[0091] In order to further illustrate the sun visor assembly and the control method, the control device and the vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following will make a detailed description in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sun visor assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a transparent panel 10, an image acquisition module 20, a detection module and a control module 30, wherein,

[0093] The transparent panel 10 is configured to shield the light rays passing through the transparent panel 10 and shooting towards a human eye 40, and the light transmittance of the transparent panel 10 is adjustable;

[0094] The image acquisition module 20 is located on the side of the transparent panel 10 away from the human eye 40, and is used to acquire image information of the transparent panel 10 and the human eye 40;

[0095] The control module 30 is used to determine target position information of a gaze point of the human eye 40 on the transparent panel 10 and determine a target control area on the transparent panel 10 corresponding to the target position information according to the image information;

[0096] The detection module is used to detect optical information corresponding to the light rays passing through the target control area and shooting towards the human eye 40.

[0097] The control module 30 is further configured to adjust the light transmittance of the transparent panel 10 at the target control area according to the optical information, so that the optical information is within a preset range.

[0098] Specifically, the specific type of the transparent panel 10 is various, and the transparent panel 10 is exemplarily selected as a smart light-adjusting glass panel. The smart light-adjusting glass has the advantage of high transmittance, and the transparent panel 10 made of the smart light-adjusting glass solves the technical problems of opacity or low transmittance of ordinary sunshields or transparent display sunshields. The transparent panel 10 exemplarily includes a liquid crystal panel. The light transmittance of the transparent panel 10 is adjustable, and the transparent panel 10 is exemplarily capable of being divided into a plurality of control areas, each of which includes a first electrode and a second electrode arranged oppositely, and a liquid crystal layer between the first electrode and the second electrode; by controlling the driving signal transmitted to the first electrode and the second electrode, the liquid crystal can be controlled to deflect correspondingly, thereby changing the light transmittance of the corresponding control area.

[0099] The specific structure of the image acquisition module 20 is various, and the image acquisition module 20 exemplarily includes a camera. The image acquisition module 20 can acquire image information of the transparent panel 10 and the human eye 40 in real time, and can acquire the eyeball action characteristics of the human eye 40 by tracking the eyeball. The transparent panel 10 is located between the image acquisition module 20 and the human eye 40, i.e. the image acquisition module 20 is located on the side of the transparent panel 10 away from the human eye 40. Exemplarily, when the sunshade assembly is applied to a vehicle, the image acquisition module 20 can be located between the transparent panel 10 and the windshield of the vehicle. It is worth noting that the setting position of the image acquisition module 20 needs to meet the condition that the image acquisition module 20 can detect the transparent panel 10 and the human eye 40. Since the initial state of the transparent panel 10 is transparent, reasonable adjustment of the installation position of the image acquisition module 20 can meet the above condition.

[0100] Exemplarily, the control module 30 is arranged at the edge of the transparent panel 10, and at least part of the control module 30 can also be integrated on the transparent panel 10. The control module 30 can acquire the angle information of the line of sight of the human eye 40 according to the image information, so as to determine the target position information of the gaze point of the human eye 40 on the transparent panel 10. Exemplarily, the target position information includes coordinate information.

[0101] The transparent panel 10 has a corresponding coordinate information range for each control area when divided into multiple control areas. If the target position information is located in the coordinate information range of a control area, then the control area is the target control area corresponding to the target position information. It is worth noting that the target position information can correspond to one or more control areas.

[0102] The detection module can detect the corresponding optical information when the light passes through the target control area and is directed to the human eye 40. For example, the optical information includes brightness information or illumination intensity information.

[0103] The control module 30 can obtain the optical information from the detection module, or the detection module can transmit the optical information to the control module 30 after detecting the optical information. Based on the optical information, the control module 30 adjusts the light transmission degree of the target control area, so that the value corresponding to the optical information can be within a predetermined range.

