[0045] Figure 5 This is a system framework diagram of the vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0046] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] In related technologies, the power-off of electric vehicles is typically controlled jointly by the user and the vehicle. Users can control the power on and off using a one-touch start-stop switch on the vehicle. For example, when the vehicle is finished using the vehicle or in an emergency, the user can press the one-touch start-stop switch to shut down the vehicle. Another example is when a major malfunction occurs while the vehicle is in motion, the vehicle will automatically power off.

[0049] However, because the vehicle can only recognize power-off commands and cannot effectively identify the current driving scenario, the vehicle may suddenly power off while driving. For example, a child or other person could accidentally press the start button while the vehicle is in motion, causing the vehicle to power off. Or a sudden battery failure could cause the vehicle to automatically power off. These situations are unpredictable and can easily cause accidents, leaving the driver or the following vehicle unable to react in time, posing a dangerous driving hazard.

[0050] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle control method, which can be executed by a vehicle, for example, by a controller on the vehicle. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle control method may include:

[0051] S110 . When the vehicle is in a powered-on state, in response to a power-off signal, determine the type of the power-off signal.

[0052] The power-off signal is generated by the vehicle in response to a user-input power-off command or automatically. There are two types of power-off signals: normal power-off signal and forced power-off signal.

[0053] In practice, a user can issue both a normal power-off command and a forced power-off command, allowing the vehicle to generate a normal power-off signal and a forced power-off signal, respectively, based on these two types of commands. In some embodiments, the normal power-off command and the forced power-off command can be triggered by different power-off devices. For example, a vehicle may be equipped with a push-button start-stop switch and a forced power-off switch. When the vehicle is powered on, if the user presses the push-button start-stop switch, a normal power-off command is issued to the vehicle; when the user presses the forced power-off switch, a forced power-off command is issued to the vehicle. In other embodiments, the normal power-off command and the forced power-off command can be triggered by different operations on the same power-off device. For example, a vehicle may be equipped with a push-button start-stop switch. When the vehicle is powered on, if the user presses the push-button start-stop switch only once within a first preset time, a normal power-off command is issued to the vehicle. If the user presses the push-button start-stop switch a preset number of times within the first preset time, or if the user continues to press and hold the push-button start-stop switch within the first preset time, a forced power-off command is issued to the vehicle. The first preset time can be set based on actual needs, for example, 3 seconds.

[0054] During implementation, the vehicle can also issue normal power-off commands and forced power-off commands, so that the vehicle can generate normal power-off signals and forced power-off signals based on these two types of commands, respectively. For example, when the vehicle determines that the user has left the vehicle's signal range and has not returned to the vehicle's signal range within a second preset time, the normal power-off command is automatically issued; when the vehicle detects a major fault in a target component, the forced power-off command is automatically issued. A major fault in a target component will have a direct impact on vehicle control and endurance, thereby affecting driving safety. Target components may include, for example, the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, steering wheel, battery, etc.

[0055] In some embodiments, before the vehicle is automatically forced to power off, a reminder message may be sent to remind the user that the vehicle is about to automatically power off. The reminder message may be in the form of at least one of sound, light, electricity, text, and seat movement (such as vibration).

[0056] S120: When it is determined that the type of the power-off signal is a normal power-off signal, control the vehicle to power off.

[0057] When the vehicle determines that the received signal is a normal power-off signal, the vehicle enters the normal power-off process. The vehicle power-off process includes at least the following: controlling the vehicle's power supply to stop supplying power and controlling the vehicle's high-voltage discharge circuit to disconnect.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle may also prompt the user to select or reselect a corresponding power-off instruction type based on the operating status of the target component. For example, if the vehicle detects a fault in the target component and the user issues a normal power-off instruction, the vehicle may display a prompt message stating "A major fault has been detected in vehicle component XX. Please confirm whether a forced power-off is required." The user can then reissue the forced power-off instruction according to the prompt, thereby entering the forced power-off process corresponding to steps S130-S140.

[0059] S130: When it is determined that the type of the power-off signal is a forced power-off signal, obtain the driving speed of the vehicle.

