Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of vehicle networking technology, and more specifically, to a method, device, equipment, medium, and vehicle for controlling storage space. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicles are typically designed with multiple storage spaces within the cabin. These spaces can be cabinets, boxes, or storage compartments, and can be located on the dashboard, roof, beside seats, in the trunk, and so on. During daily use, car owners sometimes store important or private items in these storage spaces. These items require privacy, and owners don't want other passengers to see them. Therefore, ensuring the privacy of these storage spaces is a crucial aspect of vehicle design. Existing vehicle storage spaces fall into two categories: lockless storage spaces and those equipped with mechanical or electronic locks.

[0003] Existing vehicle storage spaces, especially those without locks, can be opened by anyone inside the vehicle, compromising privacy. Mechanical or electronic locks require manual operation by the owner to lock or unlock, which is time-consuming and energy-draining if people frequently get in and out of the car, negatively impacting the user experience.

Attached Figure Description

[0015] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments of the present invention will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0016] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a storage space control method according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0017] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a storage space control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] As mentioned above, existing vehicle storage spaces fall into two categories: lockless storage spaces and storage spaces equipped with mechanical or electronic locks. Lockless storage spaces can be opened by anyone inside the vehicle, compromising privacy. Mechanical or electronic locks require manual locking and unlocking by the owner, which is time-consuming and energy-intensive if people frequently get in and out of the vehicle, impacting the user experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage space control method that can ensure both the privacy and security of the vehicle's storage space while also guaranteeing the convenience of the owner's use.

[0020] To at least partially address one or more of the aforementioned problems and other potential issues, exemplary embodiments of this disclosure propose a method for controlling storage space. In this method, a current privacy mode of the storage space is determined based on a setting operation for the privacy mode of the storage space within the vehicle; the storage space is then locked or unlocked according to a control strategy corresponding to the current privacy mode.

[0021] This ensures the privacy of the in-vehicle storage space and enhances the convenience of using it.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a storage space control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0023] S11: Determine the current privacy mode of the storage space based on the privacy mode setting operation of the storage space in the vehicle.

[0024] In this embodiment, the storage space inside the vehicle refers to the space for storing items. It can be placed anywhere inside the vehicle as needed. The number of storage spaces is not fixed; different vehicle models can have different numbers of storage spaces. Privacy mode is the mode in which the vehicle controller, i.e., the vehicle's infotainment system, controls the storage space. The current privacy mode is the current mode in which the vehicle's infotainment system controls the storage space.

[0025] In this embodiment, the storage space inside the vehicle is generally a relatively enclosed space. The user opens the space to place or remove items and then closes it again. This storage space integrates a signal receiving unit, a control unit, and an electronic lock. The signal receiving unit receives control commands sent by the vehicle's infotainment system, and the control unit controls the opening and closing of the electronic lock. The user can set the privacy mode of the storage space through the vehicle's infotainment system. The user can open the privacy mode settings page on the infotainment system and freely select the desired privacy mode. After the user confirms the privacy mode, the vehicle's infotainment system will determine the current privacy mode of the storage compartment based on the user's actions.

[0026] For example, a car may have four seats, each with a private storage space next to it, also known as a privacy locker, for a total of four private storage spaces. Users can configure the privacy mode settings on the vehicle's infotainment system. The system displays three privacy modes: normal privacy mode, full privacy mode, and partial privacy mode. Users can select a mode and click "confirm," and the system will then determine the current privacy mode for the storage space based on the user's confirmation. In actual use, multiple privacy modes can be set; this is not a limitation.

[0027] In this embodiment, the storage space is controlled through the vehicle's infotainment system, and users can freely set the control mode of the storage space through the vehicle's infotainment system. Users only need to set the privacy mode on the vehicle's infotainment system to control the storage space through the vehicle's infotainment system, eliminating the need to operate each storage cabinet individually, saving manpower and resources, and improving the user experience.

[0028] S12: Lock or unlock the storage space according to the control strategy corresponding to the current privacy mode.

