For health considerations, vehicle-mounted purifiers are currently installed in vehicles to purify the air inside the vehicle, thereby improving the air quality inside the vehicle and ensuring the health of the user.

[0003] A commonly used vehicle-mounted air purifier includes an ozone type vehicle-mounted air purifier. When working, the ozone type vehicle-mounted air purifier generates a certain concentration of ozone. In the small space inside the vehicle, the generated ozone needs at least one hour to automatically decompose into oxygen and carbon dioxide. If humans inhale too much ozone, it can cause respiratory infections or other diseases. In order to avoid inhaling ozone, the air purifier is usually turned on when the user is not in the vehicle, for example, the user turns on the vehicle-mounted air purifier when getting off the vehicle, or manually controls the vehicle-mounted purifier to start in advance.

[0051] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0052] The embodiments of the present application can analyze the driving habits of the user by means of big data collection and analysis, and determine the operation information of the vehicle-mounted air purifier in combination with the driving habits and the environmental information and vehicle information at that time. According to the operation information, the vehicle-mounted air purifier installed in the vehicle is controlled to automatically start and stop in advance before the vehicle starts, so as to ensure that the vehicle-mounted air purifier works when the user is not in the vehicle. If the vehicle-mounted air purifier is an ozone type purifier, a certain time is left before the vehicle starts to decompose ozone, so as to avoid the residual ozone and ensure the air health in the vehicle when the user gets in.

[0053] In a possible implementation scenario, referring to Figure 1 the communication framework diagram shown in the figure, the present embodiment can at least involve the communication of the vehicle, the user terminal and the server. Among them,

[0063] Emergency number setting.

[0064] Vehicle body state monitoring, such as start and stop state, door and window opening and closing state, fuel level and consumption state, engine working state, etc.

[0065] In addition to the above functions, the vehicle terminal of the present embodiment can also include the following functions, which are exemplarily described as follows:

[0066] Referring to Figure 2 , a step flowchart of an embodiment of a method for controlling the start of a vehicle-mounted air purifier is shown. The present embodiment can be applied to a vehicle and can specifically include the following steps:

[0067] Step 201: Obtain first specified feature information of the vehicle, wherein the first specified feature information includes start time of the vehicle and second specified feature information, and the start time includes date information.

[0068] In implementation, when a preset condition is triggered, the vehicle can acquire the first specified feature information detected by each module within the vehicle.

[0069] In one possible example, the preset condition may include when the vehicle's engine is started or when the vehicle's engine is turned off; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0070] For example, when the vehicle is started, the first specified characteristic information may include the vehicle's start time and the second specified characteristic information. When the vehicle is turned off, the first specified characteristic information may include the vehicle's turn-off time and the second specified characteristic information.

[0071] in,

[0072] The vehicle's start time can be the start time of the vehicle's engine. When the vehicle starts, this time information is included in the first specified feature information. For example, the start time can include date information, clock information, etc., where the date information can include year, month, and day; and the clock information can include hour, minute, and second information.

[0073] The second specified feature information may include, but is not limited to:

[0074] Vehicle location information, i.e., the current GPS location of the vehicle;

[0075] Vehicle identification number, such as the vehicle's VI (Vehicle Identification Number or Chassis Number);

[0076] The vehicle's engine shutdown time, i.e. the time when the vehicle's engine shuts off, is included in the first specified feature information when the vehicle is turned off.

[0077] Engine running time can be calculated based on the vehicle's start-up time and shutdown time mentioned above.

[0078] Vehicle voltage;

[0079] Vehicle mileage;

[0080] Vehicle interior and exterior temperatures;

[0081] Air quality data inside the vehicle, such as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and alcohol concentration;

[0082] User driving behavior data;

[0083] Vehicle vibration warning signal

[0084] Emergency distress signals, etc.

[0085] Step 202, record the date information in association with the first specified feature information.

[0086] In this step, after the vehicle obtains the first specified feature information, the date information can be stored in association with the first specified feature information in the local memory, so as to be used by the microprocessor (or the master chip) for subsequent data analysis.

[0087] Step 203, determine the first estimated start time of the vehicle on the next date according to the recorded start time of each date.

[0088] In this step, the vehicle can analyze the user's vehicle use habit according to the recorded start time of each date, to determine the vehicle use time of the user on the next date, i.e. the first estimated start time of the vehicle on the next date.

[0089] It should be noted that the unit of "next date" in the embodiment is not limited, which can be the next day, or each day in the next week.

[0090] In an embodiment, step 203 can include the following sub-steps:

[0091] Sub-step S11, divide the start time of each date into one or more preset time intervals.

