[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] In this application, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element.

[0042] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling an air outlet of a vehicle. This method can be applied to a control unit of the vehicle. For example, it can be applied to the host HUT of the vehicle. The flowchart of the method is as Figure 1 shown and specifically includes:

[0043] S101: Receive a control operation of the user; the control operation is used to request to close a target air outlet among the respective air outlets of the vehicle air conditioner.

[0044] In this embodiment, the control operation can be a touch operation of the user on a virtual button displayed on a preset touch screen, or a click operation of the user on a mechanical button, or a touch operation of the user on an external device such as a mobile phone connected to the control unit. The touch operation can be a click operation or a swipe operation, etc.

[0045] Optionally, the vehicle air conditioner may include multiple air outlets. The target air outlet can be the air outlet specified by the control operation. The control operation can specify any one or more air outlets among the respective air outlets. That is, the number of target air outlets can be one or more.

[0046] S102: In response to the control operation, if it is determined that the states of all the air outlets in the vehicle except the target air outlet are in a closed state, then output a prompt message; the prompt message is used to prompt the user to keep at least one air outlet open.

[0047] In this embodiment, it is possible to first determine whether the states of the air vents in the vehicle other than the target air vent are all in the closed state. If the states of the air vents in the vehicle other than the target air vent are all in the closed state, a prompt message is output, and a control instruction for closing the target air vent is not output. In some embodiments, it is possible to determine whether the state of the air vent is in the closed state according to the status code of the air vent.

[0048] Applying the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, first receiving a control operation for the user to request to close the target air vent, and then, when it is determined that the states of all the air vents in the vehicle other than the target air vent are all in the closed state, outputting a prompt message for prompting the user to keep at least one air vent open, can effectively avoid problems such as air conditioning performance, frosting in the air duct, and deformation of the air duct due to high temperature caused by all the air vents of the vehicle being closed.

[0049] In an embodiment provided by the present invention, based on the above implementation process, optionally, as Figure 2 shown, the method further includes the following steps:

[0050] S103: In response to the control operation, if it is determined that there are multiple air vents in the vehicle whose states are in the open state, output a control instruction for closing the target air vent.

[0051] In this embodiment, one feasible way to output a control instruction for closing the target air vent is to send the control instruction for closing the target air vent to a preset motor controller, so that the motor controller controls the target air vent to close.

[0052] Optionally, when the number of target air vents is one or more, if it is determined that there is at least one air vent in the vehicle other than the target air vent whose state is in the open state, a control instruction for closing the target air vent can be output.

[0053] In this embodiment, when it is determined that there are multiple air vents in the vehicle whose states are in the open state, outputting a control instruction for closing the target air vent and controlling the target air vent to close according to the user's needs can provide a comfortable environment for the user, improve the user experience, and also effectively avoid problems such as air conditioning performance, frosting in the air duct, and deformation of the air duct due to high temperature caused by all the air vents of the vehicle being closed.

[0054] In an embodiment provided by the present invention, based on the above implementation process, optionally, after outputting a control instruction for closing the target air vent, as Figure 3 shown, the method further includes the following steps:

[0055] S104: Receive the position of the target air-conditioning air outlet sent by a preset motor controller.

[0056] In this embodiment, the motor controller controls the target air-conditioning air outlet to close according to a control instruction, and during the closing process of the target air-conditioning air outlet, feeds back the position of the target air-conditioning air outlet to the HUT.

[0057] S105: Display an air outlet animation according to the position of the target air-conditioning air outlet, where the air outlet animation includes a virtual air-conditioning air outlet, and the position of the virtual air-conditioning air outlet matches the position of the target air-conditioning air outlet.

[0058] In this embodiment, the air outlet animation can be displayed in a display area of the vehicle. The display area can be a display screen, or the air outlet animation can be displayed through a terminal connected to the vehicle.

[0059] By displaying the air outlet animation, it is convenient for the user to observe the working condition of the air-conditioning air outlet. In some scenarios, for example, when the driver of the vehicle controls the rear-row air-conditioning air outlet, it is often inconvenient for the driver to directly observe the condition of the rear-row air-conditioning air outlet. Therefore, displaying the air outlet animation can improve the user experience.

[0060] In an embodiment provided by the present invention, based on the above implementation process, optionally, the process of determining that the states of all the air-conditioning air outlets in the vehicle except the target air-conditioning air outlet are in a closed state is as Figure 4 shown and includes:

[0061] S401: Obtain the operation information in the control operation.

[0062] In this embodiment, the operation information may include a first status code to be set for the target air-conditioning air outlet.

