Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular relates to a vehicle control method, a vehicle, and a terminal device. Background Technology

[0002] When people are traveling in a car, they sometimes smoke to relieve fatigue. However, due to the small space inside the car, if the air cannot circulate, the air quality inside the car will become extremely poor. As time goes on, the oxygen concentration inside the car will decrease, which will not only affect the health of the people, but also slow down the driver's reaction and worsen their vision.

[0003] Currently, due to the low level of intelligence in vehicles, if someone smokes in the vehicle, they need to manually open the window to ensure air circulation and reduce the concentration of smoke inside. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a vehicle control method, a vehicle, and a terminal device, which can solve the problem of low vehicle intelligence.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle control method, including:

[0006] When smoking is detected in a vehicle, the emotional characteristics of the person in the vehicle are obtained.

[0007] Based on the emotional characteristics, a window opening strategy for the vehicle is determined, wherein the opening strategy includes the position of the window to be opened and a first opening value.

[0008] If the opening strategy includes a first window, the first window is controlled to move according to the opening strategy, wherein the first window is the window whose current opening value and the corresponding first opening value are different among the windows to be opened.

[0009] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle, including:

[0010] The emotion feature acquisition module is used to acquire the emotion features of the people in the vehicle when smoking behavior is detected in the vehicle.

[0025] 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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] 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.

[0028] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" 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.

[0029] Currently, most vehicle window adjustments are based on weather conditions: windows are closed in bad weather and opened in good weather. There's a lack of strategies for adjusting windows based on user needs, preventing vehicles from better serving passengers.

[0030] Furthermore, the inventors discovered that when people smoke in enclosed environments, the smell of smoke can easily cause emotional instability. Opening car windows to allow air circulation and reduce the concentration of smoke inside the vehicle when people are emotionally unstable can have a positive effect on mood regulation. Therefore, this application can determine the window opening strategy based on the emotional characteristics of the occupants, which not only improves the vehicle's intelligence but also allows the vehicle to better serve its occupants.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of the vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment. The vehicle control method can be used to control a vehicle. Specifically, an information acquisition device 10 in the vehicle acquires images inside the vehicle, and the in-vehicle host unit 20 determines whether any occupants are smoking based on these images. If the in-vehicle host unit 20 determines that occupants are smoking, it activates the negative ion function of the air conditioner and adjusts the air conditioner's circulation mode to external circulation mode. If the in-vehicle host unit 20 also determines that occupants are smoking, it can also acquire the vehicle speed detected by the speed sensor 30 and environmental information acquired by the environmental sensor 40. If the in-vehicle host unit 20 determines that the weather conditions in the vehicle's environment are not severe and that the vehicle speed is less than or equal to a first preset value, it determines the emotional characteristics of the occupants based on the image and / or video information acquired by the information acquisition device 10, and controls the window operation accordingly.

[0032] Information collection devices may include a driver monitoring system (DMS) and an occupant monitoring system (OMS). The DMS is used to collect information about the person in the driver's seat. The OMS is used to collect information about other occupants in the vehicle besides the person in the driver's seat.

[0033] The following combination Figure 1 The vehicle control method of this application embodiment will be described in detail. The method of this application can be implemented in the in-vehicle host 20.

[0034] Figure 2 A schematic flowchart of the vehicle control method provided in this application is shown, with reference to... Figure 2 The method is described in detail below:

[0035] S101, when smoking behavior is detected in a person in the vehicle, the emotional characteristics of the person in the vehicle are obtained.

[0036] In this embodiment, the presence of smoking is determined by detecting the concentration of carbon dioxide inside the vehicle. The carbon dioxide concentration can be detected by a sensor. If the concentration of carbon dioxide inside the vehicle is greater than a preset value, it is determined that someone in the vehicle is smoking. If the concentration of carbon dioxide inside the vehicle is less than or equal to the preset value, it is determined that no one in the vehicle is smoking. Alternatively, the presence of smoking can also be determined by image and / or video information collected by an in-vehicle information acquisition device. The image and / or video information collected by the information acquisition device is input into an image recognition network to determine whether someone in the vehicle is smoking.

[0037] In this embodiment, the act of smoking can be performed by the person in the driver's seat, the person in the passenger seat, or the person in the back seat.