[0104] The above light shielding plate assembly includes the following control process when actually applied:

[0105] The image acquisition module 20 obtains image information of the transparent panel 10 and the human eye 40. The control module 30 determines the target position information of the gaze point of the human eye 40 on the transparent panel 10 according to the image information, and determines the target control area on the transparent panel 10 corresponding to the target position information. The detection module detects the corresponding optical information when the light passes through the target control area and is directed to the human eye 40. The control module 30 also adjusts the light transmission degree of the transparent panel 10 in the target control area according to the optical information, so that the optical information is within a predetermined range.

[0106] It is worth noting that the above light shielding plate assembly can be in real-time working state when actually applied. The image acquisition module 20 can acquire image information in real time, the control module 30 can determine the target control area in real time, the detection module can detect optical information in real time, and the control module 30 can adjust the light transmission degree of the target control area in real time according to the optical information obtained in real time.

[0107] According to the specific structure and actual application mode of the light-shielding plate assembly provided in the above embodiment, in the light-shielding plate assembly provided in the embodiment, the image acquisition module 20 acquires image information of the transparent panel 10 and the human eye 40; the control module 30 can determine target position information of a fixation point of the human eye 40 on the transparent panel 10 and determine a target control area on the transparent panel 10 corresponding to the target position information according to the image information; the detection module can detect corresponding optical information when light passes through the target control area and is incident on the human eye 40; and the control module 30 can also adjust the light transmission degree of the transparent panel 10 in the target control area according to the optical information, so that the optical information is within a preset range. Therefore, in the light-shielding plate assembly provided in the embodiment, when strong light passes through the target control area and is incident on the human eye 40, the light transmission rate of the target control area can be controlled to reduce the light irradiation brightness received by the human eye 40, thereby avoiding the dizziness problem and the visual field blind area problem caused by the strong light irradiation on the human eye 40. Moreover, the light-shielding plate assembly provided in the embodiment can automatically adjust the corresponding target control area of the transparent panel 10 to change color according to the position of the incident light reaching the human eye 40, and ensure that other areas do not change color, thereby realizing the function of automatically adjusting the color change of the target control area in real time according to the light condition while ensuring the visual field.

[0108] The light-shielding plate assembly provided in the embodiment combines the technical means of multi-area dimming, achieves the technical effect of automatically dimming different areas of the transparent panel 10, and solves the technical problem of dizziness of the human eye 40 caused by direct sunlight. When the light-shielding plate assembly provided in the embodiment is applied to a car, the visual dizziness problem of the human eye 40 caused by direct sunlight during driving can be solved, and the problem of darkening of the outside scene and deterioration of the visual field can be avoided.

[0109] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 9 in some embodiments, the image acquisition module 20 is specifically used for:

[0110] acquiring a first image including only the transparent panel 10 and a second image including the transparent panel 10 and the human eye 40;

[0111] As shown in Figure 3 the control module 30 includes a control unit 301, which is used for: processing the first image to obtain a group of values corresponding to each pixel in the first image, forming a first value matrix corresponding to the first image, and establishing a correspondence table between the first value matrix and the coordinate position information of the transparent panel 10;

[0112] As shown in Figure 4The second image is processed to obtain a set of numerical values corresponding to each pixel in the second image, forming a second numerical value matrix corresponding to the second image.

[0113] The first numerical value matrix and the second numerical value matrix are compared to determine a target numerical value in the first numerical value matrix that is different from the second numerical value matrix, and the position information corresponding to the target numerical value in the relationship table is determined as the target position information.

[0114] The control unit 301 is further configured to:

[0115] According to the distance between the human eye 40 and the transparent panel 10, and the field of view of the human eye 40, the area value of the control region to be divided by the transparent panel 10 is determined.

[0116] According to the area value, the transparent panel 10 is divided into a plurality of control regions.

[0117] The control region corresponding to the target position information in the plurality of control regions is determined as the target control region.

[0118] Specifically, the image acquisition module 20 can acquire a first image including only the transparent panel 10, and a second image including the transparent panel 10 and the human eye 40, and transmit the first image and the second image to the control unit 301. For example, the transparent panel 10 and the human eye 40 in the second image overlap together. It is worth noting that the camera obtains the eye movement feature, and the algorithm and implementation method are mature technology, which will not be described here.

