Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of animation and interactive technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for displaying vehicle startup animation. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, in order to improve the user experience, vehicle digital LCD instrument panels and in-vehicle touch screen user interfaces have been designed with boot animations.

[0003] Currently, although the user interface (UI) design considers unifying the interface style of the instrument cluster and vehicle infotainment system boot animations, the fact that most instrument clusters and vehicle infotainment systems have their own processors and that the display and control of their boot animations are independent results in a monotonous and uninspiring display, negatively impacting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a method, device, electronic device, and storage medium for displaying vehicle startup animations, in order to solve the problem of the limited display methods for instrument panel and vehicle infotainment system startup animations.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for displaying a vehicle startup animation is provided, wherein the method includes:

[0006] With the vehicle's instrument panel powered on, the instrument panel processor controls the instrument display to show the first startup animation.

[0007] If the preset animation interaction conditions are detected, the instrument processor sends bus information to the vehicle processor via a data cable;

[0008] When the vehicle's infotainment system is powered on and the infotainment processor receives the bus information, the infotainment processor controls the infotainment display to show an interactive animation corresponding to the first startup animation.

[0009] According to another aspect of the present invention, a display device for a vehicle startup animation is provided, wherein the device comprises:

[0010] The instrument panel animation display module is used to control the instrument panel display to display the first startup animation when the vehicle's instrument panel is powered on, via the instrument panel processor.

[0011] The bus information sending module is used to send bus information to the vehicle system processor via a data line through the instrument processor if a preset animation interaction condition is detected.

[0012] The vehicle infotainment animation display module is used to control the vehicle infotainment display to display an interactive animation corresponding to the first startup animation when the vehicle infotainment system is powered on and the vehicle infotainment processor receives the bus information.

[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device comprising:

[0014] At least one processor; and

[0015] A memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein,

[0016] The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by the at least one processor, the computer program being executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform the vehicle startup animation display method according to any embodiment of the present invention.

[0017] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions, the computer instructions being configured to cause a processor to execute and implement the vehicle startup animation display method according to any embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] The technical solution of this invention, when the vehicle's instrument panel is powered on, controls the instrument panel display to show a first startup animation via an instrument panel processor, thus enhancing the user experience. If a preset animation interaction condition is detected, the instrument panel processor sends bus information to the vehicle's infotainment system processor via a data cable. Sending bus information improves transmission efficiency and ensures accurate connection of interactive animations. When the vehicle's infotainment system is powered on and the vehicle's infotainment system processor receives the bus information, the vehicle's infotainment system processor controls the vehicle's display to show an interactive animation corresponding to the first startup animation. By controlling two displays with two processors and sending bus information to achieve interaction between startup animations, this invention solves the technical problem of the instrument panel and infotainment system startup animations being monotonous and lacking vividness, and ensures smooth interaction between the startup animations of the instrument panel and the infotainment system.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a vehicle startup animation according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to interactive animation scenarios. The method can be executed by a vehicle startup animation display device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured within a vehicle. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0032] S110. With the vehicle's instrument panel already powered on, the instrument panel display is controlled by the instrument processor to show the first startup animation.

[0033] The vehicle's instrument panel can be understood as an instrument that can acquire and display data such as vehicle speed, mileage, engine speed, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the vehicle's instrument panel can be a digital LCD instrument panel. It is understood that, compared to traditional instrument panels, digital LCD instrument panels can be equipped with a digital LCD display screen, which can display a startup animation, improving the user experience.

[0034] The instrument display can be understood as a display tool installed on the vehicle's instrument panel, capable of displaying the first startup animation. Optionally, the instrument display can be a digital liquid crystal display screen.

[0035] The instrument processor can be understood as a functional unit that controls the vehicle's instrument panel. Optionally, the instrument processor can control the instrument display to show a first startup animation.

[0036] The first boot animation can be understood as the boot animation displayed on the instrument panel. In this embodiment of the invention, the first boot animation can be preset according to scenario requirements, and is not specifically limited here. Optionally, the first boot animation may be an animation reminding the user to drive safely, or an entertainment animation, etc.

[0037] Optionally, when the vehicle's instrument panel is powered on, controlling the instrument panel display to display the first startup animation via the instrument panel processor includes: when the vehicle's ignition switch is detected to be in the ignition state, controlling the instrument panel display to display the first startup animation via the instrument panel processor, and controlling the vehicle display to display the second startup animation via the vehicle system processor.

