Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a control method, device, vehicle, and system for a target object care function inside a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, vehicles are increasingly involved in our daily lives and work. Sometimes, after the driver leaves the vehicle, other individuals may be left inside. These individuals are unable to operate the vehicle, and the prolonged sealing and high temperatures can lead to heatstroke, asphyxiation, or other life-threatening situations. Current technologies prevent asphyxiation by activating the vehicle's safety features after the driver has left, but this method is energy-intensive. Therefore, a more efficient control method for in-vehicle safety features is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to propose a control method, device, vehicle and system for in-vehicle target object care function to solve the technical problem of high energy consumption in the existing method.

[0004] A first aspect of this application provides a control method for a vehicle-mounted target object care function, comprising: acquiring the driver's status of the vehicle; when the driver's status is an off-vehicle status, detecting whether a target object exists in the vehicle; when the target object is in the vehicle, starting a timer; and when the duration of the timer is greater than or equal to a preset duration, activating a preset care function of the vehicle.

[0005] Furthermore, the step of activating the vehicle's preset care function when the duration of the timekeeping is greater than or equal to a preset duration includes: acquiring the vehicle's status information when the duration of the timekeeping is greater than or equal to the preset duration; and activating the vehicle's preset care function when the status information meets the preset care function activation conditions.

[0006] Furthermore, the status information includes the door status, window status, air conditioning status, and interior temperature; the conditions for activating the care function include the door status, window status, and air conditioning status all being closed, and the interior temperature being less than or equal to a first preset temperature, or the interior temperature being greater than or equal to a second preset temperature, wherein the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature; the care function includes: activating the vehicle's temperature control system to control the interior temperature to a preset temperature, activating the vehicle's air conditioning to external circulation mode, or opening the vehicle's windows.

[0007] Furthermore, the step of "when the duration of the timing is greater than or equal to the preset duration" includes: obtaining the object type of the target object; and determining the corresponding preset duration based on the object type.

[0008] Furthermore, activating the vehicle's preset care function includes: obtaining the vehicle's remaining battery power; opening the vehicle's windows when the remaining battery power is less than or equal to the preset remaining battery power; and turning on the vehicle's air conditioning to external circulation mode when the remaining battery power is greater than the preset remaining battery power, while simultaneously activating the vehicle's temperature control system to control the interior temperature to the preset temperature.

[0009] Furthermore, activating the vehicle's preset care function includes: sending a care function activation request to the driver's terminal; activating the vehicle's preset care function when an activation consent instruction is received from the driver's terminal within a preset time interval; and activating the vehicle's preset care function when no instruction is received from the driver's terminal within the preset time interval.

[0010] Furthermore, activating the vehicle's preset care function includes, prior to: acquiring video information from inside the vehicle and sending the video information to the driver's end.

[0011] A second aspect of this application provides a control device for an in-vehicle target object care function, comprising: an acquisition module configured to acquire the driver's state of the vehicle; a detection module configured to detect whether a target object exists in the vehicle when the driver's state is an off-vehicle state; a timing module configured to start timing when the target object is present in the vehicle; and a care module configured to activate a preset care function of the vehicle when the timing duration is greater than or equal to a preset duration.

[0012] A third aspect of this application provides an electronic device including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement a control method for the in-vehicle target object care function as described in the first aspect above.

[0013] A fourth aspect of this application provides a vehicle, including: a controller for performing a control method for the in-vehicle target object care function as described in the first aspect above.

[0014] A fifth aspect of this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing the computer to perform the control method for the in-vehicle target object care function as described in the first aspect above.

[0015] A sixth aspect of this application provides a control system for an in-vehicle target object care function, comprising a vehicle and a driver terminal as described in the fourth aspect above, wherein the vehicle is used to send video information and a care function activation command to the driver terminal, and the driver terminal is used to send an authorization to the vehicle to activate or an authorization to disobey activation.

