Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of in-vehicle lighting control, and more particularly to an ambient lighting control method, system, ambient lighting, and in-vehicle splicing display screen for an in-vehicle display module. Background Technology

[0002] In existing automotive display modules, curved screens are increasingly being used. Integrated curved screens require OLED displays, which are costly and have size limitations. Generally, automotive applications use smaller screens. In practical applications, larger screens are often created by combining several screens, resulting in mostly flat displays.

[0003] Currently, the technology that uses splicing to create curved screens connects two display areas with curved glass to create the experience of a large curved screen. However, the curved glass has a large bending radius and a long transition zone, resulting in a large distance between the black areas of the screens, which affects the user experience.

[0004] As vehicles become more intelligent, screens are installed on the instrument panel, center console, and passenger side, forming a multi-screen interactive control method. However, due to the layout of the vehicle's center console, some displays are relatively small. For example, the instrument panel is usually small in size, which not only makes the vehicle status information less noticeable but also limits the content displayed. In case of emergencies, the alarm prompts are insufficient, affecting the user's driving safety.

[0005] Even with a large central control screen, the display is limited to screen animations or icons, and the indication effect cannot be further magnified. This forces the driver to stare at the screen to control the vehicle status, which will further increase the risk of vehicle use. Summary of the Invention

[0062] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in the embodiments of this application, these descriptions should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the descriptions. For example, first may also be referred to as second without departing from the scope of the embodiments of this application, and similarly, second may also be referred to as first.

[0065] It should be noted that any symbols and / or numbers present in the specification that are not marked in the accompanying drawings are not reference numerals.

[0066] Example 1

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, this application discloses an ambient light control method for an in-vehicle display module, wherein the ambient light is disposed on the outer periphery of the in-vehicle display module or between adjacent in-vehicle display modules; the control method includes

[0068] Step 101A: Obtain the display information from the vehicle display module.

[0069] Step 101B: Obtain status information of at least one device associated with the vehicle display module;

[0070] Step 102: Detect the UI elements contained in the display interface of the vehicle display module corresponding to the displayed information;

[0071] Step 103: Match the device's status information with the UI element;

[0072] If a match is found,

[0073] Step 104: Control the ambient light to display the status information of the device;

[0074] If it does not match

[0075] Step 105: Detect the brightness or color information of the vehicle display module, or the brightness or color difference information of adjacent vehicle display modules;

[0076] Step 106: Control the ambient lighting display.

[0077] The vehicle display module can be a vehicle-mounted display screen or a virtual display screen.

[0078] Match the device's status information with the text of words in the UI element's corresponding display interface, extract the text keywords corresponding to the UI element, and compare them with the text contained in the corresponding device name or status information, for example;

[0079] When the vehicle display module displays the corresponding UI elements through the control input of the control hardware or UI interaction interface, it detects the devices and their status associated with the vehicle display module, including sensors or smart terminals that are electrically connected or communication-linked.

[0080] The UI control elements can correspond to in-vehicle interactive control states such as volume adjustment, temperature adjustment, and electric seat adjustment.

[0081] Match the current UI element with the device and its status. For example, when entering the volume adjustment page, if the UI element displays the vertical volume value and / or the virtual volume adjustment knob, and the UI element matches the in-vehicle volume device and its current status, then activate the association control between the ambient light display and the device status change.

[0082] When a user's mobile phone is used as a smart terminal communicating with the vehicle's display module, for example, the UI element displays an incoming Bluetooth phone call and simultaneously detects the smartphone connected to the vehicle's display module and the phone call's pending connection status. The UI element then matches the device and its status, initiating the associated control of the ambient lighting display and the device status change. Conversely, although an incoming Bluetooth phone call will trigger a synchronized alert from the car's audio system, the UI element does not contain volume information, so the volume display will not be activated, thus achieving precise ambient lighting display control.

[0083] In the power-on scenario, when the vehicle is powered on, the ambient lighting animation effect is displayed together with the power-on animation of the vehicle display module and the duration is the same, thus extending the screen display range.

[0084] Adjust the display state of the ambient light according to the different UI elements displayed on the screen to match the display of the vehicle display module; for example, when a vehicle has a safety problem and needs to be alarmed, such as battery thermal runaway, the vehicle display module displays a battery fault label, and the ambient light can display red and flash at a frequency to effectively and promptly remind the user to take preventive measures.

