[0110] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0111] Figure 1 1 is a functional block diagram of a vehicle 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The vehicle 100 may include an air conditioner 110, a heater 120 and a computing platform 150, wherein the heater 120 may include a contact heater and / or a radiation heater.

[0112] Optionally, the vehicle 100 may further include a perception system, which may include one or more sensors for sensing information about the environment around the vehicle 100. For example, the perception system may include a positioning system, which may be a global positioning system (GPS), a Beidou system, or other positioning systems. The perception system may also include one or more of an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a laser radar, a millimeter wave radar, an ultrasonic radar, and a camera device.

[0113] Some or all functions of the vehicle 100 may be controlled by the computing platform 150. The computing platform 150 may include one or more processors, such as processors 151 to 15n (n is a positive integer). The processor is a circuit with signal processing capability. In one implementation, the processor may be a circuit with instruction reading and execution capability, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor, a graphics processing unit (GPU) (which can be understood as a microprocessor), or a digital signal processor (DSP). In another implementation, the processor may implement certain functions through the logical relationship of a hardware circuit, and the logical relationship of the hardware circuit is fixed or reconfigurable, such as a hardware circuit implemented by a processor such as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA). In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document to implement the hardware circuit configuration can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units. In addition, the processor may also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which may be understood as an ASIC, such as a neural network processing unit (NPU), a tensor processing unit (TPU), a deep learning processing unit (DPU), etc. In addition, the computing platform 150 may also include a memory, the memory is used to store instructions, and some or all of the processors 151 to 15n may call the instructions in the memory to implement corresponding functions.

[0114] Optionally, the vehicle 100 may also include a display device. Display devices are mainly divided into two categories, the first category is the vehicle-mounted display screen; the second category is a projection display screen, such as a head up display (HUD). The vehicle-mounted display screen is a physical display screen and an important part of the vehicle infotainment system. Multiple display screens can be set in the cockpit, such as a digital instrument display screen, a central control screen, a display screen in front of the passenger in the co-pilot seat (also called the front passenger), a display screen in front of the left rear passenger, and a display screen in front of the right rear passenger. Even the window can be used as a display screen for display. Head-up display, also known as a head-up display system. It is mainly used to display driving information such as speed and navigation on a display device in front of the driver (such as a windshield). To reduce the driver's line of sight diversion time, avoid pupil changes caused by the driver's line of sight diversion, and improve driving safety and comfort. HUD includes, for example, a combiner-HUD (C-HUD) system, a windshield-HUD (W-HUD) system, and an augmented reality HUD (AR-HUD) system. It should be understood that other types of HUD systems may also appear as technology evolves, and this application does not limit this.

[0115] There are three basic ways of heat transfer in a vehicle: convection, radiation, and conduction.

[0116] Air conditioning in vehicles is mainly a heat convection mechanism, which uses air conditioning to cool and heat the air, heats the cabin environment through air conditioning, and provides users with a warm environment and comfortable body feeling through convection between hot air and the human body. However, the air conditioning system has experience problems such as blower / compressor noise, uncomfortable blowing feeling, low heating efficiency and high energy consumption.

[0117] Air conditioning outlet is a common heat convection mechanism, and the heat convection mechanism can also be achieved through other air outlet methods, such as seat ventilation and neck ventilation.

[0118] Taking the outside temperature of -15℃ as an example, after the air conditioner works for 10 minutes, the head temperature can reach 20℃ and the foot temperature can reach 20-30℃. After the air conditioner is turned on for 5 minutes, the air outlet temperature is greater than 35℃, and it takes 20 minutes for the human body to reach thermal comfort.

[0119] High energy consumption of air conditioners during cold start: Taking a short trip of 30 minutes as an example, the energy consumption of non-heat pump air conditioners in low temperatures in winter is greater than 4kW, and the energy consumption of heat pump air conditioners is greater than 2kW.

[0120] The problem of noise, vibration and vehicle vibration roughness (NVH) of air outlet from air conditioner: The heating NVH of heating blower in winter is relatively large, which is the biggest pain point of air conditioner experience.

[0121] Contact heaters are heat conduction mechanisms. For example, they heat the seat surface and transfer heat to the human body in a contact manner. This method is highly efficient, but it can only heat the area where the human body is in contact with the seat and cannot provide heating for the head, feet and torso of the human body.

[0122] Radiant heater refers to a non-contact heater that can provide external heating through air outlet and heat radiation.