[0038] The ignition switch can be understood as a switch used to switch the vehicle's on or off state. Optionally, the ignition switch can be in an ignition state or an off state. The ignition state can be understood as switching the vehicle from an off state to an on state; the off state can be understood as switching the vehicle from an on state to an off state.

[0039] The second boot animation can be understood as the boot animation displayed on the vehicle's infotainment screen. In this embodiment of the invention, the first boot animation and the second boot animation can be boot animations of the same style but different content. The second boot animation can be preset according to scenario requirements, and is not specifically limited here. Optionally, the second boot animation can be an animation reminding the user to drive safely, or an entertainment animation, etc.

[0040] S120. If the preset animation interaction conditions are detected, the instrument processor sends bus information to the vehicle processor via a data cable.

[0041] The animation interaction conditions can be understood as the conditions for interacting with the first boot animation. In this embodiment of the invention, the animation interaction conditions can be preset according to scenario requirements, and are not specifically limited here. Optionally, the animation interaction conditions may be that the display duration of the first boot animation reaches a first preset duration; or that the first boot animation displays preset animation information, etc.

[0042] The bus information can be understood as information transmitted via the bus that enables interactive boot animation. Optionally, the bus information can be signals transmitted via the bus that enable interactive boot animation. It is understood that the bus signal transmission rate can be 250Kb / s; a higher transmission rate allows for smoother boot animation interaction.

[0043] The data line can be understood as a carrier for transmitting the bus information.

[0044] The vehicle infotainment processor can be understood as being able to accept and interpret the bus information, and control the functional units of the vehicle's infotainment system based on the bus information. Optionally, the vehicle infotainment processor can control the vehicle display to show an interactive animation corresponding to the first boot animation.

[0045] S130. When the vehicle's infotainment system is powered on and the infotainment processor has received the bus information, the infotainment processor controls the infotainment display to show an interactive animation corresponding to the first power-on animation.

[0046] The in-vehicle display can be understood as a display installed on the vehicle's infotainment system that can show interactive animations corresponding to the first boot-up animation. Optionally, the in-vehicle display can be a digital liquid crystal display screen.

[0047] The interactive animation can be understood as an animation displayed on the vehicle's infotainment display that interacts with the first boot-up animation displayed on the instrument cluster display. It is understood that the interactive animation can interact with the first boot-up animation by displaying animation elements that are the same as or corresponding to the first boot-up animation. In this embodiment of the invention, an interactive animation corresponding to the first boot-up animation can be pre-set.

[0048] The technical solution of this invention improves the user experience by controlling the instrument panel display to show a first boot animation when the vehicle's instrument panel is powered on, through an instrument panel processor. If a preset animation interaction condition is detected, the instrument panel processor sends bus information to the vehicle's infotainment system processor via a data cable. Sending bus information improves transmission efficiency and ensures accurate transitions between interactive animations. When the vehicle's infotainment system is powered on and the vehicle's infotainment system processor receives the bus information, the vehicle's infotainment system processor controls the vehicle's display to show an interactive animation corresponding to the first boot animation. By controlling two displays with two processors and sending bus information, the smoothness of the boot animation interaction is improved.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for displaying a vehicle startup animation according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In this embodiment, if a preset animation interaction condition is detected as being met, the instrument processor sends bus information to the vehicle processor via a data cable for additional processing.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0052] S210. When the vehicle's ignition switch is detected to be in the ignition state, the instrument processor controls the instrument display to display a first startup animation, and the vehicle processor controls the vehicle display to display a second startup animation.

[0053] S220. If the preset animation interaction conditions are detected, the instrument processor sends bus information to the vehicle processor via a data cable.

[0054] Optionally, the animation interaction conditions include at least one of the following conditions:

[0055] The first boot animation is displayed for a duration that reaches the first preset duration;

[0056] The first boot animation displays preset animation information;

[0057] The second boot animation is displayed for a duration that reaches the second preset duration.

[0058] Specifically, when the display duration of the first boot animation reaches a first preset duration, the instrument processor sends bus information to the vehicle system processor via a data cable. In this embodiment of the invention, the first preset duration can be preset according to scenario requirements and is not specifically limited here. Optionally, the first preset duration can be T1'.

