Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a method, system, and vehicle for controlling a panoramic imaging function. Background Art

[0002] Off-roading is a type of terrain that many off-road enthusiasts enjoy and want to experience. It's mostly hillsides in undeveloped areas around cities, with unpaved roads dotted with large and small cross-axles, V-shaped grooves, and shell craters. The lanes are narrow and winding, placing a heavy strain on a vehicle's handling and stability. It can cause significant damage, requiring speed control and the vehicle's driving mechanics to complete certain off-road surfaces, such as off-road ramps. In some off-road conditions with rugged, bumpy roads, a 540-degree panoramic image can be activated during driving to help the driver better understand the condition of the road below the vehicle and more comprehensively identify potential safety hazards on the road. Currently, off-road vehicles are typically equipped with an off-road interface that displays a transparent chassis and the vehicle's off-road functions, such as angle, roll angle, differential lock status, and four-wheel drive status. This allows the driver to more clearly and intuitively see the vehicle's current posture, enabling more precise driving and preventing accidents.

[0003] Currently, the panoramic image function requires the vehicle to be in R gear and below at speeds below 25 km / h. Alternatively, the driver must press the 540-degree image switch in other gears to activate the function. In real-world driving, where roads are complex and bumpy, manually enabling the panoramic image function can hinder driving. This cumbersome and inflexible control method results in a poor user experience.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0045] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of a panoramic imaging function control system provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] In order to help those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] As mentioned above, with the continuous expansion of the vehicle market, panoramic imaging has also been widely used in off-roading. Off-roading is a terrain that many off-road enthusiasts enjoy and want to experience. It is often found on hillsides in undeveloped areas around cities. The road surface is unpaved and full of large and small cross-axles, V-shaped grooves, and shell craters. The lanes are narrow and winding, which is extremely challenging for vehicle control and stability. It is very damaging to the vehicle and requires speed control, especially after rain. The road surface is slippery, with poor grip and various shapes and slopes. It is necessary to use momentum to rush up the slopes quickly and complete some off-road surfaces such as off-road ramps.

[0048] Off-road vehicles typically feature an off-road interface that displays a transparent chassis and off-road features, such as angle, roll angle, differential lock status, and four-wheel drive status. This allows the driver to more clearly visualize the vehicle's current position, enabling more precise maneuvering and preventing accidents. For off-road driving on rugged, bumpy roads, activating a 540-degree panoramic image provides a clearer view of the road below the vehicle, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of potential safety hazards. The 540-degree panoramic image combines the practicality of a 360-degree panoramic image with a 180-degree chassis perspective. Using the body camera, the front camera, and cameras below the two exterior mirrors, the 540-degree panoramic image creates a ground perspective, centered on the driver's seat. This creates a real-time view of the road below the vehicle's chassis and transmits it to the vehicle's central control screen. This 540-degree panoramic image provides a clearer understanding of the road below the vehicle, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of potential safety hazards. If the vehicle is driving on a bumpy road, the 540-degree panoramic image can let the driver know the position of the tires clearly, and if there are stones or other objects on the road, they can avoid them in time.

[0049] Typically, the 540-degree camera or off-road interface is activated when the vehicle is below a preset speed (e.g., 25 km / h) and the transmission must be in R gear for the feature to activate automatically. Alternatively, the driver must press the 540-degree camera switch in any other gear to activate the feature. This allows the system to quickly capture road conditions. However, because capturing road conditions at higher speeds can cause erroneous images and distorted images, it is set to operate at lower speeds. Once the vehicle exceeds the set speed (e.g., 25 km / h), the camera interface automatically exits. However, this activation method has two drawbacks. First, when the driver encounters complex off-road conditions, the 540-degree camera interface must be activated, which can cause visual interference and potentially lead to an accident. Second, when the 540-degree camera is activated, the vehicle may experience wheel slip while off-roading, rapidly increasing speed to a higher speed without actually moving. This phenomenon occurs because the speed is calculated based on wheel speed. Even if the wheels are spinning and the vehicle is not moving, the speed is still present. If the vehicle slips and spins, the speed rapidly increases, exceeding the 540-degree camera setting, and the 540-degree camera interface automatically exits. That is, the current vehicle clearly needs the help of the panoramic imaging function, but it automatically exits due to a misjudgment of the speed. When the driver needs the off-road interface 540-degree image reference road conditions, the driver needs to press the 540-degree image again. Continuing the operation will result in the same exit problem. This is very inconvenient for the driver to operate, and the function has a poor sense of use. In addition, such an unstable off-road assistance function is very dangerous during off-road driving.

