Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of in-vehicle air purification technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium for purifying in-vehicle air. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of social productivity, more and more people, after solving their basic needs for food and clothing, are beginning to focus on other aspects of fulfillment. Keeping pets is a very common form of consumption focused on emotional well-being. However, most warm-blooded animals like dogs and cats are covered in fur, and long-haired pets shed a lot. They also sometimes carry bacteria and unpleasant odors, making cleaning and air purification essential. As cars become increasingly common in households, many pet-owning families take their pets with them on trips. However, when pets are in the car, their shedding or other factors can negatively impact the air quality inside the vehicle.

[0003] Current in-car air purification methods typically involve passengers manually adjusting the air purifier to improve air quality. However, this method results in poor air quality if passengers forget to turn on the air purifier or do not turn it on promptly.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies have the problem that manually adjusting the air purifier after a pet enters the car can prevent the air inside the car from being purified in a timely manner. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium for purifying in-vehicle air, in order to solve the problem in the prior art where manually adjusting the air purifier after a pet enters the vehicle results in the inability to purify the in-vehicle air in a timely manner.

[0006] A first aspect of this application provides a method for purifying in-vehicle air, comprising:

[0007] If a pet is detected inside the vehicle, the air purifier in the vehicle is adjusted to the first preset setting.

[0008] The concentration of pet hair in the air inside the vehicle was obtained;

[0009] When the concentration of pet hair is greater than a first preset concentration, the air purifier is adjusted to a second preset level; wherein the purification power corresponding to the second preset level is greater than the purification power corresponding to the first preset level.

[0010] A second aspect of this application provides an in-vehicle air purification device, comprising:

[0011] The first adjustment module is used to control the air purifier of the vehicle to adjust to a first preset level when a pet is detected in the vehicle.

[0012] A concentration acquisition module is used to acquire the concentration of pet hair in the air inside the vehicle.

[0013] The second adjustment module is used to control the air purifier to adjust to a second preset level when the concentration of pet hair is greater than the first preset concentration; wherein the purification intensity corresponding to the second preset level is greater than the purification intensity corresponding to the first preset level.

[0014] A third aspect of this application provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the above-described method.

[0015] A fourth aspect of this application provides a readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the above-described method.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application include at least the following:

[0017] When a pet is detected inside the vehicle, the system controls the vehicle's air purifier, adjusting it to the first preset level. This automatically purifies the air inside the vehicle when a pet is present, effectively removing pet hair and other debris. Furthermore, by acquiring information on the concentration of pet hair in the air, when the detected concentration exceeds the first preset level, the system controls the air purifier to increase its setting to the second preset level. This ensures that the air purifier's purification power increases when the pet hair concentration reaches a certain level, effectively cleaning the air without requiring manual operation or adjustment by the driver or passengers. This timely purification of the vehicle's air quality solves the problem in existing technologies where manual adjustment of the air purifier after a pet enters the vehicle results in insufficient air purification.

[0024] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of this application with unnecessary detail.

It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0026] Furthermore, it should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0027] The method and apparatus for purifying in-vehicle air in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle in an embodiment of this application. The vehicle may include a sound sensor 101, a camera 102, an optical sensor 103, a cabin domain controller 104, an air conditioning controller 105, an air conditioner 106, and an air purifier 107.

[0029] The sound sensor 101 can be installed in the cabin area. The sound sensor 101 can be used to identify sounds inside the vehicle, and by analyzing the frequency and pattern of the sound, identify whether the sound is made by a pet, thereby identifying whether there is a pet in the vehicle. In addition, it can also identify the type of pet, whether it is a non-shedding or a shedding breed.

[0030] The camera 102 can be installed in the cabin area. The camera 102 can capture image information inside the vehicle and analyze the pet's shape, size, and movement trajectory through the image information to identify the pet's location and determine the pet's activity area in the cabin.

[0031] The optical sensor 103 can also be installed in the cabin area to detect the concentration of pet hair in the air. Specifically, in this embodiment, the optical sensor 103 can emit an infrared beam. When the infrared beam passes through airborne objects, such as pet hair, the light is affected by scattering, projection, and reflection, thereby generating corresponding changes in light, i.e., generating a light signal. The optical sensor receives the light signal, measures the intensity, direction, and other characteristics of the light signal, and determines the concentration of pet hair in the air inside the vehicle through a pre-set concentration detection model. In addition, the optical sensor 103 can also transmit the detection results to a controller or display so that the controller can perform corresponding operations based on the detection results and notify the driver and passengers of the measured hair concentration.

