    BICYCLE NAVIGATION METHOD AND BIKE HANDLEBAR
    The present invention generally relates to a bicycle handlebar equipped with light sources and a method of guiding a cyclist by means of such a bicycle handlebars.
    It is known in the prior art for bicycles equipped with guiding means such as that described in WO2014205345 (A2). In return, this system has the particular disadvantage of not providing effective and intuitive guidance to the cyclist.
    An object of the present invention is to meet the drawbacks of the documents of the prior art mentioned above and in particular, first of all, to provide a bicycle handlebars which in particular allows a method of guiding an efficient cyclist and intuitive.
    For this purpose, a first aspect of the invention concerns a method of guiding a cyclist driving a bicycle equipped with a bicycle handlebar, comprising the steps of: - illuminating distinctly on each side of a central fixing zone of the handlebar bicycle on a bicycle stem a proximal light zone located on the side of the central fixation zone or a distal light zone, depending on the route to be followed. The method according to the invention proposes to manage distinctly (separately, therefore) the proximal and distal light zones on each side of the stem, to guide the cyclist. As a result, it is possible to provide illumination combinations between the light areas to effectively guide the cyclist. Of course, the invention is not limited to controlling twice two proximal and distal zones.
    In particular, if on each side of the central fixation zone the distal light zone and the proximal light zone are grouped together to form a single light surface per side, then this light surface has a proximal end (on the center side, the light zone). proximal) and a distal end (on the outer side of the handlebar, the distal light zone) and the method propose to illuminate distinctly the ends of each luminous surface, in combination for example with one end of the other luminous surface to increase the possibilities to transmit information to the cyclist. In other words, the two light surfaces arranged on either side of the handlebar stem each comprise one end of the side of the stem (the proximal end) and one end of the outer side of the handlebar (the distal end). ).
    Advantageously, at least each of the proximal light zones and / or each of the distal light zones is illuminated when the cyclist has to go straight to an intersection. The conjunction of illumination of the two central light zones makes it possible to indicate to the cyclist that he must go straight ahead. In other words, there is a bright balance on each side of the bike's stem, so the rider understands that you have to go straight. The method provides for illuminating the same bright areas on each side of the handlebar when not changing direction.
    Advantageously, at least one distal and / or proximal light zone is illuminated when the cyclist is to turn at an intersection on the side of the distal and / or proximal light zone in question.
    Advantageously, at least the distal zone and / or the proximal zone located on the opposite side to the side to which the cyclist is to turn are extinguished. According to the two sets above, we shift the center of gravity on the side where we must turn, which is very intuitive for the cyclist. In other words, there is a luminous imbalance, in favor of the side where one must go.
    In a preferred mode, it is intended to illuminate all light areas on the side to be rotated, and it is expected to turn off all light areas on the opposite side. Alternatively, one can illuminate from a first color (such as green) the side where to turn, and illuminate with a second color (such as red) the side where it should not turn.
    Advantageously, if the cyclist has to turn around, the method comprises: a step of simultaneously illuminating the two distal zones, then a step of simultaneously illuminating the two proximal zones, a step of extinguishing all the luminous zones; .
    Advantageously, at least the distal light zone is flashing when the cyclist is to turn towards the distal light zone in question. There is therefore a sequence of illumination specific to the approach of an intersection, or once arrived at the intersection itself. For example, one can start to illuminate continuously at 50m from the intersection in question, and make a blink when it is actually turn.
    Advantageously, the guidance method comprises an initial pairing step between the bicycle handlebars and a portable electronic navigation device. The handlebar is therefore a relay of the portable electronic device, such as a mobile phone, otherwise called smartphone. The navigation calculations and / or maps are managed by the phone, and the phone simply sends the control instructions to illuminate the bright areas according to the route to follow.
    Advantageously, the guiding method comprises a step of illuminating a light indicator and / or light sources with a particular sequence or color when the portable electronic device receives a notification or a message or a call intended for the cyclist.
    Advantageously, the guiding method is implemented by a geolocation unit and / or a computing unit on the handlebar.
    A second aspect of the invention relates to a bicycle handlebar, comprising a plurality of light sources arranged on either side of a central attachment area of the bicycle handlebar on a bicycle stem, and arranged to indicate a road to be followed by a user, characterized in that the bicycle handlebar comprises on each side of the central fixation zone light sources arranged to form a first light zone, such as a proximal light zone situated on the side of the lightning zone. central fixation of the bicycle handlebar and a second light zone, such as a distal light zone, arranged to be illuminated distinctly according to the road to follow. The bicycle handlebars according to the present implementation thus makes it possible to create illumination combinations between each of the proximal and / or distal light zones on each side of the bracket, which increases the guiding possibilities.
    Advantageously, the bicycle handlebar comprises at least one removable battery and at least one auxiliary battery arranged to power the light sources if said removable battery is removed from the handlebar. The removable battery can be the main source of energy, and the auxiliary battery can be provided to provide at least one power supply during a removable battery change.
    Advantageously, said at least one auxiliary battery is also removable.
    Advantageously, the bicycle handlebar comprises a connection interface at least at one of its ends, and the removable battery is arranged to mount on said connection interface. One can consider a mounting by clipping, or a bayonet type interface.
