[0032] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features of the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0033] In addition, the "rainfall" mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention should include snowfall, just as the vehicle wipers are used not only to sweep away rain water on the front window, but also to sweep away snow accumulated on the front window.

[0034] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a vehicle control method using a windshield wiper according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The method is applied to a vehicle terminal, wherein the vehicle terminal is, for example, a TBOX (Telematics box).

[0037] refer to Figure 1 , the vehicle control method using a windshield wiper may include the following steps:

[0038] Step S110, obtaining a wiper operating status signal.

[0039] Wherein, the wiper working state signal is used to show the corresponding relationship between the rainfall level and the wiper wiping frequency. For example, the greater the rainfall level, the greater the wiper wiping frequency. Preferably, according to the wiper wiping frequency, the wiper can be set to four working modes with wiper wiping frequencies from low to high, which correspond to the rainfall levels of "no rain", "light rain", "moderate rain" and "heavy rain", namely: normal wiper swing, automatic intermittent swing, continuous low-speed swing, and continuous high-speed swing. Therefore, different working modes correspond to different rainfall levels and different wiper wiping frequencies, and different wiper working state signals can be configured to show different working modes, so as to achieve the purpose of indirectly showing the corresponding relationship between the rainfall level and the wiper wiping frequency. For example, the four wiper working state signals of "0", "1", "2" and "3" can be configured to represent the four working modes of normal wiper swing, automatic intermittent swing, continuous low-speed swing, and continuous high-speed swing. For ease of description, Table 1 shows an example relationship between the wiper operating state signal, the wiper operating mode, the wiper wiping frequency and the rainfall level. The following description can be understood by referring to Table 1.

[0040] Table 1, schematic diagram of wiper working status signal

[0041]

[0042] It should be noted that the vehicle-mounted terminal in the first embodiment can directly obtain the wiper working status signal from the vehicle's wiper controller, and the details of how the wiper controller obtains the wiper working status signal will be described in the relevant part below and will not be repeated here.

[0043] In addition, to distinguish between the vehicle and other vehicles, step S100 may include the following two implementations:

[0044] 1) Obtain the wiper working status signal from the wiper controller of the vehicle through the vehicle gateway. For example, the wiper controller of the vehicle obtains the wiper working status signal and sends it to the vehicle gateway, and the gateway then forwards the wiper working status signal to TBOX.

[0045] 2) Obtaining the wiper working status signal from other vehicles other than the vehicle through the remote server. For example, for a vehicle networking system composed of multiple vehicles and a remote server (taking a telematics service provider (TSP) as an example), the TBOX of the vehicle can obtain the wiper working status signal reported to the TSP by the TBOX of other vehicles from the TSP, and then analyze the rainfall conditions in the area where the other vehicles are located. Among them, analyzing the rainfall conditions in the area where other vehicles are located is similar to analyzing the rainfall conditions in the area where the vehicle is located according to the wiper working status signal of the vehicle in the following step S120, so it will not be repeated here.

[0046] Step S120, determining a current rainfall level signal according to the acquired wiper operating status signal.

[0047] In accordance with the above, step S120 is aimed at analyzing the rainfall conditions in the area where the vehicle is located according to the vehicle wiper working state signal. For example, referring to Table 1, when the wiper working state signal is "3", TBOX determines that the wiper is in a continuous high-speed swing working mode, at which time the wiper wiping frequency is the highest level, and the corresponding rainfall level is heavy rain.

[0048] Step S130: sending the determined current rainfall level signal to vehicle components, so that the vehicle components can perform operations adapted to the current rainfall level signal.

[0049] Among them, "the vehicle components operate in accordance with the current rainfall level signal" means that the vehicle components operate in a manner that meets the safety requirements for driving in the rain and / or the driving experience requirements for driving in the rain. For example, in heavy rain, the vehicle components operate to improve braking sensitivity, maintain the driving distance from the vehicle in front, and maintain a suitable temperature inside the vehicle.

[0050] For example, vehicle components may be pre-configured with different operating modes corresponding to different rainfall levels, so that the vehicle can be controlled differently according to different rainfall levels. It should be noted that the different operating modes of each vehicle component in response to different rainfall levels will be described below and will not be repeated here.

