[0049] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with one or more embodiments of the present specification. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of one or more embodiments of the present specification as detailed in the appended claims.

[0050] It should be noted that: in other embodiments, the steps of the corresponding method are not necessarily performed in the order shown and described in this specification. In some other embodiments, the steps included in the method may be more or less than those described in this specification. In addition, a single step described in this specification may be decomposed into multiple steps for description in other embodiments; and multiple steps described in this specification may be combined into a single step for description in other embodiments.

[0051] In order to solve the technical problem that the process of driver distraction judgment mentioned above is prone to bring safety risks, the embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle distance control method, in which the electronic image can intuitively display the vehicle icon, the surrounding environment icon, and the display corresponding to the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment, so that the user can timely and accurately grasp the information of the surrounding environment of the vehicle. At the same time, if it is determined that the actual distance meets the conditions for distance adjustment, the adjustment icon for distance adjustment is displayed. In this way, it is equivalent to recommending that the distance adjustment can be performed at present, so that the user can adjust the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance of the vehicle icon relative to the surrounding environment icon by viewing the adjustment icon, and adjust the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance. There is no need to analyze and judge based on driving experience, which reduces the safety risks caused by the user's distracted judgment.

[0052] Figure 1 The figure is a flow chart of the vehicle distance control method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle distance control method may include but is not limited to the following steps 110 to 130:

[0054] Step 110, acquiring the perception data of the vehicle's surroundings in real time, generating and displaying an electronic image corresponding to the perception data of the vehicle and the surroundings; the electronic image includes the vehicle icon, the surroundings icon, and the display corresponding to the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surroundings.

[0055] The electronic image is displayed on the intelligent driving perception screen ADV of the vehicle. The vehicle's perception devices, such as cameras and distance sensors, serve as the "eyes and ears" of the intelligent driving system. The intelligent driving system can indirectly perceive the surrounding environment of the vehicle by acquiring the real-time perception data of the vehicle's surrounding environment from the vehicle's perception devices, thereby generating and displaying an electronic image corresponding to the perception data of the vehicle and the surrounding environment.

[0056] In this regard, the above display conditions are used to display basic information, such as the display information of the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment. Correspondingly, the display distance of the vehicle icon relative to the surrounding environment icon is displayed on the electronic image.

[0057] In addition, the electronic image may also include one or more of the vehicle icon and the surrounding environment icon. The surrounding environment icon may include, but is not limited to, other vehicle icons and lane icons in the surrounding environment. The vehicle icon, other vehicle icon, and lane icon represent information of the vehicle and the surrounding environment used to indicate the road conditions, and are used to respectively indicate the distribution of the actual vehicle, actual other vehicles, and actual lanes in the actual environment. In this way, the distribution of the actual environment can reflect the situation of the real environment.

[0058] The electronic image in this article can be displayed on the intelligent driving perception screen ADV of the HMI (Human-Machine Interface) to achieve human-machine interaction.

[0059] Step 120 : If it is determined that the actual distance reaches the distance adjustment condition, an adjustment icon for distance adjustment is displayed on the vehicle itself or its surroundings in the electronic image.

[0060] The adjustment icons in this article are displayed synchronously with the actual relative distance of the vehicle to the surrounding environment (also called actual distance).

[0061] It should be noted that the actual distance in the above step 120 reaches the condition for distance adjustment, which is used to indicate that the vehicle is within the safe distance range relative to the current environment and has the possibility of distance adjustment. For example, the distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front meets the requirements of safe distance. On this basis, the distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front can be adjusted. For another example, the distance between the vehicle and one side of the lane meets the requirements of safe driving and traffic laws. On this basis, the distance between the vehicle and one side of the lane can be adjusted.

[0062] Next, the determination in step 120 that the actual distance reaches the distance adjustment condition indicates that the distance can be adjusted. If the vehicle is driving safely and the actual distance does not reach the limit distance, it can be determined that the actual distance reaches the distance adjustment condition. Otherwise, it can be determined that the actual distance does not reach the distance adjustment condition, indicating that the distance cannot be adjusted. Please see below for detailed description.

[0063] Step 130, according to the adjustment icon displayed on the electronic image, the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance of the vehicle icon relative to the surrounding environment icon are adjusted simultaneously. The displayed distance can be displayed in proportion to the actual distance.

[0064] The above step 130 can be implemented in a variety of optional implementations:

[0065] In an optional implementation, if the adjustment icon displayed on the electronic image is operated, the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance of the vehicle icon relative to the surrounding environment icon are adjusted simultaneously.

