[0050] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of this application with unnecessary detail.

[0051] It should be understood that, when used in this application specification and the appended claims, the term "comprising" indicates the presence of the described features, integrals, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components and / or a collection thereof.

[0052] It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0053] As used in this application specification and the appended claims, the term "if" may be interpreted, depending on the context, as "when," "once," "in response to determination," or "in response to detection." Similarly, the phrase "if determined" or "if detected [the described condition or event]" may be interpreted, depending on the context, as meaning "once determined," "in response to determination," "once detected [the described condition or event]," or "in response to detection [the described condition or event]."

[0054] Furthermore, in the description of this application and the appended claims, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0055] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" as described in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0056] It should be noted that in all embodiments of this application, the vehicle may be a vehicle containing at least three rows of seats.

[0057] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the implementation of a vehicle seat adjustment method according to an embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, the vehicle seat adjustment method is executed by an in-vehicle terminal. The in-vehicle terminal can be a smart seat control module (SCM) or a smart cockpit controller; no limitation is made here.

[0058] It should be noted that the intelligent cockpit controller is one of the core components inside a car, integrating multiple functions, including but not limited to entertainment, navigation, air conditioning, and seat adjustment.

[0059] The intelligent seat controller is a vehicle comfort control module that enables functions such as 14-way seat posture adjustment. Based on human-machine interaction and central vehicle control, the intelligent seat controller is compatible with various application scenarios and can automatically adjust the posture and space of the front and rear seats in the cabin, such as facilitating easy entry and exit from the second and third rows.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, a vehicle seat adjustment method provided in one embodiment of this application may include S101 to S104, which are detailed below:

[0061] In S101, the vehicle door to be opened is identified.

[0062] In practical applications, when people inside the vehicle need to get off, or people outside the vehicle need to get on, they can send a seat adjustment request to the vehicle to facilitate getting on and off.

[0063] In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted terminal detects a seat adjustment request by detecting a preset operation for the vehicle. The preset operation can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here. For example, the preset operation could be clicking a preset button in the vehicle or the door handle being pulled open. Therefore, when the vehicle-mounted terminal detects that a preset button in the vehicle has been clicked or the door handle has been pulled open, it indicates that a preset operation for the vehicle has been detected; that is, the vehicle-mounted terminal has detected the aforementioned seat adjustment request.

[0064] After detecting the aforementioned seat adjustment request, the vehicle terminal can determine the vehicle door to be opened.

[0065] In one embodiment of this application, since the vehicle is equipped with buttons to control each door, the vehicle terminal can determine that the door to be opened is the door when it detects that the button for a certain door has been triggered.

[0066] In another embodiment of this application, the vehicle terminal can also determine that the door is open when it detects that the handle of a door is pulled open.

[0067] In another embodiment of this application, when a person is outside the vehicle and has not triggered any of the aforementioned buttons or touched any handle, the vehicle terminal can determine the door to be opened according to the following steps, detailed below:

[0068] Detect the location information of a second person who is outside the vehicle and whose distance from the vehicle is less than or equal to a fourth threshold.

[0069] Based on the location information, determine the target door among all the doors of the vehicle whose distance from the second person is less than or equal to a fifth threshold.

[0070] The target car door is identified as the car door to be opened.

[0071] In one implementation of this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted terminal can capture video of the area around the vehicle using a camera wirelessly connected to the vehicle, obtaining a target video. The vehicle-mounted terminal can then determine whether other personnel are outside the vehicle based on the target video. If other personnel are determined to be outside the vehicle, the terminal determines the location information of a second person who is outside the vehicle and whose distance from the vehicle is less than or equal to a fourth threshold. The fourth threshold can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0072] Based on this, the vehicle terminal can determine the target vehicle door whose distance from the second person is less than or equal to the fifth threshold according to the above location information, and identify the target vehicle as the door to be opened. The fifth threshold can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0073] In S102, the seat to be adjusted is determined based on the door to be opened.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, in order to expand the space for people to move around and make it easier for people to get on and off the vehicle from the door to be opened, the vehicle terminal can determine the seat to be adjusted based on the door to be opened.

[0075] In practical applications, vehicles typically include a first row of doors and a second row of doors.

