[0051] Figure 1 A flow chart of a vehicle seat control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0052] S10: Obtaining predicted road condition information and predicted driving time of the planned target driving route;

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the vehicle navigation system performs path planning based on the user's departure and destination to obtain the optimal driving path, and uses the optimal path as the target driving path to be traveled. That is, the current location information of the vehicle and the destination information are obtained based on positioning technologies such as GPS, so as to plan the optimal target driving path. After determining the target driving path, the road conditions on the target driving path are predicted, and the estimated time it will take for the vehicle to travel on the target driving path is predicted, so as to obtain predicted road condition information and predicted driving time.

[0054] Furthermore, the predicted road condition information and predicted driving time of the planned target driving route are obtained through step S10.

[0055] It should be noted that the execution subject of the vehicle seat control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be a vehicle controller or a domain controller, and the present application does not limit this. In addition, the vehicles provided in the present application include but are not limited to sedans, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), off-road vehicles, pickup trucks, or other power-driven non-track-borne vehicles.

[0056] S11: formulating a massage plan for the seat when the vehicle is traveling on a target driving path according to the predicted road condition information and the predicted driving time;

[0057] Further, in step S11, a massage plan for the seat when the vehicle is traveling on the target driving path is specified according to the predicted road condition information and the predicted driving duration of the target driving path. In some optional embodiments, specifying the massage plan includes specifying the start time and massage duration of the seat massage.

[0058] It is understandable that the longer the driver drives and the more complex the road conditions, the higher the driver's fatigue level, and the more frequent the need for seat massage to relieve fatigue, and the longer the massage time. Therefore, when specifying a seat massage planning scheme, it is necessary to first predict the road conditions and driving time of the target driving route.

[0059] Furthermore, a massage planning scheme is specified based on the predicted road condition information and the predicted driving time. Specifically, in an optional embodiment, when the predicted road condition is more complex, for example, there are more congested sections, the driver's driving fatigue is higher, so seat massage can be activated under special road conditions to relieve the driver's fatigue.

[0060] In another optional embodiment, as the driving time increases, the driver's driving fatigue becomes higher. Therefore, it is necessary to start the seat massage more frequently and increase the massage time as the driving time continues to increase, so as to effectively relieve the driver's fatigue.

[0061] S12: When the vehicle is traveling on the target driving path, current road condition information is collected in real time;

[0062] S13: Controlling the seat to perform massage according to the current road condition information and the massage plan.

[0063] It is understandable that during the actual driving process of the vehicle, the road conditions are ever-changing, so the actual driving time will also change accordingly. Therefore, in a specific embodiment, the seat massage needs to be adjusted in combination with the actual road conditions.

[0064] Specifically, when the vehicle is traveling on the target driving path, the current road condition information is collected in real time through step S12, wherein the road condition information may include but is not limited to road congestion, road surface flatness, the number of drivable lanes, and road lighting conditions.

[0065] After obtaining the current road condition information of the vehicle, the seat is automatically massaged according to the current road condition information and the massage plan in step S13. In an optional embodiment, if the road section corresponding to the current road condition information is not the road section where the seat needs to be started for massage in the massage plan, but the current road condition information meets the preset conditions, the seat is still controlled for massage. The preset condition information may be that the road section is congested and the current vehicle speed is less than the preset vehicle speed.

[0066] In another optional embodiment, if the road section corresponding to the current road condition information is a road section where the seat needs to be started for massage in the massage planning scheme, but the current road condition information indicates that seat massage under the current road condition will affect driving safety, the seat massage control of the current road section is canceled. If the current road condition information indicates that the current road condition is safe and massage can be performed, the seat is controlled to perform massage based on the start time and massage duration planned in the massage planning scheme.

[0067] In fact, it is understandable that different road conditions have different requirements on the driver's driving concentration, and thus have different impacts on driving safety. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, it can be determined whether to control the seat massage according to the impact of the road conditions on the driver's driving concentration.

