[0029] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0030] The following describes a vehicle air conditioning control method, device, vehicle, storage medium, and program product according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. In response to the problem in the related art mentioned in the background art above that the air conditioning state cannot be guaranteed to meet the expected expectations when switching between different scene types or mode types or when different control instructions are superimposed, resulting in a poor user experience, the present application provides a vehicle air conditioning control method. In this method, if the current scene mode of the vehicle air conditioning is the same as the mode type of the target scene mode, the vehicle air conditioning is controlled to enter the target scene mode. If the current scene mode of the vehicle air conditioning is different from the mode type of the target scene mode, the vehicle air conditioning is controlled to enter the target scene mode after returning to the preset scene mode or the operating parameters before the current scene mode. This method can ensure that the air conditioning state meets the expected expectations when switching between different scene types or mode types or when different control instructions are superimposed, thereby improving the user experience. Thus, the present application solves the problem in the related art that the air conditioning state cannot be guaranteed to meet the expected expectations when switching between different scene types or mode types or when different control instructions are superimposed, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 1 A flow chart of a vehicle air conditioning control method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle air conditioning control method includes the following steps:

[0033] In step S101 , a target scene mode of the vehicle air conditioner is acquired.

[0034] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application can obtain the target scene mode of the vehicle air conditioner according to remote control instructions or local control instructions, so as to subsequently determine the control method of the vehicle air conditioner according to the mode type of the current scene mode and the target scene mode.

[0035] It should be noted that the target scene mode includes local scene mode and remote scene mode. The local scene mode allows the user to manually adjust the various operating parameters of the air conditioner, while the remote scene mode allows the user to remotely control the various operating parameters of the air conditioner.

[0036] Specifically, the operating parameters include mode motor status, mode motor position, driver's seat temperature setting value, passenger seat temperature setting value, intake position, intake status, blower gear, blower status, AC switch status, synchronization status, air conditioning ECO status, etc. The remote scene mode includes open-loop scene and closed-loop scene, specifically:

[0037] The open-loop air conditioning scene is defined as a continuous scene, which has less impact on driving or comfort, or the user operation does not destroy the purpose of the scene, such as the ventilation mode (turn off the air conditioner, external circulation, blow face, 3-speed air blower), the rear row sleep mode (set the temperature to 25 degrees, 3-speed air blower), and the like; the closed-loop air conditioning scene is defined as a scene for temporary needs, which only needs to be maintained for a period of time, or the user operation will destroy the purpose of the scene, such as the rainstorm mode (start air conditioner defrosting, start rear defrosting, internal circulation), the rapid cooling mode (set the temperature to 18 degrees, automatic air conditioner), the car washing mode (turn off the air conditioner, internal circulation), and the like.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the target scene mode of the vehicle-mounted air conditioner is obtained, including: obtaining a target control instruction of the vehicle-mounted air conditioner; if the target control instruction is a local control instruction, determining that the target scene mode is a local scene mode; if the target control instruction is a remote control instruction, when the current scene mode is a local scene mode, determining that the target scene mode is a remote scene mode, and when the current scene mode is a remote scene mode, determining the target scene mode according to the scene type of the remote scene mode.

[0039] It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, since the local scene mode is manually adjusted by the user, when the target control instruction is a local control instruction, the target scene mode is determined to be a local scene mode; and the remote scene mode further includes switching between open-loop scenes and closed-loop scenes, or switching between scenes of the same scene type, so when the target control instruction is a remote control instruction, when the current scene mode is a local scene mode, the target scene mode is determined to be a remote scene mode, and when the current scene mode is a remote scene mode, the target scene mode is determined according to the scene type of the remote scene mode, so that the air conditioner state meets the expected expectation when jumping between different scene modes or mode types, and the user experience is improved.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the target scene mode is determined according to the scene type of the remote scene mode, including: if the scene type is a first type, determining that the target scene mode is a remote scene mode; and if the scene type is a second type, determining that the target scene mode is a local scene mode.