[0119] The control module 30 includes a control unit 301, which is exemplarily composed of an MCU (English: Microcontroller Unit; Chinese: Microcontroller Unit 301) control system, an MPU (English: Microprocessor Unit; Chinese: Microprocessor) control system, or an FPGA (English: Field Programmable Gate Array; Chinese: Integrated Circuit) control system, etc.

[0120] The control unit 301 processes the first image, specifically including: using a segmented image method and an image recognition algorithm to obtain a set of numerical values corresponding to each pixel in the first image, forming a first numerical value matrix corresponding to the first image. For example, the numerical value matrix single point pixel is 4bit. The control unit 301 pre-stores the size characteristics of the transparent panel 10, and based on the size characteristics, the control unit 301 can establish a corresponding relationship table between the first numerical value matrix and the coordinate position information of the transparent panel 10.

[0121] The control unit 301 processes the second image, specifically including: using an image segmentation method and an image recognition algorithm to obtain a set of values ​​corresponding to each pixel in the second image, and forming a second value matrix corresponding to the second image.

[0122] The control unit 301 compares the first numerical matrix with the second numerical matrix and determines the target numerical value in the first numerical matrix that is different from that in the second numerical matrix. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bold values ​​in the second value matrix are different from the values ​​at the corresponding positions in the first value matrix. After determining the target value, the position information corresponding to the target value can be further determined from the relationship table as the target position information.

[0123] The control unit 301 is further configured to determine the area value of the control region to be divided on the transparent panel 10 based on the distance between the human eye 40 and the transparent panel 10 and the field of view of the human eye 40 (or the resolution of the human eye 40) pre-stored in the system; and then divide the transparent panel 10 into a plurality of control regions according to the area value.

[0124] For example, a rectangular coordinate system is established with the center of the transparent panel 10 as the coordinate center. Figure 5 As shown, assuming that the center of the transparent panel 10 is the origin, the viewpoint of the human eye 40 on the transparent panel 10 can be expressed using rectangular coordinates or polar coordinates. For example, the coordinate range of the transparent panel 10 obtained by the image acquisition module 20 is the horizontal coordinate: (-A, A), the vertical coordinate: (-B, B); Figure 5 The black dot in the middle is the viewpoint, and its coordinates are (x, y).

[0125] The multiple control areas all correspond to a certain coordinate range. According to the target position information and the coordinate ranges corresponding to the control areas, the control area corresponding to the target position information among the multiple control areas can be determined, and this control area is the target control area.

[0126] In the sunshade assembly provided in the above embodiment, the control unit 301 can process the first image and the second image captured by the image acquisition module 20 to determine a first numerical matrix corresponding to the first image and a second numerical matrix corresponding to the second image; and by comparing the first numerical matrix and the second numerical matrix, the target position information can be determined from the determined relationship table. The control unit 301 can also divide the transparent panel 10 into multiple control areas and determine the control area corresponding to the target position information among the multiple control areas as the target control area, thereby determining that the gaze point of the human eye 40 is located on the target control area on the transparent panel 10.

[0127] As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the transparent panel 10 is divided into a plurality of control areas; the detection module includes a plurality of light sensing units corresponding to the plurality of control areas one by one; Figures 6-8 The target light sensing unit in the target control area is configured to detect the light intensity information formed by the light passing through the target control area and shooting towards the human eye 40;

[0128] The control module 30 includes a control unit 301, which is configured to obtain the light intensity information and compare it with a preset light intensity threshold, and when the light intensity information is greater than the light intensity threshold, adjust the light transmission degree of the target control area to make the light intensity information of the target control area less than the light intensity threshold.

[0129] Specifically, the specific structure of the detection module is various, for example, the detection module includes a plurality of light sensing units corresponding to the plurality of control areas one by one. The light sensing unit includes a light sensing chip and a signal processing unit 50 coupled with the light sensing chip.

[0130] The light sensing chip is located in the corresponding control area. For example, the light sensing chip is located between the first electrode and the second electrode in the corresponding control area. For example, ITO technology can be used to form the light sensing chip on the glass base. The principle of manufacturing light sensing chip, i.e. process, has been very mature on silicon base, which can be directly borrowed on glass base, which will not be described here. The light sensing chip can detect the light intensity information formed by the light passing through the target control area and shooting towards the human eye 40.

