[0053] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that similar or identical parts are referred to by the same reference numerals in the drawings or description. Implementations not shown or described in the drawings are forms known to those skilled in the art. In the description of this application, terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0054] First Embodiment

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a control system 10, which may include a processor and a memory. The memory stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, the control system 10 is able to perform the corresponding steps in the intelligent cockpit control method described below.

[0056] In this embodiment, the control system 10 may further include a target seat and a corresponding rear seat. The target seat may be at least one of the driver's seat and the front passenger seat 100. The rear seat corresponding to the target seat can be understood as the second row of seats on the same side as the target seat. For example, if the front passenger seat 100 is located on the right side of the vehicle's smart cockpit, then the rear seat 200 corresponding to the front passenger seat 100 is the right-side seat of the second row in the smart cockpit, not the left-side seat of the second row.

[0057] The floor of the smart cockpit is equipped with a slide rail and a motor along the length of the smart cockpit. At least one of the target seats and the rear seats can be slidably mounted on the slide rail, and the motor is used to drive the seat mounted on the slide rail to slide.

[0058] For example, please refer to the reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The intelligent cockpit is equipped with a first slide rail 101 and a second slide rail 201. The front passenger seat 100 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail 101, and the rear seats 200 are slidably mounted on the second slide rail 201. Within the intelligent cockpit, the front passenger seat 100 and the driver's seat can be slid along their respective slide rails via corresponding motors, thus adjusting the distance between the front passenger seat 100 and the rear seats 200.

[0059] The target seat includes an electronically controlled adjustment component for adjusting at least one of the following: backrest angle, seat height, seat tilt angle, leg rest length, and leg rest angle.

[0060] The electronically controlled adjustment components can be, but are not limited to, electric motors, electric cylinders, etc. For example, the passenger seat 100 can be equipped with a backrest motor for adjusting the backrest angle, a lifting motor for adjusting the seat cushion height, a motor for adjusting the seat cushion tilt angle, a motor for adjusting the leg rest length, a motor for adjusting the leg rest angle, etc.

[0061] The control system 10 may further include a central controller, seat controllers, control buttons, a voice interaction module, pressure sensors, a camera, and a radar module. The camera and radar modules serve as data acquisition modules to collect data about the internal environment of the smart cockpit, obtaining an environmental dataset. The voice interaction module collects user voice information, and the pressure sensors, located on the corresponding seat cushions, collect pressure data to detect whether the seat is occupied. The central controller performs comprehensive analysis of the pressure data, voice information, environmental dataset, and other data.

[0062] The central controller can send control commands to the seat controller, which in turn controls the motor to adjust the seat's position on the slide rails. The seat controller can also control the electronic adjustment components to perform corresponding actions, switching between zero-gravity seat modes or returning to normal mode. The control button is a toggle button for switching between zero-gravity seat modes.

[0063] In this embodiment, the processor and memory can be integrated into one unit, for example, they can be integrated into a programmable control module. The programmable control module may include a decision unit, a driver's side control unit, a passenger's side control unit, an environmental control unit, and a scene setting unit.

[0064] The determination unit can be used to execute step 430 below; the driver's side control unit can execute steps 441 and 442 below when the target seat is the driver's seat; the passenger side control unit can execute steps 441 and 442 below when the target seat is the passenger seat 100; the scene setting unit can be used to execute step 450 below; the environment control unit can be used to execute step 460 below. Understandably, the programmable control module can be used to implement the corresponding steps in the following methods, which will not be elaborated here.

[0065] The central control display screen, voice interaction module, and control buttons can communicate with each other through the gateway and the programmable control module. The central control display screen, voice interaction module, and control buttons communicate with the gateway via WiFi or Ethernet. The gateway and the programmable control module can be connected via Ethernet.

[0066] In the smart cockpit, the driver's seat and the corresponding rear seats can also be equipped with the same sliding rails and motors as the front passenger seat 100 and the rear seats 200. The driver's seat can have the same functions as the front passenger seat 100, such as having the same electronically controlled adjustment components. The structure and functions of the driver's seat will not be described in detail here.

[0067] Please refer to this again. Figure 4 Inside the passenger seat 100, a connecting plate 300 and a foot pedal 301 can be installed, while on the driver's seat side, these are not required. The connecting plate 300 and foot pedal 301 can be deployed when the passenger seat 100 enters zero-gravity seat mode. Figure 4 As shown. When the passenger seat 100 returns to normal mode, the connecting plate 300 and the foot pedal 301 retract. The unfolded position of the connecting plate 300 and the foot pedal 301 can be adjusted by an electric cylinder or motor under the control of the seat controller.

[0068] Understandable, Figure 1 The control system 10 shown is only a schematic diagram; the control system 10 may also include components such as... Figure 1 Show more or fewer components. Figure 1 The components shown can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof.

