[0023] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and drawings.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should be understood as the general meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which the embodiments of the present disclosure belong. The terms "first", "second" and the like used in the embodiments of the present disclosure do not represent any order, number or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. The terms "include", "contain" and the like mean that the elements or objects before the terms cover the elements or objects listed after the terms and their equivalents, and do not exclude other elements or objects. The terms "connect" or "connected" and the like are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. The terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and the like are only used to represent relative positional relationships, and when the absolute positions of the described objects change, the relative positional relationships may also change accordingly.

[0025] Based on the description of the background, more and more car models have a handrail table in the middle of the rear seats, and the handrail table also integrates a handrail screen and a storage compartment, etc., but the handrail table cannot be adjusted left and right, which greatly affects the experience of rear passengers. For example: 1. Inflexible space utilization: when the body sizes of passengers differ greatly, the fixed handrail table may make some passengers feel crowded or not comfortable enough. 2. Inconvenient use of handrail screen: if the handrail table is equipped with a display screen or other entertainment devices, the fixed handrail table may require the passengers on one side to move their bodies to operate these devices. 3. Inconvenient storage of articles: the fixed handrail table may not provide enough storage space for all passengers, especially when placing water cups, mobile phones and other articles.

[0026] As described above, how to avoid the handrail table from being unable to adjust left and right and affecting the experience of rear passengers has become an important research problem.

[0027] Based on the above description, as shown in Figure 1 The control method of the vehicle handrail table provided by the embodiments includes:

[0028] Step 101, receiving a control instruction of the handrail table, and obtaining rear passenger information.

[0029] In specific implementation, the control instruction of the handrail table includes a function opening instruction and a function closing instruction. The function opening instruction is used to control the handrail table to switch from the storage state to the use state, and the function closing instruction is used to control the handrail table to return from the use state to the storage state. The storage state refers to the folded state of the handrail table after being flipped upward, and the use state refers to the unfolded state of the handrail table after being flipped downward.

[0030] In addition, the control instruction includes a voice control instruction or a key control instruction.

[0031] For example, when the control instruction is the voice control instruction, the voice control instruction "open the rear handrail screen" of the rear passenger is received, and the handrail table is controlled to flip downward and move in the left-right direction, so that the handrail screen is switched to the use state. Alternatively, when the control instruction is the voice control instruction, the voice control instruction "close the rear handrail screen" of the rear passenger is received, and the handrail table is controlled to move in the left-right direction and flip upward, so that the handrail screen returns to the storage state.

[0032] For another example, when the control instruction is the key control instruction, the rear passenger clicks the opening key of the handrail table to generate the function opening instruction, and the handrail table is controlled to flip downward and move in the left-right direction, so that the handrail screen is switched to the use state. Alternatively, when the control instruction is the key control instruction, the rear passenger clicks the closing key of the handrail table to generate the function closing instruction, and the handrail table is controlled to move in the left-right direction and flip upward, so that the handrail screen returns to the storage state.

[0033] The sensor is used to obtain the rear passenger information. The rear passenger information includes at least one of the following: the number of rear passengers, the position of rear passengers, and the body size of rear passengers. Specifically, the pressure sensor is used to detect whether there are passengers in the rear of the vehicle, and determine the number of rear passengers, the position of rear passengers, and the body size of rear passengers. Alternatively, the infrared sensor is used to detect whether there are passengers in the rear of the vehicle, and determine the number of rear passengers, the position of rear passengers, and the body size of rear passengers. Alternatively, the camera is used to detect whether there are passengers in the rear of the vehicle, and determine the number of rear passengers, the position of rear passengers, and the body size of rear passengers.

[0034] In step 102, the control mode of the handrail table is determined according to the control instruction and the rear passenger information, and the handrail table is controlled to move in the left-right direction according to the control mode to execute the function corresponding to the control instruction.

