Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium for automatic engine start-stop. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing number of vehicles in Chinese cities, traffic congestion is becoming more severe. Vehicles consume more fuel during traffic jams and idling, leading to decreased fuel economy and increased emissions of harmful gases, thus worsening urban air quality. To address these issues, the engine start-stop system has emerged. This system is a micro-hybrid technology that stops the engine from running when the vehicle is waiting at a red light or in traffic jams. When the vehicle senses the driver's intention to start, it quickly restarts the engine, effectively reducing harmful gas emissions and lowering fuel consumption in urban conditions.

[0003] Currently, many vehicles equipped with start-stop systems have been launched on the market, most of which achieve automatic engine start-stop functionality through engine controllers or dedicated start-stop controllers. However, existing engine start-stop systems cannot intelligently start and stop based on the specific external environmental scenarios in which the vehicle is located, which can easily lead to safety issues. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent start-stop system that can detect the external environment in real time to optimize start-stop control, avoid damage to the engine, or prevent ineffective start-stop operations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium for automatic engine start-stop.

[0005] The present invention proposes a control method for automatic engine start-stop, comprising: determining that the automatic start-stop function of the vehicle engine is activated; determining whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario; and if so, controlling the automatic start-stop function of the engine to be deactivated.

[0006] In addition, the engine automatic start-stop control method according to embodiments of the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0007] Furthermore, determining whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario includes: acquiring image information of the environment in which the vehicle is located; and determining whether the vehicle is in the preset environmental scenario based on the image information.

[0008] Further, determining whether the vehicle is in the preset environmental scene based on the image information includes: when the image information is identified to include at least one of preset text, preset icon, preset image, and preset item, and the distance between the preset text, the preset icon, the preset image, or the preset item and the vehicle is less than a preset distance, it is determined that the vehicle is in the preset environmental scene.

[0009] Further, determining whether the vehicle is in the preset environmental scene based on the image information includes: when it is identified that the road surface where the vehicle is located in the image information is a muddy road surface and / or a snowy road surface, and the depth of the ruts reaches a preset depth, it is determined that the vehicle is in the preset environmental scene.

[0010] Furthermore, before controlling the engine's automatic start-stop function to be turned off, the system also includes: issuing a first prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be turned off.

[0011] Furthermore, after issuing the first prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be turned off, the system further includes: if an instruction to prevent the automatic start-stop function from being turned off is received within a first preset time, the system controls the automatic start-stop function of the engine to remain on; otherwise, the system controls the automatic start-stop function of the engine to be turned off.

[0012] Furthermore, after controlling the engine's start-stop function to be turned off, the method further includes: when it is detected that the vehicle is not in the preset environmental scenario in the image information, and the duration of the vehicle not being in the preset environmental scenario reaches a second preset time, controlling the engine's start-stop function to be turned on.

[0013] According to the engine automatic start-stop control method of the present invention, by determining that the vehicle engine's automatic start-stop function is activated and judging that the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario, the engine's automatic start-stop function is deactivated. This achieves deactivation of the engine's automatic start-stop function without manual user intervention, thereby optimizing the control of the engine's automatic start-stop function, improving vehicle driving safety, and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, before deactivating the engine's automatic start-stop function, a first prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be deactivated is issued; or before activating the engine's automatic start-stop function, a second prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be activated is issued. This avoids system misjudgments and further enhances the user experience. Furthermore, after deactivating the engine's automatic start-stop function, when it is recognized that the vehicle is not in the preset environmental scenario in the image information, and the duration of the vehicle not being in the preset environmental scenario reaches a second preset time, the engine's automatic start-stop function is activated. This enables automatic switching between activation and deactivation of the engine's automatic start-stop function, improving the intelligence of the automatic start-stop function. While ensuring driving safety, this effectively reduces the emission of harmful gases from the vehicle, lowers fuel consumption, and further enhances the user experience.

[0014] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention also proposes an engine automatic start-stop control device, comprising: a determining module for determining that the automatic start-stop function of the vehicle engine is enabled; a judging module for judging whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario; and a control module for controlling the engine automatic start-stop function to be disabled when it is judged that the vehicle is in the preset environmental scenario.