[0029] In this embodiment, each privacy mode corresponds to a control strategy, which is a strategy for controlling the locking or unlocking of the storage space. Different control strategies have different conditions for locking or unlocking the storage space.

[0030] For example, the storage space offers three privacy modes: normal privacy mode, full privacy mode, and partial privacy mode. These three modes correspond to three different control strategies. For instance, the normal privacy mode locks the storage space when it detects someone other than the owner inside the vehicle, allowing only the owner to open it. Users can set different privacy modes according to different usage scenarios. For example, they can use normal privacy mode for normal driving, full privacy mode for car washing or maintenance, and partial privacy mode for valet parking or using a designated driver.

[0031] In this embodiment, different privacy modes are used to control the storage space inside the vehicle. Different privacy modes can be set in different scenarios, and the storage space can be controlled by the vehicle system with different control strategies, namely locking and unlocking, to ensure the privacy of the storage space and protect the privacy of the car owner. This can be flexibly applied to different scenarios and facilitate the daily use of the car owner.

[0032] In another embodiment of the present invention, the specific steps for locking or unlocking the storage space according to the control strategy corresponding to the current privacy mode include:

[0033] S21: When the current privacy mode is normal privacy mode, obtain the identity information corresponding to the biometrics of the people in the vehicle, wherein the biometrics include at least one of the following: facial image, fingerprint, voiceprint, iris.

[0034] In this embodiment, the normal privacy mode is a type of privacy mode. The people in the vehicle refer to the people currently in the vehicle. The identity information corresponding to the biometric features is facial image, fingerprint, voiceprint or iris.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the privacy mode of the storage space is the normal privacy mode, the storage space is unlocked when only the car owner is in the car. The car owner can directly open the storage space and freely store and retrieve items. When the sensors on the car detect that there are people other than the car owner in the car, the car machine will control the information collection device in the car to collect the biometric characteristics of the people in the car. These biometric characteristics correspond to the identity information of the people in the car.

[0036] For example, the privacy mode of the storage space is in normal mode. When the sensors in the car, such as the door sensors, detect that the door is open, or the seat sensors detect an increase in weight on the seat, they send signals to the vehicle's infotainment system. After receiving the signals, the infotainment system determines that there may be other people in the car besides the owner. It then controls the in-car camera to capture the facial images of the people in the car, or extracts the fingerprints of the person who opened the door through the fingerprint extraction module on the door handle, or extracts the voiceprints of the people in the car through the in-car microphone. The method of extracting the biometric features of the people in the car is not limited here.

[0037] S22: Compare the identity information with at least one pre-stored identity information, wherein the at least one pre-stored identity information includes: the identity information of the vehicle owner, and / or the identity information of the person to whom the vehicle owner has granted privacy permissions.

[0038] In this embodiment, the pre-stored identity information is the identity information that the car owner enters into the vehicle's infotainment system in advance. The person corresponding to the entered identity information has privacy permissions, that is, the permission to freely use the storage space in privacy mode. The car owner can control the vehicle's infotainment system to enter other people's identity information, and the person who enters the identity information also has privacy permissions, which is equivalent to the person whose privacy permissions are granted by the car owner.

[0039] In this embodiment, the vehicle will compare the identity information obtained by the data collection device with the identity information pre-stored in the vehicle. If there are multiple people in the vehicle, the identity information of these multiple people will be compared with each identity pre-stored in the vehicle.

[0040] For example, if a car owner pre-stores their facial features in the vehicle's infotainment system, and also pre-stores the facial features of their spouse and children in the same system, then the car owner, their spouse, and children will have privacy privileges. The infotainment system will then compare the facial information of the occupants captured by the in-vehicle camera with the pre-stored facial information of those with privacy privileges.

[0041] In this embodiment, user identification can also be performed using finger vein technology. Personnel with privacy permissions can pre-store their personal finger vein distribution map in the vehicle system. A touch area is set on the surface of the privacy storage space, and a finger vein image acquisition device is set in the touch area. After the user touches the area with their finger, the finger vein image acquisition device acquires the user's finger vein image and compares it with the pre-recorded finger vein distribution map of the person with privacy permissions.