[0085] Example 2

[0086] like Figure 2 As shown, this application discloses an ambient light control method for an in-vehicle display module. The ambient light is disposed on the outer periphery of the in-vehicle instrument panel. The control method includes...

[0087] Step 101A: Obtain the display information from the vehicle's instrument panel;

[0088] Step 101B: Obtain vehicle driving status information associated with the vehicle instrument panel;

[0089] Step 102: Detect the UI elements contained in the vehicle instrument display interface corresponding to the displayed information;

[0090] Step 103: Match the vehicle's driving status information with the UI element;

[0091] If a match is found,

[0092] Step 104: Control the ambient lighting to display the vehicle's driving status information;

[0093] If it does not match

[0094] Step 105: Detect the brightness or color information of the vehicle instrument panel;

[0095] Step 106: Control the ambient lighting display.

[0096] The UI elements include UI display elements or UI control elements. UI display elements can correspond to vehicle speed information, fault alarm information, fuel information, seat belt alarm information, etc., indicating the vehicle's driving status. UI control elements can be maintenance time interaction information, mileage setting interaction information, etc.

[0097] Match the device's status information with the display animation or icon corresponding to the UI element. Then, extract the source code information corresponding to the display animation or icon and compare it with the information contained in the corresponding device name or status information. (Example)

[0098] The vehicle instrument panel displays that the vehicle is currently in a steering state. If a steering icon or animation corresponding to a UI element is detected on the interface, and the source code information corresponding to the animation or icon is found to be consistent with the vehicle's steering state information, the ambient lights around the corresponding vehicle instrument panel will be controlled to display the vehicle's steering state. For example, the ambient lights will be lit sequentially to indicate the steering action.

[0099] Furthermore, the ambient lighting is aligned with the direction of the turn. When turning left, multiple LEDs on the left side of the instrument panel illuminate continuously, while vice versa. This further enhances the display and indication effects of the instrument panel.

[0100] Example 3

[0101] like Figure 3 As shown, this application discloses an ambient light control method for an in-vehicle display module. The ambient light is disposed on the outer periphery of the in-vehicle display module or between adjacent in-vehicle display modules. The control method includes...

[0102] Step 101A: Obtain the display information from the first vehicle-mounted display module.

[0103] Step 101B: Playback status information of at least one second vehicle display module associated with the first vehicle display module;

[0104] Step 102: Detect the UI elements contained in the display interface of the first vehicle display module corresponding to the displayed information;

[0105] Step 103: Match the playback status information of the second vehicle display module with the UI element;

[0106] If a match is found,

[0107] Step 104: Control the ambient lighting to display the playback status information of the second vehicle display module;

[0108] If it does not match

[0109] Step 105: Detect the brightness or color difference information between the first vehicle display module and the second vehicle display module;

[0110] Step 106: Control the ambient lighting display.

[0111] The control of ambient lighting displays the status information of the second vehicle display module; including controlling the ambient lighting display between the first and second vehicle display modules.

[0112] The UI elements include UI control elements, which can correspond to the on / off interaction control, brightness interaction control, playback progress interaction control, playback content interaction control, etc. of the second vehicle display module; the first vehicle display module is the main control screen, which performs linkage control on other vehicle display modules, and the interactive control effect is amplified under the effect of ambient lighting.

[0113] The status information of the second vehicle display module is matched with the control interaction interface information of the second vehicle display module corresponding to the UI element in the UI element. For example, when in the brightness interaction control interface of the control menu, the keywords "second vehicle display module" and "brightness" contained in the keywords in the UI element interaction menu are extracted. At the same time, the current status information of the second vehicle display module is matched. If it is detected that the device is powered on and in playback mode, the brightness adjustable status information of the second vehicle display module is also matched.

[0114] Control the first ambient light (surrounding the outer periphery of the first vehicle display module) to light up. As the UI element is controlled and input information is provided, the brightness of the first ambient light display changes or the number of first ambient light beads lit up changes as the brightness increases or decreases, thus amplifying the indication effect.

[0115] Meanwhile, the second ambient light is positioned between the first vehicle display module and the second vehicle display module. After the above matching is completed, the second ambient light is in a constant or continuous lighting state, indicating the control association between the first vehicle display module and the second vehicle display module. After the first vehicle display module exits the currently matchable UI element interface, the second ambient light is turned off, and the control connection is disconnected.