[0092] In implementation, one date can be divided into one or more preset time intervals, for example, if one date is one day, one day can be divided into [3:00-10:30], [10:30-14:00], [14:00-17:00], [17:00-20:00], [20:00-24:00], [24:00-3:00]. Or, one day can also be divided into [0:00-12:00], [12:00-24:00] two time intervals.

[0093] Of course, the embodiment is not limited to the above division manner, and other division manners can be used as needed by those skilled in the art.

[0094] In the present example, each preset time interval has associated date configuration information for describing the condition of meeting the date of the current time interval. For example, one or more time intervals can be set for each day of the week, i.e., if the date configuration information is Monday, only the start time or the shutdown time of Monday can be recorded in the corresponding one or more preset time intervals; if the date configuration information is Tuesday, only the start time or the shutdown time of Tuesday can be recorded in the corresponding one or more preset time intervals, and so on. For another example, one or more time intervals can be set for working days (e.g., Monday to Friday) and rest days (e.g., Saturday and Sunday) respectively, i.e., if the date configuration information is a working day, only the start time or the shutdown time of the working day can be recorded in the corresponding one or more preset time intervals; if the date configuration information is a rest day, only the start time or the shutdown time of the rest day can be recorded in the corresponding one or more preset time intervals. Of course, in addition to the above division methods, other division methods can also be included, such as if the date configuration information is every day, the start time or the shutdown time of every day can be recorded in the one or more preset time intervals, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0095] In this step, for each recorded start time of a date, the corresponding one or more preset time intervals can be found according to the date, and then the time interval corresponding to the start time can be found from the found one or more preset time intervals, and the start time can be recorded in the found time interval, so as to complete the classification of the start time.

[0096] In sub-step S12, for each preset time interval, the first estimated start time of the preset time interval can be determined according to the start times in the preset time interval.

[0097] After the recorded start times are divided into the corresponding preset time intervals, for each preset time interval, a reference time in the time interval can be further determined as the first estimated start time according to the start times recorded in the time interval.

[0098] In one example, the average of the start times recorded in the time interval can be calculated as the first estimated start time of the time interval.

[0099] It should be noted that the number of first estimated start-up times in each date can be determined according to the number of preset time intervals of the date. For example, if there are two preset time intervals in a date, which are [3:00-10:30] and [17:00-20:00], respectively, the two preset time intervals have corresponding first preset start-up times, that is, there are two first preset start-up times in the date, which are one estimated start-up time in the morning and one estimated start-up time in the afternoon, such as the user driving to the company in the morning and driving home in the evening. In this case, the vehicle will start twice in a day.

[0100] As can be seen from the above implementation process, the more start-up times accumulated in the vehicle, the more accurate the first estimated start-up time calculated. When the accumulated data is not much, the date configuration information described above can be set to every day in a coarse granularity. When the data accumulates to a certain extent, the date configuration information can be divided in a finer granularity, such as setting to weekdays and weekends, and then setting to Monday to Sunday according to the accumulation degree.

[0101] In step 204, the estimated running time of the vehicle-mounted air purifier is determined according to the second specified feature information.

[0102] In this step, the estimated running time of the vehicle-mounted air purifier can be determined according to the second specified feature information.

[0103] In one implementation, a deep neural network model can be pre-trained, and the input of the neural network model can be the specified feature information, and the output can be the corresponding estimated running time. In this embodiment, the deep neural network model can run in the microprocessor of the vehicle, and the microprocessor can input the second specified feature information into the neural network model, and obtain the time length output by the model as the estimated running time of the vehicle-mounted air purifier. The second specified feature information input into the model can be one or a combination of the features described in step 201.

[0104] In other embodiments, step 204 can include the following sub-steps:

[0105] In sub-step S21, third specified feature information corresponding to the second specified feature information is obtained from a user terminal connected to the vehicle.

[0106] In one embodiment, before sub-step S21, the embodiment can further include the following steps:

[0107] When it is detected that the user terminal is within the preset range of the vehicle, the Bluetooth module of the vehicle is connected to the Bluetooth module of the user terminal.

[0108] In this embodiment, the vehicle can continuously detect signals around the vehicle through the distance detection module, and when a user terminal is detected within a preset range of the vehicle, the vehicle can connect with the user terminal through the Bluetooth module of the vehicle. In one example, the user terminal can send a Bluetooth request to the outside through the Bluetooth module, and when the user terminal moves into the preset range of the vehicle, the Bluetooth request is received by the vehicle and a response is made. When the response is a response of agreeing to connect, the user terminal can establish a Bluetooth connection with the Bluetooth module of the vehicle through the Bluetooth module.

