[0046] In order to enable ordinary people in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate so that the embodiments of the application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0048] Before giving a detailed introduction to the control method of the atmosphere lamp provided by the present application, a brief introduction to the implementation environment (implementation architecture) involved in the present application is first given.

[0049] The control method of the atmosphere light provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the controller in the atmosphere light control system. Figure 1 A structural diagram of the atmosphere light control system is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the ambient light control system 10 includes an in-vehicle information terminal 11, a controller 12, a shift controller 13, a wheel speed sensor 14, a speed controller 15, an ambient light assembly 16, a controller area network (CAN) 17, and a local interconnect network (LIN) 18. CAN 17 connects the in-vehicle information terminal 11, the controller 12, the shift controller 13, and the speed controller 15. The wheel speed sensor 14 is connected to the speed controller 15. LIN 18 connects the controller 12 to the ambient light assembly 16.

[0050] The in-vehicle information terminal 11 is configured to obtain a destination in response to a user's input operation of inputting a destination and store the destination in the CAN 17 .

[0051] The in-vehicle information terminal 11 has a built-in navigation system. The navigation system responds to the user's input operation of inputting a destination, plans a route to the user's input destination, and predicts the duration of traffic jams along the planned route. The in-vehicle information terminal 11 stores the traffic jam duration in the CAN 17.

[0052] The gear shift controller 13 is used to collect the current gear position in real time and store the current gear position in the CAN 17 .

[0053] The wheel speed sensor 14 is used to collect the vehicle speed in real time and send the collected vehicle speed to the speed controller 15 .

[0054] The speed controller 15 is used to receive the vehicle speed sent by the wheel speed sensor 14 and store the vehicle speed in the CAN 17 .

[0055] The controller 12 is used to obtain the destination from the CAN 17. The controller 12 is also used to obtain the current gear from the CAN 17 and determine whether the current gear is a forward gear.

[0056] The controller 12 is further configured to obtain the current speed of the vehicle from the CAN 17 .

[0057] The controller 12 has a built-in timer, which is used to start timing when the acquired vehicle speed is less than the preset speed. When the current vehicle speed is less than the preset speed, the controller 12 obtains the duration of the vehicle speed being less than the preset speed.

[0058] The controller 12 is further configured to store the target ambient light configuration parameters in the LIN 18 .

[0059] The ambient light assembly 16 obtains target ambient light configuration parameters from the LIN 18 and controls the ambient light in the vehicle to light up according to the target ambient light configuration parameters.

[0060] For ease of understanding, the control method of the atmosphere lamp provided in this application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for controlling an atmosphere light according to an exemplary embodiment. The method for controlling an atmosphere light can be applied to a controller in an atmosphere light control system. Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the atmosphere lamp includes the following steps:

[0062] S201. The controller obtains a predicted value of the traffic jam duration of the vehicle.

[0063] As a possible implementation method, the controller obtains the traffic jam duration prediction value of the vehicle collected by the vehicle information terminal.

[0064] For the specific implementation of this step, please refer to the subsequent description of the embodiments of this application and will not be repeated here.

[0065] S202: The controller determines a target ambient light configuration parameter from a plurality of ambient light configuration parameters according to the traffic jam duration prediction value.

[0066] The ambient light configuration parameter includes at least one of color saturation and frequency. The color saturation in the target ambient light configuration parameter is negatively correlated with the traffic jam duration prediction value, and the frequency in the target ambient light configuration parameter is negatively correlated with the traffic jam duration prediction value.

[0067] As one possible implementation, the controller determines, based on the predicted traffic jam duration, a traffic jam duration range within which the predicted traffic jam duration falls from a preset mapping relationship, and determines the ambient light configuration parameters corresponding to the traffic jam duration range as the target ambient light configuration parameters. The mapping relationship includes ambient light configuration parameters corresponding to multiple traffic jam duration ranges.

[0068] When the ambient light configuration parameters include color saturation, the preset mapping relationship may be as shown in Table 1 below:

[0069] Table 1 Preset mapping relationship

[0070] Traffic jam duration range (minutes) Ambient light configuration parameters [T1, T2] Preset Color 1 (T2, T3] Preset Color 2 (T3, T4) Preset Color 3

[0071] Wherein, T1 is smaller than T2, T2 is smaller than T3, and T3 is smaller than T4. The color saturation of the preset color 1 is greater than that of the preset color 2, and the color saturation of the preset color 2 is greater than that of the preset color 3.

