[0002] With the rapid advancement of vehicle intelligence, remote parking functionality is becoming increasingly common. Currently, it's mostly achieved through user mobile devices or vehicle remote keys. However, using mobile devices requires installing specific software, which can be burdensome for users. Furthermore, differences in mobile device operating systems can lead to data transmission delays, resulting in poor control and a bad user experience. Therefore, remote keys are now more prevalent. The current approach involves adding a dedicated button and electronic components for parking to the remote key, increasing its cost.

[0037] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0038] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0039] This application applies to vehicles. Figure 1 A schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario provided in this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a remote key 100 and a vehicle 200. The remote key 100 sends a parking message to the vehicle 200. Based on the received parking message, the vehicle 200 controls an image acquisition device to acquire a target image outside the vehicle. If the target image includes a corresponding image of a preset gesture, the vehicle is controlled to enter an automatic driving mode. The remote key 100 sends an automatic driving message to the vehicle 200. Based on the detected automatic driving message sent by the remote key, the vehicle 200 controls the vehicle to drive according to the driving parameters corresponding to the automatic driving mode. Figure 1 The remote key includes three switch function buttons, namely: lock button 101, unlock button 102, and trunk open button 103. The specific switch function buttons included in this application embodiment are not limited.

[0040] The technical solution of this application will be explained in detail below through several specific embodiments.

[0041] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle control method provided in this application includes the following steps 201 to 203.

[0042] 201. Based on the detection of a parking message sent by the remote key, control the image acquisition device to acquire target images outside the vehicle.

[0043] The parking message is generated when the first button on the remote key is triggered, and the first button is at least one switch function button on the remote key.

[0044] It can be understood that the target image is an image of the environment outside the vehicle, acquired by an image acquisition device installed on the vehicle.

[0045] It is understandable that parking messages can be parking instructions, which the vehicle executes upon receiving them; parking messages can also be identifiers used to indicate parking instructions, which the vehicle determines and executes upon receiving them. Parking messages are used to indicate vehicles exiting and entering parking spaces.

[0046] It is understood that the switch function buttons are the original function buttons in the remote key before the implementation of the embodiments of this application. For example, an actual remote key generally includes three switch function buttons: lock button, unlock button, and trunk open button. However, the switch function buttons in the corresponding remote key are different depending on the vehicle brand and model, and this application embodiment does not limit the specific switch function buttons.

[0047] It is understood that the first button reuses at least one on / off function button on top of the original buttons on the remote key. Specifically, the button layout of the original on / off function button can be changed to achieve a different function. For example, a short press of the unlock button sends an unlock message to the vehicle, unlocking it; a long press of the unlock button for more than 3 seconds sends a parking message to the vehicle, and the vehicle controls the image acquisition device to capture images of the external environment. Alternatively, the original on / off function buttons can be combined in different ways to achieve a different function. For example, simultaneous triggering of the unlock and lock buttons sends a parking message to the vehicle, and the vehicle controls the image acquisition device to capture images of the external environment. The specific reused buttons and methods are not limited in this embodiment.

[0048] 202. If the target image includes the corresponding image of the preset gesture, control the vehicle to enter the automatic driving mode.

[0049] It is understandable that the vehicle is in an active state before it enters automatic driving mode. Specifically, this could be achieved by detecting a parking message sent by the remote key to determine if the vehicle is in an active state. If the vehicle is active, the image acquisition unit is controlled to capture images of the environment outside the vehicle. If the vehicle is off, the image acquisition unit is controlled to capture images of the environment outside the vehicle only after the vehicle is powered on and started.

[0050] It is understandable that the image acquisition device continuously acquires images. For each frame of the acquired image, it identifies whether the target image includes the corresponding image of the preset gesture. If the corresponding image of the preset gesture is included, the vehicle is controlled to enter the automatic driving mode; if the corresponding image of the preset gesture is not included in the target image, the next frame of the image is acquired.

[0051] 203. Based on the detected automatic driving message sent by the remote key, control the vehicle to drive according to the driving parameters corresponding to the automatic driving mode.

[0052] The automatic driving message is generated when the second button on the remote key is triggered, and the second button is at least one switch function button on the remote key.

