[0032] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0033] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying 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 the features.

[0034] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of a method for controlling an engine hood provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0035] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the method 100 includes:

[0036] Step 101, obtaining location data of a target entity;

[0037] Step 102, judging whether the target entity is in the engine compartment according to the position data of the target entity;

[0038] Step 103: If it is determined that the target entity is in the engine compartment, the engine hood of the engine compartment is controlled to remain in an open state.

[0039] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the target entity's location data is obtained; based on the target entity's location data, it is determined whether the target entity is in the engine compartment; when it is determined that the target entity is in the engine compartment, the engine hood of the engine compartment is controlled to remain open. When the target entity is detected in the engine compartment, the engine hood is controlled not to be closed, so as to avoid the situation where the user accidentally places the target entity in the engine compartment after the engine compartment is opened and forgets to close the engine hood, thus locking the target entity in the engine compartment and making it impossible to find or take out the target entity, thereby improving the user's car experience.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the execution subject vehicle is taken as an example. Figure 1 The specific implementation methods of each step in the embodiment shown are described as follows:

[0041] In step 101 , the running state of the vehicle may be detected first, and when the running state of the vehicle is a start state and the engine hood of the vehicle is open, the location data of the target entity may be acquired.

[0042] In some embodiments, it is also necessary to obtain the current gear position of the vehicle. After determining that the current gear position of the vehicle is in the P gear, the location data of the target entity is obtained.

[0043] The target entity may be a target entity whose location data can be obtained by the vehicle, for example, it may be a portable electronic device connected to the vehicle. The portable electronic device may be a user terminal such as a mobile phone, tablet, smart watch, smart bracelet, or a vehicle key.

[0044] The target entity and the vehicle may be connected wirelessly, so that the vehicle can obtain the location data of the target entity based on the wireless connection with the target entity. The target entity and the vehicle may be connected via Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) or Bluetooth, and when the user authorizes the target entity to be located, the vehicle may locate the target entity via WiFi or Bluetooth to obtain the location data of the target entity.

[0045] For example, when the target entity is a vehicle key, the key may be a remote control key that can be wirelessly sensed by the vehicle. The vehicle can obtain the location data of the key through wireless sensing. In the embodiment of the present application, the target entity is mainly described as a vehicle key.

[0046] In step 102, the vehicle interior area can be divided into multiple grids and marked using a preset vehicle coordinate system, and the position data of the key sensed by the vehicle can be mapped to the corresponding grid. Based on whether the grid mapped by the key is a grid of the engine compartment area, it can be determined whether the key is located in the engine compartment.

[0047] Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of an engine hood control system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The engine hood control method in this embodiment can be applied to the engine hood control system.

[0048] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the system 200 includes: a body domain control unit 201, a hood control unit 202, a voice system 203, a display system 204, and a light system 205. The execution subject in this embodiment can be the body domain control unit 201 in the vehicle, and the body domain control unit 201 sends a control instruction to the hood control unit 202 to control the opening and closing of the hood. The body domain control unit 201 can control the voice system 203 to perform functions such as voice broadcasting and music playback, and the body domain control unit 201 can also control the display system 204 and the light system 205 to achieve corresponding functions.

[0049] In step 103, when it is determined that the grid mapped by the key is a grid located in the engine compartment area, it is determined that the key is located in the engine compartment. After determining that the key is located in the engine compartment, the body domain control unit 201 in the vehicle sends a control instruction for keeping the engine hood open to the engine hood control unit 202, and the engine hood control unit 202 receives the control instruction and controls the engine hood to remain open according to the control instruction.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the engine compartment includes a left compartment and a right compartment, and the engine hood includes a left compartment and a right compartment. If it is determined that the target entity is in the engine compartment, the engine hood of the engine compartment is controlled to remain open, including: if it is determined that the target entity is in the left compartment of the engine compartment, the left hood of the left compartment is controlled to remain open; if it is determined that the target entity is in the right compartment of the engine compartment, the right hood of the right compartment is controlled to remain open.

[0051] Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of a butterfly-opening engine hood provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0052] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle 30 includes a left cabin 301 , a left hood 302 , a right cabin 303 , and a right hood 304 .