[0068] Specifically, if the road section corresponding to the current road condition information is a road section where the seat needs to be started for massage in the massage planning scheme, in an optional embodiment, the concentration of the driver's driving concentration in the current driving section is determined according to the road condition information, and when the concentration is less than a threshold, the seat is controlled to perform massage based on the start time and massage duration planned in the massage planning scheme. When the concentration is not less than the threshold, the seat massage of the current road section in the massage planning scheme is canceled.

[0069] Therefore, the vehicle seat control method provided in the embodiment of the present application plans the massage time of the vehicle seat according to the road condition information and driving time of the vehicle's target driving route, and during the actual driving process, automatically adjusts and controls the seat according to the actual driving conditions and the pre-planned massage planning scheme, so as to relieve driver fatigue in time and improve vehicle driving comfort and driver experience.

[0070] Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for controlling a vehicle seat provided in another embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, according to the predicted road condition information and the predicted driving time, a massage planning scheme for the seat is formulated when the vehicle is driving on the target driving path, including:

[0071] S20: Determine whether the predicted road condition information meets the high-quality road condition condition. If so, proceed to step S21; if not, proceed to step S22;

[0072] In a specific embodiment, when formulating a massage planning scheme based on the predicted road condition information and the predicted driving time, step S20 is first used to determine whether the predicted road condition information meets the high-quality road condition condition.

[0073] It is understandable that when the road conditions are good, the driver's concentration on driving is relatively low, and the driving environment is relatively safe. At this time, the seat can be activated to massage the driver to relieve driving fatigue. When the road conditions are complex and changeable, the driver's concentration on driving is relatively high, and safe driving is the primary consideration. At this time, it is not appropriate to activate the seat massage to distract the driver. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, when formulating a massage planning scheme, it is necessary to first determine whether the predicted road conditions are good road conditions.

[0074] Among them, high-quality road conditions may include but are not limited to flat road surface, smooth road (i.e., no congestion), wide road, good road lighting, no mountain road sections, and many straight road sections. Correspondingly, high-quality road conditions may include but are not limited to road surface flatness greater than a flatness threshold, road smoothness greater than a smoothness threshold, road width greater than a width threshold, road lighting brightness reaching a brightness threshold, straight driving length greater than a length threshold, and the number of target straight road sections with straight driving length greater than the length threshold greater than a number threshold.

[0075] In an optional embodiment, whether the predicted road condition information meets the high-quality road condition conditions can be determined by at least one of the following methods: collecting point cloud data by a vehicle lidar, and analyzing the point cloud data to determine whether the high-quality road condition conditions are met; collecting infrared data by a vehicle infrared scanner, and analyzing the infrared data to determine whether the high-quality road condition conditions are met; collecting video images by a camera, and analyzing the collected video images to determine whether the high-quality road condition conditions are met.

[0076] S21: Formulate a massage plan based on the predicted driving time;

[0077] S22: extracting a designated road section from the target driving route; and using the designated road section as the road section for controlling the seat massage; the designated road section includes at least one of a road section with a congestion duration greater than a preset duration, a road section with a flat road surface, and a road section with a straight-line driving mileage greater than a preset mileage.

[0078] When the predicted road condition information meets the high-quality road condition conditions, it indicates that the target driving path has good road conditions and a high driving safety factor. At this time, a massage planning scheme can be formulated through step S21, that is, a massage planning scheme is formulated according to the predicted driving time.

[0079] When the predicted road condition information does not meet the high-quality road condition condition, it indicates that the road condition of the target driving path is bad, and a massage planning scheme needs to be specified based on the predicted road condition information. In other words, when the road condition is bad, it is necessary to find a section of the target driving path where seat massage can be performed. Specifically, a specified section is extracted from the target driving path, and the specified section is used as a section for controlling seat massage.

[0080] The designated road section includes at least one of a road section with a congestion duration greater than a preset duration, a road section with a flat road surface, and a road section with a straight-line driving mileage greater than a preset mileage. The flat road section is a road section with a road surface flatness greater than a flatness threshold.

[0081] In fact, the designated road section is a road section with relatively low requirements for the driver's concentration. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, the road section's concentration requirements for the driver's concentration can also be determined based on the predicted road condition information, and the road section with a concentration less than a threshold can be used as the designated road section, that is, the road section with a concentration less than a threshold can be used as the section for controlling seat massage.

