Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method, device, tailgate, and vehicle for controlling a car tailgate, and more particularly to an AR-based method, device, tailgate, and vehicle for controlling a car tailgate. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, car tailgates are primarily opened and closed manually using physical buttons. This is inconvenient when users are holding items with both hands. Therefore, foot-operated tailgate opening and closing modules were developed. However, because the sensors are located at the bottom of the car, users need to avoid the tailgate movement after kicking, and they cannot accurately judge the sensor's location, resulting in a low success rate. AR projection modules, on the other hand, project an image onto the ground, and sensors recognize the user's stepping motion in the image area to open and close the tailgate.
[0003] AR projection modules need to be designed according to their installation height. However, when a car is equipped with air suspension, the rise and fall of the chassis will cause the position of the projected pattern to shift, the size to change, the clarity of the pattern, the ground illumination, and the recognition rate of the sensor to deteriorate, affecting the user experience and failing to meet people's needs, so improvements are urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an AR-based method, device, tailgate, and vehicle for controlling a car tailgate, which can adaptively adjust according to the height of the car chassis, thus overcoming the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] An AR-based method for controlling a car tailgate, specifically including:
[0007] Detect whether the current vehicle chassis is at a normal height and determine whether the conditions for activating the AR projection module are met;
[0008] If the conditions for enabling the AR projection module are met, then the AR projection module is enabled, the actual height of the current vehicle chassis is read, and the AR projection module is adjusted according to the actual height of the vehicle chassis.
[0009] Based on the foot pedal action signal obtained from the AR projection module, the corresponding car tailgate operation command is executed.
[0010] Furthermore, the step of detecting whether the current vehicle chassis is at a normal height and determining whether the conditions for activating the AR projection module are met further includes:
[0011] The vehicle's chassis domain controller uses sensors to monitor the change in current chassis height relative to normal height in real time, and sends the change signal to the comfort CAN bus via the chassis CAN bus and gateway.
[0012] Furthermore, the step of sending the change value signal to the comfort CAN bus via the chassis CAN bus and then through the gateway further includes:
[0013] The body controller receives change signals from the comfort CAN bus and forwards them to the AR projection module;
[0014] The vehicle body controller analyzes the digital key sensing status and AR projection enable status in the tailgate area to determine whether the AR projection module meets the opening conditions.
[0015] If the AR projection module meets the activation conditions, then activate the AR projection module.
[0016] The MCU inside the AR projection module reads the vehicle chassis height signal to determine whether the AR projection module needs to perform adaptive adjustment.
[0017] If the AR projection module needs to be adaptively adjusted, the electric control of the lifting adjustment motor moves the AR projection module to the corresponding position and then the projection lights up.
[0018] An AR-based vehicle tailgate control system, specifically comprising:
[0019] The vehicle chassis height detection module is used to detect whether the current vehicle chassis is at a normal height and to determine whether the conditions for activating the AR projection module are met.
[0020] The AR projection activation condition judgment module enables the AR projection module if the activation conditions are met, reads the actual height of the current vehicle chassis, and adjusts the AR projection module according to the actual height of the vehicle chassis.
[0021] The tailgate operation command execution module executes the corresponding tailgate operation command based on the foot pedal action signal obtained from the AR projection module.
[0022] An AR-based vehicle tailgate control device, specifically comprising:
[0023] The chassis domain controller is used to detect the change in the current chassis height relative to the normal height value and send the change value signal to the body controller.
[0024] The body controller receives change signals from the chassis domain controller, determines whether the AR projection module meets the activation conditions, and controls the AR projection module to perform adaptive adjustment.
[0025] An AR projection module is used to project schematic patterns and recognize stepping actions on the imaging area.
[0026] Furthermore, the chassis domain controller sends the current chassis height change signal through the gateway and the comfort CAN bus;
[0027] The vehicle body controller sends the change value signal to the AR projection module via the LIN bus;
[0028] The AR projection module will send a successful recognition signal back to the body controller via the LIN bus, which will then control the trunk controller to open and close the tailgate.
[0029] A car tailgate, wherein the car tailgate is provided with an AR-based car tailgate control device as described in claim 5 or 6, which is connected to an AR-based car tailgate control system and executes an AR-based car tailgate control method.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: Before projecting the schematic diagram, the present invention first determines whether the height of the vehicle chassis is consistent with the normal value and whether the opening conditions are met through the body controller and chassis domain controller. If it is inconsistent with the normal value, adaptive adjustment is performed. When the chassis changes, the projection module adaptively adjusts to keep the module's height above the ground constant, ensuring that the AR projection module is in a suitable position. This avoids unnecessary actions by the AR projection, saves power consumption, achieves clear display of the projected pattern, and ensures normal recognition of the user's foot pedal actions, thus guaranteeing a good user experience.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] like Figure 1 The AR-based car tailgate control method shown specifically includes:
[0045] Step S1: Detect whether the current vehicle chassis is at a normal height and determine whether the conditions for activating the AR projection module are met.
