[0040] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions of the present application may be practiced while omitting one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. may be adopted. In other cases, known technical solutions are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of the present application.

[0043] In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present application and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar parts, and their repeated description will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or implemented in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or implemented in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microprocessor devices.

[0044] In the related technology, if the vehicle needs to brake, turn, etc. during driving, the brake lights and turn lights configured for the vehicle will light up to serve as a warning, but if other vehicles and pedestrians do not pay attention in time, it is easy to cause a traffic accident. It can be seen that the related technology has a low warning strength and a low safety factor.

[0045] The reminder method, reminder device, vehicle and computer-readable storage medium provided by the present application can solve the problems in the related art. The following first introduces an embodiment of the reminder method.

[0046] Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram showing information interaction of a reminder method in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 , the embodiment shown in the figure includes: S101-S104.

[0047] In S101 , the microprocessor 120 of the vehicle determines that the target part 110 is touched.

[0048] Exemplarily, the target component 110 may be a component related to braking, such as a brake pedal, etc. The target component 110 may also be a component related to steering, such as a steering wheel, etc. The target component 110 may also be a component related to warning, such as a central control that issues warning information, etc.

[0049] In S102, the vehicle's microprocessor 120 responds to determining that the target component 110 is touched, and determines display control information based on the target component; in S103, the microprocessor 120 sends the display control information to the display controller 130; and, in S104, the display controller 130 controls the operation of the signal light set on the outside of the vehicle based on the display control information.

[0050] The display control information is used to control the operation of the signal lights disposed outside the vehicle. Figure 2 The signal lights are arranged on the outside of the vehicle body, specifically, they can be arranged on the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar of the vehicle. It can be understood that the vehicle including the D-pillar also has the above signal lights arranged on the D-pillar. Figure 2For the right side of the vehicle: a signal light 210-A is provided on the A-pillar, a signal light 210-B is provided on the B-pillar, and a signal light 210-C is provided on the right side of the C-pillar; for the left side of the vehicle: a signal light 220-A is provided on the A-pillar, a signal light 220-B is provided on the B-pillar, and a signal light 220-C is provided on the left side of the C-pillar; for the rear side of the vehicle: a signal light 200-C1 is provided on the rear side of the right C-pillar, and a signal light 200-C2 is provided on the rear side of the left C-pillar. For example, the specific setting position of the above-mentioned signal lights on the outside of the vehicle body is not limited, except for the following positions: Figure 2 In addition to the positions shown, other positions outside the vehicle body can also be provided. At the same time, the number of signal lights can be determined according to actual needs, and this application does not limit this.

[0051] In the embodiment provided by the present application, the above-mentioned display control information is related to the triggered target component. Specifically, when the above-mentioned target component is a component related to braking (such as a brake pedal), if the brake pedal is triggered, it can be said that the vehicle has a braking demand. Therefore, while controlling the braking of the vehicle, the display control information related to the braking action is determined according to the triggered target component (i.e., the brake pedal), and then the display control information is used to control the display of the signal light related to braking, thereby playing a reminder effect that the vehicle is in the braking process, which is beneficial to the safety of the braking process. When the above-mentioned target component is a component related to steering (such as a steering wheel), if the steering wheel is triggered, it can be said that the vehicle has a steering demand. Therefore, while controlling the steering of the vehicle, the display control information related to the steering action is determined according to the triggered target component (i.e., the steering wheel), and then the display control information is used to control the display of the signal light related to steering, thereby playing a reminder effect that the vehicle is in the steering process, which is beneficial to the safety of the steering process.

[0052] Exemplarily, the display control information may specifically include a signal light identification and display parameters, wherein the signal light identification is used to determine the target signal light to be operated among all signal lights provided on the vehicle body, and the display parameters are used to control the display color and display mode of the determined target signal light.

[0053] Figure 1 In the technical solution provided, if the target component of the vehicle is touched, the microprocessor of the vehicle determines the display control information according to the target component. Furthermore, the microprocessor of the vehicle sends the display control information to the display controller, so that the display controller controls the signal light set on the outside of the vehicle to work according to the above display control information. In the solution provided by the present application, the signal light set on the outside of the vehicle can effectively attract the attention of other vehicles, thereby playing a role in timely and conveniently reminding other vehicles, which is conducive to improving driving safety.

