[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This application provides a method for removing condensate. Please refer to the following embodiments. Figure 1 The diagram illustrates the implementation environment of the method provided in this application embodiment. This implementation environment may include: a vehicle 11 and a vehicle control system 12.

[0029] The vehicle 11 is equipped with heating devices for its windows. For example, heating circuits are installed around the windows to heat them. The vehicle control system 12 acquires the temperature inside and outside the vehicle, as well as the light transmittance of the windows, and receives information from the driver's terminal to heat the windows of vehicle 11 to remove condensation. The vehicle control system 12 can store historical vehicle usage data of the driver and historical vehicle start times.

[0030] Optionally, the vehicle control system 12 can be a single server, a server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or a cloud computing service center. The vehicle 11 and the vehicle control system 12 establish a communication connection via a wired or wireless network.

[0031] Optionally, the implementation environment may also include server 13, which may be a single server, a server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or a cloud computing service center. Vehicle 11 and vehicle control system 12 establish communication connections with server 13 via wired or wireless networks.

[0032] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above-described vehicle 11 and vehicle control system 12 are merely examples. Other existing or future vehicles or vehicle control systems that are applicable to this application should also be included within the scope of protection of this application, and are hereby incorporated by reference.

[0033] Based on the above Figure 1 The implementation environment shown in this application provides a method for removing condensates, as described in the embodiments. Figure 2 As shown, taking the application of this method to a vehicle control system as an example, the method includes steps 201-205.

[0034] In step 201, based on the fact that the vehicle window meets the condensation conditions, the light transmittance of the window is obtained, and the information of the condensation on the window is determined according to the light transmittance of the window. The information of the condensation includes at least one of the thickness and state of the condensation.

[0035] Before obtaining the light transmittance of the vehicle window, it is necessary to determine whether the vehicle window meets the conditions for condensation, including: obtaining the external and internal temperatures of the vehicle; determining the temperature difference between the external and internal temperatures; and determining whether the window condition meets the conditions for condensation if the temperature difference reaches a temperature threshold.

[0036] For example, this application acquires the external and internal temperatures of the vehicle by installing temperature sensors on both the exterior and interior of the vehicle, and transmits the acquired external and internal temperatures to the vehicle control system. The vehicle control system is a comprehensive system that acquires environmental data from both the exterior and interior of the vehicle and controls various functions of the vehicle.

[0037] The vehicle control system calculates the temperature difference between the vehicle's exterior and interior based on the acquired external and internal temperatures. This temperature difference is compared to a pre-set temperature difference threshold. When the temperature difference reaches the threshold, it indicates that the vehicle's windows meet the conditions for condensation, meaning condensation appears on the windows. This application does not limit the temperature difference threshold; it determines it based on the lowest temperature difference between the vehicle's exterior and interior when condensation actually appears on the windows.

[0038] When the vehicle window meets the conditions for condensation, the light transmittance of the window is detected by a light transmittance detection device installed on the window. This application does not limit the light transmittance detection device installed on the window. For example, the light transmittance detection device can be a laser device or an infrared imaging device.

[0039] The process of acquiring the light transmittance of the vehicle window and determining condensation information on the window based on the light transmittance includes: when the vehicle window meets the conditions for condensation, the vehicle control system acquires the current light transmittance of the window from a light transmittance detection device installed on the window; based on the current light transmittance, and according to the correspondence between the pre-set light transmittance of the window and condensation information on the window, the system acquires the current condensation information of the window. The condensation information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: condensation thickness and state. For example, the state of the condensation includes fog, frost, snow, and ice.

[0040] This application does not limit the correspondence between the light transmittance of the vehicle window and the information on condensation on the window. The light transmittance can be determined based on the different light transmittance of the window corresponding to different condensation states and thicknesses in actual situations. For example, as the condensation state changes from fog to frost, then to snow, and finally to ice, the corresponding light transmittance gradually decreases. In a given condensation state, as the condensation thickness increases, the corresponding light transmittance of the window decreases.

