[0063] The technical solutions in this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.

[0064] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0065] In daily life, car owners may forget to close the doors, windows, and lights after using their vehicles. If doors and / or windows are not closed, items inside the car or even the vehicle itself may be stolen, resulting in financial loss for the owner. If lights are left on, the vehicle battery may be drained.

[0066] In view of the above-mentioned problems, this application provides a reminder method, device, vehicle and computer-readable storage medium to remind the vehicle owner to turn off vehicle components after using the vehicle, so as to avoid economic losses and vehicle power consumption.

[0067] The following is an embodiment of a reminder method provided in this application.

[0068] Figure 1 The illustration shows a schematic flowchart of a reminder method provided in an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the reminder method is applied to the vehicle controller, and the reminder method includes the following schemes:

[0069] S110: When the vehicle is turned off and a vehicle lock signal is received, determine whether a target signal has been received; wherein the target signal is an indication signal for closing a target component of the vehicle.

[0070] S120: If it is determined that the above-mentioned target signal has not been received, control the display of the light assembly located on the outside of the vehicle body to remind that the above-mentioned target component is not turned off.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, the situation where the vehicle is turned off and a lock signal is received can be understood as the owner parking, turning off the engine, and locking the vehicle after finishing use. In this case, the vehicle is stationary, and the engine is off and not running. The lock signal is issued by an operating device bound to the vehicle after the owner finishes using the vehicle. The operating device may include a smart key, a mobile terminal equipped with a vehicle control application, etc. After receiving the lock signal, the controller determines whether the target component of the vehicle is closed. If the target component is closed, the lock operation is performed. If the target component is not closed, the controller reminds the owner that the target component is not closed.

[0072] The target component can be a mechanical component of the vehicle that is closed and opened, such as doors, windows, and sunroofs. The target component can also be a circuit component of the vehicle that is closed and opened, such as air conditioning, audio, in-vehicle terminals, vehicle lighting systems (headlights, fog lights, and side marker lights), and other electrical equipment.

[0073] After receiving a lock signal, the system determines whether the target component of the vehicle is closed by checking if a target signal has been received. The target signal is an indication that the target component is closed. If the target signal is received and confirmed to have been received, it means the target component is closed and in the closed state, and the vehicle is locked. If the target signal is not received and confirmed to have been received, it means the target component is not closed and in the open state, and the system reminds the owner that the target component is not closed.

[0074] A lighting assembly is pre-installed on the exterior of the vehicle, positioned in a prominent location. For example, this assembly might be an ambient light, located on the side of the vehicle, in the upper right corner of the rear window. To alert the driver that a specific component is not turned off, a control command is sent to the assembly's control unit. This control unit then activates the external lighting assembly. In other words, when the driver locks the vehicle after exiting, if the system detects that a specific component is missing, it illuminates the assembly to indicate which component is not turned off. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 An exemplary schematic diagram of a vehicle is shown. Figure 2 The image shows a car with a D-pillar, where D represents the D-pillar and T1 represents the lighting assembly, which is specifically located at the D-pillar. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 Another exemplary schematic diagram of the vehicle is shown. Figure 3 The image shows a car with a C-pillar, where C represents the C-pillar and T2 represents the lighting assembly, which is specifically located at the C-pillar.

[0075] This application embodiment adopts a technical solution that, when the vehicle is turned off and a lock signal is received, determines whether an indication signal to shut down a target component of the vehicle has been received. If it is determined that an indication signal to shut down a target component is received, it controls a light assembly located on the outside of the vehicle to display a reminder that the target component is not shut down. This technical solution can remind the owner to shut down any unclosed vehicle components when the owner locks the vehicle, which helps to avoid economic losses for the owner and power consumption of the vehicle.

[0076] The following are Figure 1 The specific implementation methods of each step in the illustrated embodiment will be explained below:

[0077] In one possible implementation, the target component includes at least one of a window, a door, a sunroof, and a headlight, and determining whether a target signal is received includes at least one of the following methods:

[0078] Detect whether the above-mentioned window lift switch is received to determine whether the above-mentioned target signal is received;

[0079] Detect whether the door lock of the aforementioned vehicle door has been received, in order to determine whether the aforementioned target signal has been received;

[0080] Detect whether the above-mentioned sunroof opening / closing signal is received to determine whether the above-mentioned target signal is received;

[0081] Detect whether the above-mentioned headlight switch off signal is received to determine whether the above-mentioned target signal is received.

[0082] The window lift switch controls the raising and lowering of the car window. When the switch is raised, it generates a raise signal, and the window closes. When the switch is pressed down, it generates a lower signal, and the window opens. Therefore, by detecting whether the raise signal from the window lift switch is received, it can be determined whether the target signal is received. If the raise signal is received, it means the target signal has been received, the window closes, and the raise signal is the target signal. If the raise signal is not received, it means the target signal has not been received, and the window remains open.

