Benefits of technology

The invention aims to ensure good communication between a vehicle-mounted device and a wireless communication device in the vehicle's cabin when an antenna is attached to the device. The device includes a human-machine interface and a main body that is arranged in front of the interface, with the main body facing the direction of travel of the vehicle.

Problems solved by technology

However, there is a case in which an antenna is attached to the main body of the vehicle-mounted apparatus due to a variety of constraints.
In this case, since the human-machine interface is located between the antenna and the wireless communication device in the cabin, even if the conventional technology is applied, there is a possibility of poor quality in communication between the vehicle-mounted apparatus and the wireless communication device in the cabin because radio waves are blocked by the human-machine interface.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]With reference to the drawings, an embodiment of the invention, as an example, will be described below.

[0024]

[0025]A vehicle-mounted device 1 of this embodiment of the invention (hereinafter referred to simply as “vehicle-mounted device 1”) includes, for example, a navigation function, an audio function, a communication function for near field communication (e.g. Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication) with a wireless communication device in a cabin of a vehicle. As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle-mounted device 1 is mounted to a dashboard 2 provided in the cabin of the vehicle.

[0026]As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle-mounted device 1 of the embodiment includes a display 11, an example of a human-machine interface, and a main body 12 that is arranged in front (side in a traveling direction of the vehicle) of the display 11. The display 11 may be configured to include an operation portion, such as a touch panel switch and a hard switch, so as to receive a user operation.

Abstract

An antenna installation configuration includes: a vehicle-mounted apparatus that is mounted to a dashboard of a vehicle, the vehicle-mounted apparatus including a human-machine interface and a main body that is arranged in front of the human-machine interface, relative to a traveling direction of the vehicle; and an antenna attached to the main body, the antenna having a directivity directed toward an inside of a cabin of the vehicle and bypassing the human-machine interface.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0001]The invention relates to an installation configuration of an antenna that is attached to a vehicle-mounted apparatus that is mounted to a dashboard of a vehicle.Description of the Background Art[0002]Conventionally, various vehicle-mounted apparatuses, devices, and units capable of communication with a wireless communication device in a cabin of a vehicle have been developed. For example, a conventional vehicle-mounted apparatus (e.g., a car navigation apparatus) is configured to include a communication apparatus including an antenna having a directivity directed toward an inside of the cabin of the vehicle so as to ensure good quality of the communication with the wireless communication device in the cabin of the vehicle.[0003]Meanwhile, there exists a vehicle-mounted apparatus including a human-machine interface (e.g. a display for supplying information to a user, an operation device for receiving a user operation, etc.) and a...
