[0036] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0037] The following describes a method, apparatus, vehicle, and storage medium for expressing driving information using vehicle lights, based on embodiments of this application, with reference to the accompanying drawings. Addressing the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a method for expressing driving information using vehicle lights. In this method, when the vehicle is in a light signal expression mode, the driving information input by the driver is obtained; a light signal expression table is queried based on the driving information to obtain the optimal light signal expression type and optimal light signal expression method matching the driving information; based on the optimal light signal expression type, at least one of the vehicle's logo lights, side marker lights, brake lights, turn signals, and warning lights is activated, while simultaneously performing lighting actions using the optimal light signal expression method. This application obtains the optimal light signal expression type and expression method matching the driving information input by the driver, controls the vehicle to activate the corresponding lights, and executes lighting actions using the optimal light signal expression method. Therefore, vehicle lights can effectively reflect information such as driver, passenger, and vehicle safety, providing reliable driving information for other vehicles and greatly improving vehicle reliability and safety. This solves the problem in related technologies where light signal systems cannot provide more important driving information to traffic participants, resulting in other traffic participants lacking important driving judgment basis and greatly affecting vehicle driving safety.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for expressing driving information using vehicle lights, as provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for using vehicle lights to convey driving information includes the following steps:

[0040] In step S101, when the vehicle is in a signal-based operation mode, the driving information input by the driver is obtained.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, the user can determine whether the vehicle is in the light signal expression mode based on the vehicle driving environment, vehicle driving status, and the current status of the driver or passenger. If the vehicle has an abnormal malfunction or the driver or passenger is in an emergency, such as feeling unwell, the user can input the corresponding driving information to control the vehicle to enter the light signal expression mode, thereby ensuring the vehicle's driving safety.

[0042] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, obtaining driving information input by the driver includes: receiving at least one of the driver's voice information, manual operation information, and gesture information; and identifying the driving information based on at least one of the voice information, manual operation information, and gesture information.

[0043] It should be noted that when the vehicle is in the above-mentioned light signal indication condition, the embodiments of this application provide an operation switch for the corresponding light signal at the corresponding position of the driver's seat and display the current light signal status through the vehicle logo in the instrument panel or steering wheel.

[0044] Specifically, embodiments of this application may add a sliding switch and a push-button switch to the steering wheel or similar location in the driver's seat to control the vehicle's lighting signal modes. The sliding switch may have four positions: position 1 indicates no abnormalities in the vehicle; positions 2, 3, and 4 indicate abnormalities in the driver, passengers, and the vehicle itself, respectively. The push-button switch controls whether the vehicle's logo lights and other lighting devices flash; pressing it toggles the flashing state. Specifically, when the sliding switch is in position 1, the push-button switch is inactive, thus allowing the driver's input driving information to be obtained by controlling both the sliding switch and the push-button switch.

[0045] In addition, drivers can also obtain driving information by issuing voice commands and acquiring their voice data through devices such as microphones, obtaining driving information input by the driver through natural language processing, or recognizing the driver's gesture information through devices such as cameras.

[0046] Therefore, the embodiments of this application can obtain driving information input by the driver through multiple methods such as voice, manual operation and gesture information, which effectively improves the reliability of the obtained driving information, ensures the safety of vehicle driving while obtaining driving information, and improves the user experience.

[0047] In step S102, the optimal light signal expression type and optimal light signal expression method that match the driving information are obtained by querying the light signal expression table based on the driving information.

[0048] After obtaining the driving information input by the driver, the embodiments of this application can further query the light signal expression table based on the obtained driving information to obtain the optimal light signal expression type and optimal light signal expression method that match the driving information, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the light signal expression.

[0049] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the optimal light signal expression type and optimal light signal expression method matching the driving information are obtained by querying the driving information-light signal relationship table based on the driving information, including: identifying the abnormality type and the corresponding warning reason, warning degree and warning range according to the driving information; using the abnormality type and the corresponding warning reason, warning degree and warning range as an index, querying the light signal expression table, and determining at least one target light in the optimal light signal expression type and the target light color and flashing frequency in the optimal light signal expression method.

[0050] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the abnormality type and corresponding warning reason, warning degree and warning range are identified based on driving information, and the light signal expression table is queried to determine the target light color and flashing frequency in the optimal light signal expression type and optimal light signal expression method.

[0051] Specifically, embodiments of this application can combine the "double flash" in the light signal system to define additional light signals for three aspects: vehicle driver, vehicle passengers, and the vehicle itself, in order to construct a light signal expression table. This light signal expression table can measure the light signal expression from three aspects: warning reason, warning degree, and warning range.

