[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, vehicles have become an indispensable means of transportation. At the same time, with the rapid development of internet technology and the increasing demands of users, the number of in-vehicle applications installed on vehicle infotainment systems has also increased accordingly.

[0003] Currently, before importing applications into a vehicle infotainment system, the system needs to lay out the applications according to the preset screen size. This ensures that after the system is imported into the vehicle infotainment system corresponding to the preset screen size, the applications are compatible with the screen and displayed on the screen.

[0004] However, when the preset vehicle infotainment screen size is larger than the actual vehicle infotainment screen size, after the vehicle infotainment system is imported into the actual vehicle infotainment system, the vehicle infotainment applications are not compatible with the actual vehicle infotainment screen. The vehicle infotainment applications extend beyond the actual vehicle infotainment screen, causing the extended vehicle infotainment applications to be unable to be displayed on the actual vehicle infotainment screen, thus limiting the application of the vehicle infotainment system on the vehicle infotainment system.

[0035] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] As people's living standards continue to improve, vehicles have become an indispensable means of transportation. At the same time, with the rapid development of internet technology and the increasing demands of users, the number of in-vehicle applications installed on vehicle infotainment systems has also increased accordingly.

[0037] Currently, before importing applications into a vehicle infotainment system, the system needs to lay out the applications according to the preset screen size. This ensures that after the system is imported into the vehicle infotainment system corresponding to the preset screen size, the applications are compatible with the screen and displayed on the screen.

[0038] However, when the preset vehicle infotainment screen size is larger than the actual vehicle infotainment screen size, after the vehicle infotainment system is imported into the actual vehicle infotainment system, the vehicle infotainment applications are not compatible with the actual vehicle infotainment screen. The vehicle infotainment applications extend beyond the actual vehicle infotainment screen, causing the extended vehicle infotainment applications to be unable to be displayed on the actual vehicle infotainment screen, thus limiting the application of the vehicle infotainment system on the vehicle infotainment system.

[0039] To address the aforementioned issues, the inventors, after extensive research, have proposed the vehicle infotainment application layout method, device, vehicle, and storage medium provided in this application. The vehicle infotainment application layout method is applied to a 3D engine. By acquiring vehicle infotainment screen information, including the screen shape and size, and the number of vehicle infotainment applications, the method lays out the corresponding applications on the vehicle infotainment screen based on the screen information and the number of applications. This allows the applications to be displayed in 3D on the screen, achieving the layout of applications on the vehicle infotainment screen using a 3D engine based on the screen information and the number of applications. This ensures that the applications are compatible with different screen sizes and guarantees that the vehicle infotainment system can be used with vehicles of various screen sizes.

[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 This illustration shows an application scenario diagram of the vehicle-mounted application layout system provided in the embodiments of this application. It may include a vehicle 100, which may include a frame 110, a vehicle-mounted system 130, and a 3D engine 150, etc. The vehicle-mounted system 130 is mounted on the frame 110, and the frame 110 can provide mounting support for the vehicle-mounted system 130.

[0042] Among them, vehicle 100 can be any of the following: electric vehicle (e.g., electric car, electric vehicle, etc.), hybrid vehicle (e.g., hybrid electric vehicle (HEV)), fuel vehicle or gas vehicle, etc. The type of vehicle 100 is not limited here, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0043] Vehicle infotainment system 130 is short for in-vehicle infotainment product installed on vehicle frame 110. In terms of function, vehicle infotainment system 130 can realize information communication between people and vehicles, and between vehicles and the outside world (vehicle-to-vehicle communication).

[0044] The 3D engine 150 is installed in the vehicle's infotainment system 130 and interacts with it for data exchange. The 3D engine 150 is a collection of algorithms that abstract real-world objects into polygons or various curves, perform related calculations in a computer, and output the final image.

[0045] The 3D engine 150 can be any of the Unity 3D engine, Unreal 3D engine, Cocos 3D engine, or Kanzi 3D engine, etc. The type of 3D engine 150 is not limited here, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0046] Please see Figure 2 The document illustrates a flowchart of a vehicle infotainment application layout method according to an embodiment of this application. In specific embodiments, the vehicle infotainment application layout method can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The 3D engine 150 in the vehicle infotainment system shown below will be used as an example to illustrate the following discussion. Figure 2 The process shown is described in detail. The vehicle infotainment system application layout method may include the following steps S110 to S150.

