[0073] In some embodiments, determining an image acquisition device that can acquire images of the area requiring attention includes: determining the relative position of the area requiring attention and the vehicle; and determining the image acquisition device that acquires images of the relative position as an image acquisition device whose image acquisition range includes the area requiring attention.

[0074] For example, the relative position of the area requiring attention and the vehicle may be the left front, left, right front, right, left rear, rear, right rear, front, etc. of the vehicle.

[0075] Step 104: Control the display device to display the image captured by the determined image capture device.

[0076] There are many ways to display the image captured by the determined image acquisition device, such as turning off other displays and only displaying the image captured by the determined image acquisition device; flashing the image captured by the determined image acquisition device; displaying the image captured by the determined image acquisition device in a frame; displaying the image captured by the determined image acquisition device while superimposing corresponding text, etc.

[0077] The display device is installed in a position on the vehicle that is convenient for the driver to observe, for example, it can be installed in front of the driver or in the position of a traditional rearview mirror.

[0093] It should be noted that, if it is determined that the currently acquired driving-related information of the vehicle meets the pre-set dangerous situation, a sound alarm can also be issued. In addition to the sound alarm, it is also possible to force the switch from manual driving to automatic driving, take over the steering wheel automatic driving, to avoid dangerous behavior.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by acquiring information related to the driving of a vehicle, determining an area around the vehicle that needs attention based on the information related to the driving of the vehicle, determining an image acquisition device that can acquire images of the area that needs attention, and controlling a display device to display images acquired by the determined image acquisition device, it is possible to select images acquired by the image acquisition device that needs to be viewed based on the information related to the driving of the vehicle, thereby meeting the viewing needs of users during driving, improving the intelligence and flexibility of monitoring display, and providing possibilities for safe driving of vehicles.

[0095] In an exemplary embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the method flow for display control of a vehicle equipped with multiple image acquisition devices mainly includes:

[0096] Step 201, obtaining the road condition information of the road section where the vehicle is located; wherein the vehicle is provided with at least two image acquisition devices.

[0097] In some embodiments, the road condition information of the road section where the vehicle is located can be obtained in multiple ways, for example, by detecting the road condition information through a radar installed on the vehicle; or, by interacting with the outside world (other nearby vehicles, etc.) through a V2X module installed on the vehicle. It should be noted that this is only an example, and other ways to obtain the road condition information are also included, such as obtaining images collected by an image acquisition device in an open state, or road condition information obtained through the Internet of Things.

[0098] In some embodiments, the vehicle is provided with at least two of the following image acquisition devices: a front image acquisition device, a rear image acquisition device, a left-side image acquisition device (which may include at least one of a left-front image acquisition device and a left-rear image acquisition device), and a right-side image acquisition device (which may include at least one of a right-front image acquisition device and a right-rear image acquisition device).

[0099] In some embodiments, obtaining the road condition information of the road section where the vehicle is located includes: obtaining the road condition information of the road section that matches the current driving behavior. For example, after monitoring the driving behavior of merging, the road condition information of the road section on the side of the merging direction of the vehicle is obtained; or after detecting the driving behavior of turning, the road condition information of the road section on the side of the turning direction of the vehicle is obtained.

[0100] Step 202, determining an area that needs attention based on the road condition information; wherein the area that needs attention is within a preset range centered on the vehicle.

[0101] In some embodiments, the road condition information includes relative position information between the vehicle and surrounding objects. Accordingly, determining the area to be concerned based on the road condition information includes: determining the area to be concerned based on the relative position information and position information of at least one monitoring area of ​​the vehicle.

[0102] In some embodiments, an area requiring attention is determined based on the relative position information and the position information of at least one monitoring area of ​​a vehicle, including: determining a positional relationship between surrounding objects and at least one monitoring area based on the relative position information and the position information of at least one monitoring area of ​​a vehicle, and selecting an area requiring attention from the at least one monitoring area based on the positional relationship.