[0116] When the first vehicle display module and the second vehicle display module are adjacent vehicle display modules, after the first vehicle display module exits the currently matchable UI element interface, if there is no match, the brightness information of the adjacent vehicle display module is detected; and the ambient light display is controlled according to the brightness information.

[0117] For example, the first in-vehicle display module is a central control screen, and the second in-vehicle display module is a passenger entertainment screen. Both the central control screen and the passenger entertainment screen are in playback mode. Due to the different content being played, there is a difference in brightness or color. The second ambient light is set between the first and second in-vehicle display modules. The color difference or brightness information of the adjacent in-vehicle display modules is detected. By controlling the brightness and color of the second ambient light, the integrated display effect of the screen is improved.

[0118] The method for detecting the color difference or brightness information of the adjacent vehicle display modules includes video capture by a camera located outside the display module, comparing the brightness and color difference information by comparing the real-time video signal of the screen. This method can provide feedback on the viewing brightness and color difference effect of adjacent screens from the actual viewing angle, referring to the actual brightness and color environment inside the vehicle, and then supplementing the transition with a second ambient light to improve screen display consistency.

[0119] Alternatively, a color and brightness processing module and an information sending module built into the display module can send the color and brightness data of their respective screens to the processor. The processor then compares the data to obtain the color difference and brightness difference, and controls the brightness and color of the second ambient light based on the comparison results.

[0120] Example 4

[0121] like Figure 4 As shown, this application discloses an ambient lighting control system for an in-vehicle display module, including an information acquisition module, a UI element detection module, a comparison module, and a control module;

[0122] The information acquisition module is used to acquire the display information of the vehicle display module and the status information of at least one device associated with the vehicle display module;

[0123] The UI element detection module is used to detect the UI elements contained in the display interface of the vehicle display module corresponding to the display information.

[0124] The comparison module is used to compare the status information of the device with the UI element;

[0125] The control module is used to control the display of the ambient light based on the comparison results.

[0126] The display controlling the ambient light includes

[0127] If the status information of the device matches the UI element, the control module controls the ambient light to display the status information of the device.

[0128] If there is a mismatch, the brightness or color information of the vehicle display module, or the brightness or color difference information of adjacent vehicle display modules, is detected, and the control module controls the ambient light display.

[0129] The control module receives the input result from the comparison module. If the result matches, the display changes with the UI elements of the vehicle display module. If the result does not match, the display is based on the state of the vehicle display module or the state of adjacent vehicle display modules. The display includes controlling the number of ambient lights lit and / or the flashing frequency based on the gain change value and / or frequency of the state information.

[0130] Based on the signals received by the instrument panel, different scenarios can be displayed: controlling the on / off state of the ambient light bulbs, for example, lighting up the ambient light in segments to indicate the charging level; lighting up the bulbs one by one to indicate fragrance or other scenarios; controlling the position of the bulbs to create simple shapes like arrows to indicate directions; controlling different colors to represent different temperatures; and lighting up one side to indicate the position of different doors when they are open.

[0131] Example 5

[0132] like Figure 6 As shown, the present invention discloses an ambient light, including an ambient light body 1, wherein the ambient light is used in the ambient light control method of the above-mentioned vehicle display module; the ambient light is used in the ambient light control system of the above-mentioned vehicle display module;

[0133] The ambient light also includes a glass cover plate 2, a diffusion film 3, and a reflective film 4;

[0134] Glass cover 2, the ink layer of glass cover 2 is screen-printed with a marked texture structure;

[0135] A diffusion film 3 is disposed between the glass cover plate 2 and the light-emitting area of ​​the ambient light body 1, and the diffusion film 3 is attached to the area of ​​the marked texture structure;

[0136] The reflective film 4 is disposed on the side of the ambient light body 1 facing away from the glass cover plate 2. The reflective film 4 is fixed around the vehicle display module in a curved state.

[0137] The ambient light body 1 is provided with a light-shielding frame 5 on its outer periphery, and the light-shielding frame 5 is foam that is bonded around the ambient light body 1.

[0138] The specific structure is as follows Figure 7As shown, when the ambient light is fixed by an adhesive structure, the upper surface of the ambient light body 1 is provided with an optical resin layer 7, the outer periphery of the optical resin layer 7 is provided with a dam frame 6, the lower surface of the ambient light body 1 is provided with an optical PC board 8, the reflective film 4 and the optical PC board 8 are bonded together by ambient light tape 9, the side of the reflective film 4 facing away from the ambient light tape 9 is provided with reflective film tape 10, and the reflective film tape 10 bonds and fixes the ambient light from the bottom.

