[0041] In order to improve the safety of running in-vehicle games in a vehicle, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling in-vehicle games, the method comprising receiving a command to start a game mode of a vehicle, obtaining status information of the vehicle in response to the command to start the game mode, and controlling the vehicle to enter the game mode when the status information indicates that the vehicle is in a non-driving state. In this way, when a user wants to start the game mode, he can first determine the driving mode of the vehicle, and allow the game mode to run when the vehicle is in a non-driving state, thereby avoiding misoperation of the vehicle game during driving and improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0042] Figure 1 A control system for an in-vehicle game provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control system 100 of the in-vehicle game includes a vehicle 10 and a user equipment (UE) 20. The vehicle 10 and the user equipment 200 can communicate with each other.

[0043] In some embodiments, the vehicle 10 may include a control component, a first vehicle-mounted hardware, a second vehicle-mounted hardware, etc. The control component may be connected to the first vehicle-mounted hardware and the second vehicle-mounted hardware, respectively, to control the first vehicle-mounted hardware and the second vehicle-mounted hardware. In some embodiments, there may be multiple vehicles 10.

[0044] Exemplarily, the first vehicle-mounted hardware can be understood as the input human-machine interface of the vehicle-mounted game, which may include at least one of the vehicle's steering assembly, power assembly, chassis assembly, and body assembly. For example, the steering assembly may include a steering wheel, and the attached buttons / knobs of the steering wheel, etc. The power assembly may include pedals, such as throttle / acceleration, brake, clutch pedals, etc. The body assembly may include seats, steering levers, wiper levers, air conditioners, windows, lights, sun visors, etc. In some embodiments, the chassis assembly may include various components in the brake system, such as a brake pedal.

[0045] In addition, the second vehicle hardware can be understood as an output human-machine interface of the vehicle game, which can include at least one of a vehicle cockpit component, a body component, a safety component, and a chassis component. For example, the vehicle cockpit component can include a display component, a sound component, etc. The safety component can include a seat belt, etc. The chassis component can also include a suspension mechanism, etc.

[0046] In some embodiments, the vehicle 10 may further include a communication component, for example, the communication component may be an ultra wide band (UWB) module, for implementing a communication connection between the user device 20 and the vehicle 10 .

[0047] In some embodiments, the vehicle 10 may include more or fewer components. For example, the vehicle 10 may also include a travel component, a transmission component, a sensor, a positioning component, a radar, and more components.

[0048] In some embodiments, the user device 20 may be a terminal device, which may also be referred to as a terminal, a mobile station, a mobile terminal, etc. The user device 20 may be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a handheld computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, etc. In some embodiments, the number of the user devices 20 may be multiple.

[0049] Understandably, Figure 1 The system architecture shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it may include more or fewer devices or components than those shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently. For example, the control system of an in-vehicle game may only include a vehicle.

[0050] The method provided by the present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an in-vehicle game, the method comprising:

[0052] S101, receiving an instruction to start a game mode of a vehicle.

[0053] The game mode activation command is used to instruct the vehicle to enter the game mode. Exemplarily, when a user wants to activate the vehicle's in-vehicle game function, the user can input the game mode activation command to the vehicle.

[0054] In one example, the user can input relevant operations to turn on the game mode to the vehicle so that the vehicle can receive the command to turn on the game mode. For example, the user can click on the "game mode button", which can be a physical button set inside the vehicle, or a "game mode" control displayed on the display interface of the vehicle. Alternatively, the user can input voice such as "turn on game mode" or "turn on game mode" to the vehicle so that the vehicle can receive the command to turn on the game mode. The specific implementation method of the user's operation to turn on the game mode is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0055] In another example, a user may input relevant operations to start the game mode into a user device, and the user device is communicatively connected to the vehicle. In response to the operation, the user device may send a command to start the game mode to the vehicle, and accordingly, the vehicle may receive the command to start the game mode.

[0056] S102: In response to a command to start the game mode, obtain status information of the vehicle.

