Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0051] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0052] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for identifying the position of an eye point, combining Figure 1 As shown in the flowchart, the method for identifying the eye point position includes steps 101 to 103:

[0053] Step 101: Determine whether the vehicle is in driving state;

[0054] In this embodiment, the method for identifying the eye point position can be performed by a controller in the vehicle, which is a controller or control unit installed in the vehicle body. When executing this method, it is first necessary to determine whether the vehicle is in a driving state. Only when the vehicle is in a driving state will the step of eye point recognition continue. If the vehicle is not in a driving state, the subsequent recognition steps will not be performed.

[0055] The driving state refers to the state in which the vehicle is or is about to be in driving. The steps of determining whether the vehicle is in the driving state may include:

[0056] Get the gear status of the vehicle;

[0057] If the gear position is D or R, the vehicle enters the driving state.

[0058] Among them, there are four common gear states of vehicles, namely parking gear P gear, neutral gear N gear, forward gear D gear and reverse gear R gear. The controller will obtain the gear state of the vehicle and make a judgment based on the gear state. If the gear state of the vehicle is D gear or R gear, it means that the vehicle is in driving state, the passengers have adjusted their sitting posture, and the controller can identify the eye point position. If the gear state of the vehicle is P gear or N gear, it means that the vehicle is not in driving state, for example, the vehicle may be parked on the side of the road or the vehicle may be parked and waiting. In these scenarios, the controller may have completed the recognition of the eye point position, or there is no need to perform eye point position recognition.

[0059] Step 102: If the vehicle enters the driving state, the seat height, the seat angle, and the lateral distance between the seat and the footrest are obtained;

[0060] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the vehicle has entered the driving state, it means that the passenger's eye position needs to be recognized. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, when identifying the eye point position, the seat height H1, the seat angle A, and the lateral distance L1 between the seat and the footrest point need to be obtained first. The above data are measurable.

[0061] It should be noted that although different passengers have different heights, after the passenger is adjusted on the seat, the adjusted seat height H1 can be roughly regarded as the height of the passenger's hip point H. After the seat is adjusted forward and backward, the distance from the footrest to the H point on the X axis is the lateral distance L1. The angle between the seat back and the seat bottom is the seat angle.

[0062] These data can be measured when a passenger adjusts his or her sitting position in the seat.

[0063] Step 103: Determine the eye point position of the passenger according to the seat height, seat angle, lateral distance and a preset eye point database; wherein the eye point database is a functional relationship between the hip point height and the eye point position for different passenger heights.

[0064] Among them, the eye point database includes the functional relationship between the hip point and the eye point position of people of different heights. This embodiment takes into account the height range of most passengers. For example, the height range of passengers can be set to 1.5 meters to 1.9 meters. This height range can cover the height of most passengers. Within this range, for each specific height value that needs to establish a functional relationship, this embodiment will perform a large number of population statistics to determine some typical characteristics of the height personnel. For example, the height of the hip point.

[0065] It is not difficult to understand that in the eye point database, the functional relationship between the hip point and the eye point position may be different for passengers of different heights. When the passenger sits on the seat, the controller can obtain the seat height, lateral distance and seat angle, but the controller does not know the passenger's actual height. Therefore, it is necessary to use the above data to infer the passenger's height, so as to determine the target functional relationship in different functional relationships, so as to finally determine the eye point position. In an optional embodiment, the step of determining the eye point may include:

[0066] According to the seat height and lateral distance, the objective function relationship is determined from the functional relationship of different passenger heights;

[0067] According to the relationship between seat height, seat angle and objective function, the passenger's eye point position is determined.

[0068] Specifically, the functional relationship includes a first sub-function relationship, a second sub-function relationship, and a third sub-function relationship. It should be noted that the first sub-function relationship, the second sub-function relationship, and the third sub-function relationship corresponding to each passenger height are obtained by statistically testing a large number of people of the same height, firstly measuring the corresponding first lateral distance, second lateral distance, seat height, and longitudinal height, and then fitting the first sub-function relationship, the second sub-function relationship, and the third sub-function relationship based on the measured data. According to experimental statistics, the first sub-function relationship, the second sub-function relationship, and the third sub-function relationship obtained by fitting are mostly quadratic functions.

[0069] The objective function relationship is determined from a large number of function relationships. The passenger height corresponding to the objective function relationship is theoretically closest to the passenger's actual height. Among them, for a certain passenger height, the first sub-function relationship is used to represent the relationship between the seat height H1 and the first lateral distance L1 obtained based on statistical experiments. The second sub-function relationship is used to represent the relationship between the seat angle and the second lateral distance L2 obtained based on statistical experiments. The third sub-function relationship is used to represent the relationship between the seat angle and the longitudinal height H2 obtained based on statistical experiments.

