[0027] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0028] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for controlling an in-vehicle air conditioner according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the control method may include:

[0029] Step S101: Identify the user image inside the vehicle to determine the user's exposed skin information;

[0030] Step S102: Determine the control parameters of the vehicle's air conditioning based on the information on exposed skin.

[0031] Step S103: Control the operation of the vehicle's air conditioning according to the control parameters.

[0032] The vehicle can be equipped with image sensors to capture user images. Image recognition of these images can determine the user's exposed skin information. For example, this information can be the area or percentage of exposed skin. In one example, a deep learning model can be trained using a large number of training samples. The trained model can then be used to detect exposed skin areas in user images, thereby determining the skin exposure information.

[0033] Furthermore, the control parameters of the vehicle's air conditioning can be determined based on skin exposure information. These control parameters include, but are not limited to, air conditioning mode, temperature zone, temperature, airflow, air vents, and airflow direction. Preset conditions can be set; for example, when the skin exposure information is the exposed skin area, the preset condition is a preset area value; when the skin exposure information is the exposed skin percentage, the preset condition is a preset percentage value.

[0034] In one example, step S102 may include: when the exposed skin area is greater than a preset area value or the exposed skin ratio is greater than a preset ratio value, determining that the temperature in the control parameters is higher than the standard temperature, the air volume is less than the standard air volume, the air outlet or air direction is not directed towards the user, the temperature zone is set to the area where the user is not present, and the air conditioning mode is cooling, etc.

[0035] In another example, step S102 may include: presetting multiple control modes, each control mode including setting values ​​for various control parameters. Each control mode corresponds one-to-one with each piece of skin exposure information, thereby determining the corresponding control mode based on the skin exposure information of the user in the vehicle, and then obtaining the setting values ​​for each control parameter under that control mode.

[0036] Figure 2 A schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario according to an embodiment of this application is shown. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle is equipped with an in-vehicle terminal 201, which can be hardware, such as a mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or other electronic device with a display screen. When the in-vehicle terminal 201 is software or an application (APP), it can be installed on the aforementioned electronic device. The server 202 can provide various services, such as supporting applications installed on the in-vehicle terminal 201. The method provided in this embodiment can be executed by the server 202 or by the in-vehicle terminal 201, and the corresponding apparatus can be located in the in-vehicle terminal 201 or the server 202. Any number of in-vehicle terminals, networks, and servers can be configured to meet specific needs.

[0037] In step S103, the vehicle terminal 201 can communicate with the air conditioning module 203 in the vehicle (e.g., via a CAN bus) and send control parameters to the air conditioning module 203 so that the air conditioning module 203 drives the corresponding air conditioning components to operate according to the control parameters. The vehicles in this embodiment include, but are not limited to, pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, and gasoline vehicles.

[0038] According to the control method of this application embodiment, the in-vehicle air conditioning can be adjusted humanely based on the user's skin exposure status, thereby improving the comfort of the in-vehicle environment and the user experience.

[0039] In one embodiment, step S102 may include: determining the wear information of the user inside the vehicle based on the user image when the skin exposure information meets preset conditions; and determining control parameters based on the wear information.

[0040] For example, as mentioned above, when the skin exposure information is the skin exposure area, the preset condition is a preset area value, and the skin exposure information meeting the preset condition may include the skin exposure area being less than the preset area value; when the skin exposure information is the skin exposure ratio, the preset condition is a preset ratio value, and the skin exposure information meeting the preset condition may include the skin exposure ratio being less than the preset ratio value.

[0041] Wearing information can include clothing type, such as a shirt, sweater, or jacket, and accessory type, such as a scarf or hat. For example, wearing information can include the thickness of the clothing; for instance, the thickness of the clothing can be determined based on its type.

[0042] In one example, a deep learning module can be trained based on a large number of training samples to detect wearable information based on user images.

[0043] For example, determining control parameters based on wear information may include, if it is determined from the wear information that the user in the vehicle is not wearing enough clothing, determining that the temperature is higher than the standard temperature, the air volume is less than the standard air volume, the air vent or air direction is not directed towards the user, and the temperature zone is set to an area where the user is not present.