[0015] The engine automatic start-stop control device according to embodiments of the present invention determines that the vehicle engine's automatic start-stop function is activated and, when judging that the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario, controls the engine's automatic start-stop function to deactivate. This achieves deactivation of the engine's automatic start-stop function without manual user intervention, thereby optimizing the control of the engine's automatic start-stop function, improving vehicle driving safety, and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, before controlling the engine's automatic start-stop function to deactivate, a first prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be deactivated is issued; or before controlling the engine's automatic start-stop function to activate, a second prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be activated is issued. This avoids system misjudgments and further enhances the user experience. Furthermore, after controlling the engine's automatic start-stop function to deactivate, when it is recognized that the vehicle is not in the preset environmental scenario in the image information, and the duration of the vehicle not being in the preset environmental scenario reaches a second preset time, the engine's automatic start-stop function is activated. This enables automatic switching between activation and deactivation of the engine's automatic start-stop function, improving the intelligence of the automatic start-stop function. While ensuring driving safety, it effectively reduces the emission of harmful gases from the vehicle, lowers fuel consumption, and further enhances the user experience.

[0016] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention also proposes a vehicle comprising a processor and a memory; wherein the memory is used to store a computer program; and the processor is used to execute, according to the computer program, the engine automatic start-stop control method as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0017] According to embodiments of the present invention, by determining that the vehicle engine's start-stop function is activated and judging that the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario, the start-stop function is deactivated. This deactivation eliminates the need for manual user intervention, thereby optimizing the control of the start-stop function, improving vehicle safety, and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, before deactivating the start-stop function, a first warning message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be deactivated is issued; or before activating the start-stop function, a second warning message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be activated is issued. This avoids system misjudgments and further enhances the user experience. Moreover, after deactivating the start-stop function, when the image information indicates that the vehicle is not in the preset environmental scenario, and the duration of this absence reaches a second preset time, the start-stop function is activated. This enables automatic switching between activation and deactivation of the start-stop function, improving its intelligence. While ensuring driving safety, this effectively reduces vehicle emissions of harmful gases, lowers fuel consumption, and further enhances the user experience.

[0018] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing an engine automatic start-stop control program. When the engine automatic start-stop control program is executed by a processor, it implements the engine automatic start-stop control method as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0019] According to embodiments of the present invention, when the engine automatic start-stop control program stored thereon on a computer-readable storage medium is executed by a processor, it determines that the vehicle engine's automatic start-stop function is activated and, when judging that the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario, controls the engine's automatic start-stop function to deactivate. This deactivation of the engine automatic start-stop function can be achieved without manual user intervention, thereby optimizing the control of the engine automatic start-stop function, improving vehicle driving safety, and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, before controlling the engine automatic start-stop function to deactivate, a first prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be deactivated is issued; or before controlling the engine automatic start-stop function to activate, a second prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be activated is issued. This can prevent system misjudgments and further enhance the user experience. Furthermore, after controlling the engine automatic start-stop function to deactivate, when it is recognized that the vehicle is not in the preset environmental scenario in the image information, and the duration of the vehicle not being in the preset environmental scenario reaches a second preset time, the engine automatic start-stop function is activated. This enables automatic switching between activation and deactivation of the engine automatic start-stop function, improving the intelligence of the automatic start-stop function. While ensuring driving safety, it effectively reduces the emission of harmful gases from the vehicle, lowers fuel consumption, and further enhances the user experience.

[0020] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and readily understood from the description of the embodiments taken in conjunction with the following drawings, in which:

[0022] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an engine automatic start-stop control method according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0023] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an engine automatic start-stop control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0025] The following is for reference. Figures 1-2 The present invention describes a control method, apparatus, vehicle, and storage medium for automatic engine start-stop according to embodiments thereof.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an engine automatic start-stop control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, a control method for automatic engine start-stop includes the following steps:

[0027] Step S1: Confirm that the vehicle engine's start-stop function is enabled.

[0028] Specifically, the engine's start-stop function can be controlled by the engine controller or a dedicated start-stop controller, and a start-stop function flag bit can be set to determine whether the engine's start-stop function is activated. In a specific embodiment, when the engine controller or the dedicated start-stop controller activates the engine's start-stop function, the start-stop function flag bit is set to 1; otherwise, the start-stop function flag bit is set to 0. Thus, when the engine controller or the dedicated start-stop controller detects that the start-stop function flag bit is 1, it determines that the vehicle engine's start-stop function is activated.

[0029] Step S2: Determine whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario.