[0050] In view of this, the panoramic imaging function control method, system, and vehicle provided in the embodiments of the present application obtain driving mode and / or vehicle condition information, and the vehicle condition information controls the panoramic imaging function based on the driving mode and / or vehicle condition information. When the driver is navigating complex road conditions, the actual use requirements in off-road scenarios are determined based on the current vehicle's driving mode and vehicle condition information, and the panoramic imaging function is turned on or off according to the actual requirements. This ensures that the panoramic imaging function automatically turns on when the vehicle is off-road, while also solving the problem of the panoramic imaging function automatically turning off when the vehicle is not actually driving. This solves the problem of the panoramic imaging switch being very inconvenient to operate and improves the user experience.

[0051] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an ECU (Electronic Control Unit), which is also called a "driving computer". The ECU can control various sensors of the vehicle to obtain directly determinable environmental information, obtain weather forecast information and road condition maps from the cloud, and control the vehicle. In some possible implementations, the vehicle can use the DMS (Driver Monitoring System) camera to identify the driver's facial identity and the OMS camera (in-cabin camera) to identify the identities of other passengers in the cabin, and generate a corresponding display interface for each user.

[0052] The following describes a method for controlling a panoramic image function provided by this application through an embodiment. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for controlling a panoramic imaging function provided in an embodiment of the present application. The control method provided in this embodiment can be executed by a controller or an electronic control unit ECU, including:

[0053] S101: Acquire driving mode and / or vehicle condition information.

[0054] Driving modes include off-road and non-off-road modes. Off-road mode is a high-intensity off-road driving mode suitable for 4L low-speed driving, such as rock mode and wading mode. 4H mode is more suitable for driving on snowy or slippery roads, while 2H mode is more suitable for driving on dry paved roads such as highways. Driving modes that do not use 4L mode are classified as non-off-road modes.

[0055] In actual application scenarios, the ECU can control the installed camera to obtain the current road conditions, or the ECU can obtain the road conditions information for the next hour of the current navigation route through the cloud. The current driving mode of the vehicle is determined based on the acquired road condition information. The ECU obtains the all-terrain mode signal, and then determines whether the driving mode of the vehicle is off-road mode or non-off-road mode based on the all-terrain mode signal. Among them, the all-terrain mode may include Auto mode, sports mode, snow mode, mud mode, sand mode, etc. The driving mode can be manually selected by the driver or the vehicle can automatically adjust the operating mode by identifying the road conditions. The method for determining the driving mode can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0056] The vehicle condition information includes control instructions or vehicle speed during vehicle driving. In actual application scenarios, the ECU can obtain the vehicle speed and the obtained control instructions in real time during vehicle driving, and generate a driving log during driving.

[0057] S102: Determine a function control strategy based on the driving mode and / or vehicle condition information.

[0058] The function control strategy is a control strategy determined according to at least one of the driving mode and the vehicle condition information, and in this embodiment includes four control strategies.

[0059] S103: Controlling the panoramic imaging function based on the function control strategy: Controlling the panoramic imaging function to be turned on or off based on the function control strategy.

