[0002] With the rapid development of vehicle technology, automobiles have become one of the main means of transportation for people. During vehicle driving, in some scenarios, the driver needs to acquire images inside or outside the vehicle, and the current acquisition of images inside or outside the vehicle is mainly through a driving recorder or the driver's mobile phone.

[0003] Since the image acquisition range of the driving recorder is relatively limited, and when the driver's mobile phone is used to acquire images inside or outside the vehicle, in order to ensure driving safety, the vehicle must be parked before image acquisition, which may result in images that cannot meet the driver's needs.

[0051] By acquiring the external environmental features of the target vehicle during its driving process, it is determined whether an external environment matching the driver's preferred environmental characteristics is encountered during the vehicle's journey. If the environmental similarity between the current external environmental feature and the target environment is greater than or equal to a first similarity threshold, the current external environmental feature is considered to match the driver's preferred characteristics, thus achieving automatic judgment on whether the external environment meets the driver's preferences. Furthermore, based on the relationship between environmental similarity and a second similarity threshold, external driving images are automatically acquired using a second or third image acquisition device. This eliminates the need for the driver to park the vehicle after encountering a preferred driving environment and then use other electronic devices (such as mobile phones or cameras) to acquire external driving images, improving image acquisition efficiency and vehicle driving efficiency, and ensuring driving safety during the image acquisition process.

[0057] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle provided in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] Before providing a detailed explanation of the vehicle image acquisition method provided in the embodiments of this application, the implementation environment involved in the embodiments of this application will be introduced first.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an implementation environment according to an exemplary embodiment. The implementation environment includes a first image acquisition device 101, a second image acquisition device 102, a third image acquisition device 103, a processor 104, and a memory 105. The processor 104 can communicate with the first image acquisition device 101, the second image acquisition device 102, and the third image acquisition device 103, respectively. This communication connection can be wired or wireless; this embodiment does not limit the specific connection.

[0061] The first image acquisition device 101 is used to acquire the external environmental features of the vehicle during its driving process.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first image acquisition device 101 can be an external driving environment recorder, which can record the driving environment characteristics of the current vehicle in real time and send the driving environment characteristics to the processor 104.

[0063] The first image acquisition device 101 may include multiple image acquisition devices distributed at different locations on the vehicle to achieve 360-degree acquisition of the vehicle's driving environment features; or it may be a single image acquisition device capable of achieving 360-degree image acquisition, which can be selected according to the specific needs of use.

[0064] In some embodiments, depending on different usage requirements, the first image acquisition device may also be a single-sided or multi-sided image acquisition device, such as an image acquisition device capable of acquiring images from one or more sides of the vehicle's left, right, front, rear, top, or bottom.

[0065] The second image acquisition device 102 and the third image acquisition device 103 are used to acquire images of the target vehicle's exterior. The image acquisition accuracy of the second image acquisition device 102 is lower than that of the third image acquisition device 103.

[0066] It is understandable that, since the image acquisition accuracy of the second image acquisition device 102 is lower than that of the third image acquisition device 103, the third image acquisition device 103 has higher pixels, can capture images at a greater distance, and consumes more energy than the second image acquisition device 102.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first image acquisition device 101 and the second image acquisition device 102 can be the same image acquisition device, that is, the acquisition of the external environment features during the vehicle's driving process can be achieved through the second image acquisition device 102; the first image acquisition device 101 can also be the same image acquisition device as the third image acquisition device 103, that is, the acquisition of the external environment features during the vehicle's driving process can be achieved through the third image acquisition device 103.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the first image acquisition device 101 and the second image acquisition device 102 (or the third image acquisition device 103) are respectively set, in order to reduce the image acquisition energy consumption of the first image acquisition device 101 in the normally open state (i.e., to acquire the external environmental features of the vehicle in real time during the vehicle's driving process), the first image acquisition device 101 can be an image acquisition device with a lower acquisition accuracy than the second image acquisition device 102.

