The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0030] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a method, apparatus, vehicle, and storage medium for child monitoring in vehicles according to embodiments of this application. Addressing the issues mentioned in the background art, such as the inability to effectively monitor young children while the user is driving, the lack of targeted interaction methods, resulting in poor vehicle intelligence and practicality, and a reduced user experience, this application provides a method for child monitoring in vehicles. In this method, when there is a young child in the vehicle, the system automatically detects the child's status and executes corresponding interactive actions based on the child's actual needs. This improves the user's monitoring efficiency to a certain extent, ensures the child's healthy development, alleviates the user's mental and physical stress, enhances the vehicle's intelligence and practicality, and improves the user experience. Therefore, this solves the problems in related technologies, such as the inability to effectively monitor young children while the user is driving, the lack of targeted interaction methods, resulting in poor vehicle intelligence and practicality, and a reduced user experience.
[0031] Before explaining the child monitoring method for vehicles provided in the embodiments of this application, the functions of the vehicles involved in the embodiments of this application will be illustrated by examples.
[0032] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a structural diagram illustrating the function of a vehicle according to one embodiment of this application.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, 1 is a high-strength anti-collision child safety seat, 2 is a vehicle microphone, 3 is a vehicle multimedia display, 4 is an electric temperature-regulating and electric lifting insulator, 5 is a high-strength anti-collision child seat canopy, and 6 is a vehicle computer.
[0034] Specifically, the anti-collision high-strength child safety seat 1 has an electrically adjustable seat back angle and is equipped with a multi-point seat belt to secure the child in the seat. It also features seat heating, ventilation, and massage functions.
[0035] Passengers inside the vehicle can use the onboard microphone 2 to have voice conversations with the vehicle's calculator from different seats. In addition, AI software can collect children's language and speech information through the onboard microphone 2.
[0036] The in-vehicle multimedia display 3 can play visual multimedia content such as video images, and its angle is adjustable.
[0037] The electric temperature-regulating and electric lifting thermostat 4 can cool, heat, and keep warm children's drinking containers. It can be embedded in the children's seat and placed near the guardian's seat.
[0038] The high-strength anti-collision toddler seat canopy 5 is fixed together with the anti-collision high-strength toddler safety seat 1 as a whole. It has a built-in independent sound zone speaker, air conditioning vent, and a camera that can monitor the toddler and identify the toddler's behavior and actions.
[0039] The vehicle-mounted computer 6 can integrate AI artificial intelligence software, voice control software, electrical control software, and communication hardware and software.
[0040] Specifically, Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a child monitoring method for a vehicle provided in this application embodiment.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the child monitoring method for this vehicle includes the following steps:
[0042] In step S201, it is detected whether the passengers in the vehicle meet the preset conditions for young children.
[0043] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the preset preschool conditions may refer to the period from birth to three years of age, or to a group whose general intellectual function is significantly lower than that of their peers during the developmental period. This application does not impose any specific limitations.
[0044] Furthermore, in this application embodiment, the actual situation of passengers in the vehicle can be obtained through a camera, vehicle radar or other acquisition device, which can be, but is not limited to, the number of people, height, body type, etc., so as to facilitate subsequent use of image processing or matching algorithms to identify whether the passengers in the vehicle meet the preset conditions for children. It is also possible to determine whether there are children in the vehicle by human settings. This application does not impose specific limitations.
[0045] For example, the vehicle function design involved in the embodiments of this application can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown above, this has been explained in detail and will not be repeated here.
[0046] In actual implementation, the embodiments of this application can detect the actual situation of passengers in the vehicle through a camera, and use the vehicle computer to determine whether the passengers in the vehicle meet the conditions for a child. When there is a child in the vehicle, the system can provide care and attention to the child, alleviate user fatigue, improve user satisfaction and happiness, and to a certain extent reduce driver irritability and improve vehicle driving safety.
[0047] In step S202, when it is detected that the passenger in the vehicle meets the preset conditions for a child, the passenger in the vehicle is determined to be a child, and the child's actual mental state is collected.