[0131] For example, the signal processing unit 50 and the control unit 301 are integrated together. For example, the signal processing unit 50 includes an analog-to-digital conversion unit ADC and a filter unit RC, the analog-to-digital conversion unit is used to convert the light intensity information detected by the light sensing chip into a digital signal, and the light intensity information converted by analog-to-digital is transmitted to the filter unit, the filter unit filters the received light intensity information, and the control unit 301 obtains the filtered light intensity information.

[0132]

[0133] ​It is worth noting that when the photosensitive chip detects the light intensity information, there are two cases. In the first case, all photosensitive chips detect the light intensity information of the corresponding control area and transmit it to the corresponding signal processing unit. The control unit 301 obtains the light intensity information detected by the photosensitive unit corresponding to the target control area as needed. In the second case, all photosensitive chips perform detection functions according to the instruction signal provided by the control unit 301. That is, when the photosensitive chip receives the instruction signal from the control unit 301, it performs the detection function, and when the photosensitive chip does not receive the instruction signal from the control unit 301, it does not perform the detection function. In this case, after the control unit 301 determines the target control area, it only needs to send an instruction signal to the photosensitive chip corresponding to the target control area. The photosensitive chip corresponding to the target control area detects the light intensity information of the target control area based on the above instruction signal and transmits the light intensity information to the corresponding signal processing unit. The control unit 301 only needs to obtain the light intensity information processed by the signal processing unit.

[0134] As shown in Figure 7 The above light shielding assembly further includes a power module 70 for providing corresponding power signals to the control unit 301, the signal processing unit 50, and the transparent panel 10.

[0135] After obtaining the light intensity information, the control unit 301 can compare the light intensity information with a preset light intensity threshold. When the light intensity information is greater than the light intensity threshold, the light transmission degree of the target control area is adjusted to make the light intensity information of the target control area less than the light intensity threshold.

[0136] It should be noted that when the light intensity information is greater than the light intensity threshold, the light transmission degree of the target control area is adjusted. After adjustment, the photosensitive unit detects the light intensity information of the target control area again, and compares the light intensity information with the preset light intensity threshold. The above process is repeated until the light intensity information of the target control area is less than the light intensity threshold.

[0137] It is worth noting that when setting the light intensity threshold, it is necessary to satisfy that when the light intensity information is equal to or less than the light intensity threshold, the human eye 40 will not produce a dazzling or dizzy feeling.

[0138] The light shielding plate assembly provided by the above embodiment can detect the light intensity information of the target control area through the photosensitive unit, compare the light intensity information with the preset light intensity threshold, determine whether the light transmittance of the target control area needs to be adjusted, and automatically adjust the light of the target control area when the light intensity information is greater than the light intensity threshold, so that the human eye 40 can avoid direct strong light.

[0139] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the image acquisition module 20 is multiplexed as the detection module; the control module 30 includes a control unit 301; the image acquisition module 20 is specifically configured to: acquire the light brightness information at the human eye 40 when the light passes through the target control area and shoots at the human eye 40, and transmit the light brightness information to the control unit 301.

[0140] The control unit 301 is configured to: compare the light brightness information with a preset light brightness threshold, and adjust the light transmittance of the target control area when the light brightness information is greater than the light brightness threshold, so that the light brightness information at the human eye 40 is less than the light brightness threshold.

[0141] Specifically, the image acquisition module 20 is multiplexed as the detection module, which can acquire the light brightness information at the human eye 40 when the light passes through the target control area and shoots at the human eye 40, and transmit the light brightness information to the control unit 301.

[0142] The control unit 301 can compare the light brightness information with a preset light brightness threshold, and adjust the light transmittance of the target control area when the light brightness information is greater than the light brightness threshold, so that the light brightness information at the human eye 40 is less than the light brightness threshold.

