The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0038] Figure 1 Shown is a front view of a trunk space arrangement device according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 The figure shows a trunk space arrangement device according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 Cross-sectional view of section AA.

[0039] In one embodiment, according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the trunk space layout device includes a monitoring component 100, a computing component (not shown) and a display component 200. It can be understood that the trunk 400 is composed of a trunk shell 410, and a trunk cavity 420 for placing objects is formed inside the trunk shell 410. The monitoring component 100 is arranged inside the trunk cavity 420 of the trunk 400. The monitoring component 100 is used to collect distribution information of objects in the trunk cavity 420, the computing component is used to calculate the space utilization of the trunk 400 based on the distribution information collected by the monitoring component 100, and the display component 200 receives and displays the space utilization of the trunk 400 to the user. The space utilization displayed by the display component 200 can evaluate the usage of the trunk and whether it can continue to place items to be placed. The space utilization displayed by the display component 200 can also be used to guide the completion of the trunk layout. It can be understood that the distribution information is data used to characterize the positional relationship and size relationship between objects and the trunk cavity. Specifically, the distribution information may be the specific location of the object in the trunk cavity, and the distribution information may also be the size information of the object.

[0040] Furthermore, the computing component communicates with the monitoring component 100 and the display component 200 via a network.

[0041] The aforementioned trunk space arrangement device employs a monitoring component within the trunk cavity. The monitoring component collects information about the distribution of objects within the trunk cavity, calculates the trunk space utilization rate based on this information, and displays this utilization rate to the user via a display component. This allows the user to directly determine the trunk's remaining capacity based on the volume of the trunk cavity. This allows the user to quickly assess the remaining unoccupied trunk volume without opening the trunk door, thereby quickly determining whether the trunk can accommodate further objects, simplifying the operation process.

[0042] Preferably, in one embodiment, the display assembly 200 is disposed on the vehicle housing (not shown). It will be appreciated that the vehicle housing includes the vehicle's hood, trunk housing, and doors. The display assembly 200 is disposed on the vehicle housing to facilitate the user's understanding of the trunk space utilization while outside the vehicle.

[0043] In another embodiment, the display assembly 200 is disposed on an internal structure of the vehicle (not shown). It will be appreciated that the internal structure of the vehicle includes the vehicle's instrument panel and seat backs. The display assembly 200 is disposed on the internal structure of the vehicle to facilitate the user's understanding of the trunk space utilization while inside the vehicle.

[0044] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the display component 200 is arranged on the trunk shell 410 of the trunk 400. When the user moves to the rear of the vehicle, the space utilization rate of the trunk 400 can be known through the display component 200 on the trunk shell 410 of the trunk 400, and then it can be quickly determined whether the objects to be placed can continue to be placed in the trunk, which simplifies the confirmation process, shortens the vehicle's stay time, and avoids traffic jams.

[0045] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the display assembly 200 is fixed to the trunk shell 410 via a bracket 300 .

[0046] Furthermore, in order to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle exterior, as Figure 2 As shown, the display assembly 200 is fixed to the middle position of the trunk shell 410 through the bracket 300.

[0047] In one embodiment, the display assembly 200 of the trunk space arrangement device is covered with a film that matches the color of the vehicle's exterior. When the display assembly 200 is not in use, the area surrounding the display assembly 200 maintains the same color as the vehicle's exterior, ensuring the vehicle's exterior looks aesthetically pleasing.

[0048] In one embodiment, the display assembly 200 of the trunk space arrangement device is covered with a film that matches the color of the trunk outer shell 410. When the display assembly 200 is not in use, the area where the display assembly 200 is located matches the color of the trunk outer shell 410, ensuring the aesthetics of the vehicle outer shell.

[0049] The above-mentioned trunk space arrangement device covers the display component with a film that is the same color as the vehicle shell, so that when the display component is not in operation, the color of the area where the display component is located is consistent with the color of the vehicle shell, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the vehicle shell.

[0050] In one embodiment, according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen, the monitoring component 100 includes a first monitor 110, a second monitor 120, and a third monitor 130. The first monitor 110 is used to collect first distribution information of objects in the trunk cavity 420 in a first direction, and the second monitor 120 is used to collect second distribution information of objects in the trunk cavity 420 in a second direction. The third monitor 130 is used to monitor third distribution information of objects in the trunk cavity 420 in a third direction. It will be understood that the first, second, and third directions are three different directions. The computing component receives the first, second, and third distribution information and calculates the utilization rate of the trunk cavity 420 based on the first, second, and third distribution information.

