Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent networks, and in particular relates to a static vehicle system, a vehicle and a control method. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Cars, especially pure electric vehicles, have gradually become a common means of transportation. Compared to fuel-powered vehicles, pure electric vehicles offer a better user experience by simplifying operations such as unlocking, ignition, gear shifting, shutting off, and locking the vehicle. Consequently, more pure electric vehicles are designed around the following scenarios: approach the vehicle to unlock → open the door and apply high voltage → brake and shift gears → automatically lock the vehicle when leaving → identify the vehicle, lock it, and power it off.

[0004] However, when a vehicle is used for static purposes such as exhibitions and outdoor camping, users expect the vehicle to remain powered on, have limited start-up and shifting restrictions, prevent the doors from automatically locking, and prevent key-forgotten reminders from being triggered. However, when a vehicle is used for a static exhibition experience or when children are parked outdoors playing in the vehicle, owners often leave their keys inside, which can easily trigger the vehicle's lock, power-off, and key-forgotten reminders, causing inconvenience. Furthermore, leaving the keys inside can create safety hazards such as the vehicle being illegally started and driven in an unsupervised environment.

[0005] Existing static vehicle use systems, also known as "show car mode," primarily serve OEM sales teams. These systems restrict certain vehicle functions through diagnostic instruments or back-end diagnostic systems. However, these systems present significant inconveniences and limitations. These limitations primarily require specialized technicians to use external equipment to restrict and unrestrict vehicle functions. Furthermore, these systems are unavailable to vehicle purchasers and lack the ability to display vehicle promotional materials on the vehicle's large screen. This results in cumbersome use, a lack of coverage for the vehicle-buying user base, and a lack of OEM multi-dimensional promotional capabilities, severely impacting the user experience.

[0006] Therefore, when the vehicle is in a static state, the vehicle needs to maintain power, limit starting and shifting, limit the door locks from automatically locking, and not trigger the key forgotten reminder. However, current vehicles cannot achieve the above target functions when in a static state, or achieving the above functions requires additional external technical operations, which are difficult to integrate into the vehicle, causing many inconveniences in use. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a static vehicle use system and control method, which can achieve the required vehicle state when the vehicle is in static use and avoid the safety hazard of illegal starting and driving of the vehicle.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, one or more embodiments of the present invention provide the following technical solutions:

[0009] In a first aspect, a static vehicle system is disclosed, comprising:

[0010] An input unit, used to input vehicle information required by the vehicle in a static vehicle use state;

[0011] The decision-making unit receives data transmitted by the input unit and monitors the vehicle status in real time. If the set conditions are met at the same time, the vehicle is activated to the static vehicle state function;

[0012] The execution unit executes the usage operations that the vehicle can meet in the static vehicle use state after activating the vehicle to be in the static vehicle use state function.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the input unit includes:

[0014] Body Controller (BCM), used to provide power status information and key location information;

[0015] Vehicle controller VCU, used to provide vehicle gear information, EPB status information, and vehicle speed information;

[0016] The cloud platform TSP is used to provide updated information for the promotional page;

[0017] The airbag controller ABM is used to provide information on whether there is a occupant in the driver's seat.

[0018] As a further technical solution, the execution unit includes:

[0019] The vehicle large screen controller IHU is used to execute page display and human-computer interaction switches;

[0020] The body controller (BCM) is used to execute and release the inhibition of the forgotten key reminder function, the vehicle lock function, and the defense function;

[0021] The vehicle controller VCU is used to execute and release READY disable, gear shift disable, and EPB release disable.

[0022] In a second aspect, a static vehicle control method is disclosed, comprising:

[0023] Obtain the vehicle information required when the vehicle is in static use;

[0024] Based on the obtained vehicle information, the vehicle status is monitored in real time. If the set conditions are met at the same time, the vehicle is activated to the static vehicle status function;

[0025] After activating the vehicle's static vehicle use state function, perform the usage operations that the vehicle can meet in the static vehicle use state.

[0026] As a further technical solution, before obtaining the vehicle information required when the vehicle is in a static state, a vehicle self-check is required to ensure that the vehicle has no faults.

[0027] As a further technical solution, before activating the vehicle's static vehicle use status function, it is necessary to complete the vehicle READY status confirmation. If the vehicle is in the READY status, the function will be exited and not executed; if the vehicle is not in the READY status, the function of activating the vehicle's static vehicle use status will be determined.

[0028] As a further technical solution, real-time monitoring of vehicle status is carried out, specifically including:

[0029] Real-time monitoring of the vehicle's gear status, EPB status, vehicle speed, and physical key position. If all of the following conditions are met at the same time: the vehicle gear is in P gear, the EPB is in the up state, the vehicle speed is 0, and the physical key is within the start authentication range, the activation success function is turned on. Otherwise, if any of the above conditions is not met, the user will be prompted through the large screen to perform corresponding operations to achieve the condition compliance state.

