[0033] The vehicle cabin equipment control method, device, equipment, medium, and vehicle provided in this disclosure can automatically control various cabin equipment related to cabin environment comfort adjustment within the vehicle, thereby improving the driving experience while ensuring driving safety.

[0034] To better understand the inventive concept of the embodiments of this disclosure, the following is combined with... Figure 1 The method for controlling the cockpit equipment of a vehicle provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will be described.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a vehicle cabin equipment control method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0036] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the vehicle's cockpit equipment control method can be executed by the vehicle's cockpit equipment control device. Specifically, the vehicle's cockpit equipment control device can be the vehicle's main controller, a system on chip (SOC) for driver assistance systems, or a computing platform, without any limitation.

[0037] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the vehicle's cabin equipment may include cabin temperature control equipment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the cockpit equipment control method of this vehicle includes the following steps:

[0038] S110, in response to vehicle startup, detects whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature.

[0039] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the cabin equipment control device can respond to vehicle startup by immediately detecting whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature, and determine whether to adjust the overall cabin environment comfort based on the detection result.

[0040] The system starts the vehicle after the main power is turned on, and the cabin equipment control equipment starts at the same time. After the cabin equipment control equipment starts, it can immediately respond to the vehicle start-up and detect whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature.

[0041] Users can start the vehicle using the start button or start key, or remotely start the vehicle using vehicle control software on their mobile phone to connect the vehicle's main power supply; there are no restrictions on this.

[0042] In this embodiment of the disclosure, cabin temperature refers to the temperature within the vehicle cabin space.

[0043] Specifically, the cabin equipment control equipment can detect whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature based on parameters related to the vehicle's cabin temperature comfort. If the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature, S120 is executed; otherwise, S130 can be executed directly.

[0044] S120. If it is detected that the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature, control the cabin temperature adjustment device to adjust the cabin temperature to the preset comfortable temperature range.

[0045] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the cabin equipment control device detects that the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature, it can control the cabin temperature adjustment device to adjust the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range, thereby achieving the adjustment of the overall cabin environment comfort.

[0046] The cabin temperature control equipment may include at least one of the following: vehicle air conditioning, heating equipment, radiator, and air cooling equipment.

[0047] Specifically, when it is necessary to raise the cabin temperature, the cabin equipment control device can control at least one of the vehicle's air conditioning, heating system, etc., to adjust the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range. When it is necessary to lower the cabin temperature, the cabin equipment control device can control at least one of the vehicle's air conditioning, cooling system, etc., to adjust the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range.

[0048] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the cabin equipment control device can dynamically or statically control the cabin temperature regulation device to make the cabin temperature reach a preset comfortable temperature range.

[0049] The following is a detailed explanation using a vehicle air conditioner as an example. When the cabin equipment control device detects that the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature, it can directly adjust the fan speed and temperature settings of the vehicle air conditioner to fixed settings based on the detected cabin temperature, without further adjustment, until the cabin temperature is adjusted to the preset comfortable temperature range, thus achieving static control of the vehicle air conditioner. Alternatively, the cabin equipment control device can also adjust the fan speed and temperature settings of the vehicle air conditioner at fixed intervals based on changes in cabin temperature, until the cabin temperature is adjusted to the preset comfortable temperature range, thus achieving dynamic control of the vehicle air conditioner.

[0050] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabin equipment control device can adjust the cabin temperature by statically controlling the cabin temperature regulation device to bring it to a preset comfortable temperature range.

[0051] Specifically, the cabin equipment control equipment can determine a fixed fan speed setting and a fixed temperature setting based on the cabin temperature detected when the vehicle starts. Then, it sends a control command carrying the fixed fan speed setting and fixed temperature setting to the vehicle air conditioner, so that the vehicle air conditioner can work according to the fixed fan speed setting and fixed temperature setting, thereby adjusting the cabin temperature to the preset comfortable temperature range.

[0052] In some examples, the cabin equipment control unit can subtract the center value of the comfort temperature range from the cabin temperature detected when the vehicle starts to obtain the difference. If the difference is positive, it is compared with the preset temperature difference range corresponding to each cooling temperature setting to determine the temperature difference range into which the difference falls, and then the cooling temperature setting corresponding to the determined temperature difference range is set as the fixed temperature setting. If the difference is negative, it is compared with the preset temperature difference range corresponding to each heating temperature setting to determine the temperature difference range into which the difference falls, and then the heating temperature setting corresponding to the determined temperature difference range is set as the fixed temperature setting. Simultaneously, the cabin equipment control unit can also compare the difference with the preset airflow range corresponding to each fan speed setting to determine the airflow range into which the difference falls, and then the fan speed setting corresponding to the determined airflow range is set as the fixed fan speed setting.

[0053] In other examples, if the cabin equipment control device needs to control the cabin temperature, it can subtract the lower limit of the comfort temperature range from the cabin temperature detected when the vehicle starts to obtain the difference. This difference is then compared with the preset temperature difference range corresponding to each heating temperature setting to determine the temperature difference range into which the difference falls. The heating temperature setting corresponding to the determined temperature difference range is then used as the fixed temperature setting. At the same time, the cabin equipment control device can also compare the difference with the preset wind speed range corresponding to each fan speed setting to determine the wind speed range into which the difference falls. The wind speed setting corresponding to the determined wind speed range is then used as the fixed wind speed setting.

[0054] In some other examples, if the cabin equipment control device needs to control the cabin temperature for cooling, it can subtract the upper limit of the comfortable temperature range from the cabin temperature detected when the vehicle starts to obtain the difference. This difference is then compared with the preset temperature difference range corresponding to each cooling temperature setting to determine the temperature difference range into which the difference falls. The cooling temperature setting corresponding to the determined temperature difference range is then used as the fixed temperature setting. At the same time, the cabin equipment control device can also compare the difference with the preset wind speed range corresponding to each fan speed setting to determine the wind speed range into which the difference falls. The wind speed setting corresponding to the determined wind speed range is then used as the fixed wind speed setting.

[0055] Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the cabin equipment control device can quickly adjust the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range by statically controlling the cabin temperature regulation device.

[0056] In other embodiments of this disclosure, the cabin equipment control device can dynamically control the cabin temperature regulation device to adjust the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range.

