[0064] Generally, the central control area of a vehicle usually has an entertainment information system, volume adjustment buttons, audio input buttons, air conditioning switches and air volume adjustment buttons, auxiliary control switches and other physical buttons, as well as a display screen, which are dispersed in position. During driving, the driver needs to remember the positions of each button first, and needs to ensure safe driving and complete control operation, which is tedious and may cause misoperation and safety hazards during driving.

[0065] Therefore, an embodiment of the present application switches the control interface on the display screen by rotating the control knob arranged on the vehicle, and the display screen is located at the end of the control knob, which is convenient for user operation; the user determines the target object to be controlled by touching the control interface; and then the control knob is used to operate the target object, which is simple and the operation position is concentrated, improving the safety of driving, and reducing the space occupation in the vehicle.

[0066] The technical solutions shown in the present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments can exist independently or in combination, and the same or similar contents will not be repeated in different embodiments.

[0067] The execution subject of the embodiment of the present application can be a vehicle, or a control device arranged on the vehicle, such as a central controller of the vehicle. Optionally, the control device on the vehicle can be realized by software, or realized by the combination of software and hardware.

[0068] Figure 1A flowchart of a control method of a vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 A structural diagram of a control knob of a vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 An installation position diagram of a control knob provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 1 The method can include:

[0070] S101, obtaining a rotation angle of a control knob arranged on the vehicle.

[0071] In combination with Figure 2 and Figure 3 A control knob 202 is arranged on the vehicle, which is connected with a central controller of the vehicle through a circuit board 203. For example, the control knob 202 is connected with the circuit board 203 through a wire, and the circuit board 203 is connected with a central controller (CCU) through LIN / CAN. A micro switch, conductive rubber or the like can also be arranged on the circuit board 203 to realize electrical connection with the vehicle and establish a communication interface. An outer shell 204 is arranged on the outer side of the circuit board 203 to mount the circuit board 203 and the control knob 202. The outer shell 204 is connected with the center console of the vehicle, for example, clamped, connected through a screw or the like, so as to mount the control knob 202 on the center console of the vehicle.

[0072] The installation position of the control knob 202 can be various, for example, in combination with Figure 3 The control knob 202 is installed above a center console display screen 301, of course, this is not restrictive, for example, the control knob 202 can also be installed below the center console display screen 301, and the control knob 202 can also be arranged at a position of an instrument panel, a co-pilot instrument panel or the like, to facilitate the operation of the driver.

[0073] The user rotates the control knob 202 to make the control knob 202 rotate, for example, the control knob 202 is provided with an angle sensor to obtain the rotation angle of the control knob 202 through the angle sensor; for another example, the control knob 202 is provided with a position sensor to obtain the rotation position of the control knob 202 through the position sensor, and the rotation angle of the control knob 202 is calculated and determined through a processor.

[0074] In addition, the control knob 202 of the present application is connected with a power supply through a wire, and directly starts the vehicle as a starting switch.

[0075] S102, switching an initial interface on an end display screen of the control knob to a control interface corresponding to the rotation angle according to the rotation angle.

[0076] In combination with Figure 2A display screen 201 is mounted at the end of the control knob 202, and the display screen 201 can be mounted at the end of the control knob 202 by clamping, screwing or the like. The display screen 201 can be in communication connection with the central controller of the vehicle, and the display screen 201 can be in communication connection with the central controller of the vehicle directly through wires, or the display screen 201 can be in communication connection with the central controller of the vehicle through a circuit board 203.

[0077] The display screen 201 of the embodiment has not only a display function but also a touch function. In the figure, the display screen 201 is a circular display screen, but this is not restrictive, for example, the display screen 201 can also be a rectangular screen. The display screen 201 can be a resistive touch screen, or the display screen 201 can be a capacitive touch screen, which is not limited here.

[0078] The display screen 201 of the embodiment displays an initial interface when there is no operation, wherein the initial interface is used to display at least one of the current time, the current date, and the current weather, and the initial interface is also used to display a rear seat monitoring picture when some vehicles have a monitoring function for monitoring the rear seat picture. For example, an infant seat is installed in the rear seat of the vehicle, and the user in the front seat can directly observe the state of the infant in the rear seat through the monitoring picture, which is simple and convenient. Of course, the display content of the initial interface of the embodiment is not limited to this, for example, the initial interface can also display the current vehicle speed and the like.

