Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and more specifically, to a seat control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium in the field of vehicle control technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automotive technology, car seats are usually equipped with seat ventilation and heating systems to improve the user experience.

[0003] Most existing seat ventilation and heating systems are designed with fixed settings (such as 1, 2, 3, and 4). However, everyone's comfort standards are different, and fixed settings cannot meet users' needs for fine adjustment of ventilation and heating intensity.

[0004] Therefore, effective solutions to the above problems are urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a seat control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium. This application can obtain the ventilation intensity and / or heating intensity corresponding to different pressures based on the curves of pressure applied by the user to the seat and ventilation and / or heating intensity, thereby realizing personalized adjustment of ventilation and / or heating intensity.

[0006] In a first aspect, a seat control method is provided, comprising: when the ventilation and / or heating functions of the seat are activated, acquiring the pressure exerted on each target area in contact with the seat by the user, thereby obtaining multiple pressures; wherein each target area includes a ventilation area and / or a heating area; for each pressure, acquiring the target intensity corresponding to the pressure from a first parameter curve, thereby obtaining the target intensity corresponding to each of the multiple pressures, wherein the first parameter curve is a parameter curve relating to pressure and intensity; wherein the pressure is the pressure applied by the user to the seat when in contact with the seat, and the intensity is the ventilation intensity and / or heating intensity of the seat; and adjusting the ventilation intensity and / or heating intensity of each target area according to the target intensity corresponding to each of the multiple pressures.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, when the seat's ventilation and / or heating functions are activated, multiple pressures are obtained by acquiring the pressure exerted on each target area in contact with the user and the seat. Each target area includes a ventilation area and / or a heating area. Based on these multiple pressures, the target intensity corresponding to each pressure is obtained from a first parameter curve relating pressure and intensity. The ventilation and / or heating intensity of each target area is then adjusted according to the target intensity corresponding to each pressure. Because this solution can obtain the ventilation and / or heating intensities corresponding to different pressures applied by the user to the seat from the first parameter curve, it can provide continuously adjustable ventilation and / or heating intensities according to different user habits, meeting personalized user needs. Simultaneously, it monitors and automatically adjusts the ventilation and / or heating intensities based on the pressure applied by the user to the seat in real time, ensuring the driver can maintain focus while driving, improving driving safety, and significantly enhancing the overall experience for passengers.

[0008] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some possible implementations, before obtaining the target intensity corresponding to the pressure from the first parameter curve based on the pressure to obtain the target intensity corresponding to each of the multiple pressures, the method further includes: obtaining the first parameter and the second parameter corresponding to each of the multiple users; wherein the first parameter includes the first pressure and the second pressure applied by the user to the seat, the first pressure being less than the second pressure, and the second parameter includes the first intensity and the second intensity of the seat's ventilation and / or heating when the seat's ventilation and / or heating functions are turned on, the first intensity being less than the second intensity; constructing the first parameter curve based on the third parameter and / or the fourth parameter corresponding to each of the multiple users; wherein the third parameter includes the first pressure and the first intensity, and the fourth parameter includes the second pressure and the second intensity.

[0009] Based on this technology, by acquiring the first and second pressures applied to the seat by multiple users, and the first and second intensities of the seat's ventilation and / or heating functions when they are activated, a first parameter curve relating pressure and intensity is constructed based on the first pressure and first intensity, and / or the second pressure and second intensity for each user. This allows for personalized adjustment of the seat's ventilation and / or heating intensity when the first parameter curve is applied to the seat control method, provided the user activates the seat's ventilation and / or heating functions.

[0010] Combining the first aspect and the above implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, a first parameter curve is constructed based on the third and / or fourth parameters corresponding to multiple users, including: for each user, constructing a second parameter curve for pressure and intensity based on the user's corresponding third and / or fourth parameters to obtain the second parameter curves corresponding to multiple users; and merging the second parameter curves corresponding to multiple users to obtain the first parameter curve.

