The system includes: an external digital video recorder (DVR) 10, an external DVR controller 20 and a vehicle controller 30. The DVR controller 20 is connected to the DVR and the vehicle controller 30 respectively.

[0071] The vehicle controller 30 is used to send a control instruction to the DVR controller 20 based on the current driving condition, and the control instruction is used to instruct the DVR controller 20 to control the DVR 10 to take pictures. The vehicle controller 30 can be a vehicle controller 30 for controlling the entire vehicle, and the vehicle controller 30 can also be a domain controller of the vehicle.

[0075] See also Figure 2 , which shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a vehicle to take photos provided by the present application. As an example but not a limitation, the method is applied to an electronic device in a vehicle.

[0076] S201, the electronic device displays a target navigation route in a navigation interface based on a navigation start position and a navigation end position.

[0077] The electronic device determines a navigation start position and a navigation end position, determines a target navigation route between the navigation start position and the navigation end position based on the positions of the navigation start position and the navigation end position in the map, and displays the target navigation route in the navigation interface.

[0078] The navigation end position is the location of the navigation destination. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays a navigation search interface, and the navigation search interface is used to receive the destination input by the user. The electronic device determines the navigation end position based on the destination. Among them, the user can manually enter the destination through the navigation search interface, and can also enter the destination through a voice signal. In the embodiment of the present application, the input method of the navigation end position is not specifically limited.

[0079] The navigation start position may be the current position of the vehicle or the position input by the user. In some embodiments, the electronic device obtains the current position of the vehicle and determines the current position of the vehicle as the navigation start position. In some embodiments, the vehicle obtains the navigation start position input by the user, wherein the vehicle obtains the navigation start position input by the user in the same manner as the electronic device obtains the navigation end position input by the user, which is not described in detail here.

[0080] The electronic device may be an electronic device consisting of a vehicle controller and a display screen in a system involved in the method for controlling a vehicle to take photos. The electronic device may also be an electronic device of a user that is communicatively connected to the vehicle controller in the system involved in the method for controlling a vehicle to take photos. In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device is not specifically limited.

[0081] S202: In response to a target operation on the target navigation route, the electronic device determines a starting position and an ending position for photographing on the target navigation route.

[0082] The target operation is an operation input by the user for determining the starting position and the ending position of photographing. The electronic device determines the starting position and the ending position of photographing on the target navigation route based on the position where the target operation is triggered on the target navigation route. The target operation can be a click operation.

[0083] In a first implementation method, the target operation includes a first operation, and this step may be: in response to the first operation acting on the target navigation route, determining a first position corresponding to the first operation on the target navigation route; and determining two positions on the target navigation route that are a preset distance away from the first position as the starting position and the ending position of the photographing, respectively.

[0084] The electronic device determines the first position triggered by the first operation on the target navigation route as the photo center position, and determines the photo start position and the photo end position on the target navigation route on both sides of the first position with the photo center position as the center. The preset distance can be set as needed. In the embodiment of the present application, the preset distance is not specifically limited. For example, the preset distance can be 200 meters or 500 meters.

[0085] In this implementation, the electronic device determines the starting position and the ending position of the photo-taking from the target navigation route through a single click operation by the user, thereby simplifying the operation process and optimizing the user experience.

[0086] In a second implementation method, the target operation includes a second operation and a third operation, and this step may be: in response to the second operation, the electronic device determines the starting position of photographing corresponding to the second operation on the target navigation route; in response to the third operation, the electronic device determines the ending position of photographing corresponding to the third operation on the target navigation route.

[0087] The electronic device determines the starting position and the ending position of the photo shooting according to the positions triggered by the second operation and the third operation on the target navigation route. In the embodiment of the present application, the triggering order of the second operation and the third operation is not specifically limited. When the electronic device receives two click operations acting on the target navigation route, based on the positions of the two click positions on the target navigation route, the position close to the navigation starting position is determined as the starting position of the photo shooting, and the position close to the navigation ending position is determined as the ending position of the photo shooting. In this implementation, the navigation starting position and the navigation ending position are determined by receiving two operations of the user, so that the determined navigation starting position and the navigation ending position are more in line with the user's expectations, and the accuracy of determining the navigation starting position and the navigation ending position is improved.

[0088] S203, the electronic device obtains the position of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling based on the target navigation route.

[0089] In some embodiments, the electronic device is connected to the vehicle in communication, and the vehicle sends the current location information of the vehicle to the electronic device through the communication connection. In some embodiments, the electronic device is a vehicle-mounted terminal of the vehicle, and the electronic device determines the location of the vehicle according to its own positioning system.