[0060] When the vehicle determines that the received power-off signal is normal, the vehicle enters the forced power-off process. The vehicle can obtain the driving speed through the speed sensor to determine whether the vehicle is currently in a driving state or a non-driving state.

[0061] A speed threshold can be pre-set. When the vehicle's speed exceeds the speed threshold, the vehicle is determined to be in a driving state. When the vehicle's speed is less than or equal to the speed threshold, the vehicle is determined to be in a non-driving state. The speed threshold is set based on actual needs. For example, the speed threshold can be 0. When the vehicle's speed is 0, the vehicle is determined to be in a non-driving state, i.e., stationary.

[0062] S140: Control the vehicle to power off and enter a hazard warning mode according to the vehicle's driving speed.

[0063] After obtaining the vehicle's driving speed, the current driving environment of the vehicle can be preliminarily determined based on the vehicle's driving speed, and then the vehicle can be controlled to power off.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, when a vehicle is powered off in response to a forced power-off signal, the vehicle is also controlled to enter hazard warning mode. Hazard warning mode is used to alert other vehicles and pedestrians that the vehicle is experiencing an abnormality, thereby preventing a collision. For example, in hazard warning mode, the vehicle's hazard lights turn on and / or an alarm sounds. Hazard warning mode cannot be automatically disabled by the vehicle and can only be manually disabled by the user, thereby maximizing the effectiveness and reliability of the alarm.

[0065] In summary, the vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can judge the type of the power-off signal after receiving the power-off signal, and determine different vehicle power-off control strategies according to different types. When the vehicle determines that the type of the power-off signal is a normal power-off signal, it can be judged that the vehicle is currently in a relatively safe environment and directly control the vehicle to power off; when the vehicle detects that the type of the power-off signal is a forced power-off signal, it can be judged that the vehicle is currently in a relatively unsafe environment or that there are abnormal factors in itself. At this time, the vehicle will further obtain the vehicle's driving speed, and then control the vehicle to power off and enter the danger alarm mode according to the vehicle's driving speed. It can be seen that the vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application improves the driving safety of the vehicle in different driving environments because it can identify the power-off signal.

[0066] In the embodiments of this application, Figure 2 As shown, when the vehicle's driving speed is lower than or equal to the speed threshold, step S1401 is executed; when the vehicle's driving speed is higher than the speed threshold, steps S1402-S1404 are executed.

[0067] S1401. Control the vehicle to power off and enter the danger warning mode.

[0068] For example, when the speed threshold is 0, if the vehicle's driving speed is equal to the speed threshold, it can be determined that the vehicle is in a parked state. At this time, the vehicle is in a relatively safe environment, such as the roadside. There is no need to consider road environment factors, and the vehicle can be directly controlled to power off and enter the danger alarm mode.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the vehicle is in a pre-preparation ready mode, the control method further includes: controlling the vehicle to exit the ready mode. In the ready mode, the vehicle can start driving at any time.

[0070] S1402: Control the vehicle to initiate a command confirmation request.

[0071] When the vehicle's speed is higher than the speed threshold, the vehicle may be driving on the road. At this time, the vehicle is in a relatively unsafe environment. Road environment factors need to be considered before controlling its power-off. Therefore, a command confirmation request needs to be initiated to avoid the forced power-off signal being triggered by mistake.

[0072] The command confirmation request is used to instruct the user to confirm the forced power-off instruction. For example, the text "Please confirm whether to force power off the vehicle" can be displayed on the vehicle's central control display screen and / or the above content can be announced by voice.

[0073] S1403 : In response to a confirmation signal for the command confirmation request, control the vehicle to power off and enter a hazard warning mode.

[0074] If, within a third preset time, a user confirmation signal is received in response to the command request, the system can determine that the forced power-off signal was not triggered in error. The vehicle is then powered off and enters hazard warning mode, alerting surrounding vehicles and pedestrians to prevent a collision. After power is off, the motor no longer provides propulsion, but the vehicle still retains inertial velocity. The user can then maneuver the vehicle to a safe location by controlling the steering wheel and brake pedal.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, after step S1402, the method may further include:

[0076] S1404: When no confirmation signal for the command confirmation request is received within the third preset time, or when a cancellation signal for the command confirmation request is received within the preset time, the vehicle is controlled to remain powered on.