[0057] In some embodiments, the vehicle status information may include the vehicle's operating mode, driving speed, status information of various vehicle components such as accelerator pedal opening information, brake pedal opening information, steering wheel steering angle information, etc. Further, based on the vehicle status information, it can be determined whether the vehicle is in a driving state.

[0058] In some embodiments, the vehicle's operating mode may include a game mode, a driving mode, a theater mode, an office mode, a user-defined mode, or other possible modes. The user may control the vehicle to enter a corresponding operating mode based on their own needs, and the vehicle's status information may also include mode information of the vehicle's current operating mode.

[0059] It should be noted that, in the game mode of the vehicle, the vehicle's onboard hardware can be used to indicate the corresponding control instructions of the game. Therefore, in actual implementation, the game mode is turned on when the vehicle is in driving state, so that the user's operation of the onboard hardware is used to indicate the corresponding control instructions of the game, and the driving instructions cannot be normally input to the vehicle, which may affect driving safety. Therefore, in the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the vehicle receives the game mode start instruction, the vehicle will not enter the game mode immediately, but first obtain the vehicle's status information to determine whether it can enter the game mode based on the status information, so as to avoid entering the game mode while driving, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle running the onboard game.

[0060] S103: When the status information indicates that the vehicle is in a non-driving state, control the vehicle to enter a game mode.

[0061] In some embodiments, it is possible to first determine whether the vehicle is in a driving state based on the state information, and then control the vehicle to enter a game mode when the vehicle is in a non-driving state.

[0062] For example, it can be determined whether the vehicle is in a driving state based on the operating mode, driving speed, and status information of each vehicle component in the vehicle status information. For example, if the operating mode of the vehicle is the cinema mode and the driving speed is zero for a preset time before the current moment, it can be determined that the vehicle is in a non-driving state. Furthermore, the vehicle can be controlled to enter a game mode.

[0063] In some embodiments, the identity of the user in the vehicle can also be authenticated. For example, the identity authentication information of the user in the vehicle can be obtained when the vehicle is not in a driving state. Then, based on the identity authentication information of the user, the user is authenticated, and when the user passes the identity authentication, the vehicle is controlled to enter the game mode.

[0064] In one example, the vehicle may store identity information of one or more users, and the identity information may include one or more of facial information, fingerprint information, or iris information. Furthermore, when the vehicle is not in a driving state, the vehicle may collect one or more of the facial information, fingerprint information, or iris information of the user in the vehicle as the identity authentication information of the user. Thus, when the identity authentication information of the user in the vehicle matches the identity information of any user stored in the vehicle, it can be determined that the user in the vehicle has passed the identity authentication, that is, the vehicle can be controlled to enter the game mode. In some embodiments, when the similarity between the identity authentication information of the user in the vehicle and the identity information of one of the users stored in the vehicle is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, it can be determined that the user in the vehicle has passed the identity authentication. Exemplarily, the similarity can be determined based on one or more of the user's facial information, fingerprint information, or iris information.

[0065] In another example, the vehicle can send the acquired user's identity authentication information to the vehicle's preset user (user device). Upon receiving the identity confirmation instruction sent by the preset user, it can be determined that the user in the vehicle has passed the identity authentication, and then control the vehicle to enter the game mode.

[0066] In some embodiments, available computing resources may be allocated to the vehicle's in-vehicle game, wherein the available computing resources include idle computing resources in the vehicle and / or a computing device associated with the vehicle.

[0067] Exemplarily, the computing power resources of the vehicle may include the occupied computing power resources and idle computing power resources of the vehicle. Among them, the available computing power resources of the vehicle may include the idle computing power resources in intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, and general control.