[0053] It should be understood that when the user is using the vehicle, the engine needs to be inspected or repaired. When the user repairs or inspects the engine, the engine hood needs to be opened to perform related operations. When the engine hood of the vehicle is a butterfly-shaped engine hood, it needs to be opened. Figure 3 A left side hood 302 and a right side hood 304 are shown.

[0054] In some embodiments, the user can also control only one side of the hood to open. For example, when the user wants to check the left side of the engine compartment, only the left side of the hood can be controlled to open. Assume that the user opens the hood through the central control screen. Exemplarily, the central control screen of the vehicle may include multiple option buttons for controlling the engine hood, such as "open both sides of the hood", "open the left side of the hood", "open the right side of the hood" and other opening buttons. The user clicks the "open the left side of the hood" button to realize the function of opening the left side of the hood. Specifically, after the user clicks the "open the left side of the hood" button, the host module of the vehicle transmits the opening request information to the body domain controller 201, and the body domain controller 201 obtains the control instruction to open the left side of the hood according to the opening request information, and sends the control instruction to open the left side of the hood to the hood controller 202, and the hood controller 202 realizes the opening of the left side of the hood according to the control instruction. When the user wants to check the right side of the engine compartment, only the right side of the hood can be controlled to open. The opening process is the same as the opening step of the left side of the hood, which will not be repeated here.

[0055] The engine compartment can be divided into a left engine compartment 301 and a right engine compartment 303 by taking the central axis MN of the butterfly-opened engine hood as the boundary. As in the above embodiment, it can be determined whether the target entity is located in the right engine compartment or the left engine compartment by judging whether the target entity is located in the right area or the left area of ​​the central axis MN of the key-mapped grid area engine hood.

[0056] When it is determined that the key is located in the left engine compartment, the body domain control unit 201 in the vehicle sends a control instruction to keep the left engine hood open to the engine hood control unit 202. The engine hood control unit 202 receives the control instruction and controls the left engine hood 302 to remain open according to the control instruction.

[0057] When it is determined that the target entity is located in the right engine compartment, the body domain control unit 201 in the vehicle sends a control instruction to keep the right engine compartment open to the engine compartment control unit 202. The engine compartment control unit 202 receives the control instruction and controls the right engine compartment 304 of the engine compartment to remain open according to the control instruction.

[0058] Through the above method, when the engine compartment includes a left compartment and a right compartment, and the engine hood includes a left hood and a right hood, the hood of the compartment where the target entity is located can be accurately controlled to remain open according to the position of the target entity, so as to facilitate the user to take out the target entity later.

[0059] In one possible implementation, after controlling the engine hood of the engine compartment to remain open if it is determined that the target entity is in the engine compartment, the method further includes: determining whether a reminder condition is met to remind the user that the target entity is forgotten in the engine compartment; and when it is determined that the reminder condition is met, reminding the user based on the location data of the target entity.

[0060] When it is determined that the key is in the engine compartment, the vehicle's current state can be obtained through the vehicle's sensors or the user's current state can be monitored to determine whether the reminder conditions for reminding the user that the key has been forgotten in the engine compartment are met.

[0061] When the reminder conditions are met, it proves that the user has forgotten that he or she put the key in the engine compartment and there is a great possibility that the key is locked in the engine compartment. At this time, the vehicle reminds the user based on the acquired key location data.

[0062] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle includes a voice system 203 , a display system 204 and a vehicle lighting system 205 .

[0063] The voice system 203 may be a central control voice system integrated on the central control screen. When the vehicle body domain controller 201 determines that the conditions are met, it may control the voice system 203 to remind the user through voice that "the remote control key is inside the cabin".

[0064] The display system 204 may include a central control screen of the vehicle and a display screen of a user terminal connected to the vehicle, which is not limited in the present embodiment. When the display system 204 reminds the user, for example, text may be generated and displayed on the display screen in the form of a pop-up window to remind the user that the key is in the cabin.

[0065] In a possible implementation, when the reminder is through a display screen and there are multiple target entities, the method further includes: identifying the target entity to obtain the name of the target entity, generating reminder information including the name of the target entity and displaying it on the display screen.

[0066] The engine compartment may also be provided with an infrared sensor and a camera, which can be used to identify the target entity forgotten in the engine compartment, and then generate a prompt message containing the name of the target entity and display it on the display screen.