[0011] Based on this technology, a mapping relationship between the pressure applied by a user to the seat and the ventilation and / or heating intensity can be established based on the pressure and intensity parameters of multiple users. Since the sample data used to construct the mapping relationship consists of the pressure and intensity parameters corresponding to each user, this sample data can more accurately reflect the personalized needs of different individuals, making the constructed mapping relationship more comprehensive and refined, thereby increasing the applicability of the first parameter curve and meeting the personalized needs of different individuals.

[0012] Combining the first aspect and the above implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, based on the user's corresponding third parameter and / or fourth parameter, a second parameter curve for pressure and intensity is constructed, including: determining a first coordinate based on the user's corresponding third parameter; determining a first curve for the user based on the coordinate origin and the first coordinate; determining a second coordinate based on the user's corresponding fourth parameter; determining a second curve for the user based on the first and second coordinates; and constructing the second parameter curve for the user based on the first and second curves.

[0013] Based on this technology, a first curve and a second curve can be constructed according to the third and fourth parameters, respectively. A second parameter curve can then be constructed based on the first and second curves. Since different pressure ranges in the second parameter curve correspond to different adjustment rates, a refined adjustment scheme can be provided for different pressure ranges when adjusting ventilation and / or heating intensity. This ensures that the ventilation and / or heating system provides the most suitable ventilation and / or heating intensity within different pressure ranges, more accurately meeting user needs and avoiding over- or under-adjustment.

[0014] Combining the first aspect and the above implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, the second parameter curves corresponding to multiple users are fused to obtain the first parameter curve, including: obtaining the first slope of the first curve corresponding to multiple users; obtaining the second slope of the second curve corresponding to multiple users; determining the first average slope of the first slope corresponding to multiple users; determining the second average slope of the second slope corresponding to multiple users; determining the average pressure of the first pressure corresponding to multiple users; and constructing the first parameter curve based on the first average slope, the second average slope, and the average pressure.

[0015] Based on this technology, a first parameter curve is constructed by integrating the second parameter curves corresponding to multiple users. Since the construction of the first parameter curve is based on average pressure and average slope, it can more precisely describe the relationship between pressure and intensity. In application, a reasonable intensity can be determined from the first parameter curve according to different pressures, enhancing the responsiveness and adaptability of the seat ventilation and / or heating system to pressure changes of different users.

[0016] Combining the first aspect and the above implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, a second parameter curve for pressure and intensity corresponding to the user is constructed based on the third parameter and / or fourth parameter corresponding to the user, including: determining the third coordinate based on the third parameter corresponding to the user; and determining the second parameter curve corresponding to the user based on the origin of the coordinate system and the third coordinate.

[0017] Based on this technology, the third coordinate is determined by the third parameter, and the second parameter curve about pressure and intensity can be quickly constructed based on the origin and the third coordinate.

[0018] Combining the first aspect and the above implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, the second parameter curves corresponding to multiple users are fused to obtain the first parameter curve, including: obtaining the third slope of the second parameter curves corresponding to multiple users; determining the third average slope of the third slopes corresponding to multiple users; and constructing the first parameter curve based on the third average slope.

[0019] Based on this technology, the first parameter curve is constructed using the third average slope, which can improve the accuracy of curve construction and ensure that the first parameter curve can accurately reflect the relationship between pressure and intensity, providing users with ventilation and heating regulation that better meets their actual needs.

[0020] Secondly, a seat control device is provided, the seat control device comprising:

[0021] The acquisition module is used to acquire the pressure exerted on each target area in contact with the seat when the seat's ventilation and / or heating functions are activated, thereby obtaining multiple pressures; wherein each target area includes a ventilation area and / or a heating area; and, for each pressure, to acquire the target intensity corresponding to the pressure from a first parameter curve, thereby obtaining the target intensity corresponding to each of the multiple pressures, wherein the first parameter curve is a parameter curve relating to pressure and intensity; wherein the pressure is the pressure applied by the user to the seat when in contact with it, and the intensity is the ventilation intensity and / or heating intensity of the seat;

[0022] The control module is used to adjust the ventilation intensity and / or heating intensity of each target area according to the target intensity corresponding to multiple pressures.