[0123] The current seat heating and air-conditioning systems are not sufficiently linked: seat heating is turned on by the user as a feature, but there is a lack of control strategy adjustment for the two after coupling them with the air-conditioning system or radiant heating film. For example, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner does not change before and after the seat heating is turned on.

[0124] Manual gear control by users is prone to overheating: In winter, most users turn on the air conditioner and seat heating at the same time. Because they are not professional in thermal management, the seat heating is usually turned on for 10 minutes and then turned off or adjusted to level 1 after local heat occurs (confirmed by subjective experience). They do not adjust the air conditioner professionally, and the air conditioner energy consumption remains high (for example, 2 to 4kW).

[0125] Radiant heaters are a heat radiation mechanism that can directly radiate energy to the human body through the heating plate, heating it efficiently.

[0126] Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the air conditioner, contact heater, and radiation heater in the vehicle cabin provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. The vehicle may include the above three heating devices or have two of them. There may be multiple heating devices of each type, for example, the contact heater 2.1 is for heating the back of the seat, the contact heater 2.2 is for heating the buttocks of the seat, the radiation heater 3.1 is for heating the head area, the radiation heater 3.2 and the radiation heater 3.3 are for heating the leg area, etc.

[0127] As mentioned above, traditional vehicles can use the engine's waste heat to fully heat the passenger compartment during winter heating, but the heating rate is slow. New energy vehicles (hybrid / extended range pure electric mode, or pure electric models) do not have engine waste heat, so they need to use electric heating or air conditioning heat pumps to heat the air to heat the passenger compartment. This extra energy consumption greatly affects the winter energy consumption and endurance of new energy vehicles.

[0128] The present application provides a control method, device and vehicle, which can help reduce the energy consumption of new energy vehicles while ensuring heating for users, thereby helping to improve the cruising range of new energy vehicles.

[0129] In winter, the vehicle's ambient temperature is low. When the user requires heating and turns on the heating device, the vehicle can have a heating state, in which the above three heating devices or any combination thereof can be turned on.

[0130] Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. The vehicle can identify the status and user setting information, such as the ambient temperature outside the vehicle, the ambient temperature inside the vehicle, the target temperature set by the user, the number of passengers and the seating position, etc. The controller selectively turns on the air conditioning, contact heater, and radiation heater based on this information, and controls the corresponding temperature (or gear, or power) respectively. In the embodiment of the present application, in addition to the traditional air conditioning function, the vehicle is equipped with linkage control of the radiation heater and the contact heater.

[0131] The controller in the computing platform 150 can intelligently determine the opening or power (or temperature, gear position) of the heater through one or more of the information such as temperature, mileage, occupant information, seat and interior status, etc. The embodiment of the present application also proposes a hardware design scheme for interior heaters (such as seat leg rests, sun visors, etc.), and differentiated control strategies for different distances from the human body and in folded states.

[0132] Figure 4 FIG. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a control method 400 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method 400 may be Figure 1 The method 400 may be performed by the vehicle 100 shown in the figure, or the method 400 may be performed by the computing platform 150, or the method 400 may be performed by a system consisting of the computing platform 150 and a sensor, or the method 400 may be performed by a system-on-chip (SoC) in the computing platform 150, or the method 400 may be performed by a processor or controller in the computing platform 150. The method 400 includes:

[0133] S410, obtaining a first input from a user and status information of a vehicle, wherein the first input is an input for setting a heating parameter of an air conditioner to a first heating parameter, the status information of the vehicle includes an in-vehicle temperature and / or an out-vehicle temperature, and the vehicle includes an air conditioner and a heater.

[0134] Exemplarily, the first input is the operation of a user manually adjusting an air-conditioning button or knob, or the first input is voice input.

[0135] Optionally, the heater includes a contact heater and / or a radiation heater. For example, the contact heater may be the seat heating device, or the contact heater 2.1 and the contact heater 2.2. For another example, the radiation heater may be the radiation heater 3.1, the radiation heater 3.2 and the radiation heater 3.3.

[0136] S420: Control the air conditioner and the heater to operate according to the first input and the status information of the vehicle.

[0137] Optionally, the method 400 also includes: obtaining a first air outlet temperature and / or a first air outlet speed of the air conditioner according to the first heating parameter and the status information of the vehicle; and controlling the air conditioner and the heater to operate according to the first input and the status information of the vehicle, including: when a second input from the user is obtained, controlling the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner to be a second air outlet temperature and / or the air outlet speed to be a second air outlet speed, and controlling the heater to operate, the second input being an input for turning on the heater; wherein the second air outlet temperature is lower than the first air outlet temperature, and the second air outlet speed is lower than the first air outlet speed.