[0030] Specifically, the preset environmental scenarios include, but are not limited to, vehicles being at a gas station, driving on muddy roads, and / or snowy roads. When a vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario and the vehicle's engine start-stop function is activated, it is assumed that the engine may restart during a brief pause, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, after confirming that the vehicle's engine start-stop function is activated, it is necessary to check whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario.

[0031] Step S3: When it is determined that the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario, the engine start-stop function is turned off.

[0032] Specifically, when a vehicle is determined to be in a preset environmental scenario where a significant safety hazard is considered, the engine's start-stop function needs to be disabled. For example, when a vehicle is refueling at a gas station, if the engine's start-stop function is active, the engine will automatically shut off after the driver brakes. However, if the driver accidentally touches the accelerator, the vehicle may recognize the driver's intention to start and quickly restart the engine. Since a vehicle must be turned off while refueling, this is basic safety knowledge. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention, when determining that the vehicle's engine start-stop function is active, determines whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario. If the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario, the engine's start-stop function is automatically disabled without user intervention, thereby optimizing the control of the engine's start-stop function, improving vehicle driving safety, and enhancing the user experience.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, determining whether a vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario includes: acquiring image information of the environment in which the vehicle is located; and determining whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario based on the image information.

[0034] Specifically, multiple cameras installed outside the vehicle can collect image information of the vehicle's environment. This image information includes, but is not limited to, real-time images of the road surface, objects around the vehicle, and the sky. Based on the collected image information, the vehicle's current environment can be identified to determine whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario. When the vehicle is determined to be in a preset environmental scenario, the engine's start-stop function is turned off.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, determining whether a vehicle is in a preset environmental scene based on image information includes: when the image information is identified to include at least one of preset text, preset icon, preset image, and preset item, and the distance between the preset text, preset icon, preset image, or preset item and the vehicle is less than a preset distance, it is determined that the vehicle is in a preset environmental scene.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, an image recognition algorithm is used to identify image information. When the image information includes at least one of preset text, preset icons, preset images, and preset items, and the distance between the preset text, preset icon, preset image, or preset item and the vehicle is less than a preset distance, such as 5 meters, the vehicle is considered to be in a preset environmental scenario. For example, a gas station typically includes text such as "refueling," "92#," and "95#," as well as refueling equipment. Therefore, the presence of text such as "refueling," "92#," or "95#," or refueling equipment, and the distance between the text or refueling equipment and the vehicle, can be used to determine whether the vehicle is at a gas station. It is understood that the preset text, preset icons, preset images, and preset items can be pre-set and stored according to actual conditions. When the vehicle's engine start-stop function is activated, the collected image information is compared with the preset text, preset icon, preset image, or preset item to determine whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, determining whether a vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario based on image information includes: when it is identified that the road surface where the vehicle is located in the image information is a muddy road surface and / or a snowy road surface, and the depth of the ruts reaches a preset depth, it is determined that the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario.

[0038] Specifically, when the vehicle is traveling on a muddy and / or snowy road surface, and the rut depth reaches a preset depth, if the engine is briefly stopped, the vehicle will lose power support and may slip off the road, causing a great safety hazard. Therefore, when the image information indicates that the vehicle is on a muddy and / or snowy road surface and the rut depth reaches a preset depth, it is determined that the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario, and the engine's start-stop function is turned off to avoid the safety hazards caused by the engine being turned off.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, before controlling the engine's automatic start-stop function to be turned off, the method further includes: issuing a first prompt message that the automatic start-stop function will be turned off.

[0040] Specifically, since determining whether a vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario based on image information may result in misjudgment, when it is determined that the vehicle's engine start-stop function is activated and the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario, a first prompt message is issued indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be deactivated. This prompts the user to confirm whether they wish to deactivate the automatic start-stop function, thus avoiding misjudgments and improving the user experience. In specific embodiments, this first prompt message includes, but is not limited to, sound and text.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, after issuing a first prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be turned off, the method further includes: if an instruction to prevent the automatic start-stop function from being turned off is received within a first preset time, then the automatic start-stop function of the engine is not turned off; otherwise, the automatic start-stop function of the engine is turned off.

