[0027] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] The following describes the method and device for autonomously prompting the functions of automobile steering wheel buttons according to embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Figure 1 The present invention is a flowchart of a method for autonomously prompting car steering wheel button functions provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for autonomously prompting the function of a car steering wheel button comprises the following steps:

[0031] In step S101 , the control requirement of the current user is identified.

[0032] In some embodiments, the control requirement is to turn on or off a key prompt switch.

[0033] In the actual implementation process, Figure 2 As shown, after the car computer is started, the key prompt service is started. The key prompt service identifies whether the user turns on the prompt function switch (i.e., the key prompt switch). If it is turned on, the key prompt service is required. Otherwise, if it is turned off, no key prompt is performed.

[0034] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, there are two processing methods for turning on or off the button prompt switch: vehicle setting auxiliary setting ITEM and voice setting switch. When the setting is turned off, the number of button prompts controlled by the owner is cleared and the non-owner data information is removed.

[0035] When the settings are turned off, the number of owner-side control button prompts will be cleared, and non-owner data information will be removed from data control.

[0036] In step S102, based on the control requirements, the key mastering data of the current user is identified.

[0037] In some embodiments, based on the control requirements, identifying the key mastering data of the current user includes:

[0038] When the control requirement is to turn off the button prompt switch, no reminder will be given for the button function;

[0039] When the control requirement is to turn on the button prompt switch, identify whether the current user is the car owner. If the current user is the car owner, retrieve the car owner's button master data. Otherwise, search whether the current user is an existing temporary driver. If the current user is an existing temporary driver, retrieve the existing temporary driver's button master data. Otherwise, add new user information.

[0040] In the actual implementation process, Figure 2As shown, when the control requirement is to turn on the button prompt switch, the face of the current user is detected to determine whether he is the car owner. If the current user is the car owner, the car owner's button master data is retrieved. If not, it is detected whether the current user's information has been saved in the pre-built database (that is, the temporary driver information). If the current user is an existing temporary driver, the button master data of the existing temporary driver is retrieved. If not, the current user's information is added.

[0041] In step S103, it is determined whether it is necessary to provide the current user with a corresponding key prompt service based on the key mastering data. If it is necessary to provide the current user with a corresponding key prompt service, the corresponding control voice broadcast and the party control key prompt are dispatched.

[0042] In some embodiments, whether it is necessary to provide a corresponding key prompt service to the current user is determined based on the key master data. If it is necessary to provide a corresponding key prompt service to the current user, the corresponding control voice broadcast and the party control key prompt are dispatched, including:

[0043] Determine whether the current key press prompt exceeds the preset number of times according to the key press mastering data;

[0044] If the preset number of times is exceeded, there is no need to provide the corresponding key prompt service to the current user, and the current key prompt reminder will be ignored. Otherwise, the corresponding key prompt service needs to be provided to the current user, and the control voice broadcast and square control key prompt of the current key prompt will be scheduled.

[0045] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0046] According to the square control button prompt, a CAN signal is sent to the corresponding square control button background light, causing the corresponding square control button background light to flash.

[0047] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0048] After the current user performs corresponding key operations according to the control voice broadcast and the square control key prompt, the key mastering data of the current user is updated.

[0049] In the actual implementation process, Figure 2 As shown, when an event in which the steering wheel can be operated occurs, it is determined based on the button master data whether the current button prompt exceeds the preset number of times, for example 3 times. If it exceeds 3 times, this button prompt is ignored. If it does not exceed 3 times, it is necessary to provide the current user with the corresponding button prompt service, schedule the control voice broadcast of the current button prompt and the square control button prompt, and send a CAN signal to the corresponding square control button background light according to the square control button prompt, so that the corresponding square control button background light flashes to prompt the user.

[0050] Furthermore, after the current user performs a corresponding key operation according to the control voice broadcast and the square control key prompt, the number of prompts for the current key is increased by one and updated to the key mastering data of the current user.

[0051] In addition, if Figure 4 As shown, the current user can also actively call up the button prompt service through voice settings, such as calling up the voice "steering wheel button function learning". After the button prompt service is received, the voice prompt is "You can say 'full function learning', 'call answering', 'call rejection', 'HUD adjustment', 'rearview mirror adjustment'", etc. The current user voice replies to full function learning or a certain function learning, and determines whether the function learning is supported. If supported, the learning process is carried out, the steering wheel functions are broadcast in sequence, and the corresponding party control button background light CAN signal is sent. The steering wheel button background light flashes to remind the user that the button is the target function button, otherwise it is prompted that the steering wheel does not support the function operation.

[0052] In summary, according to the method for autonomous prompting of the functions of car steering wheel buttons proposed in an embodiment of the present invention, users can easily master the use of steering wheel buttons through cockpit prompts without frequently checking instructions or operating guides, thereby reducing the complexity of operation and the troubles caused by improper operation of steering wheel buttons, making the driving process smoother and more comfortable.

[0053] Next, the device for automatically prompting the functions of automobile steering wheel buttons according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Figure 5 The invention is a block diagram of a device for automatically prompting the functions of car steering wheel buttons according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, the car steering wheel button function autonomous prompt device 50 includes: a demand recognition module 501, an identity recognition module 502, a scheduling control module 503, a learning memory storage module 504 and a button prompt control module 505.

[0056] Among them, the demand identification module 501 is used to identify the control demand of the current user. The identity recognition module 502 is used to identify the key mastering data of the current user based on the control demand. The scheduling control module 503 is used to determine whether it is necessary to provide the current user with the corresponding key prompt service according to the key mastering data. If it is necessary to provide the current user with the corresponding key prompt service, the corresponding control voice broadcast and square control key prompt are scheduled. The learning memory storage module 504 is used to update the key mastering data of the current user after the current user performs the corresponding key operation according to the control voice broadcast and the square control key prompt. The key prompt control module 505 is used to send a CAN signal to the corresponding square control key background light according to the square control key prompt, so that the corresponding square control key background light flashes.

[0057] In some embodiments, the demand identification module 501 is used to identify the current user's control demand and broadcast function reminders.

[0058] In some embodiments, the identity recognition module 502 is used to identify the identity information of the vehicle owner and the temporary driver, so as to actively provide the dispatch control module 503 with a basis for determining the prompt service.

[0059] In some embodiments, the scheduling control module 503 includes:

[0060] User active learning unit, used to schedule and control voice broadcast and button prompts according to learning content;

[0061] The intelligent prompt service unit is used to extract the user information and mastery status of the learning and memory module 504 through the identity recognition module 502, determine whether it is necessary to provide key prompt service to the current user, and schedule control voice broadcast and square control key prompt.

[0062] In some embodiments, the learning memory storage module 504 is used to store the vehicle owner and temporary actual identity information, and save and remember user prompt information as a basis for the user to learn and master.

[0063] In some embodiments, the button prompt control module 505 is used to send a signal corresponding to the square control button background light to the square control for processing via CAN.

[0064] It should be noted that the above explanation of the embodiment of the method for autonomously prompting the functions of automobile steering wheel buttons is also applicable to the autonomously prompting device for the functions of automobile steering wheel buttons of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0065] According to the autonomous prompt device for the functions of automobile steering wheel buttons proposed in an embodiment of the present invention, the user can easily master the use of the steering wheel buttons through the cockpit prompts without frequently checking the instruction manual or operating guide, thereby reducing the complexity of operation and the troubles caused by improper operation of the steering wheel buttons, making the driving process smoother and more comfortable.