[0082] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a massage planning scheme is formulated based on the predicted driving time, including:

[0083] S210: Segmenting the predicted driving time to obtain a plurality of massage start times of the seat; wherein the time between adjacent massage start times decreases in chronological order;

[0084] In a specific embodiment, when the predicted road condition information indicates that the road condition of the currently planned target driving path is good, a massage planning scheme can be formulated based on the predicted driving time. Specifically, it can be understood that although the road condition is good, as the driving time continues to increase, the driver's fatigue level increases, and the demand for seat massage increases.

[0085] Therefore, in an optional embodiment, the predicted driving time is divided into multiple massage start times of the seat in step S210, and the division is performed in a time sequence (i.e., the chronological order of time occurrence) with the duration between adjacent massage start times decreasing. That is, in time sequence, as the driving time increases, the frequency of seat massage increases, so that the driver's fatigue can be relieved in time through seat massage.

[0086] In an optional embodiment, if the predicted driving time is P and the remaining driving time is O, where O≤P, the start of the seat massage is divided into n stages, that is, n massage start times are set, n is a natural number greater than 0, and the massage start time is A(n), then A(n) satisfies the calculation formula: A(n)=A(n-1)+[A(n-1)-n / 10]. Among them, A(1) is the initial value, that is, the initial value of the first seat massage, the initial value is a preset value, and the preset value can be set according to the experience value, or it can be set according to the user's historical massage preferences, which is not limited in this application. In addition, it is worth noting that the number of massage start times n is related to the predicted driving time P and the initial value A(1). For ease of understanding, an example will be given below.

[0087] For example, if the predicted driving time P = 20 hours and A(1) = 4 hours, the first stage of seat massage is started, that is, the first massage starts after the vehicle has been driving for 4 hours, that is, A(1) = 4 hours. The second stage is: A(2) = A(1) + [A(1) - 2 / 10] = 7.8 hours, that is, the second massage starts after the vehicle has been driving for 7.8 hours. The third stage is: A(3) = A(2) + [A(2) - 3 / 10] = 11.3 hours, that is, the second massage starts after the vehicle has been driving for 11.3 hours. The fourth stage is: A(4) = A(3) + [A(3) - 4 / 10] = 14.4 hours, that is, the fourth massage starts after the vehicle has been driving for 14.4 hours. The fifth stage is: A(5) = A(4) + [A(4) - 5 / 10] = 17 hours, that is, the fifth massage starts after the vehicle has been driving for 17 hours. The sixth stage is: A(6)=A(5)+[A(5)-6 / 10]=19 hours, that is, the sixth massage start time is after the vehicle has been running for 17 hours.

[0088] Therefore, when the predicted driving time P is 20 hours, the massage start time is 4 hours after the vehicle has traveled, 7.8 hours after driving, 11.3 hours after driving, 14.4 hours after driving, 17 hours after driving, and 19 hours after driving. The time intervals between adjacent massage start times are 3.8 hours, 3.5 hours, 3.1 hours, 2.6 hours, and 2 hours, respectively. That is, the time intervals between adjacent massage start times decrease, that is, the frequency of massaging the driver to relieve fatigue is getting higher and higher.

[0089] S211: Setting different massage durations corresponding to each massage start time; wherein each massage duration increases in chronological order, and the massage duration is shorter than the duration between adjacent massage start times.

[0090] Further, after the predicted driving time is divided into multiple massage start times through step S210, different massage times are set correspondingly from different massage start times through step S211. It can be understood that as the driving time continues to increase, the higher the driver's fatigue, the higher the demand for massage time. Therefore, in a specific embodiment, when setting the massage time of different stages, the massage time increases in chronological order, and the massage time is less than the time between adjacent massage start times.

[0091] That is to say, as the driver's driving time increases, the time for each seat massage will be longer. For example, the first massage is 10 minutes, the second is 12 minutes, and the third is 15 minutes. The massage time is continuously increased until the end of the trip.

