Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and medium for controlling a rearview mirror. Background Technology

[0002] Automobiles are an important means of transportation today, bringing great convenience to people's lives and work. As automotive technology advances, people's demands for cars are also increasing.

[0003] In related technologies, traditional automobiles typically use rearview mirrors mounted on the vehicle body to display rearward visibility information. However, this arrangement results in a large frontal area for the vehicle while it is in motion, leading to energy waste due to wind resistance. As an improvement over traditional rearview mirrors, there are applications using electronic rearview mirrors to display rearward visibility information. In this application, electronic cameras mounted on the side of the vehicle typically capture image data of the rear, which is then transmitted to a display screen inside the vehicle for viewing, allowing the user to observe the rearward visibility information. However, in practical applications, it has been found that since users also need to observe the rearward visibility information when exiting the vehicle, the vehicle needs to remain operational even after the engine is off to facilitate safe exit. This prolonged operational delay leads to significant energy waste and also affects the lifespan of related equipment within the vehicle.

[0004] In summary, the problems with the relevant technologies urgently need to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0026] When the rearview mirror is not in the folded state, the rotating mechanism controls the mirror display screen to rotate towards the vehicle body so that the rearview mirror and the vehicle glass fit together.

[0027] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this application, detecting whether the rearview mirror is in a folded state that is flush with the car's glass includes:

[0028] Detect the distance between the rearview mirror and the car's glass;

The described embodiments should not be considered as limitations on the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0051] In the following description, references are made to “some embodiments,” which describe a subset of all possible embodiments. However, it is understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0053] Automobiles are an important means of transportation today, bringing great convenience to people's lives and work. As automotive technology advances, people's demands for cars are also increasing.

[0054] In related technologies, traditional automobiles typically use rearview mirrors mounted on the vehicle body to display rearward visibility information. However, this arrangement results in a large frontal area for the vehicle while it is in motion, leading to energy waste due to wind resistance. As an improvement over traditional rearview mirrors, there are applications using electronic rearview mirrors to display rearward visibility information. In this application, electronic cameras mounted on the side of the vehicle typically capture image data of the rear, which is then transmitted to a display screen inside the vehicle for viewing, allowing the user to observe the rearward visibility information. However, in practical applications, it has been found that since users also need to observe the rearward visibility information when exiting the vehicle, the vehicle needs to remain operational even after the engine is off to facilitate safe exit. This prolonged operational delay leads to significant energy waste and also affects the lifespan of related equipment within the vehicle.

[0055] In view of this, this application provides a method for controlling a car rearview mirror. This method can effectively balance the needs of energy conservation and safety in automobiles. When the car is in the ignition state, the rearview mirror can be rotated and folded to a position flush with the window glass. An electronic camera captures image data of the rear view information and transmits it to the mirror display screen in the rearview mirror. This significantly reduces wind resistance during driving, while the user can understand traffic information behind the car based on the image data displayed on the mirror display screen, thus improving driving safety.

[0056] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation environment of a vehicle rearview mirror control method provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The main hardware and software components of this implementation environment include a car 101 and a server 102, which are communicatively connected. The control method for the car rearview mirror can be executed locally on the car 101 or based on the interaction between the car 101 and the server 102. The appropriate choice can be made according to the actual application, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0057] Server 102 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The vehicle 101 and server 102 can establish a communication connection via a wireless or wired network. This wireless or wired network uses standard communication technologies and / or protocols. The network can be the Internet or any other network, including but not limited to any combination of Local Area Network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), mobile, wired or wireless networks, private networks, or virtual private networks.

[0058] Before describing the control method of the car rearview mirror provided in this application, the components of the rearview mirror in the embodiments of this application will be introduced first.

[0059] Reference Figure 2In this embodiment, the rearview mirror in a car includes an electronic camera device, a rotating mechanism, a housing, and a mirror display screen. The housing is the main external structure of the rearview mirror, and its material and specific shape can be determined with reference to existing technology or according to design requirements; this application does not impose any limitations on this. The electronic camera device can be installed on the side of the housing, specifically positioned so that when the housing is rotated to a folded state that fits against the car's glass, the electronic camera device can normally acquire image data of the rear view information of the car.

[0060] In this embodiment, the mirror display screen is a component used in conjunction with the aforementioned electronic camera device. Image data of the rear view information of the vehicle collected by the electronic camera device can be transmitted to the mirror display screen inside the housing via a server or a dedicated communication module. This allows the mirror display screen to function as a display when powered on, showing the image data of the vehicle's rear view information. It should be noted that the mirror display screen itself functions as a display when powered on and as a mirror when powered off. Therefore, when the mirror display screen is powered off, it can act as a mirror to display the vehicle's rear view information.