[0057] Specifically, the cabin equipment control device can determine the first fan speed setting and the first temperature setting based on the cabin temperature detected when the vehicle starts. Then, it sends a control command carrying the first fan speed setting and the first temperature setting to the vehicle air conditioner, enabling the vehicle air conditioner to operate at the first fan speed setting and the first temperature setting. After the vehicle air conditioner has been operating for a certain period of time, it detects the cabin temperature again after operating for that period of time and determines the second fan speed setting and the second temperature setting based on that cabin temperature. Then, it sends a control command carrying the second fan speed setting and the second temperature setting to the vehicle air conditioner, enabling the vehicle air conditioner to operate at the second fan speed setting and the second temperature setting. This process is repeated to dynamically adjust the fan speed setting and temperature setting of the vehicle air conditioner, thereby adjusting the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range.

[0058] In some examples, when determining the fan speed and temperature settings, the cabin equipment control system can subtract the center value of the comfort temperature range from the cabin temperature to obtain the difference. If the difference is positive, it is compared with the preset temperature difference range corresponding to each cooling temperature setting to determine the temperature difference range into which the difference falls, and then the cooling temperature setting corresponding to that determined temperature difference range is used as the determined temperature setting. If the difference is negative, it is compared with the preset temperature difference range corresponding to each heating temperature setting to determine the temperature difference range into which the difference falls, and then the heating temperature setting corresponding to that determined temperature difference range is used as the determined temperature setting. Simultaneously, the cabin equipment control system can also compare the difference with the preset fan speed range corresponding to each fan speed setting to determine the fan speed range into which the difference falls, and then the fan speed setting corresponding to that determined fan speed range is used as the determined fan speed setting.

[0059] In other examples, if the cockpit equipment control device needs to control the cabin temperature, then each time the fan speed and temperature settings are determined, the cabin temperature can be subtracted from the lower limit of the comfortable temperature range to obtain the difference. This difference is then compared with the preset temperature difference range corresponding to each heating temperature setting to determine the temperature difference range into which the difference falls. The heating temperature setting corresponding to this determined temperature difference range is then used as the final temperature setting. Simultaneously, the cockpit equipment control device can also compare this difference with the preset fan speed range corresponding to each fan speed setting to determine the fan speed range into which the difference falls. The fan speed setting corresponding to this determined fan speed range is then used as the final fan speed setting.

[0060] In some other examples, if the cabin equipment control equipment needs to control the cabin temperature, then each time the fan speed and temperature settings are determined, the cabin temperature can be subtracted from the upper limit of the comfortable temperature range to obtain the difference. This difference is then compared with the preset temperature difference range corresponding to each cooling temperature setting to determine the temperature difference range into which the difference falls. The cooling temperature setting corresponding to this determined temperature difference range is then used as the final temperature setting. Simultaneously, the cabin equipment control equipment can also compare this difference with the preset fan speed range corresponding to each fan speed setting to determine the fan speed range into which the difference falls. The fan speed setting corresponding to this determined fan speed range is then used as the final fan speed setting.

[0061] Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the cabin equipment control device can dynamically control the cabin temperature regulation device to more comfortably adjust the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range.

[0062] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the preset comfort temperature range is a temperature range that is pre-set as needed to indicate a temperature range that makes the human body feel comfortable. For example, the comfort temperature range can be 18°C ​​to 25°C, or it can be 19°C to 24°C, and there is no limitation thereto.

[0063] Optionally, the preset comfort temperature range can be the temperature range configured at the factory, the temperature range set by the vehicle user, or the temperature range obtained and updated by the vehicle based on real-time location data.

[0064] Specifically, the cockpit equipment control equipment can obtain the real-time location of the vehicle through the vehicle positioning system, and based on the real-time location, obtain the comfortable temperature range of the region where the real-time location is located through the Internet.

[0065] Furthermore, after obtaining the real-time location of the vehicle, the cockpit equipment control equipment can first determine whether the real-time location is still within the region corresponding to the locally stored comfort temperature range. If so, the comfort temperature range will not be re-obtained; otherwise, the comfort temperature range will be re-obtained to update the comfort temperature range.

[0066] Furthermore, the cabin equipment control equipment can first determine the storage duration of the locally stored comfort temperature range. If the storage duration does not exceed the preset duration, the comfort temperature range will not be updated. Otherwise, the real-time location of the vehicle will be obtained, and the comfort temperature range of the region to which the real-time location belongs will be obtained through the Internet to update the comfort temperature range.

[0067] S130, Detect whether there is a target human body area inside the target vehicle whose temperature needs to be adjusted.

[0068] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the cabin equipment control device adjusts the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range, it can further detect whether there is a target human body area in the target vehicle occupant whose temperature needs to be adjusted, so as to determine whether to further adjust the comfort of the local area of ​​the target vehicle occupant based on the detection results.

[0069] The people inside the target vehicle can be any person inside the vehicle, including the driver or any passenger, without any restrictions.

[0070] In this embodiment of the disclosure, each person can be divided into multiple body regions based on body parts. For example, body regions may include head and neck region, left arm region, right arm region, torso region, leg region, and foot region.

[0071] Among them, the target human body area can be the human body area of ​​the target vehicle occupant whose temperature needs to be adjusted, that is, the human body area that needs to be adjusted for comfort.

[0072] When there is only one person in the vehicle's cabin, the cabin equipment control equipment can identify that person as the target occupant and detect whether there is a target human body area that needs to be regulated.

[0073] When there are multiple people in the vehicle's cabin, the cabin equipment control equipment can treat each person as a target person in the vehicle and detect each person separately to determine whether there is a target human body area that needs to be regulated.

[0074] When there are multiple people in the vehicle's cabin, the cabin equipment control equipment can also select the target person in the vehicle corresponding to the seat position from among the multiple people according to the user's preset seating position, and detect each target person in the vehicle separately to determine whether there is a target human body area that needs to be regulated.

[0075] Specifically, the cockpit equipment control equipment can detect whether there is a target human body area with a temperature to be adjusted based on the regional temperature values ​​of each human body area of ​​the target vehicle occupant. If a target human body area with a temperature to be adjusted is detected, S140 is executed; otherwise, S110 is executed.

[0076] S140. If a target human body area is detected inside the target vehicle, the cabin temperature control device is controlled to adjust the temperature of the target human body area to a comfortable temperature range.