[0035] In specific implementation, the control mode of the handrail table is determined according to the control instruction to be an opening mode or a closing mode. When the control instruction is the function opening instruction, the control mode of the handrail table is the opening mode. When the control instruction is the function closing instruction, the control mode of the handrail table is the closing mode.

[0036] When the control instruction is a function opening instruction, a target opening mode of the armrest table is determined according to the rear passenger information, and the armrest table is controlled to move in the left-right direction according to the target opening mode, so as to control the armrest table to switch to a use state and move to a use position comfortable for the rear passenger.

[0037] When the control instruction is a function closing instruction, a target closing mode of the armrest table is determined according to the rear passenger information, and the armrest table is controlled to move in the left-right direction according to the target opening mode, so as to control the armrest table to move to a middle position of the rear seat and restore to a storage state.

[0038] Through the above embodiment, the control instruction of the armrest table is received, and the rear passenger information is obtained. The control mode of the armrest table is determined according to the control instruction and the rear passenger information, and the armrest table is controlled to move in the left-right direction according to the control mode, so as to execute the function corresponding to the control instruction. In this way, the armrest table can be controlled to move in the left-right direction according to the riding condition of the rear passenger, so as to realize flexible use of the rear space, facilitate the rear passenger to use the armrest screen and storage compartment integrated on the armrest table, provide a more comfortable and personalized experience for the rear passenger, and significantly improve the riding experience of the rear passenger.

[0039] In some embodiments, step 102 includes:

[0040] Step 1021, in response to determining that the control instruction is a function opening instruction, determining a target opening mode of the armrest table according to the rear passenger information, and controlling the armrest table to move in the left-right direction according to the target opening mode, so as to control the armrest table to move to a target position.

[0041] In specific implementation, the target position is a use position of the armrest table that makes the rear passenger feel comfortable.

[0042] When the control instruction is a function opening instruction, the armrest table is controlled to flip down to switch to a use state, and the armrest table is controlled to move in the left-right direction to move to a target position that makes the rear passenger feel comfortable.

[0043] Step 1022, in response to determining that the control instruction is a function closing instruction, determining a target closing mode of the armrest table according to the rear passenger information, and controlling the armrest table to move in the left-right direction according to the target closing mode, so as to control the armrest table to restore to a storage position.

[0044] In specific implementation, the storage position is a storage position of the armrest table in the middle of the rear seat.

[0045] When the control instruction is a function closing instruction, the armrest table is controlled to move in the left-right direction to move to a middle position of the rear seat, and the armrest table is controlled to flip up to restore to a storage state.

[0046] Figure 2 A schematic view of the handrail table in an initial position according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, the original state (i.e. the storage state) refers to the storage state after the handrail table is flipped upward. When the rear passenger uses the handrail table, the handrail table is controlled to flip downward from the storage state to the initial position perpendicular to the seat back, so that the handrail table switches to the use state. When the rear passenger finishes using the handrail table, the handrail table is controlled to flip upward at the middle position of the rear seat to the storage position, so that the handrail table switches to the storage state (i.e. the storage state). As shown, in order to facilitate the movement of the handrail table in the left-right direction, a slide rail is arranged on the rear seat, and the handrail table is arranged on the slide rail and moves in the left-right direction through the slide rail. Figure 2 Figure 2

[0047] Through the above scheme, when the control instruction is a function opening instruction, the target opening mode of the handrail table can be determined according to the rear passenger information, the handrail table is controlled to move in the left-right direction according to the target opening mode, so that the handrail table moves to the target position which is comfortable for the rear passenger. When the control instruction is a function closing instruction, the target closing mode of the handrail table can be determined according to the rear passenger information, the handrail table is controlled to move in the left-right direction according to the target closing mode, so that the handrail table can return to the storage state.

[0048] In some embodiments, step 1021 comprises:

[0049] Step 1021A, in response to the control instruction being a function opening instruction, and based on the rear passenger information determining that there is a passenger on one side of the handrail table, determining that the target opening mode is a first opening mode.

