Abstract

A vehicle manipulating system using sound waves includes a friction pad, and a sound wave generation film that generates film sound waves when adhered to the friction pad and moved. A smartphone is configured to control devices in a vehicle using the sound waves generated by the sound wave generation film, in order to control various devices in the vehicle while driving.

Claims (12)

1. A vehicle manipulating system using sound waves, comprising:

a friction pad mounted inside a vehicle;

a sound wave generation film generating sound waves when the sound wave generation film is adhered to the friction pad and is moved by a driver;

a smartphone configured to control devices in the vehicle using the sound waves which are generated by the sound wave generation film;

wherein the sound wave generation film has a pattern carved thereon to generate the sound waves by friction with the friction pad;

wherein the sound wave generation film is attached on a back of the smartphone.

2. The vehicle manipulating system using sound waves according to claim 1 , wherein the friction pad is attached to a hand reach zone including a center console of the vehicle.

3. The vehicle manipulating system using sound waves according to claim 1 , wherein the smartphone includes:

a storage configured to store device information corresponding to each sound wave;

a microphone configured to receive a sound wave generated from outside;

a controller configured to determine a device corresponding to the sound wave received through the microphone based on the device information corresponding to each sound wave and then to generate a corresponding control signal; and

a communicator configured to transmit the control signal to a control system of the vehicle.