[0044] In one example, multiple control modes can be preset, each including the setting values ​​for each control parameter. Each control mode corresponds one-to-one with a piece of wearable information, thereby determining the corresponding control mode based on the wearable information of the user in the vehicle, and then obtaining the setting values ​​for each control parameter under that control mode.

[0045] According to the method described in the embodiments of this application, when the user's skin is not exposed, the in-vehicle air conditioning can be controlled in a humane way according to the thickness of the user's clothing, so as to improve the comfort of the in-vehicle environment and the user experience.

[0046] In one implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the procedure before step S101 also includes:

[0047] Step S301: Obtain external environmental information, which includes at least one of the following: season, weather, and outside temperature.

[0048] Step S302: Predict whether the skin exposure information meets the preset conditions based on the external environment information of the vehicle;

[0049] Step S303: If it is predicted that the skin exposure information does not meet the preset conditions, proceed to step S101;

[0050] Step S304: If the predicted skin exposure information meets the preset conditions, identify the user image to determine the user's clothing information inside the vehicle; and proceed to step S305.

[0051] Step S305: Determine the control parameters based on the wearer information.

[0052] In other words, the system can predict a user's exposed skin based on external environmental information. If the exposed skin area is less than a preset value or the exposed skin percentage is less than a preset value, it indicates that the user is unlikely to be wearing short sleeves. Therefore, controlling the in-car air conditioning based on skin exposure information is not user-friendly. Instead, the control parameters for the in-car air conditioning can be determined based on the thickness of the user's clothing. Conversely, if the exposed skin area is greater than a preset value or the exposed skin percentage is greater than a preset value, it indicates that the user is very likely to be wearing short sleeves. Therefore, determining the control parameters for the in-car air conditioning based on skin exposure information is more user-friendly and helps improve the comfort of the in-car environment and the user experience.

[0053] In one application example, the external environment information is the current season. Step S302 may include: if the current season is summer, the prediction result is that the skin exposure information meets the preset conditions; if the current season is spring, autumn or winter, the prediction result is that the skin exposure information does not meet the preset conditions.

[0054] In one implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S102 may include:

[0055] Step S401: Detect whether the users inside the vehicle are the preset temperature-sensitive group;

[0056] Step S402: Determine the control parameters based on the test results and skin exposure information.

[0057] Specifically, temperature-sensitive groups can be pre-defined; for example, the elderly and children can be designated as temperature-sensitive groups based on their age. In one example, the age of a user in the vehicle can be detected based on their image, thereby determining whether the user is elderly or a child, and thus whether they fall into the temperature-sensitive group. In another example, the user's identification information, such as their account number, can be obtained, and their age can be determined based on this information. In yet another example, whether the user is seated in a child safety seat can be determined based on an image of their surroundings, thus determining whether they are a child. In yet another example, the user's voice can be captured, and their age can be determined based on the voice recording.

[0058] Furthermore, step S402 may include: if it is detected that the user inside the vehicle is a temperature-sensitive person, the control parameters can be set to values ​​that match the temperature-sensitive person. For example, when the air conditioning mode is cooling mode, the temperature in the control parameters can be set to be higher than the standard temperature, the air volume to be lower than the standard air volume, and the air vents or airflow direction not directed towards the user, etc.

[0059] Step S402 may include: if it is detected that the user inside the vehicle is not a temperature-sensitive person, determining control parameters based on skin exposure information. The method for determining control parameters based on skin exposure information is described above and will not be repeated here.

[0060] In one implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, step S102 may include:

[0061] Step S501: Determine the awake or asleep state of the user inside the vehicle based on the user image;

[0062] Step S502: Determine control parameters based on wakefulness and skin exposure information.

[0063] For example, a deep learning model can be trained based on a large number of training samples. The trained model can then be used to detect user images to determine whether the user inside the vehicle has their eyes closed or open. Furthermore, the user's heart rate can be combined to determine their wakefulness or sleep status, thereby improving accuracy.