[0050] Step 1021B, according to the first opening mode, controlling the handrail table to flip downward from the storage position to the initial position perpendicular to the seat back, and controlling the handrail table to move in the left-right direction from the initial position to the target position.

[0051] In specific implementation, the storage position is the handrail table storage position in the middle of the rear seat. The initial position is the position of the handrail table in the middle of the rear seat and perpendicular to the seat back. The target position is the handrail table use position which is comfortable for the rear passenger.

[0052] When the control instruction is a function opening instruction, the target opening mode of the handrail table is determined according to the rear passenger information. When it is determined based on the rear passenger information that there is a passenger on one side of the handrail table, it is determined that the target opening mode is a first opening mode. Figure 3 A schematic view of the first opening mode of the handrail table according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, the original state (i.e. the storage state) refers to the storage state after the handrail table is flipped upward. When the rear passenger uses the handrail table, the handrail table is controlled to flip downward from the storage state to the initial position perpendicular to the seat back, so that the handrail table switches to the use state. When the rear passenger finishes using the handrail table, the handrail table is controlled to flip upward at the middle position of the rear seat to the storage position, so that the handrail table switches to the storage state (i.e. the storage state). As shown, in order to facilitate the movement of the handrail table in the left-right direction, a slide rail is arranged on the rear seat, and the handrail table is arranged on the slide rail and moves in the left-right direction through the slide rail. Figure 3 ​​As shown, ① the armrest table is flipped down to horizontal: the armrest table is flipped down from the storage position in the middle of the rear seats to the initial position, so that the armrest table is switched to the use state. ② According to the identification result, slide left / right: use the slide rail to control the armrest table to move in the left-right direction, control the armrest table to move from the initial position to the target position where the rear passengers feel comfortable.

[0053] After step 1021B, it further includes: when the armrest table moves to the target position, using the locking structure to control the armrest table to stop moving. The locking structure includes a position sensor and a limit switch. The armrest table is driven to move on the slide rail by using the motor, when the position sensor detects that the armrest table moves to the target position, stop the motor driving the armrest table to move, and lock the armrest table at the target position by using the limit switch. After the armrest table is locked at the target position, the rear passengers can also manually adjust the armrest table.

[0054] Through the above scheme, when the control instruction is a function opening instruction and there is a passenger on one side of the armrest table, first control the armrest table to flip down from the storage position to the initial position, and then control the armrest table to move in the left-right direction from the initial position to the target position. In this way, while ensuring that the armrest table can normally move in the left-right direction, the control process of switching the armrest table to the use state can be minimized.

[0055] In some embodiments, step 1021 includes:

[0056] Step 1021a, in response to the control instruction being a function opening instruction, and based on the rear passenger information determining that there are passengers on both sides of the armrest table, determining that the target opening mode is a second opening mode.

[0057] Step 1021b, according to the second opening mode, control the armrest table to flip down by a first preset angle from the storage position, then control the armrest table to move in the left-right direction, and determine whether the armrest table moves to a first preset position.

[0058] Step 1021c, in response to determining that the armrest table moves to the first preset position, control the armrest table to flip down from the first preset position to a target position perpendicular to the seat back.

[0059] In specific implementation, the first preset angle is a preset minimum angle of downward flipping that can ensure the armrest table to move in the left-right direction. The first preset position is a position where the armrest screen is flipped down by the first preset angle and in the left-right direction so that the rear passengers feel comfortable.

[0060] When the control instruction is a function opening instruction, the target opening mode of the armrest table is determined according to the rear passenger information. When it is determined based on the rear passenger information that there are passengers on both sides of the armrest table, it is determined that the target opening mode is a second opening mode. Figure 4FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a second opening mode of the armrest table according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, ① the armrest table is flipped down to a certain angle: the armrest table is controlled to flip down from the storage position in the middle of the rear seats by a first preset angle, so that the armrest table can move in the left-right direction without affecting the passengers on both sides of the rear seats. ②: sliding to the left / right from the middle area, and then flipping down to the appropriate position: the armrest table is controlled to move in the left-right direction by using a slide rail, and the armrest table is controlled to move to a first preset position where the passengers in the rear seats feel comfortable. When the armrest table moves to the first preset position, the armrest table is controlled to flip down from the first preset position to a target position, so that the armrest table is switched to a use state and the passengers in the rear seats feel comfortable. Figure 4

