[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0045] As the market share of vehicles increases, driving and riding in vehicles have become common options for daily travel for every user. However, in practical applications, pregnant women and other special groups can only improve their safety through driver reminders or self-help methods.

[0046] To address the above problems, this application provides a vehicle control method. This method can be implemented using a vehicle processor; the processor can be at least one of the following: Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), Digital Signal Processor (DSP), Digital Signal Processing Device (DSPD), Programmable Logic Device (PLD), Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), Central Processing Unit (CPU), controller, Micro Controller Unit (MCU), or microprocessor.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of the vehicle control method provided in the embodiments of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0048] Step 101: Obtain collected data through the vehicle-associated data acquisition device.

[0049] In one embodiment, the data acquisition device may include an image acquisition device and a radar device, etc.

[0050] In one embodiment, the data acquisition device can be integrated into the vehicle or it can be independent of the vehicle but have a communication connection with the vehicle. In this case, the data acquisition device can receive data acquisition instructions sent by the vehicle's processor and perform data acquisition operations to obtain the acquired data.

[0051] In one implementation, the acquired data may include at least one frame of image data acquired by an image acquisition device, and may also include echo data acquired by a radar device.

[0052] In one implementation, when the vehicle is electrically powered, and the vehicle is remotely powered on but not switched to driving mode, data can be automatically acquired by a data acquisition device. For example, the vehicle can be switched to the powered-on state by triggering a Bluetooth key, digital key, or card key, and the data acquisition device can be controlled to perform data acquisition operations.

[0053] In one implementation, even when the vehicle is in motion, data can be acquired in real time via a data acquisition device.

[0054] Step 102: Determine the physical characteristics of the target object based on the collected data.

[0055] Among them, the target object is located outside the vehicle and the distance between the target object and the vehicle is less than or equal to the distance threshold.

[0056] In one implementation, the target object may include a stationary object or a moving object.

[0057] In one implementation, the number of objects in the target object can be at least one.

[0058] In one implementation, the distance threshold can be preset; for example, the distance threshold can be set according to the vehicle's configuration parameters during the vehicle production process, or it can be set by the vehicle's user.

[0059] In one implementation, body features may include the body shape features of the target object; for example, body features may include the height, weight, and other characteristics of the target object.

[0060] In one implementation, body features may include the posture features of the target object; for example, posture features may include the actions performed by the target object, the range of motion of the actions, and the movement trend of the target object.

[0061] In one embodiment, body features may include features of at least one part of the target object, such as features of the target object's arm.

[0062] In one implementation, the collected data can be calculated and analyzed by a feature recognition module to determine the physical characteristics of the target object.

[0063] Step 103: If the physical characteristics indicate that the target object is pregnant, control the operating status of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle.

[0064] Among these, work status is at least related to pregnancy status.

[0065] For example, if the physical characteristics indicate that the target object is not pregnant, then operations to control the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle may not be performed.

[0066] In one embodiment, at least one device and / or equipment may include at least one of a mechanical device, a data processing device, a data acquisition device, and a control device.

[0067] In one implementation, the operating state is at least associated with the pregnancy state and can represent the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment, capable of at least altering the safety level of the target object at the current moment. For example, the safety level can include the safety level of the target object during its approach to the vehicle, between the target object's entry into the vehicle's passenger compartment from its external space, and within the vehicle's passenger compartment. For example, the safety level can include the safety level of the target object itself, or the safety level of the fetus. The safety level of the target object itself can include the degree of negative impact on its pregnancy state, such as its posture and weight-bearing status, and can also include the degree of negative impact on the physical or psychological aspects of the pregnant target object, such as the intensity of the vehicle's lights, the volume of the vehicle's output sound, and its driving status. The safety level of the fetus can include the degree of negative impact on the fetus's activity or sensory development, such as the vehicle's vibration, its driving status, and the volume of the vehicle's output sound.

[0068] In one implementation, controlling the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle can be achieved in any of the following ways:

[0069] Based on the physical characteristics, determine the gestational age corresponding to the target object's gestational stage. Based on the gestational age, determine the target output volume of the vehicle's audio output device and control the audio output device to output audio data based on the target output volume, so as to reduce the probability of interference and damage to the fetal hearing system.