[0042] S23: When the identity information is different from each of the pre-stored identity information, lock the storage space of the vehicle.

[0043] In this embodiment, the identity information is different from each pre-stored identity information, indicating that there are other people in the vehicle besides the vehicle owner and those who have been granted privacy permissions by the vehicle owner. In privacy mode, in order to protect the privacy of the vehicle owner, the vehicle machine will lock all storage spaces in the vehicle.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the vehicle system detects the presence of other people in the vehicle, it sends a locking command to the privacy storage space in the vehicle. After receiving the command, the signal receiving module in the storage space transmits the command to the control unit of the storage space. After receiving the command, the control unit controls the electronic lock to lock automatically.

[0045] In this embodiment, under normal privacy mode, when the presence of any person other than the vehicle owner and those whose privacy permissions have been granted by the vehicle owner is detected in the vehicle, the vehicle system will lock the storage space to ensure the owner's privacy. Moreover, the locking is automatic and does not require the owner to lock it manually, saving the owner's time.

[0046] In another embodiment of the present invention, locking or unlocking the storage space according to the control strategy corresponding to the current privacy mode includes:

[0047] S31: When the current privacy mode is normal privacy mode, obtain the identity information corresponding to the biometrics of the people in the vehicle, wherein the biometrics include at least one of the following: facial image, fingerprint, voiceprint, iris.

[0048] S32: Compare the identity information with at least one pre-stored identity information, the at least one pre-stored identity information including: the identity information of the vehicle owner, and / or, the identity information of the person to whom the vehicle owner has granted privacy permissions.

[0049] S33: When the identity information is the same as any of the pre-stored identity information, unlock the storage space of the vehicle.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the sensors inside the vehicle detect that some people are getting off the vehicle, they will control the information collection equipment inside the vehicle to collect the identity information corresponding to the biometrics of the people inside the vehicle again. The acquisition and comparison of the identity information of the people inside the vehicle is the same as in the previous embodiment, and will not be described here again.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the identity information of the person inside the vehicle is detected to be the same as any of the pre-stored identity information, it means that the person inside the vehicle is a person with privacy permissions. After the vehicle system determines that the person inside the vehicle is a person with privacy permissions, it controls the storage space inside the vehicle to unlock, and the person inside the vehicle can directly open the storage space to store and retrieve items.

[0052] For example, when a person gets out of the car, if the sensor on the door detects that the door has opened and closed, or if the sensor on the seat detects that the weight on the seat has decreased, the vehicle's infotainment system will determine that someone may have gotten out of the car. It will then control the in-vehicle camera to take a picture of the person inside the car, obtaining a facial image of the person. The obtained facial image is compared with a pre-stored facial image in the vehicle's infotainment system. If the facial image of the person inside the car matches the pre-stored facial image, it is determined that the person inside the car has privacy rights. At this time, the vehicle's infotainment system sends an unlock command to the storage space. The signal receiving module of the storage space receives the command and sends it to the control module of the storage space. The control module of the storage space then controls the electronic lock of the storage space to unlock automatically.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the system detects that other people in the vehicle have gotten off, it automatically collects information about the people in the vehicle and then controls the storage space to unlock automatically. The vehicle owner does not need to manually unlock the storage space when other people in the vehicle get off, which makes it more convenient for the vehicle owner and improves the user experience.

[0054] In another embodiment of the invention, after locking the storage space of the vehicle, the method further includes:

[0055] S41: Obtain an unlock request for the storage space, the unlock request being generated based on the user's operation of the vehicle system, or the unlock request being sent by a terminal device bound to the vehicle.

[0056] In this embodiment, the unlock request for the storage space is used to unlock the storage space. The user can issue the unlock request on the vehicle's infotainment system or through a terminal device bound to the vehicle.

[0057] In this embodiment, there is a situation where, in normal privacy mode, there are people in the vehicle who do not have privacy permissions. At this time, the storage space in the vehicle is locked. If the vehicle owner or other people with privacy permissions want to open the storage space, they need to send an unlock request.