[0066] In another optional implementation, after the electronic image displays the adjustment icon, it indicates that there is space for adjusting the distance. Therefore, when the electronic image displays the adjustment icon, and the perception data includes that there is a large car around the vehicle, the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the large car and the displayed distance of the vehicle icon relative to the large car icon are adjusted at the same time; the actual distance is used to avoid the large car. In this way, the distance between vehicles can be automatically avoided and adjusted, which is in line with the actual driving safety habits.

[0067] Among them, large vehicles are used to refer to vehicles with a total mass and length greater than the vehicle itself. These large vehicles may include, but are not limited to, one or more of large vehicles with more than 20 passengers, large vehicles with a length of more than 6 meters, and large vehicles with a total weight of more than 4 tons.

[0068] Next, the presence of a large car around the ego vehicle may include the presence of a large car in front of, behind, to the left, or to the right of the ego vehicle. This paper adjusts the actual distance of the ego vehicle relative to the large car to be greater than the safety distance or the maximum safety distance of traffic regulations or the maximum safety distance of user habits, which can more effectively ensure the safety of the ego vehicle.

[0069] Of course, the above two optional implementations can be executed independently or in combination.

[0070] The execution instructions are as follows: if the adjustment icon displayed in the electronic image is operated, and the perception data includes the presence of a large car around the vehicle, the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the display distance of the vehicle icon relative to the surrounding environment icon are adjusted at the same time. The surrounding environment may include but is not limited to large cars. In this way, this article includes adjusting the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the large car and the display distance of the vehicle icon relative to the large car icon, which can both meet user habits and ensure user driving safety.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic image can intuitively display the vehicle icon, the surrounding environment icon, and the corresponding display of the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment, so that the user can timely and accurately grasp the information of the surrounding environment of the vehicle. At the same time, if it is determined that the actual distance meets the conditions for distance adjustment, the adjustment icon for distance adjustment is displayed. In this way, it is recommended that the distance adjustment can be performed at present, so that the user can adjust the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance of the vehicle icon relative to the surrounding environment icon by viewing the adjustment icon, and adjust the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance at the same time. There is no need to analyze and judge based on driving experience, which reduces the safety risks caused by the user's distracted judgment.

[0072] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the above step 120 may further include displaying an adjustment icon for distance adjustment in an adjustable distance manner on or around the vehicle in the electronic image if it is determined that the actual distance reaches the distance adjustment condition.

[0073] The above adjustment icons can also be displayed in the following ways:

[0074] If it is determined that the actual distance does not meet the distance adjustment condition, an adjustment icon for distance adjustment is displayed on the vehicle itself or its surroundings in the electronic image in a non-adjustable distance manner.

[0075] In this way, the adjustment icon is displayed only when the distance can be adjusted. When the distance cannot be adjusted, the adjustment icon is not displayed, which can avoid the obstruction or transparent interference of the adjustment icon.

[0076] Furthermore, the above adjustment icons can be divided into left and right lane boundary distance adjustment icons and / or vehicle distance adjustment icons according to the functions implemented by the adjustment. The left and right lane boundary distance adjustment icons are used to display that the relative distance between the lane boundary of the own vehicle and the current lane is adjustable, so that the vehicle meets the user's preference and travels according to the specific lane boundary distance that the user prefers. The vehicle distance adjustment icon is used to display that the relative distance between the own vehicle and the front and rear vehicles is adjustable, so that the vehicle meets the user's preference and travels according to the vehicle distance that the user prefers.

[0077] The following takes the adjustment of the distance between the left and right lane boundaries as an example for explanation.

[0078] During the driving process of the vehicle, the user may want to fine-tune the distance between the vehicle and the boundaries of the lane on both sides. Therefore, adjustment icons such as direction indicator icons can be generated on both sides of the vehicle icon to indicate fine-tuning the distance between the vehicle and the boundaries of the lane on both sides.

[0079] (1) Determine whether the distances between the two sides of the vehicle and the corresponding two side boundaries of the lane are greater than a preset safety distance.

[0080] (2) If the distance between one side of the vehicle and the corresponding side boundary of the lane is greater than the safety distance, an adjustment icon is displayed on that side of the vehicle in an adjustable distance manner.

[0081] (3) If the distance between one side of the vehicle and the corresponding side boundary of the lane is not greater than the safety distance, an adjustment icon is displayed on that side of the vehicle in a non-adjustable distance manner.

[0082] If the distance between the left side of the vehicle and the left side boundary of the lane is greater than the safety distance, an adjustment icon is displayed on the left side of the vehicle icon in an adjustable distance mode; if the distance between the left side of the vehicle and the left side boundary of the lane is not greater than the safety distance, an icon is displayed on the left side of the vehicle icon in a non-adjustable distance mode;

[0083] If the distance between the right side of the vehicle and the right side boundary of the lane is greater than the safety distance, the adjustment icon will be displayed on the right side of the vehicle icon in an adjustable distance manner; if the distance between the right side of the vehicle and the right side boundary of the lane is not greater than the safety distance, the adjustment icon will be displayed on the right side of the vehicle icon in a non-adjustable distance manner.

