Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle safety, and in particular to a control method, device, equipment and storage medium for an electric door. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, major automakers have launched high-end smart electric vehicles, many of which are equipped with power doors. Considering that the vehicle may not be able to unlock and open the doors normally in the event of a collision that damages the electric door opening and closing control system, or the electric door opening and closing control system itself malfunctions, electric doors are generally equipped with a mechanical escape switch in addition to the electric door opening and closing control system. By flipping the mechanical escape switch, the doors can be opened in an emergency if the vehicle doors are locked and the door opening button cannot be normally unlocked and opened from inside the vehicle. If a person in the vehicle mistakenly uses the mechanical escape switch to open the power door and exit the vehicle under normal circumstances, the power door will still be locked. Therefore, after the person exits the vehicle and closes the door, they will not be able to open the door when they try to use the door handle to open the door again, resulting in the "vehicle self-locking" phenomenon. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present application mainly provides a control method, device, equipment and storage medium for an electric door, which can overcome the "vehicle self-locking" problem in the related art that a person in the vehicle mistakenly uses the mechanical escape switch of the vehicle door to open the door under normal circumstances, gets out of the vehicle, closes the door, and cannot open the door by pulling the vehicle door handle when using the vehicle again.

[0004] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is implemented as follows:

[0005] The present invention provides a method for controlling an electric door, including:

[0006] Acquire the switch information of the electric door of the vehicle and the occupant information of the preset seat corresponding to the electric door of the vehicle; the switch information includes the opening information and the switch signal;

[0007] When the opening information indicates that the electric door is in an open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched, and the occupant information indicates that there is no one in the preset seat, the electric door is controlled to change from a locked state to an unlocked state.

[0008] An embodiment of the present application provides a control device for an electric door, the device comprising:

[0023] The technical solution of the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] In order to enable people in this technical field to better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] The terms "first," "second," and "third," etc. in the specification, embodiments, claims, and figures of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or precedence. In addition, the terms "including" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, including a series of steps or units. A method, system, product, or apparatus is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0026] In recent years, major automakers have launched high-end smart electric vehicles, many of which are equipped with power doors. To prevent the vehicle from unlocking and opening properly in the event of a collision damaging the power door's electric control system or a malfunction in the control system itself, power doors are typically equipped with a mechanical escape switch in addition to the electric control system. This switch allows emergency unlocking of the vehicle's doors when they are locked and the door unlock button doesn't work from inside. Mechanical escape switches are typically used in emergencies. However, unfamiliar users may mistakenly use the mechanical escape switch to exit the vehicle after a normal drive, rather than pressing the door unlock button as is. This can cause occupants to close the door after exiting the vehicle. When they need to re-enter the vehicle, pulling the door handle will not open the door, requiring the vehicle key or remote unlocking. This malfunction is commonly known as "vehicle self-locking." The reason for the vehicle's self-locking is that the door is in a locked state during normal driving of the vehicle. When the people in the vehicle get off, a mechanical escape switch is used to open the door. The entire mechanism of the mechanical escape switch to open the door is mechanical. There is no controller on the vehicle to collect the on / off signal of the mechanical escape switch, resulting in the vehicle control system not knowing that the user has turned on the mechanical escape switch to open the door and get off. After the people in the vehicle get off, the door is still in a locked state. Therefore, after the people in the vehicle get off and close the door, they cannot open the door when they want to use the vehicle again and are ready to pull the vehicle door handle to open the door.

[0027] To address the aforementioned technical issues, embodiments of the present application provide a method for controlling an electric door. This method can be applied to a control device for a vehicle's electric door. In some embodiments, the control device for the electric door can be provided in the vehicle's body controller (BDC), allowing the vehicle to control the electric door through the BDC.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the control method of the electric door according to the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the process may include:

[0029] In S101 , the opening and closing information of the electric door of the vehicle and the occupant information of the preset seat corresponding to the electric door of the vehicle are obtained.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the control device of the electric door can continuously obtain the real-time opening and closing information of the electric door and the real-time personnel information of the preset seats corresponding to the electric door.

