[0058] As described above, the current mainstream strategy for dealing with living bodies left in cars is to send out alerts by pushing messages, making beeps, calling the owner, contacting rescue agencies, etc. Some CPDs can also ventilate and cool the car by controlling the windows and turning on the air conditioner. However, current technologies do not consider how to take corresponding strategies to maximize the protection of life safety in the car when the temperature is low.

[0059] In view of the above problems, the inventor has proposed a multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system and method after research, the system includes: a living body detection radar, an in-vehicle temperature sensor and a positioning module. If the living body detection radar detects the presence of a living body in the vehicle, the reference temperature threshold for in-vehicle temperature control intervention is obtained according to the location information and the time information, and the triggering condition and temperature control strategy for in-vehicle temperature control intervention corresponding to the reference temperature threshold are determined; if the in-vehicle temperature meets the triggering condition, the in-vehicle temperature of the vehicle is controlled and adjusted based on the temperature control strategy corresponding to the reference temperature threshold.

[0060] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0061] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: a living body detection radar, an in-vehicle temperature sensor and a positioning module: the in-vehicle temperature sensor and the positioning module are both communicatively connected to the living body detection radar.

[0062] The positioning module is used to collect the location information of the vehicle, and provide the location information and the time information when the location information is collected to the living body detection radar.

[0063] The vehicle positioning module is a key technology in the car, which is used to determine the vehicle's geographic location and time information. The positioning module receives satellite signals through a satellite positioning system such as GPS to determine the longitude and latitude of the vehicle. Through the built-in clock chip, it records the specific time of collecting the location information, and transmits the location information and time information to the liveness detection radar through the communication module. The liveness detection radar takes timely measures or notifies the owner if there is a live body left in the car based on the received location information and time information.

[0064] The in-vehicle temperature sensor is used to collect the in-vehicle temperature corresponding to the time information, and provide the in-vehicle temperature to the living body detection radar.

[0065] The in-car temperature sensor is installed in the car and can measure the temperature in the car in real time and transmit the temperature data to the living body detection radar.

[0066] The living body detection radar is used to obtain a reference temperature threshold for in-vehicle temperature control intervention based on the location information and the time information if a living body is detected in the vehicle, and to determine a trigger condition and a temperature control strategy for the in-vehicle temperature control intervention corresponding to the reference temperature threshold; if the in-vehicle temperature meets the trigger condition, the in-vehicle temperature of the vehicle is controlled and adjusted based on the temperature control strategy corresponding to the reference temperature threshold.

[0067] The reference temperature threshold includes starting to increase the reference temperature threshold or starting to decrease the reference temperature threshold.

[0068] The liveness detection radar is specifically used to control the upward adjustment of the vehicle's interior temperature when it is determined according to the time information and the location information that it is winter and if the vehicle interior temperature is lower than the start-up reference temperature threshold.

[0069] Exemplarily, it is determined that the time is winter according to the time and location information, and the reference temperature threshold for starting the increase is obtained from the database or preset rules as 10°C. When the temperature inside the car drops to 10°C or below, the temperature is increased.

[0070] The liveness detection radar is specifically used to control the downward adjustment of the vehicle's interior temperature when it is determined that it is summer according to the time information and the location information, and if the vehicle interior temperature is higher than the start downward adjustment reference temperature threshold.

[0071] Exemplarily, it is determined that the time is summer based on the time and location information, and the reference temperature threshold for starting the increase is obtained from the database or preset rules as 35°C. When the temperature inside the vehicle rises to 35°C or above, the temperature is lowered.

[0072] The present embodiment provides a multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system. When a living body is detected in the car, a reference temperature threshold for temperature control intervention in the car is obtained according to location information and time information, and a trigger condition for temperature control intervention is determined. A corresponding temperature control strategy is formulated according to the trigger condition, and the temperature in the car is flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions. This method can not only reduce the situation of suffocation of children or pets when they are locked in the car in hot summer, but also prevent frostbite of children or pets when they are locked in the car in cold winter, thereby protecting the life safety in the car to the greatest extent.

