[0037] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present invention, without changing the essential spirit of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can propose a variety of interchangeable structural modes and implementation modes. Therefore, the following specific implementation modes and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be regarded as the whole of the present invention or as a limitation or restriction to the technical solution of the present invention.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle-mounted pet mode control method comprises the following steps:

[0039] a) Conducting an entry safety assessment on the vehicle pet mode based on vehicle status monitoring data;

[0040] b) In the vehicle pet mode, the vehicle pet mode is evaluated for execution safety through vehicle status monitoring data, vehicle environment monitoring data and pet status monitoring data;

[0041] c) If you want to exit the in-vehicle pet mode, the safety of exiting the in-vehicle pet mode is evaluated through the vehicle status monitoring data, vehicle environment monitoring data and pet status monitoring data.

[0042] Figure 1 An in-vehicle pet mode system is shown. Figure 1 As shown, in the vehicle pet mode system, there is a dedicated pet mode main controller module, which receives signals for monitoring the vehicle status and communication signals with the owner's personal terminal. According to certain conditions (remaining power of the vehicle, current gear position, whether the air conditioner is faulty, etc.), the pet mode is turned on when needed.

[0043] After turning on the pet mode, the module sends corresponding commands to allow the vehicle to execute operations such as the in-car camera, air conditioning, windows, door locks, etc., so that the pet can be in a comfortable environment in the car.

[0044] At the same time, after the owner leaves the vehicle, he can remotely check the pet's status through the owner's personal terminal.

[0045] Figure 2 The following figure shows a design framework for a car pet mode safety mechanism. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, through vehicle status monitoring, vehicle environment monitoring and pet status monitoring, the safety evaluator inside the safety management of the pet mode performs safety assessments for different life cycle states of the pet mode. The evaluation results are output to the pet mode actuator, and then instructions are issued to other modules in the car or personal terminals to always keep the pet mode running in a safe state. This is the design principle of the pet mode safety mechanism.

[0046] The following is the specific design and implementation of the security mechanism.

[0047] Figure 3 shows an entry security evaluator design framework. Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle state monitoring data is input into the pet mode entry safety evaluator, so as to perform a safety assessment on the feasibility of the current pet mode entry. If the feasibility judgment flag is 1, the pet mode can be executed; if the feasibility judgment flag is -1, the pet mode cannot be executed.

[0048] The vehicle status monitoring data includes one or more of the following: vehicle power battery status, vehicle small battery status, gear status, air conditioning status, window status, door status, sunroof status, and networking status.

[0049] Figure 4 A design framework for implementing a security evaluator is shown. Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle state monitoring data, vehicle environment monitoring data and pet state monitoring data are input into the pet mode execution safety evaluator, so as to perform a safety assessment on the current pet mode execution state.

[0050] When the evaluation result is level 1, it indicates that the current system operation is the safest and there is no potential risk. The pet mode actuator notifies the personal terminal to remind at the lowest frequency, such as once every 4, 3, 2 or 1 hours.

[0051] When the evaluation result is level 2, it indicates that the current system operation safety is relatively high. For example, the remaining power can support the pet mode for 2 hours. The pet mode actuator notifies the personal terminal to make medium-frequency reminders, such as once every 2, 1, 0.5 or 0.25 hours.

[0052] When the evaluation result is level 3, it indicates that the current system operation safety is low, such as the impatient behavior of the pet, the pet mode actuator notifies the personal terminal to make medium- and high-frequency reminders, such as reminders every 30, 20, 10 or 5 minutes;

[0053] When the evaluation result is level 4, it indicates that the current system operation safety is low. For example, if the vehicle abnormality will cause the pet mode to exit, the pet mode actuator will notify the personal terminal to make high-frequency reminders, such as reminders every 10, 5, 3 or 1 minute.

[0054] When the evaluation result is level 5, it indicates that the current system operation safety level is extremely low, such as serious vehicle abnormalities. The pet mode actuator notifies the personal terminal to make the highest level of reminders, such as reminders at intervals of 30, 20, 10 or 5 seconds.

[0055] The vehicle status monitoring data includes one or more of the following: vehicle power battery status, vehicle small battery status, gear status, air conditioning status, window status, door status, sunroof status and networking status.

[0056] The vehicle environment monitoring data includes one or more of the following: vehicle interior temperature, forecast temperature, humidity, light, and carbon dioxide content.

[0057] Pet status monitoring data includes: sounds and / or behaviors.

[0058] Figure 5 shows an exit safety evaluator design framework. Figure 5 As shown, when the pet mode is exited, the vehicle status monitoring data is input into the pet mode exit safety assessor, thereby performing a risk assessment on the current pet mode exit status and providing three different safety exit strategies.