[0069] Similarly, the second image acquisition device 102 and the third image acquisition device 103 may also include multiple image acquisition devices distributed at different locations on the vehicle, or a single image acquisition device capable of 360-degree image acquisition, or an image acquisition device capable of unilateral or multilateral image acquisition.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first image acquisition device 101, the second image acquisition device 102, and the third image acquisition device 103 are integrated into an image acquisition module. The processor 104 can control the image acquisition module to achieve high-precision acquisition (acquired by the third image acquisition device 103) and low-precision acquisition (acquired by the second image acquisition device 102) of the external environment features.

[0071] The processor 104 is used to determine the environmental similarity between the features of the external environment and the features of the target environment, and when the environmental similarity is greater than a first similarity threshold, it controls the second image acquisition device 102 or the third image acquisition device 103 to acquire the driving image outside the vehicle.

[0072] The processor 104 may include a feature comparison model to determine the environmental similarity between features of the vehicle's external environment and features of the driver's preferred environment.

[0073] The memory 105 is used to store the vehicle exterior driving images acquired by the second image acquisition device 102 or the third image acquisition device 103.

[0074] The vehicle image acquisition method provided in this application embodiment is executed by the aforementioned processor 104. The processor 104 can be a general-purpose CPU (Central Processing Unit), an NP (Network Processor), a microprocessor, or one or more integrated circuits used to implement the solution of this application, such as an ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or a combination thereof. The aforementioned PLD can be a CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a GAL (Generic Array Logic), or any combination thereof.

[0075] Those skilled in the art should understand that the first image acquisition device 101, the second image acquisition device 102, the third image acquisition device 103, the processor 104, and the memory 105 described above are merely examples. Other existing or future image acquisition devices, processors, and memories that are applicable to the embodiments of this application should also be included within the scope of protection of the embodiments of this application, and are hereby incorporated by reference.

[0076] It should be noted that the implementation environment described in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application. As those skilled in the art will know, as the implementation environment evolves, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0077] The driving image acquisition method provided in the embodiments of this application will be explained in detail below.

[0078] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a vehicle image acquisition method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method is applied to the processor 104 described above. The target vehicle includes a first image acquisition device, a second image acquisition device, and a third image acquisition device. The second and third image acquisition devices are installed on the exterior of the target vehicle. The image acquisition accuracy of the second image acquisition device is lower than that of the third image acquisition device. Please refer to... Figure 2 The method includes the following steps.

[0079] Step 201: Obtain the external environmental features of the target vehicle during its driving process using the first image acquisition device.

[0080] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle, the acquisition of external environmental features during the vehicle's operation can be stopped based on the driver's control (such as turning or pressing a specific button, sending voice commands, etc.). For example, the first image acquisition device can be turned off based on the driver's control, and the first image acquisition device can be turned on based on the driver's control when it is necessary to acquire external environmental features.

[0081] For example, an image acquisition control button can be provided in the driver's position of the vehicle. When the vehicle's current remaining energy (such as battery power or fuel level) is low or the driver does not want the first image acquisition device to acquire the external environmental features of the vehicle during driving, the driver can press the first image acquisition device control button to turn off the first image acquisition device. When the driver wants the first image acquisition device to acquire the external environmental features of the vehicle during driving, the driver can press the first image acquisition device control button again to turn on the first image acquisition device.

[0082] For example, the driver can send voice commands containing keywords such as "first image acquisition device" and "on / off" to the processor 104 to turn the first image acquisition device on and off. The specific keywords can be selected based on actual usage needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0083] Step 202: Determine the environmental similarity between the vehicle's external environmental features and the target environmental features, where the target environmental features are the driver's preferred environmental features.

[0084] In some embodiments, the driver's preferred environmental features can be obtained based on images actively uploaded by the driver or selected by the driver on the Internet, using a deep learning model.

