[0047] To better understand the above technical solutions, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of this application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of this application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, a display device is provided according to a first aspect of the embodiments of this application, comprising: a panel 110 for being disposed at the center console of a vehicle; a display component 120 disposed on the panel 110 for displaying vehicle information; a camera component 130 disposed on the panel 110 for acquiring a driver image; and a transparent cover plate covering the panel 110.

[0049] It is understood that the display device provided in this application embodiment includes a panel 110, a display component 120, a camera component 130, and a transparent cover. The panel 110 is installed on the center console of a vehicle. The display component 120 is mounted on the panel 110, which also facilitates the organization of the wiring connecting the display component 120, ensuring the normal operation of its display function. The display component 120 displays vehicle information, allowing the driver to monitor the vehicle's current status. The camera component 130 is mounted on the panel 110, which also facilitates the organization of its wiring, ensuring the camera component 130 can properly acquire images of the driver. A transparent cover is placed over the panel 110 to hide the display component 120 and the camera component 130 under the transparent cover. The transparent cover protects the display component 120 and the camera component 130, extends their service life, and makes the presence of the camera component 130 less obtrusive, improving the aesthetics of the car interior, reducing customers' anxiety about being monitored or having their privacy exposed, and improving the user experience.

[0050] Understandably, the transparent cover can be made of glass with good light transmittance to ensure that the driver can clearly see the information displayed by the display component 120 and that the camera component 130 can clearly acquire the driver's image information, thereby improving the accuracy of the image acquired by the camera component 130.

[0051] Understandably, the camera component 130 can clearly capture the driver's facial features, eye signals, head movements, and other characteristics that can be used to infer the driver's level of fatigue, thereby providing proactive and intelligent safety protection for the driver.

[0052] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the camera assembly 130 includes: a camera 131, which is disposed on the plate 110 and attached to the transparent cover plate, and is used to acquire images of the driver; and a supplementary light 132, which is disposed on the plate 110 and is used to supplement the light to the area captured by the camera 131.

[0053] Understandably, the camera assembly 130 includes a camera 131 and a supplementary light 132. The camera 131 is fixed to the board 110, which facilitates the organization of its wiring and ensures proper functioning. The camera 131 can be completely bonded to a transparent cover plate using high-transmittance adhesive, minimizing gaps between the lens and the cover plate and ensuring image quality. This also effectively prevents fogging of the lens due to thermal cycling, thus guaranteeing the reliability and accuracy of the images acquired by the camera 131. Similarly, the board 110 fixes the supplementary light 132, facilitating wiring organization and ensuring that the supplementary light 132 can properly illuminate the area captured by the camera 131, guaranteeing clear image acquisition even in low-light conditions.

[0054] Understandably, to avoid the supplementary light 132 emitting too bright light in low-light environments, which could affect the driver's normal driving and easily lead to safety accidents, the supplementary light 132 can be an infrared supplementary light 132 to reduce safety risks.

[0055] It is understandable that the transparent cover can be surface treated. The transparent cover areas corresponding to the camera 131 and the supplementary light 132 can be coated with anti-acid oil by spraying or locally applying it to avoid the transparent cover areas corresponding to the camera 131 and the supplementary light 132 not being surface treated, so as to ensure that the driver's image information can be clearly obtained and improve the performance of the rest of the transparent cover.

[0056] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are two supplementary lights 132, which are located on both sides of the central axis of the driver's seat.

[0057] It is understandable that there can be two supplementary lights 132, and the two supplementary lights 132 are respectively located on both sides of the central axis of the driver's seat to prevent the driver's face from being partially under-lit, i.e., one side is bright and the other side is dark, which would lead to unclear capture of the driver's facial features and misjudgment of the driver's fatigue state, thus improving the supplementary lighting effect.

[0058] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display component 120 includes: an instrument display module 121 for displaying the instrument information of the vehicle; a passenger display module 122 for displaying entertainment information at the passenger seat; and a central control display module 123 for displaying the current status information of the vehicle, located between the instrument display module 121 and the passenger display module 122.

[0059] Understandably, the display component 120 includes an instrument cluster display module 121, a passenger-side display module 122, and a central control display module 123. The instrument cluster display module 121 can be positioned corresponding to the driver's seat to display vehicle instrument information for easy viewing by the driver. The passenger-side display module 122 can be positioned corresponding to the passenger-side seat to display entertainment information, such as video playback and text browsing, facilitating use by the passenger and improving user experience. The central control display module 123 is positioned between the instrument cluster display module 121 and the passenger-side display module 122 to display the vehicle's current status information, allowing the driver to clearly understand the vehicle's current status. This configuration provides the display component 120 with rich display functions, enhancing the vehicle's automation level and improving the user experience.