[0023] Thirdly, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including: a memory for storing executable program code;

[0024] A processor is used to call and run executable program code from memory, causing the vehicle to perform the seat control method in the first aspect or any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0025] Fourthly, a computer program product is provided, comprising: computer program code, which, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to perform the seat control method described in the first aspect or any possible implementation thereof.

[0026] Fifthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided that stores computer program code, which, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to perform the seat control method of the first aspect or any possible implementation thereof. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions in this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.

[0039] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0040] Currently, most existing seat ventilation and heating systems are designed with fixed gears (such as 1, 2, 3, and 4). However, everyone's comfort standards are different, and the fixed gear settings cannot meet users' needs for fine adjustment of ventilation and heating intensity.

[0041] Furthermore, existing seat ventilation and heating systems mostly rely on mechanical buttons for adjustment, which presents numerous inconveniences in actual operation. Especially while driving, the driver needs to shift their gaze from the road to the central control area to locate and operate the corresponding buttons. This process not only interrupts the continuity of driving but may also distract the driver, increasing driving safety hazards.

[0042] To address the problems existing in the aforementioned related technologies, this application provides a seat control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium. By determining the ventilation and / or heating intensity corresponding to the pressure applied by the user to the seat from a pressure-intensity relationship curve, and adjusting the ventilation and / or heating intensity in each area of ​​the seat according to the ventilation and / or heating intensities corresponding to multiple pressures, this method can meet the user's personalized needs for seat ventilation and heating intensity and improve driving safety.

[0043] The following is an embodiment of a seat control method provided in this application.

[0044] Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of a seat control method provided in an embodiment of this application is shown, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a seat control method applied to a seat, which includes the following solutions:

[0045] S110: With the seat ventilation and / or heating functions turned on, obtain the pressure on each target area in contact with the user and the seat, and obtain multiple pressures.

[0046] For example, the seat includes a seat cushion and a backrest. The area where the user contacts the seat is a target area, distributed across the seat cushion and backrest. Each target area includes a ventilated area and / or a heated area. When the seat's ventilation and / or heating functions are activated, individual pressure sensors within each target area can monitor the pressure applied by the user to that target area. See, for example, [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, when the user is sitting in the seat, the pressures detected in target areas 1 to 6 on the seat are f1, f2, f3, f4, f5 and f6, respectively.

[0047] S120: For each pressure, obtain the target intensity corresponding to the pressure from the first parameter curve to obtain the target intensity corresponding to each of the multiple pressures.

[0048] The first parameter curve is a parameter curve related to pressure and intensity; where pressure is the pressure applied by the user to the seat when the user comes into contact with the seat, and intensity is the ventilation intensity and / or heating intensity of the seat.

[0049] For example, based on the pressures f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, and f6 in the target regions 1 to 6, the target intensities corresponding to each pressure f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, and f6 are obtained from the first parameter curve, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the target intensities corresponding to pressures f1, f2, f3, f4, f5 and f6 are W1, W2, W3, W4, W5 and W6, respectively.

[0050] S130: Adjust the ventilation intensity and / or heating intensity of each target area according to the target intensity corresponding to each of the multiple pressures.

[0051] For example, the ventilation intensity and / or heating intensity of target areas 1 to 6 are adjusted according to the target intensities W1, W2, W3, W4, W5 and W6 corresponding to pressures f1, f2, f3, f4, f5 and f6, respectively.

[0052] It should be understood that this application pre-constructs the first parameter curve before obtaining the ventilation intensity and / or heating intensity corresponding to different pressures from the first parameter curve based on the different pressures applied by the user to the seat; for example, such as Figure 4 As shown, constructing the first parameter curve includes the following steps:

[0053] S410: Obtain the first and second parameters corresponding to each of the multiple users.

