effects are omitted for the sake of brevity.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing each configuration of the interior light control system in the second embodiment. A vehicle speed sensor 7 is connected to the brake ECU 3 in the second embodiment. The vehicle speed sensor 7 detects the vehicle speed of the vehicle C and outputs information on the detected vehicle speed to the brake ECU 3.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the interior light control device 1 when the brake is operated. Step S31, step S33, and step S35 to step S38 are the same as the process from step S21, step S23, and step S24 to step S27 in FIG.

  When it determines with it being a communication timing in step S31 (S31: YES), the control part 11 acquires the operation speed and operation amount with respect to a brake, and a vehicle speed from brake ECU3 (step S32), and advances a process to step S33. . In step S32, the control unit 11 functions as an acquisition unit of the present invention by executing the control program 12a when acquiring the operation speed and the operation amount for the brake from the brake ECU 3. Further, when acquiring the vehicle speed from the brake ECU 3 in step S32, the control unit 11 functions as the vehicle speed acquisition unit of the present invention by executing the control program 12a.

  Thereafter, when it is determined in step S33 that the operation speed or the operation amount is greater than 0 (S33: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the vehicle speed acquired in step S32 is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed (step S33). S34). The predetermined speed is, for example, 5 km / h. When it determines with it not being beyond a predetermined speed (S34: NO), the control part 11 returns a process to step S31. On the other hand, when it determines with it being beyond a predetermined speed (S34: YES), the control part 11 advances a process after step S35.

  With the configuration and processing described above, the interior lamp control device 1 can control the lighting of the illumination lamp 2 when the vehicle speed acquired from the brake ECU 3 is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed. Therefore, when it is not necessary to inform the passenger of the vehicle C of the degree of brake operation by the driver, it is possible to prevent unnecessary lighting of the interior lamp.

  In the second embodiment, it has been described that the control unit 11 acquires the vehicle speed of the vehicle C detected by the vehicle speed sensor 7, but for example, a wheel speed sensor that detects the rotational speed of the wheel of the vehicle C is provided. The vehicle speed of the vehicle C may be acquired based on the detected value.

  Moreover, in Embodiment 2, although the control part 11 demonstrated lighting control of the illumination lamp 2 used as a control object, when it determines with a vehicle speed being more than predetermined speed, it was further set to the said vehicle speed. Accordingly, the lighting mode in the lighting pattern may be changed. At this time, the lighting pattern 12c is realized by storing a lighting mode that changes the mode according to the vehicle speed. For example, the lighting mode is such that the lighting color of the lighting lamp 2 changes stepwise according to the operation speed and the amount of operation of the brake, and the timing of turning on and off within a predetermined time according to the vehicle speed is stepped. It is an aspect which changes automatically.

  Moreover, in Embodiment 1 and 2, although demonstrated that the control part 11 controlled the illumination lamp 2 comprised for electric decorations based on the operation speed and operation amount with respect to a brake, If there is, it does not have to be for electrical decoration. Moreover, the said interior lamp may be plural or single.

  Moreover, in Embodiment 1 and 2, although demonstrated that the control part 11 controlled the electrical decoration lamp 2 based on both the operation speed and operation amount with respect to a brake, either the said operation speed or the operation amount was demonstrated. You may control the electrical lamp 2 based on one side.

  In the first and second embodiments, the lighting mode stored in the lighting pattern 12c is described as a mode in which the hue changes stepwise, or the timing of turning on and off in a predetermined time changes stepwise. However, it may be other than that. For example, the lighting mode may be a mode in which both the hue and timing change stepwise, or a mode in which the shade of the lighting color changes stepwise. For example, the lighting mode may be a mode in which the brightness of the electric lamp 2 changes stepwise.

  Moreover, in Embodiment 1 and 2, although demonstrated that the control part 11 controlled lighting of the pillar illumination lamp 24 according to the operation speed and operation amount with respect to a brake, in addition to the control part 11, The lighting of the electric lamp 2 may be controlled by the control unit 11. At this time, the control unit 11 accepts selection of a plurality of control objects on the control object selection screen displayed on the display unit of the operation panel 6, and the illumination lamp table 12b together with the lighting pattern received via the lighting pattern selection screen. To remember. At this time, the lighting pattern may be different or the same for each control target.

  In Embodiments 1 and 2, it has been described that the lighting pattern 12c is stored in advance. However, an input of the lighting pattern 12c may be received via the operation panel 6 or the like.

  Furthermore, it should be thought that embodiment disclosed this time is an illustration and restrictive at no points. The scope of the present invention is defined not by the above-mentioned meaning but by the scope of claims for patent, and is intended to include all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the scope of claims for patent.