[0016] As can be seen from the above, this application provides a control method, device, vehicle, and system for an in-vehicle target object care function. By acquiring the driver's status, it determines whether the driver is in an off-vehicle state, providing a basis for subsequent target object detection and activation. When the driver is in the vehicle, they can control the in-vehicle equipment themselves, without the vehicle actively activating the care function. When the driver is in an off-vehicle state, it detects whether a target object exists in the vehicle, providing a basis for subsequent timing activation. When no target object exists in the vehicle, the care function does not need to be activated. When a target object exists in the vehicle, timing begins, providing a basis for subsequent activation of the care function. When the timing duration is greater than or equal to a preset time... The preset duration represents a relatively long period of time the driver is away from the vehicle. During this time, the vehicle's pre-set care function is activated to prevent heatstroke or other adverse reactions in the target individual. Compared to activating the care function immediately after the driver leaves the vehicle, this method saves energy while preventing heatstroke and other adverse reactions. It also avoids the waste of resources and low energy efficiency caused by frequently activating the care function when the driver is only briefly away from the vehicle. The control method, device, vehicle, and system for the in-vehicle target individual care function are simple and convenient. They can effectively prevent the target individual from remaining in the vehicle for an extended period after the driver leaves, thus reducing the incidence of in-vehicle safety accidents, saving energy and reducing consumption, improving the level of intelligence and humanization, and providing a high-quality user experience.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0021] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. Terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.

[0024] With the development of the vehicle industry, vehicles are increasingly involved in our daily lives and work. Sometimes, after the driver leaves the vehicle, other individuals may be left inside. For example, when the driver goes out to run errands, they may leave elderly people, children, or pets in the vehicle to wait. If the individuals cannot operate the vehicle, and the vehicle is sealed and hot for a long time, it may cause them to suffer from heatstroke or other life-threatening conditions.

[0025] For example, according to a research report published in the journal Injury Prevention, 73% of accidents in which children die in cars are caused by children being left in the car. About three-quarters of these accidents occur in summer and autumn, and the remaining one-quarter occur in spring and winter. The temperature inside the car at the time of the accident is between 17°C and 46°C. The shortest time a child is left in a car is less than 15 minutes, 82% of children are left in cars for more than 1 hour, and 29% of children are left in cars for more than 5 hours.

[0026] In related technologies, the method to prevent suffocation and other situations involves activating the vehicle's comfort function after the driver leaves the vehicle. For example, the comfort function is activated when the driver leaves the vehicle and closes the door. The comfort function improves the comfort of the target person by adjusting the in-vehicle equipment, such as turning on the air conditioner to external circulation mode to avoid sealing the vehicle, and activating the temperature regulation system to keep the in-vehicle temperature at a suitable level. This prevents the target person inside the vehicle from experiencing heat suffocation, heatstroke, etc., and reduces the incidence of in-vehicle safety accidents. However, this method is energy-intensive. The driver may only leave the vehicle briefly, and frequent activation of the comfort function will waste resources and result in low energy efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more efficient control method for the in-vehicle target person comfort function.

[0027] The following describes specific embodiments in conjunction with... Figures 1 to 4 The technical solution of this application will be described in detail below.

[0028] Some embodiments of this application provide a control method for in-vehicle target object care function, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0029] S1. Obtain the driver status of vehicle 3.

[0030] The driver's status includes both the off-vehicle status and the driving status. The camera of vehicle 3 can acquire video information inside the vehicle, and the driver's position can be determined through relevant recognition algorithms. If the driver is inside vehicle 3, the driver is in the driving status; if the driver is not inside vehicle 3, the driver is in the off-vehicle status. Alternatively, the infrared sensor of vehicle 3 can detect whether there are any life signs in the driver's seat of vehicle 3. If no life signs are detected, the driver's status is off-vehicle; if life signs are detected, the driver's status is in the driving status.

[0031] The VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) of vehicle 3 can obtain the driver status of vehicle 3 and determine whether the driver is in an off-vehicle state, providing a basis for subsequent detection of the target object's activation. When the driver is in vehicle 3, he can control the in-vehicle equipment himself without the need for vehicle 3 to actively activate the care function.

[0032] S2. When the driver is in an off-vehicle state, detect whether there is a target object inside the vehicle 3.

