Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile technology, and in particular to a vehicle adaptive cruise control method, an adaptive cruise control device, a vehicle, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the development and popularization of intelligent driving technology, in-vehicle systems are becoming increasingly versatile, leading to an increasing number of physical function buttons within the vehicle cabin, particularly on the steering wheel. For example, adaptive cruise control systems involve multiple physical buttons, including on / off, speed adjustment, and time-to-distance adjustment. These buttons now account for nearly half of the physical buttons on current steering wheels. However, this leaves limited space for other function buttons, making it impossible to accommodate these additional buttons. Furthermore, having too many function buttons can hinder driver operation while driving and may even compromise driving safety. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present application provides an adaptive cruise control method for a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a first function button and a second function button, wherein the first function button is multiplexed with the first non-adaptive cruise function and the adaptive cruise speed adjustment function, and the second function button is multiplexed with the second adaptive cruise following time distance adjustment function. The control method includes:

[0004] In response to the adaptive cruise function being activated, detecting an operation state of the first function button within a first predetermined time and an operation state of the second function button within a second predetermined time when the adaptive cruise function is activated;

[0005] If an operation on the first function button is detected within the first predetermined time, adjusting the adaptive cruise speed;

[0006] If an operation on the second function button is detected within the second predetermined time, the adaptive cruise following distance is adjusted.

[0007] Thus, in the vehicle's function button configuration, some non-adaptive cruise control functions and some adaptive cruise control parameter adjustment functions are reused on the same function button. Based on the driver's operation of the relevant function button while the vehicle's adaptive cruise control function is activated, the vehicle switches between different functions and executes the corresponding function accordingly. While meeting user needs for related functions, the vehicle also reduces the number of function buttons, providing a layout for the subsequent addition of new function buttons. This effectively reduces the driver's attention to the vehicle's function buttons while driving, thereby improving driving safety.

[0008] In some embodiments, the control method further includes, before the step of detecting, in response to the adaptive cruise function being activated, the operation status of the first function button within a first predetermined time and the operation status of the second function button within a second predetermined time when the adaptive cruise function is activated:

[0009] In response to the activation operation of the setting button of the adaptive cruise system, the adaptive cruise function is activated, and the state of the adaptive cruise function jumps from the off state to the standby state.

[0010] In this way, by pressing the button set for the adaptive cruise system to turn on the adaptive cruise function, the adaptive cruise function is turned on, and the adaptive cruise system enters a standby state. The user can further activate the adaptive cruise function.

[0011] In some embodiments, the control method further comprises, after the step of turning on the adaptive cruise function in response to the activation operation of the adaptive cruise system setting button and switching the state of the adaptive cruise function from the off state to the standby state:

[0012] If an operation on the first function button or the second function button is detected within a third predetermined time, the adaptive cruise function is activated, and the state of the adaptive cruise function jumps from the standby state to the activated state.

[0013] In this way, the user activates the adaptive cruise function by operating the first function button or the second function button within the third predetermined time, and further, the adaptive cruise speed and following distance can be adjusted.

[0014] In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0015] If no operation is detected on the first function button or the second function button within the third predetermined time, the first function button is switched to the non-adaptive cruise first function, and the second function button is switched to the non-adaptive cruise second function, and the adaptive cruise function state is maintained in the standby state.

[0016] In this way, when the adaptive cruise function is turned on and no further activation operation by the user is detected within the third predetermined time, the button function will switch to the function corresponding to the button under the non-adaptive cruise function, and the user will be able to use the non-adaptive cruise first function and the non-adaptive cruise second function normally.

[0017] In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0018] If no operation on the first function button or the second function button is detected within the third predetermined time, in response to the restart operation on the adaptive cruise system setting button, the adaptive cruise function is restarted, and the adaptive cruise function state is the standby state.

[0019] In this way, the user can restart the adaptive cruise system by operating the adaptive cruise system setting button when the adaptive cruise system is in standby mode. The adaptive cruise function is in standby mode, and the user can further operate to activate the adaptive cruise function.

[0020] In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0021] If no operation on the first function button is detected within the first predetermined time and no operation on the second function button is detected within the second predetermined time, the first function button is switched to the non-adaptive cruise first function, and the second function button is switched to the non-adaptive cruise second function, and the adaptive cruise function state is kept in the activated state.