[0061] After step 1021c, further comprising: when the armrest table moves to the target position, controlling the armrest table to stop moving by using a locking structure. The locking structure includes a position sensor and a limit switch. The armrest table is driven to move on the slide rail by using a motor, and when the position sensor detects that the armrest table moves to the target position, the motor driving the armrest table to move is stopped, and the armrest table is locked at the target position by using the limit switch. After the armrest table is locked at the target position, the passengers in the rear seats can also manually adjust the armrest table.

[0062] Through the above scheme, when the control instruction is a function opening instruction and there are passengers on both sides of the armrest table, the armrest table is controlled to flip down from the storage position by a first preset angle, so that the armrest table can move in the left-right direction without affecting the passengers on both sides. The armrest table is controlled to move in the left-right direction, and when the armrest table moves to a first preset position, the armrest table is controlled to flip down to a target position, so that the armrest table is switched to a use state and the passengers in the rear seats feel comfortable.

[0063] In some embodiments, step 1022 includes:

[0064] Step 1022A, in response to determining that the control instruction is a function closing instruction and based on the rear passenger information, it is determined that there is a passenger on one side of the armrest table, and then it is determined that the target closing mode is a first closing mode.

[0065] Step 1022B, according to the first closing mode, controlling the armrest table to move in the left-right direction from the target position to an initial position, and controlling the armrest table to flip up from the initial position to a storage position parallel to the seat backrest.

[0066] In specific implementation, when the control instruction is a function closing instruction, the target closing mode of the armrest table is determined according to the rear passenger information. When it is determined based on the rear passenger information that there is a passenger on one side of the armrest table, it is determined that the target closing mode is a first closing mode. Figure 5 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a first closing mode of the armrest table according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, ① the armrest table is flipped down to a certain angle: the armrest table is controlled to flip down from the storage position in the middle of the rear seats by a first preset angle, so that the armrest table can move in the left-right direction without affecting the passengers on both sides of the rear seats. ②: sliding to the left / right from the middle area, and then flipping down to the appropriate position: the armrest table is controlled to move in the left-right direction by using a slide rail, and the armrest table is controlled to move to a first preset position where the passengers in the rear seats feel comfortable. When the armrest table moves to the first preset position, the armrest table is controlled to flip down from the first preset position to a target position, so that the armrest table is switched to a use state and the passengers in the rear seats feel comfortable. Figure 5 ​As shown, the handrail table is controlled to move in the left-right direction from the target position to the initial position in the middle of the rear seats by using the slide rail. The handrail table is controlled to flip up from the initial position to the storage position, so that the handrail table is restored to the storage state.

[0067] By the above scheme, when the control instruction is a function closing instruction and there is a passenger on one side of the handrail table, the handrail table is first controlled to move in the left-right direction from the target position to the initial position, and then the handrail table is controlled to flip up from the initial position to the storage position. In this way, while ensuring that the handrail table can normally move in the left-right direction, the control process of restoring the handrail table to the storage state can be minimized.

[0068] In some embodiments, step 1022 includes:

[0069] Step 1022a, in response to the control instruction being a function closing instruction and based on the rear passenger information determining that there are passengers on both sides of the handrail table, determining that the target closing mode is a second closing mode.

[0070] Step 1022b, according to the second closing mode, controlling the handrail table to flip up by a second preset angle from the target position, controlling the handrail table to move in the left-right direction, and determining whether the handrail table moves to a second preset position.

[0071] Step 1022c, in response to determining that the handrail table moves to the second preset position, controlling the handrail table to flip up from the second preset position to a storage position parallel to the seat backrest.