[0076] It should be noted that there can be one or more seats to be adjusted. For example, if the door to be opened is the first door in the first row, located at the driver's seat, then the seat to be adjusted can be the driver's seat in the first row; if the door to be opened is the second door in the second row, located at the front passenger seat, then the seat to be adjusted can be the front passenger seat in the first row or the front passenger seat in the second row.

[0077] In one embodiment of this application, the vehicle-mounted terminal can specifically be via, as shown in the example below. Figure 2Steps S201 to S202, which show the determination of the seat to be adjusted, are detailed below:

[0078] In S201, when the door to be opened is the first row door of the vehicle, the seat to be adjusted is the first seat in the first row of the vehicle whose distance from the door to be opened is less than or equal to a first threshold.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the vehicle terminal detects that the door to be opened is the first row door, in order to increase the distance between the door to be opened and the seat near the door to be opened, so as to increase the activity space for people and facilitate people getting on and off the vehicle, the vehicle terminal can determine that the seat to be adjusted is the first seat in the first row of the vehicle whose distance from the door to be opened is less than or equal to a first threshold.

[0080] The first threshold can be determined based on the initial straight-line distance between the door to be opened and the seat closest to the door. The initial straight-line distance refers to the straight-line distance between the door to be opened and the seat closest to the door when the vehicle leaves the factory.

[0081] In practical applications, since the first row of doors includes the first door located at the driver's seat and the third door located at the passenger seat, when the door to be opened is the first door, the vehicle terminal can determine that the seat to be adjusted is the driver's seat in the first row of seats, and when the door to be opened is the third door, the vehicle terminal can determine that the seat to be adjusted is the passenger seat in the first row of seats.

[0082] In S202, when the door to be opened is the second-row door of the vehicle, the seat to be adjusted is the second seat in the second row of the vehicle whose distance from the door to be opened is less than or equal to the first threshold, and the third seat in the first row of the vehicle whose distance from the door to be opened is less than or equal to the second threshold; the second threshold is greater than the first threshold.

[0083] In this embodiment, when the vehicle terminal detects that the door to be opened is a second-row door, in order to increase the distance between the door to be opened and the seat near the door, thereby increasing the space for passengers to move around and facilitating entry and exit, the vehicle terminal can determine that the seat to be adjusted is either the second seat in the second row of the vehicle whose distance from the door to be opened is less than or equal to a first threshold, or the third seat in the first row whose distance from the door to be opened is less than or equal to the second threshold. The second threshold can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0084] It should be noted that the third seat is the seat located directly in front of the second seat.

[0085] In practical applications, since the second-row doors include a fourth door located at the driver's second-row seat and a second door located at the passenger's second-row seat, when the door to be opened is the aforementioned fourth door, the vehicle terminal can determine that the seat to be adjusted is the driver's second-row seat in the second row and the driver's seat in the first row. When the door to be opened is the aforementioned second door, the vehicle terminal can determine that the seat to be adjusted is the passenger's second-row seat in the second row and the passenger's seat in the first row.

[0086] In S103, the direction of movement of the seat to be adjusted is determined based on the position area of ​​the seat to be adjusted in the vehicle and the door to be opened.

[0087] In this embodiment, since the position of the seat to be adjusted in the vehicle is different and the direction of movement is different when the door to be opened is different, the vehicle terminal can determine the direction of movement of the seat to be adjusted based on the position of the seat in the vehicle and the door to be opened.

[0088] It should be noted that the areas within the vehicle include, but are not limited to, the first-row seat area and the second-row seat area. Therefore, the on-board terminal can determine the direction of movement of the seat to be adjusted according to the following steps, detailed below:

[0089] When the location area is the first row of seats and the door to be opened is the first row door, the direction of movement is the direction of rearward movement.

[0090] When the location area is the second row of seats and the door to be opened is the second row door, the direction of movement is parallel to the straight line connecting the rear and front of the vehicle, and / or the direction in which the second seat points to the fourth seat in the second row of seats other than the second seat.

[0091] When the location area is the first row of seats and the door to be opened is the second row of doors, the direction of movement is forward.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the vehicle terminal detects that the area where the seat to be adjusted is located is the first row of seats and the door to be opened is the first row of doors, it means that the person needs to get on and off the vehicle from the first row of seats. Therefore, in order to expand the person's activity space and facilitate the person to get on and off the vehicle from the door to be opened, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement of the seat to be adjusted is the direction of movement backward.