[0054] Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing information interaction of a reminder method in another exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 3 The embodiment provided in this figure is a reminder scheme when the target component is a brake component 110a, specifically including S301-S304.

[0055] In S301 , the microprocessor 120 determines whether the brake component 110 a is touched.

[0056] In the case where the brake component 110a is a component related to braking, if the brake component 110a is triggered, the microprocessor 120 determines that the vehicle has a braking demand. Therefore, while controlling the vehicle to perform a braking process (e.g., the brake pad is actuated, the brake light is turned on), the microprocessor 120 also determines display control information related to the braking action according to the triggered target component (i.e., the brake pedal), and then controls the display of the signal light related to braking through the display control information, thereby providing a reminder that the vehicle is in a braking process, which is beneficial to the safety of the braking process.

[0057] In S302, the microprocessor 120 determines the display control information: obtains the identification of the signal lamp arranged on the outer side of the rear end of the vehicle, determines the display color parameter to be the first preset color, and determines the display mode parameter to be the constant light mode.

[0058] Exemplary references Figure 2 During the braking process of the vehicle, in addition to the brake lights P and Q lighting up, in the embodiment provided by the present application, the microprocessor 120 obtains the identification of the signal lights arranged on the outer side of the rear end of the vehicle, such as 200-C1 and 200-C2; determines the display color parameter to be the first preset color, such as the more eye-catching red; and determines the display mode parameter to be the always-on mode. Therefore, the display control information determined by the microprocessor 120 in this embodiment is: the identification of the signal lights is 200-C1 and 200-C2, the display color parameter is red, and the display mode parameter is always-on. Among them, the always-on red signal light has strong transparency, which is easy to attract the attention of vehicles or pedestrians behind even in low visibility, thereby improving the safety factor.

[0059] Continue to refer Figure 3 In S303, the microprocessor 120 sends display control information to the display controller 130; and in S304, the display controller 130 controls the display color of the signal light arranged on the outer side of the rear end of the vehicle to be the first preset color and the display mode to be always on according to the display control information.

[0060] Figure 3In the provided embodiment, during the braking process of the vehicle, signal lights such as 200-C1 and 200-C2 arranged on the outer side of the rear end of the vehicle light up in conjunction with the braking action, and together with the brake lights P and Q, attract the attention of vehicles and pedestrians behind, reducing the probability of rear-end collisions, thereby playing a role in timely and conveniently reminding other vehicles, which is beneficial to improving driving safety.

[0061] Figure 4 A schematic diagram showing information interaction of a reminder method in another exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 4 The embodiment provided in this figure is a reminder scheme when the target component is the steering component 110b, specifically including S401-S406.

[0062] In S401 , the microprocessor 120 determines whether the steering component 110 b is touched.

[0063] In the case where the steering component 110b is a component related to steering, if the steering component 110b is triggered, the microprocessor 120 determines that the vehicle has a turning demand. Therefore, while controlling the vehicle to perform the steering process (e.g., the turn signal lights up), the microprocessor 120 also determines the display control information related to the steering action according to the triggered target component (e.g., the steering wheel), and then controls the display of the signal light related to the steering through the display control information, thereby providing a reminder that the vehicle is in the steering process, which is beneficial to the safety of the steering process.

[0064] In S402 , the microprocessor 120 determines a turning signal, including a turning direction and a turning angle.

[0065] The microprocessor 120 determines a steering signal, wherein the steering signal can be determined according to the direction and angle of the driver turning the steering wheel, or can also be determined according to a steering command determined during the automatic driving process, so as to determine the direction and angle of the current steering operation.

[0066] In S403, the microprocessor 120 determines that the rotation angle is greater than a preset value. In this embodiment, after determining the rotation angle, it is determined whether it is necessary to turn on the relevant signal light. Specifically, it is necessary to make a reminder when the rotation angle is greater than a preset value (such as 30 degrees), and conversely, it is not necessary to make a reminder when the rotation angle is not greater than the above preset value. Therefore, S404-S406 are executed only when the rotation angle is greater than the preset value.

[0067] In S404, the microprocessor 120 determines the display control information: obtains the identification of the signal light arranged on the target side of the vehicle, determines the display color parameter to be the second preset color, and determines the display mode parameter to be the first flashing frequency.

[0068] For example, firstly, it is determined whether the signal light to be operated is on the left or right side of the vehicle according to the turning direction in the turning information. It can be understood that when the vehicle turns left, the signal light arranged on the left side of the vehicle is determined to be operated, and vice versa, when the vehicle turns right, the signal light arranged on the right side of the vehicle is determined to be operated.

