[0058] In addition, in the description of the present application specification and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0059] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in the specification of this application mean that one or more embodiments of the present application include specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment. Therefore, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in some other embodiments", "in some other embodiments", etc. that appear in different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways.

[0060] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present application, the following embodiments are used for illustration.

[0061] See also Figure 1 , the embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle welcoming control method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle welcome control method may include the following steps 101 to 103.

[0062] Step 101, when detecting that a smart key enters a welcome area of ​​a vehicle, obtaining location information of the smart key.

[0063] The above-mentioned welcome area is usually an area where the vehicle can detect the smart key. In practical applications, the above-mentioned welcome area can be an area within 8-10 meters from the vehicle.

[0064] The smart key may be implemented as a Bluetooth key, an ultra-wideband key (Ultra Wide Band, UWB), etc. This embodiment does not specifically limit the implementation form of the smart key.

[0065] In practice, the smart key is usually a smart car key used in conjunction with the vehicle, that is, a legal smart car key. It is understandable that the vehicle will not respond to an illegal smart key, that is, when an illegal smart key is detected entering the welcome area, the vehicle will not perform the operations of step 101 to step 103.

[0066] In this embodiment, the execution subject of the above-mentioned vehicle welcome control method is usually a vehicle, and specifically may be a body controller in the vehicle.

[0067] In actual applications, the vehicle may be installed with a Passive Entry Passive Start system (PEPS) and a Bluetooth system, and may also be installed with other systems for detecting and identifying smart car keys. The vehicle can detect the smart key entering the welcome area through the PEPS system or the Bluetooth system, and identify whether the smart key is legal. Specifically, if it is a legal smart key, the vehicle can respond to the smart key. In practice, when a legal smart key is in the welcome area, the vehicle can obtain the real-time location information of the smart key through the PEPS system or the Bluetooth system or other systems for detecting and identifying smart car keys. Afterwards, the vehicle can determine the movement trend of the smart key by analyzing the real-time location information of the smart key.

[0068] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the area division of the reception area provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2In the figure, the rectangular area in the middle is the vehicle, and the entire welcoming area of ​​the vehicle can be divided into four areas, namely the left area, the right area, the front area and the rear area. Among them, the left area can include area 9, area 5 and area 1 from far to near the vehicle. The right area can include area 10, area 6 and area 2 from far to near the vehicle. The front area can include area 12, area 8 and area 4 from far to near the vehicle. The rear area can include area 11, area 7 and area 3 from far to near the vehicle.

[0069] Combination Figure 2 For the convenience of description, in some application scenarios, the area formed by area 1, area 2, area 3, and area 4 can be called the first welcome area, the area formed by area 5, area 6, area 7, and area 8 can be called the second welcome area, and the area formed by area 9, area 10, area 11, and area 12 can be called the third welcome area.

[0070] Step 102, obtaining vehicle usage environment information of the vehicle, and determining a target welcoming mode that is compatible with the vehicle usage environment information.

[0071] The above vehicle use environment information is usually used to describe the vehicle use environment. In practice, the vehicle use environment information may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: light information, rainfall information, in-vehicle temperature information, and tire information. The above light information is used to indicate the light intensity. The above rainfall information is used to indicate the amount of rainfall. The above in-vehicle temperature information is used to indicate the in-vehicle temperature. The above tire information is usually used to indicate tire pressure, wherein tire pressure is usually the pressure of the air inside the tire.

[0072] Among them, the above-mentioned target welcome mode is usually a welcome mode that is adapted to the vehicle environment information. In practice, the welcome mode may include but is not limited to: horn welcome mode, headlight welcome mode, wiper welcome mode, window welcome mode. It is understandable that the above-mentioned target welcome mode may include one welcome mode, or may include multiple welcome modes at the same time. For example, it may include a horn welcome mode and a wiper welcome mode at the same time. For another example, it may include a headlight welcome mode and a wiper welcome mode at the same time. In other words, the vehicle can welcome guests in multiple welcome modes at the same time, and the welcoming method is flexible, which helps to further enhance the vehicle's welcome effect and improve the user experience.

[0073] In this embodiment, the vehicle can obtain the above vehicle environment information through sensors installed on the vehicle. For example, the light intensity can be obtained through a light sensor, the rainfall can be obtained through a rain sensor, the temperature inside the vehicle can be obtained through a temperature sensor, the tire pressure can be obtained through a pressure sensor, and so on.