[0058] For example, if the storage space is in normal privacy mode, and someone without privacy permissions is in the car, but the owner needs to use or place items in the storage space, clicking the "Unlock Storage Space" option on the vehicle's infotainment system will trigger an unlock request. Alternatively, the owner can open the app linked to the vehicle, select the "Unlock Storage Space" option within the app, and the app's terminal will send an unlock request to the vehicle's infotainment system.

[0059] S42: The identity information of the user who initiated the unlock request is compared with at least one pre-stored identity information, the at least one pre-stored identity information including: the identity information of the vehicle owner, and / or, the identity information of the person to whom the vehicle owner granted privacy permissions.

[0060] In this embodiment, after receiving an unlock request, the vehicle system controls the information collection device to collect the identity information of the person issuing the unlock request, and compares the obtained identity information with the identity information pre-stored in the vehicle system. If the unlock request is sent through the terminal's APP, the terminal's information collection device collects the identity information of the person issuing the unlock request, and the terminal sends the collected information to the vehicle system for comparison with the pre-stored identity information.

[0061] For example, a user taps an unlock request on the vehicle's infotainment system. The system then controls the car's camera to capture an image of the person making the request, extracts their facial features from the image, and compares these features with all facial information stored in the system. Alternatively, the user taps an unlock request on a mobile app (which is linked to the vehicle). The app uses the phone's camera to capture an image of the user and sends it along with the unlock request to the infotainment system. The system then extracts the user's facial features from the image and compares them with pre-stored facial information. If the pre-stored identification information is fingerprint information, the system's fingerprint recognition module can capture the fingerprint of the person making the unlock request and compare it with stored fingerprints. Alternatively, the app can use the phone's fingerprint recognition module to capture the fingerprint and send it to the system, which then compares it with stored fingerprints.

[0062] S43: When the identity information is the same as any of the pre-stored identity information, unlock the storage space.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the identity information of the person making the unlock request is detected to be the same as any of the pre-stored identity information, it is determined that the person has privacy permissions. At this time, the vehicle system issues an unlock command to control the storage space to unlock.

[0064] For example, in normal privacy mode, if the car owner and a person without privacy privileges are both in the car, and the car owner needs to open the storage space to take out cosmetics for touch-ups, the car owner will operate the car's system or mobile phone to send an unlock request. After identity information comparison, the car's system will control the storage space to unlock, and the user can take out the cosmetics in the storage space for touch-ups.

[0065] In another embodiment of the present invention, the number of storage spaces is multiple; locking or unlocking the storage spaces according to the control strategy corresponding to the current privacy mode includes:

[0066] S51: When the current privacy mode is full privacy mode, lock all storage spaces.

[0067] In this embodiment, the full privacy mode is a control method for the storage space. In this mode, multiple storage spaces in the vehicle are locked and cannot be unlocked before the privacy mode is changed.

[0068] In this embodiment, the full privacy mode is to ensure the safety of the in-vehicle storage space in special scenarios. Unless the mode is changed, the storage space is always locked, ensuring the safety of the items inside the storage space.

[0069] For example, when the owner is not in the car during maintenance or washing, in order to ensure the privacy and security of the storage space inside the car, the owner can set the privacy mode of the storage space to full privacy mode on the car's infotainment system. In this mode, all storage spaces inside the car are locked and cannot be unlocked. After maintenance or washing, the owner can switch the privacy mode to another mode on the car's infotainment system.

[0070] In another embodiment of the present invention, the storage space is distributed around the seat; locking or unlocking the storage space according to the control strategy corresponding to the current privacy mode includes:

[0071] S61: When the current privacy mode is partial privacy mode, obtain the identity information corresponding to the biometrics of the occupants in the vehicle, wherein the biometrics include at least one of the following: facial image, fingerprint, voiceprint, iris.

[0072] In this embodiment, storage spaces are distributed around the seats, with one storage space next to each seat. Each storage space is equipped with an electronic lock. When unlocked, the user can open the storage space at any time to access items; when locked, the storage space cannot be opened. The partial privacy mode locks some storage spaces based on the distribution of occupants in the vehicle and their identification information.