[0032] The cockpit domain controller 104 is also called the intelligent cockpit domain controller. The cockpit domain controller 104 is connected to the sound sensor 101, the camera 102, and the optical sensor 103. The sound sensor 101, the camera 102, and the optical sensor 103 can transmit the information they acquire to the cockpit domain controller 104, and the cockpit domain controller 104 can perform the corresponding air purification operations.

[0033] The air conditioning controller 105 is connected to the cabin domain controller 104 via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The cabin domain controller can send control signals to the air conditioning controller 105 via the CAN bus to control the air conditioner 106 to turn on and off and the direction of the air outlet, and to control the speed of the air purifier 107 via the air conditioning controller 105.

[0034] Air purifier 107 can be a negative ion air purifier. It combines some PM2.5 or other pollutants in the air inside the vehicle with negative oxygen ions to form large particles that settle down, making them easier to be absorbed by the air filter. This improves the air quality inside the vehicle by filtering out dust, odors, pollutants, etc.

[0035] It should be noted that the specific types, quantities and combinations of the sound sensor 101, camera 102, optical sensor 103, cabin domain controller 104, air conditioning controller 105, air conditioner 105 and air purifier 107 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of an in-vehicle air purification method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0037] Step 201: If a pet is detected inside the vehicle, adjust the vehicle's air purifier to the first preset setting.

[0038] Air purifiers can filter out dust, odors, pollutants, and other contaminants from the air through filtration or adsorption. Specifically, air purifiers can be negative ion air purifiers, which allow some PM2.5 or other pollutants in the air inside the vehicle to combine with negative oxygen ions to form large particles that settle and are more easily absorbed by the air filter. In addition, negative oxygen ions can also destroy the proteins on the surface of some bacteria, thus playing a bactericidal role.

[0039] The number of air purifiers can be set according to actual needs; there can be one or more. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0040] The first preset setting can be set according to actual needs, such as the lowest setting of the air purifier, and there are no restrictions here.

[0041] Pets can include animals such as cats and dogs.

[0042] When the air purifier in the vehicle is adjusted to the first preset level, a first control signal can be sent to the air conditioning controller via the CAN bus. This first control signal is used to control the air purifier to adjust to the first preset level, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment process of the air purifier.

[0043] When a pet is detected inside the vehicle, the controller can activate the vehicle's air purifier and adjust it to the first preset setting. This allows the air purifier to clean and purify the air inside the vehicle, effectively removing pet hair, odors, and other pollutants, thus improving air quality.

[0044] Step 202: Obtain the concentration of pet hair in the air inside the vehicle.

[0045] When pets are inside a vehicle, pet hair can drift into the air and affect the air quality inside the car. Air quality is related to the concentration of pet hair in the air; the higher the concentration of pet hair, the worse the air quality.

[0046] Since different settings correspond to different purification levels, if the concentration of pet hair is too high and the air purifier is set to the first preset setting, the cleaning may not be thorough. Therefore, this embodiment requires adjusting the air purifier setting according to the concentration of pet hair in the air inside the vehicle to ensure the air quality inside the vehicle.

[0047] By measuring the concentration of pet hair in the air inside the vehicle, it becomes possible to determine whether the air purifier needs to be upgraded based on the concentration of pet hair.

[0048] Step 203: When the concentration of pet hair is greater than the first preset concentration, adjust the air purifier to the second preset level.

[0049] The second preset setting has a higher purification level than the first preset setting.

[0050] The first preset concentration can be set according to user needs. For example, if the user is more sensitive to hair, the value of the first preset concentration can be smaller.

[0051] The second preset level can be set according to specific circumstances, but it must meet the requirement that the purification power of the second preset level is greater than that of the first preset level. For example, assuming that the air purifier's level is positively correlated with the purification power, then the second preset level is higher than the first preset level; if the air purifier's level is negatively correlated with the purification power, then the second preset level is lower than the first preset level.

[0052] When the air purifier is adjusted to the second preset level, a second control signal can be sent to the air conditioner controller via the CAN bus. This second control signal is used to control the air purifier to adjust to the second preset level, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment process of the air purifier.

[0053] In this embodiment, when a pet is detected inside the vehicle, the air purifier is adjusted to a first preset level. When the concentration of pet hair increases to the first preset level, the cleaning power of the first preset level may no longer be sufficient. At this point, the air purifier is adjusted to a second preset level, which enhances its cleaning power and allows it to continue cleaning pet hair, bacteria, odors, etc., from the air. This achieves automatic air purification when there is a pet in the car, and increases the purification power when the air quality deteriorates due to the concentration of pet hair. This provides a layered purification of the air quality inside the car, solving the problem in the prior art where manually adjusting the air purifier when a pet enters the car results in insufficient air purification.

