[0023] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0024] Some storage devices, such as armrest boxes, have been equipped with charging ports and air conditioning vents. While this increases the functionality of the storage devices, these functions can also be placed in other parts of the vehicle, failing to effectively integrate with the structural characteristics of the storage devices. The vehicle control method provided in this embodiment of the invention can care for items placed in the storage devices, providing both storage and care functions for the stored items.

[0025] Figure 1 A flowchart of a first embodiment of the vehicle control method of the present invention is shown, which can be executed by the vehicle's controller. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes steps 101 to 102.

[0026] Step 101: Determine whether the vehicle's storage compartment contains the target item that needs care.

[0027] The vehicle contains multiple storage compartments, such as storage compartments inside the doors, armrest boxes, and glove boxes in front of the front passenger seat. Passengers can typically place their belongings in the appropriate storage compartment after boarding. For example, the driver can place their belongings in the armrest box; the front passenger can place their belongings in the glove box; or a rear passenger can place their belongings in either a storage compartment or the armrest box.

[0028] For ease of description, the items to be placed in the storage device are referred to as target items. In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the storage device contains target items requiring care. For example, the vehicle can be equipped with sensors capable of automatic detection (e.g., pressure sensors in the storage device) to automatically determine whether the storage device contains target items requiring care; alternatively, after boarding the vehicle, passengers can send a care request to the vehicle controller via physical buttons, virtual buttons, or a terminal APP (application). The vehicle controller can also determine whether the storage device contains target items requiring care by checking whether the request has been received.

[0029] Step 102: If there is a target item to be cared for in the storage device, control the storage device to output the care agent to the target item.

[0030] In this embodiment, if the storage device contains a target item that needs care, that is, the target item is located inside the storage device and needs to be cared for, then the storage device can be used to care for the target item inside.

[0031] The storage device can dispense a care agent to the items inside, thus providing care for them. In this embodiment, the storage device has an air outlet, which can be used to deliver the care agent into the storage device, thereby providing care for the target items inside. For example, an air outlet is installed in the armrest box, and a storage box for storing the care agent is provided inside or beside the armrest box. The storage box and the air outlet can be connected through a dedicated pipe. When care is needed, a ventilation system (e.g., a fan) can be used to blow the volatile care agent to the air outlet, and then deliver the care agent to the target items through the air outlet. For example, the storage box can be equipped with an atomizing device to atomize the care agent stored inside, making it easier to blow to the air outlet. The air outlet can also be equipped with a high-frequency vibrating plate. Based on the high-frequency tapping of the care agent molecules, the care agent molecules can be atomized and dispersed into the armrest box, enabling multi-directional care for the target items. In addition, passengers can be reminded to add more cleaning supplies if the storage compartment is low.

[0032] The vehicle control method provided in this embodiment can control the storage device to output care agent to the target item inside, thereby providing care for the target item while storing it; it expands the care function on the basis of the storage function, realizing functional expansion. Furthermore, the care for the item can be performed while traveling, reducing the need for passengers to spend extra time on item care and improving the time utilization of passengers.

[0033] Figure 2 A flowchart of a second embodiment of the vehicle control method of the present invention is shown, which can be executed by the vehicle's controller. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes steps 201 to 202.

[0034] Step 201: Determine whether the vehicle's storage compartment contains the target item to be cared for.

[0035] For details, please refer to Figure 1 Step 101 of the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0036] Step 202: If there is a target item to be cared for in the storage device, control the storage device to output the care agent to the target item.

[0037] Specifically, step 202, “controlling the storage device to output the care agent to the target item,” includes steps 2021 to 2022.

[0038] Step 2021: Determine the nursing condition; the nursing condition includes the type and / or concentration of the nursing agent.

[0039] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to care for a target item, i.e., when it is determined that there is a target item to be cared for in the storage device, it can be determined which type of care agent needs to be used, i.e., the type of care agent, or the amount of care agent to be used, i.e., the concentration of care agent. The type and / or concentration of care agent are used as the care conditions required for care.

[0040] The system can automatically determine the type and concentration of the care agent, for example, selecting an appropriate type of care agent based on the material of the target item. Alternatively, passengers can choose the desired care conditions themselves; the passenger inputs or sends the selected care conditions to the vehicle controller, which can then determine the care conditions and provide subsequent care based on those conditions.

[0041] Step 2022: Control the storage device to output the corresponding care agent to the target item according to the care conditions.

[0042] In this embodiment, when caring for the target item, the care is carried out according to the above-mentioned care conditions, that is, the corresponding care agent is output to the target item according to the care conditions.