[0069] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, the specific working process of the control system 10 described above can be referred to the corresponding process of each step in the following method, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0070] Second Embodiment

[0071] Please refer to Figure 5This application also provides an intelligent cockpit control method, which can be applied to the aforementioned control system 10, and the control system 10 executes or implements the various steps of the method. The intelligent cockpit control method may include the following steps:

[0072] Step 410: Receive a control command for switching the target seat in the smart cockpit to a zero-gravity seat mode, wherein the target seat includes at least one of a driver's seat and a passenger seat;

[0073] Step 420: Based on the control command, obtain the driving status information of the vehicle where the smart cockpit is located, the environmental dataset obtained by the acquisition module in the smart cockpit collecting the internal environment of the smart cockpit, and the current usage status information of the rear seats associated with the target seat.

[0074] Step 430: Based on the driving status information, the environmental dataset, and the current usage status information, determine whether the conversion conditions corresponding to the target seat are met;

[0075] Step 440: Based on the judgment result, control the target seat and / or the rear seat, wherein when the driving status information indicates that the vehicle is not in a parked state or the conversion condition is not met, stop adjusting the position of the target seat and the rear seat.

[0076] The steps of the intelligent cockpit control method will be explained in detail below:

[0077] In step 410, the triggering and generation of control instructions can be implemented in various ways. For example, step 410 may include:

[0078] Receive user voice information, and when the voice information includes preset information for switching the target seat in the smart cockpit to the zero-gravity seat mode, generate the control command;

[0079] And / or, receive the control commands input by the user through the central control display screen;

[0080] And / or, receive the control command generated by the user by triggering a control button in the smart cockpit, the control button being a switch button for switching the zero-gravity seat mode.

[0081] Understandably, preset information can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, in practical applications, after the user says something like "the co-pilot enters zero gravity," control commands can be automatically generated.

[0082] Of course, users can also input the target seat they want to enter the zero-gravity seat mode through the central control display screen using touch operation. At this time, the central control display screen will generate control commands.

[0083] In addition, control buttons for entering zero-gravity seat mode can be installed on the driver's seat and passenger seat. Users can trigger control commands by pressing the control buttons.

[0084] In this embodiment, users can flexibly trigger the switching operation to enter the zero-gravity seat mode in multiple ways, which enriches the triggering methods of the zero-gravity seat mode and helps to improve the user experience.

[0085] In this embodiment, step 420 may include:

[0086] Based on the control command, the driving status information is obtained from the vehicle's dashboard;

[0087] In addition, the acquisition module obtains environmental videos of the interior environment of the smart cockpit captured by the camera in the acquisition module;

[0088] Additionally, radar data obtained from the radar module in the acquisition module, which is collected by the radar module to capture the internal environment of the intelligent cockpit, is acquired, and the environmental video and the radar data are used as the environmental dataset.

[0089] In addition, pressure data collected by pressure sensors on the rear seats is obtained as the current usage status information, wherein when the pressure data exceeds a preset pressure threshold, it indicates that a user is sitting in the rear seats.

[0090] In this embodiment, driving status information may include, but is not limited to, vehicle speed and driving status. Driving status may include parked status, driving status, etc. The methods for collecting and acquiring driving status information are conventional and will not be described in detail here.

[0091] In this embodiment, one or more cameras can be installed inside the smart cockpit. Multiple cameras can capture the internal environment of the smart cockpit from multiple different angles to obtain environmental videos, which helps to reduce blind spots in the shooting.

[0092] Similarly, one or more radar modules can be configured, and these modules can be lidar. Multiple radar modules can acquire laser point clouds of the interior environment of the smart cockpit from multiple different angles to detect whether there are obstacles in the transition space between the target seat and the rear seat pose.

[0093] In this embodiment, the conversion space refers to the movable space of the target seat and the movable space of the rear seats when adjusting the position and posture of the target seat. If there are obstacles in the conversion space, it will affect the movement of the target seat / rear seats, thereby affecting the reliability and safety of the conversion.

[0094] The conversion space can be predefined by engineers based on the actual movable space. That is, after the driver's seat, front passenger seat, and all rear seats in the cabin are installed, the corresponding conversion space is usually a fixed-size space within the cabin.

[0095] The central controller uses video footage of the smart cockpit's interior captured by cameras to detect the presence of obstacles in the transition space. For example, the presence of objects such as a user's limbs or a backpack indicates the presence of obstacles; conversely, the absence of any objects other than the target seat / rear seat indicates the absence of obstacles.

[0096] Similarly, the central controller can determine whether there are obstructions in the transition space based on the laser point cloud data collected by the radar module. If there are obstructions other than the target seat / rear seat in the transition space, it means that there are obstacles in the transition space; if there are no objects other than the target seat / rear seat in the transition space, it means that there are no obstacles in the transition space.