[0092] It should be noted that the massage duration is less than the duration between adjacent massage start times. For example, the first massage is 4 hours later and the second massage is 5.8 hours later. The duration between adjacent massage start times is 5.8-4=1.8 hours. The first massage is 4 hours later and the massage duration is less than 1.8 hours.

[0093] In addition, it should be noted that when setting the massage duration, the massage duration may be increased once for each incremental massage start time, and the increased duration is the same. It may also be increased once for each incremental massage start time, and the increased duration is different. It may also be increased once for each incremental two massage start times, and the increased duration is the same. This application does not specifically limit the increase method of the massage duration.

[0094] In an optional embodiment, according to the current road condition information and the massage planning scheme, the seat is controlled to perform massage, including:

[0095] Determine whether the current driving section is a section corresponding to the section for controlling the seat to perform massage in the massage planning scheme;

[0096] If yes, the seat is controlled to perform massage based on the massage planning scheme;

[0097] If not, when the current road condition information meets the preset conditions, the seat is controlled to perform massage and a new massage plan is formulated; wherein the preset conditions include at least one of the first condition and the second condition; the first condition includes that the road surface is flat and the number of other traffic participants except the vehicle is less than the preset number; the second condition includes that the current driving section is a congested section and the vehicle speed is less than the preset speed.

[0098] In an optional embodiment, when controlling the seat for massage based on current road condition information and a massage plan, first, it is necessary to determine whether the road section on which the vehicle is currently traveling is a corresponding road section in a pre-established massage plan, that is, to determine whether the current driving section is a road section to be massaged in the massage plan.

[0099] Among them, the current driving section refers to the section corresponding to the current road condition information conditions that the vehicle can collect during driving. For example, a laser radar can scan the section within the obstacle range, or a vehicle camera can collect the section within the video image range in the direction of travel.

[0100] It is understandable that if the current driving section is the section corresponding to the section for controlling the seat to perform massage in the massage plan, that is, there is a section to be massaged in the massage plan on the current driving section, then the seat is controlled to perform massage based on the massage plan. In other words, if the current driving section has a preset massage start time, the massage can be performed according to the preset plan.

[0101] In an optional embodiment, if the current driving section is not the section corresponding to the section for controlling the seat to perform massage in the massage planning scheme, it is necessary to determine whether the massage can be started according to the road conditions of the current driving section. Specifically, it is determined whether the current road condition information satisfies at least one of the first condition and the second condition. If it does, it indicates that the current road condition has a high safety factor and the seat can be started for massage. If it does not, it indicates that the current road condition has a low safety factor and the driver needs to concentrate on driving. At this time, it is not appropriate to start the seat massage.

[0102] Among them, the first condition includes a flat road surface and the number of traffic participants other than vehicles is less than a preset number. It should be noted that, in an optional embodiment, the flatness of the road surface can be determined by analyzing data collected by an infrared scanner or a lidar, and the number of other traffic participants can be determined by video images collected by the vehicle camera.

[0103] The second condition includes that the current driving section is a congested section and the vehicle speed is less than the preset speed. It is understandable that when the vehicle is driving on a congested section and the current speed is low, the driving environment is relatively safe and the driver fatigue level is high in the congested section. At this time, in order to relieve the driver fatigue and boredom of the congested section, the seat can be activated for massage.

[0104] In an optional embodiment, the current driving section is not the section corresponding to the massage planning scheme for controlling the seat for massage, and after determining that the massage can be started based on the road conditions of the current driving section, a new massage planning scheme is formulated based on the massage end time.

[0105] Based on the above embodiment, as an optional embodiment, a new massage planning scheme is formulated, including:

[0106] Determine the remaining road condition information and remaining driving time corresponding to the remaining untraveled paths;

[0107] Determine whether the remaining road condition information meets the high-quality road condition conditions;

[0108] If satisfied, the remaining driving time is divided to formulate a new massage plan;

[0109] If not, the target section is extracted from the remaining untraveled paths to formulate a new massage planning scheme.

[0110] In a specific embodiment, when formulating a new massage plan, the remaining road condition information and remaining driving time corresponding to the remaining untraveled path of the vehicle starting from the current massage end time are first determined based on the navigation information. And it is determined whether the remaining road condition information meets the high-quality road condition conditions. Similarly, high-quality road conditions may include but are not limited to flat road surface, smooth road (i.e., no congestion), wide road, good road lighting, no mountain road sections, and many straight road sections.

