[0057] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of a second fragrance control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating the steps of a third fragrance control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0059] Figure 4 This is a structural block diagram of a fragrance control device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0060] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0061] This specification provides the operational steps for the methods described in the embodiments or flowcharts, but may include more or fewer operational steps based on conventional or non-inventive labor. In actual system or server product execution, the methods shown in the embodiments or drawings may be executed sequentially or in parallel (e.g., in a parallel processor or multi-threaded processing environment).

[0062] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating the steps of a first fragrance control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes the following steps:

[0063] Step 101: Collect physiological state information of the target user inside the vehicle, external environmental information of the vehicle, and driving status information of the vehicle.

[0064] The target user's physiological state information includes information that reflects the user's emotional state, such as the target user's current facial expressions, actions, and physical signs. The vehicle's external environment information includes information that is unrelated to the vehicle itself, such as the environment of the vehicle's external space and the vehicle's geographical location, but may affect the emotional state of the users inside the vehicle.

[0065] Vehicle driving status information includes information such as vehicle speed, direction, and acceleration, which reflects the vehicle's driving status and may affect the emotional state of the users inside the vehicle.

[0066] In one possible implementation, the collection of physiological state information of the target user inside the vehicle includes:

[0067] Step 1011: Use the in-vehicle camera and infrared sensor to collect image information, video information, and hotspot information of the target user's body;

[0068] Step 1012: Identify and parse the image information, the video information, and the hotspot area information to obtain the target user's facial expression information and vital sign information, wherein the vital sign information includes at least heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen concentration;

[0069] Step 1013: Use the facial expression information and vital sign information as the physiological state information of the target user.

[0070] In steps 1011-1013, the physiological state information of the target user includes facial expression information and vital sign information, both of which can be obtained by analyzing the target user's images and videos.

[0071] By extracting geometric and motion features from the target user's image, motion parameters of the moving image are calculated, thereby obtaining the target user's facial expression information. Facial expression information can include various expressions such as smiling, laughing, crying, and blank stares.

[0072] Vital signs refer to physiological indicators that cannot be subjectively controlled by a person, such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen concentration. By analyzing the hotspot map of the human body, the changing patterns of capillary congestion during respiration can be obtained, thus yielding vital sign data such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen concentration.

[0073] In one possible implementation, the vehicle's external environment information includes at least the vehicle's geolocation, images and videos of the environment surrounding the vehicle, current weather, and current time.

[0074] The vehicle's driving status information includes at least the vehicle's speed, acceleration, power consumption, and vehicle balance status information.

[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, information about the vehicle's external environment may affect the emotional state of the users inside the vehicle. For the driver, the vehicle's driving status information partially reflects the driver's emotional state, and conversely, can also affect the driver's emotional state; for passengers, the vehicle's driving status information can also affect the passengers' emotional state.

[0076] For example, if the external environment of a vehicle is a congested market and the vehicle's acceleration is negative, it is easy to imagine that the emotional state of the users inside the vehicle would likely be irritable and anxious.

[0077] Step 102: Based on the target user's physiological state information, the external environment information, and the vehicle's driving state information, determine the target user's current emotional state and the emotion tag corresponding to the current emotional state.

[0078] The target user's current emotional state can be influenced and determined by the target user's physiological state, external environmental information, and vehicle driving status information. These three factors are complementary and mutually influential, and the target user's current emotional state can be accurately determined by considering these factors.

[0079] Various emotion labels and their corresponding emotional states are pre-defined. For example, emotion labels can include at least: pleasure, excitement, fatigue, anger, sadness, irritability, and calmness. Each emotion label corresponds to at least one emotional state.

[0080] Based on the correspondence between emotion tags and emotion states, the emotion tag corresponding to the current emotion state can be obtained.

[0081] Step 103: Using the first model, select a target fragrance that matches the emotion tag from the historical fragrance data belonging to the target user; the historical fragrance data includes fragrance data collected from the vehicle at each collection time before the current time and the emotion tag of the target user at the collection time.

[0082] In the fragrance system, users who frequently use the current vehicle are associated with historical fragrance data. This historical fragrance data includes various collection points within a historical time period, fragrance data collected from inside the vehicle, and the user's emotional state at those times. The fragrance data typically includes the fragrance type and concentration.

[0083] When a certain fragrance type and concentration is used in a car within a historical period, the user experiences a corresponding emotional state under that fragrance. This establishes a correlation between fragrance data and user emotional tags. This correlation is based on the user's actual usage experience, not on a third party's assumptions or assumptions; it reflects the user's genuine feelings.

[0084] Fragrance data that matches user emotion tags refers to fragrance data that can improve a user's emotional state when the user is in a negative emotional state such as anger, sadness, crying, drowsiness, or tension; or fragrance data that can cater to a user's positive emotional experience when the user is in a positive emotional state such as joy, peace, or excitement.