[0061] In this embodiment, a rotating mechanism can be used to control the rotation of the mirror display screen. Specifically, the rotating mechanism can control the mirror display screen to rotate towards or away from the vehicle body. When the rotating mechanism controls the mirror display screen to rotate towards the vehicle body, the rearview mirror can be made to fit against the vehicle's glass. At this time, when the mirror display screen is powered on, the road traffic information behind the vehicle can be displayed on the mirror display screen. Furthermore, since the rearview mirror is in a folded state at this time, its overall wind resistance is greatly reduced, which can effectively reduce energy consumption and improve the vehicle's working efficiency. When the rotating mechanism controls the mirror display screen to rotate away from the vehicle body, its position can reach a position similar to that of a traditional car rearview mirror. Thus, when the mirror display screen is powered off, its mirror surface can still reflect the rear view information of the vehicle, and the user can also normally obtain the current traffic conditions behind the vehicle by observing the mirror display screen. In this embodiment, the rearview mirror as a whole can be installed on a pre-set rearview mirror base, and the rotating mechanism can cause the housing to drive the mirror display screen to rotate.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a car rearview mirror according to an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The control methods for this car rearview mirror include, but are not limited to:

[0063] Step 110: Detect the working status of the vehicle;

[0064] In this step, when executing the control method for the car's rearview mirror, the car's operating status can be detected. Here, the car's operating status can be determined based on the control commands received by the car. For example, in some embodiments, when the car receives an ignition command, it can be assumed that the car will start and will be in operation for a period of time; when the car receives a shutdown command, it indicates that the user has likely finished using the car, and the car will enter a standby state. Specifically, in this application embodiment, when detecting the car's operating status, the most recently received command information can be queried at any time or periodically through the car's communication bus, etc., and the car's operating status can be determined based on the command. For example, in some embodiments, the operating status can be detected through the car's CAN bus. Of course, the above implementation methods are only used to illustrate some methods that can be implemented in this application, and this application does not limit the actual detection methods used.

[0065] Step 120: When the car ignition command is received, detect whether the rearview mirror is in a folded state that is in contact with the car's glass;

[0066] In this step, when an ignition command is received, it indicates that the car is about to start and the user will be using it. Therefore, there is a need to reduce wind resistance during driving. In this embodiment, it is possible to detect whether the rearview mirror is currently in a folded state that is flush with the car's glass. It is understood that when the rearview mirror is in a folded state that is flush with the car's glass, the car's frontal area is reduced, thereby reducing wind resistance during driving. Specifically, in some cases, in this embodiment, historical action commands inside the car can be detected. The action of the last rotating mechanism is used to determine whether the rearview mirror is in a folded state that is flush with the car's glass. For example, if the last historical command controlled the mirror display to rotate towards the car body, then the rearview mirror is considered to be in a folded state that is flush with the car's glass; conversely, if the last historical command controlled the mirror display to rotate away from the car body, then the rearview mirror is considered not to be in a folded state that is flush with the car's glass. In other cases, a distance detection component can be installed on the rearview mirror housing to detect the distance between the rearview mirror and the car's glass. A distance threshold is preset, and when the detected distance is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the rearview mirror is determined to be in a folded state that is flush with the car's glass. Conversely, when the detected distance is greater than the preset threshold, the rearview mirror is determined not to be in a folded state that is flush with the car's glass.

[0067] Step 130: When the rearview mirror is in the folded state, image data of the rear view information of the vehicle is acquired through the electronic camera device;

[0068] Step 140: Transmit the image data to the mirror display screen and display the image data on the mirror display screen.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the rearview mirror is in the folded state, image data of the rear view information of the vehicle can be captured by an electronic camera device. This data can then be transmitted to the mirror display screen on the vehicle via a server or a dedicated communication module. When powered, the mirror display screen functions as a monitor, displaying the image data of the rear view information, thereby providing road information guidance to the user while the vehicle is in motion. Furthermore, the folded state of the rearview mirror reduces wind resistance during vehicle operation, improving the vehicle's energy efficiency.

[0070] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0071] When the rearview mirror is not in the folded state, the rotating mechanism controls the mirror display screen to rotate towards the vehicle body so that the rearview mirror and the vehicle glass fit together.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the car receives an ignition command, if the rearview mirror is not in a folded state, the mirror display screen can be controlled to rotate towards the car body via a rotating mechanism. The rotation speed can be flexibly set as needed. Furthermore, during the rotation, the distance between the mirror display screen and the car window glass can be detected at all times. When the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold, it can be considered that the rearview mirror and the car glass are in contact, and the rearview mirror has reached a folded state. The rotation operation of the rotating mechanism can be stopped simultaneously.