[0033] The VCU can control the infrared sensors of vehicle 3 to detect whether there are any signs of life inside the vehicle. If no signs of life are detected, it means that there is no target object. If signs of life are detected, it means that there is a target object. Alternatively, the VCU can control the sound sensors of vehicle 3 to detect whether the sound intensity inside the vehicle exceeds a preset intensity, such as 40dB. If the sound intensity exceeds the preset intensity, it means that there is a target object. If the sound intensity is less than or equal to the preset intensity, it means that there is no target object.

[0034] The target audience may include children, the elderly, patients, or pets, etc., without any specific restrictions.

[0035] When the driver is off-vehicle, the system detects whether there is a target object inside vehicle 3, providing a basis for starting the subsequent timing. When there is no target object inside vehicle 3, the care function does not need to be activated.

[0036] S3. When the target object is present in the vehicle 3, the VCU can start timing to provide a basis for activating the care function later.

[0037] S4. When the duration of the timekeeping is greater than or equal to the preset duration, the preset care function of the vehicle 3 is activated.

[0038] The preset duration is, for example, 10 minutes, and the care function is, for example, turning on the air conditioner to external circulation mode, etc., without any specific limitation. When the timed duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration, it means that the driver has been away from vehicle 3 for a relatively long time. At this time, the VCU can activate the vehicle 3's preset care function to prevent the target from suffering from heat asphyxiation, heatstroke, etc. Compared with activating the care function immediately after the driver leaves the vehicle, it can save energy while preventing the target from suffering from heat asphyxiation, etc. It avoids the waste of resources and low energy utilization rate of frequently activating the care function when the driver only leaves vehicle 3 for a short time.

[0039] The in-vehicle target object care function is simple and convenient to control. It can effectively prevent the target object from staying in the vehicle for a long time after the driver leaves, which may lead to heat asphyxiation, heatstroke and other phenomena. It reduces the incidence of in-vehicle safety accidents, saves energy and reduces consumption, improves the level of intelligence and humanization, and provides a high user experience.

[0040] In some embodiments, the following are included before step S4:

[0041] S310. Obtain the object type of the target object.

[0042] S311. Determine the corresponding preset duration according to the object type.

[0043] The camera in vehicle 3 can acquire video information inside the vehicle. Through relevant recognition algorithms, it can determine the type of the target object, such as children, the elderly, or adults, without specific limitations. The VCU can determine the corresponding preset duration based on the object type and the pre-stored object type-preset duration correspondence. That is, different care modes can be activated at different times for different target objects. For example, the preset duration can be shortened for the elderly and children who are in poor physical condition, so the care function can be activated as soon as possible; while the preset duration can be extended for ordinary adults who are in better physical condition, so as to achieve precise care and comprehensively improve energy efficiency.

[0044] In some embodiments, step S311 includes:

[0045] S3111. When the object type is a personnel type, the preset duration is determined to be the first preset duration.

[0046] S3112. When the object type is not a personnel type, the preset duration is determined to be the second preset duration, and the first preset duration is less than the second preset duration.

[0047] The types of people include, for example, the elderly and children, and the types of non-people include, for example, pets. The first preset duration is, for example, 10 minutes, and the second preset duration is, for example, 15 minutes. The specific duration is not limited.

[0048] When the object type is a person, the preset duration is set to the first preset duration; when the object type is not a person, the preset duration is set to the second preset duration. Since people are physically weaker than pets and require a higher level of riding experience, the first preset duration is set to be shorter than the second preset duration to achieve precise care and comprehensively improve energy efficiency.

[0049] In some embodiments, step S4 includes:

[0050] S401. When the duration of the timekeeping is greater than or equal to the preset duration, obtain the status information of the vehicle 3.

[0051] The status information of vehicle 3 includes, for example, the status of doors, windows, air conditioning, and interior temperature, etc., without being limited to any specific information. The VCU can obtain the status information of vehicle 3 to provide a basis for activating the care function later.

[0052] S402. When the status information meets the preset care function activation conditions, the preset care function of the vehicle 3 is activated.