[0074] After obtaining the vehicle use environment information, the vehicle can use the vehicle use environment information to determine the target welcome mode. For example, if the vehicle use environment information indicates that it is currently raining, the vehicle can determine that the target welcome mode is a wiper welcome mode, so that the wipers can wipe off the rain on the windshield before the user enters the vehicle, so that the user can quickly activate the vehicle as soon as he enters the vehicle, thereby improving the user's travel efficiency and helping to further improve the user experience.

[0075] Step 103 , determining a target device and a welcoming operation of the target device according to the movement trend of the smart key and the target welcoming mode, and controlling the target device to perform the welcoming operation.

[0076] The vehicle can obtain the movement trend of the smart key by analyzing the location information of the smart key at different times. For example, the movement trend can be entering area 9 or moving from area 9 to area 5.

[0077] After obtaining the movement trend of the smart key, the vehicle can determine the target device currently suitable for welcoming guests and the specific welcoming operation that the target device needs to perform based on the movement trend of the smart key and the current target welcoming mode.

[0078] As an example, if the target welcome mode is a wiper welcome mode, the target device may be a wiper, and the welcome operation of the wiper may be to wipe the rain at a wiping speed. The wiping speed may be a fixed speed value or a speed value that varies with the target distance. The target distance is usually the distance between the smart key and the vehicle.

[0079] In practice, when the wiping speed is implemented as a speed value that varies with the target distance, the wiping speed is usually inversely correlated with the target distance. That is, the larger the target distance, the smaller the wiping speed, and conversely, the smaller the target distance, the greater the wiping speed. The closer the user is to the vehicle, the greater the wiping speed of the wiper, which can provide better transparency at the windshield when the user gets on the vehicle, helping to further enhance the vehicle's welcoming effect and improve the user experience. In addition, when the wiping speed is implemented as a fixed speed value, the wiping speed is usually positively correlated with the amount of rainfall, that is, the greater the rainfall, the greater the wiping speed.

[0080] After obtaining the target device and the welcoming operation of the target device, the vehicle can directly control the target device to perform the welcoming operation. For example, the vehicle can send an instruction to the target device in the vehicle to control the target device to perform the welcoming operation, wherein the instruction is used to instruct the target device to perform the welcoming operation.

[0081] The vehicle welcome control method provided in this embodiment can first determine a welcome mode that is compatible with the vehicle usage environment information when the vehicle is in the welcome area. Thereafter, in the welcome mode, the target device currently suitable for welcoming guests and the specific welcome operation to be performed by the target device can be determined in combination with the movement trend of the smart key. This can enable the vehicle to flexibly and proactively welcome guests, help enhance the vehicle's welcome effect, and improve the user experience.

[0082] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the vehicle may include a sensing device and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), wherein the sensing device includes a light sensor, a rain sensor, and a temperature sensor.

[0083] In some embodiments, the sensing device may be implemented as a rain light sensor. In practical applications, the rain light sensor may be integrated with multiple sensors, such as a temperature sensor, a rain sensor, a light sensor, etc. In practice, the rain light sensor may be fixedly installed at the windshield position in the vehicle, such as the front windshield position in the vehicle, or the rear windshield position in the vehicle.

[0084] In some application scenarios, the rain light sensor can directly transmit the data collected by the sensors integrated therein to the vehicle body controller, or it can process the data collected by the sensor and then transmit it to the vehicle body controller. For further example, the rain light sensor can directly transmit the rainfall information collected by the rain sensor to the vehicle body controller, or the rain light sensor can first use the rainfall information collected by the rain sensor to find the corresponding control instruction, and then transmit the control instruction to the vehicle body controller. In practice, the above control instruction can be an instruction indicating the wiper action speed, and the wiper action speed can include wiper no action, wiper low speed, wiper medium speed, wiper high speed, etc.

[0085] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the vehicle can obtain the vehicle's use environment information in the following ways: obtaining light information, rainfall information and in-vehicle temperature information from a sensing device, and obtaining tire information of each tire from a tire pressure monitoring system.

[0086] Here, when the sensing device is a rain and light sensor, the vehicle can obtain vehicle environment information through its existing equipment without changing the structure of the vehicle itself, which can make the entire solution easy to implement, help save R&D costs, and improve the R&D efficiency of R&D personnel.

[0087] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the vehicle determines a target welcome mode that is compatible with the vehicle usage environment information, including: when the light information indicates that the light brightness is greater than a first brightness threshold, the target welcome mode includes a horn welcome mode.