[0060] In some possible implementations, controlling the panoramic imaging function based on the function control strategy to turn the panoramic imaging function on or off includes the following three situations AC:

[0061] The first scenario A includes steps A1-A2 during implementation:

[0062] A1: In response to the driving mode being the off-road mode, determining the function control strategy to be the first control strategy, and activating the panoramic imaging function.

[0063] When the controller determines that the current vehicle driving mode is off-road mode, that is, the all-terrain mode signal received by the controller is a high-intensity off-road mode such as rock mode, wading mode, or 4L mode, upon receiving such off-road mode signals, the first control strategy is determined to be currently in use. The 540-degree image is automatically activated, and in actual application scenarios, prompts can be generated to inform the driver of current road conditions and plan an off-road route in advance. For example, a voice prompt played through the speakers or a text prompt displayed on the in-vehicle screen reads: "Entering off-road conditions, please confirm the surrounding environment before driving." Once the panoramic image function is activated, it remains in effect.

[0064] A2: In response to the vehicle speed being not lower than the first threshold, turning off the panoramic imaging function.

[0065] Here, the first threshold can be set to 25km / h. When the vehicle speed reaches the first threshold, the vehicle automatically exits control, judging that the driver does not particularly need this function and that turning it on for a long time will affect driving. Therefore, the system automatically exits after the vehicle speed reaches 25km / h and turns off the panoramic imaging function.

[0066] The second scenario B includes steps B1-B2 during implementation:

[0067] B1: In response to the driving mode being the off-road mode and obtaining a front and rear differential lock opening instruction, determining the function control strategy to be the second control strategy and starting the panoramic imaging function.

[0068] The vehicle condition information includes front and rear differential lock opening instructions, front and rear differential lock closing instructions and vehicle speed.

[0069] When the system detects that the vehicle is in off-road mode and the front and rear differential locks are engaged, it determines that the vehicle is in the second control strategy. This indicates that the vehicle is in a strong off-road condition, where wheels are slipping and the instrument panel speed does not match the actual speed. The system activates and maintains the panoramic image function. In this case, the speed exit strategy is no longer executed. When the driver adjusts the driving mode or disables the front and rear differential locks, the corresponding control strategy is implemented.

[0070] B2: In response to obtaining a front and rear differential lock closing instruction and the vehicle speed is not lower than a first threshold, turning off the panoramic imaging function.

[0071] When the system receives the command to close the front and rear differential locks and the vehicle speed reaches the first threshold, the vehicle automatically exits control, determining that the driver does not particularly need this function and that keeping it on for a long time will affect driving. Therefore, the system automatically exits after the vehicle speed reaches 25km / h and turns off the panoramic imaging function.

[0072] B3: In response to obtaining the driving mode switching instruction, turning off the panoramic imaging function.

[0073] The driving mode switching instruction is used to instruct to switch the driving mode to a non-off-road mode, such as standard, snow, mud and sand, etc. If the system determines that the driver no longer needs this function, the system turns off the panoramic imaging function.

[0074] The third case C includes steps C1-C2 in the implementation process:

[0075] C1: In response to obtaining the panoramic imaging function activation instruction, determining that the function control strategy is the third control strategy, and activating the panoramic imaging function.

[0076] When the system detects a command to start the panoramic imaging function, that is, the driver or passenger manually starts the panoramic imaging function, the system directly starts the panoramic imaging function based on the actual needs of the driver or passenger.

[0077] C2: In response to the vehicle speed being not lower than the second threshold, turning off the panoramic imaging function.

[0078] The second threshold is higher than the first threshold. For example, based on the above situation where the first threshold is set to 25 km / h, the second threshold can be set to a value greater than the first threshold, such as 45 km / h, 55 km / h, 60 km / h, etc., which is greater than 25 km / h.