[0073] See also Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of another multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system provided in an embodiment of the present application. In order to further improve the multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system, an alarm prompt module is added. Figure 2 As shown, the system includes: a living body detection radar, an in-vehicle temperature sensor, an alarm prompt module and a positioning module: the in-vehicle temperature sensor, the alarm prompt module and the positioning module are all communicatively connected with the living body detection radar.

[0074] The liveness detection radar is also used to obtain an in-vehicle temperature alarm prompt temperature threshold based on the location information and the time information, and determine the triggering condition and alarm mode of the in-vehicle temperature alarm corresponding to the alarm prompt temperature threshold; if the in-vehicle temperature meets the alarm triggering condition, an alarm signal is sent to the alarm prompt module based on the alarm mode corresponding to the alarm prompt temperature threshold.

[0075] The alarm prompt module is used to prompt the vehicle user based on the received alarm signal.

[0076] The alarm prompt module includes a body control module and / or a wireless communication module: the body control module is used to flash lights or sound a horn based on a received alarm signal; the wireless communication module is used to send a message prompt to the vehicle user based on the received alarm signal.

[0077] The body control system controls the vehicle's lighting system to flash lights and the vehicle's horn system to sound the horn according to the alarm signal. The wireless communication module sends a message to the owner's mobile phone through GSM or GPRS technology based on the alarm signal, informing the owner that there is a living thing in the car and providing the vehicle's location information.

[0078] The alarm prompt temperature threshold includes a high temperature alarm temperature threshold or a low temperature alarm temperature threshold; the high temperature alarm temperature threshold is lower than the start-down reference temperature threshold, and the low temperature alarm temperature threshold is higher than the start-up reference temperature threshold.

[0079] For example, a temperature exceeding 35°C is generally considered a high temperature environment, and a temperature below 5°C is considered a low temperature environment. The start-down reference temperature threshold is 35°C, the start-up reference temperature threshold is 5°C, the high temperature alarm temperature threshold is lower than the start-down reference temperature threshold and is set to 30°C, and the low temperature alarm temperature threshold is higher than the start-up reference temperature threshold and is set to 10°C. When the temperature inside the vehicle meets the alarm triggering condition, the alarm prompt module gives a prompt.

[0080] A low temperature alarm temperature threshold is set, and when it is determined to be winter according to the time information and the location information, if the temperature inside the vehicle is lower than the low temperature alarm temperature threshold, an alarm signal is sent to the alarm prompt module.

[0081] A high temperature alarm temperature threshold is set, and when it is determined to be summer according to the time information and the location information, if the temperature inside the vehicle is higher than the high temperature alarm temperature threshold, an alarm signal is sent to the alarm prompt module.

[0082] If it is detected that there is still a living body in the vehicle after the alarm is prompted, and the temperature inside the vehicle continues to rise until it reaches the reference temperature threshold, then the temperature inside the vehicle is adjusted downward;

[0083] After the alarm is prompted, if it is detected that there is still a living body in the vehicle, and the temperature inside the vehicle continues to drop until it reaches the reference temperature threshold, the temperature inside the vehicle is adjusted upward.

[0084] This embodiment provides another multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system, which is combined with an alarm prompt module to further control the vehicle. The preset alarm prompt temperature threshold can trigger an alarm when the temperature inside the car reaches a certain dangerous level. The liveness detection radar detects again after the alarm prompt. If the occupant or pet is still in the car and the temperature continues to rise or fall to reach the reference temperature threshold, the corresponding temperature control measures are taken to intervene and prevent the temperature inside the car from being too high or too low, causing harm to the occupants or pets in the car.

[0085] See also Figure 3 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of another multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system provided in the embodiment of the present application. In order to further improve the multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system, an external temperature sensor is added. Figure 3 As shown, the system includes: a liveness detection radar, an in-vehicle temperature sensor, an out-vehicle temperature sensor, an alarm prompt module and a positioning module, and the alarm prompt module includes the body control module: the in-vehicle temperature sensor, the out-vehicle temperature sensor, the alarm prompt module and the positioning module are all communicatively connected to the liveness detection radar.