[0051] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first direction is the X-axis direction of the preset coordinate system; the second direction is the Y-axis direction of the preset coordinate system; and the third direction is the Z-axis direction of the preset coordinate system. In other words, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are directions extending from three axes of the same preset coordinate system. The origin of the preset coordinate system is located within the trunk cavity 420.

[0052] The computing component establishes three-dimensional distribution information of the objects within trunk cavity 420 based on the received first, second, and third distribution information. Based on the three-dimensional distribution information, the computing component calculates the actual volume of the objects within trunk cavity 420 in the current state. Furthermore, based on the actual volume of the objects and the actual volume of trunk cavity 420, the computing component calculates the utilization rate of trunk cavity 420, which is used as the trunk space utilization rate. It is understood that the three-dimensional distribution information may be a three-dimensional image file that represents the positional and dimensional relationship between the objects and the trunk cavity.

[0053] Furthermore, the computing component calculates the spatial volume of the objects based on the three-dimensional distribution information, and derives the actual utilization rate of trunk cavity 420 based on this spatial volume calculation. It will be understood that spatial volume refers to the volume actually occupied by the objects in the trunk, i.e., it includes the actual volume of the objects as well as any unusable space in trunk cavity 420 due to factors such as the stacking method or object structure. The computing component generates three-dimensional distribution information based on the distribution information, and then calculates the spatial volume of the objects based on the three-dimensional image. The actual utilization rate of trunk cavity 420 is then calculated based on the spatial volume of the objects and the actual volume of trunk cavity 420, and the actual utilization rate is used as the trunk space utilization rate.

[0054] In another embodiment, the monitoring component 100 may be a 3D scanner mounted within the trunk cavity. The trunk space layout device uses the 3D scanner to scan an object placed in the trunk cavity, creating a 3D model of the object. The volume of the object is then calculated based on the dimensions of the 3D model, thereby determining the trunk space utilization rate.

[0055] The trunk space layout device uses the first, second, and third monitors in the monitoring component to collect first, second, and third distribution information from three directions, respectively. Based on the first, second, and third distribution information, it generates three-dimensional distribution information of objects. The volume of the objects is calculated based on this three-dimensional distribution information, thereby determining the trunk space utilization rate. This trunk space layout device accurately constructs the three-dimensional distribution information of objects, improving the accuracy of the trunk space utilization rate calculated by the calculation component.

[0056] In one embodiment, the display component 200 is an organic light emitting diode display or a liquid crystal display.

[0057] In one embodiment, according to Figure 1 It can be seen that the trunk space arrangement device is further provided with an unlocking component 500 for locking and unlocking the display assembly 200.

[0058] In one embodiment, the unlocking component 500 is either a fingerprint unlocking element or a password unlocking element.

[0059] In one embodiment, the unlocking component 500 may also be an external camera. The trunk space arrangement device performs face recognition through the external camera to achieve locking and unlocking of the display assembly 200.

[0060] In the above-mentioned trunk space arrangement device, the unlocking component is provided to control the working state of the display assembly, flexibly switch the locked state and unlocked state of the display assembly, and improve the safety of the trunk during the use of the trunk space arrangement device.

[0061] In order to realize the intelligent use of the trunk, in one embodiment, the trunk space layout device also includes a simulation component (not shown), which is used to simulate the stacking method of objects that the trunk can continue to accommodate and the maximum volume that can continue to accommodate objects corresponding to the stacking method based on the distribution information.

[0062] Specifically, the simulation component generates three-dimensional distribution information of the objects based on the distribution information collected by the monitoring component 100. The stacking pattern of all objects within the trunk cavity 420 is then simulated based on the three-dimensional distribution information of the objects. Based on the stacking pattern, the maximum volume that can be accommodated in the trunk cavity 420 is calculated. It will be understood that the stacking pattern simulation can be a stacking pattern that minimizes the size of the objects along a predetermined direction after stacking, or a stacking pattern that minimizes the volume occupied by the objects in the trunk cavity.

[0063] Furthermore, the simulation component communicates with the monitoring component 100 and the display component 200 through a network.