[0085] For example, based on internet big data, images of driving environment features, such as driving images taken by different drivers, can be pushed to in-vehicle interactive terminals, such as pushing them to the driver's mobile terminal via an application, or pushing them to the ECU (electronic control unit) of the target vehicle. The driver can then evaluate the pushed images of the driving environment, such as positive evaluations (like, click "like") or negative evaluations (dislike, click "dislike"), so that the deep learning model can learn the driver's preferred environmental features based on the driver's evaluation.

[0086] In some embodiments, different preference environmental feature models can be established based on different environmental types, such as road types (e.g., city roads, town roads, country lanes, mountain roads, Gobi roads, expressways, etc.), natural scenery types (e.g., hillsides, rivers, canyons, woodlands, grasslands, etc.), and meteorological types (e.g., rain, snow, sunrise, sunset, sun and moon, starry sky, etc.) to more accurately learn users' preferences for different types of environmental features.

[0087] In some embodiments, considering that different drivers have different preferences for environmental characteristics, the target environmental characteristics corresponding to the driver's identity information can be determined based on the driver's identity information (such as the driver's facial features, fingerprint features, specific password gestures, specific buttons, etc.) before the target vehicle is started (or before the image acquisition function is started).

[0088] For example, the memory can store multiple databases containing different preferred environmental features. Each database corresponds to the identity information of a driver. The processor can determine the target database corresponding to the current driver from the multiple databases based on the driver's identity information, thereby obtaining the target environmental features corresponding to the current driver.

[0089] Step 203: If the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the first similarity threshold, acquire the vehicle exterior driving image through the second image acquisition device or the third image acquisition device.

[0090] Specifically, if the environmental similarity is less than the second similarity threshold, the vehicle exterior driving image is acquired by the second image acquisition device; if the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the second similarity threshold, the vehicle exterior driving image is acquired by the third image acquisition device, and the first similarity threshold is less than the second similarity threshold.

[0091] If the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the first similarity threshold, it can be assumed that the external environmental features at the current driving position of the target vehicle may match the preferences of the driver of the target vehicle. Therefore, the external driving images can be acquired by the second or third image acquisition device.

[0092] Furthermore, considering that the second and third image acquisition devices have different acquisition accuracies, different energy consumption for acquiring driving images, different clarity of the acquired driving images, and different storage space occupied by the driving images, the image acquisition devices for acquiring vehicle exterior driving images can be further classified based on the second similarity threshold.

[0093] When the environmental similarity is less than the second similarity threshold (i.e., the environmental similarity is between the first and second similarity thresholds), it can be considered that the external environmental features at the current target vehicle's driving position only basically match the driver's preferences. Therefore, a second image acquisition device with lower acquisition precision can be used to acquire the external driving images. When the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the second similarity threshold, it can be considered that the external environmental features at the target vehicle's driving position are more in line with the driver's preferences. Therefore, a third image acquisition device with higher acquisition precision can be used to acquire the external driving images.

[0094] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle, the acquisition of images of the vehicle exterior by the second or third image acquisition device can be stopped based on the driver's control (such as turning on or pressing a specific button, sending voice commands, etc.), such as turning off the second or third image acquisition device based on the driver's control.

[0095] For example, when the driver turns off the second image acquisition device and the environmental similarity between the features of the external environment and the features of the target environment is greater than or equal to a first similarity threshold, the external driving image can be acquired by the third image acquisition device based on the driver's settings. If the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the first similarity threshold, the external driving image is acquired by the third image acquisition device; or if the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the first similarity threshold and less than the second similarity threshold, the external driving image is not acquired. If the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the second similarity threshold, the external driving image is acquired by the third image acquisition device (i.e., the external driving image is acquired by the third image acquisition device only when the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the second similarity threshold).

