Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle rearview mirror adjustment, and in particular to a rearview mirror adjustment switch, method, vehicle and medium with control logic. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile industry, cars are not only a means of transportation, but also a mobile space that integrates high-tech and intelligent elements. Various systems inside the car, including entertainment, navigation, driving assistance, etc., have shown an increasingly strong sense of technology. However, in such a highly digital in-car environment, the design of in-car switches seems to be relatively lagging behind.

[0003] At present, the rearview mirror adjustment switch in the car is generally implemented by a mechanical switch or a knob switch. The mechanical switch refers to controlling the swing angle of the vehicle rearview mirror through four or eight independent direction keys, and the knob switch refers to controlling the swing angle of the vehicle rearview mirror through a freely swinging knob.

[0004] Whether it is a mechanical switch or a knob switch, there is a risk of accidental touch by the driver during driving. When the rearview mirror switch is accidentally touched, the driver cannot accurately judge the situation around the vehicle through the rearview mirror, which can easily lead to an accident. On the other hand, the existing rearview mirror switch is usually set on the left door of the main driver's seat. These rearview mirror switches are highly independent, so the size of the switch button is also large, which easily occupies the area of ​​the left door and affects the overall layout of the vehicle.

[0005] The preceding description is intended to provide general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related art, the embodiments of the present invention provide a rearview mirror adjustment switch, method, vehicle and medium with control logic.

[0010] Further, the direction adjustment area is connected to the left rearview mirror of the vehicle and the right rearview mirror of the vehicle; when the left rearview mirror adjustment switch or the right rearview mirror adjustment switch is triggered, all switches in the direction adjustment area are in an active state;

[0011] Wherein, when the left rearview mirror adjustment switch is triggered, the direction adjustment area outputs an adjustment signal for swinging upward, left, right or downward to the left rearview mirror of the vehicle; when the right rearview mirror adjustment switch is triggered, the direction adjustment area outputs an adjustment signal for swinging upward, left, right or downward to the right rearview mirror of the vehicle;

[0012] When the left rearview mirror adjustment switch or the right rearview mirror adjustment switch is not triggered, all switches in the direction adjustment area are in a dormant state and cannot output an adjustment signal.

[0013] Furthermore, light sources are arranged under the upper adjustment switch, the left adjustment switch, the right adjustment switch and the lower adjustment switch, and the corresponding switches are lit when the switches are in an active state, and are extinguished when the switches are in a dormant state.

[0014] Furthermore, when one of the left rearview mirror adjustment switch or the right rearview mirror adjustment switch is triggered, the other switches in the mode control area are in a dormant state and cannot output control signals; when the left rearview mirror adjustment switch or the right rearview mirror adjustment switch is not triggered, all switches in the mode control area are in an active state and can output control signals.

[0015] Furthermore, when the switch in the mode control area that is in a dormant state receives a trigger signal multiple times within a preset time threshold, the switch that receives the trigger signal is controlled to output a corresponding control signal, and at the same time all switches in the mode control area are controlled to be in an active state, and all switches in the direction adjustment area are controlled to be in a dormant state.

[0016] Furthermore, a light source is arranged under the left rearview mirror adjustment switch and the right rearview mirror adjustment switch, and the corresponding switch is lit when the switch is triggered, and the corresponding switch is extinguished when the switch is not triggered.

[0017] The second aspect of the present invention discloses a vehicle rearview mirror adjustment method, which is applied to the rearview mirror adjustment switch with control logic, and includes a function selection step and a rearview mirror adjustment step;

[0018] The function selection step comprises the following steps:

[0026] Triggering the right adjustment switch to swing the vehicle rearview mirror to the right;

[0027] The downward adjustment switch is triggered to swing the vehicle rearview mirror downward.

[0028] Furthermore, in the function selection step:

[0029] When the vehicle is in the left rearview mirror adjustment mode, triggering the left rearview mirror adjustment switch again can cause the vehicle to exit the left rearview mirror adjustment mode;

[0030] When the vehicle is in the right rearview mirror adjustment mode, triggering the right rearview mirror adjustment switch again can cause the vehicle to exit the right rearview mirror adjustment mode.