[0079] The central controller of the vehicle stores a corresponding relationship between the rotation angle and the control interface, and after the rotation angle of the control knob 202 is determined, the control interface is determined according to the rotation angle and the corresponding relationship between the rotation angle and the control interface. For example, the angle of clockwise rotation is positive, and the angle of counterclockwise rotation is negative. For example, when the control knob 202 is rotated clockwise by 45°, the corresponding control interface is an air conditioner control interface, that is, the rotation angle of 45° corresponds to the air conditioner control interface; when the control knob 202 is rotated clockwise by 180°, the corresponding control interface is a window control interface, that is, the rotation angle of 180° corresponds to the window control interface; and when the control knob 202 is rotated counterclockwise by 90°, the corresponding control interface is a sunroof control interface, that is, the rotation angle of -90° corresponds to the sunroof control interface.

[0080] It can be understood that the control interface is not limited to the above-mentioned air conditioner control interface, window control interface and sunroof control interface, and the control interface can also include a seat control interface, an audio-visual entertainment control interface, a central lock / child lock control interface and the like. Of course, the air conditioner control interface can also be subdivided into an air conditioner heating control interface, an air conditioner cooling control interface, an air conditioner defogging control interface and the like.

[0081] S103, acquiring position information of the control interface touched by the user.

[0082] The step can be understood as follows: taking the capacitive touch screen as an example, the user touches the control interface on the display screen 201, the sensor in the display screen 201 determines the touch position by acquiring the capacitive change position of the display screen 201, and thus the position information of the user touching the control interface is determined.

[0083] S104, determining a target object to be controlled according to the position information.

[0084] Different positions of the control interface can display different target objects to be controlled, different target objects to be controlled can be distinguished by different icons, and different target objects to be controlled can also be distinguished by different touch areas. Figure 4 Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a vehicle switch interface of a vehicle display screen provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in FIG. 4, the vehicle switch interface of the display screen 201 is divided into an upper region and a lower region, the upper region is a start region 401, and a “START” icon is displayed to indicate starting; the lower region is a stop region 402, and a “STOP” icon is displayed to indicate stopping. Figure 5 Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a vehicle window control interface of a vehicle display screen provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in FIG. 5, the vehicle window control interface is divided into four parts corresponding to the four vehicle windows of the vehicle, each part corresponds to a vehicle window of one door, and the middle region corresponds to the four vehicle doors at the same time to control the four vehicle doors at the same time; specifically, the upper left region 501 corresponds to the left front vehicle window, the lower left region 503 corresponds to the left rear vehicle window, the upper right region 502 corresponds to the right front vehicle window, the lower right region 504 corresponds to the right rear vehicle window, and the middle region 505 corresponds to the four vehicle windows at the same time. Such a setting has a guiding effect, and the driver does not need to remember the specific operation, which is convenient for the driver to operate, thereby improving the safety of driving.

[0085] According to the position information and the division of the control interface, the touched region is determined; then according to the touched region and the mapping relationship between the touched region and the target object to be controlled, the target object to be controlled is determined. For example, according to the touch position of the user and the division of the vehicle switch interface, it is determined whether the touched region of the user is the start region 401 or the stop region 402, for example, the touched region is the start region 401, then according to the start region 401 and the mapping relationship between the touched region of the vehicle switch interface and the target object to be controlled, it is determined that the target object to be controlled is the starting of the vehicle. The mapping relationship between the touched region of the vehicle switch interface and the target object to be controlled indicates the corresponding relationship between each touched region of the vehicle switch interface and the corresponding target object to be controlled.

[0086] ​​For example, according to the touch position of the user and the division of the window control interface, it is determined that the area touched by the user is which one of the upper left area 501, the upper right area 502, the lower left area 503, the lower right area 504 and the middle area 505, such as the touch area is the lower right area 504, and the central controller determines that the target object to be controlled is the right rear window according to the lower right area 504 and the mapping relationship between the touch area of the window control interface and the object to be controlled. The mapping relationship between the touch area of the window control interface and the object to be controlled indicates the corresponding relationship between the touch area of the window control interface and the corresponding object to be controlled.

[0087] In some implementations, in response to the touch operation of the user on the control interface, the display screen displays the icon of the target object. After the user performs the touch operation on the control interface, the position information of the user touching the control interface is obtained according to the touch operation of the user, and then the target object to be controlled is determined, and the display screen displays the icon of the target object. In this way, the driver can operate conveniently, and the convenience of operation is improved.

