In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] In order to make the design of atmosphere lights more practical, closer to life, and solve problems in life, the present invention provides a vehicle-mounted atmosphere light system and a control method for mapping the weather on the atmosphere lights, which can help drivers simplify life steps under the busy pace of life, bring intuitive experience, and make life more convenient, comfortable, and technological.

[0026] This embodiment is a specific example of the automotive atmosphere light control system, and the control system includes an interior atmosphere light display screen, an exterior atmosphere light display screen, an atmosphere light controller and a vehicle network.

[0027] The atmosphere light controller controls the display of the interior atmosphere light display screen and the exterior atmosphere light display screen. The vehicle network transmits the information to be acquired to the atmosphere light controller. The interior atmosphere light display screen and the exterior atmosphere light display screen display text and digital information.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the interior ambient light display installation area includes the instrument area to the co-pilot door panel. Figure 1The position shown in the figure is a through installation from the instrument area to the co-pilot door panel. You can also choose other installation lengths according to specific needs, such as installing it only in the instrument area, or only under the air outlet corresponding to the co-pilot.

[0029] The exterior ambient light display installation area includes the B-pillar area, the C-pillar area and the grille trim area. The exterior ambient light display can be installed in the B-pillar area, the C-pillar area and the grille trim area according to actual needs, or one or two of the areas can be selected for installation.

[0030] In this embodiment, the interior ambient light display screen and the exterior ambient light display screen are strip-shaped display screens with a width of 40 to 60 mm, which can be adjusted to a certain extent according to the specific vehicle model or design requirements.

[0031] The atmosphere lights in the interior atmosphere light display screen and the exterior atmosphere light display screen in this embodiment are matrix displays.

[0032] The vehicle network is connected to the Internet for information acquisition. In this embodiment, weather information is mainly acquired. Other information may also be acquired according to different needs, such as temperature information, air quality, clothing suggestions, and exercise suggestions.

[0033] This embodiment also provides a control method for the control system as described above, the control method comprising:

[0034] S1. Before departure, set the destination. The vehicle network obtains the destination weather and displays the destination weather in different time periods on the interior ambient light display or exterior ambient light display. All weather information is updated every hour to obtain the latest weather information in a timely manner.

[0035] As an extension of this embodiment, other information acquired by the vehicle network can be used as an object for display, such as displaying temperature information, air quality, etc.

[0036] This information can be displayed on the display screen together with weather information. When the displayed information is too redundant, the information to be displayed can be prioritized according to the needs of different customers.

[0037] The time period to be displayed is the difference between the departure time and the estimated arrival time; the total length of the ambient light display is D, and the minimum length of each time period is d, which can be changed. The minimum length of d is D / 6, and the maximum length is d=D. If the time area to be displayed is 1 hour, then d=D, if the time to be displayed is n hours and n≤6, d=D / n, if the time to be displayed is n hours and n>6, d=D / 6, and scroll left and right to display the weather conditions of all time periods, and display them in segments as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0038] As an extension of this embodiment, the display mode of the atmosphere light display screen can also be set differently, for example, double-row display can be performed.

[0039] S2. If no destination is set, when the car is started between 16:00 and 24:00 in the evening, the interior ambient light display or the exterior ambient light display will show the weather in the area the next morning.

[0040] When the car is started during other time periods, the local weather will be displayed on the interior ambient light display or exterior ambient light display in different time periods.

[0041] The time segment display is to display the weather conditions of the area in the next 6 hours, with 1 hour as a time segment, and is displayed on the atmosphere light display screen in six parts. The displayed results are as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0042] S3. Control the brightness of the interior ambient light display screen and the exterior ambient light display screen through the ambient light controller.
