[0040] In the following embodiments, an ambient light system that has been installed in a car is used as an example for explanation. The car itself can be provided with a module such as an ECU with a control function. When the ambient light system includes a control module, the ECU of the car itself can be used as the control module in the ambient light system, or a control module can be separately provided in the ambient light system. The control module in the ambient light system can establish a communication connection with the ECU of the car, so that the control module in the ambient light system can receive data collected by the ECU or instructions issued by the ECU. In the following embodiments, an example is used for explanation of the ECU of the car itself as the control module in the ambient light system.

[0041] Detection modules such as collision distance sensors, speed sensors and traffic signal detection devices can be installed on the car. Among them, the collision distance sensor can detect the distance between the car and nearby vehicles, pedestrians or obstacles, and transmit the distance data back to the ECU, which will issue a collision warning based on the distance data; the speed sensor can detect the car's driving speed or engine speed, and transmit the speed data back to the ECU, which will issue an overspeeding warning based on the speed data; the traffic signal detection device can be a camera that captures the scene outside the car, and transmits the captured image data back to the ECU, which performs image recognition to identify the signal displayed by the captured traffic light.

[0042] After obtaining the signal collected by the detection module, the ECU can issue an early warning according to the early warning algorithm. For example, when the distance data collected by the collision distance sensor is less than the preset distance threshold, the ECU generates a collision warning signal; when the speed data collected by the speed sensor is greater than the preset speed threshold, the ECU generates an overspeed warning signal; the ECU can generate corresponding light color control instructions based on the traffic light signal detected by the traffic signal detection device. For example, when the traffic light detected by the traffic signal detection device is red, green, and yellow, the ECU generates red, green, and yellow light control instructions respectively. The collision warning signal, overspeed warning signal, and light color control instruction generated by the ECU all belong to the driving reminder signals in the following embodiments. The ECU can also generate other types of driving reminder signals.

[0043] In the following embodiments, a group of atmosphere lights in the automotive atmosphere light system may be a single LED lamp bead, or a lamp assembly composed of multiple LED lamp beads. A driving circuit may be provided in the automotive atmosphere light system to drive different atmosphere lights at the same time, and each group of atmosphere lights may also be provided with a driving circuit separately, so that after the ECU sends a driving reminder signal to the automotive atmosphere light system, the corresponding atmosphere light emits light with specific parameters such as luminous color, brightness or flashing frequency under the triggering of the driving reminder signal, and the passengers in the vehicle can recognize the driving reminder signal displayed by the atmosphere light after seeing the luminous light of the atmosphere light. For example, one group of atmosphere lights is used to receive collision warning signals. After receiving the collision warning signal, this group of atmosphere lights emits highly saturated red light, and the collision warning signal can also carry distance data. The smaller the distance data, the higher the brightness of the red light emitted by the atmosphere lights. After seeing the light of this group of atmosphere lights, the people in the car realize that the car is speeding. Therefore, this group of atmosphere lights has a driving reminder function that reminds the people in the car that the car is speeding; another group of atmosphere lights is used to receive light color control instructions. After receiving the light color control instructions, this group of atmosphere lights emits lights of the color corresponding to the light color control instructions, such as red, green, and yellow lights. After seeing the light of this group of atmosphere lights, the people in the car can understand the current status of the traffic lights facing the car. Therefore, this group of atmosphere lights has a driving reminder function that reminds the people in the car of the current status of the traffic lights.