[0093] It should be noted that the first row of seats includes, but is not limited to, a driver's area and a front passenger area.

[0094] When the vehicle terminal detects that the area where the seat to be adjusted is located is the second row of seats and the door to be opened is the second row of doors, it means that people need to get on and off the vehicle from the second row of seats. Therefore, in order to expand the people's movement space and facilitate people getting on and off the vehicle from the door to be opened, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement of the seat to be adjusted is parallel to the straight line connecting the rear and front of the vehicle and away from the door to be opened, and / or the direction of the second seat pointing towards the fourth seat in the second row other than the second seat.

[0095] It should be noted that the second-row seating area includes, but is not limited to, the second-row driver's area and the second-row front passenger area.

[0096] The direction parallel to the straight line connecting the rear and front of the vehicle can be either the direction of forward movement or the direction of backward movement.

[0097] When the vehicle terminal detects that the area where the seat to be adjusted is located is the first row of seats and the door to be opened is the second row of doors, it means that the person needs to get on and off the vehicle from the second row of seats. Therefore, in order to further expand the person's activity space and facilitate the person to get on and off the vehicle from the door to be opened, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement of the seat to be adjusted is the forward direction.

[0098] For example, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the distribution of vehicle seats according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown in (a), when the vehicle has two rows of seats, the seat distribution areas include a first-row driver's area A, a first-row passenger area B, a second-row driver's area C, and a second-row passenger area D. In this case, when the seat to be adjusted is located in area B (i.e., the first-row passenger seat), and the door to be opened is door 10 near area B, to facilitate the entry and exit of passengers in the first row from door 10, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement for the first-row passenger seat is backward movement. Figure 3 In the image, arrow L1 (a) points in the direction of movement. When the area where the seat to be adjusted is located is area D, i.e., the seat to be adjusted is the second-row front passenger seat, and the door to be opened is door 20, which is near area D, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of second-row passengers from door 20, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement of the second-row front passenger seat is backward movement. Figure 3 In the diagram, arrow L2 (a) points in the direction of movement. When the area where the seat to be adjusted is located is area B, i.e., the seat to be adjusted is the first-row front passenger seat, and the door to be opened is door 20 near area D, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of second-row passengers from door 20, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement of the first-row front passenger seat is forward. Figure 3(a) The direction pointed to by arrow L3.

[0099] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown in (b), when the vehicle has three rows of seats, the seat distribution areas include a first-row driver's area A, a first-row passenger area B, a second-row driver's area C, a second-row passenger area D, a third-row driver's area E, a third-row middle area F, and a third-row passenger area G. In this case, when the seat to be adjusted is located in area B (i.e., the first-row passenger seat), and the door to be opened is door 10 near area B, to facilitate the entry and exit of passengers in the first row from door 10, the on-board terminal can determine that the direction of movement for the first-row passenger seat is backward movement. Figure 3 (b) The direction pointed to by arrow L4; when the area where the seat to be adjusted is located is area D, that is, the seat to be adjusted is the second-row front passenger seat, and the door to be opened is door 20 near area D, in order to facilitate the second-row passengers to get in and out of the vehicle from door 20, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement of the second-row front passenger seat is the rearward direction, that is... Figure 3 (b) The direction pointed to by arrow L5; when the area where the seat to be adjusted is located is area D, that is, the seat to be adjusted is the second-row front passenger seat, and the door to be opened is door 20 near area D, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of third-row passengers from door 20, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement of the second-row front passenger seat is forward, that is... Figure 3 In the direction indicated by arrow L6 in (b), the vehicle terminal can also determine that the movement direction of the second-row front passenger seat is to the left. Figure 3 (b) The direction pointed to by arrow L7; when the area where the seat to be adjusted is located is area B, that is, the seat to be adjusted is the first-row front passenger seat, and the door to be opened is door 20 near area D, in order to facilitate the second and third row passengers to get on and off the vehicle from door 20, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement of the first-row front passenger seat is the forward direction, that is... Figure 3 (b) The direction pointed to by arrow L8.