[0109] When the Bluetooth connection between the vehicle and the user terminal is established, the embodiment can further include the following steps:

[0110] obtaining time information of the user terminal and vehicle-mounted purifier start information set by the user in the user terminal; synchronizing the time of the vehicle according to the time information; and synchronizing the settings related to the vehicle-mounted purifier in the vehicle according to the vehicle-mounted purifier start information.

[0111] In this embodiment, the user terminal can synchronize information with the vehicle, such as time synchronization or synchronization of other configuration information. In implementation, the user terminal can obtain correct Internet time, and then send the Internet time to the vehicle through Bluetooth, and the vehicle synchronizes the local time according to the Internet time to achieve time synchronization.

[0112] The synchronization of other configuration information, for example, can include the synchronization of vehicle-mounted purifier start information. The user terminal can obtain the configuration information configured by the user, and then send it to the vehicle. The vehicle synchronizes the corresponding configuration according to the configuration information.

[0113] In sub-step S21, the third specified feature information can be information obtained by the user terminal from the server. Specifically, after the user terminal establishes a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle, the user terminal can obtain the first specified feature information from the vehicle, and send the first specified feature information to the server through a wireless network (such as WIFI, 3G, 4G, etc.). After the server receives the first specified feature information, the server can obtain the corresponding third specified feature information according to the first specified feature information, and send the third specified feature information to the user terminal. The user terminal sends the third specified feature information to the vehicle.

[0114] In one example, if the second specified feature information is the location information of the vehicle, the third specified feature information can be the environmental information corresponding to the location information, such as the temperature, humidity, climate, etc. corresponding to the location. In implementation, the server can obtain the environmental information of the location from the Internet.

[0115] In another example, if the second specified feature information is a vehicle identification code of the vehicle, the third specified feature information can be vehicle feature information corresponding to the identification code, such as the brand, model, year of release, and use time of the vehicle.

[0116] In another example, if the second specified feature information is the engine-off time of the vehicle, the third specified feature information can be the corresponding engine-off duration, and the server can calculate the engine-off duration according to the real-time time and the engine-off time of the vehicle. In sub-step S22, the third feature information is looked up in a preset data table to obtain the estimated running duration corresponding to the third feature information.

[0117] In one implementation, the vehicle can obtain a preset data table established in advance, and query the corresponding third feature information in the data table, so as to determine the estimated running duration according to the query result, wherein the preset data table is used to record one or more third specified feature information and the corresponding estimated running duration.

[0118] In another implementation, the data table can include a first data table and a second data table, and when looking up, the third feature information can be first looked up in the first data table to obtain the air quality data corresponding to the third feature information, and then the air quality data is looked up in the second data table to obtain the corresponding estimated running duration.

[0119] For example, if the third feature information is environmental information corresponding to the location information of the vehicle, the estimated running duration corresponding to the environmental information can be looked up in a preset environmental information data table, or the air quality data corresponding to the environmental information is looked up to determine the environment in which bacteria breed, and then the estimated running duration corresponding to the air quality data is looked up from the air quality data table according to the air quality data. For example, if the current climate is the plum rain season, the estimated running duration of the vehicle-mounted air purifier can be set to be longer, or the vehicle-mounted air purifier can be opened one or two more times to kill bacteria; if the current season is dry weather in autumn and winter, the estimated running duration of the vehicle-mounted air purifier can be shortened to avoid too much static electricity generated by the long opening time of negative ions; if the current season has high humidity, the estimated running duration of the vehicle-mounted air purifier can be extended to make the negative ion opening time longer.

[0120] Of course, the environmental information described above can be information obtained from the user end, or air quality data in the vehicle obtained by the vehicle according to internal modules, or a combination of the two, and the present embodiment does not limit this.

[0121] For example, if the third feature information is vehicle feature information, the corresponding estimated running time can be found in a preset vehicle feature information data table, or the corresponding air quality data of the vehicle feature information can be found to determine the air quality inside the vehicle, and then the corresponding estimated running time can be found in the air quality data table according to the air quality data. For example, the data table can record the formaldehyde content and the estimated bacterial content of each brand, model, and year of the vehicle. The formaldehyde content of a new vehicle is the highest, and the older the vehicle, the more bacteria in the air conditioner port and the carpet. According to the table, the formaldehyde and bacterial content emitted by the interior and parts of the current vehicle can be estimated, and then the opening frequency and estimated running time of the vehicle-mounted air purifier can be further determined.

