[0031] It should be noted that the terms "a" and "a plurality of" used in this disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that, unless otherwise expressly indicated in the context, they should be understood as "one or more".

[0032] Typically, passengers in the rear seats or the front passenger seat of a vehicle have access to multimedia entertainment functions. However, these passengers have limited control over the vehicle, preventing them from exercising flexible control. To address this issue, this disclosure provides a method for controlling access permissions.

[0033] To better understand the inventive concept of the embodiments of this disclosure, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be described below in conjunction with exemplary embodiments.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an access control method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be executed by an access control device. Specifically, the access control device can be the main controller of the vehicle, or any terminal device on the vehicle capable of processing access control, without limitation.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the access control method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps.

[0036] S110. When the vehicle is not in motion, if at least one person gets out of the vehicle, then obtain image information of at least one person in the vehicle.

[0037] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the vehicle is not in motion, if at least one person gets out of the vehicle, the access control device acquires the image information of the at least one person.

[0038] The non-driving state can be either the vehicle being parked or the vehicle being stationary.

[0039] Optionally, at least one person inside the vehicle can be the driver, a passenger (i.e., a non-driver), or both the driver and a passenger.

[0040] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the vehicle is not in motion, the access control device can detect whether at least one person in the vehicle has gotten out of the vehicle by using a seat pressure sensor. Specifically, the seat pressure sensor can detect whether a person in the vehicle has gotten out of the vehicle by detecting changes in seat pressure. When the seat pressure sensor detects a pressure change, it sends the pressure change information to the access control device. The access control device analyzes the pressure change information to determine whether at least one person in the vehicle has gotten out of the vehicle.

[0041] In some other embodiments of this disclosure, when the vehicle is not in motion, the access control device can detect whether at least one person inside the vehicle has gotten out by using a door opening / closing detector. Specifically, the door opening / closing detector detects whether at least one person inside the vehicle has gotten out by checking the opening / closing status of the front and rear doors of the vehicle. When the door opening / closing detector detects a change in the opening / closing status of the vehicle, it sends the change information to the access control device. The access control device analyzes the door opening / closing status change information to determine whether at least one person inside the vehicle has gotten out.

[0042] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the vehicle is not in motion, the access control device can detect whether at least one person in the vehicle has gotten off the vehicle using an image sensor. Specifically, the image sensor can collect image information of the people in the vehicle in real time and send the image information to the access control device in real time. The access control device analyzes the image information and then determines whether at least one person in the vehicle has gotten off the vehicle.

[0043] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the vehicle is not in motion, the access control device can detect whether at least one person has gotten out of the vehicle by one or more combinations of seat pressure sensors, door open / close detectors, and image sensors. It can also use changes in odor to assist in the judgment, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the vehicle is not in motion and at least one person inside the vehicle is detected getting out, the access control device can trigger the vehicle surround view camera system to acquire image information of at least one person inside the vehicle.

[0045] The vehicle surround view camera system is installed on the exterior of the vehicle. This system can be understood as a system containing various image acquisition devices. Specifically, these devices can include, but are not limited to, cameras, time-of-flight (TOF) cameras, lidar, ultrasonic radar, and other sensors with image acquisition capabilities; no restrictions are placed here.

[0046] Optionally, the image information of at least one person inside the vehicle may include full-body image information of at least one person inside the vehicle, the movement trajectory of at least one person inside the vehicle after getting out of the vehicle, and behavioral information.

[0047] Optionally, the most suitable image acquisition device can be selected to acquire image information of at least one person after they get off the vehicle, based on the distance of the trajectory of the at least one person after they get off the vehicle. If the distance of the trajectory of the at least one person after they get off the vehicle is far, the image information can be acquired by LiDAR. If the distance of the trajectory of the at least one person after they get off the vehicle is short, the image information can be acquired by one or more of a camera, a depth camera (TOF), and ultrasonic radar. There are no restrictions on this.

[0048] S120. Determine the position information of at least one person inside the vehicle relative to the vehicle based on the image information of at least one person inside the vehicle.

[0049] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after acquiring image information of at least one person inside the vehicle, the access control device determines the position information of at least one person inside the vehicle relative to the vehicle based on the image information of at least one person inside the vehicle.

