[0044] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from obstructing the description of the present invention.

[0046] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, a specific embodiment is provided below for illustration.

[0047] This embodiment is mainly used to solve the problem that the driver has difficulty seeing the road conditions due to emergencies during vehicle driving. Through various sensors installed on the vehicle and the intelligent driving system, it detects the loss of vision and assists in driving the vehicle in the event of loss of vision to achieve emergency avoidance.

[0048] See also Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle auxiliary control method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S101, detecting whether a visual field is lost.

[0050] In this embodiment, two situations of vision loss are proposed. One is when the vehicle is driving, the tarpaulin covering the cargo of the truck in front falls off or other flying objects cover the front windshield. At this time, the vehicle speed is too high, the driver has no vision and is prone to nervous operation, which is very likely to cause an accident; the other is when the vehicle is in alternating light and dark, such as when entering or exiting a tunnel or when the high beam of an oncoming vehicle is dazzling. In the case of a sudden large difference in light and dark, due to physiological reasons, there will be a temporary loss of vision, affecting driving safety.

[0051] Among them, the loss of vision can be detected by cameras, light sensors, millimeter-wave radars and other equipment installed on the vehicle.

[0052] Step S102: If a loss of vision occurs, a corresponding emergency avoidance strategy is determined according to the type of the loss of vision situation; different types of loss of vision situations are preset with different emergency avoidance strategies; according to the emergency avoidance strategy, the vehicle is forced to be automatically driven.

[0053] In this embodiment, different emergency avoidance strategies are implemented for different vision loss situations. For example, if the tarpaulin covering the cargo of the truck in front falls off or other flying objects cover the front windshield, it is necessary to pull over and clear the foreign objects. In the case of vision loss when the vehicle is in alternating light and dark, the vision loss is only temporary, and the vehicle can be controlled to automatically drive along the current lane.

[0054] In addition, in the case of loss of vision, one existing avoidance strategy is to automatically turn on the wipers to clear the foreign object, but this method does not work well when the foreign object is too large or smashes the windshield. Another existing avoidance strategy is to project the road condition information ahead onto the multimedia screen inside the car, but in an emergency, the driver may not have time to look at the multimedia screen, and may misoperate the vehicle due to nervousness, so the effect of this method is not very ideal.

[0055] Taking the above problems into consideration, this embodiment adopts automatic driving control, which enables safe driving when the driver has no vision by forcibly taking over control of the vehicle, and can avoid driver misoperation.

[0056] Among them, autonomous driving control can be achieved through the EHP (Electronic Horizon Provider), ALC (Auto Lane Change), ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) and other systems installed on the vehicle.

[0057] EHP can provide beyond-visual-range road shape and data information for intelligent assisted driving.

[0058] ALC is an assisted driving function based on the comfort of lane centering assistance. On smooth closed highways or urban expressways, it can assist the driver in lane changes.

[0059] ADAS uses a variety of sensors installed on the vehicle to collect data and combines it with map data for calculations, thereby predicting possible dangers for the driver and ensuring driving safety.

[0060] It can be seen that this embodiment pre-sets different emergency avoidance strategies for different types of vision loss situations, and can reasonably avoid danger control for the vehicle, such as keeping the vehicle on the road when the vision is lost due to sudden changes in light when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel, and pulling over when the front windshield of the vehicle is blocked by foreign objects. At the same time, this embodiment automatically controls the vehicle by force in the case of vision loss, without the need for driver operation, to prevent the driver from changing lanes, braking, and other operations without vision, which may cause danger.

[0061] As a possible implementation, the type of view loss situation includes light effects.

[0062] Accordingly, in step S101, the method for detecting whether the visual field loss caused by light influence occurs includes:

[0063] Detecting the light intensity inside and / or outside the vehicle, and determining whether there is a sudden light change based on the light intensity; wherein the sudden light change refers to a change in light intensity within a first preset time that is greater than a first preset threshold;

[0064] Detect the driver's facial expressions and determine whether the driver is under the influence based on the facial expressions;

[0065] If the light changes suddenly and the driver is affected, it is determined that a loss of vision of the type light impact has occurred.