[0068] The vehicle can obtain its own computing power resource information in real time, that is, the information of occupied computing power resources and available computing power resources in real time. When the vehicle enters the game mode, it can perform resource scheduling based on the computing power requirements of the currently running in-vehicle game, and allocate appropriate computing power resources to the in-vehicle game function. In some embodiments, the vehicle's available computing power resources may also include idle computing power resources in a computing device associated with the vehicle. For example, the computing power resources of a terminal device connected to the vehicle, cloud computing power resources, and computing power resources of other vehicles that can share the in-vehicle computing power. Thus, the vehicle can obtain its own computing power resource information and / or computing power resource information in a computing device associated with the vehicle in real time. Then allocate its own idle computing power resources and / or idle computing power resources in a computing device associated with the vehicle to the in-vehicle game function.

[0069] In some embodiments, computing resources may also be allocated to the driving domain and / or cockpit domain based on the location requirements of the user.

[0070] It should be noted that in recent years, with the development of intelligent networked vehicle technology, the computing power and communication capabilities of vehicle configurations have been rapidly improved. Some mid-to-high-end vehicles with driving automation capabilities have high computing power and communication capabilities. When driving, these on-board computing power and communication capabilities can be used for intelligent driving systems and simple multimedia entertainment systems (such as navigation and radio broadcasts). However, the vehicle is in a driving state for a relatively short time, and most of the time it is in a non-driving state. Therefore, based on the method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the vehicle's in-vehicle game function can be provided to the user when the vehicle is not in a driving state, and appropriate computing power resources can be allocated to the in-vehicle game function. In addition, the vehicle can flexibly allocate computing power resources to the driving domain and the cockpit domain based on user needs. In this way, the utilization rate of the powerful computing power and communication capabilities of the vehicle configuration can be improved.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the vehicle enters gaming mode, an in-vehicle game may be run on the vehicle and / or a user device connected to the vehicle.

[0072] In one possible implementation, when the vehicle enters the game mode, the vehicle can run the in-vehicle game selected by the user based on the instructions input by the user.

[0073] In some embodiments, the vehicle may receive a first operation on a first vehicle hardware of the vehicle, and then determine a user's control instruction for the vehicle's vehicle game based on the first corresponding relationship and the first operation. The first corresponding relationship is used to indicate the corresponding relationship between the operation on the first vehicle hardware and the control instruction of the vehicle game.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first vehicle-mounted hardware of the vehicle may include at least one of a steering assembly, a power assembly, a chassis assembly, and a body assembly of the vehicle. For example, the steering assembly may include a steering wheel, and the attached buttons / knobs of the steering wheel, etc. The power assembly may include pedals, such as throttle / acceleration, brake, clutch pedals, etc. The body assembly may include seats, steering levers, wiper levers, air conditioners, windows, lights, sun visors, etc.

[0075] In some embodiments, the control instructions include at least one of vehicle driving instructions, character action instructions, and skill release instructions in the in-vehicle game; wherein the vehicle driving instructions include movement instructions, acceleration instructions, collision instructions, or drift instructions.

[0076] In some embodiments, the vehicle may obtain the game type of the in-vehicle game, and then determine the first corresponding relationship according to the game type of the in-vehicle game.

[0077] In some embodiments, the types of in-vehicle games may include racing games, action games, board games, etc.

[0078] Exemplarily, a vehicle may have multiple first correspondences pre-stored, and one type of in-vehicle game may correspond to at least one first correspondence, and different types of in-vehicle games may correspond to different first correspondences. For example, in the first correspondence of a racing game, the first operation on the first in-vehicle hardware, such as the operation of the accelerator pedal, and / or the brake pedal, and / or the steering wheel, the corresponding control instruction may be a vehicle driving instruction in a racing game. Alternatively, in the first correspondence of an action game, the first operation on the first in-vehicle hardware, such as the operation of the accelerator pedal, and / or the brake pedal, and / or the steering wheel, the corresponding control instruction may be a character action instruction or a skill release instruction in an action game.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first corresponding relationship may be preset by the game software, or may be user-defined or determined in other possible ways.