[0043] For example, if the care condition includes a care agent type, then a care agent of that type can be output to the target item. Alternatively, if the care condition includes a care agent concentration, then a care agent with that concentration can be output to the target item. Or, if the care condition includes both a care agent type and a care agent concentration, then a care agent I of that type can be selected, and a care agent I with that concentration can be output to the target item.

[0044] If the storage device delivers the care agent to the target item through the air outlet, the concentration of the care agent delivered to the target item can be controlled by adjusting the ventilation volume of the air outlet.

[0045] In some alternative implementations, step 2021, “determining care conditions,” may specifically include the following step A1.

[0046] Step A1: Determine the pre-set care conditions for the occupants that correspond to the target item.

[0047] In this embodiment, since the target item is generally an item carried by the passenger, the passenger can place the target item in the corresponding storage device after boarding the vehicle. Therefore, the passenger can set appropriate care conditions for the items they own in advance. If the passenger is carrying the target item, the care conditions corresponding to the target item can be selected from the data set in advance by the passenger.

[0048] Generally, leather items require care, such as leather handbags, wallets, and shoes. If a driver owns three handbags, namely handbag A, handbag B, and handbag C, the driver can pre-set the required care conditions for each handbag, for example: care condition a, care condition b, and care condition c. If the current target item is handbag A, then the care condition corresponding to the target item can be determined as care condition a.

[0049] Alternatively, step 2021, “Determining the nursing condition,” may specifically include step A2.

[0050] Step A2: Determine the appropriate nursing conditions based on the current environmental parameters; these current environmental parameters include the current temperature and / or current humidity.

[0051] In this embodiment, the vehicle controller can also automatically determine the corresponding care conditions. Specifically, it can determine current environmental parameters such as current temperature and / or current humidity, and determine suitable care conditions based on these parameters. For example, if the current humidity is low, it can be determined that the environment is dry, and a moisturizing care agent can be used; that is, the care agent type is a moisturizing care agent.

[0052] The current temperature can be the temperature at the current moment or the temperature over the current time period; for example, the average temperature over the most recent time period can be used as the temperature over the current time period. Similarly, the current humidity can be the humidity at the current moment or the humidity over the current time period; for example, the average humidity over the most recent time period can be used as the humidity over the current time period.

[0053] Optionally, step A2, "determine the corresponding nursing conditions based on the current environmental parameters," may specifically include steps A21 to A24.

[0054] Step A21: Determine the current environmental parameters; the current environmental parameters include the current temperature and the current humidity.

[0055] In this embodiment, suitable nursing conditions are determined based on a combination of the current temperature and humidity.

[0056] The vehicle's built-in temperature and humidity sensors can be used to detect the current temperature and humidity, respectively. The current temperature can be either the interior temperature or the exterior temperature; the current humidity can be either the interior humidity or the exterior humidity.

[0057] Alternatively, the current humidity can also be determined based on a rain sensor of a vehicle. For example, if the rain sensor is in an activated state, it indicates that it is currently raining, and it can be considered that the current humidity is relatively high; if the rain sensor is in a deactivated state, it indicates that the current weather is normal, and it can be considered that the current humidity is relatively low. This embodiment does not limit the specific methods for determining the current temperature and the current humidity.

[0058] Step A22: when the current temperature is between a first temperature threshold and a second temperature threshold, and the current humidity is between a first humidity threshold and a second humidity threshold, select a fragrance care agent and determine a first care agent concentration of the fragrance care agent, wherein the first temperature threshold is lower than the second temperature threshold, and the first humidity threshold is lower than the second humidity threshold.

[0059] In this embodiment, two temperature thresholds are preset, that is, the first temperature threshold T1 and the second temperature threshold T2, and two humidity thresholds are also preset, that is, the first humidity threshold H1 and the second humidity threshold H2; and the first temperature threshold T1 < the second temperature threshold T2, and the first humidity threshold H1 < the second humidity threshold H2.

[0060] If the current temperature T is between the first temperature threshold T1 and the second temperature threshold T2, and the current humidity H is between the first humidity threshold H1 and the second humidity threshold H2, that is, T1<T<T2 and H1<H<H2; in this case, it generally indicates that the environment where a target article is located has moderate temperature and moderate humidity, and at this time, the target article is generally in a relatively good condition and does not need excessive maintenance. In this embodiment, in this environment, a fragrance care mode is adopted, that is, fragrance care is performed on the target article.

