[0002] As the automotive industry develops and becomes increasingly intelligent, various related functional scenarios are also increasing. Among them, the car wash mode has a wiper disabling function, but the wiper disabling method is relatively simple and cannot adapt to many car models or meet the diverse needs of users. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] This invention provides a method for controlling windshield wiper disabling, comprising:

[0006] In the partial wiper mode disable mode, the first target object responds to the wiper disable signal to disable the wipers, and controls the wipers to remain in the disabled state without disabling the wipers; wherein, the first target object is one or more of the following: water level detector, wiper controller, and wipers;

[0008] Optionally, the first target object responds to the wiper disable signal to disable the wipers, including at least one of the following methods:

[0009] Method 1: The water level detector responds to the wiper disable signal, and the water level detector prohibits the detection of water level on the wiper's target, thus disabling the wipers.

[0010] Method 2: The wiper controller responds to the wiper disable signal. If the wiper controller receives a wiper action request sent by the water level detector, it does not respond to the wiper action request, thus disabling the wipers.

[0011] Method 3: The wiper responds to the wiper disable signal. If the wiper receives a wiper control signal sent by the wiper controller, it does not respond to the wiper control signal, thus disabling the wiper.

[0012] Optionally, the second target object responds to the wiper disable signal by putting the wipers in the disabled state, including at least one of the following methods:

[0013] Method 4: The wiper controller responds to the wiper disable signal. If the wiper controller receives a wiper action request sent by the water level detector, it does not respond to the wiper action request, thus disabling the wipers.

[0014] Method 5: The wiper controller responds to the wiper disable signal. If the wiper controller receives a wiper mode switching signal, it does not respond to the wiper mode switching signal, thus disabling the wipers.

[0015] Method 6: The wiper responds to the wiper disable signal. If the wiper receives a wiper control signal sent by the wiper controller, it does not respond to the wiper control signal, thus disabling the wiper.

[0016] Method 7: The wiper responds to the wiper disable signal. If the wiper receives the wiper mode switching signal, it does not respond to the wiper mode switching signal, thus disabling the wiper.

[0017] Optionally, if the windshield wiper receives a windshield wiper control signal from the windshield wiper controller, it will not respond to the windshield wiper control signal, thus disabling the windshield wiper, including:

[0018] When the windshield wiper is a mechanical windshield wiper, if the relay of the mechanical windshield wiper receives the windshield wiper drive signal sent by the windshield wiper controller, it will not respond to the windshield wiper drive signal, thus disabling the windshield wiper.

[0019] When the windshield wiper is an electronic windshield wiper, if the electronic windshield wiper receives the windshield wiper control signal sent by the windshield wiper controller, it will not respond to the windshield wiper control signal, thus disabling the windshield wiper.

[0020] Optional, also includes:

[0021] In the partial wiper mode disabled mode, if the wiper mode is switched or the first target object receives a wiper disable release signal, the wiper disable is released.

[0022] In the all-wiper-mode disabled mode, if the second target object receives the wiper-disable-cancel signal, the wiper-disable mode is canceled.

[0023] Optional, also includes:

[0024] Determine the wiper mode disable mode based on the current wiper setting or wiper mode disable command;

[0025] The wiper mode disable mode includes the partial wiper mode disable mode and the all wiper mode disable mode.

[0027] When the current wiper setting is automatic wiper setting, the wiper setting disable mode is determined to be the partial wiper setting disable mode;

[0028] When the current wiper setting is a non-automatic wiper setting, the wiper setting disable mode is determined to be the all wiper setting disable mode.

[0029] The present invention also provides a windshield wiper disable control system, comprising:

[0030] The first wiper disable control module is configured to, in the partial wiper mode disable mode, respond to a wiper disable signal from a first target object to disable the wipers, and control the wipers to remain in the disabled state without disabling the wipers; wherein, the first target object is one or more of a water level detector, a wiper controller, and the wipers.