[0097] In this embodiment, each rear seat is equipped with a pressure sensor. When the pressure data collected by the pressure sensor exceeds a preset pressure threshold, it indicates that a user is sitting in the rear seat (see [reference]). Figure 2 If the pressure data does not exceed the preset threshold, the rear seats are assumed to be unoccupied (see [reference]). Figure 3 In this way, the central controller can detect the usage status of each rear seat based on pressure data. The preset pressure threshold (e.g., 10 kg) can be flexibly set according to actual conditions, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0098] In step 430, the environmental dataset may include radar data collected by the radar module, cabin environment video collected by the camera, etc. The control system can perform safety detection on the zero-gravity seat mode transition from multiple dimensions such as the vehicle's driving status, cabin environment, and rear seat usage, thus improving the safety of the control mode transition operation.

[0099] As an optional implementation, step 430 may include:

[0100] When the driving status information indicates that the vehicle is not in the parking state, it is determined that the transition condition is not met.

[0101] When the driving status information indicates that the vehicle is in the parked state, the environmental dataset indicates that there are obstacles in the conversion space for adjusting the target seat and / or the rear seat posture, or the current usage status information indicates that a user is sitting in the rear seat, the result indicates that the conversion conditions are not met.

[0102] Understandably, in order to improve the safety of switching between zero-gravity seat modes, if the vehicle is in motion but not parked, the central control display can display a pop-up message to the user, "Do not adjust the zero-gravity seat while the vehicle is in motion to avoid accidental injury," and the message will be broadcast simultaneously via voice. At this time, the target seat (such as the driver's seat or the passenger seat) cannot be adjusted, and the control button for the zero-gravity seat is in the off state.

[0103] If the vehicle is parked, further detection of the environmental dataset and the usage status information of the rear seats is required. If the environmental dataset indicates the presence of obstacles in the conversion space, or if a user is seated in the rear seat of the target vehicle, then there is a safety hazard in performing the zero-gravity seat mode conversion, and the conversion conditions are not met. The detection methods can be found in the analysis and processing process of environmental video, laser point cloud data, and pressure data by the central controller mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0104] As an example, if an obstacle is detected in the transition space, or if a user is sitting in the rear seat, a pop-up window will appear on the central control display screen: "A person or object has been detected behind the driver / passenger seat. Exit zero gravity mode." The pop-up window will be announced simultaneously via voice. After a 5-second countdown, the pop-up window will close, the seat will not be adjusted, and the zero gravity control button will be turned off.

[0105] As an optional implementation, step 430 may include:

[0106] When the driving status information indicates that the vehicle is in the parking state, and the environmental dataset indicates that there are no obstacles in the transition space for adjusting the pose of the target seat and the rear seat, and the current usage status information indicates that no user is sitting in the rear seat, a result indicating that the transition conditions are met is obtained.

[0107] If the vehicle is parked, and the environmental dataset indicates that there are no obstacles in the transition space and no user is sitting in the rear seat of the target seat, then the transition environment is safe and the zero-gravity seat mode transition can be performed, thus meeting the transition conditions.

[0108] As an example, if no person or other obstacle is detected in the transition space and the vehicle is parked, a pop-up message can appear on the central control display screen: "Do not enter the rear seats while the front passenger seat is being adjusted" for 5 seconds, and a voice announcement will be made simultaneously. Then, step 441 will be taken to adjust the target seat position.

[0109] Step 440 may include:

[0110] Step 441: When the result indicates that the conversion condition is met, control parameters are determined based on the current interval distance in the environmental dataset, the current pose of the target seat, the pre-stored target interval distance and target pose. The target interval distance is the minimum interval distance between the target seat and the rear seat in the zero-gravity seat mode, and the target pose is the pose of the target seat in the zero-gravity seat mode.

[0111] Step 442: Based on the control parameters, adjust the position of the target seat and / or the rear seat so that the distance between the target seat and the rear seat is greater than or equal to the target distance, and convert the current position of the target seat into the target position.

[0112] In this embodiment, step 442 may include:

[0113] Based on the control parameters, adjusting the position and posture of the target seat and / or the rear seat so that the distance between the target seat and the rear seat is greater than or equal to the target distance, and converting the current position and posture of the target seat into the target position and posture, includes:

[0114] If the current interval distance is greater than or equal to the target interval distance, then at least one of the backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion tilt angle, leg rest length, and leg rest angle of the target seat is adjusted to convert the current position of the target seat into the target position.

[0115] If the current interval distance is less than the target interval distance, control the motor to drive at least one seat to slide on the slide rail so that the interval distance between the target seat and the rear seat is greater than or equal to the target interval distance, and adjust at least one of the backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion tilt angle, leg rest length and leg rest angle of the target seat to convert the current position of the target seat into the target position.