[0031] The electric door in the embodiment of the present application can be opened by two switches: one is an electric switch controlled by an electric control system, and the other is a mechanical switch. In other words, the electric door in the embodiment of the present application can be opened by either the electric switch or the mechanical switch. The difference between the electric switch and the mechanical switch is that: when the electric switch is touched, it can send an opening signal, so that the control device of the electric door knows that the person in the car has opened the electric door through the electric switch. At this time, the control device of the electric door can control the electric door from a locked state to an unlocked state; when the mechanical switch is touched, it cannot send an opening signal, and there is no controller that can collect the opening / closing signal of the mechanical switch. This results in the control device of the electric door being unable to know that the person in the car has opened the electric door through the mechanical switch. At this time, although the electric door is opened, the electric door is still locked.

[0032] Here, the switch information includes opening information and a switch signal. The opening information indicates the current state of the electric door, for example, whether the electric door is open or closed. The switch signal indicates whether the electric switch is activated. In some embodiments, the switch signal can be represented by a high-level signal or a low-level signal. When the switch signal is a high-level signal, it indicates that the electric switch is activated, and when the switch signal is a low-level signal, it indicates that the electric switch is not activated.

[0033] Here, the preset seat refers to the seat corresponding to the electric door. For example, when the electric door is the driver's door, the preset seat is the driver's seat; when the electric door is the passenger door, the preset seat is the passenger seat. When the vehicle is a five-seater vehicle, the door in the middle of the rear row can be the door on the left or the right of the middle position. In some embodiments, the preset seat corresponding to the electric door in the embodiments of the present application can also refer to a seat at a preset distance from the electric door, that is, the seat closest to the electric door is the preset seat.

[0034] Here, the occupant information of the preset seat is used to indicate whether there is someone in the preset seat. In some embodiments, the occupant information of the preset seat can be represented by a pressure value. After the control device of the electric door obtains the occupant information, the pressure value representing the occupant information of the preset seat can be compared with the preset pressure value. When the pressure value is less than the preset pressure value, it indicates that there is no one in the preset seat. When the pressure value is greater than or equal to the preset pressure value, it indicates that there is someone in the preset seat. In some embodiments, the occupant information of the preset seat can also be represented by image information of the preset seat. After the control device of the electric door obtains the image information of the preset seat, the image information can be identified. When human body information can be identified, it can be determined that there is someone in the preset seat. When human body information cannot be identified, it can be determined that there is no one in the preset seat.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, the control device of the electric door can control other controllers to collect the opening and closing information of the electric door and the information of the occupants of the preset seats. For example, the vehicle door controller can collect the opening and closing information of the electric door, and the seat controller can collect the information of the occupants of the preset seats. The vehicle door controller then sends the collected opening and closing information to the control device of the electric door, and the seat controller sends the collected information to the control device of the electric door. In some embodiments, the control device of the electric door can also collect the opening and closing information of the electric door and the information of the occupants of the preset seats through its own collection unit.

[0036] In S102 , when the opening information indicates that the electric door is in an open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched, and the occupant information indicates that no one is sitting in the preset seat, the electric door is controlled to change from a locked state to an unlocked state.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, after the control device of the electric door obtains the opening information, the switch signal and the personnel information, it can determine whether the electric door is in the open state based on the opening information, determine whether the electric switch is triggered based on the switch signal, and determine whether there is someone in the preset seat based on the personnel information. When the opening information indicates that the electric door is in the open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not triggered, and the personnel information indicates that there is no one in the preset seat, the electric door is controlled to change from a locked state to an unlocked state.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, the electric door control device can simultaneously determine whether the electric door is in an open state based on the opening information, determine whether the electric switch is triggered based on the switch signal, and determine whether someone is occupying the preset seat based on the occupant information. In some embodiments, the electric door control device can also first determine whether the electric door is in an open state, and if it is determined that the electric door is in an open state, then determine whether the electric switch is triggered and whether someone is occupying the preset seat.

[0039] The electric door in the embodiment of the present application can be opened by an electric switch or a mechanical switch. When the electric door control device determines that the electric door is in the open state and the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched, it can be determined that the electric door is opened by the mechanical switch. Because when the mechanical switch is touched, it cannot send an opening signal, and no controller can collect the opening / closing signal of the mechanical switch, so even if the electric door is opened, the electric door is still in the locked state. At this time, if the person in the vehicle gets off and closes the electric door, the "vehicle self-locking" phenomenon will occur. Therefore, the electric door control device controls the electric door from the locked state to the unlocked state when it determines that the electric door is in the open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched, and the person information indicates that there is no one in the preset seat (i.e., indicating that the person in the vehicle is about to get off). In this way, even if the person in the vehicle gets off and closes the electric door, the door can be opened by the door handle, thereby avoiding the "vehicle self-locking" phenomenon.