[0047] Step S110: Obtain the vehicle infotainment system screen information.

[0048] In this embodiment, the 3D engine can acquire the vehicle infotainment system screen information. This screen information may include the screen shape and size. The screen shape can be any of the following: rectangle, square, circle, or ellipse. The screen size can be the rectangular size corresponding to a rectangle, the square size corresponding to a square, the circular size corresponding to a circle, or the elliptical size corresponding to an ellipse, etc. No limitation is imposed here; the specific dimensions can be set according to actual needs.

[0049] In some implementations, the vehicle infotainment system pre-stores the vehicle screen information. The 3D engine can send a first acquisition command to the vehicle infotainment system. The vehicle infotainment system receives and responds to the first acquisition command, reads the pre-stored vehicle screen information, and sends the vehicle screen information to the 3D engine. The 3D engine receives the vehicle screen information returned by the vehicle infotainment system.

[0050] In some implementations, the vehicle infotainment system may also include a camera, which is communicatively connected to the vehicle infotainment system and interacts with it for data exchange. The camera can be used to capture images of the vehicle infotainment screen.

[0051] The 3D engine can send a second acquisition command to the vehicle's infotainment system. The infotainment system receives and responds to the second acquisition command, and sends an image acquisition command to the camera. The camera receives and responds to the image acquisition command, acquires the image of the infotainment system screen, and sends the acquired image of the infotainment system screen back to the infotainment system. The infotainment system receives the image of the infotainment system screen returned by the camera, analyzes the image of the infotainment system screen, obtains the infotainment system screen information corresponding to the infotainment system screen, and sends the infotainment system screen information to the 3D engine. The 3D engine receives the infotainment system screen information returned by the infotainment system.

[0052] The camera can be any of the following: a white light camera, an infrared camera, or a laser camera. The type of camera is not limited here, and the specific settings can be made according to actual needs.

[0053] In some implementations, the in-vehicle application layout system may also include a client, which connects to the in-vehicle system via a network and interacts with the in-vehicle system via the network.

[0054] The 3D engine can send a third-party acquisition command to the vehicle's infotainment system. The infotainment system receives and responds to the command, generates corresponding prompts, and sends them to the client via the network. The client receives and responds to the prompts, prompting the user to input the corresponding infotainment screen information. When the client receives the user's input infotainment screen information, it sends the screen information back to the infotainment system via the network. The infotainment system receives and responds to the screen information, forwards it to the 3D engine, and then receives the screen information returned by the infotainment system.

[0055] The client can be a mobile client (e.g., mobile phone client, PDA client, Tablet PC client, laptop client, smartwatch client, smart bracelet client, etc.) or a fixed client (e.g., desktop computer client, smart panel client, etc.). The type of client is not limited here, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0056] The network can be any of the following: ZigBee network, Bluetooth (BT) network, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) network, Thread network, Long Range Radio (LoRa) network, Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN), infrared network, Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT), Controller Area Network (CAN), Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) network, Wide Area Network (WAN), Local Area Network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), or Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). The type of network is not limited here; it can be configured according to actual needs.

[0057] The prompt message can be any one of the following: sound prompt message, text prompt message, or light prompt message. There is no limitation on the type of prompt message here, and it can be set according to actual needs.

[0058] Step S130: Obtain the number of in-vehicle applications in the vehicle system.

[0059] In this embodiment of the application, the vehicle system is pre-installed with corresponding vehicle system applications. The 3D engine can send an application quantity acquisition command to the vehicle system. The vehicle system receives and responds to the quantity acquisition command, determines the corresponding number of vehicle system applications based on the vehicle system application installation information generated when the vehicle system applications are pre-installed, and sends the number of vehicle system applications to the 3D engine. The 3D engine receives the number of vehicle system applications returned by the vehicle system.

[0060] There may be one or more in-vehicle infotainment applications. These applications may include at least one of the following: in-vehicle navigation application, in-vehicle temperature control application, in-vehicle lighting control application, in-vehicle music playback application, in-vehicle seat adjustment application, in-vehicle driving control application, in-vehicle door control application, and in-vehicle door lock control application. No limitation is made here.