[0067] Wherein, when the target entity does not include the user terminal, the display screen may be the display screen of the user terminal or the central control large screen of the vehicle. When the target entity includes the user terminal, the display screen may be the central control large screen of the vehicle.

[0068] For example, when the target entity forgotten in the engine compartment is the user's mobile phone and the vehicle's key, the vehicle recognizes the name of the target entity forgotten in the engine compartment through the infrared sensor and camera installed in the engine compartment. Then, a prompt message such as "Mobile phone and key forgotten in the engine compartment" containing the name of the target entity is generated and displayed on the vehicle's central control screen to remind the user that the mobile phone and key are forgotten in the engine compartment.

[0069] The vehicle lighting system 205 may include all lights integrated in the vehicle, and the body domain controller 201 may remind the user that the key is in the cabin by controlling the vehicle lights to flash.

[0070] In some embodiments, a buzzer may be integrated on the lock of the engine hood, and an electrical connection is established between the buzzer and the engine hood control unit 202. The engine hood control unit 202 may also control the buzzer to sound to remind the user that the key is in the cabin.

[0071] Through the above method, when it is determined that the user has forgotten the key in the engine compartment and needs to be reminded, the user can be reminded according to the location of the target entity to prevent the user from forgetting the target entity in the engine compartment. False reminders can also be avoided, thereby improving the user's car experience.

[0072] In one possible implementation, the reminder method is to remind the user through flashing lights, and the user is reminded according to the prompt information, including: if it is determined that the target entity is in the left compartment of the engine compartment, the left side of the vehicle's headlights are controlled to flash a preset number of times; if it is determined that the target entity is in the right side of the engine compartment, the right side of the vehicle's headlights are controlled to flash a preset number of times.

[0073] The vehicle lights are lights integrated on the vehicle, including the vehicle lights inside the vehicle and the vehicle lights outside the vehicle. In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle lights used for reminding are vehicle lights outside the vehicle.

[0074] Specifically, the vehicle's external lights may include headlights, turn signals, taillights, etc. The default setting may be that the vehicle detects that there is no user in the vehicle and reminds the user through the vehicle's external lights. The preset number of times may be set in advance, assuming that the preset number of times is three times.

[0075] As in the above embodiment, the engine compartment includes a left engine compartment and a right engine compartment. When it is determined that the key is forgotten in the left engine compartment, the body domain control unit 201 controls the left vehicle light to flash a preset number of times three times to remind the user that the key is in the left engine compartment. When it is determined that the key is forgotten in the right engine compartment, the body domain control unit 201 controls the right vehicle light to flash a preset number of times three times to remind the user that the key is in the right engine compartment.

[0076] Furthermore, after reminding the user and after a fixed time interval, it is possible to detect again whether the target entity is still in the engine compartment. When the target entity is still in the engine compartment, the user can be reminded again by flashing the lights, and the above steps are repeated until the user takes out the target entity. Alternatively, when the number of reminders reaches a preset threshold, a reminder message is generated and sent to a user terminal connected to the vehicle to remind the user, thereby improving the efficiency of reminding the user.

[0077] In some embodiments, when the target entity is a user terminal, when the above reminder times reach a preset reminder times threshold, a reminder message can be generated and displayed on the vehicle's central control screen, so that the user can promptly learn that the user terminal has been forgotten in the engine compartment as soon as he gets in the vehicle.

[0078] In some embodiments, the number of times the headlight flashes can also be determined based on the duration of the engine hood being open, and the longer the duration, the more times the headlight flashes. For example, the number of times the headlight flashes can be increased every ten minutes based on the preset number of three times.

[0079] In some embodiments, the user's location can also be obtained to determine whether the user is located in the front area of ​​the vehicle or the rear area of ​​the vehicle. When it is determined that the user is located in the front area of ​​the vehicle, the headlights on the corresponding side of the cabin where the key is located can be controlled to flash a preset number of times to remind the user. When it is determined that the user is located in the rear area of ​​the vehicle, the taillights on the corresponding side of the cabin where the key is located can be controlled to flash a preset number of times to remind the user.