[0022] In this way, when the adaptive cruise function is turned on and no further activation operation by the user is detected within the predetermined time, the button function will switch to the function corresponding to the button under the non-adaptive cruise function, and the user will be able to use the non-adaptive cruise first function and the non-adaptive cruise second function normally.

[0023] In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0024] If no operation on the first function button is detected within the first predetermined time and no operation on the second function button is detected within the second predetermined time, in response to the restart operation of the adaptive cruise system setting button, the adaptive cruise function is restarted, and the adaptive cruise function state is the activated state.

[0025] In this way, the user can restart the adaptive cruise system by operating the adaptive cruise system setting button when the adaptive cruise system is in the activated state. The adaptive cruise function is in the activated state, and the user will be able to use the first parameter adjustment function and the second parameter adjustment function of the adaptive cruise.

[0026] In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0027] In response to a closing operation on a setting button of the adaptive cruise system, the adaptive cruise function is closed, and the state of the adaptive cruise function jumps to an off state.

[0028] In this way, when the user does not need the adaptive cruise function, the user can turn off the adaptive cruise system at any time.

[0029] The present application also provides an adaptive cruise control device for a vehicle based on the above control method, wherein the vehicle includes a first function button and a second function button, wherein the first function button is multiplexed with the first non-adaptive cruise function and the adaptive cruise speed adjustment function, and the second function button is multiplexed with the second adaptive cruise following time distance adjustment function, and the control device includes:

[0030] a detection module, configured to respond to activation of the adaptive cruise function and detect an operation state of the first function button within a first predetermined time and an operation state of the second function button within a second predetermined time when the adaptive cruise function is activated;

[0031] a control module, configured to adjust the adaptive cruise speed when an operation on the first function button is detected within the first predetermined period; or

[0032] When an operation on the second function button is detected within the second predetermined time, the adaptive cruise following distance is adjusted.

[0033] The present application also provides a vehicle based on the above control method, the vehicle comprising:

[0034] A first function button, the first non-adaptive cruise control function and the adaptive cruise control speed adjustment function of the vehicle reuse the first function button;

[0035] A second function button, the vehicle's non-adaptive cruise control second function and the adaptive cruise control following distance adjustment function reuse the second function button;

[0036] a processing module, configured to detect an operation state of the first function button within a first predetermined time and an operation state of the second function button within a second predetermined time when the adaptive cruise control function is activated;

[0037] and for adjusting the adaptive cruise speed when an operation on the first function button is detected within the first predetermined time; or

[0038] When an operation on the second function button is detected within the second predetermined time, the adaptive cruise following distance is adjusted.

[0039] In this way, based on the different operating states of the first and second function buttons detected by the processing module, the user is provided with a variety of different executable functions for the first and second function buttons. The user can operate according to their needs and set the corresponding vehicle functions or parameters. While meeting the user's needs for related functions, the number of function buttons on the vehicle is reduced, providing a layout for the subsequent addition of new function buttons, effectively reducing the driver's attention to the vehicle's function buttons while driving, and improving driving safety.

[0040] The present application also provides a vehicle, which includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, the method described above is implemented.

[0041] The present application also provides a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium, which implements any of the above methods when the computer program is executed by one or more processors.

[0042] The vehicle, storage medium, and computer-readable storage medium of the present application enable switching between different functions and corresponding execution based on the driver's operation of relevant function buttons while the vehicle's adaptive cruise control function is activated. While satisfying user needs for relevant functions, the number of function buttons on the vehicle is reduced, providing a layout for the subsequent addition of new function buttons. This effectively reduces the driver's attention to the vehicle's function buttons while driving, thereby improving driving safety.

[0056] Steering wheel 100 , first function button 10 , second function button 20 , processing module 30 . DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the embodiments of the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application.

[0058] In recent years, intelligent driving technology has rapidly developed, and user demands for in-vehicle systems have gradually increased. This has led to an increasing number of physical function buttons in vehicle cabins, with the steering wheel being the most prominent. This increased number of function buttons on the steering wheel may affect driving safety. Therefore, users hope to reduce the number of function buttons to a certain extent while meeting their in-vehicle system needs.