[0051] In summary, the vehicle control method of the first embodiment of the present invention can determine the current rainfall level through the working state of the wipers, and make the vehicle components adapt to the current rainfall level to work, which is beneficial to ensuring driving safety and driving experience in rainy days.

[0052] Embodiment 2

[0053] A second embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle-mounted terminal, which has a controller, and the controller is configured to execute the vehicle control method using the wiper described in the first embodiment.

[0054] Figure 2 is a functional block diagram of an exemplary implementation of the vehicle-mounted terminal of the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2As shown, the vehicle terminal 200 may include a control module 210 and a communication module 220. The control module 210 is a controller for executing the vehicle control method using the wiper described in the first embodiment, and is used, for example, to determine the current rainfall level signal according to a preset logic algorithm after receiving the wiper working state signal, and control the operation of the vehicle components according to the rainfall level signal. The control module 210 can be implemented by a conventional controller such as a single-chip microcomputer and a digital signal processor. Furthermore, the communication module 220 is mainly used to establish communication between the vehicle and the remote server, so that the control module 210 can send relevant signals to the remote server or receive relevant signals from the remote server.

[0055] Furthermore, the vehicle terminal 200 may be a TBOX, and current TBOXs all have functional modules that can implement the control module 210 and the communication module 220 , and only need to adaptively configure the corresponding functional modules according to the requirements of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] For other implementation details and effects of the second embodiment, reference may be made to the first embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Embodiment 3

[0058] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle control system using a windshield wiper according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle control system 300 using wipers may include: a wiper controller 310, configured to control the wipers to enter different working modes corresponding to different initial rainfall levels when rainfall occurs, and determine the wiper working state signal corresponding to the current working mode of the wiper according to the pre-configured correspondence between the different working modes of the wipers and different wiper working state signals, wherein each working mode of the wiper corresponds to a different wiper wiping frequency, and the wiper working state signal is used to show the correspondence between the rainfall level and the wiper wiping frequency; the vehicle terminal 200 described in the above embodiment 2 is configured to obtain the wiper working state signal from the wiper controller 310, determine the current rainfall level signal according to the wiper working state signal, and send the determined current rainfall level signal to the vehicle component; and the vehicle component 320 is configured to perform operations adapted to the current rainfall level signal.

[0059] The relationship between the wiper working state signal, the wiper working mode, the wiper wiping frequency and the rainfall level can be understood with reference to the first embodiment and Table 1, and will not be described in detail here. For example, using the relationship shown in Table 1, a certain logic algorithm can be configured inside the wiper controller 310, and then the wiper working state signal can be determined according to the current working mode of the wiper. For example, referring to Table 1, when the current working mode of the wiper is "automatic intermittent swing", the wiper working state signal is determined to be 1.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, the wiper controller 310 determines whether rainfall occurs through the rainfall signal sent by the rain sensor, and at the same time determines the initial rainfall level according to the wiper swing frequency during the initial rainfall, and then determines the corresponding working mode of the wiper according to the initial rainfall level. That is, the vehicle control system 300 using the wiper may also include: a rainfall sensor 330, which is used to detect the rainfall signal and send the rainfall signal to the wiper controller. For example, when rainfall occurs in a certain area, the rainfall sensor 330 of the vehicle driving on a rainy day detects the rainfall and sends a rainfall signal to the wiper controller 310, so that the wiper controller 310 controls the wiper to automatically work and starts to determine the rainfall level signal. With the different rainfall level signals, the wiper wiping frequency is also different, so the working mode of the wiper is also different.

[0061] Further, the vehicle component 320 may include a safety device and / or an experience device of the vehicle, and: the safety device is configured to execute a safety level adapted to the current rainfall level signal, wherein the higher the rainfall level, the higher the safety level; the experience device is configured to execute a user experience level adapted to the current rainfall level signal, wherein each rainfall level is preconfigured with a corresponding user experience level.

[0062] The following is a detailed introduction to the work performed by the vehicle's safety device and experience device in response to the current rainfall level signal.

[0063] 1) Safety device.