[0143] It should be noted that when the light brightness information is greater than the light brightness threshold, the light transmittance of the target control area is adjusted, and after the adjustment, the light brightness information at the human eye 40 when the light passes through the target control area and shoots at the human eye 40 is acquired again through the image acquisition module 20. The light brightness information is compared with the preset light brightness threshold again, and the above process is continuously cycled until the light brightness information at the human eye 40 is less than the light brightness threshold.

[0144] It is worth noting that when setting the light brightness threshold, it needs to meet that when the light brightness information is equal to or less than the light brightness threshold, the human eye 40 will not have a feeling of dazzling or dizziness.

[0145] The light-shielding plate assembly provided by the above embodiment does not need to internally dispose a photosensitive unit in the transparent panel 10, but only collects light brightness information at the human eye 40 through the image collection module 20, and determines whether the light transmittance of the target control area needs to be adjusted by comparing the light brightness information with a preset light brightness threshold value. When the light brightness information is greater than the light brightness threshold value, the light of the target control area is automatically adjusted, so as to achieve the effect of avoiding direct strong light of the human eye 40.

[0146] As shown in Figure 9 The light-shielding plate assembly further includes a power module 70 for providing corresponding power signals for the control unit 301 and the transparent panel 10.

[0147] As shown in Figure 11 In some embodiments, the transparent panel 10 is divided into a plurality of control areas, and the transparent panel 10 includes first electrodes and second electrodes in each control area; the control module 30 includes a control unit 301 and a plurality of processing units 302 connected to the control unit 301 respectively, and the processing units 302 correspond to the control areas one by one; and the processing units 302 are respectively coupled to the first electrodes and the second electrodes in the corresponding control areas.

[0148] The control unit 301 is configured to output a corresponding target control signal according to the optical information.

[0149] The target processing unit 302 corresponding to the target control area is configured to convert the target control signal into a first target driving signal and a second target driving signal, and transmit the first target driving signal to the first electrode in the target control area and the second target driving signal to the second electrode in the target control area, so as to adjust the light transmittance of the transparent panel 10 in the target control area and make the optical information within a preset range.

[0150] Specifically, the transparent panel 10 can be divided into a plurality of control areas, for example, the plurality of control areas include 16 areas to 32 areas.

[0151] The processing unit 302 can be of various types, for example, the processing unit 302 includes a digital-to-analog conversion unit DAC and a signal amplification unit OPA. The control unit 301 sends a control signal to the digital-to-analog conversion unit, the digital-to-analog conversion unit converts the received control signal into an analog signal, and further amplifies the analog signal through the signal amplification unit to generate a first driving signal and a second driving signal; the first driving signal is transmitted to the first electrode in the corresponding control area, and the second driving signal is transmitted to the second electrode in the corresponding control area.

[0152] Exemplarily, the processing unit 302 comprises a signal generator DDS and a signal amplification unit OPA. The control unit 301 sends a control signal to the signal generator, the signal generator generates corresponding two driving signals according to the received control signal, and further generates a first driving signal and a second driving signal after amplification through the signal amplification unit; the first driving signal is transmitted to the first electrode in the corresponding control area, and the second driving signal is transmitted to the second electrode in the corresponding control area.

[0153] Notably, the control unit 301 can output control signals to each processing unit 302 according to actual needs, so that each processing unit 302 can output corresponding driving signals to the first electrode and the second electrode in the corresponding control area according to the received control signal, so that each control area can have a light transmission degree that meets the actual needs.

[0154] The above-described light shielding assembly further comprises a power module 70, which exemplarily comprises a 27V power supply and a control system voltage domain. The 27V power supply is provided to the control system voltage domain, which generates a positive and negative 24V power supply provided to the signal amplification unit OPA, and also generates corresponding other power signals to the control unit 301.

[0155] In actual adjustment of the light transmission degree of the target control area of the transparent panel 10, the control unit 301 can output a corresponding target control signal according to the optical information, which is converted into a first target driving signal and a second target driving signal, so that the light transmission degree of the transparent panel 10 in the target control area is reduced, so that the optical information obtained again can be within a preset range.

[0156] The light shielding assembly provided by the above embodiment can realize independent adjustment of multiple control areas through the control unit 301 and the multiple processing units 302, so as to better control the light transmission degree of the transparent panel 10 in each area.