[0048] It is understandable that a child's actual mental state can be categorized, but is not limited to, whether they are crying, needing to eat, or asleep. This application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.
[0049] Among them, whether a child cries or not, if the child is relatively quiet and does not cry or show abnormal reactions such as hyperactivity or scratching, it can be indicated that the child's actual mental state is quiet; if the child cries frequently or cries for a long time, it can be indicated that the child's actual mental state is crying.
[0050] To determine if a child needs to eat, you can check their actual mental state if they haven't eaten for a long time, ate little at the last meal, or are crying frequently.
[0051] Whether a child is asleep or not can be determined by whether they have not slept for a long time, whether their last sleep was short, or whether they cry frequently.
[0052] Furthermore, in this application embodiment, the actual mental state of the child can be collected through sound devices, including but not limited to microphones, speakers, and audio equipment, or through image devices, including but not limited to cameras and radar. This application does not impose specific limitations.
[0053] As one possible implementation method, embodiments of this application can collect the actual mental state of a child when there is a child in the vehicle, and determine the next action to be performed based on the child's actual mental state.
[0054] For example, in this embodiment of the application, when there is a child in the vehicle, the presence of a child in the vehicle can be determined by the in-vehicle multimedia display or the anti-collision high-strength child safety seat, and the actual mental state of the child can be analyzed by the in-vehicle multimedia display and the vehicle computer, thereby preparing for the next action.
[0055] This application embodiment can collect and judge the actual mental state of a child in real time when the child is in the vehicle, and determine the next action to be performed based on the child's actual mental state. It can respond to the child's actual mental state in a timely and accurate manner, provide users with safe and feasible care suggestions, reduce user stress, and create a good riding environment.
[0056] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, collecting the child's actual mental state includes: collecting the child's voice signals and / or movement signals; and determining the child's actual mental state based on the voice signals and / or movement signals.
[0057] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can collect the child's voice signals through sound devices, or through other devices; this application does not impose specific limitations. Similarly, the embodiments of this application can collect the child's motion signals through image devices, or through other devices; this application does not impose specific limitations. Furthermore, the embodiments of this application can install devices such as speakers, microphones, and cameras in the rear seats and around the vehicle body.
[0058] In some embodiments, the child's voice signals can be collected through sound devices such as speakers and microphones, and the child's motion signals can be collected through image devices such as cameras. The collected voice and motion signals are then uploaded to the vehicle's computer to identify and analyze the child's actual mental state and make appropriate responses, thereby reducing the occurrence of crying scenes, relieving user stress, improving user happiness and satisfaction during the journey, and increasing user stickiness.
[0059] For example, in this embodiment of the application, when a child is in the anti-collision high-strength child safety seat and the child's voice cannot be collected by the vehicle microphone, the child's status collected by the vehicle multimedia display can be transmitted to the vehicle computer, and the vehicle computer can further determine whether the child needs to sleep or eat based on the analysis results of the vehicle computer.
[0060] The embodiments of this application can use sound and movement to determine the actual mental state of a child. Different actions can be performed in different mental states of the child, which improves the accuracy of vehicle monitoring of children and increases the comfort of children in the vehicle.
[0061] In step S203, the target monitoring action of the vehicle is matched according to the actual mental state, and at least one interactive device of the vehicle is controlled to perform the target monitoring action.
[0062] It is understood that the target monitoring actions of the vehicle may include, but are not limited to: playing audio and video, adjusting the interior temperature, adjusting the interior humidity, opening and closing the doors, massage, etc., and this application does not impose specific restrictions.
[0063] For example, in this embodiment of the application, when it is detected that the child's body temperature is too high or the child is about to take off his / her clothes, the vehicle's air conditioning can be controlled to lower the temperature and create a comfortable temperature environment for the child; when it is detected that the child is about to change clothes or prepare to sleep, the vehicle's air conditioning can be controlled to raise the temperature to prevent the child from getting sick due to the low temperature inside the vehicle; when the child is about to sleep, the vehicle's music player can be further controlled to select and play soothing and sleep-inducing music to create a suitable music environment for the child to sleep, etc.