[0100] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown in (c), when the vehicle has three rows of seats, the seat distribution areas include a first-row driver's area A, a first-row front passenger area B, a second-row driver's area C, a second-row middle area H, a second-row front passenger area D, a third-row driver's area E, a third-row middle area F, and a third-row front passenger area G. In this case, when the seat to be adjusted is located in area B (i.e., the first-row front passenger seat), and the door to be opened is door 10 near area B, to facilitate the entry and exit of passengers in the first row from door 10, the on-board terminal can determine that the direction of movement for the first-row front passenger seat is backward movement. Figure 3 The direction indicated by arrow L9 (c) in the diagram; when the seat to be adjusted is located in area D, i.e., the seat to be adjusted is the second-row front passenger seat, and the door to be opened is door 20, which is near area D, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of second-row passengers from door 20, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement of all seats in the second row is the rearward direction, i.e. Figure 3 The direction indicated by arrow L10 (c) in the diagram; when the area where the seat to be adjusted is located is area D, that is, the seat to be adjusted is the second-row front passenger seat, and the door to be opened is door 20 near area D, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of third-row passengers from door 20, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement of all seats in the second row is forward, that is... Figure 3 The direction indicated by arrow L11 (c) in the diagram; when the area where the seat to be adjusted is located is area B, that is, the seat to be adjusted is the first-row front passenger seat, and the door to be opened is door 20 near area D, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of second-row and third-row passengers from door 20, the vehicle terminal can determine that the direction of movement of the first-row front passenger seat is forward, that is... Figure 3 The direction pointed to by arrow L12 in (c).

[0101] In S104, the seat to be adjusted is controlled to move in the moving direction.

[0102] In this embodiment of the application, after determining the direction of movement of the seat to be adjusted, the vehicle terminal can control the seat to be adjusted to move in that direction to expand the activity space for people and make it easier for people to get on and off the vehicle from the door to be opened.

[0103] For example, suppose a vehicle includes three rows of seats: a driver's seat, a front passenger seat, a second-row driver's seat, a second-row front passenger seat, a third-row driver's seat, a third-row front passenger seat, and a middle seat in the third row. When the door to be opened is the third door in the first row, located at the front passenger seat, the seat to be adjusted is the front passenger seat. In this case, the on-board terminal can control the front passenger seat to move backward. When the door to be opened is the second door in the second row, located at the front passenger seat, the seats to be adjusted are the front passenger seat and the second-row front passenger seat. In this case, the on-board terminal can control the front passenger seat to move forward, and control the second-row front passenger seat to move forward or backward. At the same time, it can also control the second-row front passenger seat to move towards the second-row driver's seat.

[0104] It should be noted that, in order to further expand the space between seats, the vehicle terminal can also control the backrest of the seat to be adjusted to return to its initial state when controlling the movement of the seat to be adjusted, so as to maximize the space for people to move around.

[0105] In one embodiment of this application, when the vehicle terminal detects that a second person who needs to get on the vehicle has taken a seat, or a third person who needs to get off the vehicle has gotten off, it can control the seat to be adjusted to return to its initial position.

[0106] It should be noted that each seat in the vehicle is equipped with a seat sensor. Therefore, the vehicle terminal can determine the target seat for a second person to sit in through the seat sensors that are wirelessly connected to it.

[0107] As can be seen from the above, the vehicle seat adjustment method provided in this application involves: determining the vehicle door to be opened; determining the seat to be adjusted based on the vehicle door; determining the direction of movement of the seat based on its position area in the vehicle; and controlling the seat to be adjusted to move in the direction of movement. Compared with the prior art for adjusting the seats of occupants, the method provided in this application, after determining the vehicle door to be opened, can flexibly determine the seat to be adjusted based on the vehicle door, flexibly determine its corresponding direction of movement based on its position area, and finally control the seat to be adjusted to move in that direction to increase the distance between the vehicle door to be opened and the seat to be adjusted, thereby expanding the space for occupants to move and facilitating their entry and exit from the vehicle door.

[0108] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is another embodiment of the vehicle seat adjustment method provided in this application. Relative to... Figure 1 In a corresponding embodiment, when passengers need to get out of the vehicle, in order to expand the passenger space and facilitate disembarkation, the vehicle seat adjustment method in this embodiment may further include S301 to S303, as detailed below:

[0109] In S301, if it is detected that the first person in the vehicle is performing a standing action, it is determined that the first person was in the fifth seat before performing the standing action.