[0077] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the cabin equipment control device detects the presence of a target human body area inside the target vehicle, it can control the cabin temperature regulation device to adjust the temperature of the target human body area to a comfortable temperature range, thereby achieving further comfort adjustment of the local area of ​​the target human body inside the vehicle.

[0078] Specifically, the cabin temperature control equipment may include multiple sub-devices of the same type, and each cabin location may correspond to at least one sub-device. The cabin equipment control equipment can control the sub-device corresponding to the seating location of the target occupant, adjusting the temperature of the target human body area to a comfortable temperature range.

[0079] The cabin position refers to the seat position within the cabin.

[0080] The following will take a car air conditioner as an example for a detailed explanation.

[0081] In-vehicle air conditioning systems can have multiple sub-devices, such as air vents. When each cabin location corresponds to one sub-device, and the cabin control system detects the presence of a target occupant in the vehicle's interior, it first determines the occupant's seating position and adjusts the airflow direction of the sub-device at that location to blow towards the target occupant's area. Then, the cabin control system can directly adjust the fan speed and temperature settings of the sub-device to fixed levels based on the detected temperature in the target occupant's area, without further adjustment, until the temperature in the target occupant's area is adjusted to a preset comfortable range, thus achieving static temperature control. Alternatively, it can adjust the fan speed and temperature settings of the sub-device at fixed intervals based on changes in the target occupant's area temperature, until the temperature in the target occupant's area is adjusted to a preset comfortable range, thus achieving dynamic temperature control.

[0082] Specifically, the cabin equipment control device can determine the required airflow angle of the corresponding sub-device based on the relative position of the target human body area on the occupant of the target vehicle, and obtain the device identifier of the sub-device corresponding to the occupant's seating position in the cabin. It then sends a control command carrying the airflow angle and the corresponding sub-device's device identifier to the vehicle air conditioning system, enabling the vehicle air conditioning system to adjust the airflow direction of the corresponding sub-device according to the airflow angle. Furthermore, it sends a device identifier carrying the corresponding sub-device's device identifier, fan speed setting, and temperature setting to the vehicle air conditioning system, thereby achieving fan speed and temperature control of the corresponding sub-device.

[0083] It should be noted that the way the cabin equipment control equipment dynamically or statically controls the sub-equipment to adjust the temperature of the target human body area to a comfortable temperature range is the same as the way the cabin temperature regulation equipment dynamically or statically controls the cabin temperature to reach a preset comfortable temperature range, and will not be elaborated here.

[0084] Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the cockpit equipment control device can adjust the temperature of the target human body area through a sub-device located at the passenger seating position inside the target vehicle, thereby reducing production costs and resource consumption.

[0085] In-vehicle air conditioning systems can have multiple sub-devices, such as air vents. When multiple sub-devices correspond to each location in the cabin, for example, when each body area of ​​a target occupant in the vehicle corresponds to a sub-device, the cabin control equipment can first determine the sub-device corresponding to the target body area when it detects the presence of that area. Then, based on the detected temperature of the target body area, the cabin control equipment can directly adjust the fan speed and temperature settings of that sub-device to fixed levels, without further adjustment, until the temperature of the target body area is adjusted to a preset comfortable range, thus achieving static temperature control. Alternatively, at fixed time intervals, the fan speed and temperature settings of the sub-device can be adjusted according to changes in the temperature of the target body area until the temperature is adjusted to a preset comfortable range, thus achieving dynamic temperature control.

[0086] Specifically, the cabin equipment control equipment can obtain the equipment identifiers of multiple sub-devices corresponding to the seating positions of the target occupants in the cabin. Then, among these sub-device identifiers, it can find the equipment identifier of the sub-device corresponding to the target human body area, and then send the equipment identifier carrying the corresponding sub-device identifier, fan speed setting, and temperature setting to the vehicle air conditioning system to achieve fan speed and temperature control of the corresponding sub-device.

[0087] It should be noted that the way the cabin equipment control equipment dynamically or statically controls the sub-equipment to adjust the temperature of the target human body area to a comfortable temperature range is the same as the way the cabin temperature regulation equipment dynamically or statically controls the cabin temperature to reach a preset comfortable temperature range, and will not be elaborated here.

[0088] Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the cockpit equipment control device can achieve precise adjustment of the regional temperature of the target human body area through multiple sub-devices installed at the seating position of the target vehicle occupants.

[0089] In this embodiment, after the vehicle starts, it can detect whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature. If the cabin temperature needs to be adjusted, the cabin temperature adjustment device in the cabin equipment is controlled to adjust the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range. Furthermore, it detects whether there is a target human body area in the vehicle whose temperature needs to be adjusted. If the target human body area is detected, the cabin temperature adjustment device is controlled to adjust the temperature of the target human body area to a comfortable temperature range. Thus, after the vehicle starts, the cabin temperature can be automatically adjusted. After the cabin temperature is within a comfortable temperature range, that is, after the overall cabin environment meets the comfort requirements, the temperature of the target human body area to be adjusted is further adjusted to keep the temperature of the target human body area within a comfortable temperature range. Even if the local area of ​​the target human body meets the comfort requirements, it not only eliminates the need for the driver to be distracted, but also achieves targeted comfort adjustment of the cabin, ensuring driving safety while improving the driving experience.

[0090] The following section will explain in detail the specific methods for detecting whether a vehicle needs to adjust its cabin temperature based on parameters related to cabin temperature comfort.

[0091] In some embodiments of this disclosure, S110 may specifically include: acquiring target parameters of the vehicle, the target parameters being parameters related to cabin temperature comfort; if the target parameters meet preset cabin temperature adjustment conditions, then determining that the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature; if the target parameters do not meet preset cabin temperature adjustment conditions, then determining that the vehicle does not need to adjust the cabin temperature.

[0092] Specifically, the cabin equipment control device can obtain the target parameters of the vehicle through the cabin comfort sensor installed on the vehicle, and then detect whether the target parameters meet any preset cabin temperature adjustment conditions. If the target parameters meet any preset cabin temperature adjustment conditions, it is determined that the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature, and S120 is executed; if the target parameters do not meet any preset cabin temperature adjustment conditions, it is determined that the vehicle does not need to adjust the cabin temperature, and S130 can be executed directly.

[0093] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the target parameter is a parameter related to cabin temperature comfort. For example, the target parameter may include the vehicle interior temperature, the vehicle exterior temperature, the vehicle interior temperature and humidity, or the vehicle interior and exterior temperatures and humidity, and there are no limitations on this.