[0041] In step 202, the vehicle start time and the start time of window heating are determined.

[0042] The methods for determining the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating include, but are not limited to, the following two methods.

[0043] The first method of determining the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating includes: sending information about condensation to the driver's terminal, providing a notification about the condensation information through the terminal, and obtaining the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating; and receiving the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating returned by the terminal.

[0044] In this method, the vehicle control system transmits information about condensation on the windows to the driver's terminal, alerting the driver to the presence of condensation. The driver can determine the vehicle's start time and the start time for window heating based on their actual driving needs. The driver enters these times into the terminal, which then returns them to the vehicle control system. Upon receiving the driver's information, the vehicle control system heats the windows within that timeframe.

[0045] This application does not limit the driver's terminal. For example, the driver's terminal can be a mobile phone, computer, or other devices. This application also does not limit the format of the reminder message received by the driver's terminal when there is condensation on the windshield. For example, the reminder message can be a voice message prompting the driver that there is condensation on the windshield, or it can be a text message or image message displayed on the vehicle's screen to remind the driver of the condensation.

[0046] The second method involves determining the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating, including: obtaining the vehicle's historical start time; and determining the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating based on the historical start time.

[0047] The vehicle's historical start time includes, but is not limited to, the actual time the driver started the vehicle during each previous window condensation removal operation and the start time input by the driver on the terminal. After each window condensation removal task is completed, the vehicle control system records the start time input by the driver on the terminal and the actual start time during this window condensation removal process. Based on the temporal relationship between the start time input by the driver on the terminal and the actual start time, the system determines the driver's arrival habits. The driver's arrival habits include whether the driver habitually starts the vehicle earlier than the start time input on the terminal, later than the start time input on the terminal, or exactly on time as input on the terminal.

[0048] The vehicle control system obtains the vehicle's historical start time, determines the driver's arrival habits based on the historical start time, and combines the driver's arrival habits with the vehicle usage time habits entered by the driver in advance through the terminal to determine the vehicle's start time. Then, based on the vehicle's start time and the amount of condensation on the windows, it determines the start time for the windows to be heated.

[0049] Furthermore, this application does not limit how the start time for window heating is determined based on the vehicle's start time and the amount of condensation on the windows; the start time for window heating can be selected based on the actual situation, taking into account the time before the vehicle's start time.

[0050] In step 203, the heating duration is determined by the time difference between the vehicle's start time and the start time of heating the windows.

[0051] For example, the vehicle control system calculates the time difference between the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating by subtracting the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating. This time difference is used as the longest heating duration for the window. Within this longest heating duration, an appropriate time is selected as the heating duration, and the condensate on the window is removed by heating within this heating duration.

[0052] This application does not limit how to select a suitable heating time within the longest heating time; the selection can be made based on information about condensation on the car window.

[0053] In step 204, the driver's historical vehicle usage data is obtained; the initial heating power is determined based on the heating duration and condensate information; the initial heating power is calibrated based on the historical vehicle usage data, and the calibrated heating power is used as the target heating power.

[0054] Historical vehicle usage data refers to the vehicle usage data from each previous window heating and condensation removal operation. After each window condensation removal operation is completed, the vehicle control system records the driver's historical usage data during that process. This historical usage data includes at least one of the driver's driving data and historical window heating data. For example, the historical window heating data includes historical heating duration and number of heating cycles.

[0055] In addition to recording the driver's historical vehicle usage data during the condensation removal process, the vehicle control system also receives feedback from the driver's terminal regarding the condensation removal status, recording this status. Removal status includes at least one of the following: not completely cleaned, completely cleaned, and over-cleaned. Receiving condensation removal status includes: the driver observing the windows after starting the vehicle to obtain information on the condensation removal status; the driver sending feedback on the condensation removal status to the vehicle control system via their terminal; and the vehicle control system receiving the feedback from the driver's terminal.

