Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a method and device for controlling vehicle interior lights, a vehicle, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Vehicle interior lights, including dome lights, reading lights, door lights, threshold lights, and footwell lights, are typically turned on and off when the vehicle's doors are opened, closed, unlocked, or locked. The battery provides power to the vehicle. While the vehicle's engine is off, power-consuming operations such as turning on the interior lights may occur. To prevent battery depletion, existing technology uses a method where, when the vehicle's engine is off and the power supply to the interior lights is normal, the lights are turned off after a set delay when the vehicle's doors are closed. This prevents battery depletion caused by users forgetting to turn off the interior lights.

[0039] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are provided for purposes of illustration, not limitation, to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, specific embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Figure 1 The following is a flowchart of a method for controlling a vehicle interior light according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] Step 101: When a vehicle interior light lighting instruction is received and the battery power is greater than or equal to a preset power level, the vehicle interior light is controlled to gradually light up.

[0043] It is understandable that in step 101, before receiving the vehicle interior light lighting instruction, the vehicle interior light is in an off state or in the process of gradually turning off. In this embodiment, the vehicle interior light state can include an off state, gradually turning on, a lighting state, and gradually turning off.

[0044] The vehicle interior light lighting command can be triggered by the opening, closing, unlocking, or locking of the vehicle door. Therefore, when the vehicle interior light lighting command is received, if the battery charge is greater than or equal to the preset charge, it means that the battery is not in a power-saving state, and the vehicle interior lights can be controlled to gradually light up normally. At the same time, the delayed interior light extinguishing timer is performed. In this embodiment, when the vehicle interior light power-saving control is performed, the delayed interior light extinguishing timer function is still maintained, that is, the delayed interior light extinguishing timer is not interrupted. The delayed interior light extinguishing timer is a timer that automatically controls the vehicle interior light extinguishing. When the battery is not in a power-saving state, the vehicle interior lights are controlled to gradually turn off when the delayed interior light extinguishing timer expires. However, when the battery is in a power-saving state, that is, when the battery charge is less than the preset charge, power-saving control is required to prevent the vehicle interior lights from continuing to light up and consuming battery power, resulting in the vehicle being unable to power on.

[0045] The vehicle interior lights have a delayed extinguishing function, which can be divided into two types: power-saving delay and interior light delay. Both of them turn off the interior lights when the delay timer expires. Among them, power-saving delay means that after the door is opened, the power-saving delay timer starts, and when the door is closed or the vehicle is unlocked, the interior light delay timer starts. Figure 2 The delay timing diagram shown shows that when the vehicle is powered on, the power delay mode is ON, and no delay processing is performed. When the vehicle is powered off, the power delay mode is OFF, and delay processing is performed. A check is performed to see if the power-saving delay conditions are met, that is, whether the vehicle door is open. When the door is open, power-saving delay timing is performed. During power-saving delay timing, if the vehicle door is closed and a command to turn on the interior lights is received, if the battery charge meets the conditions, the interior lights are turned on, and interior light delay timing is performed. During power-saving delay timing or interior light delay timing, if the power delay mode changes, that is, the power delay mode switches from OFF to ON, the delay function is disabled. It should be noted that when delay timing is required, either the power-saving delay condition or the interior light delay condition must be met. In addition, if both the power-saving delay condition and the interior light delay condition are met, timing will restart when the latter condition is met.

[0046] It should be noted that the vehicle interior light on command needs to be continuously detected until the vehicle interior light off command is received. This allows the vehicle interior light status to be updated promptly when the vehicle battery charge level changes. When the vehicle interior light on command is received again, the vehicle battery charge level is re-determined to determine whether to turn on the vehicle interior light based on the battery charge level. This prevents the vehicle from being unable to power on due to continued lighting of the vehicle interior light and consumption of battery power.

[0047] Step 102 : During the process of lighting the interior lights of the vehicle, the interior lights of the vehicle are controlled to be gradually extinguished or fully lit according to the power level of the battery.

[0048] During the lighting process of the vehicle interior lights, the vehicle interior lights need to be controlled according to the power level of the battery, so the power level of the battery needs to be detected.

[0049] Optionally, during the process of lighting the interior lights of the vehicle, if it is detected that the battery power is less than a preset power, the interior lights of the vehicle are controlled to be turned off; during the process of lighting the interior lights of the vehicle, if it is detected that the battery power is greater than or equal to the preset power, the interior lights of the vehicle are controlled to be fully lit.

[0050] If the battery charge level is lower than the preset level, indicating a battery depletion, the vehicle interior lights are restricted from lighting to prevent battery depletion, and the vehicle enters power-saving mode, gradually dimming the interior lights. Conversely, if the battery charge level is greater than or equal to the preset level, indicating sufficient battery charge to support the interior lights, the vehicle interior lights are gradually illuminated, then fully illuminated and remain illuminated.