[0094] "Inside the vehicle" refers to the interior of the vehicle's cabin, while "outside the vehicle" refers to the exterior of the vehicle.

[0095] When the target parameter includes the vehicle interior temperature, the cabin comfort sensor may include a vehicle interior temperature sensor; when the target parameter includes the vehicle exterior temperature, the cabin comfort sensor may include a vehicle exterior temperature sensor; when the target parameters include both vehicle interior temperature and vehicle interior humidity, the cabin comfort sensor may include both a vehicle interior temperature sensor and a vehicle interior humidity sensor; when the target parameters include both vehicle exterior and interior temperature and both vehicle exterior and interior humidity, the cabin comfort sensor may include a vehicle interior temperature sensor, a vehicle exterior temperature sensor, a vehicle interior humidity sensor, and a vehicle exterior humidity sensor.

[0096] Furthermore, cabin temperature regulation conditions can include cabin heating regulation conditions and cabin cooling regulation conditions.

[0097] Optionally, the cabin temperature regulation conditions can be the cabin temperature regulation conditions configured at the factory, the cabin temperature regulation conditions set by the vehicle user, or the cabin temperature regulation conditions obtained and updated by the vehicle based on real-time location data.

[0098] Specifically, the cabin equipment control equipment can obtain the real-time location of the vehicle through the vehicle positioning system, and based on the real-time location, obtain the cabin temperature regulation conditions of the region where the real-time location is located via the Internet.

[0099] Furthermore, after obtaining the real-time location of the vehicle, the cockpit equipment control equipment can first determine whether the real-time location is still within the region corresponding to the locally stored cockpit temperature adjustment conditions. If so, the cockpit temperature adjustment conditions will not be re-obtained; otherwise, the cockpit temperature adjustment conditions will be re-obtained to update the cockpit temperature adjustment conditions.

[0100] Furthermore, the cabin equipment control device can first determine the storage duration of the locally stored cabin temperature adjustment conditions. If the storage duration does not exceed the preset duration, the cabin temperature adjustment conditions will not be updated; otherwise, the real-time location of the vehicle will be obtained, and the cabin temperature adjustment conditions for the region where the real-time location is located will be obtained via the Internet to update the cabin temperature adjustment conditions. In some embodiments, the cabin temperature adjustment conditions can be preset conditions based on target parameters to determine whether the vehicle needs to increase the cabin temperature, and this is not limited.

[0101] Optionally, the cabin temperature adjustment conditions can be that the interior temperature is less than or equal to a first preset temperature value, or that the interior temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature value and the exterior temperature is less than or equal to a second preset temperature value, or that the interior temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature value and the interior humidity is greater than or equal to a first preset humidity value. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0102] For example, if a person feels extremely cold when the interior temperature of the vehicle is -35℃ to -10℃, or feels cold when the interior temperature of the vehicle is -10℃ to 17℃, then the specific conditions for adjusting the cabin temperature can be that the interior temperature is less than or equal to 17℃. As another example, if a person feels cold when the interior temperature of the vehicle is -10℃ to 17℃ and the humidity is greater than 60%, then the specific conditions for adjusting the cabin temperature can be that the interior temperature is less than or equal to 17℃ and the interior humidity is greater than or equal to 60%.

[0103] Therefore, if the target parameters satisfy any preset cabin temperature adjustment conditions, and these conditions are cabin temperature rise adjustment conditions, the cabin equipment control device can determine that the vehicle needs to adjust its cabin temperature, and that the vehicle's cabin temperature needs to be raised. The cabin equipment control device can then control the cabin temperature adjustment device to raise the cabin temperature to a preset comfort temperature range.

[0104] In other embodiments, the cabin cooling adjustment conditions can be pre-set judgment conditions based on target parameters to determine whether the vehicle needs to cool the cabin temperature, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0105] Optionally, the cabin temperature cooling adjustment conditions can be that the interior temperature is greater than or equal to a third preset temperature value, or that the interior temperature is greater than or equal to a third preset temperature value and the interior humidity is greater than or equal to a second preset humidity value, or that the interior temperature is greater than or equal to a third preset temperature value and the exterior temperature is greater than or equal to a fourth preset temperature value, without any restrictions.

[0106] For example, when the interior temperature of a car is between 26°C and 30°C, people feel hot; when the interior temperature of a car is above 30°C, people feel stuffy. Therefore, the cabin cooling adjustment conditions can be specifically set as an interior temperature greater than or equal to 26°C. As another example, when the interior temperature of a car is above 30°C and the interior humidity is greater than 70%, people feel stuffy. Therefore, the cabin cooling adjustment conditions can be specifically set as an interior temperature greater than or equal to 26°C and an interior humidity greater than or equal to 70%.

[0107] Therefore, if the target parameters satisfy any preset cabin temperature adjustment conditions, and these conditions are cabin cooling adjustment conditions, the cabin equipment control device can determine that the vehicle needs to adjust its cabin temperature, and that the vehicle's cabin temperature needs to be cooled. The cabin equipment control device can then control the cabin temperature adjustment device to cool the cabin temperature to a preset comfort temperature range.

[0108] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the cabin equipment control device can determine whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature and how to adjust the cabin temperature based on whether the acquired parameters related to cabin temperature comfort meet the preset cabin temperature adjustment conditions, so as to better regulate the cabin temperature and further improve the driving experience.

[0109] Next, we will explain in detail the specific method for detecting whether there are target human body areas requiring temperature adjustment in the target vehicle based on the regional temperature values ​​of various human body areas of the target vehicle occupants.

[0110] In some embodiments of this disclosure, S130 may specifically include: detecting the regional temperature values ​​of each human body area of ​​the target vehicle occupant; if there is a target regional temperature value among the regional temperature values ​​of each human body area that meets the preset regional temperature adjustment conditions, then it is determined that a target human body area is detected in the target vehicle occupant, and the human body area corresponding to the target regional temperature value is taken as the target human body area; if there is no target regional temperature value among the regional temperature values ​​of each human body area that meets the preset regional temperature adjustment conditions, then it is determined that no target human body area is detected in the target vehicle occupant.