[0054] In some embodiments, detecting a pet inside the vehicle may include at least one of the following:

[0055] Based on the sound information detected by the vehicle's in-vehicle sound sensors, determine whether there is a pet inside the vehicle;

[0056] Based on images captured by the vehicle's in-vehicle camera, it can be determined whether a pet is inside the vehicle.

[0057] Specifically, since pets typically make noises, the presence of a pet inside the vehicle can be determined by using sound sensors to capture audio information from inside the vehicle. Additionally, cameras located inside the vehicle can capture images of the interior environment, and the resulting images can be used to analyze whether a pet is present inside.

[0058] This method determines whether there is a pet inside the vehicle by using at least one of the audio and visual information, ensuring the accuracy of the recognition results.

[0059] In some embodiments, obtaining the concentration of pet hair in the air inside a vehicle may include determining the concentration of pet hair in the air inside the vehicle by means of light signals detected by optical sensors installed inside the vehicle.

[0060] Optical sensors can be installed in the cabin area of ​​a car, and the number of optical sensors can be multiple. Of course, this embodiment does not limit the number of optical sensors.

[0061] Optical sensors emit infrared beams, which interact with airborne particles, specifically pet hair, to generate light signals. The optical sensors receive these signals and measure their intensity, direction, and other characteristics. Using a pre-set concentration detection model, they determine the concentration of pet hair in the car's interior air. Alternatively, the optical sensors can also determine the location of the hair based on the intensity and direction of the light signal.

[0062] This method uses optical sensors to determine the concentration of pet hair in the air inside a vehicle. The high precision of the optical sensors ensures the accuracy of the determined pet hair concentration.

[0063] Furthermore, in some embodiments, after the air purifier's speed is adjusted to the second preset speed, the method further includes:

[0064] If a pet is detected leaving the vehicle, the vehicle's air conditioning will be activated to clean up any pet hair.

[0065] Specifically, the controller can detect whether a pet has left the vehicle using sound information detected by a sound sensor and image information captured by an in-vehicle camera. After detecting that a pet has left the vehicle, since there may be pet hair remaining in the pet's activity area inside the vehicle, this embodiment can control the vehicle's air conditioning to clean up the pet hair to ensure the quality of the environment inside the vehicle.

[0066] The following explains how to control the vehicle's air conditioning to clean pet hair and the steps involved in doing so.

[0067] In some embodiments, controlling the vehicle's air conditioning to clean up pet hair includes:

[0068] The area where a pet can move around inside the vehicle is determined by using images captured by cameras inside the vehicle.

[0069] If the activity area includes areas prone to attracting pet hair, direct the air conditioner vents towards these areas and turn on the air conditioner to blow the pet hair towards the air purifier's air intake for cleaning.

[0070] Specifically, the camera inside the vehicle can capture images of the vehicle's interior environment, thereby obtaining image information. This embodiment can analyze this image information to determine the pet's appearance, size, and movement trajectory, thus identifying the pet's activity area.

[0071] The interior areas of a vehicle can include areas made of materials that easily attract lint and areas made of materials that do not easily attract lint. Areas made of materials that easily attract lint can include areas covered by materials such as leather, suede, and nylon, while areas made of materials that do not easily attract lint can include areas covered by materials such as metal, plastic, and glass.

[0072] When the pet's activity area includes areas prone to attracting pet hair, the controller can direct the air conditioning vents towards these areas and activate the air conditioning, thus directing pet hair towards the air purifier's intake, allowing the purifier to clean it up. It should be noted that the air purifier's intake can be positioned near each seat in the vehicle, such as on either side of the seats.

[0073] Specifically, to control the air conditioner vents to be directed towards areas prone to lint, and to control the air conditioner to start, a control command can be sent to the air conditioner controller. This control command is used to control the direction of the air conditioner vents and to control the start of the air conditioner.

[0074] It should be noted that this embodiment can also control the air conditioning setting to the highest fan speed, so that the air conditioning can more easily blow the pet hair remaining in the area that is prone to attracting lint towards the air purifier's air intake, thereby ensuring that the remaining pet hair in the vehicle is cleaned up and the air quality is maintained.

[0075] In this way, the pet's activity area is determined by the captured image information. Since areas prone to attracting pet hair are likely to have shed fur, the air conditioning is used to clean these areas after the pet gets out of the car, ensuring hygiene in these areas. During this process, the air purifier can remain on to continuously clean and maintain the air inside the vehicle. When the pet's activity area includes non-lint-attracting areas, due to the material of these areas, there is almost no pet hair residue, so cleaning of these areas is unnecessary, reducing energy consumption.