[0031] Further, the rearview mirror adjustment step is effective only when the vehicle is in the left rearview mirror adjustment mode or the right rearview mirror adjustment mode;

[0032] Wherein, when the vehicle is in the left rearview mirror adjustment mode, the rearview mirror adjustment step adjusts the left rearview mirror of the vehicle; when the vehicle is in the right rearview mirror adjustment mode, the rearview mirror adjustment step adjusts the right rearview mirror of the vehicle;

[0033] The function selection step is invalid when the vehicle is in the left rearview mirror adjustment mode or the right rearview mirror adjustment mode.

[0034] Furthermore, when the vehicle is in the left rearview mirror adjustment mode or the right rearview mirror adjustment mode, triggering the corresponding switch of the function selection step multiple times within a preset time threshold can cause the vehicle to exit the left rearview mirror adjustment mode or the right rearview mirror adjustment mode and execute the function selection corresponding to the switch.

[0035] The third aspect of the present invention discloses a vehicle, on which is installed an on-board computer and a rearview mirror adjustment switch with control logic, and the rearview mirror adjustment switch is connected to the on-board computer; the on-board computer includes a processor, a memory, and computer program instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, and when the processor executes the computer program instructions, the vehicle rearview mirror adjustment method is implemented.

[0036] A fourth aspect of the present invention discloses a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores computer-executable instructions, and when the computer-executable instructions are executed by a processor, they are used to implement the vehicle rearview mirror adjustment method.

[0037] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: In a rearview mirror adjustment switch, method, vehicle and medium with control logic, the rearview mirror adjustment switch of the vehicle is integrated with the rearview mirror folding switch, central door lock switch, etc. on a switch panel, effectively saving the switch occupied area.

[0048] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. At the same time, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0049] At present, the rearview mirror adjustment switch in the car is generally realized by a mechanical switch or a knob switch. The rearview mirror adjustment switch is set at the left door of the main driver's seat. The driver adjusts the swing angle of the left and right rearview mirrors of the car and folds the rearview mirrors by operating the rearview mirror switch.

[0050] Existing rearview mirror adjustment switches have the problems of large occupied area, weak correlation between switches, easy to touch by mistake, etc. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention provide a rearview mirror adjustment switch, method, vehicle and medium with control logic, which realizes efficient linkage of the interior rearview mirror and other functions in a limited space, while reducing the probability of false touch.

[0051] The first embodiment of the present invention discloses a rearview mirror adjustment switch with control logic. Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention integrates the rearview mirror selection switch, the rearview mirror adjustment switch and the central door lock switch on a switch panel, which can effectively save the space at the door. In other vehicle R&D processes such as the door panel thinning R&D process, the technical obstacles caused by the size of the rearview mirror switch are overcome.

[0052] The simulation effect diagram of the rearview mirror adjustment switch of the present invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2The dashed line portion represents the switch panel of the embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the rearview mirror adjustment switch of the present invention includes a mode control area and a direction adjustment area; the mode control area includes a left rearview mirror adjustment switch, a right rearview mirror adjustment switch, a rearview mirror folding switch and a central door lock switch. Among them, the left rearview mirror adjustment switch is used to output a control signal for selecting the left rearview mirror of the vehicle as the adjustment object; the right rearview mirror adjustment switch is used to output a control signal for selecting the right rearview mirror of the vehicle as the adjustment object; the rearview mirror folding switch is used to output a control signal for controlling the folding of the vehicle's dual-side rearview mirrors; and the central door lock switch is used to output a control signal for controlling the locking of the vehicle's door locks. Figure 1 As shown, the mode control areas of the embodiment of the present invention are distributed in the four corners of the switch panel; the left rearview mirror adjustment switch is represented by the letter "L", the right rearview mirror adjustment switch is represented by the letter "R", the rearview mirror folding switch is represented by a rearview mirror folding effect diagram, and the central door lock switch is represented by a door lock graphic.