[0041] The first type is a closed-loop scene type, and the second type is an open-loop scene type.

[0042] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, if the scene type is the first type, the target scene mode is determined to be the remote scene mode; if the scene type is the second type, the target scene mode is determined to be the local scene mode. Since the air-conditioning open-loop scene is defined as a continuous scene with little impact on driving or comfort, or the user operation will not destroy the purpose of the scene, in these scenarios, the user operation is considered to be a fine-tuning or continuation of the scene, and the air-conditioning closed-loop scene is defined as a scene for temporary needs, which only needs to be maintained for a period of time, or the user operation will destroy the purpose of the scene. Therefore, different scene types correspond to different target scene modes, thereby improving the user experience.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the remote scene mode includes multiple operating modes.

[0044] It can be understood that the remote scene mode of the embodiment of the present application includes multiple operating modes, so as to control the operating parameters of the vehicle air conditioner according to different operating modes, so that the air conditioning status meets the expected expectations and improves the user experience.

[0045] It should be noted that the various operating modes of the remote scene mode include multi-scene switching under the same scene type and switching under different scene types. For example: in a closed-loop scene type, switching from heavy rain mode to car wash mode, etc., the client does not call the memory service, and the air-conditioning server will not remember the status of the heavy rain mode. When exiting the car wash mode, the client calls the restore memory service, and the air-conditioning server restores the air-conditioning status before entering the heavy rain mode; switching between closed-loop scene types and open-loop scene types, such as: switching from heavy rain mode to ventilation mode, it is necessary to first restore the air-conditioning status before entering the heavy rain mode, and then enter the ventilation mode; for example: switching from ventilation mode to heavy rain mode, it is necessary to first restore the air-conditioning status before entering the ventilation mode, and then enter the heavy rain mode.

[0046] In step S102 , if the current scene mode of the vehicle air conditioner is the same as the mode type of the target scene mode, the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to enter the target scene mode.

[0047] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application can control the vehicle air conditioner to enter the target scene mode when the current scene mode of the vehicle air conditioner is of the same mode type as the target scene mode, and quickly switch to improve efficiency and enhance user experience.

[0048] It should be noted that when the current scene mode of the vehicle air conditioner is of the same mode type as the target scene mode, such as when remote scene mode 1 switches to remote scene mode 2, the client does not call the memory service, and the air conditioning server does not memorize the status of remote scene mode 1; when exiting from remote scene mode 2, the client calls the restore memory service, and the air conditioning server restores the air conditioning status before entering remote scene mode 1.

[0049] For example, if the mode types of the current scene mode and the target scene mode are both local scene modes, the target scene mode is entered directly; if the mode types of the current scene mode and the target scene mode are both remote scene modes, the scene type of the remote scene mode is identified, such as: if the current remote scene mode is heavy rain mode, and the target scene mode is car wash mode, the car wash mode is entered directly.

[0050] In step S103 , if the current scene mode of the vehicle air conditioner is different from the mode type of the target scene mode, the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to enter the target scene mode after returning to the operating parameters before the current scene mode.

[0051] It can be understood that the current scene mode of the vehicle air conditioner in the embodiment of the present application is different from the mode type of the target scene mode. After controlling the operating parameters before the vehicle air conditioner returns to the current scene mode, the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to enter the target scene mode. This can ensure that when jumping between different scene types or mode types and superimposing different control instructions, the air conditioning state meets the expected expectations and improves the user experience.

[0052] For example, if the mode types of the current scene mode and the target scene mode are different, different mode types are entered according to the switching control of different mode types. For example, if the current scene mode is the remote scene mode and the target scene mode is the local scene mode, the vehicle air conditioner is first controlled to return to the control state before the remote scene mode, and then the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to enter the local scene mode. If the current scene mode is the local scene mode and the target scene mode is the remote scene mode, the vehicle air conditioner is first controlled to return to the air conditioning state before the local scene, and then the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to enter the remote scene mode.