[0051] When the vehicle interior lights are on or fully on, and the battery charge is greater than or equal to the preset charge, the vehicle interior lights may be controlled to gradually turn off. That is, when the vehicle interior lights turn off command is received or the delayed interior lights turn off timer ends, the vehicle interior lights are controlled to gradually turn off.

[0052] When the vehicle interior lights are turned off because the battery power is less than the preset power, the vehicle interior lights may be turned off by a command or the delayed interior lights turning off timer may expire. Therefore, when the vehicle interior lights are turned off by a command or the delayed interior lights turning off timer expires, the vehicle interior lights need to be kept off.

[0053] Step 103 : When the interior lights of the vehicle are off, the interior lights of the vehicle are controlled to gradually light up or remain off according to the power level of the battery.

[0054] When the vehicle interior lights are off due to insufficient battery power, they may re-light due to sufficient battery power. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the battery power level during the vehicle interior lights off process so that different interior light control methods can be implemented based on the battery power level. The control of the vehicle interior lights is also related to the timer for the delayed interior light off. When the delayed interior light off timer expires, the vehicle interior lights will be turned off even if the battery power is sufficient to illuminate the vehicle interior lights. If the delayed interior light off timer has not expired, the vehicle interior lights will re-light if the battery power is sufficient to illuminate the vehicle interior lights.

[0055] Optionally, during the process of turning off the interior lights of the vehicle, the interior lights of the vehicle are controlled to gradually light up or remain off according to the battery power and the time of the delayed turning off timer.

[0056] Furthermore, when the interior lights of the vehicle are turned off, if it is detected that the battery power is greater than or equal to the preset power and the timer for delaying turning off the interior lights has not ended, the interior lights of the vehicle are controlled to gradually light up.

[0057] Alternatively, when the vehicle interior lights are turned off, if it is detected that the battery power is greater than or equal to the preset power and the timer for delaying turning off the interior lights ends, the vehicle interior lights are controlled to remain off.

[0058] If the battery level of the vehicle is less than the preset level, the vehicle enters the power saving mode; if the battery level of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the preset level, the vehicle exits the power saving mode or is not in the power saving mode.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a flow chart of a method for controlling interior lights of a vehicle, which is described in detail as follows.

[0060] When the vehicle interior lights are off, upon receiving a vehicle interior lights lighting command and not in power saving mode, the vehicle interior lights are controlled to light up gradually, and a timer for delaying the interior lights off is started;

[0061] When the vehicle interior lights are gradually lighting up, if no vehicle interior lights off command is received, the delayed interior lights off timer ends, or the battery power level is lower than the preset power level, the vehicle interior lights will be fully lit.

[0062] When the vehicle interior lights are in the process of gradually lighting up or in the lighting state, if the vehicle enters the power saving mode, that is, when the battery power is lower than the preset power level message, the vehicle interior lights are controlled to gradually turn off;

[0063] When the interior lights of the vehicle are gradually turned off, if the timer for delaying turning off the interior lights has not ended and the power saving mode is exited, the interior lights of the vehicle are controlled to light up gradually, otherwise the interior lights of the vehicle are completely turned off.

[0064] When the vehicle interior lights are off, that is, in power saving mode, upon receiving a command to turn off the vehicle interior lights or the end of the delayed turning off timer, the vehicle interior lights remain off; if the delayed turning off timer has not ended and the power saving mode is exited, the vehicle interior lights are controlled to gradually light up.

[0065] When the vehicle interior lights are in the process of gradually lighting up or in the lighting state, upon receiving a vehicle interior light turning-off instruction or the timer for delaying turning off the interior lights ends, the vehicle interior lights are controlled to be gradually turned off.

[0066] During the process of gradually turning off the vehicle interior lights, when a vehicle interior light lighting instruction is received and the vehicle is not in the power saving mode, the vehicle interior lights are controlled to gradually light up; otherwise, the vehicle interior lights are completely turned off.

[0067] The above-described vehicle interior light control method controls the vehicle interior lights to gradually illuminate upon receiving a vehicle interior light illumination command and detecting that the battery charge is greater than or equal to a preset charge. During the vehicle interior light illumination process, the vehicle interior lights are gradually illuminated or fully illuminated based on the battery charge. During the vehicle interior light extinguishing process, the vehicle interior lights are gradually illuminated or remain extinguished based on the battery charge. This method can thus control the illumination and extinguishing of the vehicle interior lights based on the real-time detected battery charge, conserving power by limiting the illumination of the vehicle interior lights and preventing battery depletion caused by the illumination of the vehicle interior lights, which could result in the vehicle being unable to power on. Furthermore, if the vehicle interior lights are extinguished due to the battery charge being less than the preset charge, and the battery charge recovers to a level sufficient for illuminating the interior lights, the vehicle interior lights automatically illuminate or remain extinguished based on the vehicle's current delayed interior light extinguishing timer, without requiring any additional operation. This ensures that the vehicle can be started and enhances the user experience.