[0090] S204, when the position of the vehicle is between the photographing start position and the photographing end position, the electronic device controls the external digital video recorder of the vehicle to take a photo.

[0091] The electronic device compares the position of the vehicle with the starting position of photographing, and when the position of the vehicle matches the starting position of photographing, the electronic device controls the external digital video recorder of the vehicle to start photographing. Also, the position of the vehicle is compared with the ending position of photographing, and when the position of the vehicle matches the ending position of photographing, the electronic device controls the external digital video recorder of the vehicle to stop photographing.

[0092] The matching of the vehicle position with the starting position for taking a photo indicates that the vehicle position coincides with the starting position for taking a photo or the distance between the vehicle position and the starting position for taking a photo is less than a preset value, wherein the preset value can be set as required, for example, the preset value can be 5 meters or 3 meters, etc. The principle of matching the vehicle position with the ending position for taking a photo is the same as the principle of matching the vehicle position with the starting position for taking a photo, and will not be described in detail here.

[0093] It should be noted that the electronic device controls the external digital video recorder of the vehicle to take photos at a preset frequency between the starting position and the ending position of the photo shooting, wherein the preset frequency can be set according to user needs, and in the embodiment of the present application, the preset frequency is not specifically limited. For example, the preset frequency can be one photo every 10 seconds, one photo every minute, or one photo every two minutes, etc.

[0094] Another point that needs to be explained is that after marking the starting and ending positions of taking photos based on the target navigation route, the electronic device can store the starting and ending positions of taking photos as a historical photo section. When the vehicle passes through the historical photo section in other navigation routes, the starting and ending positions of taking photos can be automatically marked based on the historical photo section, and photos can be taken based on the starting and ending positions of taking photos.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present application, the target navigation route is displayed in the navigation interface, and the starting and ending positions for taking photos marked by the user are received based on the target navigation route. Therefore, when the vehicle is driving based on the target navigation position, the vehicle can determine whether to take photos by monitoring the current position, thereby enriching the function of the external digital video recorder, allowing it to be fully utilized and preventing waste of resources.

[0096] See also Figure 3 , which shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a vehicle to take photos provided by the present application. As an example but not a limitation, the method is applied to an electronic device in a vehicle.

[0097] S301, the electronic device displays a target navigation route in a navigation interface based on a navigation start position and a navigation end position.

[0098] The principle of this step is the same as that of step S201 and will not be repeated here.

[0099] S302, the electronic device determines a starting position and an ending position for photographing on the target navigation route in response to a target operation on the target navigation route.

[0100] The principle of this step is the same as that of step S202 and will not be repeated here.

[0101] S303, the electronic device obtains the position of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling based on the target navigation route.

[0102] The principle of this step is the same as that of step S203 and will not be repeated here.

[0103] S304: When the position of the vehicle is between the photographing start position and the photographing end position, the electronic device determines that the environment where the vehicle is located meets the photographing conditions.

[0104] When the position of the vehicle is between the starting position and the ending position of the photographing, the electronic device obtains the current environment information of the vehicle and determines whether the environment information meets the photographing condition. The photographing condition includes at least one of the obstacle ratio condition, obstacle distance condition, vehicle speed condition, environment condition, and time condition.

[0105] In some embodiments, the photographing condition includes an obstacle ratio condition; determining whether the environment in which the vehicle is located meets the photographing condition includes: when the vehicle is driving, controlling an external digital video recorder of the vehicle to collect video data; identifying the video screen in the video data to obtain the ratio of the obstacle of the vehicle in the screen of the video data; if the ratio is less than the preset ratio set in the obstacle ratio condition, determining that the environment in which the vehicle is located meets the obstacle ratio condition.

[0106] Prior to this step, the electronic device uses an obstacle recognition model to determine obstacles in the video screen. The obstacles include models of pedestrians, electric vehicles, trucks, cars, etc. When an obstacle is detected in the video screen, the proportion of the obstacle in the current screen is determined. If the proportion is less than the preset proportion, it is determined that the photo conditions are met and the photo is started. If the proportion is greater than the preset proportion, it is determined that the photo conditions are not met and the photo is not started.

[0107] It should be noted that when the video screen includes multiple obstacles, the electronic device determines the sum of the proportions of the multiple obstacles in the screen as the obstacle proportion. The obstacles are obstacles of the same type or obstacles of different types, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, the preset proportion can be set as needed, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, the preset proportion can be 1 / 9 of the video screen.