[0096] When the driver turns off the third image acquisition device and the environmental similarity between the features of the external environment and the features of the target environment is greater than or equal to the first similarity threshold, the external driving image can be acquired by the second image acquisition device based on the driver's settings. If the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the first similarity threshold, the external driving image is acquired by the second image acquisition device. If the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the first similarity threshold but less than the second similarity threshold, the external driving image is not acquired. If the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the second similarity threshold, the external driving image is acquired by the second image acquisition device (i.e., the external driving image is acquired by the second image acquisition device only when the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the second similarity threshold).

[0097] In some embodiments, when acquiring vehicle exterior images using a second or third image acquisition device, the 360-degree exterior environment features acquired by the second or third image acquisition device can be used as the vehicle exterior images. Alternatively, based on the similarity between the vehicle exterior environment features and target environment features, the vehicle exterior environment feature acquired by the second or third image acquisition device with the highest similarity can be used as the vehicle exterior images (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown).

[0098] In some embodiments, the processor can also learn the driver's preferred shooting methods based on the characteristics of the target environment, such as preferred image size, preferred focus point, preferred filter, etc., so as to obtain different shooting methods for different environmental characteristics (such as sunrise, sunset, trees, roads, etc.) to control the second image acquisition device or the third image acquisition device to acquire vehicle exterior driving images through the driver's preferred shooting methods.

[0099] The images of the vehicle exterior can be either video or photographs, depending on the driver's choice to determine whether the image acquisition method is video or photographic.

[0100] In some embodiments, the default image acquisition method can be photography (i.e. video recording), and specific video frames in the acquired video can be used as images of the vehicle exterior.

[0101] In some embodiments, before the second image acquisition device or the third image acquisition device acquires images of the vehicle exterior, the method further includes: if the target vehicle's image acquisition permission allows automatic shooting, performing the step of acquiring images of the vehicle exterior through the second image acquisition device or the third image acquisition device; if the target vehicle's image acquisition permission does not allow automatic shooting, providing an image acquisition reminder to indicate that there is currently an external environment that suits the driver's preferences; and responding to the driver's image acquisition command, performing the step of acquiring images of the vehicle exterior through the second image acquisition device or the third image acquisition device.

[0102] In some embodiments, image acquisition permissions for the current trip (or within a specific duration, or until the next change) can be determined based on the driver's control (such as pressing or toggling specific buttons, sending voice commands, etc.). If the target vehicle's image acquisition permission is set to allow system capture, it indicates that the driver allows the second or third image acquisition device to automatically capture images of the vehicle's exterior. Therefore, the step of capturing images of the vehicle's exterior through the second or third image acquisition device can be executed. If the target vehicle's image acquisition permission is set to disallow automatic capture, it indicates that the driver does not allow the second image acquisition device and the second acquisition device to automatically capture images of the vehicle's exterior. Therefore, if the environmental similarity between the external environmental features and the target environmental features is greater than or equal to a first similarity threshold, it can be considered that the current external environment matches the driver's preferences, and an image acquisition reminder can be issued.

[0103] In some embodiments, image capture reminders can be given to the driver through an in-vehicle interactive terminal (such as an ECU) or other electronic products capable of human-machine interaction (such as a smart speaker).

[0104] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the driver's driving safety and avoid excessive driver distraction, image acquisition reminders can be carried out through voice interaction or specific feedback modules (such as vibration of the driver's seat, flashing of dashboard indicator lights, etc.).

[0105] In some scenarios, when the driver does not wish to receive image capture reminders, the driver can set image capture reminder permissions for the target vehicle based on the driver's control (such as toggling or pressing specific buttons, sending voice commands, etc.), such as allowing reminders only or disallowing reminders.

[0106] It is understandable that if the target vehicle's image acquisition permission is set to not allow automatic shooting and its image acquisition reminder permission is set to not allow reminders, it can be assumed that the vehicle's external driving image will only be acquired through the second or third image acquisition device based on the driver's image acquisition instruction.