[0069] Exemplary references Figure 2 , in the process of the vehicle turning left, in addition to the turn signal light Q lighting up, in the embodiment provided by the present application, the microprocessor 120 obtains the identification of the signal light arranged on the left side of the vehicle, such as at least one of 210-A, 210-B and 210-C; determines the display color parameter to be the second preset color, such as yellow; and determines the display mode parameter to be the first flashing frequency. Therefore, the display control information determined by the microprocessor 120 in this embodiment is: the identification of the signal light is at least one of 210-A, 210-B and 210-C, the display color parameter is yellow, and the display mode parameter is the first flashing frequency, such as 500 milliseconds / time.

[0070] Continue to refer Figure 4 In S405, the microprocessor 120 sends display control information to the display controller 130; and in S406, the display controller 130 controls the display color of the signal light arranged on the target side of the vehicle to be a second preset color and displayed at a first flashing frequency according to the display control information.

[0071] Figure 4 In the provided embodiment, during the turning or lane changing process of the vehicle, at least one of the signal lights such as 210-A, 210-B and 210-C arranged on the outer side of the rear end of the vehicle lights up in conjunction with the turning action, and together with the brake light P or the brake light Q, attracts the attention of other vehicles and pedestrians, thereby playing a role in timely and conveniently reminding other vehicles, which is beneficial to improving driving safety.

[0072] Figure 5 A schematic diagram showing information interaction of a reminder method in another exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 5 The embodiment provided in this figure is a reminder scheme when the target component is the warning component 110c, specifically including S501-S504.

[0073] In S501 , the microprocessor 120 determines whether the warning component 110 c is touched.

[0074] In the case where the warning component 110c is a component related to warning, if the warning component 110c is triggered, the microprocessor 120 determines that the current vehicle has a fault and there is a need for a warning. Therefore, while the microprocessor 120 controls the vehicle to perform a warning action (such as flashing of the flashlight at the rear of the vehicle and honking of a warning horn), it also determines the display control information related to the warning action according to the triggered target component (such as an alarm automatically triggered by the vehicle or manually triggered by the user in the case of a vehicle fault), and then controls the display of the signal light related to the warning through the display control information, thereby reminding other vehicles not to approach the vehicle when it has a fault, which is conducive to improving the driving safety of other vehicles.

[0075] In S502, the microprocessor 120 determines the display control information: obtains the identification of the signal lights arranged on the left and right sides of the vehicle, determines the display color parameter to be the third preset color, and determines the display mode parameter to be the second flashing frequency.

[0076] Exemplary references Figure 2 In the warning process after a vehicle failure, in addition to the warning horn, in the embodiments provided in the present application, in one embodiment, the microprocessor 120 obtains the identification of the signal lights arranged on the left and right sides of the vehicle, such as at least one of 210-A, 210-B and 210-C, and at least one of 220-A, 220-B and 220-C; in another embodiment, the microprocessor 120 obtains the identification of the signal lights arranged on the left and right sides and the rear side of the vehicle, such as at least one of 210-A, 210-B and 210-C, and at least one of 220-A, 220-B and 220-C, and at least one of 200-C1 and 200-C2.

[0077] In addition, the microprocessor 120 further determines display parameters. In one embodiment, the microprocessor determines the display color parameter to be a third preset color, such as a more eye-catching red or yellow; and determines the display mode parameter to be a second flickering frequency. In another embodiment, the microprocessor determines the display color parameter to be at least two preset colors alternately displayed, such as a more eye-catching red and yellow alternately displayed; and determines the display mode parameter to be the second flickering frequency.

[0078] Thus, in one embodiment, the display control information determined by the microprocessor 120 is: the identification of the signal light is at least one of 210-A, 210-B and 210-C, and at least one of 220-A, 220-B and 220-C, the display color parameter is red or yellow, and the display mode parameter is the second flashing frequency. In another embodiment, the display control information determined by the microprocessor 120 is: the identification of the signal light is at least one of 210-A, 210-B and 210-C, at least one of 220-A, 220-B and 220-C, and at least one of 200-C1 and 200-C2, the display color parameter is alternating between red and yellow, and the display mode parameter is the second flashing frequency.