[0064] The safety device refers to a system or component used for driving safety control in a vehicle, such as an anti-lock braking system (ABS), an electronic stability program (ESP), an automatic emergency braking system (AEB) and / or a traction control system (TCS). For example, ABS, ESP, AEB and TCS each have their corresponding electronic control units (ECUs), so that the vehicle-mounted terminal of TBOX can send the rainfall level signal to each ECU so that the corresponding ECU can control the relevant vehicle components.

[0065] For the ABS system, it uses a rubber airbag in the valve body. When the brake is pressed, the brake oil pressure is applied to the valve body of the ABS. At this time, the airbag uses the air barrier in the middle to return the pressure, so that the wheel avoids the locking point; when the wheel is about to reach the next locking point, the pressure of the brake oil causes the airbag to act repeatedly, so that it can act 60 to 120 times in one second, which is equivalent to braking and relaxing continuously, that is, similar to the mechanical "braking". Preferably, according to the different number of "braking" that can be done in one second, the safety level of ABS can be divided into three levels: one, two, and three. The number of braking times in the safety level three mode is 60-80 times, the number of braking times in the safety level two mode is 80-100 times, and the number of braking times in the safety level one mode is 100-120 times. The braking distance of the vehicle under different safety levels is also different. When ABS adjusts its own safety level (three levels, two levels, one level) to different safety protection states according to the different rainfall levels received (three levels, such as light rain, moderate rain, and heavy rain) to prevent the danger caused by excessive rainfall.

[0066] The ESP system is based on the ABS system, collects information such as the steering wheel rotation angle and lateral acceleration through peripheral sensors, and sends a braking command to the wheel brake by the hydraulic regulator to correct the side slip. Preferably, according to the different sensitivity states of the sensors, the safety level of the ESP (or the stability level of the vehicle) can be divided into three levels: one, two, and three. The sensitivity of the ESP sensors in different levels is different, and the ability to prevent side slip is also different. According to the different rainfall levels (three levels, such as light rain, moderate rain, and heavy rain) received, the ESP adjusts the stability level of the vehicle (three levels, two levels, and one level) to different safety protection states to prevent the danger caused by excessive rainfall.

[0067] For the AEB system and TCS system, the former is mainly used to ensure that the vehicle maintains a safe driving distance from the vehicle in front, and the latter is mainly used to provide vehicle traction. Both can refer to the safety level classification of the above-mentioned ABS system and ESP system to adapt to the current rainfall level signal, and will not be elaborated here.

[0068] It should be noted that in other examples, wipers, windshields, etc. may also be safety devices, and embodiments of the present invention may also control them to work according to the current rainfall level to cope with weather changes.

[0069] 2) Experience-based installations

[0070] The experience-based device refers to a system or component in a vehicle for enhancing the user experience, and may include, for example, a vehicle head unit (HUT, also known as an in-vehicle multimedia system), an air conditioner, and / or a seat (a seat with a specific heating function). The HUT is configured to execute a multimedia service mode adapted to the current rainfall level signal, the air conditioner is configured to adjust the in-vehicle temperature adapted to the current rainfall level signal, and the seat is configured to adjust the seat heating level adapted to the current rainfall level signal.

[0071] For example, for HUT, after receiving the rainfall level signal sent by TBOX, it will implement different rainy day modes according to the different rainfall levels received. In different rainy day modes, the multimedia managed by HUT will play different types of music to relieve the user's mood, push some rainy day-related movies for the co-pilot and rear passengers to watch, or push some news about traffic caused by rain for users to understand.

[0072] For example, the air conditioner adjusts the temperature inside the car based on the rainfall level it receives. The temperature automatically adjusted by the air conditioner will be different for different rainfall levels.

[0073] For example, for seats, the level of seat heating will be adjusted to the corresponding level according to the level of rainfall received.

[0074] For the above-mentioned safety devices and experience devices, TBOX can transmit the rainfall level signal to them and the components they include separately to separately control the working conditions of each component. For example, when the user does not want to listen to music or watch movies, only the safety devices, air conditioners and seats can be adapted to the rainfall level without starting the HUT to play music or videos.