[0107] Therefore, in some embodiments, when the target vehicle's image acquisition permission is set to not allow automatic shooting and the image acquisition reminder permission is set to not allow reminders, the first, second, and third image acquisition devices of the target vehicle can be in a normally off state. Only when the driver's image acquisition command is received will the corresponding image acquisition devices be controlled to turn on and acquire images of the vehicle's exterior.

[0108] The driver's image acquisition commands can be executed by the driver pressing or toggling specific buttons, or by using voice commands within the driver's device. It should be noted that the specific buttons in this embodiment can be mechanical buttons in the target vehicle or virtual buttons in the in-vehicle interactive terminal; the choice depends on the actual usage requirements, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0109] In some embodiments, when the driver's voice command is used as the image acquisition command, the voice command needs to include acquisition keywords (such as shooting, video recording, taking photos, etc.), and may also include directional keywords (left, front, right, etc.) or device keywords (such as high precision, low precision, first, second, third, etc.). This allows for the acquisition of vehicle exterior images from a specific location based on a specific image acquisition device, using the keywords included in the driver's command.

[0110] In some embodiments, the voice command may include only the keyword "collection," indicating that the driver currently needs the acquisition device to collect images of the vehicle's exterior. Upon receiving the voice command, the processor controls the first image acquisition device to start, and based on the relationship between the environmental similarity between the external environment features and the target environment features and a second similarity threshold, controls the second or third image acquisition device to collect images of the vehicle's exterior.

[0111] In some embodiments, the target vehicle further includes an in-vehicle interactive terminal; after acquiring the exterior driving image through the second image acquisition device or the third image acquisition device, the method further includes: displaying the exterior driving image through the in-vehicle interactive terminal and providing a storage reminder to remind the driver whether to store the exterior driving image; and storing the exterior driving image in response to the driver's storage instruction.

[0112] It should be noted that, in order to improve the storage space utilization efficiency of the memory, after acquiring the external driving image, the external driving image can be displayed on the in-vehicle interactive terminal to remind the driver to save it.

[0113] In some embodiments, after displaying the exterior driving image through the in-vehicle interactive terminal and providing a storage reminder, the method further includes: responding to the driver's deletion instruction, or deleting the exterior driving image if the duration of displaying the exterior driving image through the in-vehicle interactive terminal exceeds a duration threshold.

[0114] In some embodiments, based on the exterior driving image displayed on the in-vehicle interactive terminal, the driver's interaction commands can include three types: storage, post-processing storage, and deletion. In response to the driver's storage command, the exterior driving image is directly stored; in response to the driver's post-processing deletion command, the exterior driving image is processed based on the driver's interaction actions (such as zooming in on the image, selecting a frame in the exterior driving image, adding a filter, reducing exposure, etc.), and the processed exterior driving image is stored; in response to the driver's deletion command, the exterior driving image is directly deleted.

[0115] In some embodiments, if the duration of the collected external driving image (or the display duration on the in-vehicle interactive terminal) is greater than the duration threshold and no storage instruction (or the aforementioned interactive instruction) has been received from the driver, it can be assumed that the driver is not interested in the external driving image and the external driving image can be deleted directly.

[0116] To ensure the safety of the target vehicle during its operation, the vehicle-mounted interactive terminal can display and store the external driving images when the second or third image acquisition device acquires images of the vehicle and the target vehicle's speed is less than a speed threshold (or the target vehicle is parked).

[0117] In some embodiments, the exterior driving image can also be displayed via other electronic devices capable of human-computer interaction, such as on the driver's mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone) via a specific application.

[0118] In some embodiments, the driver's control (such as setting image storage permissions) can be used to ensure that after capturing images of the vehicle exterior through the second or third image acquisition device, no storage reminder is given, and the images of the vehicle exterior are directly stored.