[0070] If the vehicle is in motion, controlling the vehicle's braking system to switch to a low-speed driving state or a stopped driving state can also control the distance between the vehicle and the target object to remain greater than a distance threshold, thereby improving the safety of the target object.

[0071] As can be seen from the above, in the vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment, after acquiring data through the data acquisition device associated with the vehicle, the body characteristics of the target object are determined based on the acquired data. This improves the accuracy of the body characteristics of the target object. Furthermore, since the target object is located outside the vehicle and the distance between the target object and the vehicle is less than or equal to a distance threshold, when the body characteristics indicate that the target object is in a pregnant state, the working state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle can be automatically and pre-controlled. This effectively improves the safety of the target object when the distance between the target object and the vehicle is less than or equal to the distance threshold. At the same time, by controlling the working state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with at least the pregnant state, the safety of the target object in a pregnant state can be improved through an automated, intelligent, and user-friendly vehicle control method.

[0072] Therefore, the vehicle control method provided in this application, by adjusting the working state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle, performs pre-emptive, automated, and targeted adjustments to the vehicle before a special group of people in a pregnant state enters the vehicle's passenger compartment. This can improve the travel safety of such special groups and reduce the travel risks caused by their inability to implement self-protection measures.

[0073] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, if the physical characteristics indicate that the target object is not in a pregnant state, the working state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle can still be controlled. For example, when the vehicle is powered on and the target object is determined to be the vehicle user by the image captured by the vehicle's image acquisition device, the vehicle can be controlled to switch to the welcome mode, and the device and / or equipment associated with the welcome mode can be controlled.

[0074] For example, the devices and / or equipment associated with the welcome mode may include vehicle lights and / or audio output devices; for instance, the vehicle lights may be dynamically illuminated, the audio output device may be controlled to output welcome audio, and the in-vehicle fragrance function may be activated; wherein, the vehicle lights may include position lights, daytime running lights, turn signals, brake lights, projection lights, light strips, and front hood welcome lights, etc., and the audio output device may output a preset welcome audio, or may automatically play music or news.

[0075] For example, if the vehicle is in welcome mode, the vehicle's processor can determine the mental state of the target object based on the image data collected by the image acquisition device, and adjust the status parameters of the vehicle's lights and / or audio output devices accordingly based on the target object's mental state; for example, when the target object is in a state of morning drowsiness, fatigue, or exhaustion, the vehicle's lights can be controlled to output soft light, and the audio output devices can output soothing music.

[0076] For example, if the vehicle is in welcome mode, it can determine whether the target object is carrying a large item based on the image data collected by the image acquisition device. If the target object is carrying a large item, the vehicle's trunk can be automatically opened. If the space where the vehicle is located is small, the vehicle can automatically move to a position where the target object can place a large item and automatically open the trunk for the target user to place the large item.

[0077] For example, the opening time of the welcoming mode can be set according to the time period preset by the user or according to the user's schedule.

[0078] For example, if the target object is not the vehicle user, the vehicle can be controlled to switch to sentry mode. When the target object is detected to be approaching the vehicle, data is collected through the data acquisition device. When the target object pulls the door handle or bumps into the vehicle, the facial image of the target object is collected and saved. At the same time, a warning prompt, SMS prompt or application alarm is sent to the vehicle user.

[0079] Based on the foregoing embodiments, the vehicle control method provided in this application may further include, before controlling the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle, the following steps: Figure 2 The process is shown below. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of determining the degree of difference provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0080] Step 201: Obtain target features.

[0081] In one implementation, the target features may include the clothing characteristics that a pregnant object should possess, obtained by the vehicle from the target storage space; for example, the target storage space may include the vehicle's storage space, or it may include the storage space of other devices that have established a communication connection with the vehicle, wherein the other devices may include cloud devices.

[0082] In one implementation, the target features may include the degree of safety for a pregnant woman, the characteristics of clothing and / or shoes and bags that are greater than a safety threshold; for example, the target features may include flat shoes, loose clothing, and backpacks with a volume smaller than a volume threshold.

[0083] Step 202: Obtain the clothing features of the target object.