[0080] It should be noted that when the vehicle is in game mode, the instructions corresponding to the user's operation on the first vehicle-mounted hardware can be adjusted to adapt to the game mode, that is, the vehicle can detect the accelerator pedal opening information, brake pedal opening information, steering wheel steering angle information, steering wheel angle acceleration information or other possible status information of the first vehicle-mounted hardware, and control the vehicle-mounted game based on the status information. In this way, the vehicle-mounted hardware can be used as the human-computer interface of the game to realize the game control function, and then the ability of the vehicle-mounted unit to control the game can be demonstrated to enhance the user's gaming experience without increasing additional hardware costs.

[0081] In some embodiments, the user's control instructions for the vehicle's in-vehicle game may also be determined based on the user's operation on the vehicle, such as sliding, clicking, etc. on the vehicle display. Alternatively, the user's control instructions for the vehicle's in-vehicle game may also be determined based on the user's operation on an external component of the vehicle, such as a game controller.

[0082] In some embodiments, game scene data of an in-vehicle game of a vehicle may also be obtained, and based on the game scene data, a game scene signal output by a second in-vehicle hardware of the vehicle may be determined, and then the game scene signal may be output through the second in-vehicle hardware.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second vehicle-mounted hardware includes at least one of a vehicle cabin component, a vehicle body component, a safety component, and a chassis component. For example, the vehicle cabin component may include a display component, a sound component, etc. The safety component may include a seat belt, etc. The chassis component may include a suspension mechanism, etc.

[0084] For example, Figure 3As shown, the game screen can be displayed through the cockpit display component, and the game sound effects can be output through the sound component. The temperature in the vehicle can be adjusted based on the environmental information in the game scene. Taking racing games as an example, the safety component can also be adjusted based on information such as the racing speed. In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the game screen can also be displayed through the display component of the vehicle computer, or as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the game screen can also be displayed through a vehicle body display component such as a sun visor.

[0085] In some embodiments, the initial state of the second vehicle-mounted hardware before entering the game mode can also be obtained, and when the vehicle exits the game mode, the second vehicle-mounted hardware is adjusted to the initial state.

[0086] Exemplarily, when the vehicle is about to enter the game mode, the current status of each vehicle-mounted component, that is, the above-mentioned initial status, can be recorded. Furthermore, when the user stops the vehicle's in-vehicle game function, the vehicle can be instructed to exit the game mode. At this time, the vehicle can adjust the second vehicle-mounted hardware based on the status information of the initial status of each vehicle-mounted component. In this way, the state of the second vehicle-mounted hardware adjustment before entering the game mode can be restored without the user having to adjust it again. In addition, the inconvenience caused by the state of the vehicle-mounted hardware in the game mode not being applicable to the driving mode is avoided, thereby improving the user experience.

[0087] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the method may further include S104, controlling the vehicle to disable the game mode when the vehicle is in driving state.

[0088] It should be noted that when the vehicle is in a state of play, the vehicle can be controlled not to enter the game mode and maintain the current state of play. The game mode can also be disabled, so that the user's operation of the vehicle hardware is prevented from indicating the corresponding control instructions of the game, and the vehicle cannot be normally input with driving instructions, thereby affecting driving safety.

[0089] In some embodiments, when the vehicle is in motion, a prompt message is issued to disable the gaming mode.

[0090] Exemplarily, the prompt information for disabling the gaming mode may be text prompt information such as “Gaming mode is disabled while driving” displayed on the vehicle's display and / or pattern information for disabling the gaming mode displayed on the vehicle's display, or the prompt information for disabling the gaming mode may be voice prompt information such as “Gaming mode is disabled while driving” output by the vehicle's sound component and / or may be prompt information such as sound, display information, etc. output on a user device connected to the vehicle.

[0091] Based on the technical solution provided by the present disclosure, when a user wants to turn on the game mode, the driving mode of the vehicle can be determined first, and the game mode can be allowed to run when the vehicle is not in a driving state. In this way, the misoperation of the vehicle game during driving can be avoided, and the safety of the vehicle can be improved. In addition, the present disclosure also provides that in the game mode, the on-board unit serves as the human-machine interface of the game to realize the control function of the game. In this way, the ability of the on-board unit to control the game can be expanded to improve the user's gaming experience without increasing additional hardware costs.

