Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more specifically, to a vehicle air conditioning outlet adjustment method, device, vehicle and computer program product. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous increase in the number of cars and the continuous development of automobile technology, the research on automobiles has begun to focus on energy conservation and environmental protection. Only better riding experience and more energy-saving travel can be favored by consumers. The earliest cars only had a few fixed air outlets blowing to the front passengers. Later, with further development, air outlets were added, and passengers in each seat in the front and back rows could enjoy the experience of warm or cold air brought by the air conditioner. Passengers can manually adjust the blowing angle, and some models can also manually close the air outlet completely.

[0003] In the related art, the control design of the vehicle air-conditioning outlet does not take the energy-saving concept into consideration. For example, when there is only the driver in the vehicle, the air-conditioning is turned on and air is blown out from every vent, but no one is sitting in the seat and the air is not blown out. Even if the air outlet can be closed manually, in most cases users will forget to close the air outlet manually during use, resulting in a lot of energy being wasted in the process of using the air-conditioning, especially in summer, when the vehicle will waste more energy on the ineffective blowing of the air-conditioning. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a vehicle air conditioning outlet adjustment method, device, vehicle and computer program product to achieve the technical effect of intelligently adjusting the vehicle air conditioning outlet.

[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0045] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0046] In the related art, the air outlet adjustment of the vehicle air conditioner is not intelligent enough, resulting in energy waste.

[0047] In view of any of the above problems, the present application provides a vehicle air conditioning air outlet adjustment method, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a vehicle air conditioning outlet adjustment method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0048] In this embodiment, the vehicle includes air-conditioning outlets arranged corresponding to vehicle seats; an image acquisition device is arranged in the cabin of the vehicle; and the method includes:

[0049] Step S10: Based on the vehicle interior image including the vehicle seat and the vehicle occupant acquired by the image acquisition device, determine the vehicle occupancy information and the occupant's personal characteristic information; the occupant's personal characteristic information includes the occupant's age and / or gender;

[0050] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be an intelligent body controller or other controllers of the vehicle. This embodiment is described by taking the execution subject as an intelligent body controller. In the intelligent vehicle system, intelligent body controllers refer to those controllers responsible for managing, controlling and optimizing various functions of the vehicle. These controllers are one of the core components of intelligent vehicles. They achieve precise control and optimization of vehicle behavior by integrating multiple sensors, algorithms and communication technologies.

[0051] The correspondence between air-conditioning outlets and seats can be one-to-one or one-to-many. One-to-one means that each seat is provided with an independent air-conditioning outlet, and one-to-many means that one air-conditioning outlet is used to blow air to the front seats, and the other air-conditioning outlet is used to blow air to the back seats. Exemplarily, a vehicle may include a central outlet (located above the center console, which can cover passengers in the front seats), a side outlet (located on the side of the vehicle, usually between the front seats or above the back seats, which can cover passengers in the back seats), and a floor outlet (located under the front seats).

[0052] The image acquisition device can be built-in or installed in the vehicle. The image acquisition device can be installed on the top of the vehicle, near the A-pillar or other suitable locations, and the shooting range can cover all seats that need to be detected. The image acquisition device can be a high-definition camera.

[0053] The vehicle occupancy information includes the occupancy status of each seat (occupied / unoccupied).

[0054] As an example, the occupancy status of each seat and the age and / or gender of the occupant may be determined based on the image by the following steps:

[0055] First, the collected images are preprocessed, including denoising, contrast enhancement, brightness adjustment, etc., to improve image quality and facilitate subsequent processing;

[0056] Segment the image into regions corresponding to the vehicle seats. This usually requires a custom design based on the specific layout of the vehicle and the camera’s viewing angle;

[0057] In each seating area, use image analysis techniques (such as edge detection, shape recognition, etc.) to detect the presence of occupants. This can be achieved by analyzing pixel changes, color differences, texture features, etc. within the area;

[0058] Generate vehicle occupancy information based on the detection results, including the occupancy status of each seat (occupied / unoccupied);

[0059] After detecting that the seat is occupied, further face detection is performed in the area. The face detection algorithm can identify the face area in the image and separate it from the background;

[0060] Extract features from the detected face area. These features may include the shape, size, position relationship of the facial contour, eyes, nose, mouth and other parts, as well as skin texture and color;

[0061] The extracted features are input into a pre-trained machine learning model, which will determine the age and / or gender of the occupant based on these features. Commonly used machine learning models include convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and support vector machines (SVMs). These models have learned the association between age, gender, and facial features during training;

[0062] Based on the classification results of the model, output the age and / or gender information of the occupant. It should be noted that since the recognition of age and gender is usually not a binary classification problem (except that gender can be simplified to male / female binary classification in some cases), the output result may be a range or probability distribution (for age) or a specific category label (for gender).