[0111] Specifically, the cabin equipment control equipment can obtain the regional temperature values ​​of each human body area of ​​the target vehicle occupant through human body temperature sensors installed on the vehicle, and then detect whether the regional temperature values ​​of each human body area of ​​the target vehicle occupant meet the target regional temperature value of the preset regional temperature adjustment conditions. If the regional temperature values ​​of each human body area of ​​the target vehicle occupant meet the target regional temperature value of the preset regional temperature adjustment conditions, it is determined that the target human body area of ​​the target vehicle occupant is detected, and S140 is executed; if the regional temperature values ​​of each human body area of ​​the target vehicle occupant do not meet the target regional temperature value of the preset regional temperature adjustment conditions, it is determined that the target human body area of ​​the target vehicle occupant is not detected, and S110 can continue to be executed.

[0112] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the regional temperature value refers to the temperature value corresponding to each human body region.

[0113] Human body temperature sensors can be infrared temperature sensors or temperature sensors with human body temperature detection functions; there are no restrictions here.

[0114] One or more human body temperature sensors can be installed inside the vehicle.

[0115] The following detailed explanation uses an infrared temperature sensor as an example.

[0116] In some embodiments, when only one infrared temperature sensor is installed inside the vehicle, the cabin equipment control device can acquire a whole vehicle thermal image containing all occupants through the infrared temperature sensor, determine the seating position of the target occupants, and then, based on the correspondence between the seating position of the target occupants and their relative positions in the whole vehicle thermal image, determine the image region containing the target occupants in the whole vehicle thermal image, and then extract the image region to obtain a thermal image of the occupants. Next, human body key points are identified in the thermal image of the occupants, and human body regions of the target occupants in the thermal image are divided based on the human body key points to obtain each human body region of the target occupants. Finally, for each human body region of the target occupants, the average heat value corresponding to all pixels in the human body region is calculated to obtain the regional temperature value of the human body region.

[0117] Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the cockpit equipment control device can use an infrared temperature sensor to detect the regional temperature values ​​of various human body areas inside the target vehicle, which can save resources and thus save costs.

[0118] In other embodiments, when multiple infrared temperature sensors are installed inside the vehicle, with one infrared temperature sensor corresponding to each cabin location, the cabin equipment control device can first determine the seating position of the target vehicle occupant, and directly acquire the thermal image of the target vehicle occupant through the infrared temperature sensor corresponding to the cabin location with the same seating position. Then, it identifies key human body points in the thermal image of the target vehicle occupant, and divides the target vehicle occupant into human body regions based on the key human body points, obtaining each human body region of the target vehicle occupant. Finally, for each human body region of the target vehicle occupant, it calculates the average heat value corresponding to all pixels within that human body region to obtain the regional temperature value of that human body region.

[0119] Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the cockpit equipment control device can detect the regional temperature values ​​of various human body areas of the occupants in the target vehicle by using infrared temperature sensors installed at the seating positions of the occupants, thereby improving the accuracy of the detected regional temperature values ​​of various human body areas.

[0120] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the regional temperature regulation conditions may include regional temperature regulation conditions based on body surface temperature, or regional temperature regulation conditions based on other regional temperatures. Body surface temperature refers to the average skin temperature of an occupant exposed to the elements inside the target vehicle.

[0121] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the regional temperature regulation condition based on body surface temperature can be that the regional temperature differs from the body surface temperature by a certain degree.

[0122] In these embodiments, optionally, the cockpit equipment control equipment needs to first detect the body surface temperature of the occupants of the target vehicle using thermal images of the occupants.

[0123] Specifically, the cockpit equipment control equipment can perform skin surface detection on the thermal image of the occupants in the target vehicle to obtain the skin surface area of ​​the occupants. Then, it can calculate the average heat value of all pixels in the skin surface area to obtain the skin surface temperature of the occupants in the target vehicle.

[0124] Furthermore, the regional temperature regulation conditions based on body surface temperature can include regional warming regulation conditions based on body surface temperature and regional cooling regulation conditions based on body surface temperature.

[0125] In some examples, after the cabin equipment control device adjusts the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range by raising the cabin temperature, the cabin equipment control device can detect whether there is a target human body area in the target vehicle occupant that meets the regional temperature adjustment conditions based on body surface temperature.

[0126] Among them, the regional temperature rise adjustment condition based on body surface temperature is that the regional temperature value of the human body area is lower than the body surface temperature of the target vehicle occupant by a first body surface temperature difference value, such as 5℃.

[0127] Specifically, the cockpit equipment control equipment can compare the temperature value of each human body area with the surface temperature of the target occupant's body. It determines whether the temperature value of the human body area is lower than the target occupant's surface temperature by a first temperature difference threshold. If so, the human body area is designated as a target human body area; otherwise, it is not. If at least one human body area is designated as a target human body area, it is determined that a target human body area is detected within the target occupant's body; otherwise, it is determined that no target human body area is detected within the target occupant's body.

[0128] In other examples, after the cabin equipment control device cools the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range, the cabin equipment control device can detect whether there is a target human body area in the target vehicle occupant that meets the regional cooling adjustment conditions based on body surface temperature.

[0129] Among them, the regional cooling adjustment condition based on body surface temperature is that the regional temperature value of the human body area is higher than the body surface temperature of the target vehicle occupant by a second body surface temperature difference value, such as 5℃.

[0130] Specifically, the cockpit equipment control equipment can compare the temperature value of each human body area with the surface temperature of the target occupant's body. It determines whether the temperature value of the human body area is higher than the target occupant's surface temperature by a second surface temperature difference threshold. If so, the human body area is designated as a target human body area; otherwise, it is not. If at least one human body area is designated as a target human body area, it is determined that a target human body area is detected within the target occupant's body; otherwise, it is determined that no target human body area is detected within the target occupant's body.

[0131] In other embodiments of this disclosure, the regional temperature adjustment condition based on the temperature of other regions can be that the regional temperature differs from the average regional temperature by a certain degree, or that the regional temperature is the extreme value among the various regional temperatures.

[0132] In some embodiments, if the temperature adjustment condition of other areas is that the area temperature differs from the average area temperature by a certain degree, the cabin equipment control equipment needs to first calculate the average area temperature of each human body area of ​​the detected target vehicle occupant to obtain the average area temperature.

[0133] Furthermore, the regional temperature regulation conditions based on the temperatures of other regions can include regional heating regulation conditions based on the temperatures of other regions and regional cooling regulation conditions based on the temperatures of other regions.