[0052] As can be seen from the light signal expression table, the reasons for the warning can be considered from three aspects: the driver, the passengers, and the vehicle itself. It should be noted that additional light signal information for the driver can be defined as the driver's physical condition adversely affecting driving, such as feeling fatigued or experiencing physical discomfort; additional information for the passengers can be defined as special information about the passengers, such as the presence of children, elderly people, or pregnant women in the vehicle; additional information for the vehicle itself can be defined as the current abnormal condition of the vehicle, such as a damaged rearview mirror, brake failure, or steering wheel failure; among them, the "hazard lights" light signal is defined as the warning range of the above light signals. Generally speaking, hazard lights are set around the vehicle, so the operation of hazard lights by a specific light device reflects that the warning range of the light signal is the area around the current vehicle.

[0053] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, when expressing information about the vehicle driver, the vehicle logo light can be dynamically changed to yellow; when expressing information about the vehicle passengers, the vehicle logo light can be dynamically changed to green; and when expressing information about the vehicle itself, the vehicle logo light can be dynamically changed to red.

[0054] Regarding the level of warning, embodiments of this application can express it through the current flashing frequency of the light. Generally speaking, the more urgent and dangerous the situation, the higher the flashing frequency. Embodiments of this application can define the flashing frequency as once per second, etc. Considering the case of no flashing, the information that can be expressed is:

[0055] When the flashing indicator is not flashing, this vehicle is moving slowly for some reason and will not change lanes unless necessary. Please keep your distance from this vehicle.

[0056] When the flashing indicator is active, it means that this vehicle is engaging in highly aggressive driving behavior for some reason, and the situation is urgent and other vehicles need to give way immediately.

[0057] Since vehicle warning lights are only visible to vehicles in front and behind, the embodiments of this application can combine hazard lights with the flashing of visible lights around the vehicle to amplify the warning range. For example, if a vehicle experiences an abnormal situation but only needs to notify vehicles in front and behind in its lane, the hazard lights do not need to be activated; however, if a vehicle experiences an abnormal situation and needs to notify as many other vehicles as possible, the hazard lights must be activated.

[0058] When the warning situation does not fall under the categories of vehicle driver, vehicle passenger, or vehicle itself, or when a comprehensive warning situation exists, the embodiments of this application can turn off the warning light signal of the vehicle logo and only use the "hazard lights" signal.

[0059] Therefore, the embodiments of this application can determine the optimal light signal expression type and method by querying the light signal expression table, thereby effectively expressing information about the driver, passengers, and vehicle through light signals, enriching the information content of traditional light signals and improving vehicle reliability.

[0060] In step S103, while controlling at least one of the vehicle's logo lights, side marker lights, brake lights, fog lights, turn signals, and warning lights to be turned on based on the optimal light signal expression type, the lighting action is performed in the optimal light signal expression mode.

[0061] After obtaining the optimal light signal expression type and optimal light signal expression method that matches the driving information by querying the light signal expression table based on the driving information, the embodiments of this application can further control the vehicle's logo lights, side marker lights, brake lights, fog lights, turn signals and warning lights to perform light actions in the optimal light signal expression method, thereby realizing effective information transmission to other vehicles.

[0062] It should be noted that, in order not to affect the existing light signal system, such as parking lights, brake lights, fog lights, turn signals, and hazard lights, only one new type of light can be added. Considering future trends, the embodiments of this application can modify the vehicle logo to an luminous logo or a logo light, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it is incorporated into the light signal system, thereby giving it the meaning of expressing safety information. In addition, embodiments of this application can also display the current light signal status on the instrument panel. Embodiments of this application can use the car logo in the steering wheel for display, and add light to the steering wheel car logo, the color and flashing state of which are consistent with the vehicle logo.

[0063] Specifically, embodiments of this application can modify the front and rear logos of a vehicle based on LED lights, so that they present white light in both daytime running and nighttime running light modes, and can dynamically change color during vehicle operation, such as supporting yellow, green, and red. In the normal daytime running and nighttime running light modes, the logo lights do not need to flash, and can only flash under yellow, green, and red light modes.

[0064] The light signal table includes driver-related information, indicated by a yellow or flashing yellow vehicle logo light. When the vehicle logo light is not flashing, it indicates the driver is not in good driving condition; please keep your distance. When the vehicle logo light is flashing, it indicates the driver is not in good driving condition and there is an emergency; please give way. If the vehicle's hazard lights are not activated, the warning range is the area in front of and behind the vehicle. If the hazard lights are activated, the warning range is the area in front of, behind, to the left and right of the vehicle.

[0065] Light signals containing vehicle passenger information can be represented by a green vehicle logo light or a green light that flashes. When the vehicle logo light is not flashing, it indicates that there is a special group of passengers in the vehicle and the vehicle is moving slowly; please understand. When the vehicle logo light is flashing, it indicates that there is a special group of passengers in the vehicle and there is an emergency; please give way. When the hazard lights are not turned on, the warning range is in front of and behind the vehicle. When the hazard lights are turned on, the warning range is in front of, behind, to the left and right of the vehicle.