[0066] When a vehicle enters or exits a tunnel, the light intensity inside or outside the vehicle will suddenly change greatly. At the same time, the driver will not be able to see clearly, and will subconsciously squint, blink, rub his eyes, etc., and it will take a few seconds to return to normal. These behavioral characteristics can be identified by image analysis, neural networks, etc. Combining the light intensity and the driver's facial expression, it is possible to more accurately identify whether the light is affected. For example, turning on the headlights and interior lights will also cause a large change in light intensity, but generally will not cause loss of vision. This embodiment can avoid misjudging these situations as light-affected situations.

[0067] Among them, light intensity and facial expressions can be captured by the camera inside the car.

[0068] As a possible implementation method, the emergency avoidance strategy corresponding to the loss of vision caused by light impact includes:

[0069] Get traffic information and the current navigation route of the navigation map;

[0070] According to the road condition information, the vehicle is controlled to travel along the current navigation route.

[0071] In this embodiment, when light influence occurs, radar and external cameras can be used to collect surrounding environment information, and EHP can be used to provide beyond-visual-range road shape and data information. The vehicle integrates driving path planning and lane-level navigation guidance to clarify the specific direction of the vehicle's operation, control the vehicle to travel along the current navigation route, avoid dangerous lane deviation, and avoid missing the highway exit.

[0072] As a possible implementation, after forcing the vehicle to be automatically driven according to the emergency avoidance strategy corresponding to the visual field loss situation of the type of light influence in step S102, the method further includes:

[0073] After the autonomous driving control time reaches a preset length of time, the driver's facial expression is detected;

[0074] Judging whether the driver's vision has been restored based on facial expressions;

[0075] If the driver's field of vision is restored, the current emergency avoidance strategy is exited.

[0076] In this embodiment, the control of the vehicle can be returned to the driver after 3-5 seconds if the driver's facial expression returns to normal. This application does not limit the preset time length.

[0077] As a possible implementation method, the vehicle auxiliary control method further includes:

[0078] Get the current location of the vehicle and the current navigation route of the navigation map;

[0079] Based on the current location and current navigation route, determine whether there is a light change scene within a preset distance in front of the vehicle;

[0080] If there is a light change scene within a preset distance in front of the vehicle, a light change prompt will be given, and a determination will be made as to whether the emergency avoidance strategy corresponding to the type of loss of vision caused by light is turned on. If not, the driver will be prompted to turn it on.

[0081] In this embodiment, during the operation of the vehicle, by obtaining the vehicle position information and combining it with the current navigation route of the navigation map, it can be determined whether there are light change scenes such as tunnel entrances and exits ahead. When a tunnel entrance and exit is detected within a preset distance ahead, the specific information of the tunnel entrance and exit is broadcast by voice, and the sensor parameters are monitored in real time. The user is prompted by voice that there is a risk of temporary loss of vision due to alternating light and dark, so as to warn the driver and prepare for it in advance. At the same time, it can also detect whether the corresponding emergency avoidance strategy is turned on. If it is not turned on, the driver is prompted by voice to turn it on. In this embodiment, a one-touch start button can be set on the steering wheel of the vehicle to quickly turn on the emergency avoidance strategy. In addition, after the driver's field of vision is restored and the emergency avoidance strategy is exited, a voice prompt is also required to the driver.

[0082] As a possible implementation manner, the type of field of view loss situation includes foreign object occlusion.

[0083] Methods for detecting whether a loss of vision due to foreign body occlusion occurs include:

[0084] Acquire a front windshield image of the vehicle, and determine whether there is a target obstruction on the front windshield of the vehicle according to the image, and if so, determine that the first condition is met;

[0085] Detecting the light intensity inside and outside the vehicle, calculating the difference between the light intensity inside and outside the vehicle, and determining whether the difference is greater than a second preset threshold, and if so, determining that the second condition is met;

[0086] Detect the driver's facial expressions and determine whether the driver is under the influence based on the facial expressions;

[0087] If the driver is affected and at least one of the first condition and the second condition is met, it is determined that a foreign object blocking situation occurs.