[0072] For example, taking the predicted traffic jam duration of the vehicle as t minutes, t is greater than T2 and less than T3. The controller determines from Table 1 above that the traffic jam duration range within which the predicted traffic jam duration value t minutes falls is [T2, T3], and determines the preset color 2 of the ambient light configuration parameter corresponding to the traffic jam duration range [T2, T3] as the target ambient light configuration parameter.

[0073] When the ambient light configuration parameters include frequency, the preset mapping relationship may be as shown in Table 2 below:

[0074] Table 2 Preset mapping relationship

[0075] Traffic jam duration range (minutes) Ambient light configuration parameters [T1, T2] Frequency 1 (T2, T3] Frequency 2 (T3, T4) Frequency 3

[0076] Among them, T1 is smaller than T2, T2 is smaller than T3, T3 is smaller than T4, frequency 1 is greater than frequency 2, and frequency 2 is greater than frequency 3.

[0077] For example, taking the predicted traffic jam duration of the vehicle as t minutes, t is greater than T2 and less than T3. The controller determines from Table 2 above that the traffic jam duration range within which the predicted traffic jam duration value t minutes falls is [T2, T3], and determines the ambient light configuration parameter frequency 2 corresponding to the traffic jam duration range [T2, T3] as the target ambient light configuration parameter.

[0078] When the ambient light configuration parameters include color saturation and frequency, the preset mapping relationship may be as shown in Table 3 below:

[0079] Table 3 Preset mapping relationship

[0080] Traffic jam duration range (minutes) Ambient light configuration parameters [T1, T2] Preset color 1, frequency 1 (T2, T3] Preset color 2, frequency 2 (T3, T4) Preset color 3, frequency 3

[0081] Wherein, T1 is less than T2, T2 is less than T3, and T3 is less than T4. The color saturation of preset color 1 is greater than that of preset color 2, and the color saturation of preset color 2 is greater than that of preset color 3. Frequency 1 is greater than frequency 2, and frequency 2 is greater than frequency 3.

[0082] For example, if the predicted traffic jam duration of the vehicle is t minutes, t is greater than T2 and less than T3. The controller determines from Table 3 above that the traffic jam duration range for the predicted traffic jam duration of t minutes is [T2, T3], and determines the preset ambient light configuration parameters of color 2 and frequency 2 corresponding to the traffic jam duration range [T2, T3] as the target ambient light configuration parameters.

[0083] It should be noted that, if the target ambient light configuration parameters include multiple colors, the frequency can be the frequency at which the multiple colors are alternately illuminated (e.g., the frequency at which red and blue are alternately illuminated). If the target ambient light configuration parameters include a single color, the frequency can be the frequency at which that color flashes (e.g., the frequency at which red flashes). If the ambient light is illuminated in a flowing manner, the frequency can also be the speed of the flowing light.

[0084] S203 : The controller controls the lighting of the ambient light in the vehicle according to the target ambient light configuration parameters.

[0085] As a possible implementation, the controller stores the target ambient light configuration parameters in the LIN. The ambient light assembly obtains the target ambient light configuration parameters from the LIN and controls the ambient light to light up according to the target ambient light configuration parameters.

[0086] It is understood that the present application can determine target ambient light configuration parameters from multiple ambient light configuration parameters based on the predicted traffic jam duration, and control the lighting of the ambient light in the vehicle according to the target ambient light configuration parameters. The ambient light configuration parameters include at least one of color saturation and frequency. The color saturation in the target ambient light configuration parameters is negatively correlated with the predicted traffic jam duration, and the frequency in the target ambient light configuration parameters is negatively correlated with the predicted traffic jam duration. In this way, as the predicted traffic jam duration increases, the color of the ambient light becomes softer and the flashing frequency of the ambient light becomes slower, which can more effectively soothe the user's emotions in traffic jam conditions, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0087] In some embodiments, in order to determine that the vehicle is in a traffic jam, Figure 3 As shown, the above S201 can be implemented as follows:

[0088] S2011. When the duration of the vehicle speed being less than the preset speed is longer than the preset duration, the controller obtains a predicted value of the vehicle's traffic jam duration.

[0089] It can be understood that the duration of time the vehicle's speed is less than the preset speed and the preset duration can be used to determine whether the vehicle is in a low-speed driving state. In this way, combining the low-speed driving state with the traffic jam duration prediction value can more accurately determine that the vehicle is in a traffic jam, so that the subsequent determination of the ambient light configuration parameters is more accurate, which can further improve the user experience.

