[0047] It should be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the present application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0055] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, like numbers in different figures represent like or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0056] It should be noted that if Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of a vehicle control system according to an exemplary embodiment. The target vehicle in the embodiment of the present invention includes a vehicle control system, wherein the vehicle control system may include: control buttons, a body controller, an intelligent driving system and a power system.

[0057] Furthermore, the intelligent driving system may include a perception and recognition module and a planning and control module, and the power system may include a power control module, a gear control module and a braking control module.

[0058] The various modules in the above-mentioned vehicle control system are communicatively connected to each other, among which the perception and recognition module mainly includes ultrasonic radar, camera and other sensors, and the physical layout scheme and quantity should be able to meet the requirements of the parking function. No specific limitation is made without application. The perception and recognition capabilities of radar, camera and other sensors should be able to meet the requirements of the parking function, for example, accurately identifying obstacles and the distance from obstacles to the front, back, left and right boundaries of the vehicle, and also identifying and distinguishing dynamic and static targets. When the driver controls the movement of the vehicle through the tailgate button, the planning control module will move forward, backward / brake according to the distance of the obstacle perceived and recognized during the parking or movement process. For example, when the driver is directly behind or in front of the vehicle, if there is an obstacle in the area that the driver cannot see, the planning control module will. The power system includes a longitudinal control system for the vehicle, which is used to move forward or backward and brake according to the signal instructions issued by the planning control module. Specifically, as shown in the attached Figure 5 As shown, the driver can enter and exit the vehicle directly by using the tailgate control button.

[0059] The first embodiment of the present application relates to a vehicle control method, Figure 1 is a flow chart of a vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1As shown, the following steps are included:

[0060] Step 101, upon detecting a tailgate signal sent by a vehicle body controller, determining whether to activate a parking function according to a preset parking condition, wherein the tailgate signal is generated by the vehicle body controller in response to a target user pressing a tailgate button of a target vehicle;

[0061] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the intelligent driving system (Auto Parking Assist SystemAuto Parking Assist System, APAS), and the tailgate button is set at any position of the tailgate of the vehicle trunk before the vehicle leaves the factory, and the present invention does not make specific limitations on this.

[0062] In one application scenario, when the vehicle is powered on, the driver gets out of the vehicle and prepares to open the tailgate. However, the tailgate cannot be opened normally because the parking space is too narrow. At this time, the driver has no terminal device that can control the movement of the vehicle. He can only get in the vehicle and drive it to an open place before opening the tailgate. In an embodiment of the present invention, the driver can press the tailgate button. For example, the user presses the button on the tailgate of the vehicle and presses it for more than 2 seconds. At this time, the body controller detects the signal sent by the tailgate button and sends a tailgate signal to APAS. When APAS receives the tailgate signal sent by the body controller, it needs to determine whether to activate the parking function according to the preset parking conditions. The parking function includes controlling the vehicle to move straight in and out or longitudinally in the parking space.

[0063] Further, determining whether to activate the parking function according to the preset parking condition includes: activating the parking function when it is detected that the target vehicle is in a powered-on state, the target vehicle is in a stationary state, and a door corresponding to the target vehicle is in a closed state.

[0064] Specifically, for example, when the following conditions are simultaneously met: the engine is running and the power is ready, the vehicle is in P gear, the Electronic Park Brake (EPB) is engaged, no one is inside, and the doors are closed, P (Parking) is used for parking. It mechanically locks the vehicle's rotating components, preventing them from moving. When the engine is running, an automatic transmission vehicle can easily move as long as the selector lever is in the Drive position. When parked, the selector lever must be moved to P, which locks the output shaft via the transmission's internal parking brake and applies the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from moving. When the vehicle needs to be stationary for an extended period, or before leaving a parked vehicle, the handbrake should be applied and the selector lever should be moved to P. It's important to note that P must only be used when the vehicle is completely stopped, otherwise the automatic transmission's mechanical components may be damaged. When the vehicle is parked, the gear is in this position, mechanically locking the wheels to prevent rolling. In addition, a neutral start switch is installed on automatic transmission cars, so that the engine can only be started in "P" or "N" gear to avoid the car suddenly rushing forward when accidentally started in other gears. The basic function of EPB is to achieve the parking function by clamping and releasing the friction plate.

[0065] Therefore, when the target vehicle satisfies the conditions that the target vehicle is in a powered-on state, the target vehicle is in a stationary state, and the door corresponding to the target vehicle is in a closed state, the parking function can be activated.

[0066] Step 102 : When the activation of the parking function is detected, an activation success signal is sent to the vehicle body controller, so that the vehicle body controller sends a parking request signal, wherein the parking request signal is generated by the vehicle body controller according to the target user continuously pressing the tailgate button of the target vehicle.

[0067] It should be noted that in an embodiment of the present invention, when APAS determines that the parking function can be activated, it feeds back the activation result to the body control system. If the activation is successful, it sends an activation success signal to the body controller; if the activation fails, it sends an activation failure signal to the body controller.

