[0033] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced with one or more of these specific details omitted, or other methods, components, apparatus, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.

[0034] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0035] In adverse weather conditions such as rain and snow, fogging of car windows can pose a safety hazard while driving. To avoid this hazard, modern vehicles typically have heated defogging systems on their windows. The most common defogging method involves embedding a resistance wire within the glass. This wire heats the glass, causing the water vapor on both sides to evaporate, thus defogging the window. However, because the resistor in this technology is a single unit, it's impossible to select a specific resistor for heating. Consequently, the wire cannot be heated according to a preset pattern, and therefore, the desired pattern cannot be displayed on the window.

[0036] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of this disclosure provide an automotive defogging system, such as... Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic system structure of an automotive defogging system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the automotive defogging system includes an on-board terminal, a controller, and a resistor array. Among them:

[0038] The aforementioned vehicle-mounted terminal is used to receive the user's operation of drawing a defogging pattern and send the defogging pattern to the controller.

[0039] The aforementioned controller is used to receive the defogging pattern sent by the vehicle terminal, and select the target resistor in the resistor array according to the defogging pattern to send a control signal to control the heating of the target resistor. The controller is independently connected to each resistor in the resistor array.

[0040] The aforementioned resistor array is used to receive control signals sent by the controller and heat the target resistor indicated by the control signal to display a defogger pattern on the car glass by evaporating the fog at the corresponding position of the target resistor; wherein, each resistor in the aforementioned resistor array is independent of each other.

[0041] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the resistors in the resistor array of the automotive defogging system are independent of each other, so each resistor can be heated individually. On the other hand, the controller selects a target resistor corresponding to the defogging pattern drawn by the user and sends it from the vehicle terminal for heating. This allows the defogging pattern to be displayed in the car window while defogging, improving the user experience while achieving the defogging effect.

[0042] The following is about the above. Figure 1 The following is a detailed description of each part of the car defrosting system shown:

[0043] The aforementioned vehicle-mounted terminal is the front-end equipment of the vehicle monitoring and management system. It mainly consists of various external devices such as a vehicle-mounted video server, a touch screen, an external camera, a handset, and a car anti-theft device. Through this vehicle-mounted terminal, functions such as interaction, monitoring, and management can be realized.

[0044] In this embodiment, the aforementioned defogger pattern is a pattern that the user wants to display on the vehicle's windows when defogging them. The defogger pattern can be any one of the following: Chinese characters, letters, geometric patterns, numbers, or a combination of two or more. The defogger pattern can be used for visual purposes, and the user can also use it to convey messages. For example, if a user wants to tell the driver of the vehicle behind them to keep their distance, they can write "keep distance" on the in-vehicle terminal, so that the driver of the following vehicle can be displayed on the rear window via the defogger function.

[0045] For example, the aforementioned vehicle-mounted terminal can provide an interactive interface to the user, and provide a drawing area on the interactive interface for the user to draw the aforementioned defogging pattern. Specifically, the interactive interface can be the touch screen of the aforementioned vehicle-mounted terminal, so the user can draw the aforementioned defogging pattern by sliding in the drawing area displayed on the touch screen.

[0046] Preferably, to ensure the matching degree between the defogging pattern drawn by the user and the corresponding resistor positions in the resistor array, the vehicle terminal can provide a drawing interface to the user in the drawing area according to the arrangement of the resistor array. The user then selects the target resistor in the drawing interface to obtain the defogging pattern, where the selection operation is either a click or a swipe. For example, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, the in-vehicle terminal's touchscreen serves as the interactive interface. A drawing interface is displayed on the touchscreen, providing the user with a resistor array layout. The user can then click on the corresponding resistor in the array to draw a defogging pattern. It should be noted that... Figure 2 This is merely an illustrative example; the resistor array arrangement can also be displayed in other forms on the drawing interface, such as providing dots at the corresponding positions of each resistor. This example implementation does not impose any special limitations on this. Taking the user-drawn defogging pattern as "H" as an example, the user can draw the defogging pattern based on the resistor array arrangement in the drawing interface, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0047] After receiving the defogging pattern drawn by the user, the vehicle-mounted terminal sends the pattern to the controller, so that the controller can control the resistor array to perform the defogging function based on the pattern. For example, the vehicle-mounted terminal can also provide a confirmation button to the user on the drawing interface. When the user finishes drawing the defogging pattern and clicks the confirmation button, the vehicle-mounted terminal, upon detecting the user's click, sends the defogging pattern to the controller.