[0061] It should be noted that there is no specific order between steps S110 and S130. The 3D engine can obtain the number of vehicle applications after obtaining the vehicle screen information, or it can obtain the vehicle screen information after obtaining the number of vehicle applications. The 3D engine can also obtain both the vehicle screen information and the number of vehicle applications at the same time. This is not limited here.

[0062] Step S150: Based on the information on the vehicle screen and the number of vehicle applications, the corresponding vehicle applications are laid out on the vehicle screen, so that the vehicle applications are displayed in three dimensions through the vehicle screen.

[0063] In this embodiment, the 3D engine can lay out the corresponding in-vehicle applications on the in-vehicle screen according to the in-vehicle screen information and the number of in-vehicle applications, so that the in-vehicle applications can be displayed in 3D through the in-vehicle screen. This realizes the layout of in-vehicle applications on the in-vehicle screen based on the in-vehicle screen information and the number of in-vehicle applications, ensuring that the in-vehicle applications are adapted to the in-vehicle screen, and can ensure that the in-vehicle system can be applied to in-vehicle screens of different sizes.

[0064] Specifically, the vehicle screen information includes the shape and size of the vehicle screen. The 3D engine can construct a corresponding spatial volume based on the shape and size of the vehicle screen, and determine the screen layout position of the corresponding vehicle screen applications based on the spatial volume and the number of vehicle screen applications, and place the vehicle screen applications in the screen layout position.

[0065] In some implementations, the vehicle infotainment screen is rectangular in shape and size, and the spatial volume is a cuboid. The 3D engine can construct a corresponding cuboid based on the rectangle and its dimensions, and determine the corresponding spatial layout position of the cuboid application within the largest rectangular cross-section based on the maximum rectangular cross-sectional size and the number of vehicle applications. This cuboid spatial layout position is then mapped to the vehicle screen to obtain the screen layout position of the vehicle applications on the vehicle screen.

[0066] The vehicle-mounted infotainment system is evenly distributed along the boundary of the largest rectangular cross-section. The largest rectangular cross-section of the cuboid is an integer multiple of the rectangular cross-section size. For example, the largest rectangular cross-section size can be 1 times the rectangular cross-section size, 10 times the rectangular cross-section size, 15 times the rectangular cross-section size, etc., without limitation.

[0067] As an example, consider x in-vehicle applications. The in-vehicle screen is rectangular, with dimensions a1 (length) and b1 (width). The 3D engine can construct a corresponding cuboid based on length a1 and width b1, such that the maximum rectangular cross-section of the cuboid is an arbitrary integer m times the size of the rectangular in-vehicle screen. The perimeter of the maximum rectangular cross-section is L1 = 2n(a1 + b1). The x in-vehicle applications are evenly distributed along the boundary of the maximum rectangular cross-section. The first distance between two adjacent applications is L1 / x. Based on this first distance L1 / x, the cuboid spatial layout position of each application within the maximum rectangular cross-section is determined. Furthermore, according to a pre-defined mapping relationship between the cuboid space and the in-vehicle screen, the cuboid spatial layout position is mapped to the in-vehicle screen, resulting in the corresponding screen layout position of the in-vehicle application. Here, m is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0068] In some implementations, the vehicle infotainment screen is elliptical in shape and size, and the spatial volume is an ellipsoid. The 3D engine can construct the corresponding ellipsoid based on the ellipse and its size, and determine the spatial layout position of the ellipsoid for each application based on the maximum elliptical cross-sectional size and the number of applications. This ellipsoid spatial layout position is then mapped to the vehicle infotainment screen to obtain the screen layout position for each application.

[0069] The vehicle-mounted infotainment system is evenly distributed along the boundary of the largest elliptical cross-section. The largest elliptical cross-section of the ellipsoid is an integer multiple of the elliptical cross-section. For example, the largest elliptical cross-section can be 1 time the elliptical cross-section, 5 times the elliptical cross-section, 10 times the elliptical cross-section, etc., and there are no restrictions here.