[0063] Step S20: Based on the vehicle seat occupancy information, controlling the air-conditioning outlet switch corresponding to the vehicle seat;

[0064] As an example, if the air-conditioning vents are set in a one-to-one correspondence with the seats, based on the vehicle occupancy information, the air-conditioning outlets corresponding to the occupied seats will be opened, and the air-conditioning outlets corresponding to the unoccupied seats will be closed.

[0065] As an example, if the correspondence between the air-conditioning outlets and the seats is one-to-many, for example, the vehicle is designed with two rows, and is provided with a central air outlet (located above the center console, which can cover the passengers in the front seats) and side air outlets (located between the front seats or above the rear seats, which can cover the passengers in the rear seats), then based on the vehicle occupancy information, the occupancy status of the front and rear seats is determined. When at least one seat in the front row (or rear row) is occupied, the central air outlet (or side air outlet) is opened; conversely, if all seats in the front row (or rear row) are not occupied, the central air outlet (or side air outlet) is closed.

[0066] Step S30: determining the air outlet adjustment parameters of the target air-conditioning outlet corresponding to the seat where the occupant is located based on the occupant's personal characteristic information;

[0067] It is understandable that the target air-conditioning outlet refers to the outlet corresponding to the seat where the occupant is located, which may be one or more.

[0068] It should be noted that passengers of different ages may have different perceptions of temperature and comfort requirements. For example, the elderly and children may be more sensitive to temperature changes and prefer a milder ambient temperature, while young people may be more adaptable to larger temperature fluctuations.

[0069] Gender differences of passengers will also affect their comfort preferences. For example, female passengers may prefer a warmer environment. Therefore, adjusting the air conditioning outlet according to the gender and age of the passengers can improve the intelligent and personalized service quality of the vehicle. Of course, the air conditioning outlet adjustment parameters can also be determined based only on the age or gender of the passengers to adjust the air conditioning outlet.

[0070] The air flow adjustment parameters may include but are not limited to the following dimensions:

[0071] Air volume: Adjust the air volume in the corresponding seating area according to the age and gender of the occupants. For example, if an elderly passenger is detected, the air volume setting in that area can be appropriately reduced.

[0072] Wind speed: In addition to temperature, wind speed is also an important factor affecting passenger comfort. For sensitive passengers (such as the elderly, children or the infirm), the wind speed can be reduced to reduce discomfort.

[0073] Wind direction: By adjusting the wind direction of the air outlet, you can ensure that the cold or warm air blows directly to the passenger's comfort area (such as the face and feet), while avoiding blowing directly to sensitive parts of the body (such as the neck and knees).

[0074] Exemplarily, the air volume of the air outlet of the vehicle air conditioner can be controlled by adjusting the wind speed gear of the air conditioning system. Different models and air conditioning systems may provide different wind speed gear options, such as low, medium and high gears. If the personal characteristic information of the occupant is that of an elderly person and a female, the air outlet adjustment parameters of the air outlet corresponding to the seat where the occupant is located can be set to a low wind speed and a downward wind direction. If the personal characteristic information of the occupant is that of a middle-aged person, the air outlet adjustment parameters of the air outlet corresponding to the seat where the occupant is located can be set to a medium wind speed and a downward wind direction.

[0075] Step S40: adjusting the air outlet of the target air-conditioning outlet according to the air outlet adjustment parameter.

[0076] In a specific implementation, the intelligent body controller is in communication with the air conditioning controller, and the intelligent body controller sends the air outlet adjustment parameter to the air conditioning controller, so that the air conditioning controller adjusts the air outlet of the target air conditioning outlet.

[0077] In this embodiment, the vehicle occupancy information and the gender and age information of the occupants are determined by analyzing the image, and then the corresponding air-conditioning outlet is automatically opened or closed according to the occupancy information. Then, based on the gender and / or age of the occupants, appropriate air outlet adjustment parameters (such as air volume, wind speed, wind direction, etc.) are determined. Finally, according to the determined air outlet adjustment parameters, the air outlet state of the target air-conditioning outlet corresponding to the seat where the occupant is located is automatically adjusted to meet the personalized needs of the occupants. Automatically closing the air-conditioning outlet corresponding to the unoccupied seat reduces energy waste, and automatically adjusting the air outlet corresponding to the seat where the occupant is located according to the occupant's personal characteristics, more accurately meeting the personalized comfort needs of the occupants. The entire process does not require manual operation by the occupants, realizing intelligent control of the air-conditioning system.