[0048] In this embodiment, the controller is used to control the resistor array to display a defogging pattern sent by the vehicle terminal on the windshield while simultaneously performing the defogging function. The target resistor is any resistor in the resistor array that, when combined, forms the defogging pattern. The control signal is a heating signal; upon receiving the control signal, the resistor array heats the target resistor.

[0049] Specifically, after receiving the defogging pattern from the vehicle terminal, the controller can select the target resistor from the resistor array based on the pattern and send a control signal to control the heating of the target resistor. Taking a received defogging pattern of "H" as an example... Figure 4 The diagram shows a resistor array. Figure 4 The resistor marked in black is the target resistor mentioned above, and the controller sends the aforementioned control signal to the target resistor marked in black.

[0050] The controller and the vehicle terminal can be connected via a network, which serves as the medium for providing a communication link between them. The network can include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links or fiber optic cables.

[0051] The controller is independently connected to each resistor in the resistor array; that is, for each resistor in the array, the controller has a unique communication connection to ensure that each resistor can be heated individually. Once the controller selects a target resistor based on the defogging pattern, it sends the control signal through the communication connection corresponding to that target resistor.

[0052] In this embodiment, the resistor array is a heating resistance wire deployed on the vehicle window glass. Heating the resistor array can evaporate the fog on the window glass. To achieve independent heating of each resistor in the resistor array, the resistor arrays in the automotive defogging system provided in this embodiment are independent of each other. Each resistor receives the control signal through its own independent communication link with the controller and is heated under the control of the control signal to evaporate the fog at the corresponding position on the window glass, thus displaying the defogging pattern on the glass.

[0053] Specifically, the above process can be implemented as follows: the resistor array receives a control signal sent by the controller and heats the target resistor indicated by the control signal, so as to display a defogger pattern on the car glass by evaporating the fog at the corresponding position of the target resistor.

[0054] Furthermore, in another embodiment of this disclosure, the system structure of the above-described automotive defogging system can also be as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes a mobile terminal, an in-vehicle terminal, a controller, and a resistor array. Among them:

[0055] The aforementioned mobile terminal is used to receive the user's operation of drawing a defogging pattern, and send the defogging pattern to the vehicle terminal, so that the vehicle terminal can send the defogging pattern to the controller.

[0056] The aforementioned vehicle-mounted terminal is used to receive the user's operation of drawing a defogging pattern and send the defogging pattern to the controller.

[0057] The aforementioned controller is used to receive the defogging pattern sent by the vehicle terminal, and select the target resistor in the resistor array according to the defogging pattern to send a control signal to control the heating of the target resistor. The controller is independently connected to each resistor in the resistor array.

[0058] The aforementioned resistor array is used to receive control signals sent by the controller and heat the target resistor indicated by the control signal to display a defogger pattern on the car glass by evaporating the fog at the corresponding position of the target resistor; wherein, each resistor in the aforementioned resistor array is independent of each other.

[0059] The following is about the above. Figure 5 The following is a detailed description of each part of the car defrosting system shown:

[0060] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the mobile terminal may be various electronic devices with a display screen, including but not limited to portable computers, smartphones and tablets, etc., used to send the received defogging pattern to the vehicle terminal after receiving the defogging pattern drawn by the user. For example, the mobile terminal may send the received defogging pattern to the vehicle terminal via Bluetooth, wireless network or other means.