[0066] Light signals containing information about the vehicle itself can be represented by a red or flashing red vehicle logo light. When the vehicle logo light is not flashing, it indicates that the current vehicle is in an abnormal state, and you should keep your distance from the vehicle. When the vehicle logo light is flashing, it indicates that the current vehicle is in an abnormal state and there is an emergency, and you should give way. When the hazard lights are not turned on, the warning range is in front of and behind the current vehicle. When the hazard lights are turned on, the warning range is in front of, behind, to the left and right of the current vehicle.

[0067] For warning situations that do not pertain to the vehicle driver, vehicle passengers, or the vehicle itself, or for comprehensive warning situations, the embodiments of this application may adopt the rules of existing light signal systems, activate "hazard lights," and use the primary color (generally LED white) for the vehicle logo lights.

[0068] Therefore, the embodiments of this application can effectively expand the expression of additional driving information through light signals, so that information about the vehicle driver, vehicle passengers, and the vehicle itself can be accurately expressed through light signals.

[0069] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: detecting whether other vehicles are in a light signal expression state; when other vehicles are detected to be in a light signal expression state, collecting the actual state of at least one of the other vehicle's logo lights, side marker lights, brake lights, fog lights, turn signals, and warning lights; determining the other vehicle's driving information based on the actual state and the light signal expression table, and reminding the driver of the driving information.

[0070] Similarly, this vehicle can also recognize the light signals of other vehicles that are in the light signal expression mode.

[0071] Specifically, embodiments of this application can use in-vehicle cameras and other devices to collect the lighting status of other vehicles, such as vehicle logo lights, side marker lights, brake lights, fog lights, turn signals, and warning lights. Based on the actual status of the collected lights, it can determine whether the detected vehicle is in a light signal expression state. If so, it can combine the above-mentioned light signal expression table to determine the current light signal meaning of the detected vehicle and remind the driver or user of the vehicle through voice or other means.

[0072] Therefore, the embodiments of this application detect and identify the meaning of the light signals reflected by other vehicles when they are in the light signal expression state, thereby providing detailed driving information at a very low cost through the light signal system, so that other traffic participants can also make timely and effective responses, providing a reliable basis for safe driving.

[0073] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, after reminding the driver of driving information, the method further includes: generating assisted driving information based on driving information of other vehicles; querying a light signal expression table based on the assisted driving information to obtain the optimal assisted light signal expression type and the optimal assisted light signal expression method that match the assisted driving information; and controlling at least one of the vehicle's logo lights, side marker lights, brake lights, fog lights, turn signals, and warning lights to be turned on based on the optimal assisted light signal expression type, while performing assisted lighting actions in the optimal assisted light signal expression method.

[0074] It should be noted that after this vehicle recognizes the light signals of other vehicles in the light signal expression condition, the embodiments of this application can also control this vehicle to perform the same light signal expression based on the detected light signal expression type and light signal expression method in the light signal expression condition, so as to provide light signal prompts to vehicles that cannot be directly observed to be in the light signal expression condition later.

[0075] Therefore, the embodiments of this application perform light signal operations by mimicking the light signal expression type and method of the detected vehicles in the light signal expression condition. By relaying the light signals, other vehicles can be effectively reminded, thereby further improving road traffic safety and the reliability of light signal expression.

[0076] The method for expressing driving information using vehicle lights according to embodiments of this application involves acquiring driving information input by the driver when the vehicle is in a light signal expression mode; querying a light signal expression table based on the driving information to obtain the optimal light signal expression type and optimal light signal expression method matching the driving information; and controlling the activation of at least one of the vehicle's logo lights, side marker lights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights based on the optimal light signal expression type, while simultaneously executing lighting actions using the optimal light signal expression method. This application obtains the optimal light signal expression type and expression method matching the driver's input driving information to control the vehicle to activate the corresponding lights and execute lighting actions using the optimal light signal expression method. Therefore, vehicle lights can effectively reflect information such as driver, passenger, and vehicle safety, providing reliable driving guidance for other vehicles and greatly improving vehicle reliability and safety.

[0077] Secondly, the device for expressing driving information using vehicle lights according to embodiments of this application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0083] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the query module 200 includes a first identification unit and a determination unit.

[0086] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the acquisition module 100 includes: a receiving unit and a second identification unit.

[0087] The receiving unit is used to receive at least one of the driver's voice information, manual operation information, and gesture information.

[0088] The second recognition unit is used to recognize driving information based on at least one of voice information, manual operation information, and gesture information.