[0134] In some examples, after the cabin equipment control device adjusts the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range by raising the cabin temperature, the cabin equipment control device can detect whether there is a target human body area in the target vehicle occupant that meets the regional temperature adjustment conditions based on the temperature of other areas.

[0135] In other examples, after the cabin equipment control device cools the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range, the cabin equipment control device can detect whether there is a target human body area in the target vehicle occupant that meets the regional cooling adjustment conditions based on the temperature of other areas.

[0136] It should be noted that the testing method for cockpit equipment control devices is similar to the testing method for regional temperature regulation conditions based on body surface temperature, and will not be elaborated here.

[0137] In other embodiments, if the temperature adjustment condition for other regions is that the region temperature is the extreme value among the various region temperatures, the temperature adjustment condition based on other regions may include a temperature increase adjustment condition based on other regions and a temperature decrease adjustment condition based on other regions.

[0138] In some examples, after the cabin equipment control device adjusts the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range by raising the cabin temperature, the cabin equipment control device can detect whether there is a target human body area in the target vehicle occupant that meets the regional temperature adjustment conditions based on the temperature of other areas.

[0139] Specifically, the cockpit equipment control equipment can find the lowest temperature in each area of ​​the human body of the person inside the target vehicle, and take the human body area corresponding to the lowest temperature as the target human body area, thereby determining that the target human body area is detected.

[0140] In other examples, after the cabin equipment control device cools the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range, the cabin equipment control device can detect whether there is a target human body area in the target vehicle occupant that meets the regional cooling adjustment conditions based on the temperature of other areas.

[0141] Specifically, the cockpit equipment control equipment can find the highest temperature in each area of ​​the human body of the person inside the target vehicle, and take the human body area corresponding to the highest temperature as the target human body area, thereby determining that the target human body area is detected.

[0142] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the cabin equipment control device can accurately detect the target human body area whose temperature needs to be adjusted, so as to accurately achieve further comfort adjustment of the local area of ​​the target vehicle occupant, thereby further improving the driving experience.

[0143] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the cabin equipment may further include a seat heating device and a seat ventilation device for the target seat, wherein the target seat is a seat for occupants of the target vehicle.

[0144] Among them, the seat heating device of the target seat is a device installed on the target seat to heat the area of ​​the seat that contacts the back of the human body, such as a seat heater or a seat air conditioner.

[0145] The target seat's ventilation equipment is a device installed on the target seat to ventilate the area of ​​the seat that contacts the back of the human body, such as a seat cooling system, a seat air conditioner, or an external circulation ventilation system.

[0146] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after S120, the vehicle cabin equipment control method may further include: detecting the back temperature and humidity parameters of the target vehicle occupant; if the back temperature and humidity parameters meet preset seat heating conditions, controlling the seat heating device to heat; if the back temperature and humidity parameters meet preset seat cooling conditions, controlling the seat ventilation device to ventilate.

[0147] Specifically, after the cabin temperature is adjusted to a preset comfortable temperature range by the cabin temperature regulating device, thus achieving overall cabin comfort adjustment, the cabin equipment control device acquires the back temperature and humidity parameters of the target occupant through a back comfort sensor installed on the vehicle. If the back temperature and humidity parameters meet the preset seat heating conditions, the cabin equipment control device controls the seat heating device to heat the seat; if the back temperature and humidity parameters meet the preset seat cooling conditions, the cabin equipment control device controls the seat ventilation device to ventilate the seat.

[0148] Furthermore, the seat heating conditions can be preset based on back temperature and humidity parameters to determine whether seat temperature needs to be increased, and there are no restrictions on this. Similarly, the seat cooling conditions can be preset based on back temperature and humidity parameters to determine whether seat temperature needs to be decreased, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0149] The seat heating and cooling conditions can be factory-configured, user-defined, or based on real-time location data obtained and updated online. These will not be elaborated upon here.

[0150] In other embodiments of this disclosure, the back temperature and humidity parameters may include the average back temperature and the wet area of ​​the back.

[0151] In this embodiment, the back comfort sensor may include multiple back temperature sensors and multiple back humidity sensors. The multiple back temperature sensors and multiple back humidity sensors may be evenly arranged in the area where the seat contacts the back of the human body.

[0152] Optionally, detecting the back temperature and humidity parameters of the target vehicle occupant may include: obtaining back temperature and back humidity values ​​at multiple points on the back of the target vehicle occupant; taking the average of the multiple back temperature values ​​as the average back temperature; filtering out target back humidity values ​​that are greater than or equal to a preset humidity threshold from the multiple back humidity values; and calculating the damp area on the back based on the target point to which the target back humidity value belongs.

[0153] Each point represents the installation location of a corresponding back temperature sensor or back humidity sensor. This means that the cockpit equipment control device can obtain the back temperature value at the installation location of each back temperature sensor and the back humidity value at the installation location of each back humidity sensor.

[0154] Specifically, after acquiring the back temperature values ​​of multiple points on the back of the occupants inside the target vehicle, the cockpit equipment control equipment can add up the individual back temperature values ​​and divide by the total number of back temperature values ​​to obtain the average back temperature.

[0155] Furthermore, the preset humidity threshold can be a humidity value set as needed to indicate that the humidity value meets the humidity requirements, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0156] Specifically, after the cabin equipment control equipment obtains the back humidity values ​​of multiple points on the back of the target vehicle occupant, it can compare the back humidity value of each point with a preset humidity threshold, and filter out the target back humidity values ​​that are greater than or equal to the preset humidity threshold. Then, it sequentially connects the target points to which two adjacent target back humidity values ​​belong to form a closed area, and calculates the area of ​​the closed area to obtain the back damp area.

[0157] In these embodiments, the seat heating condition can be that the average back temperature is lower than a preset minimum back temperature limit. The seat cooling condition can be that the average back temperature is higher than a preset maximum back temperature limit, and / or that the wet area of ​​the back is greater than a preset maximum wet area limit.

[0158] Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the cockpit equipment control device can detect the temperature and humidity parameters of the back of the occupants in the target vehicle to control the seat heating device and seat ventilation device to adjust the back comfort of the occupants in the target vehicle, thereby better adjusting the comfort of the obstructed areas of the occupants in the target vehicle and further improving the driving experience.