[0059] See also Figure 1 The present application provides an adaptive cruise control method for a vehicle. The vehicle includes a first function button 10 and a second function button 20. The first function button 10 is used for the vehicle's non-adaptive cruise control first function and the adaptive cruise control speed adjustment function. The second function button 20 is used for the vehicle's non-adaptive cruise control second function and the adaptive cruise control time distance adjustment function. The control method includes:

[0060] S10: In response to the adaptive cruise function being activated, detecting an operation state of the first function button 10 within a first predetermined time and a second function button 20 within a second predetermined time when the adaptive cruise function is activated;

[0061] S20: If an operation on the first function button 10 is detected within the first predetermined time, adjusting the adaptive cruise speed;

[0062] S30: If an operation on the second function button 20 is detected within the second predetermined time, the adaptive cruise control following distance is adjusted.

[0063] The present application also provides an adaptive cruise control device for a vehicle, and the control device includes a detection module and a control module. The adaptive cruise control method of the present application can be implemented by the adaptive cruise control device of the present application. Among them, S10 is implemented by the detection module, and S20 and S30 are implemented by the control module, or in other words, the detection module is used to respond to the activation of the adaptive cruise function, detect the operation status of the first function button 10 within the first predetermined time and the second function button 20 within the second predetermined time when the adaptive cruise function is activated, and the control module is used to adjust the adaptive cruise vehicle speed when the operation of the first function button 10 is detected within the first predetermined time, and to adjust the adaptive cruise following distance when the operation of the second function button 20 is detected within the second predetermined time.

[0064] The present application also provides a vehicle, comprising: a first function button 10, a second function button 20, and a processing module 30. The first function button 10 is used for a first non-adaptive cruise control function and an adaptive cruise control speed adjustment function, and the second function button 20 is used for a second non-adaptive cruise control function and an adaptive cruise control following distance adjustment function. The processing module 30 is configured to, when the adaptive cruise control function is activated, detect the operation status of the first function button 10 within a first predetermined time and the second function button 20 within a second predetermined time, and to adjust the adaptive cruise control speed if an operation of the first function button 10 is detected within the first predetermined time, and to adjust the adaptive cruise control following distance if an operation of the second function button 20 is detected within the second predetermined time.

[0065] The present application also provides a vehicle, which includes a memory and a processor, wherein a computer program is stored in the memory, and the processor is used to detect the operation status of the first function button 10 within a first predetermined time and the second function button 20 within a second predetermined time when the adaptive cruise function is activated in response to the adaptive cruise function being activated, and is used to adjust the adaptive cruise vehicle speed if an operation is detected for the first function button 10 within the first predetermined time, and is used to adjust the adaptive cruise following distance if an operation is detected for the second function button 20 within the second predetermined time.

[0066] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application takes the steering wheel 100 as an example, please refer to Figure 8The steering wheel 100 includes a first function button 10, a second function button 20, and a processing module 30. When the vehicle's adaptive cruise control function is activated, the processing module 30 begins to detect whether the first function button 10 or the second function button 20 has been operated. If the first function button 10 is detected within a first predetermined time or the second function button 20 is detected within a second predetermined time, the first function button 10 can adjust the adaptive cruise control speed, and the second function button 20 can adjust the adaptive cruise control following distance. For example, if the vehicle determines based on the detection results that the user has operated the first function button 10 within the first predetermined time, the adaptive cruise control function state jumps from the standby state to the active state, and the first function button 10 switches to the adaptive cruise control speed adjustment function. The user can adjust the adaptive cruise control speed through the first function button 10. The first function button 10 can be two push-buttons arranged vertically. Pressing the upper button once increases the cruise control speed by 5 kilometers per hour, and pressing the lower button once decreases the cruise control speed by 5 kilometers per hour. The cruise control speed range can be from 20 kilometers per hour to 120 kilometers per hour. The specific cruise control speed adjustment range and cruise control speed range are configurable and are not limited here. Furthermore, when the user stops pressing the first function button 10 and detects no subsequent user operation within a predetermined time, the adaptive cruise control function enters a standby state, awaiting user activation. The first predetermined time and the second predetermined time may be the same or different, and may be three seconds, five seconds, or the like, without limitation herein.