[0138] For example, the correspondence between the vehicle exterior temperature (or ambient temperature), the air-conditioning temperature set by the user, the vehicle interior temperature, and the air-conditioning outlet temperature can be shown in Table 1.

[0139] Table 1

[0140]

[0141] The above table is only for illustration and is not specifically limited in the present application. For example, the table 1 may also include the air outlet speed of the air conditioner.

[0142] With current technology, if the ambient temperature outside the vehicle is -7°C, the air-conditioning temperature set by the user is 28°C and the temperature inside the vehicle is -7°C, the vehicle can control the air-conditioning setting to Auto Hi for rapid heating. For example, the air outlet temperature of the air-conditioning can be increased to 50°C (corresponding to an air-conditioning heating power of 4kW).

[0143] Exemplarily, Table 2 shows the correspondence between the outside temperature (or ambient temperature), the air-conditioning temperature set by the user, the inside temperature, the air-conditioning outlet temperature, the temperature of the radiation heater, and the temperature of the contact heater provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0144] Table 2

[0145]

[0146] In the embodiment of the present application, there is a vehicle heating state A (all three heating devices are turned on). At this time, under the same conditions, the air outlet temperature / air conditioning heating power will be reduced to 40°C (the air conditioning heating power is 3kW) and the contact heater and the radiation heater are in the on state.

[0147] That is to say, when the contact heater and the radiation heater are turned on, the vehicle may control the air outlet temperature and air outlet speed of the air conditioner according to the corresponding relationship shown in Table 2 instead of the corresponding relationship shown in Table 1.

[0148] Specifically, compared with the existing technology, for example, in the existing technology, when the temperature outside the vehicle is -7°C, when the air conditioner is set to Auto Hi to quickly heat up (the initial ambient temperature inside the vehicle is close to -7°C), the air outlet temperature will rise to 50°C (the corresponding air conditioner heating power is 4kW). At this time, if the vehicle detects that the user has actively turned on the contact heater (such as seat heating) and the radiation heater (such as the interior heating plate), the vehicle can control the air outlet temperature (or heating power, etc.) of the air conditioner to decrease (for example, the air outlet temperature is reduced from 50°C to 40°C), so as to provide users with a comprehensive comfortable experience, reduce energy consumption, and avoid overheating, thereby providing users with a professional and relatively energy-efficient heating combination.

[0149] Figure 5 FIG. 5 shows a schematic flow chart of a control method 500 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the method 500 includes:

[0150] S510: It is detected that the air conditioner is turned on and the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner is 50° C. and the air outlet speed is level 4.

[0151] S520: Determine whether the user turns on the contact heater and / or the radiation heater.

[0152] If it is detected that the user turns on the contact heater and / or the radiant heater, then S530 is executed; otherwise, S540 is executed.

[0153] S530, when it is detected that the user has turned on the contact heater and / or the radiation heater, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner is controlled to decrease from 50°C to 40°C, and the air outlet speed of the air conditioner is controlled to decrease from level 4 to level 2.

[0154] S540: When it is not detected that the user turns on the contact heater and the radiation heater, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner continues to be maintained at 50° C. and the air outlet speed is at level 4.

[0155] Optionally, in step S520, if it is detected that the user has turned on the contact heater and not started the radiation heater, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner can be controlled to decrease from 50°C to 45°C, and the air outlet speed of the air conditioner can be controlled to decrease from level 4 to level 3.

[0156] Alternatively, if it is detected that the user has turned on the radiation heater and has not started the contact heater, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner can be controlled to decrease from 50°C to 45°C, and the air outlet speed of the air conditioner can be controlled to decrease from level 4 to level 3.

[0157] Optionally, the status information of the vehicle includes the outside temperature, and the air conditioner and the heater are controlled to operate according to the first input and the status information of the vehicle, including: when the outside temperature or the inside temperature is lower than a first preset temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the first input, and the heater is controlled to turn on.

[0158] Specifically, in comparison with the prior art, for example, when the ambient temperature outside the vehicle is -20°C, the user does not turn on the contact heater (such as seat heating) and the vehicle does not have a radiant heater. When the user sets the air conditioner to Auto Hi for rapid heating (the starting ambient temperature inside the vehicle is close to -20°C), the air outlet temperature will rise to 60°C (corresponding to an air conditioner heating power of 5kW), but the heating rate is slow and the energy consumption is high. In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle recognizes that the ambient temperature inside and outside the vehicle is low and the air conditioning system heats up slowly, and will actively turn on the contact heater (such as seat heating) and the radiant heater (such as the interior heating plate). At this time, the air outlet temperature (or heating power, etc.) of the air conditioner can remain unchanged, which can accelerate the heating rate of the cabin and allow users to achieve thermal comfort faster.