[0085] This invention selects a target fragrance from historical fragrance data that matches the user's current emotional state. Because this target fragrance has already been used by the target user and is not based on experience values ​​derived from large datasets of other users, its effect on the target user's emotions is definite. Therefore, the target fragrance can truly match the user's current emotional state.

[0086] Step 104: Apply the target fragrance to the vehicle.

[0087] The target fragrance includes the corresponding fragrance type and concentration. Placing the target fragrance in a vehicle can improve a user's negative emotional state or align with their positive emotional state.

[0088] For example, when a user is commuting home late at night after working overtime, a camera and infrared sensors measure the user's current emotional state, identifying drowsiness as the corresponding emotional label. At this point, a target fragrance matching the drowsy emotional label is retrieved from historical fragrance data. This target fragrance's scent type and concentration, when previously used by the user, have improved the user's drowsy state and had a refreshing effect. Therefore, the release of this target fragrance can help the user feel refreshed, relieve drowsiness, and relax.

[0089] In summary, the fragrance control method provided by this invention collects physiological state information of a target user inside a vehicle, external environmental information of the vehicle, and driving status information of the vehicle; based on the physiological state information of the target user, the external environmental information, and the driving status information of the vehicle, it determines the current emotional state of the target user and the corresponding emotion tag; using a first model, it selects a target fragrance that matches the emotion tag from the historical fragrance data belonging to the target user; the historical fragrance data includes fragrance data collected from the vehicle at various collection times before the current time and the emotion tag of the target user at each collection time; and it applies the target fragrance to the vehicle. Thus, by selecting a target fragrance that matches the emotion tag from the historical fragrance data belonging to the target user, this target fragrance is verified based on the target user's historical data to match the target user's current emotion tag. Therefore, the target fragrance can truly match the user's needs and improve the user's emotional state and experience.

[0090] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, before collecting the physiological state information of the target user inside the vehicle, the following steps 201-203 are also included:

[0091] Step 201: Use the camera to determine the number of users inside the vehicle;

[0092] Step 202: If there is only one user, identify the unique user inside the vehicle as the target user.

[0093] Step 203: If there are multiple users, the user who triggers the vehicle's fragrance button is identified as the target user, or the user located in a preset seat is identified as the target user.

[0094] Steps 201-203 describe the method for determining the target user. This method can be preset within the vehicle's fragrance system. For example, it can be set so that when there is only one person in the vehicle, that person is directly identified as the target user. When there are multiple people in the vehicle, the user who triggered the fragrance button is identified as the target user. Alternatively, instead of determining the target user based on the fragrance button's activation, the user in a preset seat can be identified as the target user. This preset seat can be pre-set within the fragrance system. For example, the preset seat could be the driver's seat, the front passenger seat, etc.

[0095] Identifying target users using the above method facilitates the automation of fragrance control. This involves automatically locking onto the target user, obtaining their physiological state information, and ultimately releasing a fragrance that matches that target user. This avoids the need for manual selection of target users each time, thus automating fragrance control and improving the user experience.

[0096] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the historical fragrance data was obtained through the following method:

[0097] Step 301: During the target time period before the current time, when fragrance is placed in the vehicle, collect physiological state information of frequent users in the vehicle, external environmental information of the vehicle, and driving status information of the vehicle according to a preset cycle, as well as fragrance data in the vehicle; the fragrance data includes at least the fragrance type and fragrance concentration.

[0098] Step 302: Based on the user's physiological state information, the vehicle's external environment information, and the vehicle's driving status information at the time of collection, determine the user's emotional state at the time of collection and the corresponding emotion tag.

[0099] Step 303: Input the fragrance data at each collection time and the user's emotion label at the collection time into the second model to obtain the correspondence between each emotion label and the fragrance data;

[0100] Step 304: Store the correspondence between the emotion tags and the fragrance data in the cloud as historical fragrance data.

[0101] Steps 301-304 describe the method for collecting historical fragrance data. To ensure the timeliness of historical data, fragrance data inside the vehicle can be collected periodically, and the historical fragrance data can be updated accordingly.

[0102] Specifically, during the data collection period, the system can identify occupants who frequently sit in the vehicle based on images captured by the camera. Then, it collects the physiological state information of these occupants, the current external environment information of the vehicle, the vehicle's driving status information, and fragrance data such as fragrance type and concentration. These four types of information are then aligned chronologically. This allows the system to obtain each user's physiological state information, the vehicle's external environment information, the vehicle's driving status information, and the fragrance data at each collection point.

[0103] Then, based on the user's physiological state information, vehicle external environment information, and vehicle driving status information at each collection time, the user's emotional state and the corresponding emotional tag are obtained.

[0104] Emotional tags can be pre-set, such as at least: joy, excitement, fatigue, anger, sadness, irritability, and calmness. By determining the emotional tag corresponding to the user's emotional state, and then mapping the fragrance data at that moment of collection to the user's emotional tag, the correspondence between the user's emotional tag and the fragrance data at that moment is obtained.