[0079] Continue to refer Figure 5 In S503, the microprocessor 120 sends display control information to the display controller 130; and in S504, the display controller 130 sets the display color of the signal lights on the left and right sides of the vehicle to the third preset color and displays them at the second flashing frequency according to the display control information.

[0080] Figure 5 In the provided embodiment, when the vehicle itself breaks down, the signal lights arranged on both sides of the vehicle, or on both sides and the outer side of the rear end, light up in conjunction with the warning action, and together with the warning action (such as flashing of the rear lights and warning horns), attract the attention of vehicles and pedestrians behind, reduce the probability of traffic incidents, and thus play a role in timely and conveniently reminding other vehicles, which is beneficial to improving driving safety.

[0081] Figure 6 The following is a schematic diagram showing information interaction of a reminder method in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 The embodiment provided in this figure is a reminder scheme when the target component is the warning component 110c, specifically including S601-S605.

[0082] In S601 , the microprocessor 120 determines that the warning component 110 c is touched.

[0083] In the case where the warning component 110c is a component related to warning, if the warning component 110c is triggered, the microprocessor 120 determines that the other vehicle a has a fault or there is an obstacle on the road, and there is a need to warn other vehicles or pedestrians besides vehicle a. Therefore, while the microprocessor 120 controls the vehicle to perform a warning action (such as flashing of the rear flasher and honking of the warning horn), it also determines the display control information related to the warning action according to the triggered target component, and then controls the display of the signal light related to the warning through the display control information, thereby reminding other vehicles not to approach the obstacle on the road, which is conducive to improving the driving safety of the vehicle.

[0084] In S602 , the microprocessor 120 determines a target direction corresponding to the warning object.

[0085] The microprocessor 120 determines the direction of the warning object (referred to as the target direction). For example, if the driver finds that there is an obstacle on the left side of the vehicle, the central control inputs a warning signal of the first type regarding the left side of the vehicle to be warned. The microprocessor 120 can determine that the target direction corresponding to the warning object is the left side according to the first type of warning signal. Similarly, if the driver finds that there is a fault on the right side of the vehicle, the central control inputs a warning signal of the second type regarding the right side of the vehicle to be warned. The microprocessor 120 can determine that the target direction corresponding to the warning object is the right side according to the second type of warning signal.

[0086] In S603, the microprocessor 120 determines the display control information: obtains the identification of the display light arranged on the target side of the vehicle, determines the display color parameter to be the third preset color, and determines the display mode parameter to be the second flashing frequency.

[0087] Exemplarily, first determine whether the signal light to be operated is on the left or right side of the vehicle according to the target direction corresponding to the warning object. It can be understood that when the target direction corresponding to the warning object is the left side, the signal light arranged on the left side of the vehicle is determined to be operated, and vice versa, when the target direction corresponding to the warning object is the right side, the signal light arranged on the right side of the vehicle is determined to be operated.

[0088] Exemplary references Figure 2 , in the case of the target direction corresponding to the warning object, in the embodiment provided by the present application, the microprocessor 120 obtains the identification of the signal light arranged on the left side of the vehicle, such as at least one of 210-A, 210-B and 210-C; determines the display color parameter to be a third preset color, such as yellow or red; and determines the display mode parameter to be a second flashing frequency. Therefore, the display control information determined by the microprocessor 120 in this embodiment is: the identification of the signal light is at least one of 210-A, 210-B and 210-C, the display color parameter is red or yellow, and the display mode parameter is the second flashing frequency, such as 500 milliseconds / time. Among them, the above-mentioned display color parameter can also be at least two preset colors displayed alternately, such as red and yellow displayed alternately.

[0089] Continue to refer Figure 6 In S605, the microprocessor 120 sends display control information to the display controller 130; and in S606, the display controller 130 controls the display color of the signal light arranged on the target side of the vehicle to be a third preset color and displayed at a second flashing frequency according to the display control information.

[0090] Figure 6In the provided embodiments, in warning scenarios such as when a vehicle warns other vehicles of the presence of obstacles, at least one of the signal lights such as 210-A, 210-B and 210-C arranged on the left side of the vehicle lights up, or at least one of the signal lights such as 220-A, 220-B and 220-C arranged on the right side of the vehicle lights up, together with warning actions (such as flashing of the rear lights and warning horns), attracts the attention of vehicles and pedestrians behind, thereby playing a role in timely and conveniently reminding other vehicles, which is beneficial to improving driving safety.