[0110] In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted terminal can detect whether the first person in the vehicle has stood up, i.e., whether the first person has left their seat, through the vehicle's Occupant Monitoring System (OMS). Here, the first person refers to any person in the vehicle.

[0111] When the vehicle terminal detects that the first person in the vehicle is standing up, it indicates that the first person needs to get out of the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle terminal can determine the fifth seat where the first person was before standing up, that is, determine the seat where the first person sat before.

[0112] In S302, if there is a sixth seat in the vehicle whose distance from the fifth seat is less than or equal to a third threshold, a seat movement strategy is determined based on the positional relationship between the fifth seat and the sixth seat; the seat movement strategy includes the seat to be moved and a first direction of movement of the seat to be moved.

[0113] In this embodiment, after determining that the fifth seat was occupied before the first person, the vehicle terminal can detect whether there is a sixth seat in the vehicle whose distance from the fourth seat is less than or equal to a third threshold.

[0114] The third threshold can be determined based on the distance between the fifth seat and other seats in the same row as the fifth seat and adjacent to the row number of the fifth seat.

[0115] For example, assuming the fifth seat is the second-row front passenger seat, the third threshold can be determined based on the distance between the second-row front passenger seat and the third-row front passenger seat, or it can be determined based on the distance between the second-row front passenger seat and the first-row front passenger seat.

[0116] In this embodiment, when the vehicle terminal detects a sixth seat in the vehicle whose distance from the fifth seat is less than or equal to a third threshold, it can determine a seat movement strategy based on the positional relationship between the fifth and sixth seats. The seat movement strategy includes the seat to be moved and its direction of movement.

[0117] In one embodiment of this application, the vehicle terminal may determine the seat movement strategy through the following steps, detailed below:

[0118] If the positional relationship is such that the sixth seat is in front of the fifth seat, then the seat to be moved is determined to be the sixth seat, and the first direction is determined to be the direction away from the fifth seat;

[0119] If the positional relationship is such that the sixth seat is located behind the fifth seat, then the seat to be moved is determined to be the fifth seat, and the first direction is determined to be the direction closer to the sixth seat.

[0120] In this embodiment, when the vehicle terminal detects that the sixth seat is located in front of the fifth seat, in order to expand the activity space for the first occupant and facilitate their disembarkation, the vehicle terminal can determine that the seat to be moved is the sixth seat, and determine the first direction as the direction away from the fifth seat. Specifically, when the fifth and sixth seats are facing each other, the direction away from the fifth seat can be a backward movement direction; when the fifth and sixth seats are not facing each other, the direction away from the fifth seat can be a forward movement direction. A facing-each-other direction means that the occupant seated in the fifth seat and the occupant seated in the sixth seat are facing each other.

[0121] When the vehicle terminal detects that the sixth seat is located behind the fifth seat, in order to expand the first occupant's living space and facilitate their disembarkation, the vehicle terminal can determine that the seat to be moved is the fifth seat and determine that the first direction is the direction of moving towards the sixth seat. Specifically, when the fifth and sixth seats are facing each other, the direction of moving towards the sixth seat can be the forward direction; when the fifth and sixth seats are not facing each other, the direction of moving towards the sixth seat can be the backward direction.

[0122] For example, suppose a vehicle has three rows of seats: a driver's seat, a front passenger seat, a second-row driver's seat, a second-row front passenger seat, a third-row driver's seat, a third-row front passenger seat, and a middle seat in the third row. When the fifth seat is the third-row front passenger seat, the vehicle terminal can determine the seat movement strategy as follows: the seat to be adjusted is the second-row front passenger seat, and the first direction is away from the third-row front passenger seat.

[0123] In S303, according to the seat movement strategy, the seat to be moved is controlled to move in the first direction.

[0124] In this embodiment, after determining the seat movement strategy, that is, determining the seat to be moved and the first direction of the seat movement, the vehicle terminal can control the seat to be moved to move in the corresponding first direction to expand the activity space of the first person and improve the user experience.