[0157] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 12 In some embodiments, the transparent panel 10 is divided into multiple control areas, and the transparent panel 10 comprises first electrodes and second electrodes in each control area; the control module 30 comprises a control unit 301, a first driving chip Source_IC:1 coupled to the control unit 301, and a second driving chip Source_IC:2 coupled to the control unit 301, the first driving chip is respectively coupled to the first electrode in each control area, and the second driving chip is respectively coupled to the second electrode in each control area;

[0160] Specifically, the transparent panel 10 can be divided into a plurality of control areas, and for example, 1024 driving channels are required for the plurality of control areas.

[0161] The control unit 301 is coupled to the first driving chip and the second driving chip respectively, and is configured to output a control signal to the first driving chip and the second driving chip. The first driving chip is coupled to the first electrode in each control area respectively, and is configured to output a first driving signal to the first electrode in each control area under the control of the received control signal. The second driving chip is coupled to the second electrode in each control area respectively, and is configured to output a second driving signal to the second electrode in each control area under the control of the received control signal.

[0162] It is worth noting that the first driving chip and the second driving chip can output corresponding driving signals to the first electrode and the second electrode in each control area according to actual needs, so that each control area can have a light transmission degree meeting actual needs.

[0163] In addition, the first driving chip and the second driving chip can be driving chips commonly used in the display field, which can realize the output of high-voltage square waves. By setting the control module 30 to include the first driving chip and the second driving chip, simultaneous output of positive and negative polarities can be realized, meeting the driving voltage requirements of the first electrode and the second electrode in the transparent panel 10.

[0164] In actual adjustment of the light transmission degree of the target control area of the transparent panel 10, the control unit 301 can output a corresponding target control signal according to the optical information; the first driving chip outputs a corresponding first target driving signal to the first electrode in the target control area under the control of the target control signal; and the second driving chip outputs a corresponding second target driving signal to the second electrode in the target control area under the control of the target control signal, so as to adjust the light transmission degree of the transparent panel 10 in the target control area and make the optical information within a preset range.

[0169] The second gamma chip is coupled with the second driving chip and is configured to adjust the amplitude of the second driving signal output by the second driving chip.

[0170] Specifically, the control module 30 includes the first gamma chip and the second gamma chip, which can adjust the output voltage amplitude of the gamma chip according to the control needs, thereby changing the voltage amplitude output by the driving chip, achieving the effect that the amplitude voltage is controllable at any time according to the dimming needs. The voltage amplitude output by the driving chip is adjusted by the first gamma chip and the second gamma chip, so that the light transmission degree of the light shielding plate changes better continuously.

[0171] The light shielding assembly further includes a power module 70. For example, the power module 70 includes a 27V power supply and a control system voltage domain. The 27V power supply is provided to the control system voltage domain, and the control system voltage domain generates corresponding power signals to the control unit 301 and the gamma chip.

[0172] The light shielding plate assembly provided by the above embodiment realizes the functions of satisfying the multi-channel dimming needs and being adjustable in polarity, amplitude, and frequency by adopting the driving mode of the double driving chips.

The voice module 60 can play content under the control of the control module 30. For example, in the initial state, the control module 30 can remind the driver of the sitting posture through the voice module 60, so that the image acquisition module 20 can acquire more accurate image information.

[0174] The embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle comprising the sun visor assembly provided in the above embodiment.

[0175] In the sun visor assembly provided in the above embodiment, when the strong light passes through the target control area and irradiates the human eye 40, the light irradiation brightness received at the human eye 40 can be reduced by controlling the light transmittance of the target control area, thereby avoiding the problems of dizziness and visual blind area caused by the strong light irradiating the human eye 40. Moreover, the sun visor assembly provided in the above embodiment can automatically adjust the corresponding target control area of the transparent panel 10 to change color according to the position of the incident light reaching the human eye 40, and ensure that other areas do not change color, thereby realizing the function of automatically adjusting the color change of the target control area in real time according to the light condition under the condition of ensuring the field of view.