[0080] Through the above method, after determining the position of the target entity in the engine compartment, the headlights on the corresponding side of the vehicle can be controlled to flash a preset number of times according to the position of the target entity, so as to remind the user of the position of the target entity while reminding the user that the target entity is in the engine compartment, making it convenient for the user to quickly remove the target entity.

[0081] In one possible implementation, determining whether a reminder condition for reminding a user that a target entity is forgotten in an engine compartment is met includes: determining whether an instruction to close the engine hood is received; and when it is determined that an instruction to close the engine hood is received, determining that a reminder condition for reminding the user that the target entity is forgotten in the engine compartment is met.

[0082] After checking or repairing the engine of the vehicle, the user will close the engine hood to continue driving the vehicle. That is, when it is determined that the instruction to close the engine hood is received, it indicates that the user no longer needs to open the engine hood. At this time, it can be determined that the user has forgotten the key in the engine compartment, and the reminder condition for reminding the user that the key is forgotten in the engine compartment is met.

[0083] Among them, the command to close the engine hood can be sent by the user through gestures, voice, Bluetooth, keys, display screen, etc.

[0084] Sending a hood closing instruction through a gesture can be understood as: the user manually closes the hood, similar to the user manually closing the trunk by pressing the hood from an open state to close it. When the user sends a closing instruction through a gesture, it can be determined that the manual hood closing instruction has been received when the switch state of the hood is monitored to change from open to closed, and at this time, the reminder condition for reminding the user that the key is forgotten in the engine compartment is met.

[0085] The vehicle's voice system 203 may be preset with a keyword that triggers the hood closing command, for example, the keyword may be "close the hood". The command to close the hood sent by voice can be understood as: the user speaks a voice containing "close the hood" to the vehicle to close the hood, and the voice system 203 receives the user's voice, extracts the keyword to obtain the closing request information, and then sends the closing request information to the body domain controller 201. The body domain controller 201 obtains the control instruction to close the hood according to the closing request information. When the body domain controller 201 obtains the control instruction to close the hood, it determines that the instruction to close the hood has been received, and at this time, the reminder condition to remind the user that the key is forgotten in the engine compartment is met.

[0086] The remote control key of the vehicle may also have a control option for controlling the opening and closing of the engine hood. For example, when the user presses the control option "Close the engine hood" on the remote control key, the high-frequency receiving module transmits the request information to the body domain controller 201, and the body domain controller 201 determines and obtains the control instruction for closing the left engine hood, and sends the control instruction for closing the left engine hood to the engine hood controller 202; when the user presses the control option "Close the engine hood" twice on the remote control key, the high-frequency receiving module transmits the request information to the body domain controller 201, and the body domain controller 201 determines and obtains the control instruction for closing the right engine hood, and sends the control instruction for closing the right engine hood to the engine hood controller 202; when the user continuously presses the control option "Close the engine hood" on the remote control key for 2 seconds, the high-frequency receiving module transmits the request information to the body domain controller 201, and the body domain controller 201 determines and obtains the control instruction for closing the left engine hood and the right engine hood, and sends the control instruction for closing the left engine hood and the right engine hood at the same time to the engine hood controller 202. When the body domain controller 201 determines that any of the above control instructions is obtained, it is determined that the vehicle has received an instruction to close the engine hood, and at this time the reminder condition for reminding the user that the key is forgotten in the engine compartment is met.

[0087] Sending the instruction to close the hood via Bluetooth can be understood as: the user sends the instruction to close the hood through the user terminal that establishes a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle. Sending the instruction to close the hood via the display screen can be understood as: the user selects the option button to close the hood through the central control screen of the vehicle to control the hood to close. Among them, the central control screen of the vehicle or the display screen of the user terminal that establishes a Bluetooth connection with the vehicle can include option buttons for closing the hood, such as: "Close both hoods", "Close the left hood", "Close the right hood", etc. The user can click the corresponding option button to realize the function of closing the hood. When it is detected that the user clicks any button, it is determined that the vehicle has received the instruction to close the hood, and the reminder condition for reminding the user that the key is forgotten in the engine compartment is met. Exemplarily, when the user clicks the "Close both hoods" button, the host module of the vehicle transmits the obtained closing request information to the body domain controller 201, and the body domain controller 201 determines and obtains the control instruction to close the hoods on both sides. At this time, the vehicle determines that the instruction to close the hood is received, and determines that the reminder condition for reminding the user that the key is forgotten in the engine compartment is met.