[0067] It should be understood that the first function button 10 includes a non-adaptive cruise control first function and an adaptive cruise control vehicle speed adjustment function, and the second function button 20 includes a non-adaptive cruise control second function and an adaptive cruise control vehicle following distance adjustment function.

[0068] The first function button 10 or the second function button 20 can be a push-button, a two-way roller button, or a four-way roller button. The first function button 10 can include one or more, and similarly, the second function button 20 can also include one or more. The specific button type and number can be configured according to actual conditions and are not limited here. For example, the first function button 10 is a two-way roller button for volume adjustment or cruise speed adjustment. The number of the first function button 10 can be one. Rolling in one direction can increase the volume or increase the cruise speed, and rolling in the other direction can reduce the volume or reduce the cruise speed. For another example, the second function button 20 is a push-button for music switching or following distance adjustment. The number of the second function buttons 20 can be two. Pressing one button can switch to the next song or increase the following distance, and pressing the other button can switch back to the previous song or reduce the following distance.

[0069] Thus, in the vehicle's function button configuration, some non-adaptive cruise control functions and some adaptive cruise control parameter adjustment functions are reused on the same function button. Based on the driver's operation of the relevant function button while the vehicle's adaptive cruise control function is activated, the vehicle switches between different functions and executes the corresponding function accordingly. While meeting user needs for related functions, the vehicle also reduces the number of function buttons, providing a layout for the subsequent addition of new function buttons. This effectively reduces the driver's attention to the vehicle's function buttons while driving, thereby improving driving safety.

[0070] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the control method further includes before S10:

[0071] S40: In response to the activation operation of the adaptive cruise system setting button, the adaptive cruise function is activated, and the state of the adaptive cruise function jumps from the off state to the standby state.

[0072] In some embodiments, S40 is implemented by a detection module, that is, the detection module is used to respond to the activation operation of the adaptive cruise system setting button, activate the adaptive cruise function, and the adaptive cruise function state jumps from the off state to the standby state.

[0073] In some embodiments, the processor is configured to respond to an activation operation of a setting button for the adaptive cruise system, activate the adaptive cruise function, and switch the state of the adaptive cruise function from an off state to a standby state.

[0074] Specifically, the adaptive cruise control system setting button can be located in a convenient user-accessible location, such as on the steering wheel 100 or on the center console. The adaptive cruise control system setting button can be a push button or a touch button. The adaptive cruise control system setting button can be activated by double-clicking or long-pressing the button. Compared to single-clicking, double-clicking or long-pressing can prevent accidental button touches that affect the user experience. The specific location, button type, and button operation are not limited herein. By touching the adaptive cruise control system setting button, the user switches the adaptive cruise function from the off state to the standby state.

[0075] In this way, by pressing the button set for the adaptive cruise system to turn on the adaptive cruise function, the adaptive cruise function is turned on, and the adaptive cruise system enters a standby state. The user can further activate the adaptive cruise function.

[0076] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the control method further includes, after S40:

[0077] S50: If an operation on the first function button 10 or the second function button 20 is detected within the third predetermined time, the adaptive cruise function is activated, and the state of the adaptive cruise function jumps from the standby state to the active state.

[0078] In some embodiments, S50 is implemented by a detection module, that is, the detection module is used to activate the adaptive cruise function if it detects an operation on the first function button 10 or the second function button 20 within a third predetermined time, and the adaptive cruise function state jumps from the standby state to the activation state.

[0079] In some embodiments, the processor is configured to activate the adaptive cruise control function if an operation on the first function button 10 or the second function button 20 is detected within a third predetermined time, and the adaptive cruise control function state jumps from the standby state to the active state.

[0080] Specifically, the third predetermined time can be three seconds or five seconds, etc. The specific time can be configured by yourself and is not limited here. For example, the third predetermined time is five seconds. When the adaptive cruise function enters the standby state, the user operates the first function button 10 or the second function button 20 within five seconds, and the adaptive cruise function will enter the active state from the standby state.

[0081] In this way, the user activates the adaptive cruise function by operating the first function button 10 or the second function button 20 within the third predetermined time, and further, the adaptive cruise speed and following distance can be adjusted.