[0077] If no confirmation signal for the command confirmation request or a cancellation signal for the command confirmation request is received within the third preset time, it indicates that the user does not intend to forcibly power off the vehicle and the forced power-off signal may have been triggered by an accidental trigger. Therefore, the vehicle is controlled to remain powered on. The third preset time is set according to actual needs, for example, 5 seconds.

[0078] The vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it may also include:

[0079] S310 : When the vehicle is stationary and powered on, obtain vehicle status information in response to a locking signal.

[0080] The lock signal indicates that the vehicle doors are locked. Once the doors are locked, the user cannot enter or exit the vehicle without unlocking them. Considering that locking the doors may indicate leaving the vehicle or preparing to depart, the user's next action can be further determined based on vehicle status information.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the locking signal is generated by the vehicle according to the locking command input by the user. The user can trigger the locking command through the central control switch in the vehicle, or through the car key or other means.

[0082] The vehicle status information includes at least one of door status information, gear information, and pedal information. The doors include driver's door and tailgate, and the driver's door may include a main driver's door, a passenger driver's door, and a rear door.

[0083] S320: Control the vehicle to turn on or off the anti-theft system according to the vehicle status information.

[0084] Based on the vehicle status information, it can be determined whether the user is preparing to set off or leaving the vehicle, and then the vehicle's anti-theft system can be controlled to turn on or off according to different situations.

[0085] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, steps S310-S320 may include:

[0086] S410: Determine the user's current location according to the locking instruction input by the user.

[0087] For example, the user's current location can be determined as follows:

[0088] When the user triggers the locking command using the car key, a signal receiver installed on the car can be used to calculate the position of the car key relative to the vehicle based on the signal sending location and / or signal strength, and then determine whether the user is inside or outside the vehicle.

[0089] When the user triggers the locking command through the central control switch, it can be determined that the user is currently inside the vehicle.

[0090] When the user triggers the locking command via an exterior locking device, it can be determined that the user is currently outside the vehicle. The exterior locking device, for example, can be an inductive locking device disposed on an exterior door handle.

[0091] When a user triggers a locking instruction by interacting with a vehicle signal through a mobile terminal (such as a mobile phone), it can be determined that the user is currently outside the vehicle when the mobile terminal cannot be detected within the signal coverage range of the vehicle.

[0092] When the user's current location is outside the vehicle, steps S420-S450 are executed; when the user's current location is inside the vehicle, steps S460-S480 are executed.

[0093] S420: When it is determined that the user is currently outside the vehicle, generate a first locking signal.

[0094] The first locking signal is used to indicate that the current position of the user is outside the vehicle.

[0095] S430: In response to the first locking signal, obtain vehicle door status information and gear position information.

[0096] The vehicle can obtain the opening and closing status of the driver's compartment door and tailgate through sensors installed at each door, and obtain the current gear of the vehicle through the gear switch sensor.

[0097] S440: When it is detected that the driver's door and tailgate are both closed and the gear is in P or N, the vehicle is powered off, the doors are locked, and the anti-theft system is activated.

[0098] When it is determined that the user is outside the vehicle, when it is detected that all doors are closed and the gear is in P or N, it can be determined that the current vehicle is in a parking scene. At this time, the doors can be locked according to the locking command issued by the user, and the anti-theft system can be controlled to turn on at the same time, putting the vehicle into a fortified state.

[0099] S450: When it is detected that the driver's door is closed, the tailgate is open, and the gear is in P or N, the vehicle is powered off, the driver's door is locked, and the anti-theft system is turned off.

[0100] When it is determined that the user is outside the vehicle, when it is detected that only the tailgate is open, other doors are closed, and the gear is in P or N, it can be determined that the current scenario is parking and retrieving items. At this time, the doors can be locked according to the locking command issued by the user, but the anti-theft system remains off, that is, the vehicle is in the disarmed state.

[0101] In some embodiments, after step S450, when the tailgate is detected to be closed, it can be determined that the user has finished retrieving the item, and the anti-theft system can be controlled to be activated, putting the vehicle into an armed state. If the user needs to open the door or tailgate again, a disarm command and / or a door unlock command must be issued.