[0088] The first brightness threshold is usually a preset brightness value.

[0089] The above-mentioned horn welcoming mode is usually a mode of using a horn to welcome guests. It should be noted that the horn mentioned in this embodiment can be a warning horn on a vehicle, or can be other audio playback devices.

[0090] Here, when the light brightness is greater than the first brightness threshold, it usually means that the light outside the vehicle is relatively strong. At this time, when the light is used to welcome guests, the user is likely not to perceive the change in the light. Therefore, welcoming guests by horn can enhance the welcoming effect and improve the user experience.

[0091] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the vehicle determines a target welcome mode that is compatible with the vehicle usage environment information, further comprising: when the light information indicates that the light brightness is less than a second brightness threshold, the target welcome mode includes a headlight welcome mode.

[0092] The second brightness threshold is usually a preset brightness value. In practice, the second brightness threshold may be the same as the first brightness threshold or different from the first brightness threshold. In some application scenarios, the second brightness threshold may be smaller than the first brightness threshold.

[0093] The above-mentioned vehicle light welcoming mode is usually a mode of using vehicle lights to welcome guests. In practice, the above-mentioned vehicle lights usually include vehicle headlights. It can be understood that the above-mentioned vehicle lights can also include other vehicle lights on the vehicle.

[0094] Here, when the light brightness is less than the second brightness threshold, it usually means that the light outside the vehicle is not strong. For example, it may be dark or the light is dim. At this time, the user can fully perceive the changes in light by welcoming guests with lights, and can greet guests with lights. This can both enhance the welcoming effect and reduce the noise interference caused by the horn, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0095] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the vehicle determines a target welcome mode that is compatible with the vehicle usage environment information, further comprising: when the rainfall information indicates that it is raining, the target welcome mode includes a wiper welcome mode.

[0096] Among them, the above-mentioned wiper welcoming mode is usually a mode of using wipers to welcome guests.

[0097] Here, when it is raining, the windshield wipers can be used to welcome guests. When the user gets on the car, the windshield has better transparency, which helps to further enhance the vehicle's welcoming effect and improve the user experience.

[0098] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the vehicle determines a target welcome mode that is compatible with the vehicle usage environment information, and also includes: when the rainfall information indicates that it is not raining and the in-vehicle temperature information indicates that the in-vehicle temperature is greater than a preset temperature threshold, the target welcome mode includes a window welcome mode.

[0099] The preset temperature threshold is usually a preset temperature value, such as 32 degrees, 35 degrees, etc.

[0100] Among them, the above-mentioned car window welcoming mode is usually a mode of using car windows to welcome guests.

[0101] Here, when the temperature inside the car is high, welcoming guests through the car windows can effectively lower the temperature inside the car before the user enters the car, which helps to improve the user's comfort when entering the car, thereby improving the user's car experience.

[0102] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the vehicle determines the target device and the welcoming operation of the target device according to the movement trend of the smart key and the target welcoming mode, including: when the target welcoming mode includes a horn welcoming mode, the sound volume and sound frequency of the horn in the vehicle are determined according to the movement trend and the presence of abnormal tires. The horn is determined as the target device, and the welcoming operation corresponding to the horn is determined to work according to the sound frequency and sound volume.

[0103] The sound frequency when there is an abnormal tire is different from the sound frequency when there is no abnormal tire. In practice, the above sound frequency can be only once in the entire welcoming mode, or several times in the entire welcoming process, or several times per second, for example, once. The sound frequency of the horn is different in the two cases of abnormal tire presence and absence, which can promptly remind the user whether there is an abnormal tire.

[0104] The above-mentioned abnormal tire usually refers to a tire with abnormal tire pressure. The above-mentioned abnormal tire pressure usually refers to a tire pressure that does not belong to the preset tire pressure range. In practice, if the tire pressure of a certain tire is greater than the upper limit of the tire pressure range, it means that the tire is abnormal, and if the tire pressure of a certain tire is less than the lower limit of the tire pressure range, it means that the tire is abnormal.

[0105] In actual applications, the sound volume can be a fixed volume value, for example, it can be 50% of the normal volume of the horn, or it can be a volume value that varies with the target distance. Among them, the target distance is usually the distance between the smart key and the vehicle. In some application scenarios, when the sound volume is implemented as a volume value that varies with the target distance, the sound volume can be positively correlated with the target distance. That is, the greater the target distance, the louder the sound volume, and conversely, the smaller the target distance, the smaller the sound volume. The farther the user is from the vehicle, the louder the sound volume of the horn is, which helps the user perceive the sound emitted by the horn, can enhance the vehicle's welcoming effect, and improve the user experience.