[0053] It should be noted that before controlling the vehicle air conditioner to return to the preset scene mode or return to the operating parameters before the current scene mode, it is necessary to read the vehicle air conditioner operating parameters corresponding to the local scene mode or remote scene mode switching instruction, so as to enter the corresponding scene mode according to the corresponding vehicle control operating parameters.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, controlling the vehicle air conditioner to return to the operating parameters before the current scene mode includes: if the target scene mode is a remote scene mode, then when the current scene mode is a local scene mode, controlling the vehicle air conditioner to return to the operating parameters before the current scene mode; if the target scene mode is a local scene mode and the current scene mode is a remote scene mode, controlling the vehicle air conditioner to return to the operating parameters before the current scene mode.

[0055] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application can determine the specific operation of the vehicle air conditioner based on the current scene mode and the target scene mode, and can ensure that when jumping between different scene types or mode types and superimposing different control instructions, the air conditioning status meets the expected expectations and improves the user experience.

[0056] Specifically, in addition to responding to the remote scene mode of the external client, the air conditioner also has many buttons to directly change the various states of the air conditioner, which is defined as the air conditioner local scene mode; when entering and exiting the air conditioner local scene mode, the air conditioner itself will store and restore the air conditioner state.

[0057] Therefore, the air conditioner has two sets of state memories: local scene memory and scene mode memory. When the local scene mode is superimposed on the remote scene mode, the client's remote scene mode may not achieve the expected effect. Therefore, it is also necessary to judge the local scene mode; when the air conditioner is in local scene mode, if it enters the remote scene mode again, the air conditioner state before the local scene mode is restored. If the client calls the memory service, the air conditioner will remember this state; if in the remote scene mode, the local scene mode button is operated, the local scene action is exited, the state before the remote scene mode is restored, and the local scene mode memory state is used to execute the local scene mode action.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, after controlling the vehicle air conditioner to enter the target scene mode, it also includes: identifying the exit instruction of the target scene mode; if the target scene mode has responded to user operations during operation, exiting the target scene mode according to the exit instruction; if the target scene mode has not responded to user operations during operation, returning to the operating parameters before the target scene mode according to the exit instruction.

[0059] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application can identify the exit instruction of the target scene mode. If the target scene mode has responded to user operations during operation, the target scene mode will be exited according to the exit instruction; if the target scene mode has not responded to user operations during operation, the operating parameters before the target scene mode will be returned according to the exit instruction, so that the air-conditioning status meets the expected expectations and improves the user experience.

[0060] According to the vehicle air-conditioning control method proposed in the embodiment of the present application, if the current scene mode of the vehicle air-conditioning is of the same mode type as the target scene mode, the vehicle air-conditioning is controlled to enter the target scene mode; if the current scene mode of the vehicle air-conditioning is of different mode type than the target scene mode, after controlling the vehicle air-conditioning to return to the preset scene mode or the operating parameters before the current scene mode, the vehicle air-conditioning is controlled to enter the target scene mode. This ensures that when jumping between different scene types or mode types and when superimposing different control instructions, the air-conditioning state meets expectations, thereby improving the user experience.

[0061] The following will be combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 The vehicle-mounted air conditioner control method of the application is described in detail as follows:

[0062] The application includes an air conditioner service server, a client and a user end, specifically:

[0063] The air conditioner service server provides several service interfaces, and one service corresponds to one control item of the air conditioner. One air conditioner service includes several elements, which are classified as Method and Field; Method is mainly used for air conditioner control and is mainly responsible for executing actual control operations on the air conditioner, such as adjusting the air speed, changing the mode, turning on / off, etc. These methods receive instructions from the client, and then convert them into a language that the air conditioner hardware can understand to perform the corresponding actions. Field is mainly used to provide air conditioner state information for the client, and is mainly used to reflect the current state information of the air conditioner to provide the client with the working condition of the air conditioner without directly controlling the behavior of the air conditioner.