[0059] Optionally, when preset animation information is displayed in the first boot animation, the instrument cluster processor sends bus information to the vehicle infotainment processor via a data cable. The preset animation information can be understood as the information contained in the first boot animation. Optionally, the preset animation information may be sound or image contained in the first boot animation. For example, the preset animation information may be a first image. Specifically, when the first image is displayed in the first boot animation, the instrument cluster processor sends bus information to the vehicle infotainment processor via a data cable.

[0060] Optionally, when the display duration of the second boot animation reaches a second preset duration, the instrument processor sends bus information to the vehicle system processor via a data cable. In this embodiment of the invention, the second preset duration can be preset according to scenario requirements and is not specifically limited here. It is understood that the first preset duration can be the same as the second preset duration. Optionally, the second preset duration can be T1'.

[0061] S230. When the vehicle's infotainment system is powered on and the infotainment processor has received the bus information, the infotainment processor controls the infotainment display to display an interactive animation corresponding to the first power-on animation.

[0062] S240. If the vehicle infotainment processor does not receive the bus information, and if it is detected that the display duration of the second boot animation reaches the preset animation switching duration, the vehicle infotainment processor controls the vehicle display to display an interactive animation corresponding to the first boot animation.

[0063] It is understood that after the instrument processor sends bus information to the vehicle infotainment processor via the data cable, the vehicle infotainment processor, upon receiving the bus information, controls the vehicle display to display an interactive animation corresponding to the first boot animation.

[0064] It is further understood that there may be situations where the vehicle infotainment processor fails to receive the bus information. Optionally, the failure of the vehicle infotainment processor to receive the bus information includes: the instrument cluster processor not sending the bus information, the data line malfunctioning, or the vehicle infotainment processor failing to receive the sent bus information.

[0065] It is understood that for the vehicle's infotainment system processor to receive the bus information, three basic steps are required: output, transmission, and input. Specifically, the instrument cluster processor sends the bus information; the data cable transmits the bus information; and the vehicle's infotainment system processor receives the bus information. A failure in any of these steps may result in the vehicle's infotainment system processor not receiving the bus information. Therefore, the situation where the vehicle's infotainment system processor fails to receive the bus information could be due to at least one of the following: the instrument cluster processor fails to send the bus information; the data cable malfunctions; or the vehicle's infotainment system processor fails to receive the sent bus information.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, when the vehicle-mounted processor does not receive the bus information, it is necessary to ensure the normal interaction of the boot animation. This can be achieved by the vehicle-mounted processor controlling the vehicle-mounted display to display an interactive animation corresponding to the first boot animation when the display duration of the second boot animation reaches a preset animation switching duration.

[0067] Optionally, controlling the vehicle display to display the interactive animation corresponding to the first boot animation via the vehicle processor includes: controlling the vehicle display to pause displaying the second boot animation and start displaying the interactive animation corresponding to the first boot animation via the vehicle processor.

[0068] It is understood that when the vehicle infotainment processor receives the bus information, the vehicle infotainment display may be displaying the second boot animation. Therefore, it is necessary to control the vehicle infotainment processor to pause the display of the second boot animation and start displaying the interactive animation corresponding to the first boot animation.

[0069] Furthermore, optionally, the method for displaying the vehicle startup animation also includes: after the interactive animation is displayed, continuing to display the second startup animation on the vehicle display.

[0070] Specifically, after the interactive animation is completed, the second boot animation can continue to be displayed on the vehicle's infotainment display.

[0071] Furthermore, the method for displaying the vehicle startup animation may also include: displaying the vehicle's main interface on the vehicle's display screen after the second startup animation has been displayed.

[0072] Similarly, the method for displaying the vehicle startup animation may also include: displaying the main interface of the instrument panel on the instrument display after the first startup animation has been displayed.

[0073] The technical solution of this invention, when the vehicle's infotainment system processor does not receive the bus information, if it detects that the display duration of the second boot animation has reached a preset animation switching duration, the vehicle's infotainment system processor controls the vehicle's display to show an interactive animation corresponding to the first boot animation. This ensures the normal operation of the boot animation interaction even when the vehicle's infotainment system processor does not receive the bus information.

[0074] Figure 3 This is an overall flowchart of a method for displaying a vehicle startup animation according to an embodiment of the present invention; as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the overall process of displaying the vehicle startup animation can be as follows:

[0075] 1. Turn on the ignition switch. This puts the vehicle's ignition switch in the ignition position.