[0106] Here, the vehicle can obtain the tire pressure information of each tire, so as to determine whether the tire pressure of each tire is abnormal, so as to know whether there is an abnormal tire and the location of the abnormal tire.

[0107] In practice, in the horn welcoming mode, when there is no abnormal tire, the vehicle can determine that the horn's sound volume is 50% of the normal volume, and the sound frequency is once for the entire welcoming process. When there is an abnormal tire, the vehicle can determine that the horn's sound volume is 50% of the normal volume, and the sound frequency is several times per second, for example, 2 times, and the sound is for several seconds, such as 3 seconds. It should be noted that the vehicle can control the horn's sound volume by controlling the duty cycle output to the horn.

[0108] It should be noted that, in the case where there is no abnormal tire, the horn sounds at one frequency, for example, the horn sounds only once during the entire welcoming process, and in the case where there is an abnormal tire, the horn sounds at another frequency, for example, the horn sounds at a frequency of 2 times per second and for 3 seconds. In this embodiment, different sounds are made for the presence and absence of abnormal tires, which can timely remind the user whether there is an abnormal tire at present, and help to further improve the user experience.

[0109] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the vehicle determines the target device and the welcoming operation of the target device according to the movement trend of the smart key and the target welcoming mode, including: when the target welcoming mode includes the headlight welcoming mode, determining the target headlight and the light brightness of the target headlight according to the movement trend and the position of the abnormal tire. Determining the first headlight and the second headlight as the target device, and determining the welcoming operation corresponding to the first headlight to operate according to the light brightness and the preset lighting frequency, and determining the welcoming operation corresponding to the second headlight to continuously light up according to the light brightness.

[0110] Among them, the target headlights include: a first headlight whose tire distance with the abnormal tire meets a first preset distance condition, and a second headlight whose key distance with the smart key meets a second preset distance condition, and the light brightness of the target headlight is inversely correlated with the key distance.

[0111] The first headlight is usually a headlight that meets the first preset distance condition. The second headlight is usually a headlight that meets the second preset distance condition.

[0112] The tire distance is usually the distance between the headlight and the abnormal tire. The key distance is usually the distance between the headlight and the smart key. The target distance usually refers to the distance between the smart key and the vehicle, and can also be understood as the distance between the center of the vehicle and the smart key.

[0113] The first preset distance condition is usually a pre-set condition for selecting a headlight. As an example, the first preset distance condition may be selecting the headlight closest to the abnormal tire.

[0114] The second preset distance condition is usually a condition for selecting a headlight in advance. As an example, the second preset distance condition may be selecting a headlight in the same area as the smart key. Figure 2 If the smart key is in the left area of ​​the vehicle, you can select the left front light and left rear light on the vehicle.

[0115] The light brightness is usually inversely correlated with the key distance, that is, the greater the key distance, the smaller the light brightness, and vice versa, the smaller the key distance, the greater the light brightness, which can provide a better welcoming effect.

[0116] Combination Figure 2 For the convenience of description, in some application scenarios, the area formed by area 1, area 2, area 3, and area 4 can be called the first welcome area, the area formed by area 5, area 6, area 7, and area 8 can be called the second welcome area, and the area formed by area 9, area 10, area 11, and area 12 can be called the third welcome area.

[0117] In practice, when the smart key enters the third welcome area, the light brightness can be 40% of the normal light brightness, and when the smart key enters the second welcome area from the third welcome area, the light brightness can be changed to 60% of the normal light brightness. When the smart key enters the first welcome area from the second welcome area, the light brightness can be changed to 80% of the normal brightness. It can be understood that during the driving process of the vehicle, each headlight on the vehicle is lit at the normal light brightness, that is, at 100% of the normal light brightness. It should be noted that the vehicle can control the brightness of the headlights by controlling the duty cycle output to the headlights.

[0118] In practice, the preset lighting frequency is usually a preset frequency value, for example, it may be lit several times per second, for example, 2 times.

[0119] In practice, in the headlight welcome mode, the vehicle can determine the light brightness and lighting frequency of each target headlight. For the target headlight at the abnormal tire position, it can be lit according to the preset lighting frequency, that is, flashing display; for the target headlight at the non-abnormal tire position, it can be continuously lit.

[0120] It should be noted that in the case of an abnormal tire, lighting up the target lights differently can promptly remind the user of the location of the abnormal tire, which helps to further improve the user experience.