[0070] As an example, consider x in-vehicle applications. The in-vehicle screen is elliptical in shape and size, with a major axis of 2a² and a minor axis of 2b². The 3D engine can construct a corresponding ellipsoid based on the major axis 2a² and minor axis 2b², such that the maximum elliptical cross-sectional dimension of the ellipsoid is any integer multiple of the elliptical dimension n. The perimeter of the maximum elliptical cross-section is L² = n[2πb² + 4(a² - b²)]. The x in-vehicle applications are evenly distributed on the boundary of the maximum elliptical cross-section. The second spacing between two adjacent in-vehicle applications is L² / x. Based on the second spacing L² / x, the spatial layout position of each in-vehicle application on the ellipsoid of the maximum elliptical cross-section is determined. Furthermore, based on a preset second mapping relationship between the ellipsoid space and the in-vehicle screen, the spatial layout position of the ellipsoid is mapped to the in-vehicle screen, resulting in the screen layout position of the corresponding in-vehicle application. Here, n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0071] In some implementations, the in-vehicle application includes multiple in-vehicle sub-applications. After the 3D engine lays out the corresponding in-vehicle applications on the in-vehicle screen according to the in-vehicle screen information and the number of in-vehicle applications, it can obtain the screen layout position of the in-vehicle application and lay out the multiple in-vehicle sub-applications on the screen layout position according to the screen information. This allows the multiple in-vehicle sub-applications to be displayed in 3D on the screen layout position via the in-vehicle screen. Users can call up the in-vehicle sub-applications by zooming in on the in-vehicle applications, which improves the user's control experience of operating the in-vehicle system.

[0072] In one application scenario, the 3D engine lays out the corresponding in-vehicle applications behind the screen based on the information on the in-vehicle screen and the number of in-vehicle applications. Users can then control the screen using any of the following methods: long press, two-finger control, or multi-finger control. The screen responds to the user's control and displays the in-vehicle applications in 3D.

[0073] The 3D display can include card / icon display, dual-screen expanded display, single-screen full-screen expanded display, and single-screen card expanded display, etc., and is not limited here.

[0074] As an example, the in-vehicle infotainment applications include in-vehicle application 1, in-vehicle application 2, in-vehicle application 3, in-vehicle application 4, in-vehicle application 5, in-vehicle application 6, and in-vehicle application 7. The in-vehicle screen is rectangular in shape, and the 3D display is a card / icon display, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0075] As an example, the in-vehicle infotainment applications include in-vehicle application 8 and in-vehicle application 9. The in-vehicle screen is rectangular in shape, and the 3D display is a dual-screen unfolded display, such as... Figure 4 As shown.

[0076] As an example, the in-vehicle infotainment application includes in-vehicle application 10. The in-vehicle screen is rectangular in shape, and the 3D display is a single-screen full-screen expanded display, such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0077] As an example, the in-vehicle infotainment system includes in-vehicle infotainment application 11, which includes in-vehicle infotainment sub-applications 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The in-vehicle infotainment screen is rectangular in shape, and the 3D display is a single-screen card unfolded display, such as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0078] The solution provided in this embodiment applies a vehicle infotainment application layout method to a 3D engine. By acquiring vehicle infotainment screen information, including the screen shape and size, and the number of vehicle infotainment applications, the method lays out the corresponding applications on the vehicle infotainment screen based on the screen information and the number of applications. This allows the applications to be displayed in 3D on the screen, thus enabling the vehicle infotainment system to be used on vehicles with different screen sizes.

[0079] Please see Figure 7 This illustrates a flowchart of a vehicle infotainment application layout method according to another embodiment of this application. In a specific embodiment, the vehicle infotainment application layout method can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The 3D engine 150 in the vehicle infotainment system shown below will be used as an example to illustrate the following discussion. Figure 7 The process shown is described in detail. The vehicle infotainment system application layout method may include the following steps S210 to S290.

[0080] Step S210: Obtain the vehicle's vehicle signal.

[0081] In this embodiment, since users have different needs for in-vehicle applications, they can add or remove in-vehicle applications. To ensure that the in-vehicle applications still interact with the screen after being added or removed, the 3D engine can send a signal acquisition command to the in-vehicle system. The in-vehicle system receives and responds to the signal acquisition command, sending its own in-vehicle signal to the 3D engine. The 3D engine then receives the in-vehicle signal returned by the in-vehicle system. The in-vehicle signal can be a current signal or a voltage signal.

[0082] In some implementations, the signal acquisition command is a current signal acquisition command, and the vehicle-mounted signal is a current signal. The 3D engine can send a current signal acquisition command to the vehicle-mounted system, which receives and responds to the current signal acquisition command, sending its current signal to the 3D engine. The 3D engine then receives the current signal returned by the vehicle-mounted system.