[0083] The vehicle doors can be locked or unlocked by controlling the door locks. If the door lock generates a locking signal, the door will lock and close; if it generates an unlocking signal, the door will unlock and open. Therefore, it is possible to detect whether a door lock locking signal is received to determine whether a target signal has been received. If a locking signal is received, it means the target signal has been received, the door is closed and locked, and the locking signal is the target signal. If no locking signal is received, it means the target signal has not been received, and the door is not closed.

[0084] When the sunroof is opened, an open signal is generated, causing the sunroof glass to open; conversely, when the sunroof is closed, a close signal is generated, causing the sunroof glass to close. Therefore, the presence or absence of a close signal from the sunroof can be detected to determine if the target signal has been received. If a close signal is received, it indicates that the target signal has been received, and the sunroof is closed; the close signal is the target signal. If no close signal is received, it means the target signal has not been received, and the sunroof is most likely open.

[0085] When the headlight switch is turned off, a "off" signal is generated, and the headlights turn off; when the headlight switch is turned on, an "on" signal is generated, and the headlights turn on. Therefore, it is possible to detect whether the headlight switch's "off" signal is received to determine whether the target signal has been received. If the headlight switch's "off" signal is received, it means the target signal has been received, and the headlights are off; the headlight switch's "off" signal is the target signal. If the headlight switch's "off" signal is not received, it means the target signal has not been received, and the headlights are most likely off.

[0086] In one possible implementation, the above-mentioned reminder method also includes the following solutions:

[0087] If it is determined that the target signal is not received, an image of the area where the headlight switch is located is acquired;

[0088] If the headlight switch is determined to be in the on position based on the above image, the above-described step of controlling the display of the lighting components located on the exterior of the vehicle body is performed.

[0089] If the target component is the headlight, and it has been preliminarily determined that no off signal has been received from the headlight switch, then the headlight can be considered to be on. To avoid false positives, it can be verified whether the headlight switch is indeed off. Typically, the on and off positions of the headlight switch are different; the current position of the headlight switch can be used to determine whether it is off. Therefore, if it is determined that no off signal has been received from the headlight switch, an image of the area where the headlight switch is located is acquired. The image is used to identify whether the headlight switch is currently in the on position. If it is in the on position, it means the headlight switch is on, not off, thus confirming that the headlight is not off. In this case, the step of controlling the display of the lighting components located on the exterior of the vehicle is then executed.

[0090] In one possible implementation, when the target component is a mechanically-based component on a vehicle that controls opening and closing, the target component includes at least one of a window, a door, and a sunroof, and a first sensor assembly is provided at the corresponding stop structure of each of the window, door, and sunroof. Figure 4-1 As shown, Figure 4-1 An exemplary schematic diagram of a car window is shown. Figure 4-1 In the diagram, Z represents the stop structure corresponding to the window, which can be understood as the window stop. B represents the glass of the window. In the diagram, the rear window is not fully closed. When the window is fully closed, the edge of the glass is in close contact with the stop structure Z. A first sensor is installed at the stop structure Z of this rear window, and first sensors are also installed at the stop structures of other windows.

[0091] like Figure 4-2 As shown, Figure 4-2 An exemplary schematic diagram of a car door is shown. Figure 4-2 In the diagram, 100 represents the car door, specifically the front door. 201-204 represent the corresponding door stop structures, which can be understood as door opening stops. 201 represents the upper door opening stop, 202 represents the lower door opening stop, 203 represents the B-pillar opening stop, and 204 represents the A-pillar opening stop. A first sensor assembly is installed at each of the door stop structures; that is, at least one of 201-204 has a first sensor assembly. For example, a first sensor assembly is installed at the B-pillar opening stop 203, and a first sensor assembly is also installed at the upper door opening stop 201, and so on.

[0092] like Figure 4-3 As shown, Figure 4-3 An exemplary schematic diagram of a skylight is shown. Figure 4-3 In the diagram, X represents the sunroof glass, and Y represents the corresponding stop structure, which can be understood as the sunroof window stop. The sunroof glass in the diagram is not fully closed. When the sunroof glass is fully closed, the edge of the glass is in close contact with the stop structure Y.

[0093] The aforementioned first sensor device includes a pressure sensor and / or a spring-loaded switch device. When the glass contacts the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor generates a pressure signal; when the glass contacts the spring-loaded switch device, the spring-loaded switch device generates a switching signal, which is equivalent to the switch being closed and the circuit being connected. When the glass does not contact the spring-loaded switch device, it is equivalent to the switch being open and the circuit being disconnected.