[0030] As a further technical solution, after activating the static vehicle state function, the following operations are performed that can be performed on the vehicle in the static vehicle state:

[0031] Execute the key forgotten reminder function suppression to ensure that the reminder function is not triggered when the user carries the key in and out of the vehicle;

[0032] Execute ready disable to keep the P gear unresponsive to shifting to avoid the safety risks caused by unauthorized driving of the vehicle by occupants;

[0033] Check whether EPB is disabled to ensure that the vehicle does not roll down the slope;

[0034] Disable the vehicle unlocking function to facilitate people to enter and exit the vehicle freely;

[0035] Disable the arming function to avoid people being trapped in the vehicle after an incorrect arming operation.

[0036] As a further technical solution, after activating the vehicle to the static vehicle state function, the following is also included:

[0037] Determine whether the promotional function is turned on: if the promotional function is not turned on, directly enter the normal car interface; if the promotional function is turned on, further confirm the update of the cloud service content. If the promotional content is updated, execute the promotional page interface display pushed by the background, otherwise execute the locally preset promotional page interface display.

[0038] As a further technical solution, during the activation of the function, if the driver is present and the physical key is within the start authentication range, the system can be turned off through a soft switch on the large screen;

[0039] After the system is shut down, the key forgotten reminder function will be disabled, the ready mode will be disabled and kept in P gear, the gear shift response will be restored, the EPB will be disabled, the lock function will be disabled when leaving the vehicle, the arming function will be disabled, and the promotional page interface will be exited.

[0040] In a third aspect, a vehicle is disclosed, which adopts the above-mentioned static vehicle use system or static vehicle use control method to ensure that the vehicle has a static vehicle use function.

[0041] One or more of the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0042] The present invention is based on the power status information, key position information, vehicle gear information, vehicle EPB status information, vehicle speed information, promotional page update information, and information on the presence of a person in the main driver's seat provided by relevant controllers. Based on the premise of safety, the present invention realizes the opening and closing of the static use system of the pure electric vehicle, taking into account the exhibition and sales needs of the main engine manufacturer and the static use needs of personal vehicles. At the same time, it realizes remote customization and push of vehicle promotional content in the background, taking into account both the main engine manufacturer and C-end users, simplifying the function use steps, and providing a better user experience.

[0043] Advantages of additional aspects of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and in part will be obvious from the following description, or will be learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0048] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0049] It should be noted that the terms used herein are for describing particular embodiments only and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention.

[0050] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof may be combined with each other.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] This embodiment discloses a static vehicle system. Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0053] An input unit, used to input vehicle information required by the vehicle in a static vehicle use state;

[0054] The decision-making unit receives data transmitted by the input unit and monitors the vehicle status in real time. If the set conditions are met at the same time, the vehicle is activated to the static vehicle state function;

[0055] The execution unit executes the usage operations that the vehicle can meet in the static vehicle use state after activating the vehicle to be in the static vehicle use state function.

[0056] The above input unit includes:

[0057] Body Controller (BCM), used to provide power status information and key location information;

[0058] Vehicle controller VCU, used to provide vehicle gear information, EPB status information, and vehicle speed information;

[0059] The cloud platform TSP is the OEM cloud platform used to provide promotional page update information;

[0060] The airbag controller ABM is used to provide information on whether there is a occupant in the driver's seat.

[0061] The execution unit includes:

[0062] The vehicle large screen controller IHU is used to display promotional pages and switch human-computer interaction;

[0063] The body controller (BCM) is used to execute and release the inhibition of the forgotten key reminder function, the vehicle lock function, and the defense function;

[0064] The vehicle controller VCU is used to execute and release READY disable, gear shift disable, and EPB release disable.

[0065] The decision-making unit is the IHU module, specifically the large-screen controller of the vehicle computer.

[0066] In this embodiment, the IHU (in-vehicle large screen controller) collects power status information, key position information, vehicle gear information, vehicle EPB status information, vehicle speed information, promotional page update information, and information on whether there is a person in the main driver's seat through relevant controllers.

[0067] After the vehicle's large-screen controller collects the above information, it comprehensively judges the working conditions of the pure electric vehicle's static vehicle system, and at the same time gives prompts for states that do not meet the system's working conditions. After activation, it forms a mechanism that disables the vehicle's READY, gear shifting, EPB release, forgotten key reminder function, vehicle lock function, and defense function, and actively accepts and displays promotional pages, achieving a good and convenient pure electric vehicle static vehicle effect.

[0068] The technical solution disclosed in this embodiment enables vehicle readiness restrictions, power-off restrictions, and pre-set promotional interfaces in vehicle sales scenarios. In outdoor camping scenarios, it prevents the vehicle from being powered on and triggering normal power-off logic when leaving the vehicle with the key, and also enables vehicle readiness restrictions. This improves the user experience for OEMs and car owners, while protecting personal and property safety.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] This embodiment discloses a static vehicle control method. Figure 1 、 2 As shown, including:

[0071] Step (1) Startup conditions: The vehicle ignition switch is switched from OFF to ON, and the static vehicle system of the pure electric vehicle completes a self-test within a certain period of time. The self-test content includes the input unit, decision unit, and execution unit. After the self-test is completed, if the system controller has no faults, that is, it meets the start-up requirements, the system will remain in the maintenance state and the large screen will not display anything. If the start-up requirements are not met, the system will fail, the system function will fail, and the large screen will display a fault exit message.