[0159] In yet another embodiment of this disclosure, the cabin equipment may further include cabin humidity control equipment.

[0160] Optionally, the vehicle's cabin equipment control method may further include: detecting whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin humidity; if the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin humidity, controlling the cabin humidity adjustment device to adjust the cabin humidity to a preset comfortable humidity range.

[0161] In this embodiment of the disclosure, cabin humidity refers to the humidity within the vehicle cabin space.

[0162] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabin equipment control device can respond to vehicle startup by immediately detecting whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin humidity. If the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin humidity, the device can control the cabin humidity adjustment device to adjust the cabin humidity to a preset comfortable humidity range, thereby adjusting the overall comfort of the cabin environment. Otherwise, the cabin humidity will not be adjusted.

[0163] In other embodiments of this disclosure, the cabin equipment control device may, after controlling the cabin temperature adjustment device to adjust the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range, i.e., after achieving the overall comfort adjustment of the cabin environment, detect whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin humidity. If it is detected that the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin humidity, the cabin humidity adjustment device can be controlled to adjust the cabin humidity to a preset comfortable humidity range to achieve the overall comfort adjustment of the cabin environment; otherwise, the cabin humidity will not be adjusted.

[0164] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the preset comfortable humidity range is a humidity range that is pre-set as needed to indicate a humidity range that makes the human body feel comfortable. For example, the comfortable temperature range can be 40% to 70%, or it can be 41% to 69%, and there is no limitation thereto.

[0165] Optionally, the preset comfortable humidity range can be the humidity range configured at the factory, the humidity range set by the vehicle user, or the humidity range obtained and updated by the vehicle based on real-time location data. These will not be elaborated upon here.

[0166] Specifically, the cabin equipment control device can obtain the cabin humidity through the in-vehicle humidity sensor installed on the vehicle. If the cabin humidity meets the preset humidification conditions, the device will control the cabin humidity adjustment device to humidify the cabin humidity to the preset comfortable humidity range; if the cabin humidity meets the preset dehumidification conditions, the device will control the cabin humidity adjustment device to dehumidify the cabin humidity to the preset comfortable humidity range.

[0167] Optionally, the preset humidification and dehumidification conditions can be the conditions configured at the factory, the conditions set by the vehicle user, or the conditions obtained and updated by the vehicle based on real-time location data. These will not be elaborated upon here.

[0168] The humidification condition can be that the cabin humidity is less than the first preset humidity value.

[0169] For example, if the cabin humidity is between 20% and 40%, and people feel dry, then humidification is needed. The humidification condition can be specifically defined as the cabin humidity being less than or equal to 20%.

[0170] The dehumidification condition can be set so that the cabin humidity is greater than the second preset humidity value.

[0171] For example, if the cabin humidity is greater than 70%, people will feel damp and need dehumidification. The humidification condition can be specifically defined as the cabin humidity being greater than or equal to 70%.

[0172] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the cabin humidity control device may include at least one of a humidifier, a ventilation device, etc.

[0173] Humidification equipment may include vehicle-mounted humidifiers, or other equipment with air humidification functions, without limitation. Ventilation equipment may include external circulation ventilation equipment, vehicle-mounted air conditioners capable of external circulation ventilation, or other equipment with ventilation functions, without limitation.

[0174] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the cabin equipment control device can dynamically or statically control the cabin humidity adjustment device to bring the cabin humidity to a preset comfortable humidity range.

[0175] The following is a detailed explanation using a humidifier as an example. When the cabin equipment control device detects that the cabin humidity needs to be adjusted, it can directly adjust the humidity level of the humidifier to a fixed level based on the detected cabin humidity, without further adjustment, until the cabin humidity is adjusted to the preset comfortable humidity range, thus achieving static control of the humidifier. Alternatively, the cabin equipment control device can also adjust the humidity level of the humidifier at fixed intervals based on changes in cabin humidity, until the cabin humidity is adjusted to the preset comfortable humidity range, thus achieving dynamic control of the humidifier.

[0176] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabin equipment control device can adjust the cabin humidity by statically controlling the cabin humidity adjustment device to bring it to a preset comfortable humidity range, which will not be elaborated here.

[0177] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the cabin equipment control device can further improve the comfort of the cabin by controlling the cabin humidity, making the driver and passengers feel more comfortable and further enhancing the driving experience.

[0178] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, if the humidification device is a car humidifier and the car humidifier has a fragrance function, the fragrance function of the car humidifier can be turned on during the humidification process to make the smell more comfortable and enhance the driving experience.

[0179] The following section provides a complete description of the vehicle cabin equipment control method provided in this disclosure, using examples of cabin equipment including vehicle air conditioning, seat heating equipment, seat ventilation equipment, and vehicle humidifier.

[0180] The cabin equipment control system can first acquire the temperature and humidity inside and outside the vehicle after the vehicle is started. Based on this, it determines whether cabin temperature and humidity adjustment is necessary. If adjustment is required, it controls the vehicle's air conditioning and humidifier to regulate the cabin temperature and humidity. If adjustment is not required, it acquires the temperature of each occupant's body area and, based on these temperatures, detects whether any occupant's body area requires temperature adjustment. If any occupant's body area requires temperature adjustment, it controls the vehicle's air conditioning to adjust the temperature of that area. If no human body area requiring temperature adjustment is detected in any vehicle occupant, the average back temperature and wet area of ​​each occupant's back are measured. Based on these measurements, it is determined whether seat heating or seat ventilation is required. If seat heating is required, the seat heating device is controlled to heat the seat; if seat ventilation is required, the seat ventilation device is controlled to ventilate the seat.

[0181] Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the cockpit equipment control device can adjust the overall temperature and humidity environment of the cockpit, the local area of ​​the target vehicle occupants, and the obstructed area of ​​the target vehicle occupants to improve the driving experience while ensuring driving safety.

[0182] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle cabin equipment control device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0183] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the vehicle's cockpit equipment control device can be located within the vehicle's cockpit equipment control unit. Specifically, the vehicle's cockpit equipment control device can be the vehicle's main controller, driver assistance system (SOC), or computing platform, without any limitation.

[0184] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the vehicle's cabin equipment may include cabin temperature control equipment.

[0185] like Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle's cabin equipment control device 200 may include a first detection unit 210, a first control unit 220, a second detection unit 230, and a second control unit 240.