[0084] The attributes of the adjustment icon displayed in the non-adjustable distance mode are different from the attributes of the adjustment icon displayed in the adjustable distance mode.

[0085] For example, the two can be distinguished by different colors and / or different logo transparency. For example, the adjustment icon displayed in the non-adjustable distance mode may include a gray transparent or translucent color to display the adjustment icon for distance adjustment. For another example, the adjustment icon displayed in the above adjustable distance mode may include other non-transparent colors to display the adjustment icon for distance adjustment. Among them, the other colors may be colors other than gray.

[0086] For another example, the two are distinguished by different line types. For example, the adjustment icon displayed in the adjustable distance mode can use a solid line, and the adjustment icon displayed in the non-adjustable distance mode can use a dotted line. In this way, the difference between the adjustment icon displayed in the adjustable distance mode and the adjustment icon displayed in the non-adjustable distance mode is reflected by the difference between the solid and the virtual.

[0087] For another example, the two are distinguished by different sizes. For example, the adjustment icon displayed in the adjustable distance mode is relatively large, and the adjustment icon displayed in the non-adjustable distance mode is relatively small. In this way, the difference between the adjustment icon displayed in the adjustable distance mode and the adjustment icon displayed in the non-adjustable distance mode is reflected by the difference in size.

[0088] In this regard, the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific expression of the difference between the adjustment icon displayed in the adjustable distance mode and the adjustment icon displayed in the non-adjustable distance mode, as long as the attributes of the adjustment icon displayed in the adjustable distance mode and the adjustment icon displayed in the non-adjustable distance mode are different.

[0089] In addition, the above-mentioned vehicle distance control method may also include but is not limited to not displaying the above-mentioned adjustment icon on or around the vehicle itself in the above-mentioned electronic image if it is determined that the actual distance does not meet the distance adjustment condition.

[0090] Figure 2 Shown Figure 1 A schematic diagram of multiple adjustment icons of the vehicle distance control method is shown.

[0091] For example, in Figure 2 In the electronic image shown, circled Arabic numerals are used to number the lanes in the surrounding environment in the order in which they appear from right to left in the electronic image, namely, lane ①, lane ②, lane ③, and lane ④. Of course, other types of counting symbols may also be used to number the lanes, such as Chinese numerals. The specific counting symbols in the embodiment of the present application are not limited.

[0092] For example, in Figure 2 In the electronic image shown, first, lane 3 is determined to be the own lane based on the relative positions of lane 1, lane 2, lane 3 and lane 4 to the own vehicle. Then, it is displayed in proportion to the width of the actual lane, and an icon for lane 3 is generated directly below the own vehicle icon with reference to the own vehicle icon. Finally, it is displayed in proportion to the width of the actual lane, and icons for lane 1, lane 2 and lane 4 are generated side by side with the icon for lane 3 at the relative position of the own vehicle icon with reference to the own vehicle icon. Numbers ①, ②, ③ and ④ are generated on the icons for lane 1, lane 2, lane 3 and lane 4, respectively.

[0093] In some embodiments, after the display is proportional to the width of the actual lane, an icon of the own lane is generated below the icon of the own vehicle, an icon of the other lane is generated side by side with the icon of the own lane at the relative position of the icon of the own vehicle, and respective numbers are generated for the icons of the own lane and the other lane and / or around them, the method for generating and displaying the electronic image of the embodiment of the present application also includes the above-mentioned steps (1) to (3).

[0094] Continue to see Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the black vehicle icon is the vehicle icon; the icons corresponding to the other vehicles in front of the vehicle icon are as follows. For example, the vertical dotted and solid lines are lane icons, and the other vehicle icons are other vehicle icons; the gray filled box indicates the adjustment icon. Figure 2 Under the road condition information shown, the surrounding environment includes the vehicle in front, and lanes ①, ②, ③ and ④. Among them: lanes ①, ② and ③ are forward lanes, lane ④ is a reverse lane, lane ③ is the lane where the vehicle is located, and lanes ①, ② and ④ are other lanes where the vehicle is not located; the vehicle in front and the vehicle in the same direction. The vehicle in front can follow or overtake the vehicle in front, and the icon of the vehicle in front can display the pinyin initials G representing the following vehicle and the pinyin initials C representing the overtaking vehicle. The vehicle in front can adjust the distance between the vehicle in front and the following vehicle in front or overtake the vehicle in front through the vehicle control signs G and / or C.