[0075] In addition, in a preferred embodiment, TBOX can also uniformly control all components of the safety device and the experience device in a one-click manner to work in response to the rainfall level at the same time. Figure 4FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle control system using a windshield wiper according to the preferred embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, in this preferred embodiment, the vehicle control system 300 using wipers may also include: a vehicle controller 340, which communicates with the vehicle terminal 200 and the vehicle component 320, and is configured to start a preset rainy day mode in response to obtaining the current rainfall level signal from the vehicle terminal 200, wherein in the rainy day mode, the vehicle component 320 performs work adapted to the current rainfall level signal.

[0076] That is, the vehicle controller 340 sets the rainy day mode for all vehicle components, and the rainy day mode can be started with one button to achieve the purpose of uniformly controlling all vehicle components to adapt to the current rainfall level signal. For example, through the vehicle controller 340, the vehicle turns on the rainy day mode, the ABS turns on the emergency mode to increase its sensitivity, the AEB maintains the driving distance from the vehicle in front, and the vehicle automatically adjusts the air conditioner to a suitable temperature according to the rainfall situation, and the HUT plays relevant music according to the rainfall situation.

[0077] Among them, for electric vehicles, the vehicle controller can be a VCU (Vehicle Control Unit, electric vehicle whole vehicle control unit); for hybrid vehicles, the vehicle controller is an HCU (Hybrid Control Unit, hybrid vehicle control unit); in addition, the vehicle controller can also be a BCM (Body Control Module, body control module).

[0078] Back to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle control system 300 using wipers may also include: a remote server 350, which communicates with the vehicle-mounted terminal 200, and is used to obtain and transmit the current rainfall level signal determined by the vehicle-mounted terminal of the vehicle, and / or is used to transmit the current rainfall level signal from other vehicles to the vehicle-mounted terminal of the vehicle.

[0079] For example, for vehicle A that is about to travel to a certain area A, it can obtain the rainfall level signal of vehicle B currently in area A from TSP through the Internet of Vehicles, and adjust the functions of the entire vehicle according to the rainfall level signal to ensure that when vehicle A arrives in area A, it can adapt to the rain conditions in area A for driving. For another example, vehicle A can transmit the rainfall level signal of the current area B determined by its on-board terminal to TSP, and TSP can transmit the rainfall level signal to other vehicles under the same Internet of Vehicles for reference, or provide it to relevant weather forecast departments for reference.

[0080] Through experiments, it can be known that the scheme of the embodiment of the present invention using the working status of the wiper to predict rainfall is more targeted and real-time for rainfall prediction data in a specified small area than the existing scheme of predicting the weather in a large area through meteorological satellites. Therefore, government departments, communities and vehicles can take actions based on the more targeted and real-time data. For example, government departments can take preventive measures for floods based on the data obtained from the connected vehicles, communities can take waterproof measures for real estate, infrastructure and the environment, and vehicles can make driving adjustments to cope with rainy conditions.

[0081] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary workflow of a vehicle control system for rain response and prediction according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In this example, the vehicle terminal is TBOX and the remote server is TSP. Figure 5 As shown, the example workflow may include the following steps:

[0082] Step S501: When the rain sensor detects rainfall, the wiper controller controls the wipers to work automatically.

[0083] Step S502: The wiper controller determines a wiper operating status signal and sends it to TBOX.

[0084] Among them, the determination scheme of the wiper working status signal can be referred to above and will not be repeated here.

[0085] Step S503, TBOX determines the current rainfall level signal according to the wiper working state signal, and then executes step S504a or step S504b.

[0086] Step S504a, TBOX sends the current rainfall level signal to vehicle components.

[0087] Step S504b: TBOX sends the current rainfall level signal to TSP.

[0088] Corresponding to step S504a, step S505a is configured as follows: the vehicle components perform operations adapted to the current rainfall level signal.

[0089] Corresponding to step S504b, step S505b is configured as: TSP transmits the current rainfall level signal based on the Internet of Vehicles.

[0090] Through this example, it can be seen that the vehicle control system of the embodiment of the present invention can determine the current rainfall level through the working state of the wipers, and make the vehicle components adapt to the current rainfall level to work, which is conducive to ensuring driving safety and driving experience on rainy days, and can provide the determined current rainfall level to the TSP to achieve rainfall prediction. Among them, for a small area, the rainfall prediction provided by this example is more real-time than the conventional weather prediction solution.