[0159] Figure 6 FIG. 6 is a schematic flow chart of a control method 600 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the method 600 includes:

[0160] S610: It is detected that the air conditioner is turned on, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner is 60°C, and the air outlet speed is level 5.

[0161] S620, determining whether the vehicle exterior temperature is less than or equal to -15°C.

[0162] If it is detected that the outside temperature is less than or equal to -15°C, then execute S630; otherwise, execute S640.

[0163] S630, when it is detected that the outside temperature is less than or equal to -15°C, the contact heater is controlled to be adjusted from the off state to the on state (for example, the contact heater temperature is 40°C) and the radiation heater is controlled to be adjusted from the off state to the on state (for example, the radiation heater temperature is 65°C).

[0164] Optionally, if it is detected that the temperature outside the vehicle is less than or equal to -20°C, the contact heater is controlled to be adjusted from the off state to the on state (for example, the contact heater temperature is 45°C) and the radiation heater is controlled to be adjusted from the off state to the on state (for example, the radiation heater temperature is 75°C).

[0165] Optionally, when it is detected that the temperature outside the vehicle is less than or equal to -15°C, the contact heater is controlled to be adjusted from the off state to the on state and the radiation heater is controlled to be adjusted from the off state to the on state. At the same time, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner can be controlled to be reduced from 60°C to 50°C, and the air outlet speed of the air conditioner can be controlled to be reduced from the 5th wind speed to the 4th wind speed.

[0166] S640: When the outside temperature is detected to be greater than -15°C, the contact heater and the radiation heater are kept off.

[0167] Optionally, the status information of the vehicle includes the temperature inside the vehicle, and the method 400 further includes: when the temperature inside the vehicle is greater than or equal to a second preset temperature, controlling the heater to turn off, or lowering a heating parameter of the heater.

[0168] Specifically, compared with the prior art, if the user turns on the air conditioner and the contact heater (such as seat heating) and the radiation heater (such as the interior heating plate) for a long time, the ambient temperature in the car will gradually rise to a comfortable temperature for the user or even overheat. For example, in the prior art, after the air conditioner is set to 28°C and the temperature rises quickly, the ambient temperature in the car can reach 20°C. At this time, the contact and radiation heaters maintain the original temperature / power value. In the embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle recognizes that the ambient temperature in the car is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature (for example, 15°C) or the user-set temperature, it can actively lower or turn off the contact heater (such as seat heating) and the radiation heater (such as the interior heating plate). At this time, the air outlet temperature (or heating power, etc.) of the air conditioner may not change, which can avoid users from feeling overheated and wasting energy.

[0169] Figure 7 FIG. 7 is a schematic flow chart of a control method 700 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the method 700 includes:

[0170] S710, it is detected that the air conditioner is turned on and the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner is 40°C, the air outlet speed is level 4, the temperature of the contact heater is 40°C, and the temperature of the radiation heater is 60°C.

[0171] S720, determine whether the temperature inside the vehicle is greater than or equal to 15°C.

[0172] If it is detected that the temperature inside the vehicle is greater than or equal to 15° C., then execute S730 ; otherwise, execute S740 .

[0173] S730: When it is detected that the temperature inside the vehicle is greater than 15° C., the temperature of the contact heater is lowered or the contact heater is turned off, and / or the temperature of the radiation heater is lowered or the radiation heater is turned off.

[0174] Optionally, the method 700 further includes: according to the difference between the vehicle interior temperature and 15°C, lowering the temperature of the contact heater and / or lowering the temperature of the radiation heater. For example, when the vehicle interior temperature rises to 15°C, the temperature of the contact heater is controlled to be lowered from 40°C to 38°C and the temperature of the radiation heater is controlled to be lowered from 60°C to 55°C; when the vehicle interior temperature rises to 18°C, the temperature of the contact heater is controlled to be lowered from 38°C to 35°C and the temperature of the radiation heater is controlled to be lowered from 55°C to 50°C.