[0056] When determining the initial heating power, the vehicle control system determines the initial heating power based on the acquired heating duration and condensate information, according to the correspondence between the heating duration and condensate information and the initial heating power. This application embodiment does not limit the correspondence between the heating duration and condensate information and the initial heating power. For example, the shorter the heating duration and the thicker the condensate, the higher the heating power is selected to heat the window.

[0057] After determining the initial heating power, the initial heating power is calibrated based on historical vehicle usage data. This includes: the vehicle control system calibrating the initial heating power by combining feedback on condensate removal received from the driver's terminal with historical vehicle usage data, and using the calibrated heating power as the target heating power.

[0058] This application does not limit how the initial heating power is calibrated by combining feedback on condensate removal received from the driver's terminal with historical vehicle usage data. For example, the impact of condensate removal feedback on calibration is as follows: if the condensate removal status received from the driver's terminal indicates incomplete removal, the initial heating power is increased to obtain the target heating power; if the condensate removal status received from the driver's terminal indicates excessive removal, the initial heating power is decreased to obtain the target heating power; if the condensate removal status received from the driver's terminal indicates complete removal, the initial heating power is used as the target heating power. This application does not limit the magnitude of increasing or decreasing the initial heating power; adjustment values ​​can be set based on experience, and the initial heating power can be increased or decreased according to these adjustment values.

[0059] In the method provided in this application embodiment, in order to ensure the information security of users, before obtaining the driver's historical vehicle usage data, a process of obtaining data permission is also included. This process includes: obtaining data permission, which indicates the permission to obtain the driver's historical vehicle usage data of the vehicle; and obtaining the driver's historical vehicle usage data of the vehicle after obtaining the data permission.

[0060] The vehicle control system obtains data permission from the driver's terminal. This data permission is granted by the driver. When the vehicle control system obtains data permission, it means that it has the authority to access the driver's historical vehicle usage data. The vehicle control system can then access this data. Once the driver grants permission, it can re-obtain data permission each time condensation is removed from the windows, before the driver revokes the authorization. This eliminates the need for repeated data permission requests, improving efficiency.

[0061] In step 205, condensation on the windows is removed according to the target heating power before the vehicle starts.

[0062] In one possible implementation, before the vehicle starts, condensation on the windows is removed according to a target heating power, including: removing condensation on the windows according to the target heating power before the vehicle starts and during the current heating cycle; after the current heating cycle ends, obtaining the updated light transmittance of the windows and determining the updated condensation information based on the updated light transmittance; determining the updated heating duration based on the time difference between the vehicle's start time and the current time; adjusting the target heating power based on the updated condensation information and the updated heating duration to obtain the adjusted heating power; and heating the windows according to the adjusted heating power during the next heating cycle, wherein the end time of the next heating cycle is earlier than the vehicle's start time.

[0063] This application does not specify the duration of the heating cycle; the duration of the heating cycle is determined based on the heating duration, and the duration of the heating cycle must be shorter than the heating duration. Before the vehicle starts, a heating cycle duration is determined and designated as the first heating cycle. During the first heating cycle, the window is heated according to the target heating power to remove condensation on the window. This application does not limit the method of heating the window. For example, the heating method could be to install heating circuits around the window and heat it through these circuits. Alternatively, the heating method could be to turn on the air conditioning for the corresponding window and blow hot air onto it, thereby heating the window.

[0064] After the first heating cycle ends, the vehicle control system activates the windshield wipers to remove condensation suspended on the windows. Following this removal, the condensation status on the windows is updated. After removing the condensation, a light transmittance detection device measures the window's transmittance. The vehicle control system then compares this updated transmittance with a transmittance threshold to determine if it is lower. If the updated transmittance is lower, the system retrieves the condensation information based on a pre-set mapping between window transmittance and condensation data, determining the thickness of the updated condensation. The time difference between the end of the first cycle and the vehicle's start time is used as the updated heating duration. The target heating power is adjusted based on the updated condensation information and the updated heating duration to obtain the adjusted heating power. This application does not limit how the heating power is adjusted based on the information of the condensate and the heating time. For example, if the heating time is shorter and the thickness of the condensate is thicker, then a higher heating power is selected to heat the car window.