[0038] In this embodiment, the emotional characteristics of the occupants in the vehicle can refer to the emotional characteristics of the occupant in the driver's seat. If there are multiple occupants in the vehicle, the emotional characteristics of the occupants can also be determined based on the emotions of all multiple occupants.

[0039] Emotional characteristics can include irritability, calmness, and happiness.

[0040] S102, based on the emotional characteristics, determine the opening strategy of the vehicle windows, wherein the opening strategy includes the position of the window to be opened and a first opening value.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the emotional characteristic is irritability, the window opening value can be set to a value within a first interval (e.g., 30%, 40%, etc.) to reduce irritability through air circulation. When the emotional characteristic is happiness, the window opening value is set to a value within a second interval (e.g., 10%, 5%, etc.). When the emotional characteristic is calm, the window opening value can be set to a value within a third interval (e.g., 20%, 25%, etc.). Vehicle windows can include door windows, body windows, and sunroofs. The maximum value in the third interval is less than the minimum value in the first interval. The maximum value in the second interval is less than the minimum value in the third interval.

[0042] For example, if the sunroof needs to be opened, the opening strategy includes the sunroof and the first opening value of the sunroof.

[0043] S103, if the opening strategy includes a first window, control the first window to move according to the opening strategy, wherein the first window is the window whose current opening value and the corresponding first opening value do not match among the windows to be opened.

[0044] In this embodiment, the current opening value of the window to be opened, which is included in the opening strategy, is obtained. If the current opening value of the window to be opened does not match the first opening value of the window set in the opening strategy, the window is recorded as the first window.

[0045] As a distance indicator, if the window to be opened included in the opening strategy is the sunroof, the initial opening value of the sunroof is 30%. If the current opening value of the sunroof is 20%, then the sunroof is determined to be the first sunroof, and it needs to be opened to 30%.

[0046] In this embodiment, when smoking is detected in a vehicle, the emotional characteristics of the occupants are acquired. Based on these emotional characteristics, a window opening strategy is determined. If a first window exists within the opening strategy, its operation is controlled according to the strategy. The first window is the window whose current opening value differs from the corresponding first opening value among the windows to be opened. This application determines the window opening strategy based on emotional characteristics when smoking is detected in a vehicle, eliminating the need for manual window control and improving vehicle automation. Simultaneously, opening the window alleviates the emotional distress of the occupants. Furthermore, determining the opening strategy based on emotional characteristics makes vehicle control more aligned with the needs of the occupants, enhancing the correlation between the occupants and the vehicle.

[0047] In one possible implementation, before obtaining the emotional characteristics of the people in the vehicle in step S101, the method may further include:

[0048] If it is determined that the weather conditions at the location of the vehicle are not severe, and / or if it is determined that the vehicle speed is less than or equal to a first preset value.

[0049] In this embodiment, when smoking is detected in a person in a vehicle, if the weather conditions at the location of the vehicle are not severe and / or the vehicle speed is less than or equal to a first preset value, the emotional characteristics of the person in the vehicle are obtained.

[0050] Optionally, when smoking is detected in a person in the vehicle, if the weather conditions at the vehicle's location are determined to be non-severe, the emotional characteristics of the person in the vehicle can be obtained.

[0051] When smoking is detected in a vehicle, if the vehicle speed is determined to be less than or equal to a first preset value, the emotional characteristics of the person in the vehicle are obtained.

[0052] When smoking is detected in a vehicle, if the weather conditions at the vehicle's location are determined to be non-severe and the vehicle's speed is less than or equal to a first preset value, then the emotional characteristics of the occupants in the vehicle are acquired. Specifically, the weather conditions can be acquired first, followed by the vehicle speed; the vehicle speed can be acquired first, followed by the weather conditions; or both weather conditions and vehicle speed can be acquired simultaneously.

[0053] In this embodiment, severe weather may include rain, snow, low temperatures, high temperatures, sandstorms, and smog. Weather conditions at the vehicle's location can be obtained from a cloud server, which stores weather forecasts. The vehicle sends its location to the cloud server, which then determines the weather conditions based on that location. Alternatively, weather conditions can be determined by combining information from the vehicle's external environment collected by its onboard data acquisition devices, as well as sensor data from temperature and humidity sensors.