[0175] Optionally, when it is detected that the temperature inside the vehicle is greater than or equal to 15°C, the contact heater is controlled to be adjusted from the on state to the off state and the radiation heater is controlled to be adjusted from the on state to the off state. At the same time, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner can be controlled to be reduced from 40°C to 35°C, and the air outlet speed of the air conditioner can be controlled to be reduced from the 4th wind speed to the 3rd wind speed.

[0176] S740, when it is detected that the temperature inside the vehicle is less than or equal to 15°C, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner continues to be maintained at 40°C, the air outlet speed is 4th wind speed, the temperature of the contact heater is 40°C, and the temperature of the radiation heater is 60°C.

[0177] The above methods 500 , 600 and 700 may be combined with each other.

[0178] Optionally, controlling the operation of the air conditioner and the heater according to the first input and the status information of the vehicle includes: controlling the operation of the air conditioner and the heater according to driving data of the vehicle, the first input and the status information of the vehicle, the driving data including remaining mileage and / or remaining driving time.

[0179] Optionally, the status information of the vehicle includes the temperature inside the vehicle and the temperature outside the vehicle, and the method further includes: obtaining a first air outlet temperature and / or a first air outlet speed of the air conditioner according to the first heating parameter and the status information of the vehicle; and controlling the air conditioner and / or the heater to operate according to the driving data of the vehicle, the first input and the status information of the vehicle, including: when the remaining mileage is less than or equal to a preset mileage and / or the remaining driving time is less than or equal to a preset time, controlling the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner to a third air outlet temperature and / or the air outlet speed to a third air outlet speed, and controlling the heater to operate; wherein the third air outlet temperature is lower than the first air outlet temperature, and the third air outlet speed is lower than the first air outlet speed.

[0180] Figure 8 FIG. 8 is a schematic flow chart of a control method 800 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method 800 may be Figure 1The method 800 may be performed by the vehicle 100 shown in the figure, or the method 800 may be performed by the computing platform 150, or the method 800 may be performed by a system consisting of the computing platform 150 and a sensor, or the method 800 may be performed by a SoC in the computing platform 150, or the method 800 may be performed by a processor or controller in the computing platform 150. The method 800 includes:

[0181] S810, obtaining a first input from a user and status information of a vehicle, wherein the first input is an input for setting a heating parameter of the air conditioner to a first heating parameter, and the status information of the vehicle includes an in-vehicle temperature and / or an out-vehicle temperature, and the first heating parameter and the status information of the vehicle correspond to a first air outlet temperature and / or a first air outlet speed of the air conditioner.

[0182] S820, when the mileage of the vehicle is less than or equal to the preset mileage and / or the remaining driving time of the vehicle is less than or equal to the preset time, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner is controlled to be a second air outlet temperature and / or the air outlet speed is controlled to operate at a second air outlet speed, and the heater is controlled to operate; wherein the second air outlet temperature is lower than the first air outlet temperature, and the second air outlet speed is lower than the first air outlet speed.

[0183] Specifically, in comparison with the prior art, for example, the vehicle may have a travel mileage / time prediction function or a user setting function. In the prior art, when the ambient temperature outside the vehicle is 5°C, after the user starts the vehicle and turns on the air conditioner, within the 15-minute journey, when the initial air conditioner is set to 24°C (the initial ambient temperature inside the vehicle is close to 5°C), the air outlet temperature will rise to 35°C (corresponding to an air conditioner heating power of 2.5kW), and the cabin preheating / heating is slow and the energy consumption is high. In the embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle's prediction function / user setting function recognizes that the driving time / mileage is 15min / 5km, the vehicle can predict and recommend turning on the contact heater (such as seat heating) and the radiant heater (such as an interior heating plate), and the air outlet temperature (or heating power, etc.) of the air conditioner is reduced or turned off, which provides users with a direct and fast heating experience while avoiding high energy consumption during cold start of the air conditioner.

[0184] Fig. 9 FIG. 9 is a schematic flow chart of a control method 900 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 9 As shown, the method 900 includes:

[0185] S910: Detecting that the user has turned on the air conditioner, and determining the remaining mileage of the vehicle.

[0186] For example, the remaining mileage and / or remaining driving time of the vehicle may be determined based on the destination information set by the user in the navigation application.

[0187] S920, determining whether the remaining mileage is less than or equal to a preset mileage.

[0188] For example, if the remaining mileage is less than or equal to 15 km, then execute S930; otherwise, execute S940.

[0189] S930: When it is detected that the remaining mileage is less than or equal to the preset mileage, the air outlet temperature and / or air outlet speed of the air conditioner is controlled to decrease, and the contact heater and the radiation heater are controlled to turn on.