[0111] It is understandable that when the remaining road condition information meets the high-quality road condition, the road condition represents that the driver has a relatively low requirement for concentrating on driving, and the driving environment is relatively safe. Therefore, the remaining driving time can be divided to obtain multiple massage start times for the seat, and different massage times can be set correspondingly from each massage start time, so as to formulate a new massage planning scheme.

[0112] It should be noted that the principles of dividing the remaining driving time and setting the massage time in the present application are the same as those of the above-mentioned embodiments, that is, in chronological order, the time between adjacent massage start times decreases, while the time of each massage increases, and the massage time is less than the time between adjacent massage start times.

[0113] It is worth noting that before determining whether the remaining road condition information meets the high-quality road condition conditions, the vehicle seat control method also includes: determining whether the remaining driving time is greater than the time threshold, if so, entering the step of determining whether the remaining road condition information meets the high-quality road condition conditions, and executing subsequent steps, otherwise, ending.

[0114] It is understandable that if the remaining driving time of the vehicle is too short, that is, the remaining mileage is too short, in order to avoid wasting resources, the massage planning scheme may not be re-formulated and updated.

[0115] In an optional embodiment, when the remaining road condition information does not meet the high-quality road condition conditions, the road condition of the remaining untraveled path is poor, and it is necessary to extract the target section, and use the extracted target section as the section for controlling the seat massage, thereby formulating a new massage planning plan.

[0116] The target road section includes at least one of a road section with a congestion duration greater than a preset duration, a road section with a flat road surface, and a road section with a straight-line driving mileage greater than a preset mileage. It is worth noting that the flat road section is a road section with a road surface flatness greater than a flatness threshold.

[0117] It should be noted that when determining the target road section, the degree of concentrated driving experience of the road section for the driver can also be determined, and the road section with a concentration less than a threshold is used as the target road section, that is, the road section with a concentration less than the threshold is used as the road section for controlling seat massage. This application does not limit the method of extracting the target road section.

[0119] S30: Obtaining massage mode influencing parameters including at least one of a historical massage mode recommendation strategy, a driver fatigue state, and a historical massage preference parameter; wherein the historical massage mode recommendation strategy includes at least one of a correspondence between different driving sections and massage parameters, and a correspondence between different driving conditions and massage parameters;

[0120] In a specific embodiment, when formulating a seat massage planning scheme, the current road condition information during real-time driving of the vehicle, as well as the predicted road condition information and predicted driving time of the planned target driving route are taken into consideration. When starting the seat for massage, it is necessary to determine the target massage mode of the current massage, that is, determine the intensity and technique of the current massage.

[0121] The determination of the target massage mode is related to massage mode influencing parameters, wherein the massage mode influencing parameters include at least one of historical massage mode recommendation strategies, driver fatigue status, and historical massage preference parameters.

[0122] It is understandable that if the target driving route is a historical driving route, the database will store a historical massage mode recommendation strategy, which includes at least one of the correspondence between different driving sections and massage parameters and the correspondence between different driving conditions and massage parameters, wherein the massage parameters include massage parts, massage intensity, massage techniques and seat parameters, etc. The seat parameters include backrest tilt angle, seat height and horizontal distance between the seat and the steering wheel. The target massage mode of the current seat to be massaged can be determined based on the historical massage mode recommendation strategy.

[0123] In addition, the current driver's driving fatigue state is also closely related to the target massage mode. Therefore, when determining the target massage mode, the driver's fatigue state needs to be considered. Of course, during vehicle driving, the driver can set his or her preferred massage mode through voice settings, manual adjustment, and other different methods. Therefore, when determining the target massage mode, it can also be determined based on historical massage preference parameters.

[0124] S31: Determine a target massage mode according to massage mode influencing parameters;

[0125] S32: Control the seat to enter a target massage mode.