[0064] After the client subscribes to the service, it calls the air conditioner service through an Ethernet message in the SOME / IP protocol format. The air conditioner, as an application software of the domain controller, provides services in the form of functions. After the domain controller receives the Ethernet message, it parses it through the underlying software and middleware, calls the service function of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner performs the corresponding action of the service.

[0065] When the client under the SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) architecture, such as remote control, scene mode engine, etc. needs to call the air conditioner service, it subscribes to the air conditioner service and can freely call one or a series of air conditioner services. When a certain scene mode needs to be composed, the client needs to call the air conditioner memory service first and then call the air conditioner control service. The air conditioner, as a service server, first remembers the current state of the air conditioner when it receives the air conditioner memory service call, and then responds to the air conditioner control service.

[0066] It should be noted that the air conditioner service includes: fan control, air mode control, recirculation mode control, air conditioner state control, maximum cooling / heating control, on / off control, automatic control, defrosting control, temperature setting control, synchronization control, ion generator control, economy mode control and memory mode control.

[0067] Among them, the fan control is used to adjust the fan speed, which can realize the increase / decrease of the fan speed, set the specific speed level of the fan, set the fan speed according to the percentage, query the current speed level state of the fan, and query the percentage state of the current fan speed.

[0068] The air mode control is used to adjust the air supply mode of the air conditioner, such as switching to natural wind, direct blowing, etc.; setting a specific air supply mode; and querying the current air mode state.

[0069] Recycle mode control is used to adjust the air recycle mode, set the on or off of the air recycle mode, and get the state of the recycle mode.

[0070] Air conditioner state control is used to adjust the basic running state of the air conditioner, set the on or off or specific running state of the air conditioner, and query the current running state of the air conditioner.

[0071] Maximum cooling / heating control is used to adjust to the maximum cooling or heating mode, set the air conditioner to the maximum cooling or heating state, and query whether it is in the maximum cooling or heating state.

[0072] Switch control is used to control the switch of the air conditioner, set the switch state of the air conditioner, and query the switch state of the air conditioner.

[0073] Automatic control is used to adjust the automatic control mode, turn on or off the automatic control mode, and query the enabled state of the automatic control mode.

[0074] Defrost control is used to adjust the defrost function, set the defrost state, and query whether the defrost function is activated.

[0075] Temperature setting control is used to adjust, set and query the temperature of the front left or right side.

[0076] Synchronization control is used to perform synchronization operation of temperature or mode, set the state of the synchronization function, and query whether the synchronization function is enabled.

[0077] Ionizer control is used to operate the ionizer function, set the on or off of the ionizer, and query the working state of the ionizer.

[0078] Economic mode control is used to operate the economic mode, set the economic mode state, and query whether the economic mode is enabled.

[0079] Memory mode control is used to operate the memory function, save or read the preset mode, and restore the previously saved air conditioner settings; the memory content of the memory service includes: mode motor state, mode motor position, main driver temperature set value, co-driver temperature set value, suction inlet position, suction inlet state, air blower gear, air blower state, AC (Air Conditioning) switch state, synchronization state, air conditioner ECO (Economic) state; when the vehicle is powered off and still in memory, a restore memory action is performed; that is, the memory service only takes effect in one operation cycle and does not maintain the scene mode to the next operation cycle.

[0080] These interfaces define the protocol for the interaction between the client and the air conditioning system, allowing users or intelligent systems to comprehensively and meticulously control and query the state of the air conditioner through network or local interfaces, greatly improving the intelligent level of the air conditioner and the convenience of user operation.

[0081] The user end is manually controlled by the user according to the actual demand of the user to directly change the state of the air conditioner. The application takes the local scene mode as an example for illustration.

[0082] The vehicle-mounted air conditioner control method of the application is described in detail below with a specific embodiment, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0083] (1) Obtain the target control instruction of the vehicle-mounted air conditioner

[0084] (2) Determine the target scene mode according to the target control instruction

[0085] If the target control instruction is a local control instruction, the target scene mode is determined to be a local scene mode.