[0050] Among them, the position information of at least one person in the vehicle relative to the vehicle can be understood as the relative positional relationship between at least one person in the vehicle and the vehicle, or as the location of at least one person in the vehicle within the vehicle.

[0051] Optionally, the location information may include the vehicle's location, such as the left front door, right rear door, front of the vehicle, or trunk, the distance from the vehicle, and other information that can characterize the relative position to the vehicle.

[0052] Specifically, after acquiring image information of at least one person inside the vehicle, the access control device analyzes the acquired image information of at least one person inside the vehicle and determines the position information of at least one person inside the vehicle relative to the vehicle based on the image analysis results.

[0053] S130. When the location information meets the first preset condition, the control permissions corresponding to the first preset condition are sent to the vehicle terminals corresponding to at least one other person in the vehicle, excluding at least one person in the vehicle.

[0054] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the access control device determines the position information of at least one person in the vehicle relative to the vehicle, it determines whether the position information meets the first preset condition. When the position information meets the first preset condition, the control permission corresponding to the first preset condition is sent to the vehicle terminal corresponding to at least one other person in the vehicle besides the at least one person in the vehicle.

[0055] The first preset condition is a condition that is pre-set and stored in the permission control device to indicate whether to send control permissions.

[0056] The first preset condition may include whether the distance between at least one person inside the vehicle and the vehicle meets a distance threshold, and the position condition of at least one person inside the vehicle relative to the vehicle.

[0057] Optionally, the distance threshold can be that the distance between at least one person inside the vehicle and the vehicle is less than 2m, and the position condition can be that the position of at least one person inside the vehicle relative to the vehicle is the door or the trunk.

[0058] Furthermore, when the location information meets the first preset condition, control permissions corresponding to the first preset condition are sent to the vehicle terminals corresponding to other vehicle occupants besides at least one occupant.

[0059] Optionally, the control permissions can be control permissions over the vehicle doors, control permissions over the vehicle trunk, etc., without limitation.

[0060] For example, when at least one person inside the vehicle is 1.5m away from the vehicle and is located in the trunk of the vehicle, the position information of at least one person inside the vehicle relative to the vehicle satisfies a first preset condition. The control permission corresponding to the first preset condition can be the permission to open or close the trunk. Then, the permission control device sends the permission to open or close the trunk to the vehicle terminal corresponding to other people inside the vehicle besides at least one person inside the vehicle.

[0061] For example, if at least one person inside the vehicle is 1.5m away from the vehicle, but the position of at least one person inside the vehicle is at the left front of the vehicle, then the position information of at least one person inside the vehicle does not meet the first preset condition. In this case, the access control device will not perform any operation.

[0062] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the vehicle terminal can be a screen, speaker, or other device installed inside the vehicle, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0063] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the vehicle terminal is a screen installed inside the vehicle, the access control device sends access control information to the screen and displays it on the screen, so that other people in the vehicle, except for at least one person in the vehicle, can perform access control operations on the corresponding screen.

[0064] In some other embodiments of this disclosure, when the vehicle terminal is a speaker installed inside the vehicle, the access control device sends control access information to the speakers corresponding to other occupants besides at least one occupant via voice, and the other occupants besides at least one occupant perform access control operations via voice.

[0065] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the access control device can acquire image information of at least one person inside the vehicle when the vehicle is not in motion and at least one person inside the vehicle has disembarked. Based on the acquired image information of at least one person inside the vehicle, the device determines the position information of at least one person inside the vehicle relative to the vehicle. When the position information meets a first preset condition, the device sends the control permission corresponding to the first preset condition to the vehicle terminal corresponding to at least one other person inside the vehicle. Thus, other people inside the vehicle can flexibly control the vehicle through the control permission of the corresponding vehicle terminal, thereby improving the passenger experience.

[0066] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, at least one person inside the vehicle includes a driver.

[0067] Furthermore, in the above embodiment S130 of this disclosure, sending the control authority corresponding to the first preset condition to the vehicle terminal corresponding to other vehicle occupants besides at least one vehicle occupant includes: sending the control authority corresponding to the first preset condition to the vehicle terminal corresponding to other occupants besides the driver.