[0072] In specific implementation, the second preset angle is a preset maximum angle of upward flipping that can ensure the handrail table to move in the left-right direction. The sum of the first preset angle and the second preset angle is 90°. The second preset position is a position where the handrail screen flips up by the second preset angle and is in the middle of the rear seats.

[0073] When the control instruction is a function closing instruction, the target closing mode of the handrail table is determined according to the rear passenger information. When it is determined based on the rear passenger information that there are passengers on both sides of the handrail table, it is determined that the target closing mode is a second closing mode. Figure 6 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a second closing mode of a handrail table according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, Figure 6 ① the handrail table flips up to a certain angle: the handrail table is controlled to flip up by a second preset angle from the target position, so that the handrail table can move in the left-right direction and does not affect the passengers on both sides of the rear seats. ② slide left / right to the middle area, and then flip up to the original position (i.e., the storage position): the handrail table is controlled to move in the left-right direction by using the slide rail, and the handrail table is controlled to move to a second preset position in the middle of the rear seats. When the handrail table moves to the second preset position, the handrail table is controlled to flip up from the second preset position to the storage position, so that the handrail table is restored to the storage state.

[0074] Through the above scheme, when the control instruction is a function closing instruction and there are passengers on both sides of the handrail table, the handrail table is controlled to overturn from the target position by a second preset angle upwards, so that the handrail table can move in the left-right direction and does not affect the passengers on both sides. The handrail table is controlled to move in the left-right direction, and when the handrail table moves to a second preset position, the handrail table is controlled to overturn upwards to a storage position, so that the handrail table returns to the storage state.

[0075] In some embodiments, before step 1021, further comprising:

[0076] Step 10211, in response to determining that the rear passenger information is consistent with the pre-stored target passenger information, determining the target position corresponding to the target passenger information based on the correspondence relationship between the pre-stored passenger information and the handrail table position.

[0077] In specific implementation, the correspondence relationship between the pre-stored passenger information and the handrail table position records the handrail table positions that different passengers feel comfortable. When it is detected that the rear passenger information is consistent with the pre-stored target passenger information, the target position corresponding to the target passenger information is retrieved based on the correspondence relationship. In this way, the target position determined based on the pre-stored correspondence relationship is the handrail table position that conforms to the use habit of the target passenger, and after the handrail table moves to the target position, the target passenger can feel comfortable and use conveniently.

[0078] Before step 10211, further comprising: receiving a manual adjustment instruction of the handrail table, and obtaining the handrail table position manually adjusted by the rear passenger. Associating the passenger information of the rear passenger with the handrail table position to obtain the correspondence relationship between the passenger information and the handrail table position, and storing the correspondence relationship between the passenger information and the handrail table position.

[0079] When the rear passenger is not satisfied with the automatically adjusted handrail table position, the rear passenger can manually adjust the handrail table position, record the comfortable handrail table position manually adjusted by the current passenger, and generate the correspondence relationship between the passenger information of the current passenger and the manually adjusted handrail table position, so that the handrail table can be automatically moved to the comfortable handrail table position of the current passenger when the current passenger rides again.

[0080] Alternatively, step 10212, in response to determining that there is a passenger on one side of the handrail table, determining a position at a preset distance from the rear passenger in the direction from the rear passenger to the handrail table as the target position.

[0081] In specific implementation, when there is a passenger on one side of the handrail table, the direction from the rear passenger to the handrail table is determined, and a position at a preset distance from the rear passenger is taken as the target position. The preset distance is a distance convenient for the user to use the handrail table. In this way, the target position determined at a preset distance from the rear passenger is a handrail table position that most passengers feel comfortable with, and after the handrail table moves to the target position, it can maximize the comfort and convenience of most passengers.

[0082] For example, the preset distance is 10 cm. When there is a passenger on one side of the handrail table, and the rear passenger is in the left rear seat position, the position 10 cm from the rear passenger on the right side of the rear passenger in the left-right direction is taken as the target position.