[0044] In the following embodiments, a plurality of passenger seats are arranged in the vehicle compartment, including a driver seat and a co-pilot seat in the front row, and other passenger seats in the back row. When a passenger sits in a passenger seat in a normal sitting posture, the passenger's field of view is the passenger field of view area corresponding to the passenger seat. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the front windshield, dashboard and part of the interior of the car. Figure 3 The left part is a schematic diagram of the interior of the right front door in the car. Figure 3The right part is a schematic diagram of the interior of the right rear door in the car. Figure 4 The left part is a schematic diagram of the front trim panel inside the car. Figure 4 The right part is a schematic diagram of the center trim panel in the car; Figure 1 The shaded area shown and Figure 4 The shaded area of ​​the front fascia shown on the left is the passenger field of view corresponding to the driver's seat. Figure 2 The shaded area shown and Figure 3 The shaded area of ​​the right front door shown on the left is the passenger's field of view corresponding to the front passenger seat; Figure 3 The shaded area of ​​the right rear door shown on the right and Figure 4 The shaded area of ​​the center trim shown on the right is the passenger's field of view corresponding to the right rear passenger seat.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 When a passenger sits in a passenger seat in a normal sitting posture, it is easy to observe the passenger field of view area corresponding to this passenger seat.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] In this embodiment, the location where each group of ambient lights is to be installed is determined according to the driving reminder function of the ambient lights and the location of the passenger's visual field area.

[0048] Specifically, taking the above-mentioned collision warning function atmosphere light, speeding reminder function atmosphere light and traffic light status prompt atmosphere light as examples, collision warning is relatively the most urgent, and speeding reminder is the second most urgent. Since the driver himself is also able to observe the status of the traffic light with the naked eye, the urgency of the traffic light status prompt is relatively the lowest. In this embodiment, the collision warning function atmosphere light can be installed in Figure 1 The shaded area shown is a passenger field of view corresponding to the driver's seat. When the collision warning function ambient light receives the collision warning signal and sends out a corresponding driving reminder signal, the driver sitting in the driver's seat can promptly notice the driving reminder signal sent by the collision warning function ambient light and take timely measures to prevent the occurrence of a collision. The speeding reminder function ambient light can be installed in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The shaded area shown is the passenger field of view corresponding to the front passenger seat and the rear passenger seat. When the speeding reminder function ambient light receives the speeding warning signal and sends out the corresponding driving reminder signal, the passengers sitting in the front passenger seat and the rear passenger seat can notice the driving reminder signal sent by the speeding reminder function ambient light and can remind the driver to slow down. The speeding reminder function ambient light can be installed in Figure 4The shaded area shown in the figure has a smaller area of ​​the occupant's field of vision, and generally requires the driver or other occupants to raise their heads, lower their heads or turn their heads to observe it, so it receives relatively less attention from the occupants. The traffic light status prompt atmosphere light can display the least urgent traffic light status. When the traffic light status prompt atmosphere light receives a light color control instruction and displays a light color synchronized with the current traffic light status, the occupants can notice the light color emitted by the traffic light status prompt atmosphere light, and thus understand the occurrence of events such as the red light turning green, and can remind the driver to start driving in time, which helps to make traffic smoother.

[0049] In this embodiment, when a set of ambient lights is installed in a passenger's field of vision, the lamp beads of this set of ambient lights can be installed in this passenger's field of vision, or the lamp beads of this set of ambient lights can be installed in other areas so that the light of the lamp beads can be projected into this passenger's field of vision.

[0050] In this embodiment, by installing the ambient light in an appropriate occupant field of view according to the urgency of the driving reminder function of the ambient light and the attention paid to the occupant field of view, the driver and other occupants in the vehicle can fully pay attention to the ambient light, thereby transmitting a driving reminder signal, prompting the driver to refer to the driving reminder signal for driving operations, so that the ambient light plays a role in assisting driving and improving driving safety.

[0051] In this embodiment, the automotive atmosphere lighting system further includes a plurality of passenger detection modules, and the number of the passenger detection modules may be the same as the number of passenger seats, so that each passenger seat may be equipped with an passenger detection module. Specifically, a pressure sensor may be used as the passenger detection module, and the pressure sensor may be installed under the seat cushion of the passenger seat to measure the pressure on the seat cushion of the passenger seat. Each pressure sensor is connected to the ECU via a data bus, so as to send the measured pressure data to the ECU.