[0121] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the vehicle determines the target device and the welcome operation of the target device according to the movement trend of the smart key and the target welcome mode, including:

[0122] When the target welcome mode includes a wiper welcome mode, a wiping speed of a wiper on the vehicle is determined according to the movement trend and rainfall information; the wiper is determined as a target device, and the welcome operation corresponding to the wiper is determined to work according to the wiping speed.

[0123] The wiping speed can be low speed, high speed and medium speed. It should be noted that the wiping speed of the wiper can have three levels, such as low speed, high speed and medium speed, or more levels, which are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0124] In practice, the vehicle may use the rainfall information to determine the wiping speed. For example, if the rainfall information indicates that the rainfall is heavy, the wiping speed is determined to be high. In some application scenarios, if the rainfall information is provided by a rain light sensor, the rainfall information may include information indicating the wiping speed of the wiper. In this case, the vehicle may directly obtain the wiping speed.

[0125] In practice, since the wipers consume a lot of power when working, in order to reduce unnecessary power consumption during the welcome, the wipers can be controlled only when the smart key enters the first welcome area from the second welcome area. Figure 2 The smart key enters the first welcome area from the second welcome area, the smart key can enter from area 5 to area 1, or from area 6 to area 2, or from area 7 to area 3, or from area 8 to area 4.

[0126] It should be noted that in the case of rain, before the user enters the vehicle, by controlling the wipers to wipe off the rain on the windshield, the windshield can have better transparency when the user gets in the car, which helps to further enhance the vehicle's welcoming effect and improve the user experience.

[0127] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the vehicle determines the target device and the welcome operation of the target device according to the movement trend of the smart key and the target welcome mode, including:

[0128] When the target welcome mode includes a window welcome mode, the target opening of the window on the vehicle is determined according to the movement trend and the temperature information inside the vehicle, the window is determined as the target device, and the welcome operation corresponding to the window is determined to be raised or lowered to the target opening.

[0129] The target opening is positively correlated with the in-vehicle temperature indicated by the in-vehicle temperature information, and the target opening is negatively correlated with the target distance, which is the distance between the smart key and the vehicle.

[0130] Among them, the windows on the vehicle may refer to various windows with lifting functions on the vehicle, such as the left front window, the left rear window, the right front window, the right rear window, the sunroof, etc. It can be understood that in the window welcome mode, some or all of the windows can be controlled to perform the welcome operation.

[0131] In practice, a mapping table describing the relationship between the movement trend, the temperature inside the vehicle, and the target opening degree may be pre-stored in the vehicle. In this way, the vehicle can use the current movement trend and the temperature inside the vehicle to find the corresponding target opening degree from the mapping table.

[0132] Table 1 Mapping relationship table

[0133]

[0134]

[0135] From Table 1 above, it can be seen that when the smart key enters the third welcome area, if the temperature inside the car is greater than 30°C and less than or equal to 45°C, the target opening is 10%; if the temperature inside the car is greater than 45°C and less than or equal to 60°C, the target opening is 20%; if the temperature inside the car is greater than 60°C and less than or equal to 75°C, the target opening is 30%; if the temperature inside the car is greater than 75°C, the target opening is 40%.

[0136] When the smart key enters the second welcome area from the third welcome area, if the temperature inside the car is greater than 30℃ and less than or equal to 45℃, the target opening is 30%; if the temperature inside the car is greater than 45℃ and less than or equal to 60℃, the target opening is 40%; if the temperature inside the car is greater than 60℃ and less than or equal to 75℃, the target opening is 50%; if the temperature inside the car is greater than 75℃, the target opening is 60%.

[0137] When the smart key enters the first welcome area from the second welcome area, if the temperature inside the car is greater than 30℃ and less than or equal to 45℃, the target opening is 50%; if the temperature inside the car is greater than 45℃ and less than or equal to 60℃, the target opening is 60%; if the temperature inside the car is greater than 60℃ and less than or equal to 75℃, the target opening is 70%; if the temperature inside the car is greater than 75℃, the target opening is 90%.

[0138] Combination Figure 2 , the smart key can enter the third welcome area by entering area 9, area 10, area 11, or area 12. The smart key can enter the second welcome area from the third welcome area by entering area 5 from area 9, area 6 from area 10, area 7 from area 11, or area 8 from area 12. The smart key can enter the first welcome area from the second welcome area by entering area 1 from area 5, area 2 from area 6, area 3 from area 7, or area 4 from area 8.