[0063] S402: Set the status code of the target air-conditioning air outlet to a first status code that matches the control operation according to the operation information; and obtain the status codes of all the air-conditioning air outlets except the target air-conditioning air outlet; the status code of each air-conditioning air outlet is set according to the operation information of the historical control operation received in advance for the air-conditioning air outlet.

[0064] The status code in this embodiment can represent that the state of the air-conditioning air outlet is an open state or a closed state; the status code can be one of a first status code and a second status code; the first status code represents that the state of the air-conditioning air outlet is a closed state; the second status code can represent that the state of the air-conditioning air outlet is an open state. Optionally, the first status code can be 1 and the second status code can be 0.

[0065] Optionally, the operation information of the historical control operation includes a first status code or a second status code. If the first status code is included, the historical control operation is used to request closing the air outlet of the air conditioner; if the second status code is included, the historical control operation is used to request opening the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0066] S403: Sum the first status code of the target air outlet of the air conditioner and the status codes of each of the air outlets of the air conditioner to obtain a calculation result.

[0067] Specifically, after setting the status code of the target air outlet of the air conditioner to the first status code and obtaining the status codes of the remaining air outlets of the air conditioner, sum the first status code of the target air outlet of the air conditioner and the status codes of the remaining air outlets of the air conditioner to obtain a calculation result.

[0068] For example, the number of air outlets of the air conditioner in a vehicle is 4, namely air outlet 1, air outlet 2, air outlet 3, and air outlet 4. Among them, air outlet 4 is the target air outlet. If the status codes of air outlet 1, air outlet 2, and air outlet 3 are all the first status code, specifically the value 1, then the status codes of air outlet 1, air outlet 2, air outlet 3, and air outlet 4 can be summed, and the obtained calculation result is 4.

[0069] S404: When the calculation result is equal to a preset threshold, determine that the states of all the air outlets of the vehicle except the target air outlet are in the closed state.

[0070] The threshold in this embodiment may be the number of air outlets of the vehicle air conditioner. For example, if the number of air outlets of the air conditioner in a vehicle is 4, the threshold can be set to 4.

[0071] It should be noted that since the movement speed of the air outlet motor is slow, it takes more than 2 seconds for it to drive the air outlet fan blade to rotate a complete stroke. If the motor controller judges the opening and closing state of the air outlet to implement the full-closed alarm of the air outlet, during the process of closing the fan blades of N - 1 air outlets, the user can still operate the screen to close the Nth air outlet, resulting in all air outlets being closed. Therefore, by applying this embodiment, after receiving the control operation, the status code of the target air outlet of the air conditioner can be set according to the operation information of the control operation, so as to avoid the user misoperating the screen to close the Nth air outlet during the process of closing the fan blades of N - 1 air outlets.

[0072] In an embodiment provided by the present invention, based on the above implementation process, optionally, after outputting the prompt information, it further includes:

[0073] Change the status code of the target air-conditioning air outlet from the first status code to a preset second status code, where the second status code indicates that the target air-conditioning air outlet is in an open state.

[0074] In this embodiment, after setting the status code of the target air-conditioning air outlet to the first status code, if no control instruction is output within a preset time, the status code of the target air-conditioning air outlet can be changed from the first status code to the second status code.

[0075] In some embodiments, the status information of the target air-conditioning air outlet fed back by the motor controller can be received, and the status code of the target air-conditioning air outlet can be adjusted according to the status information of the target air-conditioning air outlet, where the status information of the target air-conditioning air outlet is obtained by the motor controller according to the actual position of the target air-conditioning air outlet; for example, if the target air-conditioning air outlet is in an open state, the status code of the target air-conditioning air outlet can be set to the second status code.

[0076] Since after receiving the user's control operation, the status code of the target air-conditioning air outlet is set to the first status code, and when the target air-conditioning air outlet does not meet the closing condition, in order not to affect the user's subsequent control operations, after outputting a prompt message, the status of the target air-conditioning air outlet can be restored to the second status code, which can ensure the accuracy of the control of the air-conditioning air outlet.

[0077] In an embodiment provided by the present invention, based on the above implementation process, another realizable process for determining that the statuses of all the air-conditioning air outlets in the vehicle except the target air-conditioning air outlet are in a closed state is provided, which specifically includes:

[0078] Obtain the status codes of all the air-conditioning air outlets except the target air-conditioning air outlet; the status code of each air-conditioning air outlet is set according to the operation information of the historical control operation for the air-conditioning air outlet received in advance;

[0079] Determine whether the status codes in the status information of all the air-conditioning air outlets except the target air-conditioning air outlet are all the preset first status codes. If so, determine that the statuses of all the air-conditioning air outlets in the vehicle except the target air-conditioning air outlet are in a closed state.