[0070] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the vehicle body coordinate system is established with the footrest point as the origin, the X axis represents the lateral direction, and the Z axis represents the longitudinal direction. The first lateral distance L1 mentioned above refers to the lateral distance on the X axis from the H point to the footrest point calculated by the first functional relationship; the second lateral distance L2 refers to the lateral distance on the X axis from the eye point to the H point calculated by the second functional relationship; the longitudinal height H2 refers to the longitudinal height on the Z axis from the eye point to the H point calculated by the third functional relationship.

[0071] In an optional implementation, the step of determining the objective function relationship may include:

[0072] According to the seat height, the first sub-function relationship of different passenger heights is substituted into the eye point database to obtain multiple matching distances;

[0073] According to the lateral distance, a target distance and a first sub-function relationship corresponding to the target distance are determined from a plurality of matching distances;

[0074] According to the first sub-function relationship corresponding to the target distance, the target function relationship is determined from the function relationships of different passenger heights.

[0075] Among them, after the controller obtains the seat height, the seat height can be brought into the first sub-function relationship in all function relationships respectively, which is equivalent to traversing the first sub-function relationship corresponding to all heights, so as to calculate multiple matching distances. The controller also obtains the actual lateral distance between the passenger's crotch point and the footrest point, and by comparing the obtained lateral distance with each matching distance, the matching distance closest to the lateral distance is determined, and the matching distance is used as the target distance. Then the first sub-function relationship corresponding to the target distance can be obtained, and then the corresponding function relationship can be determined, which is the target function relationship. The first lateral distance obtained by the target function relationship is closest to the actual measured lateral distance, which can be understood as the height corresponding to the target function relationship is the closest to the actual passenger. The eye point position is solved by other sub-function relationships in the target function relationship, and the result obtained is also the closest to the actual eye point position.

[0076] In an optional implementation, the step of determining the eye point position of the passenger may include:

[0077] Determine a first lateral distance L1 according to the seat height and the first functional sub-relationship;

[0078] Determine and obtain a second lateral distance L2 according to the seat angle and the second functional sub-relationship;

[0079] According to the seat angle and the third functional sub-relationship, the longitudinal height H2 is determined;

[0080] The eye point position of the passenger is determined according to the seat height, the longitudinal height, the first lateral distance and the second lateral distance.

[0081] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 As shown, in the vehicle body coordinate system established with the footrest as the origin, the lateral distance of the eye point on the X axis can be regarded as the sum of the first lateral distance L1 and the second lateral distance L2, that is, the lateral distance of the eye point from the footrest is determined based on the first lateral distance and the second lateral distance. Correspondingly, the longitudinal height of the eye point on the Z axis can be regarded as the sum of the seat height H1 and the longitudinal height H2, that is, the longitudinal height of the eye point from the footrest is determined based on the seat height and the longitudinal height. The eye point position in the vehicle body coordinate system can be determined by the lateral distance of the eye point and the longitudinal height of the eye point.

[0082] In addition, considering that the passenger will adjust the instrument to the center of the visual area of ​​the steering wheel when driving, after determining the eye point position according to the objective function relationship, this embodiment can also use the steering wheel position and the instrument position to further correct the eye point position.

[0083] In an optional implementation, the correction step may include:

[0084] Get the steering wheel position and instrument position;

[0085] Determine the upper and lower visible boundaries based on the steering wheel position and instrument position;

[0086] If the eye point position is not on the center bisector of the upper and lower visual boundaries, the vertical height of the eye point is corrected until the eye point position is on the center bisector of the upper and lower visual boundaries.

[0087] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the controller can obtain the steering wheel position and the instrument position, and then determine the upper and lower visible boundaries 22 and 23 of the instrument. Further, the center bisector 24 of the upper visible boundary 22 and the lower visible boundary 23 is taken. In order to ensure the visual effect of the passenger on the instrument panel, the passenger's eye point will fall on the center bisector 24. Therefore, the eye point position obtained above and the center bisector 24 can be combined for comparison and correction. If the eye point position coincides with the center bisector 24, no correction is required. If not, it is fitted to the center bisector 24.

[0088] Also, see Figure 4 Based on the above steps, after obtaining the passenger eye point position, the controller can also calculate the corresponding sunshade angle B, including the sunshade angle B1 when the sun visor is in the initial position, and the optimal sunshade angle B2 at the optimal target position (this angle can be calibrated in advance by the evaluation method). If B1=B2, the sun visor device is not driven to move forward along the direction of the roof. If B1>B2, the sun visor device is driven to move forward along the direction of the roof until the sunshade angle is equal to the B2 position. If B2>B1, the sun visor device is driven to move backward along the direction of the roof until the sunshade angle is equal to the B2 position.

[0089] In summary, the embodiment of this specification provides a method for identifying the eye point position, which determines whether the vehicle is in a driving state; if the vehicle is in a driving state, the seat height, seat angle and lateral distance between the seat and the footrest are obtained; the passenger's eye point position is determined based on the seat height, seat angle, lateral distance and a preset eye point database; in this way, the passenger's eye point position can be determined based on the vehicle's existing hardware system, providing a design basis and adjustment basis for intelligent equipment, while saving computing power costs.