[0068] Specifically, if the activation fails, the body controller receives an activation failure signal and can give a prompt through continuous sound and light. If the activation is successful, the body controller receives an activation failure signal and can emit two external prompt sounds through the vehicle. The specific form of the prompt information is not specifically limited in this application. After successful activation, the user can press the tailgate button again after seeing the prompt message. Specifically, after continuously pressing the tailgate button, the body controller will continue to send request signals to APAS.

[0069] Step 103 : sending a parking function execution request signal to a power system according to the parking request signal, so that the power system controls the target vehicle to park according to the parking function execution request signal.

[0070] It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the parking request signal, APAS sends a parking function execution request signal to the power system according to the parking request signal. After receiving the request signal, the power system controls the target vehicle to park.

[0071] Specifically, after the driver or other target user continuously presses the tailgate button, the body controller will continue to send a request signal to APAS. APAS receives the signal and sends an execution request signal to the power system. The gear controller in the power system, the EPB controller will release the EPB, release the P gear, and shift into the D gear, controlling the vehicle to maintain a certain speed in the longitudinal direction.

[0072] The present invention determines whether to activate the parking function according to preset parking conditions when detecting a tailgate signal sent by a vehicle body controller, wherein the tailgate signal is generated by the vehicle body controller in response to a target user pressing a tailgate button of a target vehicle; when detecting that the parking function is activated, an activation success signal is sent to the vehicle body controller, so that the vehicle body controller sends a parking request signal, wherein the parking request signal is generated by the vehicle body controller in response to the target user continuously pressing the tailgate button of the target vehicle; and a parking function execution request signal is sent to a power system according to the parking request signal, so that the power system controls the parking of the target vehicle according to the parking function execution request signal. The present invention is applied to an intelligent driving system, in which a tailgate signal is generated by a user pressing a button set on a vehicle tailgate. After receiving the tailgate signal, the intelligent driving system can determine whether the parking function of the current target vehicle can be activated. When it is determined that the parking function is activated, an activation success signal is fed back to the body controller, which causes the body controller to send a parking request signal. The parking request signal is a request signal generated by the user continuing to press the tailgate after receiving feedback after pressing the tailgate button for the first time. The intelligent driving system can send an execution request signal to the power system through the parking request signal, and then the power system can control the target vehicle, that is, by pressing the button set on the vehicle tailgate, the vehicle can be moved in and out in the longitudinal direction through the tailgate button to meet the vehicle parking in and out requirements, or the vehicle can be moved forward and backward in the longitudinal direction to meet the user's requirement of opening the trunk.

[0073] A second embodiment of the present application relates to a vehicle control method. Figure 2 is a flow chart of a vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2As shown, the following steps are included:

[0074] Step 201: upon detecting a tailgate signal sent by a vehicle body controller, determining whether to activate a parking function according to a preset parking condition, wherein the tailgate signal is generated by the vehicle body controller in response to a target user pressing a tailgate button of a target vehicle;

[0075] Step 202 , when detecting activation of the parking function, sending an activation success signal to the vehicle body controller, so that the vehicle body controller sends a parking request signal, wherein the parking request signal is generated by the vehicle body controller in response to the target user continuously pressing the tailgate button of the target vehicle;

[0076] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above steps 201-202 refer to the previous discussion and will not be repeated here.

[0077] Furthermore, when it is detected that the parking function is activated, an activation success signal is sent to the vehicle body controller so that the vehicle body controller sends a parking request signal, including: when it is detected that the parking function is activated, an activation success signal is sent to the vehicle body controller so that the vehicle body controller sends a parking request signal and a first prompt message is sent to the user according to the activation success signal.

[0078] Step 203, when it is detected that the target vehicle is in a non-powered state, the target vehicle is in a non-stationary state, and the door corresponding to the target vehicle is in a non-closed state, an activation failure signal is sent to the body controller, so that the body controller sends a second prompt message to the user according to the activation failure signal.

[0079] It should be noted that in an embodiment of the present invention, when APAS determines that the parking function can be activated, it feeds back the activation result to the body control system. If the activation is successful, it sends an activation success signal to the body controller; if the activation fails, it sends an activation failure signal to the body controller.

[0080] Specifically, if the activation fails, the body controller receives an activation failure signal and can give a prompt through continuous sound and light. If the activation is successful, the body controller receives an activation failure signal and can emit two external prompt sounds through the vehicle. The specific form of the prompt information is not specifically limited in this application. After successful activation, the user can press the tailgate button again after seeing the prompt message. Specifically, after continuously pressing the tailgate button, the body controller will continue to send request signals to APAS.

[0081] Step 204 : Sending a parking function execution request signal to a power system according to the parking request signal, so that the power system controls the target vehicle to park according to the parking function execution request signal.

[0082] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above step 204 is described with reference to the foregoing discussion and will not be repeated here.

[0083] The present invention is applied to an intelligent driving system, in which a tailgate signal is generated by a user pressing a button set on a vehicle tailgate. After receiving the tailgate signal, the intelligent driving system can determine whether the parking function of the current target vehicle can be activated. When it is determined that the parking function is activated, an activation success signal is fed back to the body controller, which causes the body controller to send a parking request signal. The parking request signal is a request signal generated by the user continuing to press the tailgate after receiving feedback after pressing the tailgate button for the first time. The intelligent driving system can send an execution request signal to the power system through the parking request signal, and then the power system can control the target vehicle, that is, by pressing the button set on the vehicle tailgate, the vehicle can be moved in and out in the longitudinal direction through the tailgate button to meet the vehicle parking in and out requirements, or the vehicle can be moved forward and backward in the longitudinal direction to meet the user's requirement of opening the trunk.