[0064] Furthermore, to rationally utilize the trunk space, the simulation component can quickly provide an adjustment method for the stacking method of objects in the trunk cavity 420 based on the stacking method selected by the user, simplifying the user's adjustment steps for adjusting existing objects. The adjustment method includes the order and angle of placement of the objects.

[0065] The above-mentioned trunk space layout device is provided with a simulation component, which simulates different stacking methods of existing objects in the trunk cavity and the maximum volume of objects that the trunk cavity can continue to accommodate under different stacking methods, thereby meeting the different needs of users and improving the user experience.

[0066] A trunk space arrangement method is provided, which is based on any one of the above-mentioned trunk space arrangement devices to arrange the trunk space, comprising the following steps: Figure 3 As shown:

[0067] Step S202 : The computing component receives the distribution information of the objects in the trunk cavity 420 collected by the monitoring component 100 .

[0068] Specifically, distribution information refers to the size and positional relationship between an object in trunk cavity 420 and trunk cavity 420. The distribution information includes the coordinates of the object within trunk cavity 420 and the object's size. If the monitoring component is a monitor, the distribution information is a picture or image captured by the monitor. If the monitoring component is a 3D scanner, the distribution information is a curved surface scanned by the 3D scanner that represents the object's external contour.

[0069] In step S204 , the calculation component calculates the space utilization rate of the trunk 400 according to the distribution information image.

[0070] The computing component establishes three-dimensional distribution information of the objects within trunk cavity 420 based on the received first, second, and third distribution information. Based on the three-dimensional distribution information, the computing component calculates the volume of the objects within trunk cavity 420 in the current state. Furthermore, based on the volume of the objects and the actual volume of trunk cavity 420, the computing component calculates the utilization rate of trunk cavity 420, which is used as the trunk space utilization rate. It is understood that the three-dimensional distribution information may be a three-dimensional image file that represents the positional and dimensional relationship between the objects and the trunk cavity.

[0071] Furthermore, the computing component receives the distribution information of the objects in the trunk cavity 420 collected by the monitoring component 100, and calculates the actual utilization rate of the trunk 400 based on the distribution information. It is understandable that the spatial volume refers to the volume actually occupied by the objects in the trunk, that is, the spatial volume includes the actual volume of the objects and the space in the trunk cavity 420 that cannot be further used due to factors such as the stacking method or the structure of the objects. Specifically, the computing component generates three-dimensional distribution information based on the distribution information, and then calculates the spatial volume of the objects based on the three-dimensional image file. Then, the actual utilization rate of the trunk cavity 420 is calculated based on the spatial volume of the objects and the actual volume of the trunk cavity 420, and the actual utilization rate is used as the space utilization rate of the trunk.

[0072] In step S206 , the calculation component feeds back the space utilization of the trunk 400 to the display component 200 , and the display component 200 displays the space utilization.

[0073] In the above trunk space layout method, the calculation component receives the distribution information collected by the monitoring component, calculates the trunk space utilization rate based on the distribution information, and then feeds the space utilization rate back to the display component for display. This method can directly determine the volume of the trunk that can still accommodate objects based on the space utilization rate and the volume of the trunk cavity without opening the trunk door, thereby quickly determining whether further objects can be placed, simplifying the operation process.

[0074] In order to improve the intelligence and rationality of the trunk space layout, in one embodiment, after the calculation component feeds back the space utilization to the display component and displays it through the display component, the following steps are also included: Figure 3 As shown:

[0075] In step S208 , the simulation component simulates the stacking method of the objects that the trunk cavity 420 can continue to accommodate and the maximum volume of the objects that can continue to be accommodated corresponding to the stacking method based on the distribution information.

[0076] In step S210 , the simulation component feeds back the stacking mode and the maximum volume to the display component 200 , and the display component 200 displays the stacking mode and the maximum volume.

[0077] In the above-mentioned trunk space layout method, the simulation component obtains the volume of objects in the trunk cavity based on the distribution information of the objects, and then simulates different stacking methods by adjusting the placement order and placement angle of the objects, so that space matching the objects to be placed is reserved in the trunk cavity, which simplifies the adjustment steps of the objects in the trunk, improves the adjustment efficiency of the objects in the trunk, and improves the efficiency of the trunk space layout.

[0078] Preferably, in order to ensure the accuracy of the distribution information of objects in the trunk collected by the monitoring component, in one embodiment, the monitoring component 100 collects the distribution information of objects in the trunk cavity 420 in real time.

[0079] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0080] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