[0046] For example, the conditions for enabling the AR projection module include: the vehicle chassis is currently at its highest or lowest position, the AR projection module is enabled, and there are no obstacles behind the vehicle that would prevent the tailgate from opening.
[0047] Specifically, this further includes: the vehicle's chassis domain controller uses sensors to monitor the change in current chassis height relative to normal height in real time, and sends the change signal to the comfort CAN bus via the chassis CAN bus and gateway.
[0048] Specifically, this further includes: the body controller receiving change value signals from the comfort CAN bus and forwarding them to the AR projection module;
[0049] The vehicle body controller analyzes the digital key sensing status and AR projection enable status in the tailgate area to determine whether the AR projection module meets the opening conditions.
[0050] If the AR projection module meets the activation conditions, then activate the AR projection module.
[0051] The MCU inside the AR projection module reads the vehicle chassis height signal to determine whether the AR projection module needs to perform adaptive adjustment.
[0052] If the AR projection module needs to be adaptively adjusted, the electric control of the lifting adjustment motor moves the AR projection module to the corresponding position and then the projection lights up.
[0053] Step S2: If the conditions for enabling the AR projection module are met, then enable the AR projection module, read the actual height of the current vehicle chassis, and adjust the AR projection module according to the actual height of the vehicle chassis.
[0054] Step S3: Execute the corresponding tailgate operation command based on the foot pedal action signal obtained from the AR projection module.
[0055] Specifically, the AR projection module uses the AR device's lifting motor to control the AR projection module to move in the same or opposite direction as the chassis.
[0056] For the purpose of simplicity, the method steps disclosed in the above embodiments are described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the described order of actions, because according to the embodiments of the present invention, some steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Furthermore, those skilled in the art should also understand that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions involved are not necessarily essential to the embodiments of the present invention.
[0057] Any flowchart or other description of a process or method can be understood as representing a module, segment, or portion of code comprising one or more executable instructions for implementing a particular logical function or process. Furthermore, the scope of preferred embodiments of the invention includes additional implementations in which functions may be performed and implemented not in the order shown or discussed, including substantially simultaneously or in reverse order according to the functions involved, or by executing computer instructions and implementing corresponding functions according to program structures such as loops, branches, etc., as will naturally be understood by those skilled in the art when practicing embodiments of the invention.
[0058] like Figure 2 The AR-based car tailgate control system shown specifically includes:
[0059] The vehicle chassis height detection module is used to detect whether the current vehicle chassis is at a normal height and to determine whether the conditions for activating the AR projection module are met.
[0060] The AR projection activation condition judgment module enables the AR projection module if the activation conditions are met, reads the actual height of the current vehicle chassis, and adjusts the AR projection module according to the actual height of the vehicle chassis.
[0061] The tailgate operation command execution module executes the corresponding tailgate operation command based on the foot pedal action signal obtained from the AR projection module.
[0062] It is worth noting that although only some basic functional modules are disclosed in the embodiments of this invention, it does not mean that the composition of this system is limited to the above-mentioned basic functional modules. On the contrary, what this embodiment intends to express is that, based on the above-mentioned basic functional modules, those skilled in the art can arbitrarily add one or more functional modules in combination with existing technology to form an infinite number of embodiments or technical solutions. That is to say, this system is open rather than closed. The fact that this embodiment only discloses a few basic functional modules should not be considered as the scope of protection of the claims of this invention being limited to the disclosed basic functional modules. At the same time, for the convenience of description, the above device is described separately according to its functions as various units and modules. Of course, in implementing this invention, the functions of each unit and module can be implemented in one or more software and / or hardware.
[0063] The implementation methods of the system described above are merely illustrative. For example, the various functional modules, units, or subsystems within the system may or may not be physically separate, or they may or may not be physical units; that is, they may be located in the same place or distributed across multiple different systems and their subsystems or modules. Those skilled in the art can select some or all of the functional modules, units, or subsystems to achieve the objectives of the embodiments of the present invention according to actual needs. Those skilled in the art can understand and implement the above-described situations without any creative effort.
[0064] like Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the AR-based car tailgate control device shown includes:
[0065] The chassis domain controller (CDS) is used to detect the change in the current chassis height relative to the normal height value and send the change value signal to the body controller.
[0066] The Body Control Module (BCM) receives change signals from the chassis domain controller, determines whether the AR projection module meets the activation conditions, and controls the AR projection module to perform adaptive adjustments.