[0054] In this embodiment, the vehicle speed can be detected by a speed sensor. The first preset value can be set as needed, for example, the first preset value can be set to 60 km / h, 80 km / h, etc.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in one possible implementation, when smoking is detected in a person inside the vehicle, the method may further include:

[0056] S201, Obtain the first state of the air conditioner in the vehicle, the first state including the on / off state of the negative ion function and the circulation mode.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first state of the air conditioner refers to the state of the air conditioner at the current time. If the air conditioner is not turned on, the negative ion function of the air conditioner is turned off, and the circulation mode is "empty".

[0058] Loop modes can include outer loop mode, inner loop mode, automatic mode, and "empty" mode.

[0059] Negative ions are negatively charged oxygen ions, colorless and odorless. They are produced when air molecules are ionized under high pressure or strong radiation, and most of the free electrons are captured by oxygen. Therefore, negative air ions are often collectively referred to as "negative oxygen ions." Adding a negative ion generator to an air conditioner is primarily used to purify the air.

[0060] S202, if the negative ion function is off, turn on the negative ion function of the air conditioner.

[0061] In this embodiment, whether the negative ion function is turned on can be determined by the negative ion function activation button on the vehicle. If the negative ion function activation button is pressed, the negative ion function is turned on; if the negative ion function activation button is in the initial state, the negative ion function is turned off.

[0062] Specifically, if the negative ion function is in the off state, a first command is sent to the air conditioner, which is used to instruct the air conditioner to turn on the negative ion function.

[0063] S203, if the air conditioner's circulation mode is not external circulation mode, control the air conditioner to switch to external circulation mode.

[0064] In this embodiment of the application, when smoking is detected in the vehicle, the air conditioner is switched to external circulation mode and the negative ion function is activated to accelerate the purification of the air inside the vehicle and eliminate the smoke as quickly as possible.

[0065] In one possible implementation, when smoking is detected in a person in a vehicle, steps S201 to S203 can be executed first, and then the weather conditions and / or speed can be determined, and steps S101 to S103 can be executed.

[0066] In one possible implementation, when smoking is detected in a person in the vehicle, the weather conditions at the vehicle's location are obtained; if the weather conditions are severe, steps S201 to S203 are executed.

[0067] If the weather conditions are not severe, obtain the vehicle's speed.

[0068] If the vehicle speed is greater than the first preset value, proceed with steps S201 to S203.

[0069] If the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the first preset value, the processes of steps S201 to S203 and steps S101 to S103 are executed.

[0070] In one possible implementation, when smoking is detected in a person in the vehicle, the vehicle speed is obtained; if the vehicle speed is greater than a first preset value, steps S201 to S203 are executed.

[0071] If the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the first preset value, obtain the weather conditions.

[0072] If the weather conditions are severe, proceed with steps S201 to S203.

[0073] If the weather conditions are not severe, proceed with steps S201 to S203, and steps S101 to S103.

[0074] In one possible implementation, prior to step 102, the method may further include:

[0075] Obtain the location of the person who committed the smoking behavior.

[0076] Correspondingly, the implementation process of step S102 may include:

[0077] Based on the emotional characteristics and the location of the person performing the smoking behavior, the window opening strategy of the vehicle is determined.

[0078] In this embodiment, the location of the person smoking can be determined by image and / or video information collected by the information acquisition device. The car windows to be opened in the opening strategy include the windows closest to the person smoking.

[0079] By consulting a reference table, you can determine the window number or location closest to the person who smoked. The reference table is a pre-set table that stores the window number or location corresponding to each seat in the vehicle.

[0080] In one possible implementation, if the emotional characteristic is irritability and the smoking behavior is performed by the person in the driver's seat of the vehicle, the opening strategy includes: the first opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's seat is a second preset value, the first opening value of the second window is a second preset value, and the first opening value of the sunroof is a third preset value. The second window is at least one window on the passenger side, excluding the window corresponding to the passenger seat. The window corresponding to the driver's seat is the foremost window on the driver's side. The window corresponding to the passenger seat is the foremost window on the passenger side.

[0081] In this embodiment, when a person in the driver's seat smokes, opening the window corresponding to the driver's seat and the second window can improve air circulation inside the vehicle and allow the smoke to be expelled from the vehicle as quickly as possible.