[0031] The second wiper disable control module is configured to, in the mode where all wiper settings are disabled, respond to the wiper disable signal to put the wipers in the disabled state, and control the wipers to maintain the disabled state without disabling the wipers; wherein, the second target object is the wiper controller and / or the wipers.

[0032] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the wiper disable control method as described above.

[0036] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this invention discloses a wiper disabling control method, system, storage medium, and electronic device. The wiper disabling modes include a partial wiper disabling mode and a full wiper disabling mode. Compared to the full wiper disabling mode where the wipers are disabled at all settings, the partial wiper disabling mode disables the wipers only at certain settings, allowing users to switch between wiper disabling and wiper activation by adjusting the wiper settings, thus meeting diverse wiper disabling needs. Furthermore, in the partial wiper disabling mode, one or more of the following can respond to the wiper disabling signal: a water level detector, a wiper controller, or the wiper blades. Even when the vehicle lacks a water level detector or different vehicles use different wiper disabling methods, the wipers can still be kept disabled. In the full wiper disabling mode, one or more of the wiper controller and / or the wiper blades can respond to the wiper disabling signal, enabling the wipers to be disabled even when different vehicles use different wiper disabling methods. This invention diversifies the windshield wiper disabling methods, thereby improving vehicle compatibility and meeting diverse user needs for windshield wiper disabling.

[0037] Of course, any product or method implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above advantages at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0046] 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 embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0047] This invention provides a method for controlling windshield wiper disabling, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0048] Step 101: In the partial wiper mode, the first target object responds to the wiper disabling signal, puts the wipers in a disabled state, and controls the wipers to remain disabled without disabling the wipers; wherein, the first target object is one or more of the following: water level detector, wiper controller, and wipers.

[0049] Depending on the vehicle model, some vehicles have wiper settings including OFF, AUTO, low speed, and high speed, while others have OFF, intermittent, low speed, and high speed, and still others have wiper settings including a pulse mode in addition to the above.

[0050] The windshield wiper disabling control method of the present invention can disable windshield wipers for a portion of the vehicle's windshield wiper settings. Specifically, it enables windshield wiper disabling at one or more preset wiper settings, while disabling it at one or more non-preset wiper settings. Thus, when the wipers are disabled at the preset wiper settings, switching to a non-preset wiper setting will deactivate the wipers. This allows users to switch between enabling and disabling wipers by adjusting the wiper settings, meeting diverse user needs. For example, if a vehicle's wiper settings include OFF, AUTO, low speed, and high speed, and the preset wiper setting is AUTO, in which the wipers are disabled, manually switching to low speed or high speed will deactivate the wipers. Manual operation has higher priority than automatic operation, simplifying user operation.

[0051] The first target object is at least one of a water level detector, a wiper controller, and a wiper. The water level detector can be a rain sensor or a rain light sensor (RLS), the wiper controller can be a body control module (BCM), and the wiper can be a mechanical wiper or an electronic wiper.

[0052] In practical applications, such as car wash scenarios, users can touch the wiper disable button displayed on the vehicle's screen or press the wiper disable button to initiate a wiper disable command. This wiper disable command can be sent directly as a wiper disable signal to the water level sensor and / or the wipers, causing the water level sensor to receive and respond to the wiper disable signal, and / or the wipers to receive and respond to the wiper disable signal. The wiper disable command can also be sent to the wiper controller, which then sends a wiper disable signal to the water level sensor and / or the wipers, causing the water level sensor and / or the wipers to respond to the wiper disable signal. Of course, the wiper disable command can also be sent directly as a wiper disable signal to the wiper controller, causing the wiper controller to respond to the wiper disable signal.

[0053] As an optional implementation, the first target object responds to the wiper disable signal to disable the wipers, including at least one of the methods one to three.

[0054] Method 1: The water level detector responds to the wiper disable signal, and the water level detector is prohibited from detecting the water level on the wiper's target, thus disabling the wipers.

