[0050] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0051] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application pertains.

[0052] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, and it should also be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in the specification, there is a presence of a feature, step, operation, device, component and / or combinations thereof.

[0053] Embodiment one

[0054] The specific implementation process of the method for automatically identifying the car machine system language based on vehicle and user information will be described in detail below in conjunction with Figure 1

[0055] According to Figure 1 , the method for automatically identifying the car machine system language based on vehicle and user information specifically comprises the following steps: judging whether voice information is received before the vehicle is started, and determining the car machine system language according to the judgment result.

[0056] It should be noted here that the voice information may include driver-only voice information, passenger-only voice information, or mixed voice information of the driver and the passenger.

[0057] Among them, the voice information can be collected by using the audio receiver possessed by the vehicle itself.

[0058] Specifically, when voice information is received before the vehicle is started, and it is judged that the voice information comes from the driver, the language to which the driver voice information belongs is taken as the car machine system language.

[0059] When no voice information is received before the vehicle is started, the official language of the region to which the vehicle belongs before the vehicle is started is taken as the car machine system language.

[0060] For example:​

[0061] When the voice information is received before the vehicle starts, and it is determined that the voice information is from the driver, assuming that the language of the driver voice information belongs to English, then English is taken as the car machine system language.

[0062] When the voice information is not received before the vehicle starts, the current geographical position of the vehicle is obtained, assuming that the current geographical position of the vehicle is Paris, France, and the official language of Paris, France is French, then French is taken as the car machine system language.

[0063] It should be noted here that the current geographical position of the vehicle can be obtained by the positioning controller provided by the vehicle.

[0064] In some specific implementations, the process of determining whether the current voice information is from the driver is:

[0065] The voice information and the driver video information in the vehicle are obtained, and the voice features and the driver facial features are extracted respectively;

[0066] The extracted voice features are compared with the known voice features of the driver, and the driver facial features are combined to determine whether the current voice information is from the driver.

[0067] In this way, the owner of the voice information is determined by combining the voice features and the driver facial features, which improves the accuracy of the determination and lays a data foundation for subsequent accurate setting of the car machine system language.

[0068] If the current voice information is not from the driver, the official language of the region to which the current geographical position of the vehicle belongs is taken as the car machine system language. Under the premise that the driver voice information is not detected, the official language of the region to which the current geographical position of the vehicle belongs is taken as the initial language of the car machine system, which can make the vehicle match the current regional language and meet the unified setting of the car machine system language.

[0069] In some specific implementations, when the car machine system language is the official language of the region to which the vehicle belongs before starting, during the operation of the vehicle, it is dynamically determined whether voice information is received, when the voice information is received and it is determined that the voice information is from the driver, the car machine system language is immediately updated, and the language of the driver voice information is taken as the car machine system language. In this way, during the operation of the vehicle, the language of the driver voice information is taken as the highest priority to set the car machine system language by dynamically determining and analyzing the voice information, which realizes the personalized setting of the car machine system voice and improves the user experience of the vehicle.

[0070] The embodiment can automatically and accurately realize the language mode of the vehicle machine system required by the current user without additional workload, and avoid the problem of poor user experience caused by the mismatch of the vehicle machine system voice.

[0077] When no voice information is received before the vehicle is started, the official language of the region to which the vehicle belongs before being started is taken as the language of the vehicle machine system.

[0078] In the specific implementation process, in the vehicle machine system language determination module:

[0079] When the language of the vehicle machine system is the official language of the region to which the vehicle belongs before being started, during the operation of the vehicle, it is dynamically judged whether voice information is received, and when voice information is received and it is judged that the voice information comes from the driver, the language of the vehicle machine system is immediately updated, and the language of the driver's voice information is taken as the language of the vehicle machine system.

[0081] The process of judging whether the current voice information comes from the driver is:

[0082] Voice information and driver video information in the vehicle are obtained, and voice features and driver facial features are extracted, respectively;

[0083] The extracted voice features are compared with known voice features of the driver, and the driver facial features are combined to judge whether the current voice information comes from the driver.

[0084] In the car system language determination module, the official language of the region to which the current geographic position of the vehicle belongs is determined as the car system language if the current voice information is not from the driver.

[0085] If the current voice information is not from the driver, the official language of the region to which the current geographic position of the vehicle belongs is determined as the car system language.