[0082] Correspondingly, before step S102, the above method may further include:

[0083] If the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position is less than the second preset value, it is determined that the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position does not match the first opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position included in the opening strategy, and then the first window includes the window corresponding to the driver's position.

[0084] In this embodiment, if the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position is greater than the second preset value, it can be considered that the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position matches or does not match the first opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position included in the opening strategy, and can be set as needed.

[0085] If the current opening value of the second window is less than the second preset value, it is determined that the current opening value of the second window does not match the first opening value of the second window included in the opening strategy, and then the first window includes the second window.

[0086] In this embodiment, the current opening value of the second window is greater than the second preset value. The current opening value of the second window may or may not match the first opening value of the second window included in the opening strategy, and can be set as needed.

[0087] If the current opening value of the sunroof is less than the third preset value, it is determined that the current opening value of the sunroof does not match the first opening value of the sunroof included in the opening strategy, and then the first vehicle window includes the sunroof.

[0088] In this embodiment, the current opening value of the sunroof is greater than the third preset value. The current opening value of the sunroof may or may not match the first opening value of the sunroof included in the opening strategy, and can be set as needed.

[0089] In one possible implementation, if the emotional characteristic is calm and the smoking behavior is performed by the person in the driver's seat of the vehicle, the opening strategy includes: the first opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's seat is a fourth preset value, the first opening value of the second window is the fourth preset value, and the first opening value of the sunroof is a fifth preset value, wherein the fourth preset value is less than the second preset value, and the fifth preset value is less than the third preset value.

[0090] In this embodiment, when the emotional characteristic is calm, the degree to which the car window is opened can be less than when the emotional characteristic is agitated.

[0091] Correspondingly, before step S102, the above method may further include:

[0092] If the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position is less than the fourth preset value, it is determined that the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position does not match the first opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position included in the opening strategy, and then the first window includes the window corresponding to the driver's position.

[0093] In this embodiment, if the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position is greater than the fourth preset value, the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position may or may not match the first opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position included in the opening strategy, and can be set as needed.

[0094] If the current opening value of the second window is less than the fourth preset value, it is determined that the current opening value of the second window does not match the first opening value of the second window included in the opening strategy, then the first window includes the second window.

[0095] In this embodiment, the current opening value of the second window is greater than the fourth preset value. The current opening value of the second window may or may not match the first opening value of the second window included in the opening strategy, and can be set as needed.

[0096] If the current opening value of the sunroof is less than the fifth preset value, it is determined that the current opening value of the sunroof does not match the first opening value of the sunroof included in the opening strategy, and then the first vehicle window includes the sunroof.

[0097] In this embodiment, the current opening value of the sunroof is greater than the fifth preset value. The current opening value of the sunroof may or may not match the first opening value of the sunroof included in the opening strategy, and can be set as needed.

[0098] In one possible implementation, if the emotional characteristic is happiness and the smoking behavior is performed by the person in the driver's seat of the vehicle, the opening strategy includes: the first opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's seat is a sixth preset value, the first opening value of the second window is the sixth preset value, and the first opening value of the sunroof is a seventh preset value, wherein the sixth preset value is less than the fourth preset value, and the seventh preset value is less than the fifth preset value.

[0099] In this embodiment, when the emotional characteristic is happy, the degree to which the car window is opened can be less than when the emotional characteristic is calm.

[0100] Correspondingly, before step S102, the above method may further include:

[0101] If the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position is less than the sixth preset value, it is determined that the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position does not match the first opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position included in the opening strategy, and then the first window includes the window corresponding to the driver's position.

[0102] In this embodiment, if the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position is greater than the sixth preset value, the current opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position may or may not match the first opening value of the window corresponding to the driver's position included in the opening strategy, and can be set as needed.

[0103] If the current opening value of the second window is less than the sixth preset value, it is determined that the current opening value of the second window does not match the first opening value of the second window included in the opening strategy, then the first window includes the second window.

[0104] In this embodiment, the current opening value of the second window is greater than the sixth preset value. The current opening value of the second window may or may not match the first opening value of the second window included in the opening strategy, and can be set as needed.

[0105] If the current opening value of the sunroof is less than the seventh preset value, it is determined that the current opening value of the sunroof does not match the first opening value of the sunroof included in the opening strategy, and then the first vehicle window includes the sunroof.