[0086] If the target control instruction is a remote control instruction, when the current scene mode is a local scene mode, the target scene mode is determined to be a remote scene mode. When the current scene mode is a remote scene mode, if the scene type is a closed-loop scene type, the target scene mode is determined to be a remote scene mode. If the scene type is an open-loop scene type, the target scene mode is determined to be a local scene mode.

[0087] It should be noted that from the perspective of the air conditioner, the calling rules of the memory service can be divided into open-loop scenes and closed-loop scenes respectively. The closed-loop scene mode needs to call the memory service, and the open-loop does not need memory.

[0088] The air conditioner open-loop scene is defined as a continuous scene that has little effect on driving or comfort, or the user's operation does not destroy the purpose of the scene, such as the ventilation mode (AC off, external circulation, face blowing, 3-speed air blower), rear row sleeping mode (set temperature 25 degrees, 3-speed air blower), etc. User operation in these scenes is considered to be fine-tuning or continuation of the scene, and there is no need to exit the scene mode, so there is no need to call the memory service and no need to back up the air conditioner state.

[0089] The air conditioner closed-loop scene is defined as a scene that is temporary, only needs to be maintained for a period of time, or the user's operation will destroy the purpose of the scene. For example, the rainstorm mode (turn on the air conditioner defrost, turn on the rear defrost, internal circulation), the rapid cooling mode (set temperature 18 degrees, automatic air conditioner), the car washing mode (turn off the air conditioner, internal circulation), etc. In these scenes, user operation represents that the purpose of the scene has been met, and the scene mode needs to be exited. At this time, calling the memory service can quickly and accurately back up the air conditioner state.

[0090] Specifically, when multiple remote scene modes are switched between each other, such as when remote scene mode 1 switches to remote scene mode 2, the client does not call the memory service, and the air conditioning server does not remember the status of remote scene mode 1; when exiting from remote scene mode 2, the client calls the restore memory service, and the air conditioning server restores the air conditioning status before entering remote scene mode 1.

[0091] (3) Control the vehicle air conditioner to perform corresponding operations according to the target scene mode and the current scene mode

[0092] If the mode types of the current scene mode and the target scene mode are both local scene modes, the target scene mode is entered directly.

[0093] If the mode types of the current scene mode and the target scene mode are both remote scene modes, the scene type of the remote scene mode is identified. For example, if the current remote scene mode is rainstorm mode and the target scene mode is car wash mode, the car wash mode is directly entered.

[0094] If the mode types of the current scene mode and the target scene mode are different, different mode types are entered according to the switching control of different mode types. For example: if the current scene mode is remote scene mode and the target scene mode is local scene mode, the vehicle air conditioner is first controlled to return to the control state before the remote scene mode, and then the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to enter the local scene mode; if the current scene mode is local scene mode and the target scene mode is remote scene mode, the vehicle air conditioner is first controlled to return to the air conditioning state before the local scene, and then the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to enter the remote scene mode.

[0095] Specifically, in addition to responding to scene modes set by external clients, the air conditioner also has many buttons that directly change various states of the air conditioner, defined as local scenes. When entering and exiting local scenes, the air conditioner itself stores and restores its state. Therefore, the air conditioner has two sets of state memories: local scene memory and scene mode memory. When local scenes and scene modes are superimposed, the client's scene mode may not achieve the expected effect, so it is also necessary to determine the local scene.

[0096] When the air conditioner is in a local scene, if you enter scene mode again, the air conditioner status before the local scene will be restored. If the client calls the memory service, the air conditioner will remember this status. If you operate the local scene button in scene mode, the local scene action will be exited, the status before the scene mode will be restored, and the local scene action will be executed after the local scene memory status is restored.