[0084] In one embodiment, the clothing characteristics of the target object may include the characteristics of the clothes, shoes, and backpack currently worn by the target object. For example, the aforementioned characteristics may include the looseness of the clothes currently worn by the target object, the heel height of the shoes, the tightness of the shoelaces, and the size of the backpack.

[0085] In one implementation, feature recognition can be performed on the collected data to obtain the clothing characteristics of the target object.

[0086] Step 203: If the target features do not match the clothing features, determine the degree of difference between the target features and the clothing features.

[0087] For example, if the target feature matches the clothing feature, it is not necessary to perform the operation of determining the degree of difference between the target feature and the clothing feature.

[0088] In one implementation, the types of features included in the target features and clothing features can each be at least one.

[0089] In one implementation, the m-th feature in the target feature can be compared with the m-th feature in the clothing feature to obtain the m-th comparison result. Then, the features contained in the target feature and the clothing feature are traversed in the manner described above to determine whether the target feature and the clothing feature match. Here, m is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to M; M is the number of features contained in the target feature and the clothing feature respectively, and M can be an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0090] In one implementation, the degree of difference may include the features contained in the target features and the number of features that do not match the features contained in the clothing features.

[0091] In one implementation, the degree of difference may include features contained in the target features and the level of difference between the features contained in the clothing features.

[0092] In one implementation, the degree of difference can be determined in any of the following ways:

[0093] The degree of difference is determined by the number of features contained in the target features represented by the first comparison result to the Mth comparison result and the number of features that do not match the features contained in the clothing features.

[0094] The difference level is determined by identifying the features contained in the target features represented by the first comparison result to the Mth comparison result, and the level of mismatch between the features contained in the clothing features.

[0095] As can be seen from the above, in the vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment, after obtaining the target state and the clothing features of the target object, if the target features and clothing features do not match, the degree of difference between the target features and clothing features is determined. In this way, the degree of difference can comprehensively and accurately characterize the actual difference between the target state and the clothing state of the target object.

[0096] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in the vehicle control method provided in this application, at least one device and / or equipment includes an audio output device.

[0097] In one embodiment, since the target object is located outside the vehicle, the audio output device may include an external audio output device of the vehicle; for example, the external audio output device may include devices such as horns and loudspeakers, which are not limited in this application embodiment.

[0098] Accordingly, controlling the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle can be achieved in the following ways:

[0099] The first prompt message is determined based on the degree of difference; the audio output device is controlled to output the first prompt message to prompt the target to adjust their clothing so that the adjusted clothing matches the pregnant state.

[0100] In one implementation, the first prompt information may include voice data containing varying degrees of difference.

[0101] In one implementation, the target characteristics that the target object should possess can be determined based on the pregnancy status. For example, the target characteristics can be determined based on the pregnancy status, including: flat shoes, shoelaces being secure, etc.

[0102] In one implementation, matching the adjusted clothing of the target object with the pregnancy status can include matching the adjusted clothing of the target object with the target features corresponding to the pregnancy status. For example, when the target object has not adjusted its clothing or during the process of adjusting its clothing, the clothing features of the target object can be continuously acquired, and the degree of matching between the clothing features and the target features can be compared in real time. If the two do not match, the first prompt information is continuously output. If the two match, the output of the first prompt information can be stopped, thereby making the adjusted clothing of the target object match the target features corresponding to the pregnancy status.

[0103] In one implementation, the first prompt message can be determined in the following way:

[0104] The difference data contained in the degree of difference is identified and converted to obtain voice data, and the above voice data is determined as the first prompt information.

[0105] In one implementation, the vehicle can determine a playback volume that affects the target object to a degree greater than a threshold, and control the audio output device to output a first prompt message at the aforementioned playback volume, thereby increasing the probability that the target object notices the first prompt message. For example, if the target object's shoelaces are loose, or the target object is wearing high heels or slippers, the first prompt message could be: Please note that your shoelaces are currently loose, or please change your shoes to flat shoes, etc.