[0065] The second heating cycle is determined based on the updated heating duration, and the second heating cycle must be shorter than the updated heating duration. The durations of the first and second heating cycles can be the same or different; this embodiment does not limit this. During the second heating cycle, the vehicle window is heated according to the adjusted heating power, and the heating process is the same as that of the first heating cycle, which will not be described again here.

[0066] After the second heating cycle, the vehicle control system activates the windshield wipers to remove condensation suspended on the windows and update the condensation status. After removing the condensation, a light transmittance detector measures the window's transmittance, providing the updated transmittance. The control system then compares this updated transmittance to a threshold value to determine if it is lower than the threshold. If the updated transmittance is lower, the process is repeated to obtain an updated heating power. The window is then heated in the third heating cycle at this updated power until the updated transmittance falls below the threshold or the vehicle's start-up time is reached. At this point, heating stops, and the condensation removal process ceases.

[0067] This application obtains information about condensation on vehicle windows by measuring the light transmittance of the windows. It then determines the heating duration based on the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating. Based on the heating duration, condensation information, and the driver's historical driving data, a target heating power is determined. The windows are then heated to remove condensation before vehicle startup, according to the target power. Therefore, this application, through analysis of condensation on vehicle windows and considering the driver's actual needs, removes condensation before the driver starts the vehicle, thus ensuring travel time and eliminating the need for complex driver operations, providing convenience for the driver.

[0068] See Figure 3 This application provides a condensate removal device, which includes:

[0069] The first determining module 301 is used to obtain the light transmittance of the vehicle window based on the fact that the vehicle window meets the condensation conditions, and to determine the information of the condensation on the vehicle window based on the light transmittance of the vehicle window. The information of the condensation includes at least one of the thickness and state of the condensation.

[0070] The second determining module 302 is used to determine the vehicle's start time and the start time of heating the windows;

[0071] The third determining module 303 is used to determine the heating duration by the time difference between the vehicle's start time and the start time of heating the windows;

[0072] The fourth determining module 304 is used to acquire the driver's historical vehicle usage data, the historical heating data including at least one of historical heating duration and heating number; determine the initial heating power based on the heating duration and condensate information; calibrate the initial heating power based on the historical vehicle usage data, and use the calibrated heating power as the target heating power; wherein, the historical vehicle usage data includes at least one of the driver's driving data and the historical heating data of the vehicle window, and the historical heating data includes at least one of historical heating duration and heating number;

[0073] The removal module 305 is used to remove condensation on the windows according to the target heating power before the vehicle starts.

[0074] In one possible implementation, the removal module 305 is used to remove condensation on the window according to the target heating power before the vehicle starts and during the current heating cycle; after the current heating cycle ends, the window's updated light transmittance is obtained, and the updated condensation information is determined based on the updated light transmittance; the updated heating duration is determined by the time difference between the vehicle's start time and the current time; the target heating power is adjusted based on the updated condensation information and the updated heating duration to obtain the adjusted heating power; and the window is heated according to the adjusted heating power during the next heating cycle, the end time of the next heating cycle being earlier than the vehicle's start time.

[0075] In one possible implementation, the second determining module 302 is used to send information about condensate to the driver's terminal, prompt the driver about the condensate information through the terminal, and obtain the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating; receive the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating returned by the terminal; or, obtain the vehicle's historical start time; and determine the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating based on the historical start time.

[0076] In one possible implementation, the fourth determining module 304 is further configured to obtain data permission, which indicates the permission to obtain the historical vehicle usage data of the vehicle's driver; and, if the data permission is obtained, to obtain the historical vehicle usage data of the vehicle's driver.