[0080] In this embodiment, after receiving the historical control operation for each air-conditioning air outlet, the status code of the air-conditioning air outlet can be set according to the operation information in the historical control operation. If the action requested by the historical control operation fails to respond successfully, the status code of the air-conditioning air outlet can be set according to the actual position of the air-conditioning air outlet.

[0081] In this embodiment, by directly determining whether the status codes of each air outlet other than the target air outlet are all the first status code, it is possible to quickly determine whether the target air outlet meets the closing condition, improving the response speed of the control operation.

[0082] In an embodiment provided by the present invention, based on the above implementation process, another process for determining that the status of each air outlet in the vehicle other than the target air outlet is in the closed state is provided, specifically including:

[0083] Obtain the status information of each air outlet sent by a preset motor controller; the status information of each air outlet is obtained by the motor controller according to the actual position of the air outlet.

[0084] Set the status code included in the status information of the target air outlet to the first status code matching the control operation, and sum the first status code of the target air outlet and the status codes in the status information of each air outlet to obtain a calculation result.

[0085] When the calculation result is equal to a preset threshold, it is determined that the status of each air outlet in the vehicle other than the target air outlet is in the closed state.

[0086] In this embodiment, the status information may include a status code.

[0087] Applying the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can accurately determine whether the status of each air outlet other than the target air outlet is in the closed state.

[0088] In some feasible ways, after obtaining the status information of each air outlet, it can be determined whether the status codes in the status information of each air outlet other than the target air outlet are all the first status code. If so, it can be determined that the status of each air outlet in the vehicle other than the target air outlet is in the closed state.

[0089] In an embodiment provided by the present invention, based on the above implementation process, optionally, the outputting of the prompt information includes:

[0090] When it is determined that the vehicle's vehicle power supply is in the on mode and the operation mode of the air conditioner is the face-blowing mode, the prompt information is output.

[0091] In this embodiment, the mode of the vehicle power supply and the operating mode of the air conditioner can be determined first. The mode of the vehicle power supply can be one of the on mode and the off mode. The on mode means that the vehicle power supply is in the ON gear; the operating mode of the air conditioner can include one of the face blowing mode, face blowing foot blowing mode, foot blowing mode, foot blowing defrosting mode and defrosting mode; the state of the air outlet of the air conditioner can be one of the on state and the off state. Among them, when the vehicle power supply is in the on mode, the user can select the operating mode of the vehicle air conditioner.

[0092] If the vehicle's air conditioning is in some modes, for example, the face-blowing mode, the user can control the vehicle's air-conditioning outlets to open or close. This may easily lead to the problem of user misoperation causing all the air-conditioning outlets to be closed. Therefore, when it is determined that the states of all air-conditioning outlets in the vehicle except the target air-conditioning outlet are closed, if it is determined that the vehicle's power supply is in the on mode and the air-conditioning operating mode is the face-blowing mode, a prompt message is output, which can avoid problems such as decreased air-conditioning performance caused by the closure of all the air-conditioning outlets due to user misoperation.

[0093] In some embodiments, the air duct of the air-conditioning outlet in the vehicle can be connected to the outlet of the fragrance storage component, and a switch is provided at the outlet of the fragrance storage component. After receiving the control operation, if the air-conditioning of the vehicle is in some modes, such as foot blowing mode, face blowing foot blowing mode, face blowing mode, etc., and the states of all air-conditioning outlets in the vehicle except the target air-conditioning outlet are closed, it is possible to detect whether the switch of the fragrance storage component is turned on. If the switch of the fragrance storage component is turned on, a prompt message can be output. In this way, it can be avoided that all air-conditioning outlets are closed and unable to release fragrance. By outputting the prompt message, at least one air-conditioning outlet is kept open, so that the fragrance can be diffused through the air-conditioning outlet, which can effectively remove the odor in the vehicle and create a comfortable in-car environment for the user.

[0094] In some embodiments, after receiving a control operation, if the vehicle's air conditioner is in a defrost mode, a defrost and foot-blowing mode, etc., and the states of all the air conditioner outlets in the vehicle except the target air conditioner outlet are in a closed state, it is possible to detect whether the vehicle meets the defrost stop condition. Specifically, it can be determined whether the vehicle meets the defrost stop condition according to the in-vehicle temperature, the outside-vehicle temperature, the in-vehicle humidity, and the outside-vehicle humidity. If the vehicle does not meet the defrost stop condition, a prompt message can be output, so that the vehicle keeps at least one air conditioner outlet open for defrosting. Among them, one implementable way to determine whether the vehicle meets the defrost stop condition according to the in-vehicle temperature, the outside-vehicle temperature, the in-vehicle humidity, and the outside-vehicle humidity is that if the difference between the in-vehicle temperature and the outside-vehicle temperature is greater than a preset difference threshold, and the in-vehicle humidity is greater than a preset humidity threshold, it is determined that the vehicle does not meet the defrost stop condition. Applying the method provided in this embodiment can effectively defrost the vehicle and improve the user's driving experience.