[0106] In this embodiment, the current opening value of the sunroof is greater than the seventh preset value. The current opening value of the sunroof may or may not match the first opening value of the sunroof included in the opening strategy, and can be set as needed.

[0107] In one possible implementation, if the emotional characteristic is irritability and the smoking behavior is performed by a person in the passenger seat of the vehicle, the opening strategy includes: a first opening value of a window corresponding to the passenger seat being a second preset value, a first opening value of a third window being a second preset value, and a first opening value of a sunroof being a third preset value. The third window is at least one window on the driver's side, excluding the window corresponding to the driver's seat.

[0108] In one possible implementation, if the emotional characteristic is calm and the smoking behavior is performed by a person in the passenger seat of the vehicle, the opening strategy includes: the first opening value of the window corresponding to the passenger seat is a fourth preset value, the first opening value of the third window is the fourth preset value, and the first opening value of the sunroof is a fifth preset value.

[0109] In one possible implementation, if the emotional characteristic is happiness and the smoking behavior is performed by a person in the passenger seat of the vehicle, the opening strategy includes: the first opening value of the window corresponding to the passenger seat is a sixth preset value, the first opening value of the third window is the sixth preset value, and the first opening value of the sunroof is a seventh preset value.

[0110] The methods for determining whether the current opening value of the window corresponding to the passenger seat matches the opening strategy, as well as the method for determining the third window, can refer to the method for determining the window corresponding to the driver's seat, and will not be repeated here.

[0111] In one possible implementation, if the emotional characteristic is irritability and the smoking behavior is performed by a person in a first position in the rear seat of the vehicle, the opening strategy includes: the first opening value of the window corresponding to the first position is a second preset value and the first opening value of the skylight is a third preset value.

[0112] Additionally, if the emotional characteristic is irritability and the smoking behavior is performed by a person in the first position in the rear seat of the vehicle, the opening strategy may further include: the first opening value of the fourth window is a second preset value. If the first position is on the driver's side of the vehicle, the fourth window is at least one window on the passenger side, excluding the window corresponding to the passenger seat. If the first position is on the passenger side of the vehicle, the fourth window is at least one window on the driver's side, excluding the window corresponding to the passenger seat.

[0113] In one possible implementation, if the emotional characteristic is calm or happy, and the smoking behavior is performed by the person in the first position in the back seat of the vehicle, the activation strategy can be set with reference to the activation strategy when the emotional characteristic is irritable, which will not be elaborated here.

[0114] like Figure 4 As shown, in one possible implementation, the process of step S101 may include:

[0115] S1011, determine the emotional value of the person in the vehicle based on the image information and / or video information collected by the information collection device installed in the vehicle.

[0116] Specifically, image and / or video information is input into a first neural network. By analyzing facial expressions, a first emotion value is determined for each person in the vehicle. The average of these first emotion values ​​is calculated to obtain the overall emotion value of each person in the vehicle.

[0117] Specifically, image and / or video information is input into a second neural network to determine the emotional value of the person in the driver's seat. The emotional value of the person in the driver's seat represents the emotional value of all occupants in the vehicle. Specifically, image information of the person in the driver's seat is determined using a digital signal processing system (DMS) to determine their emotional value.

[0118] Specifically, image and / or video information is input into a third neural network to determine the emotional values ​​of passengers (excluding the person in the driver's seat) in the vehicle. The emotional values ​​of all occupants in the vehicle are then determined based on the passengers' emotional values. Specifically, image information of passengers is obtained through Optical Motion Analysis (OMS) to determine their emotional values.

[0119] S1012, Determine the emotional characteristics of the person based on the emotional range in which the emotional value is located, wherein different emotional ranges correspond to different emotional characteristics.

[0120] In this embodiment, by analyzing the image information collected by the information acquisition device, the emotional characteristics of the person can be clearly and quickly determined, thereby preparing for the subsequent determination of the activation strategy based on the emotional characteristics.

[0121] For example, there are three emotion ranges: [0, 0.3], (0.3, 0.6], and (0.6, 1]. [0, 0.3] corresponds to happiness, (0.3, 0.6] to calmness, and (0.6, 1] to irritability. If the current emotion value is 0.5, the person's emotion is calm. If the current emotion value is 0.7, the person's emotion is irritability. In one possible implementation, when smoking is detected in the vehicle, before adjusting the windows and air conditioning, the current state of the air conditioning (first state) and the state of the windows (current opening value) need to be memorized so that when the smoking stops, the windows and air conditioning can be restored to their previous states.