[0064] As one possible approach, embodiments of this application can match the target monitoring actions of the vehicle with the actual mental state of the child, and control the corresponding interactive device of the vehicle to perform the target monitoring actions.
[0065] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the target monitoring action of the vehicle is matched according to the actual mental state, including: if the mental state is in an entertainment state, the target monitoring action is to control the multimedia display of the vehicle to move to the entertainment position corresponding to the child and control the multimedia display to play entertainment videos for the child; if the mental state is in a resting state, the target monitoring action is to control the child seat to enter the massage and sleep-inducing mode and control the vehicle to play preset sleep-aiding music; if the mental state is in a breastfeeding state, the target monitoring action is to raise the insulated container for the milk drink and adjust the child seat to the target breastfeeding posture.
[0066] It is understandable that the vehicle target monitoring actions matched with different mental states of young children are also different. Among them, the mental states of young children can be divided into: entertainment state, resting state, and waiting to be fed state, etc. The specific settings can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and this application does not impose specific restrictions.
[0067] Specifically, once all passengers have boarded and the vehicle has departed, the vehicle's computer monitors the children's language signals in real time via microphones while the vehicle is in motion. If a child uses the onboard microphone to emit language signals such as playing, having games, or watching cartoons, the onboard computer will respond by lowering the onboard multimedia display to a suitable height and playing relevant animations to interact with the child. This, combined with the child's physical and verbal responses, completes the interactive game and entertainment.
[0068] If a child is detected crying and needs to sleep while the vehicle is in motion, the guardian can be asked if assistance is needed to soothe the child to sleep. If assistance is needed, the massage function of the anti-collision high-strength child safety seat can be activated electronically. The seat will gently massage the child to sleep, and at the same time, it will play soothing music at a healthy volume using big data algorithms. Bedtime stories can also be told to help the child fall asleep.
[0069] After the guardian places the child in the high-strength anti-collision child safety seat and secures the seat belt, the vehicle's computer can determine the seat belt's fixation status based on the camera and inform the guardian via audio that the milk drink can be placed in the electrically adjustable and lifting warmer now or later to keep the child's milk drink warm.
[0070] In actual implementation, the embodiments of this application can match different target monitoring actions of the vehicle according to the different mental states of the children, and can respond to the different mental states of the children in a timely and accurate manner, relieve the mental and physical stress of the users, improve the efficiency of the users' care, and ensure the healthy development of the children.
[0071] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, matching the target monitoring action of the vehicle according to the actual mental state further includes: if the mental state is awake and the guardian corresponding to the child is asleep, then the target monitoring action is an interactive action to wake up the guardian.
[0072] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the actual mental state can be divided into, but is not limited to, the child, the child's guardian, and other people. The actual mental state of the child, the child's guardian, and other people can be divided into, for example, being awake or asleep. This application does not impose any specific restrictions.
[0073] In actual implementation, the embodiments of this application can match the vehicle's target monitoring actions according to different mental states. For example, when the child's actual mental state is awake and the child's corresponding guardian is asleep, the vehicle's target monitoring action is to wake the guardian and perform corresponding preparatory actions in advance based on the detected needs of the child.
[0074] For example, when the vehicle's computer detects that the toddler has woken up, if the camera detects that the guardian is also asleep or resting, the guardian can be woken up. If the toddler expresses a need for breastfeeding, the electric temperature-regulating and electric lifting warmer will be controlled to raise the warmed milk or beverage in advance, and the high-strength anti-collision child safety seat will be adjusted to a suitable angle to assist the guardian in breastfeeding or giving the toddler water.
[0075] This application embodiment can match the corresponding vehicle target monitoring action according to different people's mental state. When the child's actual mental state is awake and the child's corresponding guardian is asleep, the corresponding vehicle target monitoring action is to wake up the guardian and perform other preparatory actions in advance according to the child's actual needs to ensure the child's safety, relieve the driver's pressure, and further create a good riding environment.
[0076] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, before detecting whether the passenger inside the vehicle meets the preset conditions for a young child, the method further includes: acquiring an image of the items carried by the passenger outside the vehicle; determining whether the passenger outside the vehicle meets the preset opening conditions based on the image of the items carried; and opening the vehicle door when the passenger outside the vehicle meets the preset opening conditions.