[0078] Based on any of the above embodiments, step S30 includes: Figure 2 Steps S31-S32 shown:

[0079] Step S31: obtaining the air conditioning air outlet adjustment instruction input by the occupant;

[0080] It should be noted that the air conditioning outlet adjustment command can be a manual adjustment command or an intelligent adjustment command.

[0081] As an example, an instrument screen is set at each seat, on which wind adjustment options are displayed, and passengers can choose manual adjustment or intelligent adjustment.

[0082] As an example, the air outlet adjustment options for each seat are displayed on the center console screen, and passengers can choose manual adjustment or intelligent adjustment for each seat.

[0083] Step S32: When the air conditioning outlet adjustment instruction is an intelligent adjustment instruction, based on the occupant's personal characteristic information, determine the outlet adjustment parameters of the target air conditioning outlet corresponding to the seat where the occupant is located.

[0084] It should be understood that when the occupant chooses to have the vehicle intelligently adjust the air conditioning, it is necessary to determine the air conditioning adjustment parameters based on the occupant's personal characteristic information and adjust the air outlet of the target air conditioning outlet according to the air conditioning adjustment parameters. If the occupant chooses manual adjustment, it is not necessary to determine the air conditioning adjustment parameters based on the occupant's personal characteristic information.

[0085] In this embodiment, the occupants do not need to manually adjust multiple parameters, but only need to issue an intelligent adjustment command, and the system can automatically complete all adjustment processes.

[0086] Based on any of the above embodiments, after step S31, the following steps are also included: Figure 3 Steps S311-S312 shown:

[0087] Step S311: when the air conditioning air outlet adjustment instruction is a manual adjustment instruction, obtaining manual adjustment data input by the occupant; the manual adjustment data includes air outlet volume and / or air outlet angle;

[0088] In the specific implementation, there will be an axis adjustment button under the manual adjustment submenu, and the passengers can select the air volume and / or air outlet angle for different seats.

[0089] Step S312: adjusting the air volume and / or air outlet angle of the target air-conditioning outlet based on the manual adjustment data.

[0090] Specifically, the system adjusts the air volume and / or air outlet angle of the target air-conditioning outlet according to the manual adjustment data, which usually involves controlling the actuators of the air-conditioning system (such as motors, dampers, valves, etc.) to change the opening degree and / or wind direction of the air outlet.

[0091] In this embodiment, manual adjustment can be achieved through an intuitive and easy-to-use interface such as a touch screen, so passengers can quickly get started without complicated operations, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0092] Based on any of the above embodiments, the determining of the vehicle occupancy information and the occupant's personal characteristic information based on the vehicle interior image including the vehicle seat and the vehicle occupant acquired by the image acquisition device includes:

[0093] The vehicle interior image is input into a trained personal feature classification model to obtain the vehicle occupancy information and the occupant personal feature information.

[0094] It should be noted that the personal feature classification model is a pre-trained machine learning or deep learning model that can extract features from an input image and classify based on these features. The personal feature classification model can be a convolutional neural network model. This embodiment is described by taking the personal feature classification model as a convolutional neural network model as an example.

[0095] It should be understood that the convolutional neural network model is supervised by a data set, which is a plurality of images of people with age and gender information. The data set is input into the convolutional neural network for learning and training, so that the convolutional neural network can recognize whether there are passengers in the seats and the personal characteristic information of the passengers.

[0096] Specifically, the image is transmitted to the agent algorithm embedded in the agent controller, and the core of the agent algorithm is the convolutional neural network model. In the convolutional neural network model, a special branch or module is designed to identify the occupancy situation inside the vehicle. This branch determines which seats are occupied by analyzing the seating area in the image to detect whether there are occupants (such as human body outlines, head and other features). This step may rely on object detection or semantic segmentation technology. For the identified occupants, the model further analyzes their facial features or other physical features to determine the occupant's personal characteristic information. Specifically, age is divided into N gears (such as "children", "teenagers", "adults", "middle-aged and elderly people", etc.), and gender (male or female) is added, forming a total of 2N categories. Each category corresponds to a specific age gear and gender combination, and the occupants in the picture can be classified into a certain category using the trained convolutional neural network model.

[0097] In this embodiment, through the trained personal feature classification model, efficient analysis of the vehicle interior image is achieved, so as to accurately obtain the vehicle occupancy information and the occupant's personal feature information, providing a basis for air conditioning outlet adjustment.