[0086] The liveness detection radar is also used to lower the vehicle's interior temperature when the vehicle's outside temperature rises to the ambient temperature monitoring threshold and the vehicle's interior temperature continues to rise until the reference temperature threshold is started to be lowered; and to increase the vehicle's interior temperature when the vehicle's outside temperature drops to the ambient temperature monitoring threshold and the vehicle's interior temperature continues to drop until the reference temperature threshold is started to be raised.

[0087] The ambient temperature monitoring threshold is acquired according to the time information and the location information.

[0088] The vehicle exterior temperature sensor is used to collect the vehicle exterior temperature corresponding to the time information, and provide the vehicle exterior temperature to the living body detection radar.

[0089] When the outside temperature rises to the ambient temperature monitoring threshold, such as 40°C, and the inside temperature continues to rise to the start-down reference temperature threshold, such as 35°C, the temperature is lowered to a suitable range. When the outside temperature drops to the ambient temperature monitoring threshold, such as 0°C, and the inside temperature continues to drop to the start-up reference temperature threshold, such as 10°C, the temperature is raised to a suitable range.

[0090] When the living body detection radar determines that it is spring or autumn according to the time information and the location information, when the temperature inside the vehicle exceeds the reference temperature threshold of the season and the temperature inside the vehicle is higher than the temperature outside the vehicle, a window lowering ventilation instruction is sent to the body control module, and the body control module controls the window to be lowered according to the instruction.

[0091] If the temperature inside the vehicle is still higher than the reference temperature threshold of the season after lowering the windows for ventilation, the temperature inside the vehicle is adjusted downward.

[0092] For example, if it is determined that the current season is spring, the outside temperature is 26°C, the inside temperature is 32°C, the preset spring reference temperature threshold is 30°C, the inside temperature exceeds the reference temperature threshold, and the inside temperature is higher than the outside temperature, a window lowering and ventilation instruction is sent to the body control system. After the window is lowered for ventilation, the inside temperature is 30°C, reaching the reference temperature threshold, and the temperature is lowered to a comfortable temperature such as about 25°C.

[0093] This embodiment provides another multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system, which controls the vehicle in combination with an outdoor temperature sensor, and adds control measures in spring or autumn. The windows can be lowered for ventilation first, and then the temperature inside the vehicle can be further regulated and intervened when the trigger conditions are met, so that the temperature inside the vehicle is maintained within a comfortable range, thereby ensuring the life safety of the living organisms in the vehicle to the greatest extent.

[0094] See also Figure 4, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of another multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system provided in an embodiment of the present application. In order to further improve the multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system, an engine control module and a battery management module are added. Figure 4 As shown, the system includes: a liveness detection radar, an in-vehicle temperature sensor, an out-vehicle temperature sensor, an engine control module, a battery management module, an alarm prompt module and a positioning module: the in-vehicle temperature sensor, the out-vehicle temperature sensor, the engine control module, the battery management module, the alarm prompt module and the positioning module are all communicatively connected to the liveness detection radar.

[0095] The living body detection radar is used to determine whether the battery voltage is lower than the voltage setting value based on the battery voltage signal sent by the battery management module, and if it is lower than the voltage setting value, send a start instruction to the engine control module.

[0096] When the presence of a living organism is detected in the vehicle and the temperature inside the vehicle meets the trigger conditions for temperature control intervention, the vehicle's interior temperature will be controlled and adjusted. This will reduce the battery voltage. If the battery voltage is too low, the engine will be started to charge to ensure that the battery voltage returns to normal levels.

[0097] The battery management module is used to monitor the battery voltage signal and provide the battery voltage signal to the living body detection radar.

[0098] The engine control module is used to receive a start instruction of the living body detection radar.

