[0002] With the vigorous development of smart cars, smart cars are becoming more and more popular, and more and more smart vehicles are equipped with intelligent voice systems. Most of the existing smart car systems are awakened by voice, and the operation of the smart car systems is controlled by voice commands, such as controlling the opening of windows and doors after issuing commands to the car computer by voice. Although the intelligent voice wake-up control brings portability to the operation of the driver and passengers, this method also has certain safety hazards: when the driver and passengers are resting in the car and fall asleep, and the car computer is powered on, since the smart car is also equipped with a microphone array outside the car to collect audio signals, the outsiders can wake up the smart car system by voice outside the car, and issue voice control commands to open the windows or trunk by voice, and steal valuables in the car without the driver and passengers noticing when they are resting, or even more serious security incidents may occur.

[0003] In view of the above situation, the existing methods of preventing wake-up outside the vehicle are mostly through voiceprint feature recognition of the acquired voice signal outside the vehicle. For example, patent CN202310079028.8 proposes a vehicle wake-up method and device, electronic equipment and storage medium. The corresponding voice wake-up operation will be performed only when the recognized voiceprint feature is consistent with the pre-stored voiceprint signal feature. However, the existing voiceprint recognition and matching technology is immature and has low recognition accuracy, which can easily lead to external strangers achieving voice wake-up outside the vehicle through simple imitation, etc., and there is still a high safety hazard.

[0023] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary only, are intended to describe specific embodiments, are intended to provide further explanation of the present invention, and are not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. In addition, it should also be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] For vehicles with voice intelligent wake-up smart car machine, in order to avoid theft caused by people outside the car waking up the smart car machine by voice while the driver and passengers are resting in the car to open the car window or trunk, this embodiment proposes a voice wake-up method for preventing the car machine from being stolen when the passengers are resting in the car. Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0026] Set the interval time period, and check the power status of the vehicle computer after each interval time period;

[0027] When the detection vehicle computer is powered, multiple vital signs monitoring signals in the vehicle are obtained to determine whether there are passengers in the vehicle; conversely, when the detection vehicle computer is not powered, the detection is performed at the next moment after the interval time period;

[0028] When it is determined that there are passengers in the car, continue to determine the status of the passengers in the car; if it is determined that the passengers in the car are in a resting state, turn off the current car voice wake-up function; if it is determined that the passengers in the car are in an active state, keep the current car voice wake-up function turned on.

[0029] The following content introduces in more detail the anti-vehicle machine voice wake-up method suitable for people in the car to rest proposed in this embodiment.

[0030] Step S1, set an interval time period, and detect the power status of the vehicle computer after each interval time period. If the vehicle computer is detected to be powered, execute the following step S3; if the vehicle computer is detected to be unpowered, execute the following step S2.

[0031] Step S2: When the vehicle computer is not powered, the next detection is performed after the set interval time period. Since the voice wake-up function cannot be turned on when the vehicle computer is not powered, no processing or adjustment is required at this time, and people outside the vehicle cannot use voice to wake up the vehicle computer to control the vehicle body. In addition, under normal circumstances, the interval time period of the detection is very short, usually in microseconds, and the interval time period does not affect the safety detection and safety of the vehicle.

[0032] Step S3: When the vehicle computer is detected to be powered, multiple vital signs monitoring signals in the vehicle are obtained to determine whether there are passengers in the vehicle. Further, if it is determined that there are passengers in the vehicle, step S4 is executed; otherwise, if it is determined that there are no passengers in the vehicle, the process ends directly, and the voice wake-up function of the vehicle computer is turned off.

[0033] Specifically, the above vital signs monitoring signals include pressure signals of all seats and backrests in the car, infrared signals of the interior space, visible light image data of the interior space, and human-computer interaction signals in the car, etc., wherein the human-computer interaction signals in the car include steering wheel pressure signals, car screen touch screen signals, etc. The above multiple data signals are obtained through multiple pressure sensors, infrared data meters, cameras, capacitive touch sensors, etc. Among them, multiple pressure sensors are respectively arranged inside each seat and backrest in the car, for obtaining pressure signals of each seat and backrest; infrared data meters and cameras are arranged at the position of the interior lighting or the position of the interior rearview mirror, for respectively obtaining infrared signals of the interior space and visible light image data of the interior space, so as to facilitate the acquisition of global signals or data in the car; pressure sensors are also arranged around the steering wheel to obtain steering wheel pressure signals; capacitive touch sensors are arranged under the car screen to obtain car screen touch screen signals.