[0053] It is understandable that the driving parameters corresponding to the automatic driving mode include, for example, driving direction, optimal driving speed, maximum driving speed, maximum accelerator pedal depress angle, maximum engine speed, and maximum driving distance.

[0054] For example, based on the detected automatic driving message sent by the remote key, the vehicle is controlled to drive forward in a straight line at a speed of 10 km / h.

[0055] It's understandable that the first and second buttons can be the same or different. If the first and second buttons are the same, to distinguish between the different messages generated by triggering the first and second buttons, the button press methods could differ, such as a short press generating a parking message and a long press generating an automatic driving message; or they could be executed repeatedly based on priority, such as triggering the first button to generate a parking message the first time after the vehicle is powered on and started, triggering the first button to generate an automatic driving message the second time, triggering it a third time to generate a parking message, and so on. However, in practical applications, for ease of user memorization and operation, the first and second buttons are different.

[0056] In this embodiment, based on the detection of a parking message sent by the remote key, the image acquisition unit is controlled to acquire a target image outside the vehicle. The parking message is generated when a first button on the remote key is triggered, and the first button is at least one switch function button in the remote key. If the target image includes an image corresponding to a preset gesture, the vehicle is controlled to enter automatic driving mode. Based on the detected automatic driving message sent by the remote key, the vehicle is controlled to drive according to the driving parameters corresponding to the automatic driving mode. The automatic driving message is generated when a second button on the remote key is triggered, and the second button is at least one switch function button in the remote key. Thus, without adding additional function buttons to the remote key, by reusing the original switch function buttons in the remote key, the vehicle is put into automatic driving mode. Combined with gesture recognition, the vehicle is controlled to drive according to the driving parameters corresponding to the automatic driving mode, achieving automatic parking without increasing any hardware costs.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, combined with Figure 2 ,like Figure 3 As shown, after step 202 above, the vehicle control method provided in this application further includes step 204 below.

[0058] 204. Output target prompt information.

[0059] The target prompt information is used to prompt the vehicle to enter automatic driving mode.

[0060] It is understood that the target prompt message includes at least one of the following: a preset voice prompt message, or a preset light prompt message.

[0061] In this embodiment of the application, when the target image includes an image corresponding to a preset gesture, after controlling the vehicle to enter the automatic driving mode, the method further includes: outputting target prompt information, which is used to prompt the vehicle to enter the automatic driving mode. This allows the user to be notified of successful entry into the automatic driving mode, enabling the user to understand the current status of the vehicle before operating it to move, thus improving the user experience.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the automatic driving mode is a forward mode or a reverse mode; the above step 202 can be specifically implemented through the following steps 202a and 202b.

[0063] 202a. When the preset gesture is the forward gesture, control the vehicle to enter forward mode.

[0064] 202b. When the preset gesture is the reversing gesture, control the vehicle to enter the reversing mode.

[0065] It is understandable that the parking message is either a parking entry message or a parking exit message.

[0066] It is understandable that when the parking message is a parking in message, the default gesture is a reversing gesture. That is, for the captured image of the external environment, only the image containing the reversing gesture is identified (the image does not identify whether the forward gesture is included). If the image contains the corresponding image of the reversing gesture, the vehicle is controlled to enter the reversing mode. When the parking message is a parking out message, the default gesture is a forward gesture. That is, for the captured image of the external environment, only the image containing the forward gesture is identified (the image does not identify whether the reversing gesture is included). If the image contains the corresponding image of the forward gesture, the vehicle is controlled to enter the forward mode.

[0067] Optionally, combined Figure 2 ,like Figure 4 As shown, step 202a can be implemented by step 202c, step 202b can be implemented by step 202d, and after step 201, the vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment further includes step 205.

[0068] 202c. When the preset gesture is a forward gesture and the target image does not include the corresponding image of a reversing gesture, control the vehicle to enter forward mode.

[0069] 202d. When the preset gesture is a reversing gesture and the target image does not include the corresponding image of the forward gesture, control the vehicle to enter the reversing mode.

[0070] 205. If the target image includes images corresponding to both the forward and reverse gestures, output an error message.