[0077] In one possible implementation, the removal module 305 is further configured to receive terminal feedback from the driver regarding the removal status of the condensate, the condensate removal status including at least one of not cleaned completely, cleaned completely, and over-cleaned.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the first determining module 301 is further configured to acquire the external temperature and internal temperature of the vehicle; determine the temperature difference between the external temperature and the internal temperature; and determine that the window meets the condensation conditions when the temperature difference reaches a temperature threshold.

[0079] The aforementioned device obtains information about condensation on vehicle windows by acquiring their light transmittance. It then determines the heating duration based on the vehicle's start time and the start time of window heating. Based on the heating duration, condensation information, and the driver's historical driving data, it determines the target heating power. Finally, before vehicle startup, the device heats the windows to remove condensation according to the target power. Therefore, this application, through analysis of condensation on vehicle windows and considering the driver's actual needs, removes condensation from the windows before the driver starts the vehicle, thus ensuring travel time and eliminating the need for complex driver operations, providing convenience for the driver.

The microphone may also be an array microphone or an omnidirectional microphone. The speaker is used to convert electrical signals from the processor 1501 or the radio frequency circuit 1504 into sound waves. The speaker may be a conventional diaphragm speaker or a piezoelectric ceramic speaker. When the speaker is a piezoelectric ceramic speaker, it can convert electrical signals not only into audible sound waves but also into inaudible sound waves for purposes such as distance measurement. In some embodiments, the audio circuit 1507 may also include a headphone jack.

Processor 1501 can control display screen 1505 to display the user interface in either a landscape or portrait view based on the gravitational acceleration signal acquired by accelerometer 1510. Accelerometer 1510 can also be used for games or for acquiring user motion data.

[0095] The gyroscope sensor 1511 can detect the terminal's orientation and rotation angle. The gyroscope sensor 1511 can work in conjunction with the accelerometer sensor 1510 to collect the user's 3D movements on the terminal. Based on the data collected by the gyroscope sensor 1511, the processor 1501 can perform the following functions: motion sensing (e.g., changing the UI based on the user's tilt), image stabilization during shooting, game control, and inertial navigation.

[0096] The pressure sensor 1512 can be disposed on the side bezel of the terminal and / or the lower layer of the display screen 1505. When the pressure sensor 1512 is disposed on the side bezel of the terminal, it can detect the user's grip signal on the terminal, and the processor 1501 can perform left / right hand recognition or quick operation based on the grip signal collected by the pressure sensor 1512. When the pressure sensor 1512 is disposed on the lower layer of the display screen 1505, the processor 1501 can control the operable controls on the UI interface based on the user's pressure operation on the display screen 1505. The operable controls include at least one of button controls, scroll bar controls, icon controls, and menu controls.

[0097] Optical sensor 1513 is used to collect ambient light intensity. In one embodiment, processor 1501 can control the display brightness of display screen 1505 based on the ambient light intensity collected by optical sensor 1513. Specifically, when the ambient light intensity is high, the display brightness of display screen 1505 is increased; when the ambient light intensity is low, the display brightness of display screen 1505 is decreased. In another embodiment, processor 1501 can also dynamically adjust the shooting parameters of camera assembly 1506 based on the ambient light intensity collected by optical sensor 1513.

[0098] The proximity sensor 1514, also known as a distance sensor, is typically installed on the front panel of the terminal. The proximity sensor 1514 is used to detect the distance between the user and the front of the terminal. In one embodiment, when the proximity sensor 1514 detects that the distance between the user and the front of the terminal is gradually decreasing, the processor 1501 controls the display screen 1505 to switch from a screen-on state to a screen-off state; when the proximity sensor 1514 detects that the distance between the user and the front of the terminal is gradually increasing, the processor 1501 controls the display screen 1505 to switch from a screen-off state to a screen-on state.