[0052] The ECU uses the pressure data measured by the pressure sensor to determine whether the pressure on the seat cushion of the passenger seat has reached a threshold. When the pressure on the seat cushion of the passenger seat has reached the threshold, the ECU determines that the passenger seat where the pressure sensor is located is occupied; otherwise, the ECU determines that the passenger seat where the pressure sensor is located is unoccupied.

[0053] In this embodiment, the seat belt sensor installed on the car itself can also be used as the passenger detection module. When the ECU detects that the seat belt of a passenger seat is used through the seat belt sensor on the passenger seat, the ECU determines that the passenger seat is occupied, otherwise it determines that the passenger seat is unoccupied.

[0054] In this embodiment, if the ECU detects that a passenger seat is occupied through the passenger detection module, the ECU controls the ambient light installed in the field of view corresponding to the passenger seat to turn on. Specifically, the ECU sends a driving reminder signal to the ambient light, so that the ambient light can realize its own driving reminder function.

[0055] In this embodiment, if the ECU detects that a passenger seat is occupied through the passenger detection module, the ECU controls the ambient light installed in the field of view corresponding to the passenger seat to turn off. Specifically, the ECU may no longer send a driving reminder signal to this set of ambient lights, so that the ambient light does not perform its own driving reminder function, or cut off the power supply to this set of ambient lights, so that this set does not emit light at all, thereby achieving energy saving and avoiding light interference in the car.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] In this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The passenger vision areas shown by the shadows are respectively equipped with ambient lights. Among them, one passenger vision area can be equipped with multiple sets of ambient lights with different functions, such as Figure 1 In the passenger field of view area corresponding to the driver's seat shown, multiple groups of atmosphere lights with different functions, such as collision warning function atmosphere lights, speeding reminder function atmosphere lights and traffic light status prompt atmosphere lights, can be installed. At the same time, only some of the atmosphere lights can be illuminated under the control of the ECU, and the other atmosphere lights will not work.

[0058] In this embodiment, an ambient light with general functions can also be used. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Different ambient lights installed in the passenger visual area shown by the shadows may have the same hardware structure, and the ambient lights perform corresponding functions according to the driving reminder signal received from the ECU. For example, when a group of ambient lights receives a collision warning driving reminder signal, it will display lights for collision warning, thus becoming a collision warning function ambient light; when the group of ambient lights receives a speeding reminder driving reminder signal, it will display lights for speeding reminder, thus becoming a speeding reminder function ambient light.

[0059] In this embodiment, after generating multiple driving reminder signals, the ECU first determines the priority of each passenger's field of vision, and then distributes each driving reminder signal to the ambient light installed in each passenger's field of vision according to the priority of each passenger's field of vision, and controls each ambient light to operate according to the distributed driving reminder signal.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the ECU allocates driving reminder signals to each ambient light according to the priority of each passenger's visual field area, it can first determine the emergency level of each driving reminder signal according to the driving reminder function corresponding to each driving reminder signal. For example, among the three driving reminder signals of collision warning, speeding reminder and traffic light status reminder, the emergency level of collision warning is the highest, the emergency level of speeding reminder is medium, and the emergency level of traffic light status reminder is the lowest.

[0061] The ECU can write three driving reminder signals, namely collision warning, speeding reminder and traffic light status reminder, into a data queue, and then read them out from the data queue in order of emergency level from high to low. First, the driving reminder signal of collision warning is read out, and it is assigned and sent to the atmosphere light corresponding to the occupant's field of view with the highest priority; then the driving reminder signal of speeding reminder is read out, and it is assigned and sent to the atmosphere light corresponding to the occupant's field of view with the second highest priority, and it can also be assigned and sent to the atmosphere light corresponding to the occupant's field of view with the highest priority; finally, the driving reminder signal of traffic light status reminder is read out, and it is assigned and sent to the atmosphere light corresponding to the occupant's field of view with the lowest priority, and it can also be assigned and sent to the atmosphere light corresponding to the occupant's field of view with the highest priority, and the atmosphere light corresponding to the occupant's field of view with the second highest priority.