[0119] If the vehicle's external driving images are stored directly without a storage reminder, a new image addition reminder can be sent via the in-vehicle interactive terminal when the target vehicle's speed is below a speed threshold (or the target vehicle is parked), to remind the driver that new external driving images have been stored during this trip.

[0120] In some embodiments, before displaying the vehicle exterior image and storing the reminder through the in-vehicle interactive terminal, the method further includes: if the environmental similarity is less than a third similarity threshold, performing the step of displaying the vehicle exterior image and storing the reminder through the in-vehicle interactive terminal, wherein the third similarity threshold is greater than the second similarity threshold; and if the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the third similarity threshold, directly storing the vehicle exterior image.

[0121] To further improve image acquisition efficiency, if the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the third similarity threshold, it can be assumed that the external environmental features at the target vehicle's driving position are extremely consistent with the driver's preferences. Therefore, it is not necessary to display the external driving image through the in-vehicle interactive terminal and have the driver determine whether it needs to be stored; the external driving image can be stored directly.

[0122] In some embodiments, after acquiring vehicle exterior images through the second or third image acquisition device, the vehicle exterior images can be displayed through the in-vehicle interactive terminal; the driver's evaluation information on the vehicle exterior images can be obtained, and the target environment features can be updated based on the evaluation information.

[0123] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the driver's driving safety, the external driving images captured by the image acquisition device (second image acquisition device or third image acquisition device) can be displayed through the in-vehicle interactive terminal when the target vehicle's speed is less than the speed threshold or when the target vehicle is in a parked state.

[0124] The external driving images displayed through the in-vehicle interactive terminal can be external driving images that have been captured by the image acquisition device and stored in the memory.

[0125] In some embodiments, the vehicle exterior image can also be displayed on other electronic products capable of human-computer interaction, such as PCs (Personal Computers), mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), wearable devices, PPCs (Pocket PCs), tablets, etc., using technologies such as cloud platforms. The specific choice can be made based on the driver's needs.

[0126] Referring to the description above, the evaluation information may include positive and / or negative evaluations. For example, the type of evaluation information may only include positive evaluations. When a driver gives a positive evaluation to the external driving image, the environmental features in that image can be considered as the driver's preferred environmental features, and the target environmental features are updated based on these features. When a driver refuses to give a positive evaluation to the external driving image, the environmental features in that image can be considered as not the driver's preferred environmental features, and the target environmental features are not updated.

[0127] In another example, the type of evaluation information may include only negative evaluations. When a driver gives a negative evaluation to the external driving image, the environmental features in the external driving image can be considered as the driver's averse environmental features, and the target environmental features can be updated based on the environmental features in the external driving image. When a driver refuses to give a negative evaluation to the external driving image, the environmental features in the external driving image can be considered as not the driver's averse environmental features, and the target environmental features are not updated.

[0128] As another example, the evaluation information can include positive and negative evaluations. When the driver gives a positive evaluation to the external driving image, the environmental features in the external driving image can be considered as the driver's preferred environmental features, and the target environmental features are updated based on the environmental features in the external driving image. When the driver gives a negative evaluation to the external driving image, the environmental features in the external driving image can be considered as the driver's disliked environmental features, and the target environmental features are updated based on the environmental features in the external driving image. When the driver refuses to give an evaluation to the external driving image, the environmental features in the external driving image can be considered as neither the driver's preferred nor disliked environmental features, and the target environmental features are not updated.

[0129] In some embodiments, the evaluation information may also be evaluations of different degrees, such as liking, liking very much, disliking, disliking very much, etc.

[0130] In some embodiments, when displaying images of vehicles outside the vehicle through an in-vehicle interactive terminal, the driver can also edit the images, such as cropping, adding filters, deleting, etc. Based on the driver's editing, the system learns the driver's preferred composition features, preferred image filters, and disliked image features, and updates the target features accordingly.