[0122] Specifically, after step S103, the above method may further include:

[0123] S301, after determining that no one in the vehicle is smoking, turn off the negative ion function of the air conditioner and switch the air conditioner to the circulation mode of the first state.

[0124] In this embodiment, the presence of smoking behavior by occupants in a vehicle can be determined based on the image information collected by the information collection device.

[0125] In this embodiment, since the negative ion function of the air conditioner is turned off before the smoking behavior begins, the negative ion function of the air conditioner can be turned off after the smoking behavior stops.

[0126] If the air conditioner's recirculation mode was "empty" before the smoking started, you can turn it off after the smoking stopped. If the air conditioner's recirculation mode was "internal circulation" before the smoking started, switch the air conditioner's recirculation mode from "external circulation" to "internal circulation" after the smoking stopped.

[0127] For example, if the DMS returns no smoking behavior but the OMS does not return smoking behavior, it is determined that the person in the vehicle is not engaging in the smoking behavior. Alternatively, if the DMS returns no smoking behavior but the OMS returns smoking behavior, continue monitoring the OMS until it returns "stop smoking," then it is determined that the person in the vehicle is not engaging in the smoking behavior.

[0128] S302, control the first window to adjust to a second opening value, wherein the second opening value is the opening value of the first window before it is adjusted according to the opening strategy.

[0129] In this embodiment, after determining that no one in the vehicle is smoking, a prompt message can be displayed on the screen to indicate that the smoking mode has been exited; or, a text-to-speech (TTS) announcement can be made to indicate that the smoking mode has been exited.

[0130] Additionally, after the prompt indicates that the smoking mode has been exited, if a "hold" command is received, the windows and air conditioning can remain in their current state without reverting to their previous settings; if a "reset" command is received, the windows and air conditioning can be restored to their previous settings.

[0131] In this embodiment, when there is no smoking behavior in the vehicle, the air conditioning and windows in the vehicle can be restored to their previous unadjusted state so that the vehicle settings can continue to be set according to the previous settings, without the need for the personnel to adjust the windows and air conditioning themselves, thereby improving the automation level of the vehicle.

[0132] In one possible implementation, prior to step S101, the method may further include:

[0133] Upon receiving the first signal from the information collection device, which indicates that a person in the vehicle has taken a cigarette, the display screen will show the signal or the TTS (Traffic Response System) will broadcast a "first reminder message" to remind the person to pay attention to driving safety. For example, the first reminder message could be "Please do not smoke while driving, pay attention to driving safety." Specifically, the action of taking a cigarette can be detected by either the DMS (Distributed Motion System) or the OMS (Operational Motion System).

[0134] After receiving the second signal sent by the information collection device, the second signal is used to characterize the presence of a person in the vehicle lighting a cigarette, thus confirming that the person in the vehicle is smoking.

[0135] The display screen shows or the TTS (Text-to-Speech) system reads out a "second prompt message," which asks the user whether to activate the smoking mode. For example, the second prompt message could be, "We have detected that you are smoking. Would you like to activate the smoking mode for you?"

[0136] Upon receiving the third signal, the smoking mode is activated, and steps S101 to S103 and steps S201 to S203 are executed as described above.

[0137] The third signal can be generated by manually clicking the first button (OK), or by recognizing a gesture (OK), or by responding to a person's voice.

[0138] Upon receiving the fourth signal, the smoking mode is not activated, and steps S101 to S103 and steps S201 to S203 are not executed.

[0139] The fourth signal can be generated by manually clicking the second button (cancel), or by gesture recognition, or by a person's voice response.

[0140] Optionally, the method for determining smoking behavior in this application can also be performed on a cloud platform (server). The in-vehicle host transmits the image and / or video information collected by the information collection device to the cloud platform via the in-vehicle wireless terminal (Telematics Box, T-BOX). The cloud platform analyzes the image and / or video information to determine that the current scenario of the vehicle is smoking behavior, and sends the corresponding vehicle control policy to the in-vehicle host.

[0141] 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.