[0108] In this implementation, obstacles in the video screen are identified so as to be accurately distinguished from other scenery or photographed scenes in the screen, and when the obstacle ratio is less than a preset ratio, it is determined that the vehicle meets the obstacle ratio condition, thereby reducing the proportion of objects in the photographed photos, so that the photographed photos can show more scenery to meet user needs.

[0109] In some embodiments, the photographing condition includes an obstacle distance condition; determining that the environment in which the vehicle is located meets the photographing condition includes: the electronic device determines the type of obstacle and the area of ​​the obstacle in the video screen; when the type of the obstacle determines the preset area corresponding to the obstacle, when the area of ​​the obstacle is smaller than the area corresponding to the obstacle, it is determined that the obstacle distance condition is met.

[0110] For example, when the obstacle is identified as a car, it can be determined whether the distance between the car and the current vehicle meets the obstacle distance condition based on the area of ​​the rear windshield of the car. When the size of the rear windshield of the car exceeds the predetermined value, it means that the car is too close to the front car, and the current obstacle distance condition is not met.

[0111] In this implementation, obstacles in the video screen are identified so as to be accurately distinguished from other scenery or photographed scenes in the screen, and when the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is greater than a preset distance, it is determined that the vehicle meets the obstacle distance condition, thereby reducing the proportion of objects in the photographed photos, so that the photographed photos can show more scenery to meet user needs.

[0112] In some embodiments, the photographing condition includes a vehicle speed condition; determining that the environment in which the vehicle is located meets the photographing condition includes: the electronic device obtains the vehicle's driving speed; if the driving speed is less than a preset speed set in the vehicle speed condition, determining that the environment in which the vehicle is located meets the vehicle speed condition.

[0113] The preset speed can be set as needed, and in the embodiment of the present application, the preset speed is not specifically limited. For example, the preset speed can be 80 kilometers per hour.

[0114] In this implementation, photos are taken when the vehicle speed is less than a preset speed, thereby preventing the problem of unclear photos caused by excessive speed.

[0115] In some embodiments, if the driving speed is not less than the preset speed set in the speed condition, a prompt message is output, and the prompt message is used to prompt the driver to slow down the speed to take pictures.

[0116] The prompt message may be a voice message, for example, the prompt message may be "There is a beautiful view ahead, slow down so I can take a photo for you." In this implementation, the prompt message reminds the driver to slow down, thereby preventing the driver from failing to take photos of the desired beautiful view due to excessive speed, thereby optimizing the user experience.

[0117] In some embodiments, the photographing conditions include environmental conditions; determining that the environment in which the vehicle is located meets the photographing conditions includes: obtaining the light intensity and rainfall intensity of the environment in which the vehicle is located; if the light intensity is greater than the preset light intensity set in the environmental conditions, and the rainfall intensity is less than the preset rainfall intensity set in the environmental conditions, it is determined that the environment in which the vehicle is located meets the environmental conditions.

[0118] In this implementation, by detecting the light intensity and rainfall intensity, shooting is performed when the light intensity and rainfall intensity are appropriate, thereby ensuring the clarity of the captured image and preventing the problem of wasting shooting resources due to unclear captured images.

[0119] In some embodiments, the photographing condition includes a time condition; determining that the environment in which the vehicle is located meets the photographing condition includes: the electronic device obtains the current time point; if the current time point is within a preset time period set in the time condition, determining that the environment in which the vehicle is located meets the time condition.

[0120] The preset time period can be set as needed. In the embodiment of the present application, the preset time period is not specifically limited. For example, the preset time period can be 7:00-18:00 in the morning in summer.

[0121] In this implementation, by shooting within a preset time period, it is ensured that there is sufficient light when taking photos, thereby ensuring the clarity of the taken photos.

[0122] S305, the electronic device controls the external digital video recorder of the vehicle to take photos.

[0123] This step is the same as the principle of the electronic device controlling the external digital video recorder of the vehicle to take photos in step S204, and will not be repeated here.

[0124] In an embodiment of the present application, the target navigation route is displayed in the navigation interface, and the starting and ending positions for taking photos marked by the user are received based on the target navigation route. Therefore, when the vehicle is driving based on the target navigation position, the vehicle can determine whether to take photos by monitoring the current position, thereby enriching the function of the external digital video recorder, allowing it to be fully utilized and preventing waste of resources.

[0125] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