[0073] S62: Compare the identity information with at least one pre-stored identity information, the at least one pre-stored identity information including: the identity information of the vehicle owner, and / or, the identity information of the person to whom the vehicle owner has granted privacy permissions.

[0074] In this embodiment, the process of extracting and comparing identity information has been described previously and will not be described again.

[0075] S63: When the identity information is different from any of the pre-stored identity information, obtain the seat number of the person sitting corresponding to the identity information.

[0076] In this embodiment, the seat number is a pre-set number, which can be set according to certain rules and is not restricted here.

[0077] In this embodiment, when it is detected that the obtained identity information is different from any of the pre-stored identity information, it means that the person corresponding to the identity information is a person without privacy permissions, so the seat number of the person's seat is obtained.

[0078] For example, the vehicle has four seats: the driver's seat is seat number 1, the front passenger seat is seat number 2, the seat behind the driver is seat number 3, and the seat behind the front passenger is seat number 4. If the identity information of the person in seat number 3 is detected to be different from any pre-stored identity information, then the person's seat is determined to be seat number 3.

[0079] S64: Lock the storage space around the seat corresponding to the seat number.

[0080] In this embodiment, the storage space around the seat is the storage space associated with the seat number. The seat number corresponds to the storage space number. After obtaining the seat number, the vehicle system sends a locking command to the storage space corresponding to that seat number. Upon receiving the locking command, the storage space locks itself via an electronic lock controlled by the control unit.

[0081] For example, if the vehicle's infotainment system obtains the seat number as 3, then it determines that the storage space corresponding to seat 3 is storage space 3, and sends a lock command to storage space 3 to lock it.

[0082] In this embodiment, some privacy modes can be applied to special scenarios, such as valet parking or when a valet is driving the vehicle. In these situations, the person in seat number 1 typically does not have privacy permissions. In this case, the vehicle system locks the storage space corresponding to seat number 1, preventing the person in seat number 1 from opening it. However, the people in the other seats can open their corresponding storage spaces. This ensures both the privacy and security of items stored in storage space number 1 and the convenience for other people with privacy permissions to use the storage spaces.

[0083] In this embodiment, the partial privacy mode can lock some storage spaces, locking the privacy space around people without privacy permissions while leaving the privacy space around people with privacy permissions unlocked. This increases the convenience for people with privacy permissions to use the privacy space while ensuring the privacy of the storage space.

[0084] In another embodiment of the invention, application scenario options can be added to the vehicle's infotainment system. For example, a separate scenario selection page can be set up, including modes such as car wash, maintenance, valet parking, chauffeur service, self-driving, and passenger transport. When the car wash / maintenance mode is selected, the vehicle's system will automatically switch the storage space's privacy mode to full privacy mode. When the valet parking / chauffeur service mode is selected, the system will automatically switch the storage space's privacy mode to partial privacy mode. When the self-driving / passenger transport mode is selected, the system will automatically switch the storage space's privacy mode to normal privacy mode. This provides a reference for users when they are unsure which privacy mode to use.

[0085] In another embodiment of the present invention, before determining the current privacy mode of the storage space based on the setting operation of the privacy mode of the storage space in the vehicle, the method further includes:

[0086] S71: Obtain the identity information of the user who issued the setting operation.

[0087] S72: Compare the identity information with at least one pre-stored identity information, the at least one pre-stored identity information including: the identity information of the vehicle owner, and / or, the identity information of the person to whom the vehicle owner has granted privacy permissions.

[0088] S73: When the identity information is the same as any of the pre-stored identity information, respond to the setting operation.

[0089] In this embodiment, setting the privacy mode for the vehicle's interior storage space requires privacy permissions; that is, only individuals whose identity information has been pre-registered with the vehicle's infotainment system can set the privacy mode for the storage space. The acquisition and comparison of identity information are the same as in previous embodiments and will not be described again here.