[0094] The above methods for determining whether the target signal has been received include the following:

[0095] The system detects whether an electrical signal is received from the first sensor component to determine whether the target signal is received; wherein the electrical signal includes a switch signal and / or a pressure signal.

[0096] Because each of the windows, doors, and sunroof has a first sensor assembly installed at its corresponding stop structure, when any one of these components is completely closed, the first sensor assembly is triggered, generating an electrical signal which is then sent to the controller. The controller determines whether the target signal has been received by detecting whether it receives the electrical signal from the first sensor assembly. If the controller receives the electrical signal from the first sensor assembly, it means the target signal has been received; otherwise, it means the target signal has not been received.

[0097] If the target components include at least one of the following: windows, doors, sunroof, and headlights, and at least one of the following conditions is met: no signal is received from the window lift switch, no signal is received from the door lock, no signal is received from the sunroof switch, and no signal is received from the headlight switch, then it can be preliminarily concluded that at least one of the windows, doors, sunroof, and headlights was not closed when the owner locked the vehicle. If the target components include at least one of the windows, doors, and sunroof, it is determined whether a target signal has been received by detecting whether an electrical signal is received from the first sensor assembly. If no electrical signal is received from the first sensor assembly, it indicates that no target signal has been received, and it can be preliminarily concluded that a target component was not closed when the owner locked the vehicle.

[0098] To avoid misjudgment, and given the initial conclusion that a target component was not closed when the car owner locked the vehicle, the preliminary test results were further verified.

[0099] One possible implementation method, which further verifies the preliminary test results, includes the following solutions:

[0100] If it is determined that the target signal has not been received, acquire the target image;

[0101] If the target image meets the first closing condition, the above-mentioned step of controlling the display of the lighting components set on the outside of the vehicle body is executed;

[0102] The target image includes a first image of the vehicle window, a second image of the vehicle door, and a third image of the sunroof. The first closing condition includes:

[0103] In the first image above, the glass of the aforementioned vehicle window does not contact the corresponding stop structure of the vehicle window; or,

[0104] In the second image above, the door and the corresponding stop structure of the door do not contact each other; or,

[0105] In the third image above, the glass of the skylight is not in contact with the corresponding stop structure of the skylight.

[0106] The process for verifying the preliminary test results is as follows:

[0107] After determining that no target signal was received, it is initially assumed that a target component was not closed when the car owner locked the car. Then, the video of the car cabin is acquired, and the target image is extracted from the video. The target image includes a first image of the area where the window is located, a second image of the area where the door is located, and a third image of the area where the sunroof is located. Then, it is determined whether the target image meets the first closing condition. If it does, it means that a target component was indeed not closed when the car owner locked the car. Then, the step of controlling the display of the lighting components set on the outside of the vehicle body is executed to avoid misjudgment.

[0108] The first closure condition includes: in the first image, the glass of the window does not contact the corresponding stop structure of the window; or in the second image, the door does not contact the corresponding stop structure of the door; or in the third image, the glass of the sunroof does not contact the corresponding stop structure of the sunroof. To determine whether the glass of the window in the first image does not contact the corresponding stop structure, whether the door in the second image does not contact the corresponding stop structure, and whether the glass of the sunroof in the third image does not contact the corresponding stop structure, the first, second, and third images can be compared with their respective preset images. If the similarity between the two images is greater than a preset value, it is considered that the corresponding stop structure does not contact, i.e., the target component is not closed.

[0109] In one possible implementation, another approach to further verify the preliminary test results, namely the above-mentioned reminder method, also includes the following:

[0110] If it is determined that the target signal has not been received, the target distance is obtained;

[0111] If the target distance meets the second closing condition, the above-mentioned step of controlling the display of the lighting components located on the outside of the vehicle body is executed;

[0112] The target distances include the first distance between the glass of the vehicle window and the corresponding stop structure of the vehicle window, the second distance between the edge of the vehicle door and the corresponding stop structure of the vehicle door, and the third distance between the glass of the sunroof and the corresponding stop structure of the sunroof.

[0113] The second closing condition mentioned above includes:

[0114] The aforementioned first distance is greater than a first distance threshold; or,

[0115] The second distance mentioned above is greater than the second distance threshold; or,

[0116] The third distance mentioned above is greater than the third distance threshold.

[0117] After determining that no target signal was received, it was initially assumed that a target component was not closed when the car owner locked the vehicle. Next, the target distance was obtained, including the first distance between the window glass and the corresponding stop structure, the second distance between the edge of the door and the corresponding stop structure, and the third distance between the sunroof glass and the corresponding stop structure. For example... Figures 4-1 to 4-3 As shown, d1 represents the first distance, d2 represents the second distance, and d3 represents the third distance.