[0062] In this embodiment, the ECU can directly determine the priority of the passenger visual field area according to the position of the passenger seat corresponding to the passenger visual field area in the car. For example, in this embodiment, priority levels such as priority 1, priority 2, priority 3 and priority 4 are set in descending order. For the passenger visual field area corresponding to the driver's seat, it is determined to have priority 1, that is, the highest priority; for the passenger visual field area corresponding to the co-pilot seat, it is determined to have priority 2, that is, the second highest priority; for the passenger seat farther from the front row, the passenger seat is determined to have a lower priority, for example, for the passenger visual field area corresponding to the passenger seat in the second row, it is determined to have priority 3, that is, the second lowest priority; for the passenger visual field area corresponding to the passenger seat in the fourth row, it is determined to have priority 4, that is, the lowest priority.

[0063] In this embodiment, the ECU can first detect whether each passenger seat is occupied by someone through the passenger detection module, and assign no priority or the lowest priority to the passenger visual area corresponding to the unoccupied passenger seat; for the passenger visual area corresponding to the occupied passenger seat, the priority of the passenger visual area is determined according to the position of the corresponding passenger seat in the car. In this way, the driving reminder signal can be preferentially assigned to the ambient light installed in the passenger visual area corresponding to the occupied passenger seat, avoiding the driving reminder signal being assigned to the unoccupied area, which makes the ambient light work ineffective.

[0064] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 Taking the driver's seat, the co-pilot seat and the right rear seat in the car as an example, the passenger field of view corresponding to the driver's seat has the highest priority, and the occupant field of view corresponding to the driver's seat (such as Figure 1 The ambient light 1 in the shaded area shown in the figure can receive the most urgent collision warning driving reminder signal. After the ambient light 1 here displays the collision warning driving reminder signal, the driver can pay attention to it in time and make appropriate driving response.

[0065] Reference Figure 5 The passenger visual area corresponding to the co-pilot seat has the second highest priority, and the passenger visual area corresponding to the co-pilot seat (such as Figure 2 The shaded area shown, and Figure 3 The ambient light at the shadow area of ​​the right front door shown on the left can receive the speeding reminder driving reminder signal with the second highest urgency. After the ambient light here displays the speeding reminder driving reminder signal, it can be noticed in time by the passenger sitting in the front passenger seat, so that the passenger sitting in the front passenger seat can indirectly remind the driver to make appropriate driving response. The speeding reminder driving reminder signal can be sent to the ambient light 1 installed in the passenger's field of vision area corresponding to the driver's seat, so as to avoid the driver being disturbed by the driving reminder signal with low urgency. You can also refer to Figure 5 As shown by the dotted arrow in the figure, the speeding reminder driving reminder signal is sent to the ambient light 1 installed in the passenger visual area corresponding to the driver's seat, so that the driver can also pay attention to the speeding reminder driving reminder signal.

[0066] Reference Figure 5 The passenger field of view area corresponding to the right rear passenger seat has the lowest priority, and the passenger field of view area corresponding to the right rear passenger seat (such as Figure 3 The ambient light at the shadow area of ​​the right rear door (shown on the right) can receive the traffic light status prompt driving reminder signal with the lowest urgency. After the ambient light here displays the traffic light status prompt driving reminder signal, it can be promptly noticed by the occupant sitting in the right rear passenger seat, so that the occupant sitting in the right rear passenger seat can indirectly remind the driver to make appropriate driving response. The speeding reminder driving reminder signal may not be sent to the ambient light 1 installed in the occupant field of view corresponding to the driver's seat or the ambient light 2 installed in the occupant field of view corresponding to the co-pilot seat, so as to avoid the driver and co-pilot occupants being disturbed by driving reminder signals with low urgency. You can also refer to Figure 5As shown by the dotted arrows in FIG, the traffic light status prompt driving reminder signal is sent to the ambient light 1 installed at the passenger visual area corresponding to the driver's seat and the ambient light 2 installed at the passenger visual area corresponding to the co-pilot seat, so that the driver and co-pilot passengers can also pay attention to the traffic light status prompt driving reminder signal.