[0131] In some embodiments, the target vehicle further includes a fourth image acquisition device installed inside the target vehicle; the method further includes: acquiring an interior driving image using the fourth image acquisition device while acquiring an exterior driving image using the second image acquisition device or the third image acquisition device; or, in response to the driver's image acquisition command, acquiring an interior driving image using the fourth image acquisition device.

[0132] In some embodiments, the image acquisition permission of the fourth image acquisition device can be determined based on the driver's control. When the image acquisition permission of the fourth image acquisition device is set to allow automatic shooting, the device can automatically acquire in-vehicle driving images while acquiring external driving images. When the image acquisition permission of the fourth image acquisition device is set to disallow automatic shooting, the device will not be activated while acquiring external driving images until an image acquisition command from the driver is received, at which point the device will acquire in-vehicle driving images. The control of image acquisition permission can be based on the relevant descriptions above and will not be repeated here.

[0133] The fourth image acquisition device can be installed on the windshield, rearview mirror, or other locations of the target vehicle to capture the faces of the driver and passengers. It can also be installed in the center of the vehicle to capture a 360-degree view of the interior environment. Alternatively, it can be installed on the rear windshield to enable simultaneous imaging from the interior to the exterior. Furthermore, it can include multiple image acquisition devices distributed in different locations within the vehicle to achieve image acquisition based on different imaging effects. The specific location of the fourth image acquisition device can be determined based on actual usage requirements; this application does not limit this.

[0134] In some embodiments, after storing driving images, the stored driving images can be automatically uploaded to a big data platform to achieve automatic sharing of driving images. Alternatively, the sharing of driving images can be achieved based on the driver's choice of image upload permissions (such as automatic upload, upload after permission, or no upload). For example, when the image upload permission is set to automatic upload, the stored driving images are automatically uploaded to the big data platform; when the image upload permission is set to upload after permission, an upload reminder can be issued when storing the driving image, and the driving image is uploaded to the big data platform in response to the driver's upload command; when the image upload permission is set to no upload, the driving image is not uploaded and no upload reminder is issued.

[0135] In some embodiments, when uploading driving images to the big data platform, the location information of the driving images can also be uploaded to the big data platform simultaneously. Based on the driving images and location information in the big data platform, a "driving image acquisition point" (check-in point) is generated. When the target vehicle is currently located at the driving image acquisition point, the image acquisition function is automatically activated, and the external driving images are acquired based on the second or third image acquisition device.

[0136] For example, when multiple driving images uploaded to the big data platform correspond to the same location, a driving image acquisition point is generated. If the target vehicle's current location is at a driving image acquisition point, external driving images can be automatically acquired using a second or third image acquisition device. The specific image acquisition device used for acquiring external driving images can be determined based on usage requirements (such as driver settings, production settings, or environmental similarity), and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0137] In this embodiment, considering that a driver may not be able to capture driving images of interest in a timely manner while driving, a first image acquisition device acquires the external environmental features of the target vehicle during its driving process. The environmental similarity between these external environmental features and the target environmental features determines whether the external environment is the driver's preferred environment. If the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to a first similarity threshold, the current external environment is considered to meet the driver's preferences. Based on the relationship between the environmental similarity and a second similarity threshold, a second or third image acquisition device acquires external driving images, thus achieving automatic judgment of whether the external environment meets the driver's preferences, and, if it does, automatic acquisition of external driving images.

[0138] Furthermore, to improve the efficiency and flexibility of image acquisition equipment, image acquisition permissions and commands are set, allowing for flexible changes in image acquisition methods based on specific usage scenarios. Considering the potential for excessive storage space consumption when many images are acquired, after acquiring exterior driving images, a storage reminder is displayed on the in-vehicle interactive terminal. The images are only stored after the driver confirms the save, avoiding unnecessary images from consuming excessive storage space and improving storage utilization. Recognizing that the driver's preferred environmental characteristics may change, after acquiring exterior driving images, the in-vehicle interactive terminal displays these images and updates the target environmental characteristics based on the driver's evaluation. This ensures that the target environmental characteristics change according to the driver's evaluation of the exterior driving images, improving the accuracy and real-time nature of the driver's preferred environmental characteristics. Additionally, a fourth image acquisition device is incorporated to acquire interior driving images, enhancing the comprehensiveness of image acquisition and improving the driver's user experience.