    Advantageously, the bicycle handlebars comprise wireless communication means. For example, a communication chip compliant with the Bluetooth standard can be envisaged.
    Advantageously, the bicycle handlebars comprise at least one lighthouse.
    Advantageously, the light sources are arranged to emit lights of different colors, depending on the route to follow, and / or event related to the navigation, such as approaching a danger zone, a zone limited to a particular speed for example.
    Advantageously, the light sources are electroluminescent diodes, covered by a translucent wall to form each of the light areas.
    Advantageously, the light sources are housed in holes formed in a tube forming the bicycle handlebar structure. So there is no protuberance.
    Advantageously, the translucent wall is clipped onto the tube forming the structure of the bicycle handlebar.
    A third aspect of the invention relates to a bicycle comprising a bicycle handlebar according to the second aspect of the invention. Other features and advantages of the present invention will appear more clearly on reading the following detailed description of an embodiment of the invention given by way of non-limiting example and illustrated by the appended drawings, in which: - Figure 1 shows a view of a bicycle handlebar according to the invention; - Figure 2 shows an example of navigation along a route to follow, with a schematic representation of the handlebar of Figure 1 seen from above at the intersections of the road followed.
    Figure 1 shows a bicycle handlebars according to the invention, with a central fixing area 30 arranged to be attached to a bicycle bracket for example.
    The bicycle handlebar also comprises two light surfaces 10 and 20 each arranged on one side of the central attachment area 30. The light surface 10 is to the left of the central attachment area, and the light surface 20 is to its right.
    Each luminous surface 10 and 20 comprises, for example, a cover made of translucent material and at least two light-emitting diodes under the translucent material cover, so as to be able to illuminate independently respectively on each light zone 10 and 20 a proximal end, and an end distal. In other words, the proximal ends form proximal light zones 10a and 20a near the center or middle of the handlebar, and the distal ends form distal light areas 10b and 20b close to the outside of the handlebar.
    The light-emitting diodes not visible in FIG. 1 can be housed in holes in the handlebar, and fixed with a resin, or else be held thereon by clipped supports (fitted elastically) on the handlebar. It is also conceivable to mount the light emitting diodes on a printed circuit board or an electronic card itself embedded or inserted in the handlebars.
    The bicycle handlebar further comprises an electronic control unit arranged to control the light-emitting diodes, and wireless communication means, a Bluetooth standard communication chip for example, connected to the control unit and arranged to establish a connection wirelessly with a portable electronic device such as a phone for example.
    The bicycle handlebars also include two removable batteries 40 which are removably attached to the ends of the bicycle handlebars, so that electric power can be supplied to an auxiliary battery permanently mounted on the bicycle handlebar (not visible on the bicycle handlebars). Figure 1), and also to other electrical or electronic components, such as the control unit, the wireless communication means, or other devices such as one or more headlights, a buzzer ...
    Preferably, one can consider inserting the removable batteries in the handlebar tube to protect them to the maximum, and their withdrawal does not shorten the useful length of the handlebars.
    The removable batteries 40 can be fixed to the bicycle handlebars by turn rotation with for example a bayonet, or by clipping (resilient interlocking), or by screwing, in order to establish an electrical contact with a connection interface connected to the circuit electric bicycle handlebar.
    The bicycle handlebars can thus establish a connection (wireless) with a mobile phone for example, which is provided with location means (a GPS), and navigation means for calculating a route to follow. With a specific program, it is then possible to control the light-emitting diodes of the bike handlebar from the phone to illuminate the light areas to indicate the route to be followed by the cyclist. The advantage of the wireless connection is that the master electronic device can remain in a cyclist's pocket, protected from the weather, while controlling the slave handlebars.
    In particular, it is possible to send to the control unit via the communication means one or more illumination sequences. For example, at an intersection A of Figure 2 where it is necessary to go straight, the two proximal light zones 10a and 20a are simultaneously illuminated at a time t1. As a result, the cyclist understands by seeing illuminated or lit the two parts closest to the gallows of the bike that should not turn at this intersection A.
    On the other hand, at the intersection B, the cyclist must turn to the right. All the light areas on the left side are off at time t2, and at least one of the proximal light zones 20a and distal light zones 20b is illuminated, to warn the cyclist of the imminence of a change of direction, by example 50m before arriving at the intersection B. It is also possible to illuminate the proximal light zone 20a. At time t3, that is to say when the cyclist arrives at the intersection B, at least the distal light zone 20b is flashingly illuminated, to indicate that it is the moment to change direction and you have to turn right. It is also possible to illuminate flashing the proximal light zone 20a.
    In addition, it is possible to make the light zones proximal 10a and 20a visible only to the cyclist, and the distal light zones 10b and 20b visible to the cyclist, but also to a user of the road facing the cyclist (a car driver coming in the opposite direction, for example) to warn the latter of the cyclist's intention to turn.
    It will be understood that various modifications and / or improvements obvious to those skilled in the art can be made to the various embodiments of the invention described in the present description without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims. In particular, reference is made to two light surfaces 10 and 20, but more light areas can be envisaged. In addition, reference is made to a wireless connection between the portable electronic device and the bicycle handlebar, but a wired connection can be envisaged, in the case where the electronic device is directly attached and connected to the handlebars.