[0095] In the related art, when the user uses the intelligent driving system, the vehicle cannot automatically adjust the distance, and therefore cannot meet the user's expectations.

[0096] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem of meeting user expectations, the vehicle distance control method of the embodiment of the present application may have one or more adjustment icons. These adjustment icons may be divided into display icons and / or touch icons according to the way the icons are operated. Accordingly, step a, obtains an adjustment instruction according to the adjustment icon displayed by the electronic image. Step b, responds to the adjustment instruction and adjusts the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance at the same time.

[0097] Continue as Figure 2The above-mentioned distance adjustment method shown can be indicated by an indication of the direction of the arrow. Specifically, on the intelligent driving perception screen ADV on the central control screen of this article, the vehicle icon is represented by a gray filled box, and four adjustment icons 30 are arranged around the vehicle icon to achieve fine-tuning of the distance in four directions, such as left and right fine-tuning and / or front and back fine-tuning (fine-tuning to reduce the distance forward or fine-tuning to increase the distance backward). Among them, the four adjustment icons 30 include, for example, a forward adjustment method 31 for the vehicle, a backward adjustment method 32 for the vehicle, a right distance adjustment method 33 for the vehicle, and a left distance adjustment method 34 for the vehicle. The "fine" in "fine-tuning" here means that the adjusted distance is smaller than the driving distance. In this way, the adjusted distance is displayed in real time on the intelligent driving perception screen ADV.

[0098] Compared with the related art, in the embodiment of the present application, if it is determined that the actual distance meets the conditions for distance adjustment, an adjustment icon for distance adjustment is displayed. In this way, it is recommended that the distance adjustment can be performed at present, so that the user can adjust the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance of the vehicle icon relative to the surrounding environment icon by viewing the adjustment icon, and adjust the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance at the same time. There is no need to analyze and judge based on driving experience, which reduces the safety risks caused by user distraction. At the same time, according to the adjustment icon displayed on the electronic image, the adjustment instruction is obtained, and the user's adjustment instruction for the adjustment icon can be received in real time in a timely manner, quickly meeting the user's expectations, thereby reducing the situation where the voice command input by the user during the automatic driving process cannot be executed and needs to try to re-enter other instructions, and can also save the vehicle's network resources and power resources, and can reduce the user's operation steps, improving the user experience of automatic driving.

[0099] In this regard, the above adopts at least one of the following optional ways to obtain the adjustment instruction, which are described in detail as follows:

[0100] In an optional acquisition method, the touch icon is touched and the adjustment instruction is generated in real time. In another optional acquisition method, the voice instruction input by the user for the displayed icon is received in real time.

[0101] In such Figure 2In the second optional embodiment shown, the touch icon includes a plurality of touch icons; each touch icon corresponds to a display of a distance adjustment method. Accordingly, first, any touch icon among the touch icons is touched, and the distance adjustment method corresponding to the touched icon is determined. Second, an adjustment instruction is generated according to the corresponding distance adjustment method. Third, in response to the distance adjustment method corresponding to the adjustment instruction, the above-mentioned actual distance and the above-mentioned display distance are adjusted at the same time. The distance adjustment method can be pre-set for each touch icon. When any touch icon is touched, it is only necessary to determine which specific touch icon the touch icon is, and then a corresponding adjustment instruction can be generated according to the specific touch icon being touched, and the above-mentioned actual distance and the above-mentioned display distance can be adjusted at the same time.

[0102] Continue as Figure 2 As shown, when the adjustment icon is operated, it is determined that the left and right lane boundary distance is adjusted. For example, when the adjustment icon is a touch icon, if the touch icon is touched, it is determined that the left and right lane boundary distance is adjusted. The touch icon may include but is not limited to a click button and / or a slide button, and these buttons are modular virtual modules.

[0103] Example 1: Adjusting the distance between the left and right lane boundaries. In this article, you can click and / or slide the adjustment buttons on the left and right sides of the vehicle icon (or the voice contains keywords such as "a little left" or "a little right", or other generalized voices). Each click and / or slide will move closer to the corresponding side according to the preset calibration value. If the intelligent driving system believes there is no risk, it can be adjusted to the nearest line. For the timing of automatic recovery after adjustment, see Figure 2 shown.

[0104] Example 2: Distance adjustment. In this article, you can click and / or slide the adjustment buttons on the front and rear sides of the vehicle icon (or the voice contains keywords such as "a little up / a little down", or other generalized voices). Each click and / or slide will make the following distance with the vehicle in front closer / farther (preset calibration value) until the limit safe distance of intelligent driving is reached, or the distance increases to the point where the following target is lost.