[0061] Specifically, in this case, the fragrance care agent is selected, that is, the type of the care agent determined at this time is the fragrance care agent; and the concentration of the fragrance care agent, that is, the first care agent concentration, can be set. The fragrance care can be achieved by blowing the fragrance care agent with the first care agent concentration to the target article. For example, the concentration of the fragrance care agent can be adjusted by controlling the ventilation volume of an air outlet of a storage device; in this embodiment, a first ventilation volume corresponding to the first care agent concentration can be determined, and by controlling the storage device to blow the fragrance care agent at the first ventilation volume, care for the target article can be achieved.

[0062] Step A23: when the current temperature is lower than the first temperature threshold and the current humidity is higher than the second humidity threshold, select a sterilization / mildew removal care agent and determine a second care agent concentration of the sterilization / mildew removal care agent.

[0063] In this embodiment, if the current temperature T is lower than the first temperature threshold T1 and the current humidity H is higher than the second humidity threshold H2, that is, T<T1 and H>H2; in this case, it generally indicates that the environment where the target article is located is low in temperature and high in humidity, and the target article is generally in an environment with high humidity that is not easy to dry. In such an environment, the article is prone to problems such as bacterial growth or mildew, especially leather articles such as leather bags and leather shoes. In this embodiment, in this environment, a bacteria / mildew removal care mode is adopted, that is, bacteria and mildew removal care is performed on the target article.

[0064] Specifically, in this case, a bacteria / mildew removal care agent is selected, that is, the determined type of care agent is the bacteria / mildew removal care agent; for example, a care agent with a bacteria removal function, or a care agent with a mildew removal function, or a care agent with both bacteria removal and mildew removal functions can be selected. In addition, the concentration of the bacteria / mildew removal care agent, that is, the second care agent concentration, can be set. Bacteria and mildew removal care can be achieved by blowing the bacteria / mildew removal care agent with the second care agent concentration to the target article. For example, the concentration of the bacteria / mildew removal care agent can be adjusted by controlling the ventilation volume of the air outlet of the storage device; in this embodiment, the second ventilation volume corresponding to the second care agent concentration can be determined, and the care for the target article can be achieved by controlling the storage device to blow the bacteria / mildew removal care agent at the second ventilation volume.

[0065] Wherein, to ensure the bacteria and mildew removal effect, a higher concentration of bacteria / mildew removal care agent can be used, and the set second care agent concentration can be higher than the aforementioned first care agent concentration. For example, the second ventilation volume is larger than the aforementioned first ventilation volume, and the storage device blows the bacteria / mildew removal care agent to the target article with a large ventilation volume (i.e., the second ventilation volume).

[0066] Step A24: selecting a moisturizing care agent and determining the third care agent concentration of the moisturizing care agent when the current temperature is higher than the second temperature threshold and the current humidity is lower than the first humidity threshold.

[0067] In this embodiment, if the current temperature T is higher than the second temperature threshold T2 and the current humidity H is lower than the first humidity threshold H1, that is, T>T2 and H<H1; in this case, it generally indicates that the environment where the target article is located is high in temperature and low in humidity, and the target article is generally in a relatively dry environment. In such an environment, problems such as article damage are prone to occur; for example, leather articles may deform or even crack. In this embodiment, in this environment, a moisturizing care mode is adopted, that is, moisturizing care is performed on the target article.

[0068] Specifically, in this case, a moisturizing care agent is selected, that is, the type of care agent determined at this time is a moisturizing care agent; and the concentration of the moisturizing care agent, that is, the third care agent concentration, can be set. Moisturizing care can be achieved by blowing the moisturizing care agent with the third care agent concentration onto the target article. For example, the concentration of the moisturizing care agent can be adjusted by controlling the ventilation volume of the air outlet of the storage device; in this embodiment, the third ventilation volume corresponding to the third care agent concentration can be determined, and care for the target article can be achieved by controlling the storage device to blow the moisturizing care agent at the third ventilation volume.

[0069] Wherein, to achieve a moisturizing effect, generally a large amount of moisturizing care agent is not required, so a low-concentration moisturizing care agent can be used, and the set third care agent concentration can be smaller than the aforementioned first care agent concentration. For example, the third ventilation volume is smaller than the aforementioned first ventilation volume, and the storage device can blow the moisturizing care agent to the target article at a relatively low ventilation volume (that is, the third ventilation volume).