[0088] For example, when the display screen displays the window control interface, the user touches the upper left area 501, and it is determined that the target object to be controlled is the left front window. Then, the display screen displays the icon of the left front window, so that the driver can confirm that the left front window is currently controlled, and the accuracy of operation is further improved.

[0089] For another example, when the display screen displays the vehicle switching interface, the user touches the stop area 402, and it is determined that the target object to be controlled is parking. Then, the display screen displays the icon of "STOP", so that the driver can determine that the current operation is the parking operation, and the accuracy of vehicle control operation is improved.

[0090] S105, obtaining the control parameter input by the user through the control knob or the display screen.

[0091] The user can input the control parameter by operating the control knob. For example, the angle sensor detects the rotation angle of the control knob rotated by the user, and the control parameter is determined according to the corresponding relationship between the rotation angle and the control parameter.

[0092] Alternatively, the user can input the control parameter by touching the display screen. For example, different touch operations correspond to different control parameters. For example, when the air conditioner control interface is displayed, the temperature of the air conditioner is raised by swiping up on the display screen, and the temperature of the air conditioner is lowered by swiping down on the display screen.

[0093] In some implementations, the control parameter input by the user through the control knob or the display screen can be obtained in the following way:

[0094] Step 1: Obtain the dial angle or rotation angle of the control knob, or the touch information of the display screen. The dial angle or rotation angle of the control knob is obtained through the angle sensor or micro switch set by the control knob. The touch information of the display screen is determined through the sensor of the display screen, wherein the touch information includes one or more of the touch position, touch path, and touch length.

[0095] Step 2: Determine the control parameter for controlling the target object according to the dial angle, rotation angle, or touch information. This step can be understood as that the control parameter for controlling the target object can be determined according to the dial angle, for example, the central controller stores a mapping relationship between the dial angle and the control parameter, and the control parameter is determined according to the mapping relationship and the obtained dial angle; the control parameter for controlling the target object can be determined through the rotation angle, for example, the central controller stores a mapping relationship between the rotation angle and the control parameter, and the control parameter is determined according to the mapping relationship and the obtained rotation angle; the control parameter for controlling the target object can be determined through the touch information, for example, the central controller stores a mapping relationship between the touch information and the control parameter, and the control parameter is determined according to the mapping relationship and the obtained touch information.

[0096] It can be understood that the control parameters corresponding to the dial angle, rotation angle, and touch information are different for different target objects. For example, when the left front window is the target object, the control knob is rotated clockwise, that is, the rotation angle is positive, and the left front window is raised; the control knob is rotated counterclockwise, that is, the rotation angle is negative, and the left front window is lowered. When the music volume is the target object, the control knob is rotated clockwise, that is, the rotation angle is positive, and the music volume is raised; the control knob is rotated counterclockwise, that is, the rotation angle is negative, and the music volume is lowered.

[0097] S106, controlling the target object according to the control parameter.

[0098] This step can be understood as controlling the target object according to the control parameter. For example, the control parameter is used to control the window to be raised or lowered.

[0099] In some implementations, after the target object is controlled according to the control parameter for a preset time, the display screen is controlled to display the initial interface. Of course, the premise of this process is that the vehicle is in normal driving, that is, the vehicle speed is greater than zero, and the display screen displays the initial interface. The initial interface is not limited to displaying the current time, current date, and current weather, and a background interface can also be set, for example, a personalized family photo or a landscape picture is set as the background interface.

[0100] The following illustrates the operation of several specific operation interfaces, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present application.

[0101] The control method of the vehicle of the embodiment of the present application further comprises: acquiring current state information of the vehicle; and controlling the display screen to display a vehicle switching interface according to the state information. That is, the vehicle switching interface is automatically displayed on the display screen according to the current state information of the vehicle, without manual operation of the control knob or the display screen. This arrangement can simplify the starting and stopping operation of the vehicle.