[0105] In a third optional embodiment, a display icon is used to display a distance adjustment method. The first step is to receive a voice command input by a user for the display icon in real time. The second step is to determine whether the content of the voice command matches the displayed distance adjustment method. The third step is, if they match, to adjust the actual distance and displayed distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment according to the matched distance adjustment method. The matched distance adjustment method includes a matched distance adjustment direction and a matched adjustment value; the actual distance and displayed distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment are adjusted according to the matched distance adjustment direction and the matched adjustment value.

[0106] The fourth step is to refuse to respond to the voice command if there is no match.

[0107] Each display icon can display a distance adjustment method. When the user views these display icons, he only needs to follow the distance adjustment method displayed on the display icon to conduct a voice conversation.

[0108] like Figure 2 As shown, the above distance adjustment method can be indicated by the indication of the arrow direction. Specifically, on the intelligent driving perception screen ADV on the central control screen of this article, four adjustment icons are arranged around the gray filled box to represent the vehicle icon. These adjustment icons can be click buttons to achieve fine-tuning of the distance in four directions. The adjusted distance size is displayed in real time on the intelligent driving perception screen ADV. The above distance adjustment method can also be expressed by text description.

[0109] The following is an explanation using the vehicle distance adjustment as an example.

[0110] Figure 3 Shown Figure 1 The flowchart of the vehicle distance control method shown is for implementing the vehicle distance adjustment.

[0111] In such Figure 3 In the specific implementation of the vehicle distance adjustment shown, first, click on the vehicle distance fine adjustment. For example, the vehicle distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front is fine adjusted. Another example is the vehicle distance between the vehicle and the following vehicle is fine adjusted. Second, determine whether the distance adjustment mode is the vehicle forward adjustment mode or the vehicle backward adjustment mode. Third, determine whether the limit distance is exceeded: if the vehicle is adjusted forward, determine whether it exceeds the minimum safe vehicle distance. Or, if the vehicle is adjusted backward, determine whether it exceeds the maximum safe vehicle distance.

[0112] Fourth, if no, that is, it is determined that the minimum safe vehicle distance has not been exceeded, the distance is shortened and displayed on the HMI. Fifth, the distance to the vehicle in front is shortened according to a preset calibration value.

[0113] Sixth, if no, that is, it is determined that the maximum safe vehicle distance is not exceeded, the distance expansion is displayed on the HMI. Seventh, the vehicle distance to the vehicle in front is expanded according to a preset calibration value.

[0114] Eighth, if, that is, it is determined that the maximum safe vehicle distance is exceeded or it is determined that the minimum safe vehicle distance is exceeded, then the adjustment of the vehicle distance and the display of the distance are refused.

[0115] Ninth, the system adjusts the distance between vehicles in real time. Tenth, learn the above user habits. The background in this article learns the user's habit of following the car or the distance between the car and the front car.

[0116] In a third optional embodiment, the system may receive a voice command, thereby determining a specific distance adjustment method, and adjusting the actual distance and the displayed distance at the same time. The voice command may be received through a microphone. Thus, by receiving the voice command, the actual distance and the displayed distance may be adjusted quickly and simultaneously.

[0117] In a fourth optional embodiment, the adjustment instruction includes a current distance adjustment mode; the current distance adjustment mode includes a current distance adjustment direction and a current adjustment value. Step 1, multiple times of real-time acquisition of adjustment instructions for the adjustment icon input. For example, the adjustment icon is controlled in real-time, and the vehicle adjusts the distance according to the controlled content.

[0118] In the second step, if the current adjustment value of this adjustment is accumulated in the current state and it is determined that the actual distance after this adjustment has not reached the limit distance, then respond to this adjustment instruction, adjust the direction according to the current adjustment data and the current distance, and adjust the actual distance and displayed distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment at the same time.

[0119] The current state is used to represent the state of the vehicle and the current surrounding environment. The current adjustment value and adjustment value in this article are set according to user needs.

[0120] Because during the driving process of the vehicle, the vehicle cannot drive too close to one side boundary of the self-lane, otherwise it may scratch the vehicles in the adjacent lane and / or the green plants on the roadside, so a safety distance needs to be preset. This safety distance is the above-mentioned limit distance, so that both sides of the vehicle are kept at a distance of not less than the limit distance from the corresponding two side boundaries of the self-lane.

[0121] In addition, because the vehicle cannot be too close to the vehicle in front during driving, otherwise a scratch may occur, a safety distance needs to be preset. This safety distance is the above-mentioned limit distance, so that the distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front is not less than the limit distance.