[0126] After obtaining the massage mode influencing parameters through step S30, the target massage mode is determined according to the massage mode influencing parameters. In an optional embodiment, when determining the target massage mode, different weight coefficients can be set for different massage mode influencing parameters, and the parameters, intensity and techniques of the chair can be determined based on the different weight coefficients.

[0127] Further, the seat is controlled to enter a target massage mode, that is, the seat is started to perform massage according to the massage part, massage intensity, massage technique and seat parameter settings corresponding to the target massage mode.

[0128] It should be noted that the massage modes can be classified according to different massage parts, according to the massage intensity, or according to the massage technique. This application does not limit the classification method of massage modes.

[0129] Therefore, when it is determined that the road section is safe and suitable for seat massage based on the current road condition information and the massage planning scheme, seat massage is performed based on at least one of the historical massage mode recommendation strategies, the driver's fatigue status and the historical massage preference parameters. While ensuring safe driving, the driver is provided with the optimal massage plan, thereby effectively alleviating driving fatigue and improving the driving experience.

[0130] In an optional embodiment, the vehicle seat control method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0131] Storing the driving information corresponding to the vehicle driving on the target driving path and the actual massage parameters of the seat;

[0132] Based on driving information and actual seat massage parameters, the historical massage mode recommendation strategy is optimized.

[0133] During vehicle driving, the corresponding driving information and actual massage parameters of the seat when driving on the target driving path are stored in real time, and the collected driving information and actual massage parameters of the seat are used to optimize the historical massage mode recommendation strategy through a machine learning algorithm.

[0134] It is understandable that during the driving process, the seat massage will be adjusted in real time according to the actual road conditions, driver fatigue status and driver's seat massage preferences. In the continuous driving process of the vehicle, the historical massage mode recommendation strategy is continuously optimized based on driving information and actual seat massage parameters, so as to provide reliable massage mode recommendations for the vehicle in the future, ensuring the most comfortable massage for the driver under different road conditions.

[0135] In an optional embodiment, the vehicle seat control method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes:

[0136] When driver fatigue information is collected, and the driver fatigue information indicates that the driver is in at least one of a severe fatigue state and a sleep state, the seat is controlled to enter a prompt massage mode corresponding to fatigue driving;

[0137] When the ambient temperature is collected and is lower than the preset temperature, the seat heating is controlled;

[0138] When the driver's body information is collected, before the vehicle is powered on and starts driving, the seat parameters are adjusted according to the driver's body information; wherein the seat parameters include the backrest angle, the seat height and the horizontal distance between the seat and the steering wheel.

[0139] In a specific embodiment, the vehicle collects driver fatigue information in real time, and determines whether the driver is currently in at least one of severe fatigue and sleep state based on the collected fatigue information. If so, the seat is controlled to enter a prompt massage mode corresponding to fatigue driving, so as to remind the user to pull over and rest in time, thereby improving driving safety.

[0140] Among them, prompting the massage mode may be to control the vibration of the seat and send a signal to the vehicle system to output a corresponding prompt. Collecting the driver's fatigue information may be to collect the driver's video image through the vehicle camera and analyze the video image.

[0141] In an optional embodiment, the vehicle can also collect the ambient temperature in real time, where the ambient temperature includes the vehicle's indoor temperature and the vehicle's outdoor temperature. When the ambient temperature is lower than a preset temperature, the seat is controlled to be heated to provide the driver with a comfortable driving environment.

[0142] In another optional embodiment, when the vehicle is powered on, the driver's body information can be collected, where the body information includes weight, gender, height, etc. Pressure sensors can be set under the seat and on the backrest to determine the driver's weight and height based on the pressure data collected by the pressure sensors. Furthermore, the driver's height and gender can be further determined based on the images captured by the vehicle's camera.

[0143] Furthermore, after determining the driver's body information, before the vehicle is powered on and starts driving, the seat back angle, seat height and horizontal distance between the seat and the steering wheel are adjusted according to the driver's body information, thereby ensuring that the seat adapts to the driver's body shape and provides the most comfortable initial posture.

[0144] In the above-mentioned embodiments, the control method of the vehicle seat is described in detail. The present application also provides a corresponding embodiment of a control device for a vehicle seat.