[0055] In certain wiper disabling modes, such as when the wipers are disabled in AUTO mode, if the water level sensor does not receive a wiper disabling signal, it will detect the amount of water on the wiper's surface, which can be the windshield. If the water level sensor receives a wiper disabling signal, it will not detect the amount of water on the wiper's surface and will not send a wiper action request to the wiper controller, thus achieving the wiper disabling function at the water level sensor level.

[0056] Method 2: The wiper controller responds to the wiper disable signal. If the wiper controller receives a wiper action request from the water level detector, it will not respond to the wiper action request, thus disabling the wipers.

[0057] In some wiper mode disable modes, such as when the wipers are disabled in AUTO mode, if the water level sensor detects water stains on the wiper's target area, it sends a wiper action request to the wiper controller. The wiper controller receives and responds to the wiper disable signal, but does not respond to the wiper action request sent by the water level sensor, thus enabling the wiper disable function on the wiper controller side.

[0058] Method 3: The wipers respond to the wiper disable signal. If the wipers receive the wiper control signal sent by the wiper controller, they will not respond to the wiper control signal, thus disabling the wipers.

[0059] In some wiper mode disable modes, such as when the wipers are disabled in AUTO mode, if the water level sensor detects water on the wiper surface, it sends a wiper action request to the wiper controller. The wiper controller then sends a wiper control signal to the wipers. If the wipers receive and respond to the wiper disable signal, they will not respond to the wiper control signal, thus enabling the wiper disable function at the wiper end.

[0060] The windshield wiper can be either a mechanical wiper or an electronic wiper.

[0061] When the windshield wipers are mechanical wipers, if the relay of the mechanical wiper receives the wiper drive signal sent by the wiper controller, it will not respond to the wiper drive signal, thus disabling the wipers.

[0062] This invention provides a windshield wiper disable control device, such as... Figure 2As shown in (a), the wiper disable control device includes a wiper position control 21, a water level detector 22, a wiper controller 23, a mechanical wiper, and an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 24, the mechanical wiper including a mechanical wiper relay 25. The wiper controller 23 is connected to the position control 21, the water level detector 22, the wiper controller 23, the mechanical wiper relay 25, and the ECU 24.

[0063] The ECU sends a wiper disable command to the wiper controller, which in turn sends a wiper disable signal to the mechanical wiper relay. The ECU can also send a wiper disable command to the mechanical wiper relay. When the water level detector detects water on the wiper surface and requests wiper action from the wiper controller, the mechanical wiper relay, upon receiving the wiper drive signal from the wiper controller, does not respond to the wiper drive signal, thus disabling the wipers.

[0064] When the windshield wipers are electronic, if the electronic wipers receive a wiper control signal from the wiper controller, they will not respond to the wiper control signal, thus disabling the wipers.

[0065] The present invention also provides a windshield wiper disable control device, such as... Figure 2 As shown in (b), the wiper disable control device includes a wiper shift lever 21, a water level detector 22, a wiper controller 23, an ECU 24, and an electronic wiper 26. The wiper controller 23 is connected to the shift lever 21, the water level detector 22, the wiper controller 23, the ECU 24, and the electronic wiper 26.

[0066] The ECU sends a wiper disable command to the wiper controller, which in turn sends a wiper disable signal to the electronic wipers. The ECU can also send a wiper disable command to the electronic wipers. After the water level detector detects water on the wiper's path and requests wiper action from the wiper controller, the electronic wipers, upon receiving the wiper drive signal from the wiper controller, do not respond to the wiper drive signal, thus disabling the wipers.

[0067] This invention enables one or more of the following—a water level detector, a wiper controller, and a wiper—to respond to a wiper disabling signal in certain wiper disabling modes: when the vehicle is not equipped with a water level detector or when different vehicles control the wiper disabling method differently, the wiper can still be controlled to be in a disabled state. By diversifying the wiper disabling methods, the compatibility with different vehicle models can be improved.

[0068] As an optional implementation, in the partial wiper mode disabled mode, if the wiper mode is switched or the first target object receives a wiper disable release signal, the wiper disable is lifted.