[0097] (4) When receiving the command to exit the current scene mode, control the vehicle air conditioner to perform the corresponding operation

[0098] If the target scene mode is the remote scene mode, then when the current scene mode is the local scene mode, the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to return to the operating parameters before the current scene mode; if the target scene mode is the local scene mode and the current scene mode is the remote scene mode, the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to return to the operating parameters before the current scene mode.

[0099] Specifically, when exiting scene mode, if the client wishes to return to the state before scene mode, the restore memory service is called. The air conditioner then determines whether to restore the memory state based on the user's operation. While in scene mode, if the air conditioner receives a user control operation, it responds to the user operation. When exiting scene mode, since the user has already operated the air conditioner, the memory state is not restored. If there is no user operation in scene mode, the air conditioner directly returns to the memory state.

[0100] In summary, the embodiments of the present application simplify the design of scene modes involving air conditioning. There is no need to judge the air conditioning status when exiting the scene mode. When the air conditioning status needs to be restored, it is no longer necessary to call the air conditioning control service. It can ensure that after the air conditioning service is called by the scene mode, when entering and exiting the scene mode, jumping the scene mode, and superimposing the scene mode with user operations, the air conditioning status can be ensured to be as expected and controllable.

[0101] Next, the vehicle air-conditioning control device proposed according to the embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0102] Figure 4 2 is a block diagram of a vehicle air-conditioning control device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0103] like Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle air-conditioning control device 10 includes: an acquisition module 100 , a first control module 200 and a second control module 300 .

[0104] Among them, the acquisition module 100 is used to obtain the target scene mode of the vehicle air conditioner; the first control module 200 is used to control the vehicle air conditioner to enter the target scene mode if the current scene mode of the vehicle air conditioner is the same as the mode type of the target scene mode; the second control module 300 is used to control the vehicle air conditioner to enter the target scene mode after controlling the operating parameters before returning to the current scene mode if the current scene mode of the vehicle air conditioner is different from the mode type of the target scene mode.

[0105] In an embodiment of the present application, the acquisition module 100 is further used to: obtain a target control instruction of the vehicle air conditioner; if the target control instruction is a local control instruction, determine that the target scene mode is a local scene mode; if the target control instruction is a remote control instruction, then when the current scene mode is the local scene mode, determine that the target scene mode is a remote scene mode, and when the current scene mode is the remote scene mode, determine the target scene mode according to the scene type of the remote scene mode.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, the acquisition module 100 is further configured to: if the scene type is the first type, determine that the target scene mode is the remote scene mode; if the scene type is the second type, determine that the target scene mode is the local scene mode.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, the remote scene mode includes multiple operating modes.

[0108] In an embodiment of the present application, the second control module 300 is further used to: if the target scene mode is a remote scene mode, then when the current scene mode is a local scene mode, control the vehicle air conditioner to return to the operating parameters before the current scene mode; if the target scene mode is a local scene mode and the current scene mode is a remote scene mode, control the vehicle air conditioner to return to the operating parameters before the current scene mode.

[0109] In an embodiment of the present application, it also includes: an identification module for identifying the exit instruction of the target scene mode; if the target scene mode has responded to user operations during operation, the target scene mode is exited according to the exit instruction; if the target scene mode has not responded to user operations during operation, the target scene mode is returned to the previous operation parameters according to the exit instruction.

[0110] It should be noted that the above explanation of the embodiment of the vehicle air-conditioning control method is also applicable to the vehicle air-conditioning control device of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0111] According to the vehicle air-conditioning control device proposed in the embodiment of the present application, if the current scene mode of the vehicle air-conditioning is the same as the mode type of the target scene mode, the vehicle air-conditioning is controlled to enter the target scene mode; if the current scene mode of the vehicle air-conditioning is different from the mode type of the target scene mode, after controlling the vehicle air-conditioning to return to the preset scene mode or the operating parameters before the current scene mode, the vehicle air-conditioning is controlled to enter the target scene mode. This can ensure that when jumping between different scene types or mode types and superimposing different control instructions, the air-conditioning state meets expectations and improves the user experience.