The target vehicle includes a first image acquisition device, a second image acquisition device, and a third image acquisition device.

[0142] The image acquisition module 403 is used to acquire images of vehicles outside the vehicle through the second image acquisition device or the third image acquisition device when the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the first similarity threshold.

[0143] Specifically, if the environmental similarity is less than the second similarity threshold, the vehicle exterior driving image is acquired by the second image acquisition device; if the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to the second similarity threshold, the vehicle exterior driving image is acquired by the third image acquisition device, and the first similarity threshold is less than the second similarity threshold.

[0159] In response to the driver's image acquisition command, the fourth image acquisition device acquires in-vehicle driving images.

[0160] In this embodiment, considering that a driver may not be able to capture driving images of interest in a timely manner while driving, a first image acquisition device acquires the external environmental features of the target vehicle during its driving process. The environmental similarity between these external environmental features and the target environmental features determines whether the external environment is the driver's preferred environment. If the environmental similarity is greater than or equal to a first similarity threshold, the current external environment is considered to meet the driver's preferences. Based on the relationship between the environmental similarity and a second similarity threshold, a second or third image acquisition device acquires external driving images, thus achieving automatic judgment of whether the external environment meets the driver's preferences, and, if it does, automatic acquisition of external driving images.

[0161] Furthermore, to improve the efficiency and flexibility of image acquisition equipment, image acquisition permissions and commands are set, allowing for flexible changes in image acquisition methods based on specific usage scenarios. Considering the potential for excessive storage space consumption when many images are acquired, after acquiring exterior driving images, a storage reminder is displayed on the in-vehicle interactive terminal.

For example, accelerometer 511 can be used to detect the components of gravitational acceleration along the three axes. Processor 501 can control touchscreen 505 to display the user interface in landscape or portrait view based on the gravitational acceleration signal acquired by accelerometer 511. Accelerometer 511 can also be used for games or for acquiring user motion data.

[0176] The gyroscope sensor 512 can detect the orientation and rotation angle of the vehicle 500.

When the user's identity is identified as trusted, the processor 501 authorizes the user to perform relevant sensitive operations, including unlocking the screen, viewing encrypted information, downloading software, making payments, and changing settings. The fingerprint sensor 514 can be located on the front, back, or side of the vehicle 500. When the vehicle 500 has physical buttons or a manufacturer's logo, the fingerprint sensor 514 can be integrated with the physical buttons or manufacturer's logo.

[0179] An optical sensor 515 is used to collect ambient light intensity. In one embodiment, the processor 501 can control the display brightness of the touch screen 505 based on the ambient light intensity collected by the optical sensor 515. Specifically, when the ambient light intensity is high, the display brightness of the touch screen 505 is increased; when the ambient light intensity is low, the display brightness of the touch screen 505 is decreased. In another embodiment, the processor 501 can also dynamically adjust the shooting parameters of the camera assembly 506 based on the ambient light intensity collected by the optical sensor 515.

[0180] The proximity sensor 516, also known as a distance sensor, is typically installed on the front panel of the vehicle 500. The proximity sensor 516 is used to detect the distance between the user and the front of the vehicle 500. In one embodiment, when the proximity sensor 516 detects that the distance between the user and the front of the vehicle 500 is gradually decreasing, the processor 501 controls the touchscreen display 505 to switch from a screen-on state to a screen-off state; when the proximity sensor 516 detects that the distance between the user and the front of the vehicle 500 is gradually increasing, the processor 501 controls the touchscreen display 505 to switch from a screen-off state to a screen-on state.
