Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

[0030] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this disclosure. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] One embodiment of this disclosure provides an adaptive interactive car welcome animation display system, including: an information computing center (ICC), a regional controller (FLZCU), and a lighting module. The lighting module includes a headlight module, a rear left lamp fixed module (RLFLM), a rear left lamp movable module (RLPLM), a rear right lamp fixed module (RRFLM), a rear right lamp movable module (RRPLM), and an interactive signal display light.

[0033] The lighting module communicates with the area controller via a bus, receives and forwards different current and PWM control commands sent by the area controller to the LED matrix chip on each vehicle light, controls the current and PWM values ​​of individual LEDs, and realizes brightness adjustment of individual LEDs.

[0034] The information computing center sends time messages and welcome instruction messages to the area controller. The area controller receives these messages via a bus. When the welcome instruction is valid, it calculates the day of the week based on the current time to determine the welcome lighting control instruction and sends it to the interactive signal display lights to control the brightness of individual LEDs. The bus also displays the current time. By converting the date to Monday through Sunday, one of seven pre-stored animations is invoked to display the corresponding day's lighting.

[0035] As one embodiment, the headlight module includes a left headlight module LHM and a right headlight module RHM, the interactive signal indicator includes a left interactive signal indicator LISD and a right interactive signal indicator RISD; the lighting module also includes low beam headlights, high beam headlights, position lights, turn signals and logo lights.

[0036] Furthermore, the Information Computing Center (ICC) communicates with the Area Controller (FLZCU) via the CANFD bus. The Area Controller (FLZCU) communicates with the left headlight module (LHM), right headlight module (RHM), rear left fixed light module (RLFLM), rear left movable light module (RLPLM), rear right fixed light module (RRFLM), rear right movable light module (RRPLM), and the left interactive signal indicator (LISD) and right interactive signal indicator (RISD) via the CANFD bus.

[0037] Furthermore, in welcome mode, upon receiving the unlock / lock welcome command, the effective left and right headlight modules send current / PWM value control commands to the LED matrix chips (such as ASL5115, E522.49, TPS92662, TPS929120, etc.) on the low beam, high beam, position lights, turn signals, and logo lights via CAN / UART bus communication. Through specific control of the LED matrix chips, the current / PWM value of each LED is controlled.

[0038] Further, the rear left lamp fixed module, rear left lamp movable module, rear right lamp fixed module, and rear right lamp movable module send current value / PWM value control instructions to the LED matrix chips (such as ASL5115, E522.49, TPS92662, TPS929120, etc.) on the position lamp, turn signal lamp, and Logo lamp through the communication method of CAN / Uart bus. By specifically controlling the LED matrix chips, the control of the current value / PWM value of a single LED is achieved.

[0039] Further, the interactive signal display lamp sends current value / PWM value control instructions to the LED matrix chips (such as ASL5115, E522.49, TPS92662, TPS929120, etc.) on the ISD through the communication method of CAN / Uart bus. By specifically controlling the LED matrix chips, and through the communication method of CAN / Uart bus, the current value / PWM value control instructions of a single LED are sent to the LED matrix chips, achieving the control of the current value / PWM value of a single LED. The LED matrix chips can be individually controlled through the internal switch circuit to adjust the brightness of a single LED.

[0040] In the interactive signal display lamp, an animation is displayed on the ISD screen of the vehicle lamp. The ISD screen of the vehicle lamp is composed of multiple white LED particles and multiple yellow LED particles, forming a low-resolution display screen in a trapezoid shape. Different brightness combinations of LEDs form different pictures, and each picture is changed every 10 ms. Multiple pictures are quickly switched to form an animation.

[0041] As an embodiment, 7 welcome animation effects are preset in each lamp controller.

[0042] 1) Animation 1 is a welcome animation with a happy theme, and the interactive signal display lamp displays a smiling face expression.

[0043] 2) Animation 2 is a welcome animation with a lucky theme, and the interactive signal display lamp displays the flowing animation of the character "Fu".

[0044] 3) Animation 3 is a welcome animation with a relaxing theme, and the interactive signal display lamp displays a kite animation.

[0045] 4) Animation 4 is a welcome animation with a warm theme, and the interactive signal display lamp displays a coffee animation.

[0046] 4) Animation 5 is a welcome animation with a pleasant theme, and the interactive signal display lamp displays a smiling expression.

[0047] 6) Animation 6 is a welcome animation with a leisure theme, and the interactive signal display lamp displays a ping-pong animation.

[0048] The Information Computing Center (ICC) sends a current time message. The CAN message name is ICC_COM_8, the ID is 0x510, and the CAN signals are: CurrentTimeYear, CurrentTimeMonth, CurrentTimeDay, CurrentTimeHour, CurrentTimeMinute, and CurrentTimeSecond. The CAN message period is 500ms.

[0049] The area controller FLZCU forwards the current time message via the CAN bus and simultaneously sends a welcome message. The welcome message is named FLZCU_4, with an ID of 0x15E, and uses the WelcomeLight CAN signal. The CAN message period is 10ms.

[0050] Each lighting controller receives the current time message and welcome instruction message sent by FLZCU from the CAN bus.

[0051] When the welcome command is valid, the day of the week is calculated based on the current time to determine the welcome effect mode, thereby controlling the lighting module to achieve specific animation switching.

[0052] If the current week value is 0, execute the welcoming effect of animation 7 (Sunday).

[0053] If the current week value is 1, execute the welcoming effect of animation 1 (Monday).

[0054] If the current week value is 2, execute the welcoming effect of animation 2 (Tuesday).

[0055] If the current week value is 3, execute the welcoming effect of animation 3.

[0056] If the current week value is 4, execute the welcoming effect of animation 4.

[0057] If the current week value is 5, execute the welcoming effect of animation 5.

[0058] If the current weekday is 6, execute the welcoming effect of animation 6.

[0059] If the current week value is not between 0 and 6, execute the default animation 7's welcoming effect.