[0186] The first detection unit 210 can be used to detect whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature in response to vehicle startup.

[0187] The first control unit 220 can be used to control the cabin temperature regulating device to adjust the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range if it is detected that the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature.

[0188] The second detection unit 230 can be used to detect whether there is a target human body area inside the vehicle where the temperature of the area to be adjusted is present.

[0189] The second control unit 240 can be used to control the cabin temperature control device to adjust the temperature of the target human body area to a comfortable range if the target human body area is detected.

[0190] In this embodiment, after the vehicle starts, it can detect whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature. If the cabin temperature needs to be adjusted, the cabin temperature adjustment device in the cabin equipment is controlled to adjust the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range. Furthermore, it detects whether there is a target human body area in the vehicle whose temperature needs to be adjusted. If the target human body area is detected, the cabin temperature adjustment device is controlled to adjust the temperature of the target human body area to a comfortable temperature range. Thus, after the vehicle starts, the cabin temperature can be automatically adjusted. After the cabin temperature is within a comfortable temperature range, that is, after the overall cabin environment meets the comfort requirements, the temperature of the target human body area to be adjusted is further adjusted to keep the temperature of the target human body area within a comfortable temperature range. Even if the local area of ​​the target human body meets the comfort requirements, it not only eliminates the need for the driver to be distracted, but also achieves targeted comfort adjustment of the cabin, ensuring driving safety while improving the driving experience.

[0191] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first detection unit 210 may include a parameter acquisition subunit, a first determination subunit, and a second determination subunit.

[0192] This parameter acquisition subunit can be used to acquire the vehicle's target parameters, which are parameters related to cabin temperature comfort.

[0193] The first determining subunit can be used to determine that the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin temperature if the target parameters meet the preset cabin temperature adjustment conditions.

[0194] The second determining subunit can be used to determine that the vehicle does not need to adjust the cabin temperature if the target parameters do not meet the preset cabin temperature adjustment conditions.

[0195] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second detection unit 230 may include a temperature detection subunit, a third determination subunit, and a fourth determination subunit.

[0196] This temperature detection subunit can be used to detect the temperature values ​​of various body areas of the occupants inside the target vehicle.

[0197] The third determining subunit can be used to determine that a target human body area exists in the target vehicle if there is a target human body area that meets the preset regional temperature adjustment conditions among the regional temperature values ​​of each human body area, and to take the human body area corresponding to the target regional temperature value as the target human body area.

[0198] The fourth determining subunit can be used to determine that there is no target human body area detected in the target vehicle if there is no target area temperature value that meets the preset area temperature adjustment conditions among the area temperature values ​​of each human body area.

[0199] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cabin equipment may further include seat heating equipment and seat ventilation equipment for the target seat, which may be a seat for passengers in the target vehicle.

[0200] The vehicle's cabin equipment control unit 200 may also include a parameter detection unit, a heating control unit, and a ventilation control unit.

[0201] This parameter detection unit can be used to detect the temperature and humidity parameters of the back of the occupants in the target vehicle after the cabin temperature regulation device has adjusted the cabin temperature to a preset comfortable temperature range.

[0202] This heating control unit can be used to control the seat heating device to heat the seat if the back temperature and humidity parameters meet the preset seat heating conditions.

[0203] This ventilation control unit can be used to control the seat ventilation equipment to ventilate if the temperature and humidity parameters of the back meet the preset seat cooling conditions.

[0204] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the back temperature and humidity parameters include the average back temperature and the wet area of ​​the back.

[0205] The parameter detection unit may also include a temperature and humidity value acquisition subunit, an average temperature calculation subunit, a humidity value filtering subunit, and a damp area calculation subunit.

[0206] This temperature and humidity acquisition subunit can be used to acquire the back temperature and humidity values ​​of multiple points on the back of the person inside the target vehicle.

[0207] This average temperature calculation unit can be used to take the average of multiple back temperature values ​​as the back average temperature.

[0208] This humidity value filtering subunit can be used to filter target back humidity values ​​that are greater than or equal to a preset humidity threshold from multiple back humidity values.

[0209] This wet area calculation subunit can be used to calculate the wet area on the back of the target based on the target point where the humidity value on the back of the target belongs.

[0210] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the cabin equipment may further include cabin humidity control equipment.

[0211] The vehicle's cabin equipment control device 200 may also include a third detection unit and a third control unit.

[0212] This third detection unit can be used to detect whether the vehicle needs to adjust the cabin humidity.

[0213] The third control unit can be used to control the cabin humidity adjustment device to adjust the cabin humidity to a preset comfortable humidity range if the vehicle detects that the cabin humidity needs to be adjusted.

[0214] It should be noted that, Figure 2 The cockpit equipment control device 200 of the vehicle shown can perform... Figure 1 The various steps in the method embodiment shown are implemented. Figure 1 The processes and effects in the method embodiments shown are not described in detail here.

[0216] In this embodiment of the disclosure, Figure 3 The cockpit equipment control device shown can be the vehicle's main controller, a driver assistance system (SOC), or a computing platform.

[0217] like Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle's cockpit equipment control device may include a processor 310 and a memory 320 storing computer program instructions.

[0218] Specifically, the processor 310 may include a central processing unit (CPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or one or more integrated circuits that can be configured to implement the embodiments of this disclosure.

For example, and not limitingly, memory 320 may include a hard disk drive (HDD), a floppy disk drive, flash memory, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, magnetic tape, or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) drive, or a combination of two or more of these. Where appropriate, memory 320 may include removable or non-removable (or fixed) media. Where appropriate, memory 320 may be internal or external to the integrated gateway device. In a particular embodiment, memory 320 is a non-volatile solid-state memory. In a particular embodiment, memory 320 includes read-only memory (ROM). Where appropriate, the ROM may be a mask-programmed ROM, a programmable ROM (PROM), an erasable PROM (Electrically Programmable ROM, EPROM), an electrically erasable programmable PROM (EEPROM), an electrically alterable ROM (EAROM), or flash memory, or a combination of two or more of these.

[0220] The processor 310 reads and executes computer program instructions stored in the memory 320 to perform the steps of the vehicle cockpit equipment control method provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0221] In one example, the information processing device may further include a transceiver 330 and a bus 340. Wherein, as... Figure 3 As shown, the processor 310, memory 320 and transceiver 330 are connected via bus 340 and communicate with each other.