[0090] In this embodiment, when the operator's identity information is detected to be the same as any of the pre-stored identity information, that is, the operator has privacy permissions, the system responds to the operator's setting operation, that is, opens the privacy mode setting page of the storage space.

[0091] For example, when a car owner wants to set up privacy mode, they open the privacy mode settings page. The car's system first verifies the owner's identity, and only after successful verification does it display the privacy mode settings page.

[0092] In this embodiment, the personnel performing the privacy mode setting operation are identified, ensuring that unauthorized personnel cannot set the privacy mode of the storage space, thus guaranteeing the privacy and security of items in the storage space.

[0093] In another embodiment of the present invention, in order to ensure the privacy storage needs of multiple users in the vehicle, the privacy storage space can be configured as follows:

[0094] The car's privacy storage space is set up as multiple layers, each with its own lock. When a user with privacy privileges wants to open the privacy storage cabinet, the car system will open the corresponding storage space compartment based on the user's identity information.

[0095] For example, the car's privacy storage compartment is set up with two layers, positioned between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. The car owner is considered user one, and the first storage layer of the privacy storage compartment is used by user one. Another user with privacy permissions is user two, and the second storage layer is used by user two. When the car owner wants to open their designated storage layer, they initiate an unlock command. The vehicle's system can collect and verify their identity information. If the verification is successful, the first storage layer used by the car owner is opened. If user two initiates the unlock command, the second storage layer used by user two is opened.

[0096] To enhance user convenience, an unlocking area can be installed on the surface of the storage space. This unlocking area can be a touch sensor. When a user touches the unlocking area with their finger, the unlocking area captures the user's finger vein image or fingerprint and sends it to the vehicle's infotainment system to verify the user's identity. Once the verification is successful, the storage compartment used by that user is opened.

[0097] The storage space can also be set to open from the left and right, with two compartments on each side, corresponding to two users. It is placed between the driver's seat and the passenger seat. The driver's seat is for user one, and the passenger seat is for user two. When the driver touches the unlock area of ​​the storage space, the storage space opens the compartment facing the driver. When the passenger touches the unlock area of ​​the storage space, the storage space opens the compartment facing the passenger.

[0098] In this embodiment, a layered design is implemented within the same storage space, with different storage layers for different users. This ensures the privacy of each user in the vehicle, facilitates user use, and saves space inside the vehicle.

[0099] Based on the same inventive concept, one embodiment of the present invention provides a control device for storage space. (See reference) Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a storage space control device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0100] like Figure 2 As shown, the device includes:

[0101] The privacy mode setting module 201 is used to determine the current privacy mode of the storage space based on the privacy mode setting operation of the storage space in the vehicle.

[0102] The storage space control module 202 is used to lock or unlock the storage space according to the control strategy corresponding to the current privacy mode.

[0103] Optionally, the storage space control module includes:

[0104] The first identity acquisition submodule is used to acquire the identity information corresponding to the biometric features of the occupants in the vehicle when the current privacy mode is normal privacy mode. The biometric features include at least one of the following: facial image, fingerprint, voiceprint, and iris.

[0105] The first identity comparison submodule is used to compare the identity information with at least one pre-stored identity information, wherein the at least one pre-stored identity information includes: the identity information of the vehicle owner, and / or the identity information of the person to whom the vehicle owner has granted privacy permissions;

[0106] The first locking submodule is used to lock the storage space of the vehicle when the identity information is different from each of the pre-stored identity information.

[0107] Optionally, the storage space control module includes:

[0108] The second identity acquisition submodule is used to acquire the identity information corresponding to the biometric features of the occupants in the vehicle when the current privacy mode is the normal privacy mode. The biometric features include at least one of the following: facial image, fingerprint, voiceprint, and iris.

[0109] The second identity comparison submodule is used to compare the identity information with at least one pre-stored identity information, wherein the at least one pre-stored identity information includes: the identity information of the vehicle owner, and / or the identity information of the person to whom the vehicle owner has granted privacy permissions;

[0110] The first unlocking submodule is used to unlock the storage space of the vehicle when the identity information is the same as any of the pre-stored identity information.