[0116] Understandably, in step 441, the control system pre-stores various parameters of the target seat in the target posture, such as backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion tilt angle, leg rest length, leg rest angle, and the minimum distance between the target seat and the rear seats. The central controller / seat controller can obtain control parameters based on the differences between the various parameters of the target seat in the current posture and the various parameters in the target posture. The control parameters may include at least one of the following: the backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion tilt angle, leg rest length, leg rest angle, and the unfolded position of the connecting plate and footrest of the target seat that needs to be adjusted; as well as the sliding distance of the target seat on the slide rail and the sliding distance of the rear seats on the slide rail.

[0117] In step 442, the seat controller can directly adjust the target seat's backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion tilt angle, leg rest length, leg rest angle, and the unfolded position of the connecting plate and footrest via an electronically controlled adjustment component based on control parameters. It can also drive the target seat and rear seats to slide on corresponding rails via a motor to adjust the distance between them. After adjustment, the target seat's current posture can be converted to the target posture. Furthermore, the distance between the target seat and the rear seats must be greater than or equal to the target distance. The target distance can be flexibly set according to actual conditions to prevent collisions between the target seat and the rear seats during mode transitions.

[0118] As an optional implementation, the method may further include:

[0119] Step 450: Based on the received change instruction, modify and store the configuration parameters of the target posture of the designated seat in the zero-gravity seat mode. The designated seat includes at least one of the driver's seat and the passenger seat. The configuration parameters include at least one of the backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion tilt angle, leg rest length, and leg rest angle of the designated seat.

[0120] Understandably, users can change the default target posture of the driver's / passenger seat in zero-gravity seat mode according to their own usage habits. This allows for personalized settings for individual users, enhancing their experience. For example, users can change one or more parameters of the passenger seat in zero-gravity seat mode, such as backrest angle, seat cushion height, seat cushion tilt, leg rest length, and leg rest angle. Once the target posture is modified, the passenger seat will switch to the modified target posture the next time it enters zero-gravity seat mode.

[0121] As an optional implementation, the method may further include:

[0122] Step 460: When the result indicates that the conversion condition is met, control the electronic devices on the vehicle associated with the zero-gravity seat mode to be in a specified state corresponding to the zero-gravity seat mode. The electronic devices include at least one of ambient lighting, air conditioning, fragrance diffuser, sunroof, sunshade system, and car audio system.

[0123] Understandably, ambient lighting, air conditioning, fragrance diffuser, sunroof, sunshade system, and car audio system are environmental functional units within the vehicle and are associated with the zero-gravity seat mode. If the zero-gravity seat mode is triggered, the environmental control unit can control the usage status of the ambient lighting, air conditioning, fragrance diffuser, sunroof and / or sunshade system, speakers and / or headrest speakers within the vehicle, such as turning on the speakers, turning on the ambient lighting, opening or closing the sunroof, etc. In this way, the various environmental functional units within the vehicle can be linked with the target seat in the zero-gravity seat mode.

[0124] In this embodiment, the user can modify the usage state of the environmental functional units according to actual needs, in a manner similar to modifying the configuration parameters of the target pose in step 450 above. After modification, the next time the user enters the zero-gravity seat mode, the corresponding environmental functional units will be controlled to operate in the modified usage state.

[0125] As an optional implementation, the method may further include:

[0126] Step 470: When the target seat is the front passenger seat, the driving status information indicates that the vehicle is in motion and the speed is less than the preset speed, the environmental dataset indicates that there are no obstacles in the conversion space between adjusting the position of the target seat and the rear seat, and the current usage status information indicates that there is no user sitting in the rear seat, the first alarm prompt is issued.

[0127] Step 480: If, within the preset time period of issuing the i-th alarm prompt, the control command for switching the passenger seat to the zero-gravity seat mode is received again, and when i is greater than or equal to the preset number of times, the passenger seat is controlled to respond to the control command. i takes values ​​from 1 to N, where N is an integer greater than 1. The preset number of times can be flexibly set according to the actual situation.

[0128] The preset vehicle speed can be flexibly set according to actual conditions, such as 30km / h. The preset duration can also be flexibly set according to actual conditions, such as 5 seconds.

[0129] As an example, if a user only wishes to adjust the front passenger seat to a zero-gravity seat, and assuming the vehicle is traveling at a low speed (i.e., below the preset speed), there are no obstacles in the transition space, and no one is sitting in the rear seats, and the user triggers the control command to enter the zero-gravity seat mode for the front passenger seat, a first warning will be issued via the speaker on the central control display. Within 5 seconds of the first warning, if the user says "Confirm entry into zero-gravity seat mode," a second warning will be issued via the central control display. If, within 5 seconds of the second warning, the user again says "Confirm entry into zero-gravity seat mode," the front passenger seat can be controlled to enter zero-gravity seat mode. For driving safety, the driver's seat is not allowed to enter zero-gravity seat mode while the vehicle is in motion.
