[0047] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a control method for a car central control screen according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1As shown, an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a control method for a car's central control screen, including:

[0048] Get the current status of the vehicle;

[0049] When the vehicle's current status is that the vehicle power supply is in ACC or OFF mode, or the vehicle is in reverse gear, the central control screen is in the first position.

[0050] When the vehicle's current status is that the vehicle power is ON, the control center screen is in the second position.

[0051] This embodiment can control the central control screen to slide between two positions according to the current state of the vehicle, thereby improving the customer's user experience.

[0052] When the center console screen is in the passenger seat position, if the vehicle's power is switched to ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), the screen will automatically slide to the center position, and the interface will switch to the main screen, displaying a sliding effect. If the vehicle's power is switched to OFF, the screen will automatically slide to the center position and turn off. When the center console screen is in the passenger seat position and the vehicle is in reverse gear, the screen will automatically slide to the center position, and the interface will switch to the reversing view. When the center console screen is in the passenger seat position, using one-touch sliding switches, clicking one-touch sliding buttons on the steering wheel, or using four-finger gestures will automatically slide the screen to the center position, and the interface will switch to the main screen. After the screen slides from the passenger seat position to the center position, the passenger seat massage, ambient lighting, and fragrance functions will revert to their previous states.

[0053] Specifically, in the control method of the car's central control screen:

[0054] The first position is the middle position between the driver's seat and the passenger seat;

[0055] The second position is the passenger seat.

[0056] This embodiment can control the central control screen to slide between the middle position between the driver's seat and the passenger seat and the passenger seat, depending on the current state of the vehicle, thereby improving the customer's user experience.

[0057] Specifically, when the vehicle's power supply is in ACC or OFF mode, or when the vehicle is in reverse gear, the control center screen is in the first position, including:

[0058] When the vehicle's power supply is in ACC or OFF mode, or when the vehicle is in reverse gear, obtain the current position of the central control screen;

[0059] When the central control screen is currently in the first position, the position of the central control screen remains unchanged;

[0060] When the central control screen is currently in the second position, control the central control screen to move from the second position to the first position.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the vehicle power is switched from ACC to OFF or the vehicle is put into reverse, the central control screen will automatically return to the center position. The entire process is intelligent and convenient, reducing user operating costs and enhancing the customer experience with a single click.

[0062] Specifically, when the vehicle's power supply is ON, the control center screen is in the second position, including:

[0063] By clicking the one-click sliding switch on the central control screen, clicking the one-click sliding button on the steering wheel, or using gestures, the central control screen can be moved from the first position to the second position.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the vehicle's power is ON, the customer can control the screen to slide from the center to the passenger side by clicking a one-touch slide switch, clicking a one-touch slide button on the steering wheel, or using gestures on the central control screen. During the slide, a sliding effect will be displayed on the central control screen. For example, gestures include four-finger gestures; that is, when the user simultaneously touches and moves all four fingers on the screen, they can control the screen to slide from the center to the passenger side.

[0065] Specifically, the control method for the automotive central control screen includes:

[0066] When the central control screen is in the second position, determine whether the comfort mode is activated;

[0067] When Comfort mode is activated, comfort features are enabled, including automatic activation of fragrance, ambient lighting, and passenger seat massage.

[0068] In this embodiment, the central control screen provides a comfort switch. After the user manually activates the comfort switch, the fragrance, ambient lighting, and passenger seat massage functions will automatically turn on if the screen is swiped to the passenger seat position. When the user does not activate the comfort switch, the fragrance, ambient lighting, and passenger seat massage functions remain unchanged.

[0069] Specifically, the control method for the automotive central control screen includes:

[0070] When the central control screen is in the first position, control the central control screen to display the first interface;

[0071] When the central control screen is in the second position, the central control screen displays a second interface, which includes card options for cinema mode, game mode, and music mode.

[0072] It's worth noting that the first interface is the main interface. When the central control screen is swiped from the center to the passenger side, the interface switches to a dedicated passenger-side interface, offering three card options: Cinema Mode, Game Mode, and Music Mode. If the user has activated the comfort switch before swiping the screen, the ambient lighting, fragrance, and passenger seat massage functions will automatically turn on after the screen is swiped to the passenger side.

[0073] Specifically, the control method for the automotive central control screen includes:

[0074] Detect whether the central control screen encounters obstacles during its movement;

[0075] When the central control screen encounters an obstacle during its movement, it will be controlled to move back to its original position.

[0076] In this embodiment, the central control screen has an anti-pinch function: when the central control screen encounters an obstacle during the sliding process, when the force detected by the sliding mechanism reaches a certain value, the central control screen will slide in the opposite direction to the middle position / passenger position.