[0082] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0083] S60: If no operation is detected on the first function button 10 or the second function button 20 within the third predetermined time, the first function button 10 is switched to the non-adaptive cruise control first function, and the second function button 20 is switched to the non-adaptive cruise control second function, and the adaptive cruise control function state is kept in the standby state.

[0084] In some embodiments, S60 is implemented by a detection module, that is, the detection module is used to switch the first function button 10 to the non-adaptive cruise first function and the second function button 20 to the non-adaptive cruise second function if no operation is detected on the first function button 10 or the second function button 20 within a third predetermined time, and keep the adaptive cruise function state in standby state.

[0085] In some embodiments, if no operation is detected on the first function button 10 or the second function button 20 within a third predetermined time, the processor is used to switch the first function button 10 to the non-adaptive cruise first function and the second function button 20 to the non-adaptive cruise second function, and keep the adaptive cruise function state in the standby state.

[0086] Specifically, for example, the third predetermined time period can be set to five seconds. When the adaptive cruise control function is in standby mode, if the first function button 10 or the second function button 20 is not pressed within five seconds, the first function button 10 will switch to the first function of non-adaptive cruise control, and the second function button 20 will switch to the second function of non-adaptive cruise control, and the adaptive cruise control function will remain in standby mode. The first function of non-adaptive cruise control and the second function of non-adaptive cruise control can be existing vehicle functions such as volume adjustment or music switching, and the specific functions are not limited here.

[0087] It should be noted that the volume adjustment function and music switching function corresponding to the first function button 10 and the second function button 20 are only for schematic illustration. The first function button 10 and the second function button 20 can also correspond to other adjustment functions under non-adaptive cruise control functions, such as air-conditioning temperature, rearview mirror angle, etc. The specific functions can be determined according to the actual function button settings of the steering wheel 100 and are not limited here.

[0088] In this way, when the adaptive cruise function is turned on and no further activation operation by the user is detected within the third predetermined time, the button function will switch to the function corresponding to the button under the non-adaptive cruise function, and the user will be able to use the non-adaptive cruise first function and the non-adaptive cruise second function normally.

[0089] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0090] S70: If no operation on the first function button or the second function button is detected within the third predetermined time, in response to the restart operation on the adaptive cruise system setting button, the adaptive cruise function is restarted and the adaptive cruise function state is the standby state.

[0091] In some embodiments, S70 is implemented by a control module, that is, the control module is used to restart the adaptive cruise function in response to a restart operation on the adaptive cruise system setting button if no operation on the first function button or the second function button is detected within a third predetermined time, and the adaptive cruise function state is a standby state.

[0092] In some embodiments, the processor is configured to restart the adaptive cruise function in response to a restart operation on the adaptive cruise system setting button if no operation on the first function button or the second function button is detected within a third predetermined time, and the adaptive cruise function state is a standby state.

[0093] Specifically, if no operation is detected on the first function button or the second function button within the third predetermined time, the adaptive cruise function enters a standby state. The user can restart the adaptive cruise function by pressing the adaptive cruise system setting button. The adaptive cruise function enters a standby state and starts counting down, waiting for the user to activate the adaptive cruise function by pressing the first function button 10 or the second function button 20. The button operation for restarting the adaptive cruise function can be a single click, double click, or long press, and the specific button operation is not limited here.

[0094] In this way, the user can restart the adaptive cruise system by operating the adaptive cruise system setting button when the adaptive cruise system is in standby mode. The adaptive cruise function is in standby mode, and the user can further operate to activate the adaptive cruise function.

[0095] See also Figure 5 In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0096] S80: If no operation is detected on the first function button 10 within the first predetermined time and no operation is detected on the second function button 20 within the second predetermined time, switch the first function button 10 to the non-adaptive cruise control first function and the second function button 20 to the non-adaptive cruise control second function, and keep the adaptive cruise control function in an activated state.

[0097] In some embodiments, S80 is implemented by a detection module, that is, the detection module is used to switch the first function button 10 to the non-adaptive cruise first function and the second function button 20 to the non-adaptive cruise second function if no operation is detected on the first function button 10 within the first predetermined time and no operation is detected on the second function button 20 within the second predetermined time, and keep the adaptive cruise function state in an activated state.