[0070] For example, Figure 3 a schematic diagram of care modes adopted under different temperature and humidity environments is shown. As Figure 3 shown, if T<T1 and H>H2, a sterilization / mildew removal care mode can be adopted; if T1<T<T2 and H1<H<H2, a fragrance care mode can be adopted; if T>T2 and H<H1, a moisturizing care mode can be adopted. Appropriate care modes can also be set as needed in other temperature and humidity environments, or no care can be performed. For example, in an environment with humidity H>H2 (for example, T>T2 and H>H2), the sterilization / mildew removal care mode can be adopted; in an environment with humidity H<H1 (for example, T<T1 and H<H1), the moisturizing care mode can be adopted. This embodiment does not limit the care modes in other temperature and humidity environments.

[0071] Wherein, if the current humidity is determined based on the rain sensor of the vehicle, when the rain sensor is in an on state, it can be considered that the current humidity is relatively high, for example, it can be considered that the current humidity H>H2, and thus the sterilization / mildew removal care mode can be used; when the rain sensor is in an off state, it can be considered that the current humidity is relatively low, for example, it can be considered that the current humidity H<H1, and thus the moisturizing care mode can be used.

[0072] In this embodiment, appropriate care conditions can be determined based on the current temperature and current humidity, so that the target article can be cared under different care modes; for a target article made of leather material, a good maintenance effect can be achieved, and the service life of the leather article can be improved.

[0073] In some alternative implementations, the corresponding care conditions can also be determined based on the material of the target article. Specifically, step 2021, "determining care conditions," may include steps B1 to B2.

[0074] Step B1: Determine the material of the target item.

[0075] Step B2: Determine the care conditions corresponding to the material of the target item.

[0076] The items carried by passengers are made of a certain material; for example, leather items can be further divided into different materials such as imitation leather, genuine leather, cowhide, and sheepskin. In this embodiment, different care methods can be used for items of different materials to better protect them.

[0077] When it is necessary to care for a target item, you can first determine the material of the target item, and then determine the corresponding care conditions for that material. This allows for targeted care of items made of different materials, which can further improve the care effect.

[0078] While image recognition and other technologies can be used to identify the material of an object, current methods have low accuracy and significant errors. To determine the material of an object more accurately, this embodiment pre-sets certain material data. Specifically, step B1, "determining the material of the target object," may include steps B11 to B13.

[0079] Step B11: Obtain the current image of the target item.

[0080] When it is necessary to determine the material of a target item, an image of the target item can be captured to determine the image of the target item, i.e., the current image. For example, an image of a target item carried by a passenger can be captured based on an in-vehicle camera. If it is determined that the target item needs to be cared for, the material of the target item can be determined based on subsequent steps B12 to B13.

[0081] Step B12: Compare the current image with the preset material data to determine the material corresponding to the current image; the material data includes the correspondence between the object image and the material.

[0082] Step B13: Use the material corresponding to the current image as the material of the target item.

[0083] In this embodiment, material data related to the material of an item is pre-set. This material data includes the correspondence between the image of at least one item and its material. Specifically, the material data may include the correspondence between the images of multiple items and their materials, and the target item may be one of these items.

[0084] After obtaining the current image of the target item, this image can be compared with the material data. Specifically, the current image is compared to the item images in the material data to determine which item image the current image matches. If the current image matches an item image, the material corresponding to that item image is taken as the material of the current image, i.e., the material of the target item. By using preset material data, material recognition is converted into item recognition. Therefore, leveraging the high accuracy of item recognition, the material of the target item can be determined relatively accurately.

[0085] For example, occupants can manually set the correspondence between object images and materials, creating material data, and then send this data to the vehicle controller or cloud server. When the vehicle controller needs to use this material data, it can read it locally or retrieve it from the cloud server for image comparison. Specifically, occupants can take pictures of their own belongings and assign corresponding materials to those images, thus establishing a correspondence between object images and materials. Alternatively, the vehicle's cameras can capture images of items carried by the occupants, creating corresponding object images, and then instructing the occupants to manually set the material for those images, also establishing a correspondence between object images and materials.

[0086] The vehicle control method provided in this embodiment allows the storage device to not only store target items but also care for them. This enables the same target item to have both storage and care functions, expanding its functionality and ensuring the storage device's versatility. Providing appropriate care conditions improves the care effect; suitable care conditions can be determined based on current temperature and humidity, allowing for care under different modes. Furthermore, by utilizing preset material data, material recognition is converted into item recognition. Leveraging the high accuracy of item recognition, the material of the target item can be determined relatively accurately.

[0087] Figure 4 A flowchart of a third embodiment of the vehicle control method of the present invention is shown, which can be executed by the vehicle's controller. This method can remind occupants to place their belongings in the vehicle's storage compartment, ensuring the items remain stable within the vehicle. This prevents items from being thrown out due to inertia during driving situations such as sudden braking, uneven road surfaces, or sharp turns, which could impact the driver's arm and affect driving safety, or cause inconvenience in retrieving them after they fall. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes steps 401 to 406.