[0073] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0074] Detect the vehicle's speed;

[0075] When the driving speed is lower than a preset threshold, the power supply to the electronic camera and the mirror display screen is disconnected;

[0076] The rotating mechanism controls the mirror display screen to rotate away from the vehicle body, so that the mirror display screen can display the rear view information of the vehicle through the mirror.

[0077] In this embodiment, the vehicle's speed can be detected during driving, and the speed can be used to determine whether the vehicle is traveling at high speed. When the vehicle's speed is low, such as below a preset threshold, a mirror display can be used to show the rear view information of the vehicle through a mirror to save power. Therefore, in this case, the power supply to the electronic camera and the mirror display can be disconnected. Specifically, in this embodiment, disconnecting the power supply to the electronic camera and the mirror display can be achieved by opening the connection between the electronic camera and the mirror display and the power source, preventing them from obtaining power from the power source, such as by disconnecting the circuit connection through a mechanical switch. This application does not impose specific limitations on this method. Furthermore, a rotating mechanism can be used to control the mirror display to rotate away from the vehicle body, thereby ensuring that the rear view angle displayed by the mirror display is appropriate and wide, improving the safety of driving.

[0078] It is understood that the speed preset threshold in the embodiments of this application can be flexibly set as needed. By implementing the method in the embodiments of this application, the power consumption of related components can be reduced when the car is driving at low speeds, and the wind resistance experienced by the car can be reduced when the car is driving at high speeds, thereby improving the applicability of the car.

[0079] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0080] When a vehicle shutdown command is received, the power supply to the electronic camera and the mirror display screen is disconnected;

[0081] The rotating mechanism controls the mirror display screen to rotate away from the vehicle body, so that the mirror display screen can display the rear view information of the vehicle through the mirror.

[0082] As mentioned above, in this embodiment of the application, in order to save on vehicle power consumption, a mirror display screen can be used to display the vehicle's rear view information through a mirror surface. Therefore, when the vehicle is turned off, a rotating mechanism can be used to control the mirror display screen to rotate outwards from the vehicle, so that the mirror display screen can display the vehicle's rear view information through a mirror surface. In this way, the user can also observe the traffic information behind the vehicle through the mirror surface of the display screen, thereby safely and conveniently deciding when to get out of the vehicle.

[0083] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0084] When a car lock command is received, it is detected whether the rearview mirror is in a folded state that is flush with the car's glass;

[0085] When the rearview mirror is in the folded state, the car is locked.

[0086] When the rearview mirror is not in the folded state, the rotating mechanism controls the mirror display screen to rotate towards the vehicle body so that the rearview mirror and the vehicle glass fit together.

[0087] In this embodiment, after the user gets out of the car and closes the door, a car lock command can be sent to the vehicle. Upon receiving the car lock command, it indicates that the user has finished getting out of the car, and therefore, the mirror display screen can be reset. Specifically, to facilitate the next car start and minimize the risk of scratches, the rearview mirror can be in a folded state, flush with the car's glass. This can be detected using the method described in the previous embodiment; when the rearview mirror is in the folded state, the car can be locked. If the rearview mirror is not folded, a rotating mechanism controls the mirror display screen to rotate towards the car body, so that the rearview mirror is flush with the car's glass, and then the car can be locked.

[0088] It is understood that the rearview mirror control method provided in this application embodiment can effectively balance the needs of vehicle energy conservation and safety. When the vehicle is in the ignition state, the rearview mirror can be rotated and folded to a position flush with the window glass, and image data of the rear view information collected by an electronic camera device is transmitted to the mirror display screen in the rearview mirror for display. This significantly reduces wind resistance during vehicle operation, while the user can understand traffic information behind the vehicle based on the image data displayed on the mirror display screen, thus improving driving safety.

[0089] This application embodiment also provides a control device for a car rearview mirror. The rearview mirror includes an electronic camera device, a rotating mechanism, a housing, and a mirror display screen. The electronic camera device is disposed on the housing, and the mirror display screen is disposed in the housing. The rotating mechanism is used to control the rotation of the housing and the mirror display screen. The control device includes:

[0090] The detection module is used to detect the operating status of the vehicle;

[0091] The determination module is used to detect whether the rearview mirror is in a folded state that is in contact with the car's glass when a car ignition command is received;

[0092] The acquisition module is used to acquire image data of the rear view information of the vehicle through the electronic camera device when the rearview mirror is in the folded state.

[0093] The display module is used to transmit the image data to the mirror display screen and display the image data through the mirror display screen.

[0094] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this application, the determination module is specifically used for:

[0095] Detect the distance between the rearview mirror and the car's glass;

[0096] When the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold, the rearview mirror is determined to be in a folded state that is in contact with the glass of the car.