[0084] A third embodiment of the present application relates to a vehicle control method. Figure 3 is a flow chart of a vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0085] Step 301: upon detecting a tailgate signal sent by a vehicle body controller, determining whether to activate a parking function according to a preset parking condition, wherein the tailgate signal is generated by the vehicle body controller in response to a target user pressing a tailgate button of a target vehicle;

[0086] Step 302 , when detecting activation of the parking function, sending an activation success signal to the vehicle body controller, so that the vehicle body controller sends a parking request signal, wherein the parking request signal is generated by the vehicle body controller in response to the target user continuously pressing the tailgate button of the target vehicle;

[0087] Step 303: When the power system controls the target vehicle to park, determining whether there is an obstacle within a preset range of the target vehicle;

[0088] Step 304: If not, continue to send an execution request signal to the power system to enable the power system to control the target vehicle to travel longitudinally;

[0089] Step 305: If yes, a brake request signal is sent to the power system, so that the power system controls the target vehicle to brake according to the brake request signal.

[0090] After step 304, the method further includes: upon detecting that the parking request signal disappears for a preset time period, determining whether the target vehicle is in the target parking space; if so, sending a shutdown request signal to the power system and the body controller, so that the power system controls the target vehicle to be shut down according to the shutdown request signal, and the body controller closes the corresponding windows of the target vehicle according to the shutdown request signal.

[0091] It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the power system controls the target vehicle to park, it determines whether there are obstacles within a preset range of the target vehicle. If there are obstacles around the target vehicle at this time, APAS sends a brake request signal to the power system. At this time, the power system controls the target vehicle to brake according to the brake request signal. If it is detected that there are no obstacles around the target vehicle, the execution request signal is continuously sent to the power system according to the user pressing the button, so that the power system controls the target vehicle to travel longitudinally. It should be noted that the direction of longitudinal travel of the vehicle should be opposite to the position of the target user. For example, if the target user is at the rear of the vehicle, the vehicle needs to travel slowly toward the front of the vehicle.

[0092] It should be noted that the above-mentioned obstacle detection is mainly based on the front and both sides of the vehicle, that is, APAS detects through the vehicle's front sensors and left and right side sensors.

[0093] Furthermore, when the vehicle moves forward at a certain speed according to the signal, if it encounters an obstacle or the user no longer presses the button, the corresponding button control signal disappears, the APA request signal becomes a brake stop, and the power system controls the vehicle to shift into P gear.

[0094] Specifically, the user presses the tailgate button for more than 2 seconds. The vehicle emits two external beeps and activates the "Straight In / Straight Out" function. At this point, the user continues to hold the tailgate button. The vehicle uses the front / left and right sensors to determine that an obstacle is within a safe distance (calibrable) and then drives forward at a speed that feels safe to the user (calibrable). If an obstacle appears and enters the safe distance range, the vehicle automatically brakes and alerts the user with sounds and lights. If the user does not release the button, the vehicle will continue to move forward even if the obstacle is removed within a certain period of time. If the obstacle is not removed within a certain period of time, the function will be directly exited, the P gear will be automatically engaged, and the EPB will be activated. If the vehicle reaches the user's target parking space, the user releases the electric tailgate button for more than 10 seconds (calibrable), the vehicle will automatically shut down, lock, and raise the windows. After the vehicle is parked out of the parking space, simply engage the P gear and activate the EPB. If the user wants to pause while the vehicle is moving, he or she can actively release the button, but if the release time does not exceed 10s (calibrable), the user can continue to press and hold the button to execute the vehicle's forward movement.

[0095] The present invention is applied to an intelligent driving system, in which a tailgate signal is generated by a user pressing a button set on a vehicle tailgate. After receiving the tailgate signal, the intelligent driving system can determine whether the parking function of the current target vehicle can be activated. When it is determined that the parking function is activated, an activation success signal is fed back to the body controller, which causes the body controller to send a parking request signal. The parking request signal is a request signal generated by the user continuing to press the tailgate after receiving feedback after pressing the tailgate button for the first time. The intelligent driving system can send an execution request signal to the power system through the parking request signal, and then the power system can control the target vehicle, that is, by pressing the button set on the vehicle tailgate, the vehicle can be moved in and out in the longitudinal direction through the tailgate button to meet the vehicle parking in and out requirements, or the vehicle can be moved forward and backward in the longitudinal direction to meet the user's requirement of opening the trunk.

[0096] A fourth embodiment of the present application relates to a vehicle control device, Figure 4 is a flow chart of a vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0097] a detection module 401 configured to determine whether to activate a parking function according to a preset parking condition upon detecting a tailgate signal received from a vehicle body controller, wherein the tailgate signal is generated by the vehicle body controller in response to a target user pressing a tailgate button of a target vehicle;