[0069] If the first target object responds to the wiper disable signal and disables the wipers, and does not receive a wiper disable release signal, the wipers remain disabled.

[0070] To disable the windshield wipers, one method is to switch the wiper speed. The wipers are disabled when the preset speed is selected. By switching the wiper speed, the wipers are no longer in the preset setting, thus disabling the wipers. After disabling the wipers, they will operate normally upon receiving a wiper request. This allows users to toggle between enabling and disabling the wipers by adjusting the wiper speed, meeting diverse wiper disabling needs.

[0071] Another way to disengage the wipers is for the first target object to receive a wiper disengagement signal. This signal can be sent from the wiper controller to the water level sensor or the wipers themselves. Upon receiving the signal, the water level sensor detects the water level on the object being wiped and sends a wiper action request to the wiper controller. The wipers, upon receiving the signal, respond to the wiper control signal sent by the wiper controller. Alternatively, the ECU can send the signal to the water level sensor, wiper controller, and wipers. The wiper controller, upon receiving the wiper action request from the water level sensor, can forward it to the relay of the mechanical wiper, which then activates the wipers. Alternatively, it can forward the request to the electronic wipers to initiate the wiper action.

[0072] Step 102: In the mode where all wiper settings are disabled, the second target object responds to the wiper disable signal, disables the wipers, and keeps the wipers disabled without disabling them; wherein, the second target object is the wiper controller and / or the wipers.

[0073] The wiper disable control method of the present invention can also disable all wiper settings. That is, after receiving the wiper disable signal, the wipers will always remain in the disabled state no matter how the wiper settings are switched.

[0074] The second target is the wiper controller and / or the wiper. The wiper controller can be a body control module (BCM), and the wiper can be a mechanical wiper or an electronic wiper.

[0075] In practical applications, such as car wash scenarios, users can touch the wiper disable button displayed on the vehicle's screen or press the wiper disable button to initiate a wiper disable command. This wiper disable command can be sent directly to the wipers as a wiper disable signal, causing the wipers to receive and respond to the signal. Alternatively, the wiper disable command can be sent to the wiper controller, which then sends a wiper disable signal to the wipers, causing them to respond. Of course, the wiper disable command can also be sent directly to the wiper controller as a wiper disable signal, causing the wiper controller to respond to the signal.

[0076] As an alternative implementation, the second target object responds to the wiper disable signal to disable the wipers, including at least one of methods four to seven.

[0077] Method 4: The wiper controller responds to the wiper disable signal. If the wiper controller receives a wiper action request from the water level detector, it will not respond to the wiper action request, thus disabling the wipers.

[0078] In the mode where all wiper settings are disabled, such as when the wipers are disabled in the AUTO setting, if the water level sensor detects water stains on the wiper's target area, it sends a wiper action request to the wiper controller. The wiper controller responds to the wiper disable signal and will not respond to the wiper action request, thus enabling the wiper disable function on the wiper controller side.

[0079] Method 5: The wiper controller responds to the wiper disable signal. If the wiper controller receives a wiper mode switching signal, it will not respond to the wiper mode switching signal, thus disabling the wipers.

[0080] In the all-wiper-disable mode, such as when the wipers are disabled in AUTO mode, the wiper controller responds to the wiper-disable signal but does not respond to wiper activation requests sent by the water level sensor. When switching from AUTO mode to low or high speed mode, the wiper controller responds to the wiper-disable signal but does not respond to wiper mode switching signals, thus enabling the wiper-disable function on the wiper controller side.

[0081] Method 6: The wipers respond to the wiper disable signal. If the wipers receive a wiper control signal from the wiper controller, they will not respond to the wiper control signal, thus disabling the wipers.

[0082] In the mode where all wiper settings are disabled, such as when the wipers are disabled in the AUTO setting, if the water level sensor detects water on the wiper's surface, it sends a wiper action request to the wiper controller. The wiper controller then sends a wiper control signal to the wipers. If the wipers receive and respond to the wiper disable signal, they will not respond to the wiper control signal, thus enabling the wiper disable function at the wiper end.

