Apparatus and method for controlling a vehicle using electromyographic signal

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle using an electromyographic signal. The apparatus comprises an electromyographic signal measuring part, an electromyographic signal processing part, an electromyographic signal combining part and a control part. The electromyographic signal measuring part measures electromyographic signals of a left / right front arm. The electromyographic signal processing part processes the electromyographic signals of the left / right front arm measured by the electromyographic signal measuring part. The electromyographic signal combining part combines the electromyographic signals of the left / right front arm processed by the electromyographic signal processing part. The control part judges actions of the left / right front arm according to the combination results of the electromyographic signals of the left / right front arm, and controls steering direction of a vehicle, braking and at least one kinds of functions of an Audio Video Navigation (AVN) device arranged on a vehicle according to the actions of the left / right front arm obtained through judgment. According to the invention, by use of the apparatus, steering of the vehicle, braking and multimedia functions of the vehicle can be controlled according to intentions of a driver.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle control device and method using myoelectric signals, in particular to a method for controlling the steering, braking and multimedia functions of a vehicle according to the driver's intention by measuring and processing the myoelectric signals generated according to the movement of the forearm A vehicle control device and method using myoelectric signals. Background technique [0002] The steering system is generally a device used by the driver to change the direction of the vehicle arbitrarily. It is composed of a steering wheel, a steering shaft, etc., and transmits the steering force of the driver to the operating mechanism of the gear device, thereby increasing the rotational force while changing the direction of the steering force. It is composed of a gear device that transmits the movement of the gear device to the front wheel and accurately supports the relative positions of the left and right wheels. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

But because the system of above-mentioned background technology and so on is because of the position that obtains myoelectric signal extensively, so signal distinction is fuzzy, and the method for processing and calculating and measuring the signal that obtains for control is not clear, and the method for controlling vehicle is also not diverse enough, there is no It is too vague to disclose its method clearly, so it is impossible to determine whether it can control the actual vehicle.