[0068] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0069] The following are device embodiments of the present invention. For details not fully described therein, reference may be made to the corresponding method embodiments described above.

[0070] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle interior light control device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. For ease of explanation, only the parts related to the embodiment of the present invention are shown, which are described in detail as follows:

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the control device for vehicle interior lights includes: a receiving module 401 and a control module 402 .

[0072] Receiving module 401 is used to receive a vehicle interior light lighting instruction,

[0073] The control module 402 is configured to control the vehicle interior lights to gradually light up according to the vehicle interior light lighting instruction when the battery power level is greater than or equal to a preset power level;

[0074] The control module 402 is further configured to control the vehicle interior lights to gradually turn off or fully turn on according to the battery power level during the vehicle interior lights lighting process;

[0075] The control module 402 is further configured to control the vehicle interior lights to gradually light up or remain off according to the battery power level when the vehicle interior lights are off.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, the control device for the vehicle interior light further includes: a timing module 403;

[0077] The timing module 403 is used to perform the timing of delaying the turning off of the interior lights.

[0078] The control module 402 is further configured to control the vehicle interior lights to gradually light up or remain off according to the battery power and the time of the delayed interior light off timer during the process of the vehicle interior lights being off.

[0079] In one possible implementation, when the interior lights of the vehicle are turned off, the control module 402 controls the interior lights of the vehicle to gradually turn on or remain off according to the battery power and the time of the delayed interior lights off timer, to:

[0080] When the vehicle interior lights are turned off and it is detected that the battery power is greater than or equal to the preset power and the timer for delaying turning off the interior lights has not ended, the vehicle interior lights are controlled to gradually light up.

[0081] In one possible implementation, the control module 402 controls the vehicle interior lights to gradually light up or remain off according to the battery power and the time of the delayed interior light extinguishing timer during the process of the vehicle interior lights being off. It is used to: during the process of the vehicle interior lights being off, when it is detected that the battery power is greater than or equal to the preset power and the delayed interior light extinguishing timer ends, control the vehicle interior lights to remain off.

[0082] In one possible implementation, when the vehicle interior lights are being turned on, the control module 402 controls the vehicle interior lights to gradually turn off or fully turn on according to the battery charge, to:

[0083] When the vehicle interior lights are on, if it is detected that the battery power is less than the preset power, the vehicle interior lights will be turned off;

[0084] During the process of lighting the interior lights of the vehicle, if it is detected that the battery power is greater than or equal to the preset power, the interior lights of the vehicle are controlled to be fully lit.

[0085] In one possible implementation, upon receiving a vehicle interior light lighting instruction and the battery power level is greater than or equal to a preset power level, the control module 402 controls the vehicle interior light to gradually light up and is further configured to:

[0086] When the vehicle interior lights are on or fully on, and the battery charge is greater than or equal to the preset charge, the vehicle interior lights are controlled to gradually turn off when a command to turn off the vehicle interior lights is received or the delayed turning off timer ends.

[0087] In one possible implementation, when the vehicle interior lights are on, if it is detected that the battery power is less than a preset power, the control module 402 controls the vehicle interior lights to be turned off, and further configured to:

[0088] When the vehicle interior lights extinguishing command is received or the delayed extinguishing timer ends, the vehicle interior lights remain extinguished.

[0089] In the above-mentioned vehicle interior light control device, after the receiving module receives the vehicle interior light lighting command and detects that the battery charge is greater than or equal to a preset charge, the control module controls the vehicle interior light to gradually illuminate. During the vehicle interior light illumination process, the control module controls the vehicle interior light to gradually illuminate or fully illuminate, depending on the battery charge. During the vehicle interior light extinguishing process, the control module controls the vehicle interior light to gradually illuminate or remain extinguished, depending on the battery charge. This allows the vehicle interior light to be illuminated and extinguished based on the real-time battery charge, saving power by limiting the illumination of the vehicle interior light and preventing battery depletion caused by the illumination of the vehicle interior light, which could result in the vehicle being unable to power on. Furthermore, if the vehicle interior light is extinguished due to the battery charge being less than the preset charge, and the battery charge recovers to a level sufficient for illuminating the interior light, the control module controls the vehicle interior light to automatically illuminate or remain extinguished based on the vehicle's delayed extinguishing timer, without requiring any additional operation. This ensures that the vehicle can be started and improves the user experience.