[0053] On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, the direction adjustment area includes an upper adjustment switch, a left adjustment switch, a right adjustment switch and a lower adjustment switch; wherein the upper adjustment switch is used to output an adjustment signal for controlling the vehicle rearview mirror to swing upward; the left adjustment switch is used to output an adjustment signal for controlling the vehicle rearview mirror to swing left; the right adjustment switch is used to output an adjustment signal for controlling the vehicle rearview mirror to swing right; and the lower adjustment switch is used to output an adjustment signal for controlling the vehicle rearview mirror to swing downward. Figure 1 As shown, the direction adjustment area of ​​the embodiment of the present invention is located in the center of the switch panel; the upper adjustment switch is represented by an upward arrow "▲", and the left adjustment switch is represented by a leftward arrow " " indicates that the right adjustment switch uses a right-pointing arrow" ”, and the down adjustment switch is indicated by a downward arrow “▼”.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present invention, the switch panel can be implemented using a circuit board or a touch screen. In the case where the switch panel is implemented using a circuit board, the driver can trigger the switch by pressing the corresponding switch position. In the case where the switch panel is implemented using a touch screen, the driver can trigger the switch by placing a finger on the corresponding switch position through fingerprint or temperature sensing. Among them, the switch triggering method of the mode control area and the switch triggering method of the direction adjustment area may be different. For example, the switch triggering method of the mode control area is a single-click trigger. The driver needs to press the switch position once / contact the finger once to achieve the trigger response of the switch, so that the corresponding function of the vehicle is triggered; the switch triggering method of the direction adjustment area is a continuous trigger. The driver needs to continuously press the corresponding switch position / continuously contact the finger to achieve the trigger response of the switch, so that the vehicle rearview mirror continues to deflect in the corresponding direction.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, there is no restriction on the specific positions of the mode control area and the direction adjustment area on the switch panel. That is to say, the direction adjustment area can be set at the edge of the switch panel and the mode control area can be set at the center of the switch panel, as long as the switch in the mode control area and the switch in the direction adjustment area do not overlap on the switch panel.

[0056] Since the switch panel of the embodiment of the present invention may be small in size, the driver may accidentally touch other switches near the target switch when triggering the target switch. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention sets the control logic of each switch in a targeted manner. Specifically, the switch of the embodiment of the present invention has two control states: active state and dormant state. When the switch is in the active state, after the switch is triggered, the switch transmits the trigger response to the on-board computer, and the on-board computer transmits the corresponding control signal or adjustment signal to the vehicle rearview mirror or door to perform the corresponding operation; and when the switch is in the dormant state, after the switch is triggered, the switch transmits the trigger response to the on-board computer, and the on-board computer does not generate the corresponding control signal or adjustment signal to the vehicle rearview mirror or door, and the corresponding operation cannot be performed.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, the onboard computer sets three control modes for the switch panel: function selection mode, left rearview mirror adjustment mode and right rearview mirror adjustment mode. Among them, the function selection mode is the initial mode of the switch panel of the present invention. The in-vehicle data interaction process of the function selection mode is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, in this mode, the switch in the mode control area is effective and the switch in the direction adjustment area is ineffective. The equivalent switch panel diagram is as follows Figure 4 That is to say, in this mode, the driver can only use the left rearview mirror adjustment switch, the right rearview mirror adjustment switch, the rearview mirror folding switch and the central door lock switch in the mode control area, but cannot use the upper adjustment switch, the left adjustment switch, the right adjustment switch and the lower adjustment switch in the direction adjustment area. Since the switch failure in the direction adjustment area is set in the embodiment of the present invention, even if the driver accidentally touches other switches near the target switch when triggering the target switch due to the small size of the switch panel, the angle of the rearview mirror will not be offset to affect the driver's driving.