[0083] For example, the preset distance is 10 cm. When there is a passenger on one side of the handrail table, and the rear passenger is in the left rear seat position, the position 10 cm from the rear passenger on the right side of the rear passenger in the left-right direction is taken as the target position.

[0084] Alternatively, in step 10213, in response to determining that there are passengers on both sides of the handrail table, the body size information of the rear passengers is determined according to the rear passenger information, and the target position is determined based on the body size information.

[0085] In specific implementation, when there are passengers on both sides of the handrail table, the target position is determined based on the body size information of the rear passengers. In this way, the target position determined based on the body size information of the rear passengers is a handrail table position that both rear passengers feel comfortable with, and after the handrail table moves to the target position, it can maximize the comfort and convenience of both rear passengers.

[0086] Specifically, an integrated pressure sensor, infrared sensor or camera is used to detect the size of the rear passenger, including width and height information. The pressure sensor can measure the weight distribution of the rear passenger, thereby estimating the size of the rear passenger. The infrared sensor or camera can capture the overall profile of the rear passenger, and determine the specific size of the rear passenger through image analysis. The collected size data is sent to the central processor for analysis, and the system calculates the optimal position of the handrail table according to the pre-set algorithm to ensure that both rear passengers can comfortably contact the handrail table. Because the space of the actual vehicle is limited, the adjustment is limited by space and will not be excessively biased to either side.

[0087] Through the above scheme, for different armrest usage scenarios, the target position where the rear passengers feel comfortable can be determined in different ways, so as to control the movement of the armrest to the target position where the rear passengers feel comfortable. The target position determined based on the pre-stored correspondence is the armrest position that conforms to the target passenger's usage habits. After the armrest is moved to the target position, it can ensure that the target passenger feels comfortable and easy to use. The target position determined at a preset distance from the rear passenger is the armrest position where most passengers feel comfortable. After the armrest is moved to the target position, it can maximize the comfort and ease of use for most passengers. The target position determined based on the rear passenger's body shape information is the armrest position where both rear passengers feel comfortable. After the armrest is moved to the target position, it can maximize the comfort and ease of use for both rear passengers.

[0088] Through the above embodiment, control commands from the armrest are received and rear passenger information is obtained. Based on the control commands and rear passenger information, a control mode for the armrest is determined, and the armrest is controlled to move left and right according to the control mode to execute the function corresponding to the control command. In this way, the armrest can be controlled to move left and right based on the seating situation of rear passengers, thereby achieving flexible utilization of rear space and facilitating rear passengers' use of the armrest screen and storage compartment integrated into the armrest, providing a more comfortable and personalized experience for rear passengers and significantly improving their riding experience.

[0089] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure may be further described in the following manner:

[0090] In order to improve the problems in the background technology, the embodiment of the present disclosure configures the armrest in the middle of the rear seat to be electrically slidable left and right and is equipped with a locking mechanism.

[0091] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is the original state of the armrest that has not been flipped to the horizontal position (i.e. the storage state). It can be opened by voice or button switch. The horizontal area at the lower end of the armrest is an electric slide rail, which allows the armrest to slide left and right to adapt to different users and provide a comfortable and good experience.

[0092] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 In order to identify that there is someone on only one side of the armrest, the armrest can be directly flipped down in the middle position of the rear seat, and the electric slide rail will automatically slide left or right according to the recognition object data.

[0093] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4To identify that there are people on both sides of the armrest table, the armrest table is turned down by a first preset angle in the middle of the rear seats (the first preset angle is the minimum angle at which the armrest table can be freely slid, and the first preset angle can be obtained by testing the specific vehicle model), and the electric slide rail automatically slides left or right again according to the recognition object data.

[0094] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 5 To identify that there are people on both sides of the armrest table, the armrest table is turned down by a first preset angle in the middle of the rear seats (the first preset angle is the minimum angle at which the armrest table can be freely slid, and the first preset angle can be obtained by testing the specific vehicle model), and the electric slide rail automatically slides left or right again according to the recognition object data.