[0042] Specifically, after issuing the first prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function is about to be turned off, if the user does not issue a control command to confirm turning off the automatic start-stop function within a first preset time, such as 30 seconds, thus preventing the engine controller or dedicated start-stop controller from turning off the automatic start-stop function, then the engine controller or dedicated start-stop controller will control the engine's automatic start-stop function to remain on; otherwise, it will control the engine's automatic start-stop function to be turned off. In a specific embodiment, the user can confirm whether to turn off the automatic start-stop function by using the automatic start-stop function control switch or by issuing a voice command via microphone; there are no restrictions on this.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, after controlling the engine's start-stop function to be turned off, the method further includes: when it is recognized that the vehicle is not in a preset environmental scenario in the image information, and the duration of the vehicle not being in the preset environmental scenario reaches a second preset time, controlling the engine's start-stop function to be turned on.

[0044] Specifically, when the system detects that the vehicle is not in a preset environmental scenario in the image information, and the duration of this absence reaches a second preset time, such as 3 minutes, it is determined that there is no driving safety hazard after the start-stop function is activated. At this point, the engine's start-stop function is activated to allow the engine to stop working when the vehicle is waiting at a red light or in traffic jams, effectively reducing harmful gas emissions and lowering fuel consumption. This achieves automatic switching between on and off of the engine start-stop function, improving its intelligence and ensuring driving safety while effectively reducing harmful gas emissions, lowering fuel consumption, and further enhancing the user experience.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, before controlling the engine to start and stop, a second prompt message is issued indicating that the automatic start and stop function is about to be activated.

[0046] Specifically, since determining whether a vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario based on image information may result in misjudgment, a second prompt message is issued when the image information indicates that the vehicle is not in the preset environmental scenario. This prompts the user to confirm whether the automatic start-stop function is to be activated, thus avoiding misjudgment and improving the user experience. In specific embodiments, this second prompt message includes, but is not limited to, sound and text.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, after issuing a second prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function is about to be activated, the method further includes: if an instruction to prevent the automatic start-stop function from being activated is received within a first preset time, then the automatic start-stop function of the engine is controlled not to be activated; otherwise, the automatic start-stop function of the engine is controlled to be activated.

[0048] Specifically, after issuing the second prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function is about to be activated, if the user does not issue a control command to confirm the activation of the automatic start-stop function within a first preset time, such as 30 seconds, thus preventing the engine controller or dedicated start-stop controller from activating the automatic start-stop function, then the engine controller or dedicated start-stop controller will prevent the engine's automatic start-stop function from activating; otherwise, it will activate the engine's automatic start-stop function. In a specific embodiment, the user can confirm whether to activate the automatic start-stop function by using the automatic start-stop function control switch or by issuing a voice command via microphone; this is not limited to this method.

[0049] According to the engine automatic start-stop control method of the present invention, by determining that the vehicle engine's automatic start-stop function is activated and judging that the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario, the engine's automatic start-stop function is deactivated. This achieves deactivation of the engine's automatic start-stop function without manual user intervention, thereby optimizing the control of the engine's automatic start-stop function, improving vehicle driving safety, and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, before deactivating the engine's automatic start-stop function, a first prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be deactivated is issued; or before activating the engine's automatic start-stop function, a second prompt message indicating that the automatic start-stop function will be activated is issued. This avoids system misjudgments and further enhances the user experience. Furthermore, after deactivating the engine's automatic start-stop function, when it is recognized that the vehicle is not in the preset environmental scenario in the image information, and the duration of the vehicle not being in the preset environmental scenario reaches a second preset time, the engine's automatic start-stop function is activated. This enables automatic switching between activation and deactivation of the engine's automatic start-stop function, improving the intelligence of the automatic start-stop function. While ensuring driving safety, this effectively reduces the emission of harmful gases from the vehicle, lowers fuel consumption, and further enhances the user experience.

The determining module 11 is used to determine whether the vehicle engine's start-stop function is enabled; the judging module 12 is used to judge whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scenario; and the controlling module 13 is used to control the engine's start-stop function to be disabled when it is determined that the vehicle is in the preset environmental scenario.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, the determination module 12 determines whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scene, including: acquiring image information of the environment in which the vehicle is located; and determining whether the vehicle is in a preset environmental scene based on the image information.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the determination module 12 determines whether the vehicle is in a preset environment scene based on the image information, including: when the image information is identified to include at least one of preset text, preset icon, preset picture and preset item, the vehicle is determined to be in a preset environment scene.