[0077] It is understood that image acquisition devices, such as cameras, camcorders, scanners, etc., can be used, as can sensor devices, such as millimeter-wave radar, lidar, etc., or a combination of image acquisition devices and sensor devices can be used. This application does not impose any specific restrictions.
[0078] The camera can be installed on the front side of each door of the vehicle, and the millimeter-wave radar can be installed on the front, body and rear of the vehicle. The specific installation location can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and this application does not impose specific restrictions.
[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, the image information captured by the camera and the information captured by the millimeter-wave radar are transmitted to the vehicle's computer for processing using image processing algorithms. Based on the processed results, a judgment is made, and the door is automatically opened when the conditions for opening the door are met. The conditions for opening the door may include, but are not limited to, situations such as the external space being greater than half the vehicle body or passengers carrying too many items outside the vehicle. This application does not impose specific limitations.
[0080] For example, when a guardian walks to the vicinity of the car door with a stroller, the vehicle's computer uses onboard radar and panoramic imaging to determine if there is enough space nearby and the parking location is relatively open. If so, it will automatically open the car door for the passenger to enter the vehicle.
[0081] As one possible implementation, the embodiments of this application can automatically open the car door when the passengers outside the vehicle meet the preset opening conditions. For guardians with young children, this reduces the action of opening the door, saves manpower, and allows guardians to focus their energy more on the children.
[0082] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, opening a vehicle door includes: identifying the openable space of the door; calculating the maximum opening value of the door based on the openable space; and opening the door to the maximum opening value.
[0083] It is understandable that common car door opening methods include swing doors, sliding doors, double doors, wing doors, and butterfly doors. The states of these doors can be categorized as fully open, partially open / closed, and fully closed, etc., but this application does not impose specific limitations on these states.
[0084] In actual implementation, the embodiments of this application can calculate the maximum opening value of the car door based on the space where the car door can be opened. The maximum opening value varies depending on the door opening method. The specific setting method can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.
[0085] For example, when the vehicle arrives at its destination, it uses vehicle radar and panoramic imaging to determine if there is enough space nearby and the parking location is relatively open. In this case, the vehicle door will automatically open for passengers, making it easier for guardians to take the child out.
[0086] If the surrounding space is small, if the door opens by sliding, it can be fully opened depending on the door's opening space; if the door opens by swinging, it can be half-open depending on the door's opening space.
[0087] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: determining whether the vehicle meets preset collision conditions; if the vehicle meets the preset collision conditions, controlling at least one protective device of the vehicle to perform a preset protective action on the child.
[0088] It is understood that the protective devices in the embodiments of this application may refer to: child seats, seat belts, airbags, child shelters, etc.
[0089] In some embodiments, when a vehicle collision occurs, the protective devices in the vehicle can protect the child to the greatest extent possible, minimize unnecessary injuries to the child, improve the child's protection, enhance the guardian's confidence in the vehicle while it is in motion, and increase user engagement.
[0090] For example, when a vehicle encounters an emergency while driving, such as sudden braking or a collision, a high-strength anti-collision child seat canopy and a high-strength anti-collision child safety seat can help protect the child from debris, maximizing the child's safety and preventing injury to the child in the event of an emergency.
[0091] The child monitoring method for vehicles proposed in this application can automatically detect the status of a child in the vehicle when there are passengers inside. It can also execute corresponding interactive actions based on the child's actual needs. In the event of a collision, the vehicle's protective equipment can enhance the protection of the child, ensuring their safety and reducing unnecessary injuries. To a certain extent, this improves the efficiency of childcare, ensures the healthy development of the child, alleviates the user's mental and physical stress, enhances the vehicle's intelligence and practicality, and improves the user experience. Therefore, it solves the problems in related technologies where effective monitoring of children is impossible while the user is driving, the interaction methods lack specificity, resulting in poor vehicle intelligence and practicality, and a reduced user experience.
[0092] Next, referring to the accompanying drawings, a child monitoring device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of this application is described.
