[0056] Figure 2 Flow chart of the method for monitoring infants in a vehicle in Example 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention:

[0058] Embodiment 1:

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment 1 provides an in-vehicle baby monitoring system, including a baby wearable device, a signal connection module, a detection module and an audio library arranged in a vehicle central control system;

[0060] The infant wearable device includes a body, a wireless connection module and a sound sensor arranged on the body; the wireless connection module is used for wireless connection with a vehicle central control system;

[0062] The audio library is used to store standard sound information;

[0063] The detection module is used to control the sound sensor to collect baby sound information after receiving the connection success information, obtain detection information based on the baby sound information, compare the detection information with the standard sound information, and obtain baby status information based on the comparison result.

[0064] In the above technical solution, the signal connection module is used to monitor the wireless connection status between the baby wearable device and the vehicle central control system to determine whether the baby has got on the car; if it is determined that the baby has got on the car, the detection module controls the sound sensor to collect the baby's sound information, obtains detection information based on the baby's sound information, compares the detection information with the standard sound information, and obtains the baby's status information based on the comparison result; in an embodiment, the wireless connection signal established between the above-mentioned baby wearable device and the vehicle's central control system is also used to generate control instructions for opening the door or prohibiting the door from locking at a set speed.

If the current door is in a locked state, the controller issues a door opening command, and the door lock actuator opens the door. The delay is set to determine whether the driver's purpose of parking is temporary parking or long-term parking during driving, so as to avoid frequent opening of the door. The above-mentioned vehicle speed of 0 can be obtained by detecting the vehicle speed sensor. The control device on the vehicle obtains the vehicle speed signal, and obtains the door status signal after the control device on the vehicle detects the wireless connection signal established between the wearable device and the vehicle central control system.

A method for monitoring infants in a vehicle, characterized in that: The method is implemented by using the in-vehicle baby monitoring system according to any one of claims 1 to 2, comprising: The signal connection module is used to monitor the connection status between the wireless connection module and the vehicle central control system, and when the connection status is detected, a connection success message is sent to the detection module; The detection module detects whether the connection success information is received; if the connection success information is received, the sound sensor is controlled to collect the baby sound information; The detection module obtains detection information according to the collected baby sound information, compares the detection information with the standard sound information stored in the audio library, and obtains baby status information according to the comparison result; The specific method for the detection module to obtain detection information according to the collected baby sound information includes the following steps: Step 1: performing endpoint detection on the baby sound information to determine the starting point and the end point of the baby sound information; Step 2: extracting MFCC feature parameters of the baby sound information through short-term analysis; Step 3: Obtain the detection information according to the MFCC feature parameters.

4. The method for monitoring infants in a vehicle according to claim 3, characterized in that: The method of comparing the detection information with the standard sound information stored in the audio library and obtaining the baby status information according to the comparison result includes: The standard sound information includes a happy template, a crying template and a calm template; The detection information is compared with the happy template, the crying template and the calm template respectively by using the DTW algorithm, and the baby status information is obtained according to the template with the highest similarity to the detection information among the happy template, the crying template and the calm template.

5. The method for monitoring infants in a vehicle according to claim 3, characterized in that: After obtaining the infant status information, the detection module sends the infant status information to the control module; The control module controls the working mode of the vehicle to enter a corresponding baby care mode according to the received baby status information, and controls the target functional component in the vehicle to perform the function corresponding to the baby care mode entered by the vehicle; The baby care modes include a happy mode, a crying mode and a calm mode.

6. The method for monitoring infants in a vehicle according to claim 5, characterized in that: The method by which the control module executes the function corresponding to the crying mode includes: the control module controls a player of the vehicle to play a preset audio or video; The control module collects baby pressure information through the skin electrical activity sensor, collects baby heart rate information through the heart rate sensor, collects baby temperature information through the temperature sensor, and monitors the baby pressure information, the baby heart rate information and the baby temperature information; If the control module detects that the current pressure value of the baby exceeds the preset pressure value through the collected baby pressure information, or if the control module detects that the current heart rate value of the baby is not within the preset heart rate range through the collected baby heart rate information, or if the control module detects that the current body temperature value of the baby is not within the preset body temperature range through the collected baby temperature information, then the control module controls the networking system of the vehicle to send an alarm message to the user terminal; The method in which the control module executes the function corresponding to the happy mode includes: the control module maintains the on state or the off state of the player of the vehicle.

7. The method for monitoring infants in a vehicle according to claim 5, characterized in that: The calm mode includes a sleep sub-mode; The method by which the control module performs the function corresponding to the quiet mode includes: the control module collects the infant's breathing frequency information through a bioimpedance sensor and collects the infant's activity information through a three-axis acceleration sensor; The control module determines whether the baby has entered the sleep sub-mode according to the collected information on the baby's breathing frequency and the baby's activity; if it is determined that the baby has entered the sleep sub-mode, the control module controls the player of the vehicle to be turned off.