[0106] As can be seen from the above, in the vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment, after determining the first prompt information based on the degree of difference, the audio output device is controlled to output the first prompt information, thereby providing a real-time and intuitive prompting method for the target object; furthermore, since the first prompt information is determined based on the degree of difference, the targeting and accuracy of the reminder to the target object can be improved; at the same time, controlling the audio output device to output the first prompt information makes the target object's adjusted clothing match the pregnancy status, realizing continuous tracking and detection of the target object's clothing adjustment process, thereby improving the prompting effect on the target object and reducing the safety risks caused by the target object due to inappropriate clothing.

[0107] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in the vehicle control method provided in this application, at least one device and / or equipment includes an external display device for the vehicle.

[0108] In one embodiment, the external display device may include a display device integrated externally to the vehicle body or a standalone display device that has a communication connection with the vehicle's processor.

[0109] In one embodiment, the external display device may include multiple display units, wherein the display units may include pixel units or light flashing units, and the embodiments of this application are not limited thereto.

[0110] In one embodiment, the external display device may include the vehicle's rear ambient lighting.

[0111] Accordingly, controlling the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle can be achieved in the following ways:

[0112] A second notification message is determined based on the pregnancy status; the external display device is controlled to display the second notification message to indicate that the target is pregnant.

[0113] In one implementation, the second notification information may include text information, image data, or video data used to notify the target object that it is pregnant.

[0114] In one implementation, determining the second notification information based on pregnancy status can be achieved in the following way:

[0115] Determine the number of objects contained in the target object, and then determine the second prompt information as: text data indicating that the target object is in a pregnancy state based on the number of objects and the pregnancy status.

[0116] Determine the relative positional relationship between the target object and the vehicle, and then, based on the aforementioned relative positional relationship and the pregnancy status, determine the second prompt information as: There is a target object in a pregnancy state outside or inside the vehicle.

[0117] In one embodiment, displaying the second prompt information via an external display device can be achieved in any of the following ways:

[0118] Obtain the font size of the second prompt message and display the second prompt message in the display area of ​​the external display device according to the font size.

[0119] The system obtains the area size and resolution of the display area of ​​the external display device, adjusts the display parameters of the second prompt information based on the area size and resolution, and then controls the external display device to display the second prompt information based on the display parameters, so as to improve the completeness and clarity of the second prompt information display.

[0120] In one implementation, the second notification information can be used to notify the vehicle's driver, passengers, or other objects; wherein, other objects may include at least one of pedestrians in the vehicle's environment, drivers of other vehicles, and traffic controllers.

[0121] As can be seen from the above, in the vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment, the second prompt information is determined based on the pregnancy status, so that the second prompt information can completely include the actual status of the target object; and, controlling the external display device to display the second prompt information can realize real-time and accurate prompts for vehicle passengers and other objects in the vehicle's environment, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle and other objects relative to the target object.

[0122] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in the vehicle control method provided in this application, at least one device and / or equipment includes the vehicle's driver's seat and steering wheel.

[0123] Accordingly, the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle can be controlled in the following ways:

[0124] Adjust the settings of the driver's seat and steering wheel based on body posture characteristics.

[0125] In one implementation, when the target is determined to be the driver of the vehicle, the configuration of the driver's seat and steering wheel can be adjusted.

[0126] In one embodiment, the driver's seat setting method may include setting at least one of the following: driver's seat height, driver's seat backrest tilt, and whether the driver's seat ventilation and / or seat massage are turned on.

[0127] In one embodiment, the steering wheel can be configured by setting at least one of the following: steering wheel height, tilt, rotational damping, and tactile temperature.

[0128] In one implementation, adjusting the driver's seat and steering wheel settings based on body posture characteristics can be achieved in the following way:

[0129] Adjust the relative distance between the driver's seat and the steering wheel based on the height data in the body characteristics.

[0130] Based on abdominal circumference data from body shape characteristics, the relative position between the driver's seat and the steering wheel is adjusted.

[0131] As can be seen from the above, in the vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment, the setting of the driver's seat and steering wheel is adjusted based on body characteristics. In this way, not only is the targeted setting of the driver's seat and steering wheel achieved, but also, when the target object is the driver of the vehicle, the above adjustment operation can improve the comfort and safety of the target object in the process of driving the vehicle.

[0132] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in the vehicle control method provided in this application, at least one device and / or equipment includes an air conditioning device; the air conditioning device includes at least an air conditioning device, an air supply device, and an air purification device.