[0122] Step 3: If the current adjustment value of this adjustment is accumulated in the current state and it is determined that the actual distance after this adjustment reaches the limit distance, then do not respond or refuse to respond to this adjustment instruction and maintain the current state. This continues until the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment is adjusted to the limit distance, then maintain the current state. At this point, stop adjusting the distance or do not respond to this adjustment instruction and all subsequent adjustment instructions.

[0123] In this regard, based on the above-mentioned left and right lane boundary distance adjustment, and / or, vehicle distance adjustment, detailed description is as follows.

[0124] In an optional embodiment of the left and right lane boundary distance adjustment, the actual distance includes the first actual distance between the vehicle and the lane boundary of the current lane where the vehicle is located; accordingly, the current distance adjustment direction includes the direction of the vehicle to either side of the left or right sides; until the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance of the vehicle icon relative to the surrounding environment icon are adjusted to the limit distance at the same time, including: until the distance of the opposite side of the vehicle is controlled to be adjusted to the first limit distance. If the current adjustment value of this adjustment is accumulated in the current state, and it is determined that the actual distance after this adjustment reaches the limit distance, then the adjustment instruction is not responded to or refused to be responded to, and the current state is maintained or the distance is adjusted to the other side of the left or right sides; the first limit distance is used to indicate that the vehicle is approaching the intersection with the lane boundary, approaching the lane boundary but not crossing.

[0125] In the optional embodiment of the present vehicle distance adjustment, similar to the optional embodiment of the left and right lane boundary distance adjustment described above, compared with the optional embodiment of the left and right lane boundary distance adjustment described above, in the optional embodiment of the present vehicle distance adjustment,

[0126] The above-mentioned actual distance includes the second actual distance of the vehicle relative to other vehicles around the vehicle; other vehicles include the adjacent front vehicle within the safety distance of the vehicle, and the vehicle follows the other vehicle. At this time, the distance between the front vehicle and the vehicle is also called the vehicle distance. Correspondingly, the current distance adjustment direction includes the front of the vehicle; until the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance of the vehicle icon relative to the surrounding environment icon are adjusted to the limit distance at the same time, including: until the distance of the vehicle relative to the front vehicle is controlled to the minimum safe vehicle distance in the limit distance, the current state is maintained; the limit distance is used to indicate that there is a risk of collision between the vehicle and the front vehicle.

[0127] In the vehicle distance control method in this article, when users actually drive their own vehicles, under the condition of safe driving, some users prefer to drive close to the lane boundary, some users prefer to drive close to the middle of the lane, some users also prefer to drive close to the front car, and some users prefer to drive far from the front car. These user preferences can be recorded and learned in the background to obtain the user's distance adjustment habits. In this way, the user's distance adjustment habits can represent the distance adjustment method preferred by the user.

[0128] In this way, users can adjust by themselves, and the system will intelligently learn and memorize related scenarios in the background, and record the user's distance adjustment habits. Later, when the user uses or encounters similar environmental situations, the user's habits in the learned user or historical records will be used first. Detailed description is as follows.

[0129] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, this article can be implemented by at least one of the following optional embodiments, while adjusting the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance:

[0130] In a first optional embodiment, step A determines the current distance adjustment method of the current user's distance adjustment habit from the user's distance adjustment habit recorded in the history according to the identity information of the current user of the vehicle. The user's distance adjustment habit in the history is generated by the following steps: collecting and recording the user's distance adjustment method during each driving process to generate the user's distance adjustment habit.

[0131] Considering that there are two or more family members who share a car in a private car family, the drivers of the same car are likely to be different, and different drivers have different driving habits. Before the vehicle is started, the identity of the current user can be obtained through login authentication; after the vehicle is started, the identity information of the current user can also be obtained through voice recognition. Of course, the identity information of the current user can also be obtained before and / or after the vehicle is started by other methods.

[0132] Continue to combine Figure 1 As shown, these historical records are stored in the database. The above step A can collect the identity information of the current user, compare it with the user identity information stored in the database, and authenticate the identity information of the current user, as follows:

[0133] Collect the identity information of the current user and compare it with the user identity information stored in the vehicle database; if it matches, that is, the stored user identity information contains the identity information of the current user, then the identity information of the current user is authenticated. If it does not match, that is, the stored user identity information does not contain the identity information of the current user, then the identity information of the current user is authenticated but fails.

[0134] The above-mentioned collecting of the identity information of the current user and comparing it with the user identity information stored in the database of the vehicle can be implemented by at least one of the following optional embodiments:

[0135] In an optional embodiment, the current user's identity authentication is performed through biometric identification (such as fingerprint identification, facial recognition or iris scanning). If the current user's biometric identity authentication passes, the current user's authentication passes. If the current user's biometric identity authentication fails, the current user's authentication fails.