[0071] Among them, the error message is used to indicate the message corresponding to the failed execution of the collected gesture.

[0072] It is understood that the abnormal prompt message includes at least one of the following: a voice prompt message, a light prompt message. The abnormal prompt message is to inform the user that the vehicle recognizes forward and reverse gestures, but the forward and reverse gestures correspond to different modes, and the vehicle cannot perform the corresponding control.

[0073] It is understandable that the target image can be obtained by a single panoramic image acquisition device, i.e., the target image is a single frame; or the target image can be multiple frames acquired at the same time by multiple image acquisition devices.

[0074] It is understandable that parking messages do not distinguish between parking entry and parking exit messages; they are only used to instruct the vehicle to collect images of the external environment.

[0075] It is understandable that if the target image only includes the corresponding image of the forward gesture, the vehicle will be controlled to enter forward mode; if the target image only includes the corresponding image of the reverse gesture, the vehicle will be controlled to enter reverse mode; if the target image includes both the corresponding images of the forward gesture and the corresponding images of the reverse gesture, an abnormal prompt message will be output.

[0076] In this embodiment, the automatic driving mode is either a forward mode or a reverse mode. When the target image includes the corresponding image of a preset gesture, controlling the vehicle to enter the automatic driving mode includes: controlling the vehicle to enter the forward mode when the preset gesture is a forward gesture and the target image does not include the corresponding image of a reverse gesture; controlling the vehicle to enter the reverse mode when the preset gesture is a reverse gesture and the target image does not include the corresponding image of a forward gesture. After controlling the image acquisition device to acquire environmental information outside the vehicle and obtaining the target image, the method further includes: when the target image includes the corresponding images of both the forward and reverse gestures, outputting an error message. The error message indicates that the message corresponding to the acquired gesture cannot be executed. Thus, the vehicle can enter different modes based on the recognized forward or reverse gesture, thereby achieving automatic parking out or automatic parking. Furthermore, when gestures conflict, a prompt message is output to indicate to the user that the control corresponding to the gesture cannot be executed, making automatic parking more intelligent and user-friendly.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, the automatic driving mode is a forward mode or a reverse mode; the image acquisition device includes a front-view camera and a rear-view camera; the above step 201 can be implemented by the following step 201a; the above step 202 can be implemented by the following steps 202e and 202f.

[0078] 201a. Control the front-view camera to acquire a first image outside the vehicle, and control the rear-view camera to acquire a second image outside the vehicle.

[0079] 202e. When the target image is the first image and the preset gesture is the first gesture, control the vehicle to enter forward mode.

[0080] 202f. When the target image is the second image and the preset gesture is the second gesture, control the vehicle to enter the reversing mode.

[0081] It can be understood that the parking message is either a parking entry message or a parking exit message. The parking exit message is used to instruct the front-view camera to capture images of the external environment of the vehicle, while the parking entry message is used to instruct the rear-view camera to capture images of the external environment of the vehicle.

[0082] It is understandable that when the parking message is a parking out message, the target image is the first image, and the preset gesture is the first gesture, that is, only the image of the external environment captured by the front-view camera is used. Only the image of whether the first image includes the forward gesture is recognized (whether the image includes the reversing gesture is not recognized). If the first image includes the corresponding image of the forward gesture, the vehicle is controlled to enter the forward mode. When the parking message is a parking in message, the target image is the second image, and the preset gesture is the reversing gesture, that is, only the image of the external environment captured by the rear-view camera is used. Only the image of whether the second image includes the corresponding image of the reversing gesture is recognized (whether the image includes the forward gesture is not recognized). If the second image includes the corresponding image of the reversing gesture, the vehicle is controlled to enter the reversing mode.

[0083] Optionally, combined Figure 2 ,like Figure 5 As shown, step 202e can be implemented by step 202g, step 202f can be implemented by step 202h, and after step 201a, the vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment further includes step 202i.

[0084] 202g. When the target image is the first image, the preset gesture is the first gesture, and the second image does not include the corresponding image of the second gesture, control the vehicle to enter the forward mode.

