I-iDW's iDrive iyisistimu ye-infotainment eyasungulwa ekuqaleni ngo-2001, futhi iye yahamba ngezinombolo eziningi zokuqala kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Njengezinhlelo eziningi ze-OEM infotainment, i-iDrive inikeza isikhombimsebenzisi esibonakalayo esikwazi ukulawula izinhlelo eziningi zemoto. Umsebenzi ngamunye ungafinyelelwa ngokusebenzisa ukusetshenziswa kwe-knob eyodwa kuphela, kodwa amamodeli kamva afaka nezinkinobho eziningi ezihleliwe.
Umlandeli we-iDrive u-BMW ConnectedDrive, owasungulwa ngo-2014. I-ConnectedDrive ihlanganisa ubuchwepheshe be-iDrive engxenyeni yayo, kodwa isuke kude nohlelo lokulawula i-knob ukuze kusebenze izilawuli zesikrini.
Ulwazi lweDrive System
Lapho i-iDrive isungulwe ekuqaleni, yaqala ohlelweni lwe-Windows CE lokusebenza. Izinguqulo zakamuva zisebenzisa i- Wind River VxWorks kunalokho.
I-VxWorks ikhokhiswa njengesistimu yokusebenza yesikhathi sangempela, futhi iklanyelwe ngokukhethekile ukusetshenziswa kwezinhlelo ezifakiwe njenge-iDrive. I-BMW inikeza izibuyekezo zesofthiwe ngezikhathi ezithile okumelwe zenziwe ngumnyango wesevisi yabathengisi.
Abanikazi bezimoto ezine-iDrive nabo bangavakashela isayithi lokusekela le-BMW ukulanda izibuyekezo ze-iDrive. Lezi zibuyekezo zingahle zilayishwe kudrayivu ye-USB futhi zifakwe nge-port ye-USB yemoto.
iDrive Control Knob
Ukuziqhenya okukhulu kwe-iDrive yukuthi sonke isimiso singalawulwa ngophawu olulodwa. Lokhu kuvumela umshayeli ukuba afinyelele ezinhlobonhlobo zezinhlelo zesibili ngaphandle kokubuka kude nomgwaqo noma ukugoqa izinkinobho.
Lapho i-iDrive ikhishwa okokuqala, abagxeki besistimu bathi banamaphuzu amaningi okufunda futhi babhekene ne-input lag. Lezi zinkinga zazinqunywa ngokusebenzisa inhlanganisela yezibuyekezo zesofthiwe nokuvuselelwa kabusha okusetshenziselwa izinguqulo zamuva zesistimu.
Kusukela ngonyaka wemodeli ka-2008, i-iDrive yayihlanganisa nezinkinobho eziningana ngaphezu kwesondo lokulawula. Lezi zinkinobho zisebenza njengezinqamuleli, kuyilapho i-knob yokulawula yayisetshenziselwa ukufinyelela kuwo wonke amasistimu wesibili emoto.
Inkinobho ngayinye kulezi zinguqulo ze-iDrive iphinde ilungiselelwe ukufinyelela umsebenzi othile, isikrini, noma ngisho nesiteshi somsakazo.
Ukulawulwa kwe-BMW Rotary
Iningi lezilawuli ohlelweni lwe-iDrive lenzelwe ukusizakala ngomkhonto wokulawula, okwenza kube lula ukuwahamba ngaphandle kokubheka kude nomgwaqo.
Ukwenza kube lula ukusebenziseka, ukuxhumana, ukuhamba kwe- GPS , ukuzijabulisa kanye nokulawula isimo sezulu ezindaweni zangaphambili ze-iDrive konke kwahlelwa kumqondisi wekhadidi.
Ngamamodeli angazange afake ukukhethwa kokuhamba, ukuboniswa komqapha wekhompiyutha ongaphakathi kunomthelela wesistimu yokuhamba lapho ushayela.
Uma ukufakwa kombhalo kuyadingeka, njengokufuna i-POI ohlelweni lokuhamba, izinhlamvu ziboniswa ekwakheni indandatho. Lokho kuvumela ukuthi izinhlamvu zikhethwe ngokushintshanisa futhi ngokuchofoza inkinobho.
I-iDrive Navigation Screen
Isibonisi se-iDrive esibuhlaza sikwazi ukubonisa ulwazi kusuka emithonjeni emibili ehlukene ngesikhathi esisodwa. Ingxenye encane yeskrini ibizwa ngokuthi iwindi lokusiza.
Ngesikhathi sokuhamba, iwindi lokusiza liyakwazi ukubonisa izikhombisi-ndlela noma ulwazi lwesikhashana, ngenkathi iwindi elikhulu libonisa umzila noma imephu yendawo.
Iwindi lensiza liyakwazi ukushintshela ukubonisa ulwazi lomzila uma umshayeli eveza olunye uhlelo, njengomsakazo noma ukulawula isimo sezulu, esikrinini esikhulu.
Ukusesha iDrive POI
Ezinguqulo ze-iDrive ezifaka uhlelo lokuzakhela ngaphakathi, i-point yokufunwa yendawo yokuthakazelisa (POI) nayo ifakiwe. Le database ihlanganisa izinombolo eziningi.
Izinguqulo zakudala zeDrive database ye-POI zidinga umshayeli ukuba afune isigaba ngasinye ngokwehlukana. Lokho kukhetha ukuklama kwakungatholakali, ngoba kwakudinga abashayeli ukuba baqaphele emgwaqweni ukuze bathole ukuthi isiphi isigaba sokufuna noma yiliphi iphuzu elithakazelisayo.
Izinguqulo zamuva ze-iDrive, futhi zibuyekezwe izinguqulo zangaphambilini, vumela umshayeli ukuba abuze yonke imininingwane ye-POI ngaphandle kokucacisa isigaba.
Uma uhlelo lwakho lwe-iDrive lunezinhlelo zokusebenza zokusesha okulinganiselwe, ungaxhumana nomnyango wezinsizakalo womthengisi wakho wendawo ukuze ubuze mayelana nokubuyekezwa kwesistimu. Kungase kwenzeke futhi ukulanda isibuyekezo futhi ukuyifaka ngokwakho nge-USB.
Izixwayiso zeDrive Traffic
Ngaphezu kokusebenza okuyisisekelo kokuhamba, iDrive nayo ikwazi ukukhipha izixwayiso zethrafikhi. Uma uhlelo lubeka inkinga yethrafikhi kumzila okhethiwe, luzokhipha isixwayiso ngakho umshayeli angathatha isenzo.
Lezi zixwayiso zikhombisa ukuthi kude kangakanani inkinga yethrafikhi nokuthi kungakanani isikhathi sokulibaziseka okufanele silindele. Uhlelo lwe-iDrive navigation lukwazi futhi ukubala ezinye izindlela, ezingafinyelelwa ngokukhetha inketho.
Ulwazi lweDrive Vehicle
Njengoba i-iDrive iklanyelwe njengesistimu ye-infotainment, ingabonisa nokuhlukahluka kolwazi olubalulekile mayelana nezinhlelo ezihlukahlukene eziyisisekelo nezesibili zemoto.
Isikrini sokwazisa imoto sikwazi ukudlulisela imininingwane kusuka ohlelweni lokuhlola lwebhodi, okwenza kube lula ukulandelela izinga lamafutha, izincomo zesevisi, nolunye ulwazi olubalulekile.