[0076] In some embodiments, before controlling the vehicle's air conditioning to clean pet hair, the system further includes:

[0077] Acquire sound information detected by the sound sensors inside the vehicle;

[0078] Based on the sound information, determine the pet's breed, including non-shedding or shedding breeds;

[0079] If the pet is a breed that sheds easily, proceed to the step of controlling the air conditioning to clean the pet's fur.

[0080] Specifically, the vehicle's sound sensors can be installed within the vehicle's cabin area to detect sound information within the vehicle. After determining the presence of a pet in the vehicle based on this sound information, the type of pet can be identified by analyzing the different vocalizations of different pet species, specifically their frequencies and patterns. Furthermore, pet species are categorized into non-shedding and shedding types. This embodiment can identify whether the pet in the vehicle is a non-shedding or shedding species based on sound information. It should be noted that if the pet species cannot be identified, the pet in the vehicle can be classified as a shedding species, thereby ensuring the environmental quality within the vehicle.

[0081] In this way, when the pet in the vehicle is a type that sheds easily, the controller can control the air conditioner to clean up the pet hair after the pet is detected to have left the vehicle, thus cleaning up any remaining pet hair and ensuring cleanliness inside the vehicle. In addition, when the pet in the vehicle is a type that does not shed, since there is almost no pet hair left inside the vehicle after the pet is detected to have left the vehicle, the air conditioner can be turned on to clean up the pet hair, thus saving energy.

[0082] In some embodiments, after controlling the air conditioner to clean pet hair, the method further includes:

[0083] The concentration of pet hair in the air is measured. If the concentration of pet hair is lower than or equal to the second preset concentration, the air purifier of the vehicle is adjusted to the third preset level. The purification power of the third preset level is lower than that of the first preset level. The second preset concentration is lower than the first preset concentration.

[0084] Specifically, the second pet hair concentration refers to the concentration of pet hair in the air inside the vehicle detected by an optical sensor after the pet leaves the vehicle and the air conditioning is used to clean the pet hair in the activity area.

[0085] The second preset concentration can be set according to the user's specific needs, and there are no major restrictions here. However, it must be ensured that the second preset concentration is lower than the first preset concentration. If the user has high requirements for the air quality inside the vehicle and needs to ensure that the environment inside the vehicle is clean enough, the value of the second preset concentration can be set lower, for example, it can be set to zero.

[0086] The third preset setting must meet the condition that its purification power is lower than that of the first preset setting. For example, the third preset setting can be zero. If the second preset concentration is zero, then the air purifier can be turned off when the concentration of pet hair is zero. As another example, if the first preset setting is a medium purification power, then the third preset setting can be a low purification power.

[0087] In addition, it should be noted that, under the condition that the gear level is positively correlated with the purification intensity, the third preset gear level is lower than the first preset gear level.

[0088] In this way, after the air conditioner cleans up the pet hair, if the concentration of the second pet hair is lower than the second preset concentration, the air purifier is adjusted to the third preset level. This saves energy consumption while ensuring the air quality inside the vehicle, thereby reducing unnecessary wear and tear on the vehicle.

[0089] Below, we will combine Figure 3 An embodiment of this application will be described below.

[0090] After the vehicle is started, pet identification is performed using at least one of the sound sensors and cameras to determine whether a pet is inside the vehicle.

[0091] If a pet is found in the vehicle, the pet's species can be determined, specifying whether it is a non-shedding or easily shedding type, and the vehicle's air purifier will be adjusted to the first preset level. If the pet is not present, no action will be taken.

[0092] When a pet is in the car, as the time spent inside increases, the pet may shed hair, raising the concentration of pet hair in the air. The system can detect if the concentration exceeds a first preset level. If the concentration exceeds this level, the air purifier's setting is adjusted to a second preset level, which offers a higher purification level than the first. Furthermore, images captured by a camera can record the pet's activity areas inside the car, including at least one of two types of materials: areas prone to attracting pet hair and areas less prone to attracting it.

[0093] After the pet leaves the vehicle, if the pet is a non-shedding breed, the air purifier will not be activated for cleaning. If the pet is a shedding breed, the air conditioning vents will be directed towards areas prone to pet hair, and the air conditioning will be activated to blow pet hair towards the air purifier's intake for cleaning, thus gradually reducing the concentration of pet hair in the air. When the concentration of pet hair in the air is lower than the second preset concentration, the vehicle's air purifier will be switched to the third preset level. The purification power of the third preset level is lower than that of the first preset level, thereby reducing the power consumption of the air conditioning purifier.

[0094] All of the above-mentioned optional technical solutions can be combined in any way to form the optional embodiments of this application, and will not be described in detail here.