[0058] The in-vehicle data interaction process in the left / right rearview mirror adjustment mode in the implementation of the present invention is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, this mode can be entered by triggering the left rearview mirror adjustment switch or the right rearview mirror adjustment switch in the function selection mode. After entering the left / right rearview mirror adjustment mode, the upper adjustment switch, left adjustment switch, right adjustment switch and lower adjustment switch in the direction adjustment area will be set to active state, and in the function selection mode, except for the corresponding left / right rearview mirror adjustment switch that is triggered, the remaining switches will be set to dormant state. The equivalent switch panel diagram under the left rearview mirror adjustment switch is shown in the figure below. Figure 6As shown, the equivalent switch panel diagram under the trigger right rearview mirror adjustment switch is as follows Figure 7 As shown. The driver can now control the left or right rearview mirror of the vehicle to deflect to the corresponding direction by triggering the upper adjustment switch, left adjustment switch, right adjustment switch and lower adjustment switch. Even if the corresponding switch in the function selection mode is accidentally touched during the process, the switch will not take effect normally and will not affect the driver's adjustment of the rearview mirror. After the driver has adjusted the vehicle's rearview mirror, triggering the left / right rearview mirror adjustment switch again can exit the left / right rearview mirror adjustment mode and return to the function selection mode.

[0059] In some embodiments, in order to further remind the driver of the active state / dormant state of the switch, a light source is provided under the left rearview mirror adjustment switch, the right rearview mirror adjustment switch in the mode control area, and the upper adjustment switch, the left adjustment switch, the right adjustment switch, and the lower adjustment switch in the direction adjustment area of ​​the embodiment of the present invention. In the case where the switch adopts a circuit board, a luminous LED light source can be provided at the switch position to make the switch present a luminous effect; in the case where the switch adopts a touch screen, a local highlight is provided at the corresponding position of the touch screen to make the switch present a luminous effect.

[0060] When the switch panel is in function selection mode, the left rearview mirror adjustment switch, the right rearview mirror adjustment switch, and the upper adjustment switch, the left adjustment switch, the right adjustment switch and the lower adjustment switch will not light up; when the switch panel is in left rearview mirror adjustment mode, the left rearview mirror adjustment switch and the upper adjustment switch, the left adjustment switch, the right adjustment switch and the lower adjustment switch will light up, prompting the driver to adjust the vehicle's left rearview mirror through the upper adjustment switch, the left adjustment switch, the right adjustment switch and the lower adjustment switch in the direction adjustment area; when the switch panel is in right rearview mirror adjustment mode, the right rearview mirror adjustment switch and the upper adjustment switch, the left adjustment switch, the right adjustment switch and the lower adjustment switch will light up, prompting the driver to adjust the vehicle's right rearview mirror through the upper adjustment switch, the left adjustment switch, the right adjustment switch and the lower adjustment switch in the direction adjustment area.

[0061] In some embodiments, the left / right rearview mirror adjustment mode of the switch panel is also provided with another exit method: by triggering the switch in the dormant state multiple times within a preset time threshold, the switch panel can exit the left / right rearview mirror adjustment mode, return to the function selection mode and perform the operation corresponding to the triggered switch. Exemplarily, the time threshold can be set to 5 seconds, and the number of triggers can be set to 2 times, that is, the driver triggers the left rearview mirror adjustment switch, the right rearview mirror adjustment switch, the rearview mirror folding switch or the central door lock switch twice within 5 seconds, which can make the switch panel exit the left / right rearview mirror adjustment mode, return to the function selection mode and perform the corresponding operation. In this case, since the triggering methods of the mode control area switch and the direction adjustment area switch are set differently in the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to avoid the driver's accidental triggering of the switch. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the switch triggering mode of the mode control area is set to single-trigger, and the switch triggering mode of the direction adjustment area is set to when the switch panel is in the right rearview mirror adjustment mode, if the driver wants to adjust the angle of the right rearview mirror, the adjustment switch of the corresponding direction will be continuously triggered; and the switch triggering mode of the mode control area is single-trigger, so the driver will not exit the left / right rearview mirror adjustment mode if he continuously triggers the switch of the mode control area, and the left / right rearview mirror adjustment mode will only be exited if the driver triggers the switch of the mode control area multiple times. The synergy of the exit mode and the switch triggering mode not only facilitates the driver's quick operation, but also prevents the driver from triggering the switch by mistake.