[0083] In some implementations, the signal acquisition command is a voltage signal acquisition command, and the vehicle-mounted signal is a voltage signal. The 3D engine can send a voltage signal acquisition command to the vehicle-mounted system, which receives and responds to the voltage signal acquisition command, sending its voltage signal to the 3D engine. The 3D engine then receives the voltage signal returned by the vehicle-mounted system.

[0084] Step S230: Determine whether the vehicle infotainment system is powered on based on the vehicle infotainment system signal.

[0085] In this embodiment, after acquiring the vehicle's infotainment system signal, the 3D engine can determine whether the infotainment system is powered on based on the signal. Specifically, after acquiring the vehicle's infotainment system signal, the 3D engine can match the signal with a preset signal to obtain the corresponding signal matching degree, and determine whether the infotainment system is powered on based on the signal matching degree.

[0086] When the signal matching degree is greater than or equal to the preset signal matching degree threshold, the vehicle system is determined to be in the powered-on state; when the signal matching degree is less than the preset signal matching degree threshold, the vehicle system is determined to be in the powered-off state.

[0087] The preset signal can be a preset current signal corresponding to the current signal, or a preset voltage signal corresponding to the voltage signal, etc., and is not limited here.

[0088] In some implementations, the vehicle signal is a current signal, the preset signal is a preset current signal corresponding to the current signal, and the signal matching degree is a first signal matching degree.

[0089] After obtaining the current signal from the vehicle's infotainment system, the 3D engine can match the current signal with a preset current signal to obtain the corresponding first signal matching degree, and determine whether the vehicle's infotainment system is powered on based on the first signal matching degree.

[0090] When the first signal matching degree is greater than or equal to the first preset signal matching degree threshold, the vehicle system is determined to be in the powered-on state; when the first signal matching degree is less than the first preset signal matching degree threshold, the vehicle system is determined to be in the powered-off state.

[0091] In some implementations, the vehicle signal is a voltage signal, the preset signal is a preset voltage signal corresponding to the voltage signal, and the signal matching degree is a second signal matching degree.

[0092] After obtaining the voltage signal from the vehicle's infotainment system, the 3D engine can match the voltage signal with a preset voltage signal to obtain the corresponding second signal matching degree, and determine whether the infotainment system is powered on based on the second signal matching degree.

[0093] When the second signal matching degree is greater than or equal to the second preset signal matching degree threshold, the vehicle system is determined to be in the powered-on state; when the second signal matching degree is less than the second preset signal matching degree threshold, the vehicle system is determined to be in the powered-off state.

[0094] Step S250: When it is determined from the vehicle's signal that the vehicle is powered on, obtain the vehicle's screen information.

[0095] Step S270: Obtain the number of in-vehicle applications in the vehicle system.

[0096] Step S290: Based on the information on the vehicle screen and the number of vehicle applications, the corresponding vehicle applications are laid out on the vehicle screen so that the vehicle applications are displayed in three dimensions through the vehicle screen.

[0097] In this embodiment, steps S250, S270 and S290 can be referred to the corresponding steps in the previous embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0098] The solution provided in this embodiment applies the vehicle infotainment system (VMS) application layout method to a 3D engine. By acquiring the VMS signal and determining whether the VMS is powered on, and when the VMS is powered on, the system acquires the VMS screen information and the number of VMS applications. Based on the VMS screen information and the number of VMS applications, the corresponding VMS applications are laid out on the VMS screen, enabling the VMS applications to be displayed in 3D on the VMS screen. This achieves the layout of VMS applications on the VMS screen using a 3D engine based on the VMS screen information and the number of VMS applications, ensuring that the VMS applications are compatible with the VMS screen and that the VMS system can be applied to VMS screens of different sizes.

[0099] Furthermore, when it is determined that the vehicle infotainment system is powered on, obtaining the vehicle infotainment system screen information can ensure that when the vehicle infotainment system starts up, the 3D engine can lay out the vehicle infotainment system applications on the vehicle infotainment screen in real time, so that the current vehicle infotainment system applications and the vehicle infotainment screen are optimally adapted, which can ensure that users get the best operating experience when operating the vehicle infotainment system.