[0061] For example, the aforementioned mobile terminal can provide an interactive interface to the user and provide a drawing area on the interactive interface for the user to draw the aforementioned defogging pattern. Specifically, the interactive interface can be the display screen of the aforementioned mobile terminal, and the user can draw the aforementioned defogging pattern in the drawing area displayed on the display screen.

[0062] In this embodiment, the aforementioned defogger pattern is a pattern that the user wants to display on the vehicle's windows when defogging them. The defogger pattern can be any one of the following: Chinese characters, letters, geometric patterns, numbers, or a combination of two or more. The defogger pattern can be used for visual purposes, and the user can also use it to convey messages. For example, if a user wants to tell the driver of the vehicle behind them to keep their distance, they can write "keep distance" on the in-vehicle terminal, so that the driver of the following vehicle can be displayed on the rear window via the defogger function.

[0063] For example, the mobile terminal can provide the user with an app (application client) for drawing the aforementioned defogging pattern. In response to the user launching the client, the drawing area is displayed on the client interface for the user to draw the defogging pattern in the interactive interface. When the display screen is a touch screen, the user can draw the defogging pattern in the interactive interface by swiping.

[0064] Preferably, in order to ensure the matching degree between the defogging pattern drawn by the user and the corresponding resistor position of the resistor array, the mobile terminal can provide the user with a drawing interface in the drawing area according to the arrangement of the resistor array, so as to obtain the defogging pattern according to the user's selection operation of the target resistor in the drawing interface, wherein the selection operation is a click operation or a swipe operation.

[0065] After receiving the defogging pattern drawn by the user, the mobile terminal sends the pattern to the vehicle terminal, which then sends the pattern to the controller. For example, the mobile terminal can also provide a confirmation button on the drawing interface. When the user finishes drawing the defogging pattern and clicks the confirmation button, the mobile terminal, upon detecting this click, sends the defogging pattern to the vehicle terminal.

[0066] In this example embodiment, the aforementioned vehicle-mounted terminal is the front-end device of the vehicle monitoring and management system. It mainly consists of various external devices such as a vehicle-mounted video server, a touch screen, an external camera, a handset, and a car anti-theft device. Through this vehicle-mounted terminal, functions such as interaction, monitoring, and management can be realized. After receiving a defogging pattern sent by the mobile terminal, the vehicle-mounted terminal sends the defogging pattern to the controller, so that the controller can control the resistor array to achieve the defogging function based on the defogging pattern.

[0067] In this embodiment, the controller is used to control the resistor array to display a defogging pattern sent by the vehicle terminal on the windshield while simultaneously performing the defogging function. The target resistor is any resistor in the resistor array that, when combined, forms the defogging pattern. The control signal is a heating signal; upon receiving the control signal, the resistor array heats the target resistor.

[0068] The controller is independently connected to each resistor in the resistor array; that is, for each resistor in the array, the controller has a unique communication connection to ensure that each resistor can be heated individually. Once the controller selects a target resistor based on the defogging pattern, it sends the control signal through the communication connection corresponding to that target resistor.

[0069] In this embodiment, the resistor array is a heating resistance wire deployed on the vehicle window glass. Heating the resistor array can evaporate the fog on the window glass. To achieve independent heating of each resistor in the resistor array, the resistor arrays in the automotive defogging system provided in this embodiment are independent of each other. Each resistor receives the control signal through its own independent communication link with the controller and is heated under the control of the control signal to evaporate the fog at the corresponding position on the window glass, thus displaying the defogging pattern on the glass.

[0070] Preferably, in another embodiment of this disclosure, the above-described automotive defogging system further includes a precision adjustment module, which is used to adjust the resolution of the drawn pattern by adjusting the number and / or precision of the resistors in the resistor array. For example, to improve the clarity of characters in the defogging pattern, the number of resistors in the resistor array can be increased, and the clarity can be improved by using more target resistors to display the same defogging pattern. Alternatively, the clarity of the display can be improved by replacing the resistors in the resistor array with resistors of higher precision.

