[0020] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the in-vehicle device according to Embodiment 3 of the present disclosure. Detailed Embodiments

[0021] The present disclosure will be further described below by way of examples, but the present disclosure is not limited to the scope of the described examples.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] A vehicle control method, as Figure 1 shown, includes the following steps:

[0024] Step 10: Set a preset driving operation;

[0025] Step 20: Monitor whether the vehicle driving state meets the preset conditions. If so, execute Step 30 and Step 50; if not, continue to monitor, and the monitoring time period can be set as needed.

[0026] Among them, the preset conditions include: the distance between the vehicle and the target object is within the preset distance range, and the current driving operation belongs to the preset driving operation;

[0027] It should be noted that for the monitoring of whether there is a target object within the preset distance range, the captured image can be obtained through the in-vehicle camera, and the captured image can be recognized and analyzed to determine whether there is a target object within the preset distance range. After the target object is recognized in the image, the distance data can also be determined by combining devices such as distance sensors. The target object information around the road can also be judged according to the road camera in the V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) system.

[0028] Step 30: Trigger a control signal corresponding to the current driving operation;

[0029] It should be noted that a mapping control table can be set in the vehicle-mounted controller. When different preset driving operations are met, different control signals are correspondingly set. During the vehicle driving process, once the monitoring meets one item in the mapping control table, the corresponding control signal is triggered.

[0030] Step 40: Control the vehicle to execute the target driving operation according to the corresponding control signal to reduce the external output signal of the vehicle. The external output signal refers to the signals such as sound or light that are actively generated by the vehicle during operation or passively generated by the driver's operation and have an interfering effect on the outside world.

[0031] Step 50: Generate a prompt message, which is used to remind that a target object is detected within the preset distance range of the vehicle.

[0032] It should be noted that the prompt message is prompted when a target object is detected within the monitored distance range, and the form of the prompt message can be text, image, voice or any combination of forms.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the user encounters an animal or a possible collision situation while driving, considering the existing driving state of the vehicle or the emergency response based on the possible collision situation, the preset driving operations include, but are not limited to, accelerating, honking the horn, turning on the headlights, etc. When it is monitored that the current driving operation belongs to the preset driving operation, different controls are performed on the vehicle for different preset driving operations, specifically including:

[0034] When the preset driving operation is accelerating, providing the first possible implementation manner of this embodiment, step 40 specifically includes the following implementation manners:

[0035] Control the acceleration time of the vehicle to be extended according to the control signal so that the sound decibel of the vehicle engine is less than the preset decibel threshold; or control the motor simulation sound output of the vehicle to be turned off according to the control signal.

[0036] It should be noted that for different types of vehicles, the source of the sound generated during the acceleration process is different. For fuel vehicles, the sound is generated by the vehicle engine during fuel acceleration. The decibel of the vehicle engine can be reduced by extending the acceleration time of the vehicle, that is, after stepping on the accelerator pedal, delaying the fuel supply. The monitoring of the sound decibel can be achieved by setting up equipment such as a decibel detector. For electric vehicles, the sound is simulated and emitted by the vehicle control device. At this time, directly turning off the motor simulation sound output can achieve the above purpose. The above implementation manners can reduce or eliminate the influence of the sound noise caused by vehicle acceleration on the target object.

[0037] When the preset driving operation includes honking the horn, providing the second possible implementation manner of this embodiment, step 40 specifically includes the following implementation manners:

[0038] Control the horn sound output of the vehicle to be turned off according to the control signal.

[0039] The above implementation manners can eliminate the influence of the sound noise caused by honking the horn on the target object.

[0040] When the preset driving operation includes turning on the headlights, providing the third possible implementation manner of this embodiment, step 40 specifically includes the following implementation manners:

[0041] Obtain an external vehicle image containing the target object;

[0042] Obtain the distance between the target object and the vehicle according to the external vehicle image;

[0043] Control and adjust the light irradiation range and / or light irradiation intensity of the headlights according to the distance between the target object and the vehicle and the control signal.

[0044] It should be noted that in addition to obtaining the distance between the target object and the vehicle through image analysis, the distance between the target object and the vehicle can also be obtained through a distance sensor. After obtaining the distance, the current irradiation parameters of the vehicle lamp can be obtained, and target irradiation parameters can be generated based on the distance and the current irradiation parameters. The parameters of the vehicle lamp can be controlled and adjusted to the target irradiation parameters according to the control signal. The irradiation parameters include, but are not limited to, irradiation intensity and irradiation range.

[0045] When turning on the vehicle lamp includes turning on the high beam lamp, a possible fourth implementation manner of this embodiment is provided. Step 40 specifically includes the following implementation manners:

[0046] Control the high beam lamp of the vehicle to be turned off according to the control signal.

[0047] It should be noted that if traveling at night, the high beam lamp can also be controlled to be adjusted to the low beam lamp. The above implementation manners can reduce the influence of the vehicle's light on the target object.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the distance between the vehicle and the target object is within the preset distance range and the current driving operation belongs to the preset driving operation, it is determined that the driving state of the vehicle meets the preset conditions, and then a control signal corresponding to the current driving operation is triggered to control the vehicle to perform the target driving operation, thereby reducing or even eliminating the external output signal of the vehicle, so as to avoid the loss of control of animals or the like caused by the driving behavior during driving, which may cause traffic accidents and is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle.