[0125] It should be noted that, in order to further expand the space between the seats, when the vehicle terminal controls the seat to be moved to move in the first direction, it can also control the backrest of the seat to be moved to return to its initial state, so as to increase the space for people to move between the fourth and fifth seats.

[0126] In one embodiment of this application, when the seat to be moved is the sixth seat, in order to ensure the riding experience of the people in the sixth seat, the vehicle terminal can specifically implement step S203 through the following steps, detailed below:

[0127] Detect the second usage state of the sixth seat;

[0128] If the second usage state is unused, then control the sixth seat to move in the first direction.

[0129] In this embodiment, in order to avoid the control of the sixth seat affecting the third person sitting in the sixth seat, the vehicle terminal can detect the second usage state of the sixth seat after determining the seat movement strategy.

[0130] It should be noted that the second usage status includes, but is not limited to, "not in use" and "in use". "Not in use" describes that the person is not seated in the fifth seat, while "in use" describes that the person is seated in the sixth seat.

[0131] In this embodiment, when the vehicle terminal detects that the second usage state is unused, it indicates that no one is sitting in the sixth seat. Therefore, in order to further expand the space for people to move, the vehicle terminal can control the sixth seat to move in the first direction.

[0132] In this embodiment, when the vehicle terminal detects that the second usage state is in use, it indicates that a third person is seated in the sixth seat. At this time, in order to expand the activity space for the person while ensuring the comfort of the third person, the vehicle terminal can detect a first distance between the third person's legs and an obstacle in front of the sixth seat. When the first distance is detected to be greater than a sixth threshold, the vehicle terminal controls the sixth seat to move in a first direction until the first distance equals the sixth threshold. The sixth threshold can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here. For example, the fifth threshold can be 20cm.

[0133] In practical applications, since the driver's seat is the seat for the driver of the vehicle, it cannot be adjusted arbitrarily for the sake of driving safety. Therefore, in another embodiment of this application, when the seat to be adjusted is the sixth seat, that is, the sixth seat is located in front of the fifth seat, the vehicle terminal needs to detect whether the sixth seat is the driver's seat.

[0134] In this embodiment, when the vehicle terminal detects that the sixth seat is the driver's seat, the vehicle terminal can output a prompt message indicating that the sixth seat cannot be adjusted.

[0135] In another embodiment of this application, when the fifth seat is the seat behind the second row of seats in the vehicle, in order to facilitate the expansion of the human activity space, the vehicle terminal can detect whether all other people in the second row of seats have gotten off the vehicle, and when it is detected that all other people in the second row of seats have gotten off the vehicle, steps S302 to S303 are executed.

[0136] In another embodiment of this application, when the vehicle terminal detects that the first person has gotten off the vehicle, it can control the seat to be moved to return to its initial position.

[0137] As can be seen from the above, the vehicle seat adjustment method provided in this embodiment can determine the fourth seat where the first person was located before the action of standing up is detected when the first person in the vehicle performs the action of standing up is detected; and when a fifth seat is detected in the vehicle at a distance less than or equal to a third threshold from the third seat, a seat movement strategy is determined based on the positional relationship between the fourth seat and the fifth seat; the seat movement strategy includes the seat to be moved and a first direction of movement of the seat to be moved; finally, according to the seat movement strategy, the seat to be moved is controlled to move in the first direction to expand the activity space for the person and facilitate the person getting off the vehicle.

[0138] In one embodiment of this application, when the vehicle includes at least three rows of seats, and the second row has three seats, in order to further expand the passenger space and facilitate a fourth person located behind the second row of seats to exit through the door corresponding to the second row of seats, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is another embodiment of the vehicle seat adjustment method provided in this application. Relative to... Figure 4 In a corresponding embodiment, this embodiment may further include S401 to S402 after S301, as detailed below:

[0139] In S401, if the fifth seat is located behind the second row of seats in the vehicle, the first usage state of the second row of seats is detected.

[0140] In this embodiment, when the vehicle terminal detects that the fifth seat is behind the second row of seats, it indicates that the first person is behind the second row of seats. Since there are three seats in the second row, it means that there is no aisle between the second row of seats. Therefore, in order to widen the exit passage for people, the vehicle terminal can detect the first usage status of the second row of seats.