[0079] When the driver presses the 540-degree image switch, the 540-degree image receives the switch signal and immediately turns on the function. The system determines that the driver needs this function and no longer executes the exit strategy when the vehicle speed reaches the first threshold of 25km / h, meeting the driver's actual usage needs. When the vehicle speed increases to the second threshold of 60km / h, it is determined that the vehicle has exited the off-road condition and the function is exited, preventing the high-speed 540-degree image from affecting the driver's driving safety. On the basis of ensuring that the second threshold is greater than the first threshold, the values of the first and second thresholds can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs and are not restricted here.

[0080] The fourth case D includes step D1 in the implementation process:

[0081] D1: In response to obtaining an occupant instruction, determining that the function control strategy is the fourth control strategy, stopping running other control strategies, and controlling the panoramic imaging function to be turned on or off according to the occupant instruction.

[0082] The fourth control strategy is the one that responds to a passenger command, and has a higher priority than the first three control strategies. For example, if a passenger command is received during the execution of the first three control strategies to disable the panoramic imaging function, the system will stop executing the current control strategy and directly disable the panoramic imaging function. Alternatively, if the panoramic imaging function has already been disabled after the first three control strategies have been executed and the system receives a passenger command to enable the panoramic imaging function, the system will stop executing the three control strategies and enable the panoramic imaging function.

[0083] In actual application scenarios, passenger instructions include panoramic imaging function start-up instructions and panoramic imaging function shutdown instructions, with the driver's last operation taking precedence. For example, if the passenger turns on the motor and then clicks off within a preset time period, the last operation takes precedence and the system executes the panoramic imaging function shutdown.

[0084] In some possible implementations, after S101 obtains the driving mode and / or vehicle condition information, it may further include step S100, in response to the driving mode being a non-off-road mode, the vehicle's lateral tilt angle meeting a preset lateral tilt condition, the vehicle's front and rear cutting angles meeting a preset front and rear tilt condition, and the road condition information meeting a preset road condition, adjusting the driving mode to an off-road mode.

[0085] The preset lateral tilt adjustment can set the lateral tilt angle to >5°, and the preset front and rear tilt adjustment can set the front and rear tilt angle to >10°. When the vehicle is in non-off-road mode (such as standard, snow, mud and sand, etc.), the system obtains the vehicle's lateral sensor signal >5°, the front and rear angle signal >10°, and the front camera signal detects that the road ahead is uneven (meeting the preset road conditions). The system determines that the vehicle has entered off-road mode and activates the panoramic imaging function, allowing the driver to understand the current road conditions in advance and give the driver a prompt to plan an off-road route in advance, such as: "Entering off-road conditions, please confirm the surrounding environment before driving."

[0086] For example, if the vehicle's current lateral tilt angle is 8° and its fore-aft tilt angle is 15°, and the vehicle's camera detects rocky terrain ahead, in a practical application scenario, the vehicle camera can capture an image of the road ahead and use the in-vehicle control system to identify rocks larger than a preset threshold. If the number of rocks detected exceeds the preset threshold, the vehicle is determined to be rocky. If the three limiting conditions are met, the vehicle is determined to enter off-road mode and activate the panoramic imaging function. In practical application scenarios, the preset road conditions can be set or adjusted by the driver. The preset road conditions can be high-intensity off-road terrain such as rocky roads and wading conditions, or based on low-intensity off-road terrain such as standard, snowy, or muddy terrain. For example, if a large amount of rocks is detected in standard terrain or a large area of water is detected in snowy terrain, the system determines that the current terrain meets the preset road conditions and switches the current driving mode to off-road mode. The thresholds for identifying the area of water and the number of rocks can be adaptively adjusted based on the actual terrain and are not limited here.

[0087] By integrating the panoramic imaging function with off-road mode, the driver can control the system without manual intervention, meeting the practical needs of off-road driving. The controller uses the current vehicle's driving model and vehicle condition information to activate the corresponding panoramic imaging function. This ensures that the panoramic imaging function automatically activates when the vehicle is off-roading, while also automatically deactivating it when the vehicle is not actually driving. This eliminates the inconvenience of repeatedly turning the panoramic imaging function on and off, improving the user experience.