[0054] The first parameter includes a first pressure and a second pressure applied by the user to the seat, wherein the first pressure is less than the second pressure. The second parameter includes a first intensity and a second intensity of the seat's ventilation and / or heating when the seat's ventilation and / or heating functions are turned on, wherein the first intensity is less than the second intensity.

[0055] The seats are those equipped with ventilation and / or heating functions, which can be activated via buttons and voice commands.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first pressure is the pressure applied to the seat by the user when seated in a comfortable posture. The second pressure is the maximum pressure applied to the seat by the user when seated. The first and second pressures are monitored by pressure sensors located at the contact area between the user and the seat, and the first pressure is less than the second pressure.

[0057] The first intensity is the intensity of the ventilation and / or heating functions when the user is seated and feels the most comfortable temperature, with the seat ventilation and / or heating functions turned on. The second intensity is the maximum acceptable intensity of the ventilation and / or heating functions when the user is seated.

[0058] The system acquires the first and second parameters for each user. Specifically, it records the first and second pressures, as well as the first and second intensities, for each user while seated. As shown in Table 1, multiple sets of data are obtained for each user. The pressure exerted by the user on the seat is represented by F, and the intensity of the ventilation and / or heating functions is represented by W.

[0059] Table 1

[0060] First pressure Second pressure First intensity Second strength User 1 F1 F1’ W1 W1’ User 2 F2 F2’ W2 W2’ ... ... ... ... ...

[0061] S420: Construct a first parameter curve for pressure and intensity based on the third and / or fourth parameters corresponding to multiple users.

[0062] The third parameter includes the first pressure and the first strength, and the fourth parameter includes the second pressure and the second strength.

[0063] It should be understood that each user's height, weight, sitting posture, and temperature sensitivity are different. Therefore, different users will have different pressure perceptions of the seat and different needs for ventilation and / or heating functions. By collecting the pressure and intensity parameters of multiple users, we can obtain the personalized needs of different individuals and build a more comprehensive and refined mapping relationship to meet the personalized needs of different individuals.

[0064] The first parameter curve describes the trend that the intensity of ventilation and / or heating functions increases as the pressure applied by the user to the seat increases.

[0065] In one possible implementation, step S420 specifically includes the following steps:

[0066] S4201: For each user, based on the user's corresponding third and / or fourth parameters, construct the user's corresponding second parameter curve regarding pressure and intensity to obtain the second parameter curves for each of the multiple users.

[0067] For each user, the second parameter curve is used to represent the trend that the intensity of ventilation and / or heating functions increases as the pressure applied by the user to the seat increases.

[0068] There are three ways to construct the second parameter curve for each user regarding pressure and intensity:

[0069] Implementation Method 1

[0070] Based on the user's third and fourth parameters, construct the user's second parameter curve regarding pressure and intensity.

[0071] For example, a first coordinate is determined based on the third parameter corresponding to the user; a first curve corresponding to the user is determined based on the origin and the first coordinate; a second coordinate is determined based on the fourth parameter corresponding to the user; a second curve corresponding to the user is determined based on the first and second coordinates; and a second parameter curve corresponding to the user is constructed based on the first and second curves.

[0072] For example, in the following three implementations, the third parameter refers to the first pressure F1 and the first intensity W1 corresponding to user 1 and the first pressure F2 and the first intensity W2 corresponding to user 2; the fourth parameter refers to the second pressure F1' and the second intensity W1' corresponding to user 1 and the second pressure F2' and the second intensity W2' corresponding to user 2.

[0073] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the first type of second parameter curve corresponding to user 1 is shown, as follows: Figure 5As shown, based on the third parameters corresponding to User 1, namely the first pressure and the first intensity, the first coordinate (F1, W1) is determined. Based on the origin (0, 0) and the first coordinate (F1, W1), the first curve C1 corresponding to User 1 is constructed. Based on the fourth parameters corresponding to User 1, namely the second pressure and the second intensity, the second coordinate (F1', W1') is determined; based on the first coordinate (F1, W1) and the second coordinate (F1', W1'), the second curve C2 corresponding to User 1 is constructed; based on the first curve C1 and the second curve C2, the second parameter curve C3 corresponding to User 1 is constructed. Using the same method, the second parameter curve C4 corresponding to User 2 regarding pressure and intensity can be constructed, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, the second parameter curve C4 includes the first curve C5 and the second curve C6.