[0040] The embodiment of the present application obtains the switch information of the vehicle's electric door and the occupant information of the vehicle's preset seat corresponding to the electric door; the switch information includes opening information and a switch signal; when the opening information indicates that the electric door is in an open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched, and the occupant information indicates that no one is in the preset seat, the electric door is controlled to change from a locked state to an unlocked state. In this way, when the electric door is in an open state and the electric switch is not touched, it can be indicated that the vehicle's electric door was not opened in a normal manner by the electric switch, thereby determining that the occupant has used the mechanical escape switch. When no one is in the preset seat, it indicates that the occupant is ready to get off the vehicle. At this time, the electric door can be controlled to change from a locked state to an unlocked state, thereby avoiding the "vehicle self-locking" phenomenon in which the occupant mistakenly uses the door's mechanical escape switch to open the door, gets off the vehicle, closes the door, and then cannot open the door by pulling the vehicle door handle again.

[0041] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of the control method of the electric door provided by the embodiment of the present application, based on Figure 1 , Figure 1 S102 can be realized by S201, which will be combined with Figure 2 The steps shown are explained.

[0042] In S101 , the opening and closing information of the electric door of the vehicle and the occupant information of the preset seat corresponding to the electric door of the vehicle are obtained.

[0043] In S201, when the opening information indicates that the electric door is in the open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched, no control instruction for opening the electric door is received, and the occupant information indicates that there is no one in the preset seat, the electric door is controlled to change from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, the control device of the electric door can also monitor whether a control instruction for opening the electric door is received within a preset time period. When the opening information indicates that the electric door is in an open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched, no control instruction for opening the electric door is received, and the personnel information indicates that there is no one in the preset seat, the control device of the electric door can control the electric door from a locked state to an unlocked state.

[0045] The electric door in the embodiment of the present application can be opened not only by an electric switch or a mechanical switch, but also by a control command. The control command for opening the electric door can include at least one of the following: a remote unlock command, a Bluetooth unlock command, a digital unlock command, and a near-field communication unlock command.

[0046] Here, the remote unlocking command may be issued by a client corresponding to the vehicle, which may be installed in various electronic devices, including but not limited to fixed devices and / or mobile devices. For example, fixed devices include but are not limited to: personal computers (PCs) or servers, etc., and the server may be a cloud server or a regular server. Mobile devices include but are not limited to: one or more of: mobile phones, tablet computers, or wearable devices.

[0047] In actual application, the user can click on the control for controlling the vehicle door on the human-computer interaction interface in the client corresponding to the vehicle. The client can respond to the trigger operation of the control for controlling the vehicle door and send a remote unlocking command to the control device of the electric door, so the control device of the electric door can monitor whether the remote unlocking command is received within a preset time period.

[0048] Here, the Bluetooth unlocking instruction may be that the electronic device is connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth, and then the electronic device sends the Bluetooth unlocking instruction to the control device of the electric door to control the opening and closing of the electric door.

[0049] Here, the digital unlocking command and Near Field Communication (NFC) unlocking are issued by an electronic device that has been bound to an account. After the electronic device is bound to an account, it can directly serve as a vehicle key. When the electronic device touches the electric door, the electronic device can send a digital unlocking command or a Near Field Communication unlocking command to the control device of the electric door, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the electric door. The electronic device here can be the mobile device in the above embodiment.

[0050] The electric door in the embodiment of the present application can be opened not only by an electric switch or a mechanical switch, but also by a control command. Therefore, when the electric door control device in the embodiment of the present application determines that the electric door is in the open state and the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not triggered, it cannot be determined that the electric door was opened by the mechanical switch. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether a control command for opening the electric door is received within a preset time period. When the electric door is in the open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not triggered, and no control command for opening the electric door is received, it can be determined that the electric door was opened by the mechanical switch. Therefore, if no one is in the preset seat, the electric door is controlled to change from a locked state to an unlocked state.