[0034] In this embodiment, after obtaining the pressure signals of all seats and backrests in the car at the current moment, the infrared signals of the interior space, the visible light image data of the interior space, the steering wheel pressure signals, and the touch screen signals of the car computer screen, a judgment is made based on the various data signals obtained to determine whether there are any drivers or passengers in the car.

[0035] Furthermore, according to the multiple data signals obtained above, judgment is made. When any one of the data signals meets the preset conditions, it is judged that there are drivers and passengers in the car; conversely, when multiple data signals do not meet the preset conditions, it is judged that there are no drivers and passengers in the car. Among them, the preset conditions include: the pressure signal of any seat and backrest in the car exceeds the preset pressure threshold, there is a human body heat area in the infrared signal of the interior space, there is a human body area in the visible light image data of the interior space, the steering wheel pressure signal in the car exceeds the preset pressure value, and the car touch screen senses a touch signal. In the above conditions, the pressure threshold, pressure value, human body heat area, and human body area are all pre-set according to actual conditions. The pressure threshold and pressure value are specific data. The human body heat area is an area that conforms to the human body heat area and distribution. The human body area is an area with specific human body characteristics.

[0036] Specifically, the above-mentioned determination of whether the acquired data signal meets the preset condition includes:

[0037] (1) Comparing the pressure signals of all seats and backrests in the vehicle with a preset pressure threshold, if the pressure of any seat or backrest exceeds the preset pressure threshold, it is determined that there is a driver or passenger in the vehicle;

[0038] (2) Based on the infrared signal of the vehicle interior, the heat distribution is judged. If there is a human body heat area, it is judged that there are passengers in the vehicle;

[0039] (3) Based on the visible light image of the interior space of the vehicle, a pre-trained existing detection model is used to perform image processing and recognition. If a human body area is found in the recognized image, it is determined that there are passengers in the vehicle;

[0040] (4) comparing the steering wheel pressure signal with a preset pressure value, and if the steering wheel pressure exceeds the preset pressure value, determining that there is a driver or passenger in the vehicle;

[0041] (5) Based on the touch signal sensed by the vehicle computer touch screen, if a touch signal on the vehicle computer touch screen is sensed, it is determined that there is a driver or passenger in the vehicle.

[0042] When it is determined that the multiple vital sign monitoring signals meet any of the above preset conditions, it is considered that there is a driver or passenger in the vehicle, and the next step S4 is executed; otherwise, it is considered that there is no driver or passenger in the vehicle.

[0043] Step S4: When it is determined that there are passengers in the vehicle, continue to determine the status of the passengers in the vehicle.

[0044] Specifically, the state judgment method is:

[0045] Obtain the in-vehicle image data within a set time period through the camera;

[0046] Based on multiple continuous frames of in-vehicle images in the in-vehicle image data, the existing image processing and recognition algorithms are used to identify the driver and passengers and their eye areas in each image;

[0047] The state of the driver and occupant is judged based on the identified position and posture changes of the driver and occupant in the vehicle, as well as the identified state of the driver and occupant's eye area; wherein, when the position or posture of the driver and occupant in the vehicle changes in any two consecutive frame images, or the driver and occupant's eye area is open in any two consecutive frame images, it is judged that the driver and occupant in the vehicle is in an active state; otherwise, it is judged that the driver and occupant in the vehicle is in a resting state.

[0048] Furthermore, if it is determined that the driver and passengers in the car are in a resting state, the current car computer voice wake-up function will be turned off to avoid theft caused by people outside the car waking up the smart car computer by voice to open the window or trunk when the driver and passengers are resting in the car; if it is determined that the driver and passengers in the car are in an active state, the current car computer voice wake-up function will remain turned on.

[0049] As another implementation method, when it is determined that the driver and passengers in the car are in an active state, while keeping the current car computer voice wake-up function turned on, the vital signs data of the driver and passengers are monitored and obtained, such as monitoring human body temperature data through an infrared data meter, or monitoring human heart rate data through wearable monitoring devices, and finally uploading the monitoring data to the cloud server for subsequent data processing and application.