[0090] In some embodiments, in order to determine whether the vehicle is in a driving state, such as Figure 4 As shown, the control method of the atmosphere lamp provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0091] S301. The controller determines that the current gear of the vehicle is a forward gear.

[0092] As one possible implementation, the in-vehicle information terminal, in response to a user inputting a destination, obtains the destination and stores it in a CAN. The controller obtains the destination from the CAN. The shift controller collects the current gear position in real time and stores it in the CAN. The controller obtains the current gear position from the CAN and determines whether the current gear position is a forward gear. Furthermore, if the current gear position is a forward gear, the controller determines that the vehicle is in the forward gear position.

[0093] S302: The controller obtains the current speed of the vehicle.

[0094] As one possible implementation, wheel speed sensors collect the vehicle's speed in real time and send it to a speed controller. The speed controller, in response to the received speed, stores it in a CAN bus. The controller then retrieves the vehicle's current speed from the CAN bus.

[0095] S303: When the current vehicle speed is less than the preset speed, the controller obtains a duration during which the vehicle speed is less than the preset speed.

[0096] As a possible implementation, the controller has a built-in timer that starts counting when the acquired vehicle speed is less than a preset speed. When the current vehicle speed is less than the preset speed, the controller obtains the duration of the vehicle speed being less than the preset speed.

[0097] It is understood that the present application can determine whether the vehicle is in motion based on the current gear and current speed, and if the current speed is less than a preset speed, obtain the duration of the vehicle's speed being less than the preset speed. This enables more accurate subsequent determination of traffic jam conditions, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0098] In some embodiments, in order to obtain the predicted value of the vehicle's traffic jam duration, the ambient light control system further includes an in-vehicle information terminal, which is used to plan a route for the destination input by the user and predict the traffic jam duration of the planned route. Figure 5 As shown, the above S201 can also be implemented in the following manner:

[0099] S401. The controller obtains a predicted value of the vehicle's traffic jam duration from the vehicle-mounted information terminal.

[0100] As one possible implementation, the in-vehicle information terminal includes a built-in navigation system. In response to a user inputting a destination, the navigation system plans a route to the destination and predicts the duration of traffic jams along the planned route. The in-vehicle information terminal stores the traffic jam duration in a CAN (connected vehicle control system). Furthermore, a controller retrieves the traffic jam duration from the CAN and uses the retrieved traffic jam duration as the vehicle's predicted traffic jam duration.

[0101] It is understandable that the present application can obtain the predicted value of the vehicle's traffic jam duration through the on-board information terminal, and the control method of the atmosphere light provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented without adding new devices, which can reduce costs.

[0102] In some embodiments, the ambient light configuration parameters include color saturation and frequency. The multiple ambient light configuration parameters include a first configuration parameter corresponding to a first traffic jam duration range, a second configuration parameter corresponding to a second traffic jam duration range, and a third configuration parameter corresponding to a third traffic jam duration range. The minimum value of the first traffic jam duration range is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the second traffic jam duration range, and the minimum value of the second traffic jam duration range is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the third traffic jam duration range.

[0103] The first configuration parameter includes alternating multiple first colors at a first frequency, the second configuration parameter includes alternating multiple second colors at a second frequency, and the third configuration parameter includes alternating multiple third colors at a third frequency. The color saturation of each first color is less than that of the second color, and the color saturation of the second color is less than that of each third color. The first frequency is less than the second frequency, and the second frequency is less than the third frequency.

[0104] It is understandable that the configuration parameters of the ambient light can include multiple colors, which can increase the aesthetics of the ambient light and further enhance the user experience.

[0105] In some embodiments, to further enhance user experience, such as Figure 6 As shown, the above S203 can be implemented as follows:

[0106] S501: The controller controls the lighting of the atmosphere light in a flowing manner according to the target atmosphere light configuration parameters.

[0107] As a possible implementation, the controller stores the target ambient light configuration parameters in the CAN. The ambient light assembly obtains the target ambient light configuration parameters from the CAN and illuminates the ambient light in the vehicle in a flowing manner, so that the ambient light can present a flowing light effect.

[0108] It can be understood that by controlling the lighting of the ambient light in the vehicle in a flowing manner, the ambient light can present a flowing light effect, which increases the aesthetics of the ambient light and can further enhance the user experience.
