TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent reminding, in particular to a vehicle cleaning reminding method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] When driving or parking outdoors, the car glass is always in contact with car exhaust, oil fume or insect carcass, etc. After a long time, a layer of oil film will form on the glass, which will affect the driving safety; especially on rainy and snowy nights, there will be a layer of blurred white fog on the windshield after the wiper is used, which has a great safety hazard to driving. In addition, the oil film on the windshield and rear window will be more serious due to the lack of regular wiping with windshield washer fluid.

[0003] Many drivers do not understand the glass oil film, and in foggy or rainy weather, the driving visibility is already not good, and the influence of the glass oil film is like adding fuel to the fire, which is not conducive to safe driving. However, there is no reminding system for the glass oil film in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a vehicle cleaning reminding method and system which can identify the state of the windshield and then issue corresponding cleaning reminding instructions.

[0005] Specifically, the present application provides a vehicle cleaning reminding method, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S100: In response to a wiper action end signal, a first preset number of cleaning recording images of the windshield are obtained, and the sharpness of the first frame of cleaning recording image is identified.

[0007] S200: According to the first preset number of cleaning recording images, the recovery time of the windshield to return to a preset state is detected.

[0008] S300: According to the sharpness and recovery time, a cleaning reminding instruction is issued.

[0009] In the above technical solution, through the above vehicle cleaning reminding method, the user can be reminded in time and effectively about the state of the windshield of the current vehicle to increase the driving safety of the user in rainy and snowy weather; and different cleaning reminding instructions can be issued according to the detected sharpness and recovery time, which improves the intelligence of the reminding function.

[0010] Before the step S100 is executed, the method further comprises: setting a cleaning reminder sensitivity, a cleaning reminder instruction, a cleaning reminder switch and an inspection interval time in advance; the cleaning reminder sensitivity comprises at least a first cleaning reminder sensitivity, a second cleaning reminder sensitivity and a third cleaning reminder sensitivity; the cleaning reminder instruction is sent by at least a first reminding mode or a second reminding mode, and the cleaning reminder instruction comprises at least a first cleaning reminder instruction and a second cleaning reminder instruction; the cleaning reminder switch comprises at least an on state and an off state.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the cleaning reminder sensitivity, the cleaning reminder instruction, the cleaning reminder switch and the inspection interval time can be adaptively set to better meet the needs of the current vehicle user, making the reminding function more efficient and reasonable, and further embodying the intelligence and humanization of the vehicle cleaning reminding method.

[0012] The definition comprises at least a first definition, a second definition, a third definition and a fourth definition; and the recovery time comprises at least a first recovery time, a second recovery time, a third recovery time and a fourth recovery time.

[0013] In the above technical solution, different definitions and recovery times are set to subsequently send corresponding cleaning reminder instructions.

[0014] Before the step S100 is executed, the method further comprises:

[0015] S101: When the cleaning reminder switch is in the on state, the step S102 is executed.

[0016] S102: The inspection interval time is acquired, it is judged whether the current time reaches the inspection interval time, if yes, the user is reminded to check the windshield by the first reminding mode or the second reminding mode, and after the windshield is cleaned by the wiper, the step S100 is entered; otherwise, the process is ended.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the state of the cleaning reminder switch and the inspection interval time are used to judge whether the current vehicle needs to check the state of the windshield, which is equivalent to a vehicle regular maintenance reminder, to regularly clean the glass oil film and delay the generation of the glass oil film.

[0018] Before the step S100 is executed, the method further comprises: acquiring a real-time recording image of the windshield, and when it is detected that the definition of the real-time recording image of a continuous second preset number of frames is one of the second definition, the third definition or the fourth definition, the user is reminded to check the windshield by the first reminding mode or the second reminding mode, and after the windshield is cleaned by the wiper, the step S100 is entered.

[0019] In the technical solution, when the real-time recording image has one of the second definition, the third definition or the fourth definition, it indicates that the windshield has dirt or oil film with a certain degree of severity, and the windshield needs to be cleaned and further checked.

[0020] Before the step S100 is performed, the method further includes: acquiring weather of an environment in which a current vehicle is located in real time, if the weather is a preset weather, reminding a user to check the windshield by a first reminding manner or a second reminding manner, and entering the step S100 after the windshield is cleaned by a wiper, otherwise, ending the process.

[0021] In the technical solution, the preset weather is, for example, rain, snow, heavy fog or the like, and all of these weather conditions will affect the driving sight of the user, and if there is also oil film on the windshield, the driving sight will be more affected, so the state of the windshield needs to be detected in advance before the preset weather, and therefore, the above-mentioned step can further improve the driving safety.

[0022] Before the step S100 is performed, the method further includes: in response to a cleaning instruction of the user, entering the step S100 after the windshield is cleaned by the wiper.

[0023] In the technical solution, the user can also independently select to start the checking of the windshield at any time, and the above-mentioned method further embodies the humanization.

[0024] The step S300 also needs to issue the cleaning reminding instruction in combination with a pre-set cleaning reminding sensitivity, and specifically includes:

[0025] When the first frame of the cleaning recording image has the first definition, and the recovery time is the first recovery time, the process is ended.

[0026] When the first frame of the cleaning recording image has the second definition, and the recovery time is the second recovery time, and the cleaning reminding sensitivity is the first cleaning reminding sensitivity, the first cleaning reminding instruction is issued by the first reminding manner or the second reminding manner.

[0027] When the first frame of the cleaning recording image has the third definition, and the recovery time is the third recovery time, and the cleaning reminding sensitivity is the first cleaning reminding sensitivity or the second cleaning reminding sensitivity, the second cleaning reminding instruction is issued by the first reminding manner or the second reminding manner.

[0028] When the first frame of the cleaning recording image has the fourth definition, and the recovery time is the fourth recovery time, the second cleaning reminding instruction is issued by the first reminding manner or the second reminding manner.

[0029] In the technical solution, different cleaning reminder instructions are executed according to the definition, the recovery time and the cleaning reminder sensitivity, and the intelligence of the set reminder function is embodied.

[0030] Based on the same concept, the application also provides a vehicle cleaning reminder system, which comprises:

[0031] The first acquisition module is configured to acquire the first preset number of frames of cleaning recording images of the windshield in response to the wiper action end signal, and identify the definition of the first frame of cleaning recording images.