[0099] Another multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system provided in this embodiment includes an engine control module and a battery management module. The battery management module monitors the battery voltage signal. When the battery voltage is lower than a preset voltage setting value, it requests the engine control module to ignite the engine to maintain the normal operation of the temperature control strategy, thereby maximizing the waiting time for rescue of living beings left in the vehicle.

[0100] Based on the multi-sensor fusion vehicle control system in the above-mentioned embodiment, the present application also provides an embodiment of a multi-sensor fusion vehicle control method, which is described in detail below.

[0101] See also Figure 5 , which is a flow chart of a vehicle control method of multi-sensor fusion provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0102] Before executing the following steps, it is determined that the vehicle is armed and a living person is detected inside the vehicle.

[0103] S501. The positioning module collects the location information of the vehicle, and provides the location information and the time information when the location information is collected to the living body detection radar.

[0104] The positioning module obtains the vehicle's geographic location information, such as accuracy, latitude and altitude, through the global positioning system GPS or Beidou satellite navigation system, and attaches a timestamp to record the time when the location information is collected.

[0105] S502: The in-vehicle temperature sensor collects the in-vehicle temperature corresponding to the time information, and provides the in-vehicle temperature to the living body detection radar.

[0106] The in-car temperature sensor is installed in the car to monitor the temperature in the car in real time.

[0107] S503, the living body detection radar obtains the in-vehicle temperature alarm prompt temperature threshold according to the position information and the time information, and determines the triggering condition and alarm mode of the in-vehicle temperature alarm corresponding to the alarm prompt temperature threshold; if the in-vehicle temperature meets the alarm triggering condition, an alarm signal is sent to the alarm prompt module based on the alarm mode corresponding to the alarm prompt temperature threshold; the alarm prompt module is used to prompt the vehicle user based on the received alarm signal.

[0108] When it is determined according to the time information and the location information that it is winter, if the temperature inside the vehicle is lower than the low temperature alarm temperature threshold, sending an alarm signal to the alarm prompt module;

[0109] When it is determined to be summer according to the time information and the location information, if the temperature inside the vehicle is higher than the high temperature alarm temperature threshold, an alarm signal is sent to the alarm prompt module.

[0110] The alarm prompt module includes a body control module and / or a wireless communication module. The body control module is used to flash lights or sound a horn based on a received alarm signal; the wireless communication module is used to send a message prompt to a vehicle user based on the received alarm signal.

[0111] S504. After the alarm is prompted, if the living body detection radar detects that there is still a living body in the vehicle, the reference temperature threshold for the temperature control intervention in the vehicle is obtained according to the location information and the time information, and the trigger condition and temperature control strategy for the temperature control intervention in the vehicle corresponding to the reference temperature threshold are determined; if the temperature in the vehicle meets the trigger condition, the temperature in the vehicle is controlled and adjusted based on the temperature control strategy corresponding to the reference temperature threshold.

[0112] When it is determined according to the time information and the location information that it is winter, if the vehicle interior temperature is lower than the start-up reference temperature threshold, controlling to increase the vehicle interior temperature;

[0113] When it is determined to be summer according to the time information and the location information, if the temperature inside the vehicle is higher than the start downward adjustment reference temperature threshold, the temperature inside the vehicle is controlled to be adjusted downward.

[0114] S505. The living body detection radar determines whether the battery voltage is lower than the voltage setting value based on the battery voltage signal sent by the battery management module. If the battery voltage is lower than the voltage setting value, a start instruction is sent to the engine control module.

[0115] When the presence of a living organism is detected in the vehicle and the temperature inside the vehicle meets the trigger conditions for temperature control intervention, the vehicle's interior temperature will be controlled and adjusted. This will reduce the battery voltage. If the battery voltage is too low, the engine will be started to charge to ensure that the battery voltage returns to normal levels.

[0116] The multi-sensor fusion vehicle control method provided in this embodiment can not only reduce the suffocation of children or pets locked in the car in hot summer, but also prevent frostbite of children or pets locked in the car in cold winter, thereby protecting the life safety of the living things in the car to the greatest extent.
