[0002] Currently, cars on the market use high and low beam headlights to meet customers' needs for nighttime visibility, enabling them to operate in dark environments such as underground parking spaces. However, in such scenarios, the poor visibility around the vehicle often makes it difficult to find the car and locate its approximate parking position quickly, wasting valuable time and creating a poor user experience. Secondly, in relatively dim and confined spaces, small obstacles or animals around the vehicle are not easily noticed by the driver, especially when starting the vehicle. Due to limited visibility or other factors, these obstacles or animals may pose a safety hazard to the driver. Summary of the Invention

[0053] First, to facilitate understanding of the nighttime vehicle parking lighting assistance method provided in this application, its application scenario is briefly explained. For parked vehicles, the environment in which the vehicles are parked is relatively dark, such as in a parking lot, making it very inconvenient for drivers to find their vehicles. Currently, for high-end parking lots, the parking lot lighting assistance system can guide drivers to quickly find the parking location of their vehicles. However, due to cost limitations, most parking lots do not install lighting assistance systems. In reality, most drivers rely on turning the car key, listening to the sound, and visually locating the approximate position of their vehicle to find it. This method is inefficient, especially in large cities where parking lots are spacious with significant blind spots. Furthermore, the large size of the parking spaces, the numerous walls, and the winding roads can easily disorient drivers unfamiliar with the area, leading to disorientation and even directional difficulties. This makes it difficult to find the vehicle quickly, resulting in a poor user experience. Secondly, the large size of these parking spaces, especially in dimly lit areas, makes it easy for unfamiliar drivers to miss or fail to clearly observe obstacles or small animals around the vehicle. This limited visibility or other factors can create safety hazards if the vehicle is not moved in time during the starting process.

[0054] Based on the above, this application provides a method for assisting vehicle lighting at night to solve the problems existing in the above scenario. The technical solution provided by this application will be further described in detail below with reference to Embodiment 1.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a method for assisting vehicle lighting at night, which includes the following steps:

[0057] S1: In response to the unlock request, obtain the location information of the target user and the target vehicle, and generate the first trigger command;

[0058] S2: Based on the generated first trigger command, generate a navigation display interface; wherein, the navigation display interface includes at least a first interface and a second interface;

[0059] S3: Obtain the initial distance between the target user and the target vehicle;

[0060] S4: Based on the difference between the first distance and the preset distance, and according to the lighting control strategy, output the corresponding control command;

[0061] S5: Control the vehicle lights according to control commands.

[0062] Specifically, this application generates a first trigger command in response to a vehicle unlocking request and based on the location information of the target user and the target vehicle; generates a navigation display interface through the first trigger command; and, through the navigation display interface and in conjunction with the vehicle's lighting control, helps the driver to initially obtain the approximate location of the vehicle and helps the driver to observe the surrounding environment in advance to avoid potential safety hazards during vehicle start-up in poor lighting or dimly lit parking environments; furthermore, by using the distance between the target user and the target vehicle and through a lighting control strategy in conjunction with lighting control, the application can quickly guide the driver to find the vehicle's parking location.

[0063] In one specific embodiment,

[0064] Step S2 specifically includes: sending a first interface instruction and a second interface instruction to at least one mobile terminal according to the first trigger instruction;

[0065] Based on the instructions of the first interface, the first interface is generated; the first interface is used to display the relative displacement between the target user and the target vehicle.

[0066] Based on the instructions in the second interface, a second interface is generated; in the second interface, the user is shown the environment around the target vehicle.

[0067] Specifically, this application triggers the generation of a navigation display interface corresponding to at least one mobile terminal (e.g., mobile phone) of a target user through a first triggering instruction; wherein, the navigation display interface includes a first interface and a second interface; through the first interface, the user can obtain their relative position relative to the vehicle; through the second interface, the user can obtain the environmental conditions around the vehicle.

[0068] In one specific embodiment, the second interface is generated based on the second interface instruction; the second interface displays the environment around the target vehicle to the user, specifically including:

[0069] Obtain the illumination values ​​around the target vehicle;

[0070] Based on the judgment result of the illumination value and the preset value, the ambient light level around the target vehicle is obtained;

[0071] Based on the comparison between the ambient light level around the target vehicle and the preset level, the corresponding lighting control command is output.

[0072] Specifically, to help users accurately observe the vehicle's surroundings, the system compares and judges the ambient light levels around the vehicle, and then takes corresponding lighting control commands. In this way, while considering the conservation of vehicle resources, it can minimize the use of those resources, such as saving vehicle electricity.