[0102] Specifically, when the vehicle is in the parking gear and the safety belt of the main driver is in the inserted state, the display screen displays the vehicle switching interface. At this time, the driver gets on the vehicle and fastens the safety belt, and the vehicle is in the parking gear, indicating that the vehicle has the possibility of starting. In combination with the fact that the speed of the vehicle is zero, the display screen displays the vehicle switching interface. Figure 4 At this time, the display screen 201 displays the vehicle switching interface as shown in FIG. 4. Figure 4 The driver can start the vehicle by touching the starting area 401, which is simple and convenient to operate. Alternatively, when the speed of the vehicle is zero and the vehicle is in the parking gear or the vehicle is in the braking state, the display screen displays the vehicle switching interface. At this time, the driver stops the vehicle and brakes the vehicle, indicating that the vehicle has the possibility of stopping. In combination with the fact that the speed of the vehicle is zero, the display screen displays the vehicle switching interface. Figure 4 At this time, the display screen 201 displays the vehicle switching interface as shown in FIG. 4. Figure 4 The driver can stop the vehicle by touching the stopping area 402, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0103] In the above process, whether the vehicle is in the parking gear, the speed of the vehicle, and the state of the safety belt of the main driver can be acquired by the monitoring system of the vehicle itself. When the vehicle has an electrical park brake (EPB), the signal that the EPB switch is pulled up indicates that the vehicle is in the braking state.

[0104] In combination with the fact that the speed of the vehicle is zero, Figure 5 In the window operation interface, the selected window is controlled by touching the window operation interface, and then the display screen displays only the selected window. If all four windows are selected for operation, the middle area 505 needs to be selected. Then, the control knob is rotated to control the window to open and close up and down. For example, rotating the control knob upward controls the window to close upward, and rotating the control knob downward controls the window to open downward.

Alternatively, when the speed of the vehicle is zero and the vehicle is in the parking gear or the vehicle is in the braking state, the display screen displays the vehicle switching interface. At this time, the driver stops the vehicle and brakes the vehicle, indicating that the vehicle has the possibility of stopping. In combination with the fact that the speed of the vehicle is zero, the display screen displays the vehicle switching interface.Figure 6 As shown in the two-zone air conditioner, the user touches the left area 601, and the display screen displays only the left area 601, thereby controlling the air conditioner of the front seat area. The user touches the right area 602, and the display screen displays only the right area 602, thereby controlling the air conditioner of the rear seat area. Of course, if it is a four-zone air conditioner, it is similar to the window control interface shown in Figure 5 The display screen displays the initial interface after a preset time, for example, 5 seconds, after the air conditioner operation.

[0106] When the control interface is the air conditioner control interface, the control method of the vehicle further includes: acquiring the temperature in the vehicle, for example, detecting the temperature in the vehicle by a temperature sensor arranged in the vehicle; and when the temperature in the vehicle exceeds a preset temperature range, controlling the display screen to switch from the initial interface to the air conditioner control interface. For example, when the temperature in the vehicle is ≥ 30° and ≤ 18° (the temperature parameter is not limited and can be personalized according to actual needs), the display screen switches from the initial interface to the air conditioner control interface, thereby facilitating the user to adjust the temperature.

[0107] In some embodiments, by rotating the control knob, a seat control interface can also be selected, and the display screen displays the seat control interface. The user can select the main driver seat or the co-driver seat by touching the display screen, and display the selected seat on the display screen, and select the heating / ventilation gear by touching the display screen.

For example Figure 7 The central lock control interface shown in the left side of the control interface, touching the left side of the close icon 701, then controlling the central lock to close; touching the right side of the open icon 702, then controlling the central lock to open. For exampleFigure 8 The child lock control interface is shown. Touching the left side closing icon 801 controls the left door lock of the vehicle to close. Touching the right side closing icon 802 controls the right door lock of the vehicle to close.

[0111] Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned selection of the central lock control interface or the child lock control interface by the control knob, the control method further includes: acquiring the speed of the vehicle, and when the speed is in a preset range, controlling the display screen to switch from the initial interface to the central lock control interface or the child lock control interface. For example, when the speed of the vehicle is ≥ 0 km / h and ≤ 10 km / h (this speed parameter can be set according to actual conditions), the display screen switches from the initial interface to the central lock control interface or the child lock control interface, which is convenient for the user to actively lock and unlock.

[0112] Therefore, the control method of the vehicle provided in the embodiments of the present application acquires the rotation angle of the control knob arranged on the vehicle, and switches the initial interface on the display screen at the end of the control knob to the control interface corresponding to the rotation angle according to the rotation angle. Then, the position information of the user touching the control interface is acquired, and the target object to be controlled is determined according to the position information. Then, the control parameter input by the user through the control knob or the display screen is acquired, and the target object is controlled according to the control parameter, so as to realize the control of the vehicle. In this process, the user only needs to operate the control knob and the display screen arranged at the end of the control knob to realize the control of multiple target objects, so that the control operation of the vehicle is concentrated, which is convenient for the user to operate and is beneficial to improve the safety of driving. Moreover, the mechanical movement control of the control knob and the touch display screen are combined, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the control.