[0190] Optionally, when it is detected that the remaining mileage is less than or equal to a preset mileage, the contact heater and the radiation heater are controlled to turn on, including: when it is detected that the remaining mileage is less than or equal to a preset mileage and the temperature outside the vehicle is less than a preset threshold, the air outlet temperature and / or air outlet speed of the air conditioner are controlled to decrease, and the contact heater and the radiation heater are controlled to turn on.

[0191] S940, when it is detected that the remaining mileage is greater than the preset mileage, the air outlet temperature and / or air outlet speed of the air conditioner is controlled to remain unchanged, and the contact heater and the radiation heater are controlled to be in an off state.

[0192] The above method 900 is described by taking the remaining driving mileage as an example, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, the remaining driving time may also be used for judgment. For example, S920 may also be used to judge whether the remaining driving time is less than or equal to a preset time (for example, 5 minutes). When the remaining driving time is less than or equal to 5 minutes, the air outlet temperature and / or air outlet speed of the air conditioner may be controlled to decrease, and the contact heater and the radiation heater may be controlled to be turned on.

[0193] The above vehicles can provide users with the function option of automatically turning on the contact heater and the radiant heater. For example, when it is detected that the user has turned on this function, when the remaining mileage is less than the preset mileage, the contact heater and the radiant heater can be automatically turned on at the same time as the air conditioner is turned on.

[0194] For another example, when it is detected that the remaining mileage is less than a preset mileage, the user may be prompted to turn on the contact heater and / or the radiant heater. When an input from the user to turn on the contact heater and the radiant heater is detected, the vehicle may turn on the contact heater and the radiant heater while turning on the air conditioner.

The method 1000 includes:

[0196] S1010, obtaining a position relationship between the user and the radiation heater.

[0197] S1020: Control the temperature of the radiation heater according to the positional relationship.

[0201] Specifically, compared with the prior art, for example, the vehicle can have the function of recognizing the folding / unfolding state of the seat, or the cockpit can recognize the user's posture and action through the camera to predict the distance between the heating film and the human body. The leg rest part of the seat has a heater, and the distance between the heater and the human body will change under different postures of the seat and the human body. In the embodiment of the present application, when it is recognized that the leg rest of the seat changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, the controller will predict that the distance between the heating film and the human body is less than the first preset distance (for example, 1 cm). At this time, the temperature / power / gear of the heater will be changed (for example, the self-radiation heater is adjusted from 65°C to the contact heater is adjusted from 40°C), so as to avoid the discomfort caused by high temperature contact with the human body; and when the user's human body is too far away from the radiation heating film due to the front and rear adjustment of the seat, the placement of the hands, head and legs, or the personal height, the cockpit can predict the distance as d through camera image recognition and visual algorithm. When d is greater than the second preset distance (for example, 20 cm), the controller will change the temperature / power / gear of the radiation heater (for example, the radiation heating temperature is adjusted from 60°C to 70°C), so as to ensure a comfortable heating effect at a longer distance.

If the contact heater and the radiation heater are turned on, the first temperature is -7°C and the second temperature is -7°C, the vehicle can control the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner to drop from 50°C to 40°C.

[0241] When it is detected that the user turns on the air conditioner and sets it to Auto, the vehicle can obtain the air outlet temperature (e.g., 50°C) and air volume level (e.g., level 4) of the air conditioner. If the contact heater and the radiant heater are turned on, the first temperature is -7°C and the second temperature is -7°C, the vehicle can control the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner to drop from 50°C to 40°C and the air volume level to drop from level 4 to level 3, or the vehicle can control the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner to remain unchanged and drop the air volume level from level 4 to level 3.

If the contact heater and the radiant heater are in the off state at this time, when the first temperature is 0°C and the second temperature is 0°C, the vehicle can control the radiant heater to automatically turn on and the contact heater to be in the off state.

[0251] For example, when the user turns on the air conditioner (for example, the user turns on the air conditioner and sets the air conditioner to Auto), the vehicle can obtain the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner (for example, 50°C), the first temperature information, and the state of the heater. If the contact heater and the radiant heater are in the off state at this time, when the first temperature is 10°C and the second temperature is 10°C, the vehicle can control the contact heater to automatically turn on and the radiant heater to be in the off state.

[0262] The fourth temperature may be a preset temperature (eg, 15° C.) or a temperature set by a user (eg, 24° C.).

[0263] For example, after the air conditioner, the radiant heater and the contact heater are turned on, the vehicle can detect the temperature in the cabin.