[0118] When the car windows, doors, and sunroof are fully closed, the window glass and the corresponding stop structure are in close contact, with a very small distance between them, approximately zero. Similarly, the edge of the door and the corresponding stop structure are in close contact, with a very small distance between them, approximately zero. The sunroof glass and the corresponding stop structure are in close contact, with a very small distance between them, approximately zero. Therefore, a distance threshold can be set, and the measured distance can be compared with the distance threshold to determine whether the windows, doors, and sunroof are closed.

[0119] After obtaining the target distance, it is determined whether the target distance meets the second closing condition. If it does, it means that a target component was indeed not closed when the owner locked the car. In this case, the step of controlling the display of the lights located on the exterior of the vehicle is executed to avoid false alarms. The second closing condition includes: a first distance greater than a first distance threshold; or a second distance greater than a second distance threshold; or a third distance greater than a third distance threshold. A first distance greater than the first distance threshold indicates that the window is not closed; a second distance greater than the second distance threshold indicates that the door is not closed; and a third distance greater than the third distance threshold indicates that the sunroof is not closed.

[0120] In one possible implementation, when the target component is a circuit-level device on the vehicle that controls turning the device on and off, the target component further includes a headlight. The headlight is electrically connected in parallel with a second sensor assembly, which detects whether a voltage signal exists across the headlight. The determination of whether a target signal has been received includes the following methods:

[0121] The system detects whether a voltage signal is received from the second sensor component to determine whether the target signal is received.

[0122] When the headlight switch is on, the headlights are powered on and have voltage across their terminals; when the headlights are off, there is no voltage across their terminals. Therefore, the presence or absence of voltage across the headlight terminals can be detected by a second sensor assembly to determine whether the headlights are off. If the second sensor assembly detects voltage across the headlight terminals, it sends a voltage signal back to the controller. The controller determines whether the target signal has been received by detecting whether it receives the voltage signal from the second sensor assembly. If a voltage signal is detected from the second sensor assembly, the target signal is determined to be received; otherwise, if no voltage signal is detected from the second sensor assembly, the target signal is determined not to be received.

[0123] When the target component includes the headlights, the presence or absence of a voltage signal from the second sensor assembly is used to determine if the target signal has been received. If no voltage signal is detected from the second sensor assembly, it indicates that the target signal has not been received, and it can be preliminarily concluded that the headlights were not turned off when the owner locked the car. To avoid misjudgment, further verification is performed on the preliminary detection result that the headlights were not turned off when the owner locked the car, even if it is initially concluded that the headlights were not turned off when the owner locked the car.

[0124] In one possible implementation, the method for further verifying the preliminary detection result that the headlights are not turned off, namely the above-mentioned reminder method, also includes the following schemes:

[0125] Obtain the surface temperature of the LED bulbs in the headlights described above;

[0126] When the surface temperature is within the preset temperature range, the above-mentioned steps of controlling the display of the lighting components set on the outside of the vehicle body are performed.

[0127] Considering that the surface temperature of the headlight bulbs is higher when they are turned on than when they are turned off, the surface temperature of the bulbs can be used to determine whether the headlights are off. After confirming that no target signal is received, the surface temperature of the headlight bulbs is acquired, and then it is determined whether the surface temperature is within a preset temperature range. If it is within the preset temperature range, it means that the headlights are indeed not off, and then the step of controlling the display of the lighting components set on the outside of the vehicle body is executed to avoid misjudgment.

[0128] One possible implementation involves controlling the display of lighting components located on the exterior of the vehicle body, including the following solutions:

[0129] Obtain the display mode associated with the aforementioned target component;

[0130] Control the above-mentioned lighting components to display according to the above-mentioned display model.

[0131] The target components are pre-associated with corresponding display modes. When a target component displays according to the display mode, it presents light of different frequencies and colors. For example, the window is associated with display mode 1, the door with display mode 2, the sunroof with display mode 3, and the headlights with display mode 4. Each display mode (1-4) corresponds to a frequency and a color, and the frequency and color for each display mode are different. For example, if the window is not closed, the lighting components are controlled to display according to display mode 1, that is, the lighting components display color S1 according to frequency H1; if the door is not closed, the lighting components are controlled to display according to display mode 2, that is, the lighting components display color S2 according to frequency H2; if the sunroof is not closed, the lighting components are controlled to display according to display mode 3, that is, the lighting components display color S3 according to frequency H3; and if the headlights are not closed, the lighting components are controlled to display according to display mode 4, that is, the lighting components display color S4 according to frequency H4. The fact that H1-H4 and S1-S4 are different helps the driver distinguish which specific target component is not closed based on the frequency and color.