[0095] As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 6 To identify that there are people on both sides of the armrest table, the armrest table is turned down by a first preset angle in the middle of the rear seats (the first preset angle is the minimum angle at which the armrest table can be freely slid, and the first preset angle can be obtained by testing the specific vehicle model), and the electric slide rail automatically slides left or right again according to the recognition object data.

[0096] The middle armrest table of the rear seats not only becomes more practical, but also significantly improves the overall passenger riding experience. The following is the specific automatic adjustment control logic:

[0097] I. Identify that there is only one side of the rear armrest table, then automatically approach the direction of the rear passenger.

[0098] First, through the pressure sensor integrated below the user, the front infrared sensor or camera, etc. to detect whether there is a rear passenger and the position of the rear passenger. If it is detected that there is only one side of the passenger, the armrest table will automatically adjust to the side close to the rear passenger to facilitate use. At the same time, if the rear passenger is not satisfied with the automatic adjustment position, manual adjustment can be made, and the system will record the final adjustment of the armrest table position of the current user's comfortable position. The user can use the buttons on the armrest table or the touch screen inside the vehicle to manually adjust. The system will record when a certain user often adjusts to a certain specific position, and the system can learn and remember this preference. Next time when the same user sits down, the system can automatically adjust to the previously recorded comfortable position.

[0099] During the automatic adjustment process, there is a safety mechanism to prevent accidental injury, which can set an upper limit for the sliding speed, and immediately stop moving when an obstacle is detected.

[0100] II. Identify that there are people on both sides of the armrest table, and automatically slide left and right according to the body size.

[0101] The integrated pressure sensor, infrared sensor, or camera is used to detect the size of the passengers, including width and height information. The pressure sensor can measure the weight distribution of the rear passengers, thereby estimating the size of the rear passengers. The infrared sensor or camera can capture the overall contour of the rear passengers, and determine the specific size of the rear passengers through image analysis. The collected size data is sent to the central processor for analysis, and the system calculates the optimal position of the handrail platform according to the pre-set algorithm to ensure that the passengers on both sides of the rear row can comfortably contact the handrail platform. Because the space in the actual vehicle is limited, the adjustment is limited by space and will not be excessively biased to either side.

[0102] During the automatic adjustment process, there is a safety mechanism to prevent accidental injury, and the upper limit of the sliding speed can be set, and the movement is immediately stopped when an obstacle is detected.

[0103] Through the above embodiments, the rear handrail platform can intelligently adapt to different riding situations, providing a more comfortable and personalized experience for rear passengers. This intelligent handrail not only improves the riding experience, but also demonstrates the innovation and progress of vehicle interior design.

[0104] 1. Improve flexibility: By designing left and right sliding, the position of the handrail platform can be adjusted according to the needs of the rear passengers, providing more personal space for passengers on both sides of the rear row. The locking mechanism ensures that the handrail platform is stable and immovable at the selected position, improving safety.

[0105] 2. Enhance comfort: Rear passengers can adjust the position of the handrail platform according to their own needs, so that the arms are better supported. For long trips, this adjustability can reduce physical fatigue.

[0106] 3. Easy to use handrail screen: The handrail platform is equipped with a display screen, and the sliding handrail screen makes it easier for passengers to view the screen. Rear passengers can adjust the handrail platform according to their own position to ensure that the screen is directly opposite the user, improving the viewing experience.

[0107] 4. Increase convenience: Rear passengers can adjust the position of the handrail platform as needed to make it easier to access items such as a cup holder, phone holder, etc.

[0108] By using smooth sliding rails, it is ensured that the handrail platform can smoothly slide left and right. And there is a locking device to ensure that the handrail platform is stable and fixed at any position, avoiding accidental movement.

[0109] It should be noted that the method of the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed by a single device, such as a computer or a server, etc. The method of the embodiments can also be applied to a distributed scenario, and be completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In the case of such a distributed scenario, one of the multiple devices can only execute one or more steps in the method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the multiple devices can interact with each other to complete the method.