[0141] It should be noted that the first usage state includes, but is not limited to, "not in use" and "in use". "Not in use" describes that the person is not seated in the second row, while "in use" describes that the person is seated in the second row.

[0142] In one embodiment of this application, when the vehicle terminal detects that the first usage state is unused, it can execute step S402.

[0143] In another embodiment of this application, when the vehicle terminal detects that the first usage state is in use, it indicates that there are other people in the second row of seats. At this time, in order to expand the activity space of the people while ensuring the seating comfort of the other people, the vehicle terminal can detect the second distance between the legs of the other people and the obstacle in front of the second row of seats. When the second distance is detected to be greater than a sixth threshold, the vehicle terminal controls the second row of seats to move forward until the second distance is equal to the sixth threshold.

[0144] In S402, if the first usage state is unused, the second row of seats is controlled to move away from the fifth seat.

[0145] In this embodiment, when the vehicle terminal detects that the first usage state is unused, it means that no one is sitting in the second row of seats. Therefore, the vehicle terminal can control all the seats in the second row to move forward to facilitate people getting off the vehicle.

[0146] It should be noted that, in order to further expand the space between the seats, when the vehicle terminal controls all the seats in the second row to move forward, it can also control the backrests of the second row seats to return to their initial state, thereby expanding the space for people to move around when getting out of the vehicle.

[0147] In one embodiment of this application, when the vehicle terminal detects that the first usage state is "in use," it indicates that someone is seated in the second row of seats. At this time, in order to expand the person's activity space while ensuring their seating comfort, the vehicle terminal can detect a first distance between the person's legs and an obstacle in front of the second row of seats. When the first distance is detected to be greater than a fifth threshold, the vehicle terminal controls the second row of seats to move forward until the first distance equals the fifth threshold. The fifth threshold can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here; for example, the fifth threshold could be 20cm.

[0148] In another embodiment of this application, when the vehicle terminal detects that a person has boarded the vehicle and taken a seat, it can control the second row of seats to return to their initial position.

[0149] As can be seen from the above, the vehicle seat adjustment method provided in this embodiment detects the first usage state of the second row of seats when the fourth seat is detected behind the second row of seats in the vehicle; if the first usage state is unused, the second row of seats is controlled to move forward, thereby expanding the activity space for people to get out of the vehicle and making it easier for people to get out of the vehicle.

[0150] In another embodiment of this application, when the second row of seats is configured with two seats, there is an aisle between the two seats. Passengers in the third row can exit the vehicle through the aisle via the second row of seats from the door to be opened. In this case, after S301, the vehicle terminal can perform the following steps, detailed below:

[0151] If the fifth seat is a third-row seat in the vehicle, then the third distance between the fifth seat and the third-row window in the vehicle is detected;

[0152] If the third distance is less than or equal to the seventh threshold, then the seventh seat located in front of the fifth seat is controlled to move forward, and the eighth seat in the same row as the seventh seat is controlled to move backward.

[0153] In this embodiment, the seventh threshold can be determined based on the straight-line distance between the edge of the seat back of the seat near the third row window and the third row window.

[0154] When the vehicle terminal detects that the third distance is less than or equal to the seventh threshold, it indicates that the fourth seat is close to the third row window. Therefore, in order to further expand the space for passengers to get out of the vehicle, the vehicle terminal can control the seventh seat, which is located in front of the fifth seat, to move forward, and control the eighth seat, which is in the same row as the seventh seat, to move backward, so that the second row of seats are staggered, thereby expanding the space for passengers to get out of the vehicle.

[0155] For example, suppose a vehicle has three rows of seats: a driver's seat, a front passenger seat, a second-row driver's seat, a second-row front passenger seat, a third-row driver's seat, a third-row front passenger seat, and a middle seat in the third row. When the fifth seat is the third-row front passenger seat, after the on-board terminal controls the second-row front passenger seat to move forward, it can continue to control the second-row front passenger seat to move backward.

[0156] As can be seen from the above, the vehicle seat adjustment method provided in this embodiment can control the seventh seat located in front of the fifth seat to move forward, and control the eighth seat in the same row as the seventh seat to move backward, so that the seventh seat moving forward and the eighth seat moving backward can form a misalignment, expanding the space for people to move around and making it easier for people to get off the vehicle.

[0157] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