[0098] In some embodiments, if no operation is detected on the first function button 10 within a first predetermined time and no operation is detected on the second function button 20 within a second predetermined time, the processor is used to switch the first function button 10 to the non-adaptive cruise first function and the second function button 20 to the non-adaptive cruise second function, and keep the adaptive cruise function state in an activated state.

[0099] Specifically, when the adaptive cruise function is in the activated state, if the first function button 10 is not detected to be operated within the first predetermined time and the second function button 20 is not detected to be operated within the second predetermined time, the first function button 10 will be used to control the non-adaptive cruise first function, and the second function button 20 will be used to control the non-adaptive cruise second function. For example, the first predetermined time and the second predetermined time are five seconds. When the adaptive cruise function is in the activated state, the detection module starts to detect the first function button 10 and the second function button 20. If the first function button 10 and the second function button 20 are not detected to be operated within five seconds, the first function button 10 will be used to control the non-adaptive cruise first function, which may be adjusting the volume, and the second function button 20 will be used to control the non-adaptive cruise second function, which may be switching songs.

[0100] In this way, when the adaptive cruise function is turned on and no further activation operation by the user is detected within the predetermined time, the button function will switch to the function corresponding to the button under the non-adaptive cruise function, and the user will be able to use the non-adaptive cruise first function and the non-adaptive cruise second function normally.

[0101] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0102] S90: If no operation on the first function button is detected within the first predetermined time and no operation on the second function button is detected within the second predetermined time, in response to the restart operation of the adaptive cruise system setting button, the adaptive cruise function is restarted, and the adaptive cruise function state is activated.

[0103] In some embodiments, S90 can be implemented by a control module, that is, the control module is used to restart the adaptive cruise function in response to a restart operation on the adaptive cruise system setting button if no operation is detected for the first function button within the first predetermined time and no operation is detected for the second function button within the second predetermined time, and the adaptive cruise function state is activated.

[0104] In some embodiments, the processor is used to restart the adaptive cruise function in response to a restart operation on the adaptive cruise system setting button if no operation on the first function button is detected within a first predetermined time and no operation on the second function button is detected within a second predetermined time, and the adaptive cruise function state is activated.

[0105] Specifically, if no operation is detected on the first function button within a first predetermined time and no operation is detected on the second function button within a second predetermined time, and the adaptive cruise function is in an activated state, the user can restart the adaptive cruise function by pressing the adaptive cruise system setting button. The adaptive cruise function is activated and a timer begins, waiting for the user to press the first function button 10 or the second function button 20, thereby adjusting the vehicle's adaptive cruise speed or following distance. The button operation for restarting the adaptive cruise function can be a single click, double click, or long press, and the specific button operation is not limited here.

[0106] In this way, the user can restart the adaptive cruise system by operating the adaptive cruise system setting button when the adaptive cruise system is in the activated state. The adaptive cruise function is in the activated state, and the user will be able to use the first parameter adjustment function and the second parameter adjustment function of the adaptive cruise.

[0107] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, the control method further comprises:

[0108] S100: In response to a deactivation operation on a setting button of the adaptive cruise system, the adaptive cruise function is deactivated, and the state of the adaptive cruise function jumps to an off state.

[0109] In some embodiments, S100 may be implemented by a control module, that is, the control module is configured to shut down the adaptive cruise function in response to a shut-down operation on a setting button for the adaptive cruise system, and the state of the adaptive cruise function jumps to an off state.

[0110] In some embodiments, the processor is configured to, in response to a shutdown operation on a setting button for the adaptive cruise system, shut down the adaptive cruise function, and the state of the adaptive cruise function jumps to an off state.

[0111] Specifically, the user can disable the adaptive cruise control function by double-clicking or long-pressing the button. Compared to single-clicking, double-clicking or long-pressing can prevent accidental button presses from affecting the user experience. For example, when a user needs to pull over, the user can double-click the adaptive cruise control function to disable the adaptive cruise control function and return the vehicle to normal driving mode. It should be understood that the disable operation of the adaptive cruise control function is different from the activation operation of the adaptive cruise control function. The user can perform both the disable and activation operations normally. The specific operation contents of the disable and activation operations are not limited here.

[0112] In this way, when the user does not need the adaptive cruise function, the user can turn off the adaptive cruise system at any time.