[0076] 2. Instrument panel and infotainment system are powered on simultaneously. The instrument panel processor controls the instrument panel display to show a first startup animation, and the infotainment system processor controls the infotainment system to show a second startup animation.

[0077] 3. Send bus information. During the first boot animation display time T1, an interactive animation is displayed through the instrument panel display. At T1', it is necessary to interact with the vehicle display to perform a boot animation, and the instrument panel processor sends a bus signal to the vehicle display processor.

[0078] 4. The bus information is successfully received. When the in-vehicle processor receives the bus information sent by the instrument processor, the in-vehicle processor controls the in-vehicle display to show an interactive animation corresponding to the first startup animation for a display time of T1”; after T1’, the instrument display continues to show the first startup animation until the first startup animation is finished, and then starts to show the main content of the instrument display. After T1”, the in-vehicle display continues to show the second startup animation until it ends, and then starts to show the main content of the in-vehicle display (refer to Figure 4 ).

[0079] 5. The bus information reception fails. When the in-vehicle processor fails to receive the bus signal, that is, the in-vehicle processor does not receive the bus information after T1’, to ensure the normal operation of the interactive animation, after a preset time T2, the in-vehicle processor starts to show an interactive animation corresponding to the first startup animation for a display time of T’2; after T’2, the in-vehicle display continues to show the second startup animation until it ends, and then starts to show the main content of the in-vehicle display (refer to Figure 5 ).

[0080] Since most current instruments and in-vehicles have their own processors, adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention can effectively prevent inaccurate interactive connection and unsmooth display. When the first startup animation of the instrument is demonstrated to a certain moment, the instrument processor sends bus information to the in-vehicle processor through a data line. When the in-vehicle processor receives the bus information, the in-vehicle starts to run the interactive animation, realizing the linkage of the instrument and in-vehicle animations and ensuring the smoothness of the interaction.

[0084] The technical solution of this invention, when the vehicle's instrument panel is powered on, controls the instrument panel display to show a first startup animation via an instrument panel processor, thus enhancing the user experience. If a preset animation interaction condition is detected, the instrument panel processor sends bus information to the vehicle's infotainment system processor via a data cable. Sending bus information improves transmission efficiency and ensures accurate connection of interactive animations. When the vehicle's infotainment system is powered on and the vehicle's infotainment system processor receives the bus information, the vehicle's infotainment system processor controls the vehicle's display to show an interactive animation corresponding to the first startup animation. By controlling two displays with two processors and sending bus information to achieve interaction between startup animations, this invention solves the technical problem of the instrument panel and infotainment system startup animations being monotonous and lacking vividness, and ensures smooth interaction between the startup animations of the instrument panel and the infotainment system.

[0085] Optional, the instrument animation display module 310 is used for:

[0086] When the vehicle's ignition switch is detected to be in the ignition state, the instrument processor controls the instrument display to display a first startup animation, and the vehicle processor controls the vehicle display to display a second startup animation.

[0087] Optionally, the vehicle startup animation display device further includes a bus information transmission failure module.

[0088] The bus information transmission failure module is used to control the vehicle display to display an interactive animation corresponding to the first boot animation if the display duration of the second boot animation reaches a preset animation switching duration when the vehicle processor does not receive the bus information.

[0089] Optionally, the bus information not received by the vehicle infotainment processor includes: the instrument cluster processor not sending the bus information, the data line malfunctioning, or the vehicle infotainment processor failing to receive the sent bus information.

[0090] Optionally, the animation interaction conditions include at least one of the following conditions:

[0091] The first boot animation is displayed for a duration that reaches the first preset duration;

[0094] Optional, the vehicle-mounted animation display module 330 is used for:

[0095] The vehicle's infotainment system processor controls the vehicle's display to pause the second boot animation and begin displaying the interactive animation corresponding to the first boot animation.

[0096] Optionally, the vehicle startup animation display device may further include a continued display module.

[0097] The continued display module is used to continue displaying the second boot animation on the vehicle display after the interactive animation has been displayed.

[0098] The vehicle startup animation display device provided in this embodiment of the invention can execute the vehicle startup animation display method provided in any embodiment of the invention, and has the corresponding functional modules and beneficial effects of the execution method.