[0051] The embodiment of the present application controls the electric door from a locked state to an unlocked state only when it is determined that the electric door is in an open state, the electric switch is not triggered, no control command for opening the electric door is received, and the occupant information indicates that no one is occupying the preset seat. In this way, by determining whether the electric switch is triggered and whether a control command for opening the electric door is received, it is possible to accurately determine whether the electric door was opened via the mechanical switch, thereby improving the accuracy of controlling the electric door state.

[0052] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of the control method of the electric door provided by the embodiment of the present application, based on Figure 1 ,exist Figure 1 After S102 in the above, the control method of the electric door may further include S301, combining Figure 2 The steps shown are explained.

[0053] In S101 , the opening and closing information of the electric door of the vehicle and the occupant information of the preset seat corresponding to the electric door of the vehicle are obtained.

[0054] In S102 , when the opening information indicates that the electric door is in an open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched, and the occupant information indicates that no one is sitting in the preset seat, the electric door is controlled to change from a locked state to an unlocked state.

[0055] In S301, when the electric door is in the unlocked state within the preset time period, the opening information indicates that the electric door is in the closed state, and the occupant information indicates that no one is sitting in the preset seat, the electric door is controlled to change from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, after controlling the electric door to change from an unlocked state to a locked state, the electric door control device can continuously monitor whether the electric door is always unlocked, whether the electric door is always closed, and whether there is anyone in the preset seat with the electric door, in order to prevent the electric door from being in the unlocked state and causing other people to enter the vehicle. If the electric door is in the unlocked state within a preset time period, the opening information indicates that the electric door is closed, and the occupant information indicates that no one is in the preset seat, the electric door is controlled to change from the unlocked state to the locked state. For example, the preset time period can be set to 2 minutes.

[0057] The embodiment of the present application can control the electric door to change from unlocked to locked state if the electric door is in unlocked state within a preset time period, the opening information indicates that the electric door is in closed state, and the occupant information indicates that no one is occupying the preset seat. This prevents other people from entering the vehicle due to the electric door being in unlocked state.

[0058] Figure 4 This is a flow chart of the control method of the electric door provided by the embodiment of the present application, based on Figure 1 , Figure 1 S101 in the above can be realized by S401 to S403, which will be combined with Figure 4 The steps shown are explained.

[0059] In S401 , a first real-time message sent by a door controller and a second real-time message sent by a seat controller are received.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the control device of the electric door can receive in real time a first real-time message sent by the door controller and a second real-time message sent by the seat controller.

[0061] Here, the door controller (DCU) can collect real-time information about the opening degree of the electric door, which is used to represent the degree of opening of the electric door. In some embodiments, the opening degree information can be expressed as a percentage of the electric door opening. When the opening degree information is greater than or equal to a preset opening degree information, it can be determined that the electric door is open. For example, the preset opening degree information can be 1%. The door controller can also collect the on / off signal of the electric switch in real time, and simultaneously encapsulate the collected opening degree information and the opening degree information into a first real-time message, which is then sent to the control device of the electric door.

[0062] Here, the seat control unit (SCU) can collect information about the occupant of a preset seat in real time. In some embodiments, the seat control unit is provided with a pressure sensor, which can collect the pressure value of the preset seat in real time through the pressure sensor, encapsulate the collected pressure value into a second real-time message, and then send the second real-time message to the control device of the electric door.

[0063] Here, the first real-time message and the second real-time message may be Controller Area Network (CAN) messages. In some embodiments, the first real-time message and the second real-time message may be data frames in CAN messages.

[0064] In S402, the first real-time message is parsed to obtain opening information and a switch signal.

[0065] In S403, the second real-time message is parsed to obtain the personnel information of the preset seats.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, the control device of the electric door can parse the first real-time message to obtain opening information and switch signals after receiving the first real-time message and the second real-time message, and parse the second real-time message to obtain personnel information of the preset seat.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, after receiving the first real-time message and the second real-time message, the control device of the electric door obtains the parsing parameters corresponding to the controller that sent the real-time message. When the first real-time message sent by the door controller is received, the parsing parameters corresponding to the door controller can be obtained, and then the first real-time message is parsed based on the parsing parameters corresponding to the door controller to obtain the opening information and the switch signal. When the second real-time message sent by the seat controller is received, the parsing parameters corresponding to the seat controller can be obtained, and then the second real-time message is parsed based on the parsing parameters corresponding to the seat controller to obtain the occupant information of the preset seat. The parsing parameters can be the starting address and ending address of the data segment containing data in the real-time message. In this way, the control device of the electric door can realize real-time monitoring of the electric door and the preset occupant information through the door controller and the seat controller.