[0067] It is easy to understand that controlling the AR projection module to perform adaptive adjustment means controlling the AR projection module to adjust according to the current chassis height of the vehicle. When the chassis changes, the projection module adjusts itself to keep the module's height above the ground constant. This can be achieved by combining existing lifting adjustment motors and their drive circuits, or by other known existing technologies to achieve adaptive adjustment of the AR projection module.
[0068] An AR projection module is used to project schematic patterns and recognize stepping actions on the imaging area.
[0069] Specifically, the chassis domain controller sends the current chassis height change signal through the gateway and the comfort CAN bus;
[0070] The vehicle body controller sends the change value signal to the AR projection module via the LIN bus;
[0071] The AR projection module will send a successful recognition signal back to the body controller via the LIN bus, which will then control the trunk controller PLG to complete the opening and closing of the car tailgate.
[0072] In this embodiment, it may further include a digital key module (BLE), a TOF sensor, a PCB circuit board, a height adjustment motor and its drive circuit, a heat sink, a bracket, and a wiring harness, etc., for implementation in specific application scenarios.
[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, the working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The chassis domain controller (CDS) monitors the current chassis height or the change value relative to the normal height in real time through sensors. This signal is sent to the gateway via the chassis CAN bus. The gateway converts the signal to the comfort CAN bus. The body controller (BCM) receives this signal, converts it into a LIN bus signal, and sends it to the AR projection module. The body controller (BCM) analyzes information such as the digital key sensor (BLE) in the tailgate area, the AR projection enable status, and the vehicle status to determine whether the AR projection module meets the opening conditions. After the AR projection module is turned on, the microprocessor (MCU) in the module reads the chassis height signal and determines whether the AR projection module needs to be adaptively adjusted. It drives the lifting adjustment motor to move in the opposite direction of the chassis movement, moving the AR projection module to the designed height position. Then the projection lights up, and the user's foot pedal operation is normally recognized. The recognition success signal is sent back to the body controller (BCM) via the LIN bus. The body controller forwards the signal to the trunk controller (PLG) via the CAN bus to complete the opening and closing action of the car tailgate.
[0074] Since the air suspension automatically adjusts its height according to road conditions while the car is in motion, the driving scenario is not the operating condition of the AR projection module of this invention, and therefore does not require adaptive adjustment. So the logic for whether to adaptively adjust is placed in the microprocessor MCU inside the AR projection module to avoid unnecessary actions by the AR projection and to avoid increasing the complexity of other controller logic.
[0075] Based on the basic principles of this invention, two application scenarios are described exemplarily. These two application scenarios utilize existing lifting adjustment motors and their drive circuits on the basis of AR projection module hardware, and the AR projection module completes the adaptive adjustment control and execution.
[0076] Scenario 1: A user parks their car on an uneven surface and manually adjusts the chassis to its highest position to avoid damaging the undercarriage. When the user needs to operate the tailgate after parking, the AR projection module will adjust downwards via a lifting motor. If the projection module's position is not adjusted accordingly, the projection distance will be longer than designed, resulting in a larger projected image size, decreased clarity with a risk of ghosting, poor illumination uniformity, and the image shifting away from the car body, potentially exceeding the sensor's detection range.
[0077] Scenario 2: A user places a large, heavy item in their suitcase and adjusts the chassis to its lowest position for easy access. The AR projection module will then adjust upwards via a lifting motor. If the projection module's position isn't adjusted accordingly, the projection distance will be shorter than designed, resulting in a smaller projected image and the image shifting closer to the vehicle. If the user then steps on the tailgate, they might get too close to the vehicle and accidentally bump into it.
[0078] As can be seen from the tailgate control device of this embodiment, the present invention proposes to adjust the height of the AR projection module by utilizing a lifting motor of existing technology. This ensures that the AR projection module is in its designed position. After the projection opening conditions are met, adaptive adjustment of the AR projection is performed, avoiding unnecessary actions and saving energy consumption. A microprocessor (MCU) is configured in the AR projection module, and adaptive adjustment logic is configured within the MCU. The present invention places the adaptive adjustment logic within the microprocessor (MCU) of the AR projection module, avoiding increasing the complexity of other controller logic. The trunk AR projection module in this invention can also be other AR projection modules, such as those used in welcome lights, etc., with a wide range of applications and not limited to the content disclosed in this embodiment.
[0079] The AR-based car tailgate control device disclosed in this embodiment can be applied to existing car tailgates. This device is installed on the car tailgate and connected to the car tailgate control systems disclosed in other embodiments of this application. It executes an AR-based car tailgate control method, ensuring the AR projection matches the current height of the vehicle chassis. This guarantees the AR projection module is in a suitable position, avoids unnecessary AR projection actions, saves power consumption, achieves clear display of the projected pattern, and ensures normal recognition of user foot pedal movements, thus guaranteeing a good user experience.