[0049] Embodiment 2

[0050] A vehicle control system, as Figure 2 shown, includes a preset module 1, a monitoring module 2, a triggering module 3, and a control module 4;

[0051] The preset module 1 is used to set the preset driving operation;

[0052] The monitoring module 2 is used to monitor whether the driving state of the vehicle meets the preset conditions. The preset conditions include: the distance between the vehicle and the target object is within the preset distance range, and the current driving operation belongs to the preset driving operation;

[0053] It should be noted that for the monitoring of whether there is a target object within the preset distance range, the captured image can be obtained through an in-vehicle camera, and the captured image can be recognized and analyzed to determine whether there is a target object within the preset distance range. After the target object is recognized in the image, the determination of the distance data can also be realized in combination with devices such as a distance sensor. The information of the target object around the road can also be judged according to the road camera in the V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) system.

[0054] When the driving state of the vehicle meets the preset conditions, the triggering module 3 is used to trigger a control signal corresponding to the current driving operation;

[0055] It should be noted that a mapping control table can be set in the vehicle-mounted controller. When different preset driving operations are met, different control signals are correspondingly set. During the driving process of the vehicle, once the monitoring conforms to a certain item in the mapping control table, the corresponding control signal is triggered.

[0056] The control module 4 is used to control the vehicle to perform the target driving operation according to the corresponding control signal, so as to reduce the external output signal of the vehicle. The external output signal refers to signals such as sound or light that are actively generated by the vehicle during operation or passively generated by the driver's operation and have an interfering effect on the outside world.

[0057] In this embodiment, the vehicle control system further includes a prompting module 5, which is used to generate a prompt message for reminding that a target object is detected within a preset distance range of the vehicle.

[0058] It should be noted that the prompt message is prompted when a target object is detected within the monitored distance range, and the form of the prompt message can be text, image, voice or any combination of forms.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the user encounters an animal or a possible collision situation during driving, considering the existing driving state of the vehicle or the emergency response based on the possible collision situation, the setting of the preset driving operation includes but is not limited to accelerating, honking the horn, turning on the headlights, etc. When it is monitored that the current driving operation belongs to the preset driving operation, different controls are performed on the vehicle for different preset driving operations, specifically including:

[0060] When the preset driving operation includes accelerating, the control module 4 is used to control to extend the acceleration time of the vehicle according to the control signal so that the sound decibel of the vehicle engine is less than the preset decibel threshold; or control to turn off the motor simulation sound output of the vehicle according to the control signal.

[0061] It should be noted that for different types of vehicles, the source of the sound generated during the acceleration process of the vehicle is different. For fuel vehicles, the sound is generated by the vehicle engine during fuel acceleration. The sound decibel of the vehicle engine can be reduced by extending the acceleration time of the vehicle, that is, after stepping on the accelerator, delaying the fuel supply. The monitoring of the sound decibel can be achieved by setting equipment such as a decibel detector. For electric vehicles, the sound is simulated and emitted by the vehicle control device. At this time, directly turning off the motor simulation sound output can reduce or eliminate the impact of the sound noise caused by acceleration on the target object.

[0062] When the preset driving operation includes honking the horn, the control module 4 is used to control the vehicle to turn off the horn sound output according to the control signal.

[0063] The above implementation method can eliminate the influence of the sound noise caused by the vehicle honking on the target object.

[0064] When the preset driving operation includes turning on the vehicle lights, the vehicle control system further includes a photographing device;

[0065] The photographing device is used to obtain an external vehicle image including the target object; and

[0066] The control module 4 is used to obtain the distance between the target object and the vehicle according to the external vehicle image, and control and adjust the light irradiation range and / or light irradiation intensity of the vehicle lights according to the distance between the target object and the vehicle and the control signal.

[0067] It should be noted that in addition to obtaining the distance between the target object and the vehicle through image analysis, the distance between the target object and the vehicle can also be obtained through a distance sensor. After obtaining the distance, the current irradiation parameters of the vehicle lights can be obtained, target irradiation parameters can be generated according to the distance and the current irradiation parameters, and the parameters of the vehicle lights can be controlled and adjusted to the target irradiation parameters according to the control signal. The irradiation parameters include but are not limited to the irradiation intensity and irradiation range.

[0068] When turning on the vehicle lights includes turning on the high beam lights, the control module 4 is used to control the vehicle to turn off the high beam lights according to the control signal.

[0069] It should be noted that if traveling at night, the high beam lights can also be controlled to be adjusted to low beam lights. The above implementation method can reduce the influence of the vehicle lights on the target object.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the monitoring module 2 monitors that the vehicle satisfies that the distance between the vehicle and the target object is within the preset distance range, and the current driving operation belongs to the preset driving operation, it is determined that the driving state of the vehicle satisfies the preset conditions, and then a control signal corresponding to the current driving operation is triggered, so that the control module 4 controls the vehicle to perform the target driving operation, thereby reducing or even eliminating the external output signal of the vehicle, avoiding the loss of control of animals, etc. caused by driving behaviors during driving, which may cause traffic accidents, and is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle.