[0088] Step 401: Detect whether the occupant is carrying the target item.

[0089] In this embodiment, the system can first detect whether the passenger is carrying any items, i.e., target items. For example, before the passenger boards the vehicle, an external camera can detect whether the passenger is carrying target items; or, after the passenger boards the vehicle, an internal camera can detect whether the passenger is carrying target items.

[0090] Step 402: If the occupant is carrying the target item, check whether the target item is placed in the storage device.

[0091] In this embodiment, if the occupant is not carrying the target item, there is generally no risk of the item falling or requiring care, and the process can be terminated in this case. If the occupant is carrying the target item, further detection can be performed to determine whether the target item is placed in the storage device.

[0092] For example, the magnitude or changes in values ​​collected by gravity sensors and pressure sensors within the storage unit can be used to determine whether an occupant has placed a target item inside the storage unit; alternatively, an in-vehicle camera can be used to monitor the items inside the storage unit to determine if the target item carried by the occupant is present; or, an in-vehicle camera can be used to determine whether the target item is located in other locations within the vehicle, such as above the armrest or above the seat; if the target item is located in other locations within the vehicle, it can be determined that the target item has not been placed in the storage unit.

[0093] Step 403: If the target item is not placed in the storage device, generate a reminder message. This reminder message is used to remind the occupant to place the target item in the storage device.

[0094] In this embodiment, if the target item is not placed in the storage compartment, there is a risk that it may fall out during the journey. Therefore, a reminder message can be generated to remind the passenger to place the target item in the storage compartment, ensuring that the items carried by the passenger are placed in a more organized manner. For example, the reminder message can be a voice message or a text message displayed on the in-vehicle screen. This embodiment does not limit the form of the reminder message.

[0095] Step 404: If the target item is placed in the storage device, generate an inquiry message to ask the occupant whether to take care of the target item.

[0096] If the target item has already been placed in the storage device, it can be further determined whether the target item needs care, thus determining whether the storage device should be used to care for the target item. In this embodiment, an inquiry message is sent to the occupant asking whether to care for the target item; that is, the vehicle can remind the occupant so that the occupant can actively determine whether the target item needs care. This inquiry message can be a voice message or the corresponding inquiry content can be displayed on the in-vehicle display screen; for example, if the occupant places their handbag in the storage device (such as the armrest box) after boarding the vehicle, the system can automatically announce to the occupant: "Activate the care function?"

[0097] Step 405: Upon receiving a response message indicating that a target item requires care, determine that the storage device contains the target item to be cared for.

[0098] In this embodiment, after an inquiry message is sent to the occupant, the occupant can respond accordingly. If the occupant responds that care is needed, a response message indicating that the target item requires care can be obtained. This confirms that the target item needs care, meaning the storage device contains the target item requiring care. The occupant can respond with a voice command, such as "open," to indicate the need for care, allowing the vehicle controller to receive the corresponding response message. Alternatively, the occupant can press a physical / virtual button to input the response message indicating the need for care into the vehicle controller. This embodiment does not limit the occupant's response method.

[0099] Step 406: Control the storage device to output the care agent to the target item.

[0100] When a target item requiring care is stored in the storage device, that item can be cared for. For details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 Step 102 of the illustrated embodiment, or Figure 2 Step 202 of the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0101] The vehicle control method provided in this embodiment allows the storage device to not only store target items but also care for them, thus expanding its functionality and ensuring its versatility. By reminding occupants carrying target items to place them in the storage device, occupants are guided to place items in appropriate locations, effectively preventing items from falling due to improper placement and ensuring safe and reliable driving. Furthermore, adding a care function to the storage function can encourage occupants to place their items in the storage device, making them more likely to proactively do so.

[0102] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the vehicle control device of the present invention is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle control device 500 includes a judgment module 501 and a control module 502.

[0103] The judgment module 501 is used to determine whether there is a target item to be cared for in the vehicle's storage device;

[0104] The control module 502 is used to control the storage device to output a care agent to the target item when the target item to be cared for is in the storage device.

[0105] In some optional implementations, the determination module 501 determines whether there is a target item to be cared for in the vehicle's storage compartment, including:

[0106] Detect whether the target item is placed inside the storage device;

[0107] When the target item is placed in the storage device, an inquiry message is generated to ask the occupant whether to take care of the target item;

[0108] Upon receiving a response message indicating that the target item requires care, it is determined that the storage device contains the target item requiring care.