[0068] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the access control device can detect at least one person in the vehicle when the vehicle is not in motion and at least one person in the vehicle has gotten out of the vehicle, and determine whether the at least one person in the vehicle includes the driver. When the at least one person in the vehicle includes the driver, the control permission corresponding to the first preset condition is sent to the vehicle terminal corresponding to the other person besides the driver.

[0069] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the access control device detects whether at least one person in the vehicle has gotten off the vehicle through the seat pressure sensor, it analyzes the pressure change information sent by the pressure sensor to determine that at least one person in the vehicle has gotten off the vehicle. At the same time, it judges the seat position corresponding to the pressure sensor through the device identifier of the pressure sensor, and then determines whether at least one person in the vehicle includes the driver based on the seat position. When the seat position includes the driver's position, it is determined that at least one person in the vehicle includes the driver.

[0070] In other embodiments of this disclosure, when the access control device detects whether at least one person in the vehicle has gotten off through the door opening / closing detector, it analyzes the door opening / closing status change information sent by the door opening / closing detector to determine when at least one person in the vehicle has gotten off. At the same time, it judges the position of the door by the position identifier of the door in the door opening / closing status change information, and then determines whether at least one person in the vehicle includes the driver based on the seat position. When the position of the door includes the door position corresponding to the driver, such as the left front door, it is determined that at least one person in the vehicle includes the driver.

[0071] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the access control device detects whether at least one person in the vehicle has gotten off the vehicle using an image sensor, it analyzes the image information sent by the image sensor and determines that at least one person in the vehicle has gotten off the vehicle. At the same time, it matches the facial image features of at least one person in the vehicle in the image information with the facial image features of the driver that are pre-stored in the access control device. When the facial image features of at least one person in the vehicle successfully match the facial image features of the driver, it is determined that at least one person in the vehicle includes the driver.

[0072] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the access control device may use one or more combinations of seat pressure sensors, door open / close detectors, and image sensors to determine whether at least one person getting out of the vehicle includes the driver, thereby improving the accuracy of the determination.

[0073] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the access control device determines that at least one person in the vehicle includes the driver, it sends the control permissions corresponding to the first preset condition to the vehicle terminal corresponding to the other person besides the driver.

[0074] In some embodiments of this disclosure, at least one person in the vehicle includes only the driver. In this case, the access control device sends the control permissions corresponding to the first preset condition to the vehicle terminal corresponding to the other person besides the driver, and the vehicle terminal corresponding to the other person besides the driver performs the corresponding access control operation.

[0075] In other embodiments of this disclosure, at least one person in the vehicle includes a driver and a passenger. In this case, the access control device sends the control permissions corresponding to the first preset condition to the vehicle terminals of other persons besides the driver. Other persons in the vehicle can perform corresponding access control operations through their corresponding vehicle terminals, or through the vehicle terminals of passengers who have disembarked.

[0076] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the access control device can send the control permissions corresponding to the first preset conditions to the in-vehicle terminals of other persons other than the driver when at least one person in the vehicle is present. Other persons who have not gotten out of the vehicle can not only perform corresponding access control operations on their corresponding in-vehicle terminals, but also on the in-vehicle terminals of other persons who have gotten out of the vehicle other than the driver. This further facilitates access control operations for other persons who have not gotten out of the vehicle and further improves the passenger experience.

[0077] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, at least one person inside the vehicle is not a driver.

[0078] Furthermore, in the above embodiment S130 of this disclosure, sending the control authority corresponding to the first preset condition to the vehicle terminal corresponding to at least one other person in the vehicle, excluding at least one person in the vehicle, includes: sending the control authority corresponding to the first preset condition to the vehicle terminal corresponding to the driver.

[0079] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the access control device can detect at least one person in the vehicle when the vehicle is not in motion and at least one person in the vehicle has gotten out of the vehicle, determine that at least one person in the vehicle is not the driver, and when at least one person in the vehicle is not the driver, send the control permission corresponding to the first preset condition to the vehicle terminal corresponding to the driver.

[0080] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the method by which the access control device determines whether at least one person inside the vehicle is not a driver is similar to the method described above for determining whether at least one person inside the vehicle is a driver, and will not be repeated here.