[0136] In another optional embodiment, the vehicle-mounted AI (Artificial Intelligence) system or virtual assistant is used to perform voice or behavior recognition, and the identity information of the current user is verified through voice commands or dialogue. If the identity authentication of the current user's voice or behavior recognition passes, the authentication of the current user passes. If the identity authentication of the current user's voice or behavior recognition fails, the authentication of the current user fails.

[0137] The intelligent driving system can record each user's driving habits in advance or in real time during driving. After obtaining the identity of the current user, the driving habits of the current user are obtained from the driving habits of the pre-recorded users.

[0138] It should be noted that driving habits are not a single piece of data, but rather data formed by combining the real-time road conditions indicated by the real-time perception data and the current distance adjustment method adopted by the user under the specific real-time road conditions. Regarding the recording of driving habits, you can refer to the shadow model in the field of computer algorithms, which will not be elaborated here.

[0139] Step B: According to the current distance adjustment method, the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance are adjusted simultaneously.

[0140] For the implementation of step B above, in an optional implementation, the actual distance and displayed distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment are adjusted simultaneously according to the current adjustment value and adjustment direction in the current distance adjustment method. In another optional implementation, the difference between the actual distance of the vehicle in the current adjustment direction and the current adjustment value is determined, and the actual distance and displayed distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment are adjusted simultaneously according to the difference and adjustment direction.

[0141] In different environmental scenarios, the current user may have a distance adjustment method that is used as the current distance adjustment method, such as leaning toward the right lane boundary and / or leaning toward the minimum safety distance with the vehicle in front.

[0142] Of course, if Figure 4 As shown, in different environmental scenes, the current user may have multiple distance adjustment habits, and they may be different. Therefore, the current user may have multiple distance adjustment methods for adjusting the distance, and each distance adjustment method corresponds to a different environmental scene in which the vehicle is located.

[0143] In this article, the current environment scene of the vehicle is collected and determined, and compared with the environment scenes in the user's distance adjustment habits recorded in the history. From the environment scenes in the user's distance adjustment habits recorded in the history, the current environment scene and the current distance adjustment method of the current user's distance adjustment habits are determined. In this way, the current distance adjustment method corresponds to the environment scene of the vehicle.

[0144] Furthermore, if there is a match, the current environment scene and the above-mentioned current distance adjustment method are determined. If there is no match, the commonly used distance adjustment method in the current user's distance adjustment habits is obtained as the current distance adjustment method. The commonly used distance adjustment method is the distance adjustment method with the highest cumulative frequency through real-time or historical records.

[0145] The related art cannot distinguish different environmental scenes, and the setting will affect all the following scenes, and it is also impossible to set different following distances for different environmental scenes. Compared with the related art, in the embodiment of the present application, all the following scenes can be set at one time, and different adjustment distances can be set for different environmental scenes. Of course, the same adjustment distance can also be set.

[0146] It should be noted that the user habit includes the user habit of adjusting the distance between the left and right lane boundaries and / or the user habit of adjusting the vehicle distance. This is described in detail as follows.

[0147] Continue to see Figure 4 As shown, when it is determined that the left and right lane boundaries are adjusted, it is determined whether the left and right lane boundaries can be determined. The left and right lane boundaries may include but are not limited to having clear lane lines and / or not having clear lane lines. The left and right lane boundaries without clear lane lines can be determined by the surrounding vehicle scene.

[0148] Collect and determine the current environmental scenario of the vehicle. For example, the different environmental scenarios of the above-mentioned vehicle may include but are not limited to different environmental scenarios of left and right lane boundary distance adjustment (also called left and right fine-tuning), and / or different environmental scenarios of vehicle distance adjustment.

[0149] Illustratively, when making fine adjustments left or right, there are environmental scenarios ahead that require the vehicle to avoid, such as a small car squeezing in the adjacent lane in front of the vehicle, a large truck in the adjacent lane in front of the vehicle, pedestrians in front of the vehicle, and a motorcycle in front of the vehicle, etc. Accordingly, the above-mentioned distance adjustment method may include restoring the center after the vehicle passes.

[0150] Next, when fine-tuning left and right, the vehicle needs to urgently leave the environment scenario, for example, there is a dangerous boundary next to the vehicle, or there is an isolation belt next to the vehicle. Accordingly, the above distance adjustment method may include maintaining the distance until leaving the vehicle environment.

[0151] In addition, when the vehicle is fine-tuned left or right, the vehicle maintains the environment scenario of the lane, for example, there is no abnormality / other emergencies, and accordingly, the distance adjustment method may include maintaining the vehicle environment until changing lanes. Continue to judge according to different environment scenarios of left or right fine-tuning, and record the above different environment scenarios and the distance adjustment methods corresponding to the different environment scenarios as the above user habits.