[0064] Furthermore, step S502 may include: when the wake-up state is a sleep state, the control parameters can be set to values ​​that match the sleep state. For example, when the air conditioner mode is cooling mode, the temperature in the control parameters can be set to be higher than the standard temperature, the air volume to be lower than the standard air volume, and the air outlet or air direction not to be directed towards the user, etc.

[0065] Step S502 may include: when the sleep state is an awake state, determining control parameters based on skin exposure information. The method for determining control parameters based on skin exposure information is described above and will not be repeated here.

[0066] In one implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, step S102 may include:

[0067] Step S601: Determine the surface condition of the user's body, whether they are sweating, based on the user's image.

[0068] Step S602: Determine control parameters based on body surface condition and skin exposure information.

[0069] For example, a deep learning model can be trained based on a large number of training samples. The trained model can then be used to detect user images to determine whether the user inside the vehicle is sweating. Furthermore, the user's heart rate can be combined with this model to determine whether sweating has occurred, thereby improving accuracy.

[0070] Furthermore, step S602 may include: when the body surface is sweating, the control parameters can be set to values ​​that match the body surface condition. For example, when the air conditioning mode is cooling mode, the control parameters can be set to have an airflow rate lower than the standard airflow rate, and the air vents or airflow direction can be set not to face the user.

[0071] Step S502 may include: determining control parameters based on skin exposure information when the body surface is not sweating. The method for determining control parameters based on skin exposure information is described above and will not be repeated here.

[0072] In one example, control parameters can be determined based on at least one of the following: whether the person is a temperature-sensitive individual, their wakefulness or sleep status, and their skin surface condition, combined with information on skin exposure. This allows for more human-centered control of the vehicle's air conditioning, thereby further improving the comfort of the in-vehicle environment and the user experience.

[0073] In one implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the vehicle is equipped with a perception module, a decision-making module, and an air conditioning module 203. The perception module may include user perception components, such as an image sensor for capturing user images, or a microphone for capturing user voice within the vehicle. The perception module may also include environmental perception components, such as a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. The perception module can sense a model, triggering the corresponding user perception components to collect relevant data. The cloud server can periodically update the perception model. The decision-making module can be located in the vehicle terminal 201 to store the air conditioning temperature control strategy. Specifically, the air conditioning temperature control strategy can be implemented according to steps S102 or S305 mentioned above. Furthermore, the cloud server can periodically update the air conditioning temperature control strategy.

[0075] The first recognition module 801 is used to recognize the user image of the user inside the vehicle to determine the user's exposed skin information.

[0076] The first control parameter determination module 802 is used to determine the control parameters of the vehicle air conditioning based on skin exposure information.

[0077] The control operation module 803 is used to control the operation of the vehicle's air conditioning system according to control parameters.

[0078] In one embodiment, the first control parameter determination module 802 is further configured to: determine the wear information of the user inside the vehicle based on the user image when the skin exposure information meets preset conditions; and determine control parameters based on the wear information.

[0079] In one implementation, such as Figure 9 As shown, the control device also includes:

[0080] The vehicle exterior environment information acquisition module 901 is used to acquire vehicle exterior environment information before recognizing the user image of the user inside the vehicle to determine the skin exposure information of the user inside the vehicle.

[0083] The second recognition module 903 is used to recognize the user image to determine the wear information of the user in the vehicle when it is predicted that the skin exposure information meets the preset conditions.

[0084] The second control parameter determination module 904 is used to determine control parameters based on wearable information.

[0085] In one implementation, the skin exposure information is the skin exposure area, and the preset condition is a preset area value; or, the skin exposure information is the skin exposure ratio, and the preset condition is a preset ratio value.

[0086] In one embodiment, the first control parameter determination module 802 is further configured to: detect whether the user inside the vehicle is a preset temperature-sensitive group; and determine control parameters based on the detection results and skin exposure information.

[0087] In one embodiment, the first control parameter determination module 802 is further configured to: determine the awake or asleep state of the user inside the vehicle based on the user image; and determine control parameters based on the awake or asleep state and skin exposure information.