[0073] In one specific embodiment, based on a comparison between the ambient light level of the target vehicle and a preset level, a corresponding lighting control command is output, specifically including:

[0074] When the ambient light level of the target vehicle is less than or equal to a preset level, a first lighting command is output.

[0075] Based on a first lighting command, the vehicle lighting assembly is controlled to illuminate in a first mode; the vehicle lighting assembly includes at least: headlights, side marker lights, and taillights.

[0076] When the ambient light level of the target vehicle is greater than the preset level, a second lighting control command is output.

[0077] Based on the second lighting command, the vehicle headlight assembly is controlled to illuminate in the second mode.

[0078] Furthermore, based on the pre-established mapping relationship between light and darkness levels and illumination duration and brightness, the illumination duration and illumination mode of each vehicle light are obtained.

[0079] The system controls the illumination of the headlight components according to the illumination duration and illumination mode of each headlight.

[0080] Specifically, this application controls the illumination of the vehicle headlight components based on the ambient light level, thereby enabling accurate acquisition of the environmental conditions around the vehicle.

[0081] For example, when the ambient light level is less than 4, the brightness level is low by controlling the low beam headlights to be continuously lit for 3 seconds and the side marker lights to be continuously lit for 5 seconds, so that the user can clearly observe the environment around the vehicle; when the ambient light level is greater than 6, the brightness level is high by controlling the high beam headlights to be continuously lit for 5 seconds, the side marker lights to be continuously lit for 6 seconds, and the taillights to be continuously lit for 5 seconds.

[0082] Furthermore, it also includes the following steps:

[0083] Real-time acquisition of image information surrounding the target vehicle;

[0084] Extract information about the target object from the image information;

[0085] When the comparison value between the target object and the preset database is greater than the first similarity value, the target object is marked in a prominent manner on the second interface, and a voice prompt is triggered.

[0086] It is understood that this application takes into account the ambient light level around the vehicle and takes corresponding lighting instructions. Based on the image processing algorithm, it analyzes whether there are any targets around the vehicle and prompts the driver to pay attention through voice, so as to avoid safety hazards caused by failure to avoid targets in time when the vehicle starts.

[0087] Specifically, the target object in this embodiment can be a small animal such as a cat or dog, or a small obstacle that affects the starting of the vehicle.

[0088] In a specific embodiment, step S3 specifically includes:

[0089] When the first distance to the target vehicle is greater than or equal to the first preset distance, the first control command is output;

[0090] Based on the first control command, the first vibration frequency of the mobile terminal is obtained;

[0091] In response to the first vibration frequency of the mobile terminal, the target vehicle is synchronously controlled to sound its horn at the first vibration frequency, and the first unit time of generating the target vehicle is triggered.

[0092] The target vehicle's lights are turned on synchronously, using the first unit of time of the target vehicle as the interval.

[0093] Specifically, in this embodiment, the vibration frequency of the matching mobile terminal is obtained based on the distance change between the target vehicle and the target user, and this vibration frequency is used as the vehicle's horn frequency. Secondly, the lights are controlled to be turned on a preset number of times based on the distance change between the target user and the vehicle.

[0094] For example, when the driver is 40 meters away from the vehicle (greater than the first preset distance of 30 meters), the mobile terminal vibrates at a frequency of 30 times / min, the vehicle sounds its horn approximately 30 times per minute, and the parking lights are turned on 5 times every 10 seconds.

[0095] Furthermore, step S3 specifically includes:

[0096] When the first distance to the target vehicle is less than the first preset distance and greater than or equal to the second distance, a second control command is output; based on the second control command, the second vibration frequency of the mobile terminal is obtained; wherein, the second vibration frequency is greater than the first vibration frequency;

[0097] In response to the second vibration frequency of the mobile terminal, the target vehicle is synchronously controlled to sound its horn at the second vibration frequency, and the second unit time of the target vehicle is triggered to be generated; wherein, the second unit time is less than the first unit time;

[0098] Using the second unit of time of the target vehicle as the interval, the target vehicle's lights are turned on synchronously.

[0099] It is understandable that as the distance between the driver and the vehicle decreases, increasing the vibration frequency of the mobile terminal, the horn frequency of the target vehicle, and the number of times the parking lights are turned on can guide the driver to quickly find the vehicle's parking location. The advantage of this design is that regardless of whether the view is obstructed by walls in the parking space, the driver can directly and accurately judge the location and distance of the destination. Moreover, this method further avoids situations where the driver's view is obstructed or they become disoriented due to large parking spaces, complex parking lot layouts, or numerous walls, making it difficult to quickly find the vehicle's parking location. In practice, this application greatly enhances the user experience, brings positive emotional feelings to users, and further improves user satisfaction.