[0139] It can be understood that the above mapping relationship table is only used as an example, and the values ​​of each item in the mapping relationship table can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0140] In actual applications, after obtaining the target opening of the window, for each window that needs to perform a welcoming operation, the vehicle can compare the current opening of the window with the target opening. If the current opening is less than the target opening, the welcoming operation of the window can be raised or lowered from the current opening to the target opening. If the current opening is greater than the target opening, the welcoming operation of the window can be inactive.

[0141] It should be noted that when the temperature inside the car is high, welcoming guests through the car window can effectively lower the temperature inside the car before the user enters the car, which helps to improve the user's comfort when entering the car, thereby improving the user experience.

[0142] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the above-mentioned vehicle welcome control method may further include the following step: when it is detected that the vehicle is started, controlling at least part of the target device to exit the target welcome mode.

[0143] Wherein, at least part of the target devices include horns and / or lights.

[0144] Here, the vehicle may detect whether the vehicle is started by using a sensor, such as a current sensor, a pressure sensor, etc. In practice, when the vehicle is started, the power mode of the vehicle is usually switched from OFF to ON.

[0145] When detecting that the vehicle is started, the vehicle can control some or all of the target devices to exit the target welcome mode.

[0146] In practice, the vehicle can control the horn or lights to exit the target welcome mode. Controlling the horn to exit the target welcome mode allows the horn to be used normally after welcoming guests. Exiting the lights from the target welcome mode allows the lights to be used normally. In addition, the vehicle usually does not need to actively control the wipers or windows to exit the target welcome mode, which can ensure that users have a good car experience when it rains or when the car is hot and stuffy. In addition, selectively exiting certain target devices from the target welcome mode can further enhance the user experience.

[0147] Figure 3 Another flow chart of the vehicle welcoming control method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle welcoming control method may include the following steps 301 to 306. The execution subject of steps 301 to 306 is usually a vehicle and specifically a body controller in the vehicle.

[0148] Step 301: The vehicle body controller obtains vehicle environment information through a rain and light sensor.

[0149] Here, vehicles are generally equipped with rain and light sensors. In practice, rain and light sensors can have the following four functions:

[0150] Function 1: Automatically turn on the headlights when it is dark or the light is low, and automatically turn off the headlights when it is light.

[0151] Function 2: Detect whether it is raining.

[0152] Function 3: When it is detected that there is rain or no rain, a wiper request signal can be sent, wherein the wiper request signal can indicate the wiper action speed, and the wiper action speed can include wiper no action, wiper low speed, wiper medium speed, wiper high speed, etc.

[0153] Function 4: When the rain light sensor is installed in the front windshield area, it can detect the temperature of the front windshield area.

[0154] In practice, the rain and light sensor can send signals indicating whether the headlights need to be turned on, whether it is raining, wiper request signals, and front windshield area temperature signals to the body controller through the vehicle network.

[0155] Step 302: The vehicle body controller obtains the location information of the smart key through the PEPS system or the Bluetooth system.

[0156] Here, the PEPS system can detect the location of the smart key through the low-frequency antenna. The Bluetooth system can detect the location of the smart key through the Bluetooth antenna.

[0157] The PEPS system or the Bluetooth system sends the location signal of the legal smart key to the body controller through the vehicle network. The PEPS system can also send the power mode signal to the body controller through the vehicle network.

[0158] Step 303: The vehicle body controller obtains a tire pressure signal through a tire pressure monitoring system.

[0159] Here, the tire pressure monitoring system can detect tire pressure and tire temperature. The tire pressure monitoring system can send tire pressure signals to the body controller through the vehicle network.

[0160] In step 304 , the vehicle body controller controls the lighting of the headlights via hard-wired driving or via the vehicle network.

[0161] Here, the body controller can achieve the brightness of the headlights by modulating the duty cycle and can control the frequency of the headlights.

[0162] Step 305: the vehicle body controller drives the speaker to sound through a hard line.

[0163] Here, the body controller can achieve the size of the sound of the driving horn by modulating the size of the duty cycle, and can control the frequency and duration of the driving horn.

[0164] Step 306 : The vehicle body controller controls the windshield wipers via hardwired drive or via a vehicle network.

[0165] It should be noted that the present embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on the specific duty cycle and frequency output by the vehicle body controller. The duty cycle and frequency of the headlights, and the duty cycle and frequency of the horn sounding can be set according to the actual vehicle effect.