[0103] In some embodiments, determining the positional relationship between the surrounding objects and the at least one monitoring area according to the relative position information and the position information of at least one monitoring area of ​​the vehicle includes: performing the following processing on any one of the monitoring areas:

[0104] When it is determined according to the relative position information and the position information of the monitoring area that the surrounding objects fall within the range of the monitoring area, it is determined that the positional relationship between the surrounding objects and the monitoring area belongs to;

[0105] When it is determined, based on the relative position information and the position information of the monitoring area, that the surrounding objects do not fall within the range of the monitoring area, and when it is determined that the distance between the surrounding objects and the monitoring area is within a set range, the position relationship between the surrounding objects and the monitoring area is determined to be close;

[0106] Based on the relative position information and the position information of the monitoring area, it is determined that the surrounding objects do not fall within the range of the monitoring area, and when it is determined that the distance between the surrounding objects and the monitoring area is within the set range, it is determined that the position relationship between the surrounding objects and the monitoring area is not within and is not adjacent to the monitoring area.

[0107] Accordingly, according to the position relationship, an area to be concerned is selected from at least one monitoring area, including but not limited to the following two cases, wherein one of the following two cases can be selected to obtain the area to be concerned, or the results selected from the following two cases can be used together as the final area to be concerned:

[0108] Case 1: From at least one monitoring area, a monitoring area with a position relationship belonging to is selected as an area requiring attention;

[0109] Case 2: From at least one monitoring area, select a monitoring area with a neighboring position relationship, obtain the relative movement speed value of the surrounding objects and the vehicle, and when the relative movement speed value exceeds the set speed value, treat the neighboring monitoring area as an area that needs attention.

[0110] The surrounding objects may be other vehicles (cars, electric vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, ships, etc.), pedestrians, etc.

[0111] Step 203: Acquire and display the image captured in real time by the image capture device used to capture the area requiring attention.

[0112] Among them, the display screen used to display the image captured by the image acquisition device in real time is installed in a position on the vehicle that is convenient for the driver to observe, for example, it can be installed in front of the driver or at the position of a traditional rearview mirror.

[0113] In some embodiments, when the number of areas that require attention is at least two, at least two image acquisition devices corresponding to the at least two areas that require attention are determined, and images acquired in real time by the at least two image acquisition devices are simultaneously displayed in different display areas of the display screen.

[0114] In some embodiments, the acquisition and display of the image captured in real time by the image acquisition device for capturing the area requiring attention also includes issuing a sound alarm to remind the driver that the area requiring attention is dangerous. In addition to the sound alarm, the manual driving can be forced to switch to the automatic driving, taking over the steering wheel automatic driving to avoid dangerous behavior.

[0115] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 The figure shows a schematic diagram of a scenario in which road condition information is detected by a car radar. The process of intelligently selecting a camera image based on the information detected by the car radar is as follows:

[0116] When the radar of car A (radar A) detects that car B is approaching from the right rear of car A, the central control computer of car A analyzes the information detected by radar A, intelligently activates the right camera of car A (or the right blind spot camera), that is, camera A, and displays the image of this camera (camera A) on the display screen in front of the driver. If necessary, an appropriate sound alarm can be issued to remind the driver that there is a car coming from the right rear of him (her).

[0117] Specifically, Figure 4a The figure shows a block diagram of the structure of selecting camera images by using information detected by automobile radar. The radar, camera and display screen are respectively connected to the central control computer. The radar, camera and display screen each work under the control of the central control computer. The central control computer obtains the information detected by the radar, controls the camera to turn on and displays it through the display screen after analysis. Figure 4b The figure shows a flow chart of intelligently selecting camera images using information detected by the automobile radar, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0118] Step 401: The radar installed on the vehicle detects road condition information; for example, the road condition information indicates that there is an oncoming vehicle behind the right side of the vehicle;

[0119] Step 402, the radar transmits the road condition information to the central control computer;

[0120] Step 403, the central control computer analyzes the road condition information transmitted by the radar, and determines the camera to be turned on according to the analysis result;

[0121] Step 404: the central control computer generates a command to turn on the camera, sends the command to the camera, and controls the camera to turn on; this step is optional, and if the selected camera is already in the turned-on state, this step is not required;

[0122] Step 405: the central control computer sends a display command to the display screen to control the display screen to display the image of the camera.