[0092] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the control method of the in-vehicle game provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may also include the following steps:

[0093] S201. Receive a command to activate a driving mode of a vehicle.

[0094] The driving mode activation instruction is used to instruct the vehicle to enter the driving mode. For example, when the user wants to activate the vehicle's onboard driving function, the user can input the driving mode activation instruction to the vehicle.

[0095] Exemplarily, the user may input related operations to turn on the driving mode to the vehicle so that the vehicle can receive the driving mode turn-on instruction. Exemplarily, the user may click on the "driving mode button", which may be a physical button provided inside the vehicle, or a "driving mode" control displayed on the display interface of the vehicle computer. Alternatively, the user may input voice commands such as "turn on driving mode" or "turn on driving mode" to the vehicle so that the vehicle can receive the driving mode turn-on instruction. The disclosed embodiments do not limit the specific implementation method of the user's operation of turning on the driving mode.

[0096] S202: In response to a driving mode activation instruction, obtain vehicle status information.

[0097] Among them, the specific description of the vehicle status information can refer to the relevant description in the above step S102, which will not be repeated here.

[0098] It should be noted that, in the game mode of the vehicle, the vehicle's onboard hardware can be used to indicate the corresponding control instructions of the game. Therefore, in actual implementation, when the vehicle is in the game state, the driving mode is turned on, so the user's operation of the onboard hardware may not normally input driving instructions to the vehicle, which may affect driving safety. Therefore, in the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the vehicle receives the driving mode activation instruction, the vehicle will not immediately enter the driving mode, but first obtain the vehicle's status information to determine whether it can enter the driving mode based on the status information, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0099] S203: When the status information indicates that the vehicle is in a non-gaming mode, control the vehicle to enter a driving mode.

[0100] In some embodiments, when the vehicle enters the driving mode, available computing resources may be allocated to vehicle functions of the vehicle in the driving mode, wherein the vehicle functions include one or more of intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, and vehicle general control.

[0101] In some embodiments, a second operation on a first vehicle-mounted hardware of a vehicle may be received, and then a user's driving instruction for the vehicle may be determined based on the second correspondence and the second operation, wherein the second correspondence is used to indicate a correspondence between the operation on the first vehicle-mounted hardware and the driving instruction of the vehicle.

[0102] In some embodiments, the identity of the user in the vehicle can also be authenticated. For example, the identity authentication information of the user in the vehicle can be obtained when the vehicle is in a non-gaming state. Then, based on the identity authentication information of the user, the user is authenticated, and when the user passes the identity authentication, the vehicle is controlled to enter the driving mode.

[0103] In some embodiments, when the status information indicates that the vehicle is in the gaming mode, the vehicle can be controlled to disable the driving mode.

[0104] Based on the technical solution provided by the present invention, when a user wants to turn on the driving mode, the vehicle's status information can be determined first, and the driving mode can be allowed to be entered when the vehicle is in a non-gaming state. In this way, the vehicle's forward movement or other driving operations during the game can be avoided, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0105] In some embodiments, the present disclosure also provides another method for controlling an in-vehicle game, which is applied to a user device, such as Figure 8 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0106] S301: When the vehicle is in game mode, run an in-vehicle game.

[0107] In some embodiments, when the vehicle enters the gaming mode, the user can run an in-vehicle game selected by the user based on instructions input by the user.

[0108] S302: Receive game control information sent by the vehicle, where the game control information includes control instructions for the in-vehicle game.

[0109] In some embodiments, the vehicle may send game control information including a control instruction to the user device, wherein the game control information is used to instruct the execution of the control instruction on the in-vehicle game running on the user device.

[0110] In some embodiments, the game control information may be information determined by the vehicle based on a first operation of the first vehicle hardware.