[0074] like Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the second parameter curve C3 for User 1 and the second parameter curve C4 for User 2 are piecewise curves. Because different pressure ranges in the piecewise curves C3 and C4 correspond to different adjustment rates, it allows for refined adjustment schemes for User 1 and User 2 at different pressure ranges when adjusting ventilation and / or heating intensity. This ensures that the ventilation and / or heating system provides the most suitable ventilation and / or heating intensity across different pressure ranges, more accurately meeting user needs and avoiding over- or under-adjustment.

[0075] Implementation Method Two

[0076] Based on the user's corresponding third parameter, construct the user's corresponding second parameter curve regarding pressure and intensity.

[0077] For example, the third coordinate is determined based on the third parameter corresponding to the user; the second parameter curve corresponding to the user is determined based on the origin and the third coordinate.

[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, for user 1, the third coordinate is (F1, W1), which is the same as the first coordinate. Based on the origin (0, 0) and the third coordinate (F1, W1), construct the second parameter curve C1 corresponding to user 1. Similarly, as... Figure 6 As shown, for user 2, based on the origin (0, 0) and the third coordinate (F2, W2), the second parameter curve C5 corresponding to user 2 with respect to pressure and intensity is constructed.

[0079] like Figures 5 to 6As shown, the positive correlation between ventilation and / or heating intensity and pressure is stronger in the second parameter curve C1 corresponding to user 1 and the second parameter curve C5 corresponding to user 2, meaning that the ventilation and / or heating intensity responds more sensitively to pressure changes. Therefore, based on curves C1 and C5, the ventilation and / or heating intensity can be quickly adjusted to the level that best satisfies the user.

[0080] Implementation Method 3

[0081] Based on the user's fourth parameter, construct the user's second parameter curve regarding pressure and intensity.

[0082] For example, the fourth coordinate is determined based on the fourth parameter corresponding to the user; the second parameter curve corresponding to the user is determined based on the origin and the fourth coordinate.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, for user 1, the fourth coordinate is (F1', W1'), which is the second coordinate. Based on the origin (0, 0) and the fourth coordinate (F1', W1'), the second parameter curve C2 corresponding to user 1 is constructed. Similarly, as... Figure 6 As shown, for user 2, based on the origin (0, 0) and the fourth coordinate (F2', W2'), the second parameter curve C6 corresponding to user 2 with respect to pressure and intensity is constructed.

[0084] like Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the positive correlation between ventilation and / or heating intensity and pressure is weak in the second parameter curve C2 corresponding to user 1 and the second parameter curve C6 corresponding to user 2, meaning that the response of ventilation and / or heating intensity to pressure changes is not very sensitive. Therefore, based on curves C2 and C6, more refined and gradual adjustments can be provided when the user is sensitive to changes in ventilation and heating intensity, ensuring the consistency and comfort of the riding experience.

[0085] S4202: Merge the second parameter curves corresponding to multiple users to obtain the first parameter curve regarding pressure and intensity.

[0086] After constructing the second-parameter curves for multiple users, these personalized curves are merged to construct a first-parameter curve that summarizes the trends of all user groups. This technique aims to extract commonalities from individual data and create a universal curve that can be widely applied to different user groups.

[0087] The methods for fusing the second parameter curves corresponding to multiple users include: statistical averaging, weighted averaging, or more complex machine learning algorithms, such as cluster analysis or neural networks, to identify and quantify the similarities and differences among different user groups, thereby constructing a curve that reflects both individual differences and captures group trends. The following embodiments illustrate fusion using statistical averaging as an example.