[0081] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the access control device determines that at least one person in the vehicle is not the driver, it sends the control permissions corresponding to the first preset condition to the vehicle terminal corresponding to the driver. Thus, the driver can perform corresponding access control operations on its corresponding vehicle terminal through the control permissions sent by the access control device, or the driver can be reminded by the control permissions sent by the access control device, and the driver can perform corresponding access control operations according to the existing permissions, thereby further improving the driving experience.

[0082] The S120 will be described in detail below.

[0083] In this embodiment of the disclosure, determining the position information of at least one person inside a vehicle relative to the vehicle based on image information of at least one person inside the vehicle includes: analyzing the image information of at least one person inside the vehicle to obtain image analysis results; and determining the position information of at least one person inside the vehicle relative to the vehicle based on the image analysis results.

[0084] Optionally, the image analysis results may include the real-time location of at least one person inside the vehicle, the relative position of the real-time location to the vehicle, the location of the real-time location within the vehicle, the distance between the real-time location and the relative position to the vehicle, and the behavior of at least one person inside the vehicle.

[0085] Optionally, the actions may include hand movements, body movements, etc.

[0086] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the access control device acquires image information of at least one person inside the vehicle, it inputs the image information into a pre-trained machine learning model to analyze the image information and obtain image analysis results. Based on one or more of the following in the image analysis results, the position information of at least one person inside the vehicle relative to the vehicle is determined: the real-time path location of at least one person inside the vehicle, the relative position of the real-time path location to the vehicle, the direction of the real-time path location within the vehicle, and the distance between the real-time path location and the relative position of the vehicle. This can improve the accuracy of determining the position information of at least one person inside the vehicle relative to the vehicle.

[0087] In this embodiment of the disclosure, before sending the control permissions corresponding to the first preset condition to the in-vehicle terminals corresponding to other in-vehicle personnel other than at least one in-vehicle personnel, the permission control method further includes: determining the notification method for control permissions based on the type of the target application currently running on the in-vehicle terminals corresponding to other in-vehicle personnel and the running status of the target application.

[0088] The target application can be any application currently running on the vehicle terminal.

[0089] Optionally, the type of target application may include navigation applications, video applications, audio applications, text and image applications, and other application types, without limitation.

[0090] Optionally, the running state of the target application may include full-screen running state, non-full-screen running state, and background running state.

[0091] Full-screen operation refers to the state in which the application interface of the target application is displayed and run across the entire screen.

[0092] Non-full-screen operation can include windowed operation and split-screen operation. Windowed operation refers to the application interface being displayed in a non-full-screen window on the screen, while split-screen operation refers to the screen being divided into multiple display areas and the application interface being displayed in any one of those areas.

[0093] Background running state refers to the state in which the target application's window is minimized and runs in the background.

[0094] In this embodiment of the disclosure, before sending control permissions, the access control device first determines the notification method for control permissions based on the type and running status of the target application currently running on the in-vehicle terminals of other in-vehicle personnel.

[0095] Optionally, the reminder method may include displaying a pop-up reminder in a blank area of ​​the screen, displaying a pop-up reminder in the middle or a prominent area of ​​the screen, displaying a pop-up reminder near the edge of the screen, or providing a reminder via voice.

[0096] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the target application type of the permission control device is an application type such as video or text that requires screen display to achieve the purpose of running the target application, if the target application is in full-screen running state, a pop-up reminder is displayed at the edge of the screen; if the target application is in non-full-screen running state, a pop-up reminder is displayed in the blank area of ​​the screen; if the target application is in background running state, a pop-up reminder is displayed in the middle or a prominent area of ​​the screen. When the target application type of the permission control device is audio or other application types that do not necessarily require screen display to achieve the purpose of running the target application, a pop-up reminder is displayed in the middle or a prominent area of ​​the screen.

[0097] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the access control device determines that the target application being run on the vehicle terminal corresponding to other in-vehicle personnel is a video application and the target application is running in full-screen mode, a pop-up reminder is displayed at the edge of the screen.

[0098] In other embodiments of this disclosure, when the access control device determines that the target application being run on the vehicle terminal corresponding to another person in the vehicle is an audio application and the target application is running in full-screen mode, a pop-up reminder is displayed in the middle or a prominent area of ​​the screen.

[0099] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the access control device determines that the target application being run on the vehicle terminal corresponding to other in-vehicle personnel is a text and image application and the target application is running in a non-full-screen state, a pop-up reminder is displayed in a blank area of ​​the screen.