[0068] Figure 5 This is a flow chart of the control method of the electric door provided by the embodiment of the present application, based on Figure 1 , Figure 1 S101 can be realized by S501, which will be combined with Figure 5 The steps shown are explained.

[0069] In S501 , when the vehicle speed information is zero, the opening and closing information of the vehicle's electric door and the occupant information of the preset seat corresponding to the vehicle's electric door are obtained.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, the control device of the electric door can first obtain the current speed information of the vehicle through the speed sensor. When the speed information is zero, it is determined that the vehicle has stopped and the people in the vehicle may open the electric door to get off. At this time, the switch information of the vehicle's electric door and the personnel information of the preset seat corresponding to the electric door are obtained, and the steps of identifying the opening method of the electric door are started.

[0071] In this embodiment of the present application, upon determining that the vehicle has stopped, the vehicle's electric door opening and closing information and the information of the person in the preset seat can be obtained, thereby initiating the step of identifying the electric door opening method. Thus, in this embodiment of the present application, the electric door opening and closing information and the information of the person in the preset seat are only obtained when the person in the vehicle is likely to exit the vehicle. This avoids obtaining relevant information when the person in the vehicle is unlikely to exit the vehicle, thereby reducing the computational cost of the controller.

[0072] In some embodiments, before S101, the control method of the electric door may also include: when the vehicle speed information is less than or equal to the preset speed, controlling the door controller to collect the switch information of the electric door in real time, and controlling the seat controller to collect the personnel information of the preset seat in real time.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, the control device for the electric door can control the timing of the door controller and the seat controller to collect information. In a scenario where the occupants of the vehicle will not get off the vehicle, the door controller and the seat controller do not need to monitor the electric door and the preset seats. For example, when the vehicle's current speed is very fast, the occupants will obviously not open the electric door, and at this time, there is no need to collect the opening and closing information of the electric door and the information of the occupants of the preset seats. Therefore, the control device for the electric door can first obtain the current speed of the vehicle. If the current speed is less than or equal to the preset speed, it means that the vehicle's speed is low and may stop. At this time, the door controller can be controlled to collect the opening and closing information of the electric door in real time, and the seat controller can be controlled to collect the occupants of the preset seats in real time.

[0074] The embodiment of the present application can determine the timing for the door controller to collect power door opening and closing information based on vehicle speed information, and the timing for the seat controller to collect information about the person in the preset seat. This improves the accuracy of the door controller and seat controller in collecting relevant information.

[0075] Figure 6 This is a flow chart of the method for controlling an electric door provided by the embodiment of the present application, which will be combined with Figure 6The steps shown are explained.

[0076] In S601 , the vehicle body controller receives a communication message sent by the electric door opening and closing controller.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the electric door opening and closing controller can detect the vehicle door opening and the door opening button signal in real time, and transmit the vehicle door opening detection result and the door opening button signal to the BDC through the CAN communication message.

[0078] In S602 , the vehicle body controller receives the communication message sent by the driver's seat controller.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the driver's seat controller can detect in real time whether there is someone in the driver's seat, and transmit the detection result to the BDC via a CAN communication message.

[0080] In S603 , when no unlocking instruction is received, the door opening button signal is not pressed, and the vehicle door is opened, the body controller controls the vehicle door lock to change from a locked state to an unlocked state.

[0081] The unlocking instruction in the embodiment of the present application may include at least one of the following unlocking instructions: remote unlocking, Bluetooth key unlocking, digital key unlocking, and NFC key unlocking. When the door opening degree is ≥1%, it is determined that the vehicle door is opened.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle driver uses the door mechanical escape switch to open the door and get off the vehicle, the BDC determines that no unlocking command has been received, the door opening button signal is not pressed, the door opening degree is ≥1% (indicating that the vehicle door is open), and there is no one in the driver's seat, then the BDC controls the vehicle door lock from a locked state to an unlocked state, so that when the driver uses the door mechanical escape switch to open the door and get off the vehicle, and closes the door, and wants to use the vehicle again immediately, the vehicle door lock is already unlocked at this time, and the door can be opened normally by pulling the vehicle door handle, thereby solving the "vehicle self-locking" fault.