[0088] It should be understood that, based on the three methods of constructing the second parameter curve of pressure and intensity for each user, there are three implementation methods for fusing the second parameter curves of multiple users:

[0089] Implementation Method 1

[0090] The second parameter curves corresponding to multiple users are fused to obtain a first parameter curve relating to pressure and intensity, including: obtaining the first slope of the first curve corresponding to multiple users; obtaining the second slope of the second curve corresponding to multiple users; determining the first average slope of the first slope corresponding to multiple users; determining the second average slope of the second slope corresponding to multiple users; determining the average pressure of the first pressure corresponding to multiple users; and constructing the first parameter curve based on the first average slope, the second average slope, and the average pressure.

[0091] For example, the explanation will take the fusion of the second parameter curve C3 corresponding to user 1 and the second parameter curve C4 corresponding to user 2 as an example. The first slope K1 of the first curve C1 corresponding to user 1 and the first slope K2 of the first curve C5 corresponding to user 2 are obtained; the first average slope K3 of the first slope K1 and the first slope K2 is determined. Also, the second slope K4 of the second curve C2 corresponding to user 1 and the second slope K5 of the second curve C6 corresponding to user 2 are obtained; the second average slope K6 of the second slope K4 and the second slope K5 is determined. Finally, the average pressure F3 of the first pressure F1 corresponding to user 1 and the first pressure F2 corresponding to user 2 is determined. Figure 7 As shown, the first parameter curve L1 is constructed based on the first average slope K3, the second average slope K6, and the average pressure F3. Figure 7 As can be seen, the first parameter curve L1 is a piecewise curve. Since different pressure ranges correspond to different adjustment rates in the mapping relationship represented by the first parameter curve L1, in the application process, a reasonable intensity can be determined from the first parameter curve L1 according to different pressures, thereby enhancing the response capability and adaptability of the seat ventilation and / or heating system to different user pressure changes.

[0092] Implementation Method Two

[0093] Based on the third parameter corresponding to the user, a second parameter curve for pressure and intensity is constructed for the user. The third slope of the second parameter curve corresponding to each user is obtained. The third average slope of the third slope corresponding to each user is determined. The first parameter curve is constructed based on the third average slope.

[0094] For example, the explanation will be based on merging the second parameter curve C1 corresponding to user 1 and the second parameter curve C5 corresponding to user 2. The third slope K7 of the second parameter curve C1 corresponding to user 1 and the third slope K8 of the second parameter curve C5 corresponding to user 2 are obtained; the third average slope K9 of the third slopes K7 and K8 is determined. Figure 8 As shown, the first parameter curve L2 is constructed based on the third average slope K9. (From...) Figure 8 It can be seen that the positive correlation between ventilation and / or heating intensity and pressure is strong in the first parameter curve L2. Therefore, the ventilation and / or heating intensity can be quickly adjusted to the intensity that satisfies the user according to the first parameter curve L2.

[0095] Implementation Method 3

[0096] Based on the fourth parameter corresponding to the user, a second parameter curve for pressure and intensity corresponding to the user is constructed. The fourth slope of the second parameter curve corresponding to multiple users is obtained. The fourth average slope of the fourth slope corresponding to multiple users is determined. The first parameter curve is constructed based on the fourth average slope.

[0097] For example, the explanation will be based on the fusion of the second parameter curve C2 corresponding to user 1 and the second parameter curve C6 corresponding to user 2. Figure 9 As shown, obtain the fourth slope K10 of the second parameter curve C2 corresponding to user 1, and the fourth slope K11 of the second parameter curve C6 corresponding to user 2; determine the fourth average slope K12 of the fourth slope K10 and the fourth slope K11. Based on the fourth average slope K12, construct the first parameter curve L3. Figure 9 It can be seen that the positive correlation between ventilation and / or heating intensity and pressure is relatively weak in the first parameter curve L3, meaning that the response of ventilation and / or heating intensity to pressure changes is not very sensitive. Therefore, based on the first parameter curve L3, more refined and gradual adjustments can be provided when users are sensitive to changes in ventilation and heating intensity, ensuring the consistency and comfort of the riding experience.