[0060] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display device further includes: a button module 140, disposed between the passenger-side display module 122 and the central control display module 123; and a controller, respectively connected to the button module 140, the display component 120 and the camera component 130, wherein the controller is used to control the display mode of the display component 120 and / or the shooting mode of the camera component 130 according to the button commands of the button module 140.

[0061] Understandably, the display device also includes a button module 140 and a controller. The button module 140 can be positioned between the passenger-side display module 122 and the central control display module 123. The controller is electrically connected to the button module 140, the display component 120, and the camera component 130. Users can issue button commands using the button module 140, and the controller controls the display mode of the display component 120 and the shooting mode of the camera component 130 based on the button commands. For example, the button module 140 can be a touch button, making the button module 140 less obtrusive, improving overall coordination and aesthetics.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, a method for arranging a display device is provided according to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, for controlling the display device described in any of the above technical solutions. The camera assembly 130 includes: the camera 131 and the fill light 132, characterized in that it includes:

[0063] S101: Obtain the field of view parameters of the camera 131 and the size data of the plate 110, and determine the first preset position of the camera 131 on the plate 110 based on the field of view parameters and the size data of the plate 110.

[0064] Understandably, the model of camera 131 and the size of display device can be selected according to the model of vehicle. The horizontal and vertical field of view of camera 131 and the length dimension of plate 110 can be determined according to the model of camera 131. Based on the horizontal and vertical field of view of camera 131 and the length dimension of plate 110, camera 131 can be initially arranged on plate 110, and this position can be used as the first preset position.

[0065] S102: Obtain the limit motion boundary of the moving parts of the vehicle, and adjust the camera 131 from the first preset position to the second preset position according to the limit motion boundary of the moving parts.

[0066] It is understandable that the moving parts include the driver's seat, steering wheel, and steering column, which will move during driving and affect the images captured by the camera 131. Based on the limit movement boundaries of the moving parts, through 3D dynamic verification, the position with the least occlusion of the image captured by the camera 131 can be selected as the second preset position, that is, the position that ensures that the driver's face is not obstructed. This ensures that the camera 131 can accurately acquire the driver's facial features, eye signals, head movement signals, and other features that can be used to infer the driver's fatigue state.

[0067] Understandably, during 3D dynamic verification, the 3D models of the directional column, dummy, display device, and camera 131 can be loaded into the software, and the position with the least occlusion in the image captured by the camera 131 can be determined by moving the field of view model of the camera 131.

[0068] S103: Obtain the actual image of the camera 131, and adjust the camera 131 from the second preset position to the final confirmed position based on the actual image of the camera 131.

[0069] Understandably, after determining the second preset position of the camera 131, the position of the camera 131 can be further adjusted and optimized based on the imaging effect of the actual image displayed on the vehicle, so as to reduce the subtle differences caused by the production errors of different vehicles and make targeted adjustments to ensure that the area of ​​the camera 131 is minimized and improve the imaging effect.

[0070] By arranging the display device as described above, the position of the camera 131 on the panel 110 is adjusted to ensure that the area of ​​the camera 131 being obstructed is minimized, thereby improving the accuracy of acquiring the driver's facial image. After the adjustment is completed, a transparent cover is placed on the panel 110 to hide the camera 131, so that the presence of the camera component 130 is not obtrusive, improving the aesthetics of the car interior, reducing the customer's anxiety about being monitored and having their privacy exposed, and improving the user experience.

[0071] In some examples, the method further includes: obtaining illumination information at the driver's seat of the vehicle, and adjusting the position of the supplementary light 132 on the plate 110 based on the illumination information at the driver's seat.

[0072] Understandably, while deploying the camera 131, it is also necessary to deploy the supplementary light 132. By acquiring the lighting information at the driver's seat, the system can simulate the driver's eye level at the driver's seat when the vehicle is traveling in the direction of oncoming light and in the direction of backlight. This allows for adjustment of the position and intensity of the supplementary light 132, ensuring that the camera 131 can always accurately acquire the driver's facial image while the vehicle is in motion. This improves the accuracy and reliability of judging the driver's fatigue level.

[0073] It is understandable that there are at least two supplementary lights 132, located on both sides of the central axis of the driver's seat, to provide supplementary lighting for the driver's face on both sides, avoiding a situation where one side is bright and the other side is dark, and further improving the accuracy of the driver's facial image obtained by the camera 131.