[0152] In this regard, the distance adjustment method is used as the user's habit when the vehicle is in the above different environmental scenes, and the user's habit is learned.

[0153] In the embodiments of the present application, the above two optional embodiments can be executed independently or in combination. In this way, effective fine-tuning of the following distance and lateral distance and scenario-based memory of user habits can be achieved through the WYSIWYG method. At the same time, different spacings can be set for different environmental scenarios, and the background automatically identifies and saves them for use in subsequent intelligent driving processes.

[0154] Combined with Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the above adjustment icon is used to represent the distance adjustment method; accordingly, the above step 130 may include but is not limited to: adjusting the actual distance and displayed distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment according to the current distance adjustment direction and the current adjustment value of the distance adjustment method.

[0155] The current adjustment value of the embodiment described above can be implemented by using at least one of the following examples:

[0156] In the first example, the current adjustment value may include but is not limited to a preset calibration value.

[0157] Here, the above-mentioned preset calibration value can be a single value or a series of values ​​with a changing trend.

[0158] Next, the preset calibration value is used to indicate the degree of adjustment of each distance adjustment. The preset calibration value can be sent from the cloud to the vehicle side, and the preset calibration value can be modified according to user needs while meeting the requirements of safe driving. When the preset calibration value is a value, it means that each adjustment is made according to the same value and the distance changes are adjusted. The adjustment button in the related art sets two buttons for increasing the distance and decreasing the distance, so that the user can set the following distance, usually 3-5 adjustment gears, generally with a minimum of 3 gears to a maximum of 5 gears. It can be seen that the adjustment gear is fixed, the distance adjustment granularity is coarse, and it cannot be finely adjusted. Compared with the related art, in the embodiment of the present application, as long as the requirements of safe driving such as the limit distance are met, the vehicle distance can be adjusted nearly steplessly, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the distance.

[0159] Moreover, the numerical values ​​of the above-mentioned specific change trends indicate that the distance is not necessarily adjusted according to the same numerical value each time the adjustment is made, but the preset calibration value is proportional to the limit distance. That is, as the number of adjustment instructions increases, the distance between the actual distance of the vehicle and the limit distance gradually decreases, and the preset calibration value for each adjustment gradually decreases. In this way, as the preset calibration value gradually decreases between the vehicle and the limit distance, the preset calibration value for each adjustment is graded, and the smaller the graded spacing is. In this way, when approaching the limit distance, the distance is adjusted as small as possible. In this way, detailed fine-tuning can be performed to reduce the potential danger of the vehicle, while meeting the user's adjustment needs and satisfying the user's sense of security.

[0160] In the first example above, the adjustment can be made directly according to the preset calibration value, thereby improving the reaction efficiency of the distance adjustment.

[0161] In the second example, the current distance adjustment method corresponds to different environmental scenarios in which the vehicle is located.

[0162] In the third example, the current adjustment value in the current distance adjustment method is obtained in the following manner: if the user distance adjustment habit recorded in the history includes the current distance adjustment method of the current user's adjustment habit, indicating that the current user's adjustment habit is satisfied, then the adjustment value of the current distance adjustment method is used as the current adjustment value. If the user distance adjustment habit recorded in the history does not include the current distance adjustment method of the current user's adjustment habit, indicating that the current user's adjustment habit is not satisfied, then the adjustment can be made according to the preset calibration value.

[0163] Furthermore, if the distance adjustment method of the current user's distance adjustment habit is obtained from the historical records, it is used as the current distance adjustment method; the adjustment value of the current distance adjustment method is used as the current adjustment value. In this way, the adjustment can continue according to the user's habit. If the current user's habit is not satisfied, the adjustment can also be made according to the preset calibration value.

[0164] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no adjustment means for the lateral distance, and the user is very sensitive to the lateral distance because there are usually guardrails, vehicles, pedestrians and other objects closely related to safety on the side.

[0165] In the embodiments of the present application, the following technical effects can also be achieved:

[0166] 1) The lateral distance can be fine-tuned to satisfy the user's sense of security.

[0167] 2) The adjustment of the following distance can be almost stepless, which is more diverse.

[0168] 3) Different distances can be set for different environmental scenarios, and the background will automatically identify and save them for use in subsequent intelligent driving processes.

[0171] An adjustment icon display module 52 is used to display an adjustment icon for distance adjustment on or around the vehicle in the electronic image if it is determined that the actual distance meets the distance adjustment condition;

[0172] The adjustment module 53 is used to adjust the actual distance of the vehicle relative to the surrounding environment and the displayed distance of the vehicle icon relative to the surrounding environment icon at the same time according to the adjustment icon displayed on the electronic image.