[0123] In another exemplary embodiment, Figure 5 The following is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which road condition information is obtained through V2X. The process of intelligently selecting camera images based on the road condition information obtained through V2X is as follows:

[0124] When the distance between car A and car B is less than a certain length (effective communication distance of V2X), car A and car B start communicating through V2X. The central control computer of car A can analyze the information obtained through V2X communication and determine that there is a car (car B) coming from the right rear of car A. At this time, the central control computer of car A can intelligently start the right camera of car A (or the blind spot camera on the right), that is, camera A, and display the image of this camera (camera A) on the display screen in front of the driver. If necessary, an appropriate sound alarm can be issued to remind the driver that there is a car coming from the right rear of him (her).

[0125] Specifically, Figure 6a The figure shows a block diagram of the structure of intelligently selecting camera images using V2X information. In car A, V2X-A, camera and display are respectively connected to the central control computer, and V2X-A, camera and display each work under the control of the central control computer; V2X-A of car A exchanges information with V2X-B of car B, and after analyzing the information interacted between V2X-A and V2X-B, the central control computer of car A controls the camera to turn on and display it on the display. Figure 6b The figure shows a flow chart of intelligently selecting camera images using V2X information, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0126] Step 601: The V2X of the vehicle communicates with the V2X of another vehicle to obtain the relative position information of the two vehicles;

[0127] Step 602, the V2X of the vehicle sends the relative position information to the central control computer;

[0128] Step 603, the central control computer analyzes and processes the relative position information;

[0129] Step 604: the central control computer sends a command based on the analysis result to turn on a certain camera; if the camera is already turned on, this step is omitted;

[0130] Step 605: the central control computer controls the display screen to display the image captured by the camera.

[0131] In another exemplary embodiment, Figure 7The control logic diagram of intelligently selecting camera images is shown. Through on-board sensors such as car radar and V2X, it is detected whether there are other cars around the vehicle, as well as the relative distance and relative speed of another car to the vehicle. In this embodiment, the control logic for other cars on the left side of the vehicle is similar to that of other cars on the right side of the vehicle. If there is at least one other car within the range of (-20 meters, +5 meters) on the right side of the vehicle (i.e. within 20 meters behind the right side of the vehicle and within 5 meters in front of the right side of the vehicle, including parallel with the vehicle), the camera image on the right side of the vehicle should be displayed. If there are no other cars within the above range, it should be checked whether there is another car within the range of (-50 meters, -20 meters) on the right side of the vehicle (i.e. within 20 meters to 50 meters behind the right side of the vehicle) with a relative speed greater than +2 meters per second (i.e. another car is in the same direction as the vehicle but the speed is at least 2 meters per second faster than the vehicle). If there is, the camera image on the right side of the vehicle should be displayed. If not, the camera image on the right side of the vehicle will not be displayed. It is worth noting that if it is determined according to this control flow that the images of the right camera and the left camera should both be displayed, the display screen can be divided into left and right halves to display the images of the left and right cameras respectively.

[0132] In some embodiments, obtaining the road condition information of the road section where the vehicle is located includes: obtaining the road condition information of the road section that matches the current driving behavior. After obtaining the road condition information that matches the current driving behavior, the image of the image acquisition device that matches the driving behavior can be directly displayed. Exemplarily, after monitoring the driving behavior of merging, the road condition information of the road section on the side of the merging direction of the vehicle is obtained; or, after detecting the driving behavior of turning, the road condition information of the road section on the side of the turning direction of the vehicle is obtained. After monitoring the driving behavior of merging, the image of the camera on the side of the merging direction is directly displayed, for example, if merging to the left, the image of the camera used to collect the left area of ​​the vehicle is directly displayed; if merging to the right, the image of the camera used to collect the right area of ​​the vehicle is directly displayed; after monitoring the driving behavior of turning, the image of the camera on the side of the turning direction is directly displayed, for example, if turning left, the image of the camera used to collect the left area of ​​the vehicle is directly displayed; if turning right, the image of the camera used to collect the right area of ​​the vehicle is directly displayed.

[0133] The display control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is different from the existing display control method which displays the wide-angle camera image in front of the vehicle by default and switches to displaying the camera image behind the vehicle when reversing.