[0133] In one embodiment, the air supply device may include an air outlet located at at least one position in the vehicle, an air direction adjustment device associated with the air outlet, and an air outlet switch device.

[0134] In one embodiment, the air purification device can achieve functions such as purifying solid particulate matter, removing odors, and dehumidifying the air.

[0135] Accordingly, controlling the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle can be achieved in the following ways:

[0136] Adjust the target temperature of the air conditioning unit, and / or adjust the air supply direction and air volume of the air supply unit, and / or adjust the target purification quality of the air purification unit.

[0137] In one implementation, adjusting the target temperature of the air conditioning unit, and / or adjusting the air supply direction and air volume of the air supply unit, and / or adjusting the target purification quality of the air purification unit, can be performed when the target object is determined to be the driver or user of the vehicle.

[0138] In one implementation, the target temperature can be set according to at least one of the weather conditions, season, month, time of day, and lighting conditions at the location of the vehicle. For example, when the vehicle is exposed to sunlight at noon in summer, the target temperature can be less than or equal to 26 degrees Celsius.

[0139] In one implementation, the air delivery direction and air volume can be determined based on a preset vehicle air delivery mode and the target seat where the target object is sitting. For example, the air delivery direction of the air delivery device around the target seat can be adjusted to a direct blowing mode, and the air volume can be adjusted to the maximum air volume.

[0140] In one implementation, the target purification quality may include air quality that has less than a threshold degree of impact on the health status of the target object.

[0141] As can be seen from the above, in the vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment, by adjusting the target temperature of the air conditioning device, and / or adjusting the air supply direction and air volume of the air supply device, and / or adjusting the target purification quality of the air purification device, it is possible to achieve comprehensive and precise management and control of the air inside the vehicle compartment, thereby improving the comfort of the target passenger.

[0142] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in the vehicle control method provided in this application, at least one device and / or equipment includes a vehicle fragrance device.

[0143] Accordingly, controlling the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle can be achieved in the following ways:

[0144] Switch the fragrance device to the disabled state to reduce the probability of the target object triggering the fragrance device.

[0145] In one implementation, controlling the fragrance device to switch to a disabled state can be an operation performed when the target is determined to be the driver or user of the vehicle.

[0146] In one implementation, the fragrance device can be switched to a disabled state during the time when the target is riding in or driving a vehicle.

[0147] Since the chemical components released by the vehicle's fragrance device may pose a threat to the health of the pregnant mother and fetus, the vehicle control method provided in this application can reduce the probability of the target object triggering the fragrance device by switching the fragrance device to a prohibited state. This can reduce the negative impact on the target object's health caused by accidental contact with the fragrance device while riding or driving.

[0148] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in the vehicle control method provided in this application, at least one device and / or equipment includes a data output device.

[0149] In one embodiment, the data output device may include an audio output device and / or a video output device.

[0150] Accordingly, controlling the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle can also be achieved in the following ways:

[0151] During the driving process of the target object, if the vehicle's driving status switches to a specified state, the target object's status information is collected; if the status information indicates that at least one physiological indicator of the target object is greater than or equal to the target threshold, the control data output device outputs a third prompt message.

[0152] The third prompt includes information that at least one physiological indicator is greater than or equal to the target threshold; the target threshold is at least related to the pregnancy status.

[0153] For example, if the vehicle's driving state has not switched to the specified state, the state information of the target object may not be collected.

[0154] For example, if the status information indicates that the physiological indicators of the target object are less than the target threshold, then the data output device may not be controlled to output a third prompt message.

[0155] In one implementation, if it is determined that the target is in late pregnancy, the vehicle can directly output a prompt message indicating that the target is not suitable for driving the vehicle; for example, it can be determined whether the target is in late pregnancy based on abdominal circumference characteristics included in body features, or it can be determined based on the pregnancy time pre-input by the vehicle user.

[0156] In one implementation, when the distance between the target object and the vehicle is greater than a first threshold, the physical characteristics can be roughly determined by collecting data; when the distance between the target object and the vehicle is less than a second threshold, the physical characteristics can be more refined by collecting data, and the target object can be determined to be in late pregnancy based on the refined physical characteristics; wherein, the first threshold can be greater than the second threshold, and the first threshold can be less than or equal to the distance threshold.