[0053] The conditions for activating the care function include that the doors, windows, and air conditioning are all closed, and the interior temperature is less than or equal to a first preset temperature, or greater than or equal to a second preset temperature. The second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature. For example, the first preset temperature is 14°C and the second preset temperature is 28°C. The specific conditions are not limited.

[0054] If the door status, window status, and air conditioning status are all closed, it means that the vehicle is in a sealed environment. If the interior temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, or greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, it means that the interior temperature is too low or too high.

[0055] The care function includes activating the vehicle 3's temperature control system to control the interior temperature to a preset temperature, such as 18℃-24℃, with no specific limitation. It can be adjusted according to the ambient temperature and is negatively correlated with the outside ambient temperature to prevent the target from overheating or cooling, thus avoiding heat suffocation, heatstroke, frostbite, etc. The care function also includes activating the vehicle 3's air conditioning to external circulation mode to prevent the vehicle 3 from being sealed up, thus preventing the target from suffocating and ensuring the safety of the vehicle 3. The care function also includes opening the vehicle 3's windows, such as opening the sunroof, to prevent the vehicle 3 from being sealed up, thus preventing the target from suffocating, and with low energy consumption.

[0056] The VCU will only activate the care function once the preset conditions for activation are met by setting the status information. This avoids ineffective activation and wasted resources when the care mode is not activated in situations such as when the vehicle is not enclosed or at high temperatures, or when the user operates the in-vehicle equipment.

[0057] In some embodiments, activating the preset care function of the vehicle 3 includes:

[0058] S410: Obtain the remaining battery power of the vehicle 3.

[0059] The VCU can obtain the remaining battery power of vehicle 3 and store the preset remaining battery power. By comparing the remaining battery power with the preset remaining battery power, different care functions of vehicle 3 can be activated to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

[0060] S411. When the remaining battery power is less than or equal to the preset remaining power, open the window of the vehicle 3.

[0061] The preset remaining battery power is, for example, 20%, and there is no specific limit. When the remaining battery power is less than or equal to the preset remaining battery power, it means that the battery power is low. At this time, opening the windows of vehicle 3, such as opening the sunroof for ventilation, consumes less energy and prevents the target from experiencing heat suffocation, heatstroke, or other phenomena, thereby reducing the incidence of safety accidents inside the vehicle.

[0062] S412. When the remaining battery power is greater than the preset remaining power, turn on the air conditioning of the vehicle 3 to the external circulation state, and at the same time turn on the temperature regulation system of the vehicle 3 to control the interior temperature to the preset temperature.

[0063] When the remaining battery power is greater than the preset remaining power, it means that the power is high. At this time, the air conditioner of vehicle 3 is turned on to the external circulation mode, and the temperature regulation system of vehicle 3 is turned on to control the interior temperature to the preset temperature. This is safer and can effectively prevent the target from experiencing heat suffocation, heatstroke, and other phenomena, reduce the incidence of in-vehicle safety accidents, and make the target more comfortable.

[0064] In some embodiments, activating the preset care function of the vehicle 3 includes, prior to:

[0065] S403. Obtain video information from inside the vehicle 3 and send the video information to the driver's terminal 4.

[0066] The driver's terminal 4 is, for example, a mobile phone terminal, and there is no specific limitation. The camera of vehicle 3 can obtain video information inside the vehicle and send it to the driver's terminal 4 through the vehicle network system (T-BOX, Telematics-BOX) of vehicle 3, so that the driver can understand the situation of the target object inside the vehicle and determine whether it is necessary to return to vehicle 3, etc.

[0067] In some embodiments, activating the preset care function of the vehicle 3 includes:

[0068] S404, Send a request to the driver terminal 4 to enable the care function.

[0069] The care function activation request may include safety warning information to remind the driver to pay attention to the situation inside the vehicle; the care function activation request may also include specific options for the care function that the vehicle 3 is about to activate, such as the option to turn on the air conditioning, the option to open the windows, and the option to turn on the temperature control system, etc., for the driver to select and remotely control the vehicle 3. The driver terminal 4 can send a command to the vehicle 3 to disagree with or agree to the activation based on the care function activation request.