[0067] In this embodiment, a passenger identity recognition module can be set as a component of the automobile atmosphere lighting system. The passenger identity recognition module is connected to the ECU through a data bus and installed in the corresponding passenger seat to detect the identity of the passenger sitting in the passenger seat.

[0068] Specifically, a camera with a face recognition function can be used as an occupant identification module, and the camera can be installed at a specific position such as a co-pilot seat or a rear right seat. When the camera is installed on the co-pilot seat, the camera can be installed at the interior position directly opposite the co-pilot seat, so that the camera can capture the facial image of the occupant sitting on the co-pilot seat; when the camera is installed on the rear right seat, the camera can be installed on the back of the co-pilot seat directly opposite the rear right seat, so that the camera can capture the facial image of the occupant sitting on the rear right seat. The facial image information of a specific person (such as a car owner or a person with rich driving experience) can be pre-registered in the ECU, and the ECU can read the facial image information captured by the camera installed on the specific occupant seat, and compare it with the pre-registered facial image information. When the comparison matches, the ECU determines that the specific person is sitting on the occupant seat, thereby determining the identity of the occupant sitting on the occupant seat, that is, whether the occupant sitting on the occupant seat is a specific person or not.

[0069] In this embodiment, a pressure sensor can also be used as an occupant identification module. As described in Example 1, the pressure sensor can be installed under the seat cushion of the occupant seat to measure the pressure on the occupant seat. The weight information of a specific person (such as a car owner or a person with rich driving experience) can be pre-registered in the ECU. The ECU can read the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor installed in each occupant seat and compare it with the pre-registered weight information. When the comparison matches, the ECU determines that a specific person is sitting in the occupant seat, thereby determining the identity of the occupant sitting in the occupant seat, that is, whether the occupant sitting in the occupant seat is a specific person or not.

[0070] In this embodiment, the ECU can determine the priority of the passenger visual field area corresponding to the passenger seat according to the identity of the passenger sitting in the passenger seat. In this way, no matter where the passenger seat occupied by a specific person is located, the passenger visual field area corresponding to the passenger seat occupied by the specific person has a determined priority.

[0071] Specifically, the ECU can determine the priority of the passenger field of view corresponding to the driver's seat as the highest, and determine the priority of the passenger field of view corresponding to the passenger seat where a specific person is sitting as the highest or the second highest. When the specific person is sitting in his passenger seat, he will be able to receive the driving reminder signal with the highest or second highest urgency in time by observing the ambient light in his passenger field of view, so that the specific person can remind or correct the driver's driving behavior in time, ensure driving safety, and facilitate the specific person's driving teaching or coaching to the driver.

[0072] The automotive atmosphere light system in this embodiment can also realize the functions of the automotive atmosphere light system in embodiment 1, that is, by installing the atmosphere light in the appropriate passenger field of view according to the urgency of the driving reminder function of the atmosphere light and the attention paid to the passenger field of view, the attention of the driver and other passengers on the vehicle to the atmosphere light can be fully called, thereby transmitting a driving reminder signal, prompting the driver to refer to the driving reminder signal for driving operations, so that the atmosphere light plays a role in assisting driving and improving driving safety. And on the basis of realizing the functions of the automotive atmosphere light system in embodiment 1, the driving reminder signal is allocated to each atmosphere light according to the priority of the passenger field of view, and the dynamic allocation of the functions of each atmosphere light can be realized according to factors such as the passenger's seating position and driving experience level, so as to realize the intelligent control of the automotive atmosphere light.

[0078] S4. Control each ambient light to operate according to the assigned driving reminder signal.

[0079] Steps S1-S4 can be executed by an ECU or a control module specially set up for the automotive atmosphere light system.