[0095] In this embodiment, one implementable way to determine the operating mode of the air conditioner is as follows: obtain the mode information of the air conditioner fed back by the air conditioner controller, then match the mode information with a preset configuration file to determine the mode identifier that successfully matches the mode information, and finally determine the operating mode of the air conditioner according to the mode identifier.

[0096] For example, when the mode information matches the mode identifier of the face-blowing mode, it is determined that the operating mode of the air conditioner is the face-blowing mode. When the mode information matches the mode identifier of the face-and-foot-blowing mode, it is determined that the operating mode of the air conditioner is the face-and-foot-blowing mode. When the mode information matches the mode identifier of the foot-blowing mode, it is determined that the operating mode of the air conditioner is the foot-blowing mode. When the mode information matches the mode identifier of the foot-and-defrost mode, it is determined that the operating mode of the air conditioner is the foot-and-defrost mode. When the mode information matches the mode identifier of the defrost mode, it is determined that the operating mode of the air conditioner is the defrost mode.

[0138] Output the prompt message when it is determined that the vehicle's overall power supply is in the on mode and the operation mode of the air conditioner is the face-blowing mode.

[0139] An embodiment of the present invention further provides an electronic device, the structural schematic diagram of which is as Figure 6 shown, and specifically includes a memory 601 and one or more instructions 602, where one or more instructions 602 are stored in the memory 601 and are configured to be executed by one or more processors 603 to perform the following operations for the one or more instructions 602:

[0140] Receive a user's control operation; the control operation is used to request to close the target air outlet among all air outlets of the vehicle's air conditioner;

[0141] In response to the control operation, if it is determined that the vehicle's overall power supply is in the on mode, the operation mode of the air conditioner is the face-blowing mode, and the statuses of all air outlets in the vehicle except the target air outlet of the air conditioner are in the closed state, then output a prompt message; the prompt message is used to prompt the user to keep at least one air outlet open.

[0142] The present invention also provides a vehicle including the above electronic device.

[0143] Since the movement speed of the air outlet motor is slow, it takes more than 2 seconds for it to drive the air outlet fan blade to complete a full stroke. If the motor controller determines the opening and closing state of the air outlet to implement the full-closed alarm of the air outlet, it will occur that during the process of closing the N-1 air outlet fan blades, the user can still operate the screen to close the Nth air outlet, resulting in all air outlets being closed.

[0144] In the embodiment of the present invention, the following solutions may be included:

[0145] 1. The user sends an air outlet closing command to the motor controller by operating the HUT.

[0146] 2. The motor controller converts the actual position of the motor into the opening and closing state of the air outlet and feeds it back to the multimedia host.

[0147] 3. When the multimedia host recognizes the command for the user to operate and close the last air outlet, it no longer sends the closing command for the last air outlet and prompts to keep at least one air outlet open.

[0148] See Figure 7 , which is an example diagram of the air outlet control process provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Among them, the user can touch the software switch for opening or closing the air outlet. After the HUT receives the user's control operation, it outputs relevant instructions according to the user's operation. Specifically, if the vehicle power supply mode is in the ON gear, the air conditioner is turned on and in the face-blowing mode, and it is detected that the user operates the software switch for opening / closing the air outlet on the screen, then set the corresponding number of flag bits n according to the number of air outlets, and the sum is N; the HUT performs corresponding actions according to the value of N.

[0149] For example, the vehicle has 4 face-blowing air outlets. When it is detected that the control operation for opening the current air outlet 1 of the air conditioner is performed, the flag bit n 1 =0. When it is detected that the control operation for closing the current air outlet 2 of the air conditioner is performed, the flag bit n 2 =1. When it is detected that the control operation for opening the current air outlet 1 of the air conditioner is performed, the flag bit n 3 =0. When it is detected that the control operation for closing the current air outlet 2 of the air conditioner is performed, the flag bit n 4 =1. Calculate the sum of the flag bits of each air outlet of the air conditioner N=n 1 +n 2 +n 3 +n 4 .

[0150] When N<4, the HUT normally sends the control command for the air outlet of the air conditioner;

[0151] When N = 4, the HUT normally sends the control command for the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0152] The strategy in this embodiment can solve the problem that all the air outlets for face blowing are closed due to improper user operations.