[0105] Considering that users may have different emotional states for the same fragrance data at different collection times, the fragrance data and emotional states at each collection time can be input into a second model to train the correspondence between fragrance data and emotional states. Based on a large amount of training data, a stable correspondence between emotion labels and fragrance data can be obtained.

[0106] The correspondence between each user's emotional tags and fragrance data is stored in the cloud, forming historical fragrance data.

[0107] In one possible implementation, selecting a target fragrance that matches the mood tag from the historical fragrance data belonging to the target user using the first model includes the following steps 401-403:

[0108] Step 401: Determine the category of the emotion tag, which includes positive emotion category and negative emotion category;

[0109] Step 402: If the emotion tag belongs to the negative emotion category, use the first model to select a target fragrance that can improve the current emotional state from the emotion tags belonging to the positive emotion category in the historical fragrance data; the first model is constructed based on fragrance data and the user's emotional change data after using the fragrance data;

[0110] Step 403: If the emotion tag belongs to the positive emotion category, use the first model to select a target fragrance that matches the current emotional state from the emotion tags belonging to the positive emotion category in the historical fragrance data.

[0111] In steps 401-403, the category of the emotion label corresponding to the current emotional state is first determined. Emotion labels belonging to the positive emotion category include: pleasure, excitement, calmness, etc., while emotion labels belonging to the negative emotion category include: fatigue, anger, sadness, irritability, etc.

[0112] When the emotion label is negative, it's necessary to select a fragrance that can improve the user's current negative emotion. Therefore, the first model can be used to select a target fragrance from the positive emotion labels that can improve the current emotional state. For example, when the emotion label is irritability, selecting a target fragrance corresponding to the calming emotion label can alleviate and improve the user's irritability.

[0113] If the emotion label is positive, the user's emotional state does not need to be improved. The first model can be used to select a fragrance that matches the user's emotional state, thereby enhancing the user's emotional experience and making the positive emotional state last longer.

[0114] When constructing the first model, user emotion changes after using fragrance data can be obtained from historical fragrance data. Specifically, emotion change data can be obtained based on the user's emotional state at adjacent collection times. The fragrance data used within a time period and the emotion change data within that time period are mapped to obtain a correspondence between fragrance data and emotion change data. This correspondence is used to train the first initial model, resulting in a first model that can predict user emotion changes after using fragrance data.

[0115] The first model is built based on fragrance data and user mood change data after using the fragrance. Therefore, the first model can accurately select target fragrances that can improve the user's mood.

[0116] In one possible implementation, the collection of physiological state information of the target user inside the vehicle includes the following steps 501-503:

[0117] Step 501: Use the in-vehicle camera and infrared sensor to collect image information, video information, and hotspot information of the target user's body;

[0118] Step 502: Identify and parse the image information, the video information, and the hotspot area information to obtain the target user's facial expression information and vital sign information, wherein the vital sign information includes at least heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen concentration;

[0119] Step 503: Use the facial expression information and the vital sign information as the physiological state information of the target user.

[0120] In steps 501-503, cameras and infrared sensors are installed inside the vehicle to collect images, videos, and hotspot information of the user's body.

[0121] The facial expression information of the target user can be obtained through image and video information, such as recognizing changes in facial features to obtain facial expression information.

[0122] Since there may be a discrepancy between facial expression information and a person's true emotional state, it is possible to further determine a person's true emotional state by obtaining their vital signs.

[0123] The target user can wear the infrared sensor as a wearable device or place it near them. The infrared sensor can detect heat emitted by the human body and detect human movement. For example, by sensing the subtle fluctuations in the human arteries, it can measure a person's heart rate, heartbeat, blood oxygen concentration, and other physiological information.

[0124] Facial expressions and vital signs together serve as physiological state information for the target user, which helps to comprehensively obtain the user's current external and internal state and accurately judge their emotional state.

[0125] In one possible implementation, the vehicle's external environment information includes at least the vehicle's geolocation, images and videos of the environment surrounding the vehicle, current weather, and current time.

[0126] The vehicle's driving status information includes at least the vehicle's speed, acceleration, power consumption, and vehicle balance status information.

[0127] In this embodiment of the invention, information about the vehicle's external environment may affect the emotional state of the users inside the vehicle. For the driver, the vehicle's driving status information partially reflects the driver's emotional state, and conversely, can also affect the driver's emotional state; for passengers, the vehicle's driving status information can also affect the passengers' emotional state.

[0128] Therefore, by integrating the target user's physiological state information with the vehicle's external environment information and driving status information, and by combining the user's physiological performance with the external environment to determine the target user's emotional state, a more accurate emotional state judgment can be obtained, which will help to select a suitable target fragrance to improve the emotional state.