[0083] In S604, after the vehicle door lock is unlocked, if the vehicle door lock is in the unlocked state within a preset time period, the vehicle door is closed, and there is no one in the driver's seat, the body controller controls the vehicle door lock to change from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to prevent the driver from using the mechanical escape switch of the vehicle door to open the door, get off the vehicle, and then close the door, the vehicle is always in the unlocked state. If the driver does not use the vehicle immediately, other people can also open the door and get on the vehicle, causing property damage in the vehicle, it is necessary to control the vehicle door lock from the locked state to the unlocked state. After determining that the vehicle door state is always unlocked within a certain period of time (for example, 2 minutes) and the door opening is <1% (indicating that the vehicle door is closed) and there is no one in the main driver's seat, the BDC controls the vehicle door lock from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0085] The embodiment of the present application provides a control device for an electric door. Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of a control method 700 for an electric door provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the device includes: an acquisition unit 701 and a control unit 702, wherein:

[0086] An acquisition unit 701 is configured to acquire the switch information of the electric door of the vehicle and the occupant information of the preset seat corresponding to the electric door of the vehicle; the switch information includes the opening information and the switch signal;

[0087] The control unit 702 is used to control the electric door from a locked state to an unlocked state when the opening information indicates that the electric door is in an open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched, and the personnel information indicates that there is no one in the preset seat.

[0088] In some embodiments, the control unit 702 is also used to control the electric door from a locked state to an unlocked state when the opening information indicates that the electric door is in an open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched, no control instruction for opening the electric door is received, and the personnel information indicates that there is no one in the preset seat; the control instruction includes at least one of the following: a remote unlocking instruction, a Bluetooth unlocking instruction, a digital unlocking instruction, and a near-field communication unlocking instruction.

[0089] In some embodiments, the control unit 702 is also used to control the electric door from the unlocked state to the locked state when the electric door is in the unlocked state within a preset time period, the opening information indicates that the electric door is in the closed state, and the personnel information indicates that there is no one in the preset seat.

[0090] In some embodiments, the device further includes: a determination unit; the determination unit is used to determine that the opening information indicates that the electric door is in an open state when the opening information is greater than or equal to the preset opening information; and to determine that the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched when the switch signal is a low-level signal.

[0091] In some embodiments, the acquisition unit 701 is used to receive a first real-time message sent by the door controller and a second real-time message sent by the seat controller; parse the first real-time message to obtain the opening information and the switch signal; and parse the second real-time message to obtain the personnel information of the preset seat.

[0092] In some embodiments, the acquisition unit 701 is used to acquire the opening and closing information of the vehicle's electric door and the occupant information of the preset seat corresponding to the vehicle's electric door when the vehicle speed information is zero.

[0093] In some embodiments, the control unit 702 is also used to control the door controller to collect the switch information of the electric door in real time, and to control the seat controller to collect the personnel information of the preset seat in real time when the vehicle speed information is less than or equal to the preset speed.

[0094] The acquisition unit of the electric door control device in the embodiment of the present application can acquire the switch information of the vehicle's electric door and the occupant information of the preset seat corresponding to the electric door; the control unit controls the electric door to change from a locked state to an unlocked state when the opening information indicates that the electric door is in an open state, the switch signal indicates that the electric switch is not touched, and the occupant information indicates that no one is in the preset seat. In this way, when the electric door is in an open state and the electric switch is not touched, it can be indicated that the vehicle's electric door was not opened in a normal manner by the electric switch, thereby determining that the occupant has used the mechanical escape switch. If no one is in the preset seat, it means that the occupant is ready to get off the vehicle. At this time, the electric door can be controlled to change from a locked state to an unlocked state, thereby avoiding the "vehicle self-locking" phenomenon in which the occupant mistakenly uses the door's mechanical escape switch to open the door, gets off the vehicle, closes the door, and then cannot open the door by pulling the vehicle door handle again.