[0059] When the risk level is identified as 1, it means there is no risk in the current exit;

[0060] When the risk level is identified as 2, it indicates that the current exit is abnormal, and the windows or sunroof need to be set to ventilation state according to the environment;

[0061] When the risk level is identified as 3, it indicates that the current vehicle is in a serious abnormal state and the windows and doors need to be fully opened.

[0062] In a vehicle-mounted pet mode control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the designed hierarchical safety mechanism is used to establish a safe entry mechanism to provide the necessary conditions for vehicle stability and communication reliability for the normal operation of the pet mode. By establishing a multi-level alarm mechanism, the pet owner's attention to the vehicle status is increased and the pet's safety is guaranteed. At the same time, a pet mode abnormal exit safety mechanism is established to prevent the pet from being harmed.

[0063] The technical effects that can be obtained by the vehicle-mounted pet mode control method include:

[0064] 1) Through safety assessment, it can be ensured that it is safe enough when entering the pet mode;

[0065] 2) During the execution of the pet mode, the user is prompted to return to the vehicle through an alarm prompt;

[0066] 3) When exiting pet mode abnormally, take appropriate safety measures to ensure the safety of your pet.

[0067] The vehicle-mounted pet mode control method according to an embodiment of the present invention can particularly overcome the adverse effects caused by the following situations:

[0068] The vehicle breaks down and the air conditioner fails to work, or the vehicle battery is insufficient to operate the air conditioner, which results in the vehicle being unable to provide a comfortable environment for the pet. In extreme cases, the pet may suffer from cold or heat stroke.

[0069] Long-term use of the pet mode will cause the owner to become dependent on the pet mode, which may cause the pet to be forgotten in the vehicle for a long time, causing unpredictable harm;

[0070] When a vehicle is about to catch fire or in other extreme situations, if the pet cannot escape from the car in time, its life may be in danger.

[0071] Figure 6An exemplary process of using the vehicle pet mode using the vehicle pet mode control method is shown. First, after receiving the user's instruction to turn on the pet mode, the entry safety evaluator operation is performed. If it is judged that the entry is not possible, it is prompted that the pet mode is not available. If it is judged that the entry is possible, the pet mode is entered; the execution safety evaluator operation is performed in the pet mode, and then the corresponding level of alarm is executed according to the evaluation result; if it is necessary to exit the pet mode, the exit safety evaluator operation is performed, and the corresponding level of exit strategy is executed according to the evaluation result; finally, the process ends.

[0072] In a vehicle-mounted pet mode control method according to one embodiment of the present invention, a safe entry mechanism for the vehicle-mounted pet mode is established: this mechanism takes into account the dual needs of vehicle operation safety and pet health and safety, and ensures the normal operation of the pet mode by limiting the vehicle status and communication status.

[0073] In a vehicle-mounted pet mode control method according to one embodiment of the present invention, reminder information is sent to the car owner regularly: this regular reminder method is more considerate and effective than the traditional one-time reminder, and can help the car owner avoid forgetting that the pet is in the car due to negligence, and take timely action.

[0074] In a vehicle-mounted pet mode control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is a differentiated alarm mechanism: different levels of alarms are provided according to different situations. For example, different levels of warning information are provided for situations such as low battery and serious faults, so that the owner can understand the vehicle status more clearly. This differentiated alarm mechanism can improve the owner's perception and processing capabilities of the vehicle status.

[0075] In a vehicle-mounted pet mode control method according to one embodiment of the present invention, there is a high-level alarm method: the highest level of alarm method is used to remind the owner of serious faults, ensuring that the vehicle status can be known at the first time in an emergency. This high-level alarm design can effectively protect the safety of pets and vehicles, and demonstrates humane care and protection measures in emergency situations.

[0076] In a vehicle pet mode control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, lower the car windows or open the sunroof to maintain air circulation: when exiting the pet mode, the system will automatically lower the car windows or open the sunroof to a suitable position according to scenarios such as low battery and air conditioning not working properly, to ensure air circulation in the car and prevent pets from suffocating. This air circulation measure for pet safety reflects the concern for the health and safety of pets.

[0077] In a vehicle pet mode control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the windows and doors are opened actively to allow pets to quickly leave the vehicle: when a serious problem with the vehicle is identified, such as abnormal battery thermal management, the system will actively open the windows and doors to allow pets to quickly leave the vehicle. This active safety measure can timely protect the safety of pets in an emergency, providing pets with more escape opportunities, and has a certain degree of humane care.

[0078] The present invention also includes a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the method described in any one or more of the aforementioned embodiments are implemented. Therefore, the technical features and technical effects possessed by the computer program correspond to the previous description, and will not be repeated here.