[0070] After sending a request to enable the care function to the driver terminal 4, the vehicle care function 3 will be enabled within a preset time interval based on whether the driver terminal 4 sends an instruction and the type of instruction, thereby improving the user experience.

[0071] S405. When a driver terminal 4 sends an authorization to enable the function within a preset time interval, the preset care function of the vehicle 3 is enabled.

[0072] S406. When a driver terminal 4 sends an unauthorized activation command within a preset time interval, the preset care function of the vehicle 3 is not activated.

[0073] The driver terminal 4 can receive requests to activate the care function and display in-vehicle video information, allowing the driver to determine whether the care function needs to be activated, thus avoiding incorrect judgments by the vehicle's VCU.

[0074] The preset time interval is, for example, 1 minute, but there is no specific limit. The preset time interval is set as the time allowed for the driver to make a judgment.

[0075] The driver terminal 4 sends an authorization to or dissent to the vehicle 3. When the vehicle 3 receives the authorization to or dissent within a preset time interval, the vehicle 3’s care function is activated. When the vehicle 3 receives the authorization to or dissent within a preset time interval, the vehicle 3’s care function is not activated.

[0076] S407. When no instruction is received from the driver terminal 4 within a preset time interval, the preset care function of the vehicle 3 is activated.

[0077] If no instruction is received from the driver terminal 4 within the preset time interval, that is, if no instruction to disagree with or agree to enable is received, it means that the driver may have ignored the request to enable the care function. In this case, forcibly enabling the care function can effectively prevent the target from experiencing heat suffocation, heatstroke, or other phenomena, reduce the incidence of in-vehicle safety accidents, and avoid adverse effects caused by the driver's untimely feedback.

[0078] In some embodiments, the care function is turned off when the driver is in a driving state.

[0079] The driver is in driving mode, which means the driver is back in vehicle 3 and can adjust the in-vehicle equipment at will, so the care function is turned off.

[0080] In some embodiments, when the status information meets the preset care function shutdown conditions, the care function is shut down.

[0081] The conditions for turning off the care function include the interior temperature being at a preset temperature for a first target duration, such as the interior temperature being 24°C for 30 minutes, which will turn off the temperature regulation system and improve energy efficiency.

[0082] The conditions for turning off the care function also include opening the windows or air conditioning for a second target duration, such as opening the windows or air conditioning for 60 minutes, then closing the windows or air conditioning to improve energy efficiency and vehicle safety.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, a control device for in-vehicle target object care function is provided, referencing... Figure 2 The system includes: an acquisition module 21 configured to acquire the driver status of the vehicle 3; a detection module 22 configured to detect whether a target object exists inside the vehicle 3 when the driver status is off-vehicle; a timing module 23 configured to start timing when the target object is inside the vehicle 3; and a care module 24 configured to activate a preset care function of the vehicle 3 when the timing duration is greater than or equal to a preset duration.

[0085] In some embodiments, the care module 24 is further configured to obtain the object type of the target object and determine a corresponding preset duration based on the object type.

[0086] In some embodiments, the care module 24 is further configured to determine a first preset duration when the object type is a person type; and to determine a second preset duration when the object type is a non-person type, wherein the first preset duration is less than the second preset duration.

[0087] In some embodiments, the care module 24 is further configured to obtain the remaining battery power of the vehicle 3; when the remaining battery power is less than or equal to a preset remaining battery power, open the windows of the vehicle 3; when the remaining battery power is greater than the preset remaining battery power, turn on the air conditioning of the vehicle 3 to external circulation mode, and simultaneously turn on the temperature regulation system of the vehicle 3 to control the interior temperature to a preset temperature.

[0088] In some embodiments, the care module 24 is further configured to send a care function activation request to the driver terminal 4; when a consent activation instruction is received from the driver terminal 4 within a preset time interval, the preset care function of the vehicle 3 is activated; when no instruction is received from the driver terminal 4 within a preset time interval, the preset care function of the vehicle 3 is activated.

[0089] In some embodiments, the care module 24 is further configured to acquire video information inside the vehicle 3 and send the video information to the driver's terminal 4.