[0098] Based on any of the above embodiments, step S20 includes step S21 and / or step S22:

[0099] Step S21: determining unoccupied seats according to the vehicle occupancy information, and controlling the air-conditioning outlets corresponding to the unoccupied seats to be closed; and / or

[0100] Specifically, after obtaining the vehicle occupancy information, which seats are unoccupied are identified based on the information, and the corresponding air-conditioning outlets are found based on the position information of the unoccupied seats. Then, the position information of the unoccupied seats and the closing instructions are sent to the air-conditioning controller, so that the air-conditioning controller sends the closing instructions to the air-conditioning outlets corresponding to these unoccupied seats.

[0101] Step S22: Determine an occupied seat according to the vehicle occupancy information, and control the air-conditioning outlet corresponding to the occupied seat to open.

[0102] Specifically, the corresponding air-conditioning outlets are found according to the position information of the occupied seats, and then, an opening instruction is sent to the air-conditioning outlets corresponding to the occupied seats through the air-conditioning controller.

[0103] It should be noted that step S21 and step S22 may be performed simultaneously, or either step may be performed separately.

[0104] In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the air outlet is automatically controlled by identifying the occupancy status of the vehicle, thereby realizing intelligent control of the air outlet.

[0105] Based on any of the above embodiments, step S30 includes:

[0106] Based on the occupant's personal characteristic information, the air outlet adjustment parameter is determined from a pre-stored correspondence table, wherein the correspondence table includes a correspondence between the occupant's personal characteristic information and the air outlet adjustment parameter.

[0107] It should be noted that the correspondence between the occupant's personal characteristic information and the air outlet adjustment parameters can be stored in the form of a table, a database, a key-value pair, a decision tree, a graph, etc.

[0108] The corresponding relationship is based on a large amount of data analysis, user surveys, and experimental verification, and aims to provide the most suitable air conditioning outlet settings for passengers of different ages and genders.

[0109] In this embodiment, the process of determining the air conditioning outlet adjustment parameters based on the occupant's personal characteristic information is implemented by using a pre-stored correspondence table, which is more efficient.

[0110] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the vehicle further includes an air outlet adjustment component corresponding to the air outlet of the air conditioner; the air outlet adjustment parameter includes an air outlet volume and / or an air outlet angle; step S40 includes:

[0111] According to the air outlet adjustment parameter, the air outlet adjustment component is controlled to adjust the air outlet volume and / or air outlet angle of the target air-conditioning outlet.

[0112] It should be noted that the air outlet regulating component can be a valve, a wind direction regulator, a damper, etc. The air outlet regulating component can adjust the air volume and angle of the air outlet according to the control signal. This embodiment takes the air outlet regulating component as a valve for example.

[0113] Optionally, a valve is added to each air outlet channel. The valve can be opened or closed by an electrical signal to control the air outlet of the air outlet sub-channel of the air conditioner, and the control switch of the valve is connected to the air conditioner controller.

[0114] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4A schematic diagram of a system processing flow provided for an embodiment of the present application. In the figure, the image collected by the image acquisition device is transmitted to the intelligent body controller. The intelligent body controller first identifies which position has passengers based on the image, and sends a request to the air conditioning controller to close the air outlet corresponding to the unoccupied position. For the position where someone is sitting, the convolutional neural network model is also used to identify which category of 2N it belongs to (dividing age into N gears, such as "children", "teenagers", "adults", "middle-aged and elderly people", etc., and adding gender, a total of 2N categories are formed. Each category corresponds to a specific age gear and gender combination), and then the intelligent air volume data is calculated through the experience data of big data. If the passenger at the corresponding position chooses intelligent control on the instrument screen, the intelligent body controller sends the intelligent air volume data to the air conditioning controller, and the air conditioning controller delivers the corresponding air volume to the seat through the air outlet adjustment component and the air outlet according to the request. If the passenger chooses manual selection, the data manually adjusted by the passenger is sent to the air conditioning controller, and the air conditioning controller delivers the corresponding air volume to the seat through the air outlet adjustment component and the air outlet according to the request.

[0115] In this embodiment, an air outlet adjustment component corresponding to the air outlet of the air conditioner is introduced into the vehicle air-conditioning system, and the air outlet volume and / or air outlet angle of each air outlet are precisely controlled according to the air outlet adjustment parameters (including air outlet volume and / or air outlet angle), thereby improving the intelligence and efficiency of the air outlet adjustment of the air conditioner.