[0071] Correspondingly, this disclosure also provides a vehicle defogging method, applied to the aforementioned vehicle defogging system. The vehicle defogging method will be described in detail below:

[0072] Figure 6This is a flowchart illustrating an automotive defogging method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0073] In step S610, the vehicle terminal receives the user's operation to draw a defogging pattern and sends the defogging pattern to the controller.

[0074] In this example embodiment, the vehicle-mounted terminal is the front-end device of the vehicle monitoring and management system. It mainly consists of various external devices such as a vehicle-mounted video server, a touch screen, an external camera, a handset, and a car anti-theft device. Through this vehicle-mounted terminal, functions such as interaction, monitoring, and management can be realized.

[0075] The aforementioned defogger pattern is the design that the user wants displayed on the vehicle's windows when defogging. This pattern can be any type of character, letter, geometric pattern, number, or a combination of two or more. The defogger pattern is for visual purposes, and users can also use it to convey messages. For example, if a user wants to tell the driver of the vehicle behind them to keep their distance, they can write "Keep Distance" on the in-vehicle terminal, and the message will be displayed on the rear window via the defogger function.

[0076] The aforementioned operation of receiving a user-drawn defogging pattern from the vehicle-mounted terminal can be implemented as follows: the vehicle-mounted terminal provides an interactive interface to the user, and provides a drawing area on this interface for the user to draw a defogging pattern. Specifically, the interactive interface can be a touchscreen of the vehicle-mounted terminal, and the user can draw a defogging pattern on this interface by swiping. Preferably, to ensure the matching degree between the defogging pattern drawn by the user and the corresponding resistor position in the resistor array, the vehicle-mounted terminal can provide a drawing interface to the user in the drawing area according to the arrangement of the resistor array, so as to obtain a defogging pattern based on the user's selection operation of the target resistor in the drawing interface, wherein the selection operation is a click operation or a swipe operation.

[0077] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the aforementioned defogging pattern can also be sent from the mobile terminal to the in-vehicle device. Specifically, the mobile terminal can provide an interactive interface to the user and provide a drawing area on the interactive interface for the user to draw the aforementioned defogging pattern. Specifically, the interactive interface can be the display screen of the mobile terminal, and the user can draw the aforementioned defogging pattern in the drawing area displayed on the display screen.

[0078] In step S620, when the controller receives the defogging pattern, it sends a control signal to the target resistor at the corresponding position in the resistor array to heat the target resistor, so as to display the defogging pattern on the car glass by evaporating the fog at the corresponding position of the target resistor.

[0079] In this embodiment, the controller is used to control the resistor array to display a defogging pattern sent by the vehicle terminal on the windshield while simultaneously performing the defogging function. The target resistor is any resistor in the resistor array that, when combined, forms the defogging pattern. The control signal is a heating signal; upon receiving the control signal, the resistor array heats the target resistor. The controller is independently connected to each resistor in the resistor array; that is, for each resistor in the array, the controller has a unique corresponding communication connection to ensure that each resistor can be heated individually. After selecting a target resistor based on the defogging pattern, the controller sends the control signal through the communication connection corresponding to the target resistor.

[0080] In this embodiment, the resistor array is a heating resistance wire deployed on the vehicle window glass. Heating the resistor array can evaporate the fog on the window glass. To achieve independent heating of each resistor in the resistor array, the resistor arrays in the automotive defogging system provided in this embodiment are independent of each other. Each resistor receives the control signal through its own independent communication link with the controller and is heated under the control of the control signal to evaporate the fog at the corresponding position on the window glass, thus displaying the defogging pattern on the glass.

[0081] The specific implementation details of this car defogging method have been described in detail in the corresponding section of the aforementioned car defogging system, so they will not be repeated here.