[0102] S460: When it is determined that the user is currently inside the vehicle, generate a second locking signal.

[0103] The second locking signal is used to indicate that the user's current location is inside the vehicle.

[0104] S470 : In response to the second locking signal, obtain gear position information and pedal information.

[0105] The vehicle can obtain the current gear of the vehicle through the gear switch sensor, and detect whether the brake pedal is depressed and the degree to which it is depressed through the brake pedal switch / travel sensor.

[0106] S480: When it is detected that the brake pedal is depressed and the gear is moved out of P or N, the anti-theft system is controlled to remain off and enter ready mode.

[0107] When it is determined that the user is inside the vehicle, when it is detected that the brake pedal is pressed and the gear is moved out of P or N, it can be determined that the current user is ready to trigger. At this time, the vehicle door can be locked according to the locking command issued by the user, the anti-theft system can be kept off, and the vehicle can enter ready mode at the same time, so as to respond to the user's departure needs in a timely manner.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, even if the user does not issue a locking command, the user's location can be determined by the location of the target key, thereby controlling the vehicle. The vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may also include:

[0109] When the vehicle is powered on and stationary, the gear information, pedal information and location information of the target key are obtained, where the target key is the key that matches the vehicle; when it is detected that the brake pedal is depressed, the gear is moved from P gear or N gear, and the target key is located inside the vehicle, the vehicle is controlled to enter ready mode.

[0110] By verifying the position of the target key, it is possible to determine whether the user is inside the vehicle. When it is detected that the brake pedal is pressed and the gear is moved from P or N, it is determined that the current user is ready to depart. At this time, the vehicle can be controlled to enter ready mode, thereby responding to the user's departure needs in a timely manner.

[0111] The vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: when the vehicle is in a powered-on and disarmed state, when it is detected that the main driver's door and / or the front driver's door of the vehicle are opened, controlling the vehicle to remain in the powered-on state.

[0112] In some embodiments, if the vehicle is in Ready Mode, then upon detecting that the driver's front door is opened, the vehicle is controlled to remain powered on and exit Ready Mode. After the driver's front door is opened, the driver is likely exiting the vehicle. For safety reasons, exiting Ready Mode prevents accidents caused by misoperation.

[0113] The vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: when the vehicle is in a power-off state and all doors are closed, when it is detected that any driver's cabin door of the vehicle is opened, or when it is detected that the brake pedal is pressed, controlling the vehicle to power on.

[0114] Powering on the vehicle includes at least the following: controlling the vehicle's power supply and controlling the conduction of the vehicle's high-voltage discharge circuit.

[0115] When the vehicle is powered off, if it detects that the door is opened by the user or the brake pedal is pressed by the user, and it is determined that the user intends to power on immediately, the vehicle will respond to the power-on signal and enter the power-on state, realizing automatic power-on without pressing the one-touch start-stop button, meeting the demand for seamless starting and improving the convenience of users using the vehicle.

[0116] The vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application may further include: when the vehicle is in a powered-off state and a target door is open, controlling the vehicle to power on upon detecting that the target door has been closed and then opened; or controlling the vehicle to power on upon detecting that the brake pedal has been depressed. The target door is at least one of the driver's compartment doors.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle may be equipped with a monostable shift mechanism (including a P gear switch) and an EPB (electronic parking brake system). The vehicle control method provided in the embodiments of the present application may also include: when the EPB is turned on, when it is detected that the main driving door is open and the main driving seat belt is unbuckled, the vehicle automatically controls the gear to shift to P gear, and sends a parking signal to the EPB, so that the EPB controls the brake pads to automatically clamp and park. This method is for when the vehicle is in a power-on or power-off state, the vehicle may have a driving speed (for example, sliding down a slope), but the driver is not in the driving seat. In this case, the EPB in the turned-on state can automatically park the vehicle, thereby avoiding the occurrence of a collision accident.

[0118] The vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: when the vehicle is in the powered state, upon detecting that the vehicle charging plug is unplugged, controlling the vehicle to enter the ready state. When the vehicle enters the ready state, the vehicle dashboard may emit a prompt tone, display a text prompt on the central control display, or use the vehicle interior lights to provide a prompt.