[0085] 202h, when the target image is the second image, the preset gesture is the second gesture, and the first image does not include the corresponding image of the first gesture, control the vehicle to enter the reversing mode.

[0086] 202i. If the first image includes the corresponding image of the first gesture and the second image includes the corresponding image of the second gesture, output an error message.

[0087] Among them, the error message is used to indicate the message corresponding to the failed execution of the collected gesture.

[0088] It is understood that the abnormal prompt message includes at least one of the following: a voice prompt message, a light prompt message. The abnormal prompt message is to inform the user that the vehicle recognizes forward and reverse gestures, but the forward and reverse gestures correspond to different modes, and the vehicle cannot perform the corresponding control.

[0089] It is understandable that parking messages do not distinguish between parking entry and parking exit messages; they are only used to instruct the front and rear cameras to capture images of the external environment.

[0090] It can be understood that if the first image includes the corresponding image of the forward gesture and the second image does not include the corresponding image of the backward gesture, the vehicle is controlled to enter forward mode; if the first image does not include the corresponding image of the forward gesture and the second image includes the corresponding image of the backward gesture, the vehicle is controlled to enter reverse mode; if the first image includes the corresponding image of the forward gesture and the second image includes the corresponding image of the reverse gesture, an abnormal prompt message is output.

[0091] Optionally, the first gesture and the second gesture are the same.

[0092] As can be understood, the first and second gestures are the same. In forward mode, recognizing the first gesture controls the vehicle to move forward according to the parameters corresponding to forward mode; in reverse mode, recognizing the first gesture controls the vehicle to reverse according to the parameters corresponding to reverse mode. In this way, users only need to remember one gesture to control the vehicle to park or exit, reducing the complexity of operation and thus improving the user experience.

[0093] In this embodiment, the automatic driving mode is either a forward mode or a reverse mode; the image acquisition device includes a front-view camera and a rear-view camera; controlling the image acquisition device to acquire target images outside the vehicle includes controlling the front-view camera to acquire a first image outside the vehicle and controlling the rear-view camera to acquire a second image outside the vehicle; when the target image includes an image corresponding to a preset gesture, controlling the vehicle to enter the automatic driving mode includes: when the target image is the first image, the preset gesture is the first gesture, and the second image does not include an image corresponding to the second gesture, controlling the vehicle to enter the forward mode; when the target image is the second image, the preset gesture is the second gesture, and the first image does not include an image corresponding to the first gesture, controlling the vehicle to enter the reverse mode; after controlling the front-view camera to acquire the first image outside the vehicle and controlling the rear-view camera to acquire the second image outside the vehicle, the method further includes: when the first image includes an image corresponding to the first gesture and the second image includes an image corresponding to the second gesture, outputting an abnormal prompt message, the abnormal prompt message indicating that the message corresponding to the acquired gesture cannot be executed. In this way, the vehicle can enter different modes based on the corresponding image of the first gesture in the first image captured by the forward-facing camera, or the corresponding image of the second gesture in the second image captured by the rear-facing camera, thereby achieving automatic parking out or automatic parking. When the first image includes the corresponding image of the first gesture and the second image includes the corresponding image of the second gesture, a prompt message is output to inform the user that the control corresponding to the gesture cannot be executed, making automatic parking more intelligent and user-friendly.

[0094] In some embodiments of this application, combined with Figure 2 ,like Figure 6As shown, after step 203 above, the vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment further includes the following step 206.

[0095] 206. Control the vehicle to stop driving based on the stop message sent by the remote key.

[0096] The stop message is generated when the third button of the remote key is triggered, and the third button is at least one switch function button in the remote key.

[0097] It should be noted that the description of the third button can be found in the description of the first button in step 201 above, and will not be repeated here. In practical applications, since the third button corresponds to stopping the vehicle, it is pressed briefly to stop the vehicle.

[0098] In this embodiment, after controlling the vehicle to drive according to the driving parameters corresponding to the automatic driving mode based on the automatic driving message, the method further includes: controlling the vehicle to stop driving based on a stop message sent by the remote key. The stop message is generated when a third button on the remote key is triggered, and the third button is at least one switch function button on the remote key. Thus, the vehicle can be flexibly controlled to stop during parking.