[0077] Figure 2 This is a block diagram of a control system for a car central control screen, as described in this exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a control system for a car's central control screen, including:

[0078] The acquisition module is used to acquire the current status of the vehicle;

[0079] The sliding mechanism control module is used to control the central control screen to be in the first position when the vehicle's current state is that the vehicle power supply is in ACC or OFF position or the vehicle is in reverse gear;

[0080] The sliding mechanism control module is also used to control the central control screen to the second position when the vehicle's current state is that the vehicle power is ON.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment utilizes the interaction strategy between the display slide assembly (DSA), body domain control module (BDM), climate control module (CLM), passenger seat movement module (PSMM), transmission control unit (TCU), and central control screen. This allows for one-button control of the central control screen to slide between the center and passenger positions via switches and gestures, providing a dedicated entertainment interface for the passenger and enhancing the user experience through linked comfort functions.

[0082] Central Control Screen Control Strategy: When the vehicle is first powered on, the central control screen will default to the center position; when the vehicle switches to the ACC / OFF power position, the central control screen will automatically return to the center position. The central control screen provides a comfort switch. After the user activates the comfort soft switch, if the central control screen slides from the center position to the passenger side, it receives a signal from the sliding mechanism DSA indicating that the central control screen is in the passenger side position. The central control screen then sends an ambient lighting activation signal to the Body Domain Module (BDM), an air conditioning activation signal to the Climate Control Module (CLM), and a passenger seat massage activation signal to the Passenger Seat Massage Module (PSMM), activating the ambient lighting, air conditioning, and passenger seat massage functions. If the user does not activate the comfort switch, the ambient lighting, air conditioning, and passenger seat massage functions will remain unchanged when the central control screen slides from the center position to the passenger side. When the central control screen receives a periodic status signal from the sliding mechanism DSA and is in the center position, and the user operates the one-touch sliding switch on the central control screen interface, the one-touch sliding switch on the steering wheel, or a four-finger gesture, the central control screen IHU (infotainment head unit) sends a sliding signal towards the passenger side to the sliding mechanism DSA, controlling the central control screen to slide towards the passenger side. When the central control screen receives a periodic status signal from the sliding mechanism DSA and is in the passenger side position, the central control screen will switch to a passenger-specific interface, providing three card options for the user to choose from: Cinema Mode, Game Mode, and Music Mode. When the central control screen receives a periodic status signal from the sliding mechanism DSA and is in the passenger side position, and the user operates the one-touch sliding switch on the central control screen interface, the one-touch sliding switch on the steering wheel, or a four-finger gesture, the central control screen IHU sends a sliding signal towards the center to the sliding mechanism DSA, controlling the central control screen to slide towards the center. When the central control screen is in the passenger side position and receives the ACC / OFF power status signal from the BDM, it sends a sliding signal towards the center to the DSA to control the central control screen to slide. When the central control screen is in the passenger seat position, it receives a vehicle gear status signal from the TCU indicating that the vehicle is in reverse (R). It then sends a signal to the DSA to slide the screen to the center position. When the central control screen slides to the center position, the main screen interface switches, and the fragrance, ambient lighting, and passenger seat massage functions return to their previous states.

[0083] The sliding mechanism control module (DSA) employs the following control strategy: The DSA sends periodic center console screen position status feedback signals to the IHU in real time, displaying four states: center console screen in the center position, moving towards the passenger side, center console screen in the passenger side position, and moving towards the center. When the DSA receives a signal from the IHU indicating movement towards the passenger side, if the center console screen is in the center position, it controls the screen to move to the passenger side. If the screen is already in the passenger side position, no action is taken upon receiving the signal to move towards the passenger side. Conversely, when the DSA receives a signal from the IHU indicating movement towards the center position, if the screen is already in the passenger side position, it controls the screen to move to the center position. If the screen is already in the center position, no action is taken upon receiving the signal to move towards the center.

[0084] Body Domain Controller (BDM) control strategy: The BDM provides real-time feedback of the vehicle's power supply status to the Integrated Hub (IHU); upon receiving an ambient lighting activation signal from the IHU, the BDM activates the ambient lighting function and sends its status back to the IHU. Upon receiving an ambient lighting deactivation signal from the IHU, the BDM deactivates the ambient lighting function and sends its status back to the IHU.

[0085] Air Conditioning Control Module (CLM) Control Strategy: When the CLM receives a fragrance function activation signal from the IHU, it activates the fragrance function and sends its status back to the IHU. When the CLM receives a fragrance function deactivation signal from the IHU, it deactivates the fragrance function and sends its status back to the IHU.

[0086] Passenger seat massage control module (PSMM) control strategy: When the vehicle is first powered on, the TCU will default to disabling the special parking mode; the TCU will not remember the special parking mode settings; when the vehicle is powered on again, the TCU will default to disabling the special parking mode. When the PSMM receives a signal from the IHU to activate the passenger seat massage function, the PSMM will activate the passenger seat massage function and report its status to the IHU. When the PSMM receives a signal from the IHU to deactivate the passenger seat massage function, the PSMM will deactivate the passenger seat massage function and report its status to the IHU.

[0087] Transmission Control Unit (TCU) control strategy: The TCU sends the vehicle gear position signal to the IHU in real time.