[0088] In this embodiment, the camera can be used to obtain the image of the front windshield, and compared with the image of the front windshield without foreign objects, and the presence of foreign objects can be determined based on the similarity. However, when the camera is covered, it may not be possible to obtain image information, so light intensity detection is added. When there is no foreign object on the front windshield, the difference in light intensity inside and outside the car will fluctuate within a small range. When the front windshield is covered by foreign objects, the difference in light intensity inside and outside the car will suddenly increase, thereby determining whether foreign objects may be blocked. In addition, combined with the detection of the driver's facial expression, the accuracy of the judgment can be further improved.

[0089] As a possible implementation method, the emergency avoidance strategies corresponding to the loss of vision due to foreign object occlusion include:

[0090] Get traffic information;

[0091] According to the traffic information, the vehicle is controlled to change lanes to the rightmost lane and stop.

[0092] In this embodiment, the intelligent driving assistance system is enabled, and the vehicle performs adaptive cruise control. When there are no vehicles around or the driving distance is safe, the vehicle uses ALC to change lanes to the right and slow down according to the planned path (lanes can be changed multiple times until the rightmost lane), and finally pulls over to the side of the road. After the vehicle is in a safe state, a voice broadcast prompts the user to exit the emergency avoidance strategy, and the driving right returns to the driver to avoid the driver losing vision and panicking in an emergency, causing an accident due to operational errors, and causing personal injury.

[0093] In combination with the above, this technical solution mainly provides the car owner with an effective emergency avoidance solution of intelligent assisted driving, automatic lane change, and side parking when the driver's vision is temporarily lost or there is no vision. Through the emergency avoidance solution, the automatic driving technology is used to put the vehicle in a safe state, protect the life safety of the driver and passengers, improve driving safety, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

[0094] It should be understood that the order of execution of the steps in the above embodiment does not necessarily mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0097] The risk avoidance module 22 is used to determine a corresponding emergency risk avoidance strategy according to the type of the vision loss situation if a vision loss situation occurs; different emergency risk avoidance strategies are preset for different types of vision loss situations; and according to the emergency risk avoidance strategy, the vehicle is forced to be automatically driven.

[0098] As a possible implementation, the type of view loss situation includes light effects.

[0099] The detection module 21 is specifically used for:

[0100] Detecting the light intensity inside and / or outside the vehicle, and determining whether there is a sudden light change based on the light intensity; wherein the sudden light change refers to a change in light intensity within a first preset time that is greater than a first preset threshold;

[0101] Detect the driver's facial expressions and determine whether the driver is under the influence based on the facial expressions;

[0102] If the light changes suddenly and the driver is affected, it is determined that a loss of vision of the type light impact has occurred.

[0103] As a possible implementation method, the emergency avoidance strategy corresponding to the loss of vision caused by light impact includes:

[0104] Get traffic information and the current navigation route of the navigation map;

[0105] According to the road condition information, the vehicle is controlled to travel along the current navigation route.

[0106] In a possible implementation, after forcing the vehicle to be automatically controlled according to the emergency avoidance strategy corresponding to the visual field loss situation of the type of light influence, the avoidance module 22 is further used to:

[0107] After the autonomous driving control time reaches a preset length of time, the driver's facial expression is detected;

[0108] Judging whether the driver's vision has been restored based on facial expressions;

[0109] If the driver's field of vision is restored, the current emergency avoidance strategy is exited.

[0110] As a possible implementation, the risk hedging module 22 is further used for:

[0111] Get the current location of the vehicle and the current navigation route of the navigation map;

[0112] Based on the current position and the current navigation route, determine whether there is a light change scene within a preset distance in front of the vehicle, and the light change scene includes the entrance and exit of the tunnel;

[0113] If there is a light change scene within a preset distance in front of the vehicle, a light change prompt will be given, and a determination will be made as to whether the emergency avoidance strategy corresponding to the type of loss of vision caused by light is turned on. If not, the driver will be prompted to turn it on.
