[0002] As people's living standards improve, cars have gradually become an indispensable means of transportation. Parents taking their children on trips has also become a common way to relax. Child safety seats have become an indispensable safety guarantee, and the use of safety seats has become a legal requirement. However, because the concept of child safety seats is not yet popular among the general public, the correct way to use child safety seats is still lacking. Incorrect installation of car safety seats can cause greater harm to children.

[0003] Child safety seats must be installed in the rear seats of a car and cannot be installed in positions with airbags. However, due to a lack of proper education on child safety seat installation, some parents choose to install child safety seats in the front passenger seat for better care, which can lead to greater injury to the child in the event of a traffic accident. Furthermore, current child safety seat installation relies solely on manual verification by installers, lacking corresponding equipment for checking proper installation. Moreover, there are no methods to check whether the installation is correct or in place after the child safety seat is installed. This introduces many uncertainties and even more serious safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

Attached Figure Description

[0055] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention.

[0056] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the system provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0058] It's understandable that child safety seats are required to be installed in the rear seats of a car and not in locations with airbags. However, due to a lack of proper education on child safety seat installation, some parents choose to install them in the front passenger seat for better care. In the event of a traffic accident, this can lead to greater injury to the child. Furthermore, current child safety seat installation relies solely on manual verification by installers, lacking corresponding equipment for proper installation checks. Moreover, there are no methods to check whether the installation is correct or in place after the child safety seat is installed. This introduces many uncertainties and even more serious safety hazards.

[0059] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention acquires the host's switch settings information. When the vehicle power is on, the camera and weight sensor within the smart cockpit perform periodic checks, obtaining visual perception detection data and weight detection data. The detection controller then uses this data to perform a safety installation check on the child safety seat, determining whether it is installed safely and providing different information prompts through the instrument panel. By analyzing the identified information, the system can detect anomalies in size, position, orientation, and fixation. If safety requirements are not met, safety prompts are provided, effectively ensuring the correct installation of the car safety seat, eliminating potential safety hazards, and improving child protection in traffic accidents.

[0060] Specifically, a method for detecting the installation of a child car seat based on visual perception includes the following steps:

[0061] Step 1: Obtain the host's switch settings information. When the vehicle power is turned on, the camera and weight sensor in the smart cockpit perform periodic detection to obtain visual perception detection data and weight detection data.

[0062] Step 2: The detection controller performs a safety installation test on the child safety seat based on the visual perception detection data and the weight detection data, determines whether the child safety seat is installed safely, and provides different information prompts through the instrument.

[0063] In this embodiment of the invention, the host's switch setting information is obtained, and it is determined whether the vehicle's power mode is in the IGON position. When the vehicle's power mode is in the IGON position, a child seat detection signal is periodically generated. The smart cockpit camera starts periodically taking pictures based on the child seat detection signal and sends the acquired visual perception detection data to the detection controller. Simultaneously, the weight sensor starts periodically measuring weight based on the child seat detection signal and sends the acquired weight detection data to the detection controller. The detection controller performs a safety installation detection of the child safety seat and provides different information prompts in conjunction with the instrument panel, specifically:

[0064] When the detection controller identifies, based on visual perception detection data, that the length of the child safety seat is greater than the width of the car seat by a certain degree (which can be calibrated), the controller determines that the size of the child safety seat does not conform to the vehicle information and that there is a safety risk during use. Therefore, the controller sends out a relevant alarm signal. The instrument panel receives the alarm signal and displays "Child safety seat size is not suitable, please replace it" to provide an alarm prompt.

[0065] When the detection controller identifies a child safety seat installed in the front passenger seat based on visual perception detection data, it will issue an alarm signal according to the standard that child safety seats are not allowed to be installed in the position where there is an airbag. Since the front passenger seat is covered by an airbag, there is a safety risk during use. The instrument panel receives the alarm signal and displays "Child safety seats are not allowed to be installed in the front passenger seat" to provide an alarm reminder.

[0066] Based on visual perception and weight detection data, the detection controller identifies when a child weighing less than 9kg is in a child safety seat and the seat is installed facing forward. Since regulations require child safety seats for infants weighing less than 9kg to be installed rear-facing, there is a safety risk during use. In this case, the detection controller will issue a relevant alarm signal. The instrument receives the alarm signal and displays "Child safety seats for infants and toddlers must be installed rear-facing" to provide an alarm reminder.

[0067] Currently, there are only three installation methods for child safety seats: ISOFIX, LATCH, and seatbelt installation. The detection controller, based on visual perception data, first identifies which method the child safety seat installed in the vehicle uses: ISOFIX, LATCH, or seatbelt. It then performs the corresponding safety fixation analysis and issues alarms: 1. When the child safety seat is ISOFIX secured, the detection controller focuses on detecting and comparing the characteristics of ISOFIX. If the right rigid connection point is not properly secured, the controller sends an alarm signal. The instrument panel receives this signal and displays "Child safety seat ISOFIX right side not secured," while simultaneously displaying a 3D view of the unsecured location. Similarly, if the left rigid connection point is not properly secured, the controller sends an alarm signal. The instrument panel receives this signal and displays "Child safety seat ISOFIX left side not secured," while simultaneously displaying a 3D view of the unsecured location. Finally, if the top restraint anti-rollover structure is not properly secured, the controller sends an alarm signal. The instrument panel receives this signal and displays "Child safety seat ISOFIX top restraint not secured," while simultaneously displaying a 3D view of the unsecured location. 1. When the child safety seat uses a Latch fastening method, the detection controller's visual perception detection data focuses on detecting and comparing the characteristics of the Latch fastening method. When the right Latch flexible connection is not properly fastened, the detection controller sends an alarm signal, which the instrument receives and displays "Child safety seat Latch right side not fastened," while simultaneously displaying a 3D view of the corresponding unfastened position. When the left Latch flexible connection is not properly fastened, the detection controller sends an alarm signal, which the instrument receives and displays "Child safety seat..." The system will display an alarm signal indicating that the left side of the Latch is not secured, and will also show a 3D view of the unsecured position. When the Latch headrest is not properly secured, the detection controller will issue an alarm signal, which the instrument panel will receive and display, indicating "Child safety seat Latch headrest not properly secured," while simultaneously showing a 3D view of the unsecured position. 3. If the child safety seat is secured by a seatbelt or other unknown method, the detection controller will issue an alarm signal, which the instrument panel will receive and display, indicating "The current child seat securing method poses a safety risk and is not recommended; please replace it."

[0068] After the above tests are completed, if the test controller does not find any items that do not meet the requirements, the test controller will send a signal that the child safety seat is installed correctly. After receiving the signal, the instrument panel will display "The child safety seat is installed correctly, you can drive with peace of mind".

[0069] Furthermore, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the system provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