[0157] In one implementation, the specified state may include at least one of the following: the vehicle's speed is greater than the target speed, the vehicle's turning angle is greater than the target angle, and the vehicle's bumpiness is greater than the target level.

[0158] In one implementation, the status information may include at least one of the target object's facial expression status, movement intensity status, body temperature change status, heart rate change status, blood pressure change status, and blood oxygen change status.

[0159] In one implementation, the status information may also include the status of the fetus, such as the fetal movement status.

[0160] In one implementation, the target threshold may vary depending on the stage of pregnancy. For example, the target threshold for early pregnancy may be different from that for late pregnancy.

[0161] In one embodiment, at least one physiological indicator may include physiological indicators of the target object itself and / or the fetus; wherein, the physiological indicators of the target object itself may include indicators such as the target object's blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate, and the physiological indicators of the fetus may include indicators such as the fetal movement frequency and the fetal heart rate.

[0162] In one embodiment, the vehicle can collect the aforementioned status information through a collection device with which it has established a communication connection; for example, the collection device may include an image acquisition device integrated in the vehicle, and may also include a smart device worn by the target object; for example, the smart device may include a smart bracelet, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit it.

[0163] In one implementation, a third prompt message can be output in the form of voice broadcast or video to prompt the target object that at least one physiological indicator is greater than or equal to a target threshold, thereby enabling the target object to adjust its driving state and / or emotional state to reduce the negative impact on at least one physiological indicator.

[0164] In one implementation, the third notification information may also include information on controlling the vehicle's driving status or changing the driving mode.

[0165] As can be seen from the above, the vehicle control method provided in this application, during the process of the target object driving the vehicle, if the vehicle's driving state switches to a specified state, collects the target object's state information, thereby achieving strict control over the collection of the target object's state information during the target object's driving process; furthermore, collecting the target object's state information when the vehicle switches to a specified state also enables real-time tracking of the target object's driving state, thereby mitigating the negative impact of the specified state on the target object's safety level; simultaneously, if the state information indicates that at least one physiological indicator of the target object is greater than or equal to a target threshold, the control data output device outputs a third prompt message to indicate that at least one physiological indicator of the target object is greater than or equal to the target threshold, thereby achieving intuitive and real-time reminders of the target object's physiological indicators; on the other hand, since the target threshold is associated with the pregnancy state, targeted monitoring and prompts of at least one physiological indicator of the target object can be achieved, further improving the target object's vehicle driving safety level.

[0166] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application also provides a vehicle control device. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle control device provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the device may include:

[0176] Module 302 is used to determine the second prompt information based on the pregnancy status;

[0184] In some embodiments, at least one device and / or apparatus includes a data output device;

[0185] The control device 303 is used to collect the target's status information when the vehicle's driving state switches to a specified state during the target's driving process; if the status information indicates that at least one physiological indicator of the target is greater than or equal to a target threshold, the control data output device outputs a third prompt message; wherein the third prompt message includes information that at least one physiological indicator is greater than or equal to the target threshold; the target threshold is at least related to the pregnancy status.

[0186] As can be seen from the above, the vehicle control device provided in this application, after acquiring data through a data acquisition device associated with the vehicle, determines the body characteristics of the target object based on the acquired data, thereby improving the accuracy of the body characteristics of the target object. Furthermore, since the target object is located outside the vehicle and the distance between the target object and the vehicle is less than or equal to a distance threshold, when the body characteristics indicate that the target object is in a pregnancy state, the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle can be automatically and pre-controlled, thereby effectively improving the safety level of the target object when the distance between the target object and the vehicle is less than or equal to the distance threshold. At the same time, by controlling the operating state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with at least the pregnancy state, the safety level of the target object in the pregnancy state can be improved through an automated, intelligent, and user-friendly vehicle control method.

[0187] Therefore, the vehicle control device provided in this application, by adjusting the working state of at least one device and / or equipment associated with the vehicle, performs pre-emptive, automated, and targeted adjustments to the vehicle before a pregnant woman enters the vehicle's passenger compartment. This can improve the travel safety of such women and reduce the travel risks caused by their inability to implement self-protection measures.