[0122] Of course, the vehicle feature information described above can be obtained from the user end or obtained by the vehicle from the information stored in itself according to the vehicle identification code, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0123] For example, if the third feature information is the engine-off time, the corresponding estimated running time can be found in a preset data table, or the corresponding air quality data of the engine-off time can be found to determine the air quality inside the vehicle, and then the corresponding estimated running time can be found in the air quality data table according to the air quality data. In one embodiment, if the engine-off time exceeds a preset engine-off time threshold, for example, the engine-off time after parking exceeds 24 hours, the process is stopped and the judgment of turning on the vehicle-mounted air purifier is no longer performed, thereby effectively avoiding the consumption of the battery power.

[0124] Of course, the engine-off time described above can be obtained from the user end or calculated by the vehicle according to the start time and the engine-off time, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0125] In another embodiment, if the estimated running time calculated in the above three or other multiple scenarios is not the same, the final estimated running time can be obtained by combining multiple different estimated running times, for example, the average of multiple estimated running times is taken as the final estimated running time.

[0126] In one embodiment, the third specified feature information can also include time adjustment information, which can be obtained by the server from the internet according to the position information of the vehicle to obtain the summer time or winter time information corresponding to the position.

[0127] The present embodiment can also include the following steps:

[0128] The first estimated start time is adjusted according to the time adjustment information.

[0129] In this embodiment, after the vehicle obtains the time adjustment information, the first estimated start time can be adjusted according to the time adjustment information. For example, when the summer time comes, the first estimated start time can be adjusted by one hour. In step 205, the second estimated start time of the vehicle-mounted air purifier on the next day is determined according to the estimated running time and the first estimated start time of the vehicle on the next day.

[0130] In this step, after the first estimated start time of the vehicle on the next day and the estimated running time of the vehicle-mounted air purifier are determined, the second estimated start time of the vehicle-mounted air purifier can be further determined, which is earlier than the first estimated start time, so as to ensure that the user uses the vehicle after the air purification treatment is performed on the vehicle.

[0131] In an example, the second estimated start time and the first estimated start time also have a specified time difference. For example, for an ozone type vehicle-mounted air purifier, a certain time (such as one hour or two hours, and the specific time value can be set according to experience) is reserved before the user starts the vehicle to decompose ozone.

[0132] In an embodiment, step 205 can include the following sub-steps:

[0133] The sum of the estimated running time and a preset default ozone decomposition time is calculated as a purification time, and the first estimated start time is subtracted by the purification time to obtain the second estimated start time.

[0134] Specifically, the sum of the estimated running time and a preset default ozone decomposition time is calculated as a total purification time, and the first estimated start time is subtracted by the purification time to obtain the second estimated start time. For example, assuming that the first estimated start time is 18:00, the estimated running time is 20 min, and the reserved time for ozone decomposition is 120 min, the second estimated start time is 15:40.

[0135] In step 206, the running of the vehicle-mounted air purifier is controlled according to the second estimated start time and the estimated running time.

[0136] In a specific implementation, the vehicle can store the first estimated start time, the second estimated start time, and the estimated running time in the memory of the vehicle, and then obtain the second estimated start time and the estimated running time of the vehicle-mounted air purifier by reading the memory. When the second estimated start time arrives, the vehicle-mounted air purifier is controlled to be turned on, and after the vehicle-mounted air purifier runs for the estimated running time, the vehicle-mounted air purifier is turned off.

[0137] In other embodiments, the vehicle can also determine whether the vehicle is out of power by monitoring the voltage of the vehicle, and when the power of the vehicle is lower than a certain threshold, the automatic starting of the air purifier is stopped.

[0138] In addition, when the user is close to the vehicle, the user can also control the vehicle to lower the window through the user terminal operation to release the residual ozone and other harmful gases in the vehicle, and ensure the air health in the vehicle after the user gets in.

[0139] In the embodiment, after the vehicle obtains the first specified feature information, the date information recorded in the first specified feature information is stored in association with the first specified feature information, and then the first estimated starting time of the vehicle on the next date is determined according to the recorded starting time of each date, and the estimated running time of the vehicle air purifier and the second estimated starting time are determined according to the second specified feature information in the first specified feature information, so as to control the automatic operation of the vehicle air purifier according to the estimated running time and the second estimated starting time. The whole process involves the starting time of the vehicle and the second specified feature information and other factors, which is helpful to improve the effect of starting the air purifier.

[0140] In addition, the second estimated starting time of the vehicle air purifier is earlier than the first estimated starting time of the vehicle, and the specified time difference between the second estimated starting time and the first estimated starting time makes the ozone generated by the air purifier have enough time to decompose, which further improves the air purification effect in the vehicle.