[0088] In one possible implementation, determining whether the conditions for reminding the user that the target entity is forgotten in the engine compartment are met also includes: determining whether the distance between the user and the vehicle is greater than a preset threshold, and / or determining whether the duration for which the hood of the engine compartment is open exceeds a preset duration; if it is determined that the distance between the user and the vehicle is greater than the preset threshold, and / or if it is determined that the duration for which the hood of the engine compartment is open exceeds a preset duration, it is determined that the conditions for reminding the user that the target entity is forgotten in the engine compartment are met.

[0089] The vehicle also includes external cameras, radars and other configurations, which can measure the distance between the user and the vehicle. When the distance between the vehicle and the user is greater than a preset threshold, it can be determined that the user has not checked or repaired the vehicle engine at this time, and there is a risk of forgetting the key in the engine compartment. At this time, it is determined that the reminder condition for reminding the user that the key is forgotten in the engine compartment is met.

[0090] A timer may also be provided in the vehicle. When it is detected that the user opens the engine hood, the timer starts counting. When the counting time exceeds the preset time, that is, the engine hood of the engine compartment is opened for a long time, it proves that the user is busy repairing and inspecting the configuration in the engine compartment for a long time, and there is a risk of forgetting the key in the engine compartment. At this time, it is determined that the reminder condition for reminding the user that the key is forgotten in the engine compartment is met.

[0091] In some embodiments, after detecting that the distance between the user and the vehicle is greater than a preset threshold, a timer starts counting. When the counting time exceeds the preset time, it proves that the user has been away from the vehicle for a long time and there is a risk of forgetting the key in the engine compartment. At this time, it is determined that the reminder condition for reminding the user that the key is forgotten in the engine compartment is met.

[0092] In one possible implementation, the engine compartment includes a left compartment and a right compartment, the engine hood includes a left compartment and a right compartment, and after determining that an instruction to close the engine hood has been received, the method further includes: if it is determined that the target entity is in the left compartment of the engine compartment, controlling the right hood of the right compartment to close; if it is determined that the target entity is in the right compartment of the engine compartment, controlling the left hood of the left compartment to close.

[0093] As in the above-described embodiment, the engine compartment and the engine hood of the vehicle 30 include a left compartment 301 , a left hood 302 , a right compartment 303 , and a right hood 304 .

[0094] After determining that the key is located in the left engine compartment, when the body domain controller 201 determines that the vehicle has received an instruction to close the engine hood, the body domain controller 201 sends an instruction to close the right engine hood to the engine hood control unit 202. The engine hood control unit 202 controls the right engine hood 304 to close according to the instruction to close the right engine hood. At this time, the left engine hood 302 still remains open and does not perform the closing action.

[0095] After determining that the key is located in the right engine compartment, when the body domain controller 201 determines that the vehicle has received an instruction to close the hood, the body domain controller 201 sends an instruction to close the left hood to the hood control unit 202. The hood control unit 202 controls the left hood 302 to close according to the instruction to close the left hood. At this time, the right hood 304 remains open and does not perform the closing action.

[0096] In some embodiments, when there is no target entity in the engine compartment, when the body domain controller 201 determines that the vehicle has received an instruction to close the engine hood, the body domain controller 201 sends an instruction to close the engine hood to the engine hood control unit 202, and the engine hood control unit 202 controls the left side hood 302 and the right side hood 304 of the engine hood to close according to the instruction to close the engine hood.

[0097] In summary, in the present application, when it is detected that the target entity is located in the engine compartment, the engine hood is controlled to remain in an open state, which can avoid the situation where the user forgets the target entity in the engine compartment and cannot find it or take it out. And when it is determined that the reminder conditions are met, the user is reminded, which can avoid false reminders while letting the user know in time that the target entity is in the engine compartment. Further, when the engine compartment and the engine hood include left and right sides, the hood on the corresponding side can be flexibly controlled to remain in an open state according to the position of the target entity, so that the user can take out the target entity. And the lights on the corresponding side can be controlled to flash according to the position of the target entity, which can remind the user in time that the target entity has been forgotten in the car, and can also remind the user of the location of the target entity, so that the user can quickly take out the target entity.