[0139] The installation process for ambient lighting is as follows:

[0140] 1. Silk screen lines are made on the ink layer of the cover glass 2, and the printing texture is used to mark the area (marking texture structure). Then the diffusion film 3 is pasted on the corresponding area to make the brightness of the lamp beads uniform and the lamp beads cannot be seen from the front when the screen is displayed.

[0141] 2. The main body 1 of the ambient light is attached to the reflective film 4 on the back to ensure the brightness of the ambient light;

[0142] 3. After bending the reflective film 4 assembly, attach it to the groove of the die-cast frame of the vehicle display module and fix it with screws. The strength of the cast aluminum frame ensures the strength and durability of the ambient light assembly.

[0143] 4. Then, when the cover glass 2 is attached to the cast aluminum frame, foam is bonded in the middle. The foam is bonded around the ambient light and compressed to prevent light leakage around the ambient light.

[0144] In the ambient light installation process, the mounting bracket is set into various shapes according to the needs of the screen. Strip-shaped PCB boards are arranged according to the shape, and LED beads are glued to the strip-shaped light boards to achieve an LED array arrangement. Each LED bead can be individually controlled for brightness and color. By individually controlling the brightness of each LED bead and printing textures with glass ink, the display effect is improved.

[0145] Multiple ambient lights are connected together and electrically connected to the corresponding control circuit or module. For example, the ambient light also includes an LED driver IC, LED beads, and a power supply IC: the power supply IC provides power to the LED beads, and the LED driver IC drives the LED bead matrix.

[0146] The control components for ambient lighting and the in-vehicle screen can be connected using the following control methods.

[0147] like Figure 5 As shown, the control circuit board of the ambient light can be connected to the MCU of the instrument panel. Based on the signal received by the instrument panel, different scenes are displayed. When the MCU receives the corresponding scene input, it calls the preset scene in the screen Flash, converts the signal through the CAN transceiver, and pushes the scene effect data to the ambient light. The LED driver IC drives the LED bead matrix to light up the screen.

[0148] An example of control flow logic is as follows:

[0149] The IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment System) sends the corresponding ambient lighting scene effects to the instrument cluster's main control MCU. The scene matching logic is controlled and perceived by the IVI.

[0150] When the instrument's main control MCU receives the corresponding scene input, it calls the Flash preset scene and pushes the scene effect data through the corresponding matching Melibu protocol.

[0151] The immersive ambient light panel driver IC reads and executes data via the Melibu protocol to illuminate the LED matrix for the corresponding scene effect.

[0152] The ambient lighting is controlled by the instrument cluster's main control MCU. It receives instrument signals directly from the MCU and invokes defined scenes to achieve diverse ambient lighting displays, enabling interaction with the screen and the entire vehicle. Ambient lights are used on both sides of the screen, displaying different states in various scenes and supplementing the brightness pattern. They adaptively adjust as the instrument cluster or display screen changes, improving the screen viewing experience.

[0153] Example 5

[0154] This invention describes an in-vehicle splicing display screen, including at least two display screens and an ambient light with the above-described structure, wherein the ambient light is spliced ​​between adjacent display screens.

[0155] The display screen is flat, and adjacent display screens are spliced ​​together by ambient lighting to form a curved structure.

[0156] Ambient lights are positioned on both sides of the instrument panel's circuit board, following the curved surface between adjacent displays to form a curved structure. This extends the screen while enabling curved display, enhancing the integrated display effect. The size and shape of the ambient lights can be adapted to different transition needs, allowing for flexible size adjustments to create screens of various sizes. The ambient lights are constructed by attaching individual LED beads to form lines, which are then combined to create a suitable surface shape.

[0157] This invention incorporates ambient lighting between the main screen body or adjacent screen bodies, effectively extending the screen display area. Furthermore, the different distribution of LED beads can adapt to curved surfaces. The ambient lighting adjusts the display content in conjunction with the screen's display, effectively extending the screen's display effect. While providing the display experience of a large, irregularly shaped screen, it also effectively reduces costs.

[0158] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the systems or apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the descriptions are relatively simple, and relevant parts can be referred to the method section.