[0062] The rearview mirror adjustment switch in the embodiment of the present invention optimizes the control logic of the rearview mirror switch, concentrates eight functions such as rearview mirror adjustment, folding, and central door lock in a smaller area, thereby reducing the overall size of the switch without affecting the normal triggering of the switch, and effectively assists the subsequent research and development of lightweight vehicles.

[0063] The second embodiment of the present invention discloses a vehicle rearview mirror adjustment method, which is applied to a rearview mirror adjustment switch with control logic of the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, the method includes a function selection step and a rearview mirror adjustment step;

[0064] The feature selection step includes the following steps:

[0065] Trigger the left rearview mirror adjustment switch to put the vehicle into the left rearview mirror adjustment mode;

[0066] Trigger the right rearview mirror adjustment switch to put the vehicle into the right rearview mirror adjustment mode;

[0067] Trigger the rearview mirror folding switch to fold the rearview mirrors on both sides of the vehicle;

[0068] Trigger the central door lock switch to lock the vehicle doors;

[0069] The mirror adjustment procedure includes the following steps:

[0070] Trigger the upward adjustment switch to swing the vehicle's rearview mirror upward;

[0071] Trigger the left adjustment switch to swing the vehicle's rearview mirror to the left;

[0072] Trigger the right adjustment switch to swing the vehicle's rearview mirror to the right;

[0073] Trigger the downward adjustment switch to swing the vehicle's rearview mirror downward.

[0074] The method of the embodiment of the present invention is installed on the on-board computer of the vehicle. The rearview mirror adjustment switch of the first embodiment is used as a trigger for the steps of the method of the embodiment of the present invention. When the switch receives the corresponding trigger signal, the on-board computer executes the corresponding steps of the switch to implement the vehicle rearview mirror adjustment method of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0075] Specifically, in the function selection step of the present invention:

[0076] When the vehicle is in the left rearview mirror adjustment mode, triggering the left rearview mirror adjustment switch again can make the vehicle exit the left rearview mirror adjustment mode; when the vehicle is in the right rearview mirror adjustment mode, triggering the right rearview mirror adjustment switch again can make the vehicle exit the right rearview mirror adjustment mode. In the embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle can exit the left / right rearview mirror adjustment mode by triggering the left / right rearview mirror adjustment switch multiple times within a preset time threshold, which is convenient for the driver to operate.

[0077] In some embodiments, the rearview mirror adjustment step is effective only when the vehicle is in the left rearview mirror adjustment mode or the right rearview mirror adjustment mode. When the vehicle is in the left rearview mirror adjustment mode, the rearview mirror adjustment step adjusts the left rearview mirror of the vehicle; when the vehicle is in the right rearview mirror adjustment mode, the rearview mirror adjustment step adjusts the right rearview mirror of the vehicle. The function selection step is invalid when the vehicle is in the left rearview mirror adjustment mode or the right rearview mirror adjustment mode. This part of the embodiments prevents the driver from accidentally touching other switches around the target switch when triggering the target switch, causing inconvenience in use by setting the effectiveness of the switch in the on-board computer.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the vehicle is in the left rearview mirror adjustment mode or the right rearview mirror adjustment mode, triggering the corresponding switch of the function selection step multiple times within a preset time threshold can cause the vehicle to exit the left rearview mirror adjustment mode or the right rearview mirror adjustment mode and execute the function selection corresponding to the switch. This part of the embodiment is a flexible triggering method for the switch setting of the mode control area. When the driver forgets the original exit method of the left / right rearview mirror adjustment mode, the driver can exit the left / right rearview mirror adjustment mode in a relatively simple way through the exit method of this part of the embodiment and execute the control operation corresponding to the triggered switch.

[0079] The contents in the embodiment of the rearview mirror adjustment switch of the present invention are all applicable to the embodiment of the rearview mirror adjustment method. The functions specifically implemented by the embodiment of the rearview mirror adjustment method are the same as those of the above-mentioned rearview mirror adjustment switch embodiment, and the beneficial effects achieved are also the same as those achieved by the above-mentioned rearview mirror adjustment switch.