[0098] The above technical solution obtains the first and second pressures applied to the seat by multiple users, as well as the first and second intensities of seat ventilation and / or heating when the seat's ventilation and / or heating functions are activated. Then, based on the first pressure and first intensity, and / or the second pressure and second intensity for each user, a first parameter curve regarding pressure and intensity is constructed. This allows the application of the first parameter curve to the seat control method, enabling the determination of the ventilation and / or heating intensity corresponding to the pressure applied by the user to the seat when the user activates the seat's ventilation and / or heating functions, thereby achieving personalized adjustment of the seat's ventilation and / or heating intensity.

[0099] It should be understood that the seat control method provided in this application can be extended to the following embodiments:

[0100] (1) After constructing the second parameter curve for each user regarding stress and intensity, the users are classified according to four characteristics: gender, age, weight, and height. For example, users are divided into females and males according to gender. Another example is to divide users into 0-19 years old, 20-50 years old, and over 51 years old according to age.

[0101] (2) Merge the second parameter curves corresponding to users with the same characteristics in each category to obtain multiple first parameter curves. For example, merge the second parameter curves corresponding to female users in the gender feature to obtain a first parameter curve corresponding to female users. As another example, merge the second parameter curves corresponding to users aged 20 to 50 in the age feature to obtain a first parameter curve corresponding to users aged 20 to 50.

[0102] (3) When the user activates the seat ventilation and / or heating function and pressure is detected in the ventilation and / or heating area, the system identifies the occupant information. Based on the user's gender, age, weight, and height, it searches for the ventilation and / or heating intensity corresponding to the pressure detected in the ventilation and / or heating area in the four corresponding first parameter curves, obtaining four ventilation and / or heating intensities. The average of the four ventilation and / or heating intensities is taken, and the seat ventilation and / or heating intensity is adjusted in a personalized manner based on the average intensity.

[0103] The following describes an extended embodiment of the seat control method provided in this application, in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0104] For example, when user A activates the ventilation and / or heating function of the seat, and the seat ventilation and / or heating system detects pressure in the ventilation and / or heating area, it identifies user A's information in the vehicle, identifying user A's gender as female, age between 20 and 50 years old, weight between 50 kg and 60 kg, and height between 150 cm and 170 cm. At this time, based on user A's four characteristics, four first parameter curves corresponding to user A are obtained. Based on the pressure f7 exerted by user A on the seat, the ventilation and / or heating intensity corresponding to pressure f7 in the four first parameter curves is output. The average value of the above four ventilation and / or heating intensities is taken to obtain the average intensity w7, and the ventilation and / or heating intensity of the seat is adjusted according to w7.

[0105] Based on the above technical solution, by classifying users and establishing an independent first-parameter curve for each category, users' personal preferences and physiological characteristics are fully considered. This allows for a more accurate prediction of the different user groups' needs for seat ventilation and / or heating intensity, thereby providing a more personalized comfort experience. For example, the elderly may need more heat, while young people may prefer coolness; this differentiated service can significantly improve user satisfaction.

[0106] Through the above technical solution, when the seat's ventilation and / or heating functions are activated, the pressure exerted on each target area in contact with the user and the seat is acquired. Based on these multiple pressures, target intensities corresponding to each pressure are obtained from a first parameter curve relating pressure and intensity. The ventilation and / or heating intensities for each target area are then adjusted according to these target intensities. Because this solution can obtain the ventilation and / or heating intensities corresponding to different pressures applied by the user from the first parameter curve, it can provide continuously adjustable ventilation and / or heating intensities based on different user habits, meeting personalized user needs. Simultaneously, it monitors and automatically adjusts the ventilation and / or heating intensities in real time based on the pressure applied by the user to the seat, ensuring the driver can maintain focus while driving, improving driving safety, and significantly enhancing the overall experience for passengers.