[0072] The above steps limit the premise of static vehicle use, clarify the power gear, and proactively perform self-inspection in advance to avoid self-inspection feedback when the user is using the vehicle, which affects the user experience.

[0073] The self-check process can adopt the existing vehicle self-check process, including: controller fault self-check, for example, when there is a communication problem, boot problem, or loading problem, the corresponding fault light will appear on the instrument panel, and the controller working status of the input unit, decision unit, and execution unit will be actively collected during static vehicle use to evaluate whether the system can be guaranteed to work normally.

[0074] Step (2) Activate the static vehicle function through the soft switch in the large screen. Before activation, complete the vehicle READY status confirmation. If the vehicle is in the READY state, exit without executing; if the vehicle is not in the READY state, proceed to the next step.

[0075] In view of the fact that the existing technology requires the use of a diagnostic instrument to flash and key reuse activation when realizing static use of the vehicle, which is easy to cause misoperation or lead to new operational problems, it is inconvenient. In the solution of the present invention, the large screen is equipped with a soft switch, and the function operation is convenient to use.

[0076] Step (3) monitors the vehicle's gear position, EPB status, vehicle speed, and physical key position in real time. If the vehicle is in P gear, the EPB is in the up position, the vehicle speed is 0, and the physical key is within the start authentication range, activation is successful and the static vehicle function is enabled. Otherwise, if any of the above conditions are not met, the user is prompted on the large screen to perform the corresponding operation to achieve the condition compliance state.

[0077] In this step, the safety factor is fully considered to ensure that the vehicle is in a static state and the person using this function has the authentication device (key).

[0078] After the step (4) function is turned on, the key forgotten reminder function is immediately suppressed to ensure that the reminder function is not triggered when the user carries the key in and out of the vehicle;

[0079] Execute ready disable to keep the P gear unresponsive to shifting to avoid the safety risks caused by unauthorized driving of the vehicle by occupants;

[0080] Check whether EPB is disabled to prevent the vehicle from rolling down a slope, and disable the vehicle lock function to facilitate free entry and exit of the vehicle.

[0081] Disable the arming function to avoid people being trapped in the vehicle after an incorrect arming operation.

[0082] In this step, the key forgotten reminder is shielded. In this scenario, there is no need to remind the user that he has forgotten his keys. This operation can prevent the key forgotten reminder from causing the user to receive unnecessary information.

[0083] Step (5) After the static vehicle use function is turned on, a determination is made as to whether the promotion function is turned on. If the promotion function is not turned on, the normal vehicle interface is directly entered; if the promotion function is turned on, the cloud service content is further confirmed to be updated. If the promotion content is updated, the promotion page interface pushed by the background is displayed; otherwise, the locally preset promotion page interface is displayed.

[0084] In this step, the update push processing of the above information enables the vehicle in static use to have a highly customized electronic poster promotion function, rather than just a restriction that prohibits the vehicle from driving.

[0085] Step (6) System shutdown conditions: During the activation of the static vehicle function, if the main driver is occupied and the physical key is within the startup authentication range, the static vehicle function can be turned off through the large screen soft switch. After the static vehicle function is turned off, the key forgotten reminder function is suppressed, the ready position is disabled and the P gear is maintained, the gear shift response is restored, the EPB is disabled, the exit lock function is suppressed, the defense function is disabled, and the promotional page interface is exited.

[0086] The static vehicle control system returns to its original state after being shut down, in line with typical vehicle usage habits. Safety constraints have also been implemented for the shutdown conditions, ensuring that a driver carrying an authentication device (key) is present in the vehicle to execute the exit. This allows the driver to mitigate risks to a certain extent in the event of an unexpected situation.

[0087] The technical solution of this embodiment is used to meet the display needs of the main engine manufacturer's vehicle sales and the static and convenient vehicle use needs of the purchased vehicle owners, while realizing remote customization and push of vehicle promotional content in the background, optimizing the user experience, and enriching the main engine manufacturer's promotion and publicity channels.

[0088] Compared with the traditional partial functional limitations provided by local or remote diagnostic services, the technical solution of this embodiment can achieve better results in terms of ease of use, user group coverage, and multi-dimensional publicity by OEMs, and effectively play the role of this function.

[0089] Example 3

[0090] The purpose of this embodiment is to provide a vehicle, which adopts the above-mentioned static vehicle use system or static vehicle use control method to ensure that the vehicle has a static vehicle use function.

[0091] The technical solution disclosed in this embodiment does not cause changes in the hardware structure. It realizes the static use of pure electric vehicles based on vehicle local control + remote configuration, takes into account both the OEM and C-end users, simplifies the function use steps, optimizes the function use experience, expands the function use audience range, and broadens the OEM's publicity channels. The advantages are particularly prominent.

[0092] Although the above describes the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention without any creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