[0083] Method 7: The wipers respond to the wiper disable signal. If the wipers receive a wiper mode switching signal, they will not respond to the wiper mode switching signal, thus disabling the wipers.

[0084] In the all-wiper-disable mode, such as when the wipers are disabled in AUTO mode, the wipers will not respond to the wiper control signal sent by the wiper controller after responding to the wiper-disable signal. When switching from AUTO mode to low speed or high speed mode, the wiper controller will not respond to the wiper-disable signal after responding to the wiper-disable signal, thus achieving the wiper-disable function on the wiper side.

[0085] The windshield wiper can be either a mechanical or an electronic wiper. For mechanical wipers, the windshield wiper disable control device provided by this invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in (a). For electronic windshield wipers, the wiper disable control device provided by this invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in (b).

[0086] When the windshield wipers are mechanical wipers, if the relay of the mechanical wiper receives the wiper drive signal sent by the wiper controller, it will not respond to the wiper drive signal, thus disabling the wipers.

[0087] When the windshield wipers are electronic, if the electronic wipers receive a wiper control signal from the wiper controller, they will not respond to the wiper control signal, thus disabling the wipers.

[0088] This invention enables the wiper controller and / or wipers to respond to wiper disable signals in all wiper modes. Even when different vehicles control the wipers to disable in different ways, the wipers can still be kept in a disabled state. By diversifying the wiper disable methods, vehicle compatibility can be improved.

[0089] As an optional implementation, if the second target object receives a wiper disable release signal in the all wiper settings disabled mode, the wiper disable is lifted.

[0090] Compared to some wiper mode disable modes, this mode cannot be deactivated by switching wiper modes. If the wiper mode is to be deactivated, it can be deactivated when the second target receives a wiper deactivation signal.

[0091] The wiper disable release signal can be sent from the wiper controller to the wipers. Upon receiving the wiper disable release signal, the wipers can respond to the wiper control signal sent by the wiper controller. Alternatively, the wiper disable release signal can also be sent from the ECU to both the wiper controller and the wipers. When the wiper controller receives a wiper action request from the water level sensor, it can forward this request to the relay of the mechanical wiper, which will then activate the wipers. Alternatively, it can forward the request to the electronic wipers to initiate the wiper action.

[0092] It should be noted that there is no specific restriction on the execution order of steps 101 and 102.

[0093] This invention also provides a windshield wiper disabling control method, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0094] Step 301: Determine the wiper mode disable mode based on the current wiper setting or wiper mode disable command.

[0095] The wiper mode disable mode includes a partial wiper mode disable mode and a full wiper mode disable mode.

[0096] Optionally, a method for determining the wiper mode disable mode based on the current wiper setting includes:

[0097] When the current wiper mode is set to automatic wiper mode, the wiper mode disable mode is set to partial wiper mode disable mode.

[0098] When the current wiper setting is non-automatic, the wiper mode is set to all wiper modes disabled.

[0099] The automatic wiper mode can be set to AUTO, while the non-automatic wiper modes can be set to intermittent, jog, low speed, and high speed.

[0100] Optionally, the method for determining the wiper mode disabling mode based on the wiper mode disabling command includes:

[0101] When the wiper mode disable command is set to disable all wiper modes, the wiper mode disable mode is set to disable all wiper modes.

[0102] When the wiper mode disable command is set to partially disable, the wiper mode disable mode is determined to be partially disable.

[0103] The wiper disabling command can be sent from the ECU to the gear control after the user touches the wiper disabling button displayed on the vehicle's screen or presses the vehicle's wiper disabling button.

[0104] Step 302: In the partial wiper mode, the first target object responds to the wiper disabling signal, puts the wipers in a disabled state, and controls the wipers to remain disabled without disabling the wipers; wherein, the first target object is one or more of the following: water level detector, wiper controller, and wipers.

[0105] Step 302 and Figure 1 Step 101 shown is similar and will not be repeated here.