[0100] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the vehicle terminal is a speaker, the access control device can provide reminders via voice.

[0101] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the access control device can determine the notification method for control permissions based on the type and running status of the target application currently running on the in-vehicle terminal corresponding to other occupants. Thus, it can meet the needs of other occupants for in-vehicle terminals by dynamically adjusting permissions in real time, thereby further improving the passenger experience.

[0102] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the permission control method further includes: determining the state and size of the handheld item of at least one person in the vehicle based on the image information of at least one person in the vehicle; when the state and size of the handheld item meet a second preset condition, sending the control permission corresponding to the second preset condition to the vehicle terminal corresponding to at least one other person in the vehicle besides the at least one person in the vehicle.

[0103] Optionally, the state of holding an item can include whether the item is being held, whether it is held with one hand, or whether it is held with both hands.

[0104] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the access control device inputs the image information of at least one person inside the vehicle into a pre-trained machine learning model to obtain image analysis results. Based on the full-body image information and hand movement information of at least one person inside the vehicle in the image analysis results, the device determines the state and size of the item held by at least one person inside the vehicle.

[0105] Furthermore, the second preset condition may include whether the item is held in hand, whether it is held with one hand or two hands, and a threshold for the size of the item.

[0106] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the access control device determines that at least one person in the vehicle is holding an item with both hands and the item is large, and the item is located in the trunk of the vehicle, the access control device sends the access permission to open the trunk to the vehicle terminals corresponding to other persons in the vehicle besides the at least one person in the vehicle. The other persons in the vehicle can then open the trunk using this access permission.

[0107] In other embodiments of this disclosure, when the access control device determines that at least one person in the vehicle is holding an item with one hand and the item is small, and is located at the right front door of the vehicle, the access control device sends the permission to open the right front door to the vehicle terminal corresponding to other persons in the vehicle besides at least one person in the vehicle, and the other persons in the vehicle open the right front door with the permission.

[0108] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the access control device can send corresponding control permissions based on the state and size of the items held by at least one person in the vehicle and the position information of at least one person in the vehicle relative to the vehicle, which further improves the accuracy of control permissions and enhances the passenger experience.

[0109] In this embodiment of the disclosure, Figure 2 A flowchart of another access control method is provided, with the specific steps as follows.

[0110] S210. When the vehicle is not in motion, if at least one person gets out of the vehicle, then obtain image information of at least one person in the vehicle.

[0111] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the vehicle is not in motion and at least one person inside the vehicle has exited the vehicle, the access control device activates the vehicle surround view camera system to collect image information of at least one person inside the vehicle. The vehicle surround view camera system then sends the collected image information to the access control device, thereby obtaining image information of at least one person inside the vehicle.

[0112] S220. Based on the image information of at least one person inside the vehicle, determine the position information of at least one person inside the vehicle relative to the vehicle, as well as the state and size of the items held by at least one person inside the vehicle.

[0113] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after the access control device obtains the image information of at least one person in the vehicle, it inputs it into a pre-trained machine learning model for image analysis to obtain the image analysis results. Then, based on the image analysis results, it determines the position information of at least one person in the vehicle relative to the vehicle, as well as the state and size of the items held by at least one person in the vehicle.

[0114] S230. Determine the notification method for control permissions based on the type and running status of the target application currently running on the in-vehicle terminals corresponding to other in-vehicle personnel.

[0115] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the access control device analyzes the type and running status of the target application running on the vehicle terminal corresponding to other occupants before, after, or simultaneously with determining the location information of at least one occupant relative to the vehicle and the state and size of the handheld item of at least one occupant, thereby determining an appropriate control permission reminder method.

[0116] S240. When the location information meets the first preset condition and the state and size of the held item meet the second preset condition, the control permissions corresponding to the simultaneous satisfaction of the first and second preset conditions are sent to the vehicle terminal corresponding to at least one other person in the vehicle besides the person in the vehicle.

[0117] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the location information meets the first preset condition and the state and size of the held item meet the second preset condition, the access control device sends the control permissions corresponding to the first and second preset conditions to the vehicle terminal corresponding to at least one other person in the vehicle, according to a pre-determined appropriate control permission reminder method.
