[0049] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] In the actual development process, the conflict between the business logic of Google Car Services and the vehicle design strategy has become increasingly prominent. Google Car Services has its own technical specifications and will not adapt to the logic of the carrier. The design strategy of the vehicle is subject to the architecture design of the vehicle manufacturer, which often affects the entire system and is not easy to change. This conflict has led to certain restrictions on the application of Google Car Services in the vehicle system. It is necessary to find a solution to coordinate the relationship between the two, requiring the following two goals to be achieved: meet Google's XTS test and CUJ test, and meet the business scenarios defined by the vehicle manufacturer.

[0051] XTS testing: A series of code-level certification tests for Android devices to ensure that the device is highly compatible with the Android system at the hardware and software levels, and can seamlessly support Google services and a wide range of application ecosystems.

[0052] CUJ testing: focuses on verifying whether user interaction can achieve its purpose smoothly and without hindrance, ensuring that the core functions of the product meet user needs.

[0053] The background technology mentioned that in the scenario of adjusting the air volume of the car air conditioner through the voice assistant, the voice assistant cannot achieve complete adjustment of all air volume levels in automatic mode and manual mode. This technical problem is explained with a specific example: assuming that the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is 1-9, the manual mode range provided by the air conditioner controller is 1-9, and the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioner controller is 10-14. Without any additional processing, when the air conditioner is in manual mode, the voice assistant can complete 9-speed air volume adjustment, and when the air conditioner is in automatic mode, the voice assistant cannot complete the air volume adjustment.

[0054] The inventor tried the first solution as follows: modify the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant to 1-14, so that it corresponds to the 9 air volume levels in manual mode and the 5 air volume levels in automatic mode from small to large, and the vehicle system sends the value set by the voice assistant directly to the air conditioning controller. In this way, when the air conditioner is in automatic mode, the voice assistant can complete the 5-level air volume adjustment.

[0055] However, when the air conditioner is in manual mode, if the value set by the voice assistant is 10-14, since the manual mode range provided by the air conditioner controller is 1-9, it will be shown that the setting is unsuccessful and does not meet the XTS certification, because the XTS certification requires that under a certain premise (the project defines manual mode), when the voice assistant sets any legal value, the setting must be successful. Therefore, the first solution is not feasible.

[0056] The inventor tried the second solution as follows: keep the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant unchanged at 1-9. When the air conditioner is in manual mode, the vehicle system directly sends the value set by the voice assistant to the air conditioner controller. When the air conditioner is in automatic mode, the vehicle system converts the value set by the voice assistant to 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 respectively and sends it to the air conditioner controller. In this way, the second solution can meet the XTS certification.

[0057] However, when the air conditioner is in automatic mode, the user sends a command to the voice assistant to "adjust to maximum air volume", and the voice assistant will set it to 9, but the car system will not respond at this time, indicating that the setting is unsuccessful, cannot meet user needs, and does not meet CUJ certification.

[0058] The inventor further optimized the second solution and proposed this application, so that the voice assistant can achieve complete adjustment of all air volume levels in automatic mode and manual mode, and meet the XTS test and CUJ test.

[0059] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for adjusting the air volume of an automobile air conditioner.

[0061] Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing a flow chart of a method for adjusting air volume of an automobile air conditioner in an embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 2 A system architecture diagram of a method for adjusting air volume of an automobile air conditioner in one embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0062] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the automobile air conditioning air volume adjustment method comprises the following steps:

[0063] S1. receiving a first air volume level input by a user through a voice assistant, wherein the first air volume level is within an air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant;

[0064] S2. If the air conditioner is in manual mode, determining a corresponding value of the first air volume level under the first mapping as a second air volume level, and sending the second air volume level to the air conditioner controller, wherein the first mapping is a mapping of an air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant to a manual mode range provided by the air conditioner controller;

[0065] S3. If the air conditioner is in automatic mode, the corresponding value of the first air volume level under the second mapping is determined as the third air volume level, and the third air volume level is sent to the air conditioner controller, wherein the second mapping is a mapping of the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant to the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioner controller.

[0066] In this embodiment, the air volume level in the voice assistant business logic is called the first air volume level, the air volume level in the manual mode in the air conditioning controller business logic is called the second air volume level, and the air volume level in the automatic mode is called the third air volume level.

[0067] The second solution mentioned above establishes a conversion relationship between each second air volume level and a first air volume level in manual mode, and establishes a conversion relationship between each third air volume level and a first air volume level in automatic mode. As a result, when the voice assistant sets the first air volume level for which a conversion relationship has not been established, the vehicle system does not respond, resulting in unsuccessful setting.

[0068] The difference of this embodiment is that the mapping of the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant to the manual mode range and the automatic mode range provided by the air-conditioning controller is completely defined. Regardless of whether the air-conditioning is in automatic mode or manual mode, the vehicle system will respond to any first air volume level set by the voice assistant to avoid unsuccessful settings.

[0069] It should be noted that the above-mentioned air volume interface range 1-9 provided by the voice assistant, the manual mode range 1-9 provided by the air-conditioning controller, and the automatic mode range 10-14 are only examples. The specific number of air volume levels and values ​​can be set according to actual conditions. It is necessary to ensure that the number of air volume levels provided by the voice assistant is greater than or equal to the number of air volume levels in the manual mode provided by the air-conditioning controller, and the number of air volume levels provided by the voice assistant is greater than or equal to the number of air volume levels in the automatic mode provided by the air-conditioning controller, so as to meet the basic requirements for establishing the first mapping and the second mapping.

[0070] It is understandable that when the number of air volume levels provided by the voice assistant is greater than the number of air volume levels in the manual mode provided by the air conditioning controller, at least two first air volume levels will determine the same second air volume level, and reasonable settings need to be made according to business logic. For example, the largest number of first air volume levels will determine the largest second air volume level. The same applies when the number of air volume levels provided by the voice assistant is greater than the number of air volume levels in the automatic mode provided by the air conditioning controller.

[0071] Therefore, in this embodiment, the vehicle system acts as a medium between the voice assistant and the air conditioning controller, and defines a first mapping from the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant to the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller, and defines a second mapping from the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant to the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller, so that in automatic mode and manual mode, any air volume level in the voice assistant business logic can be converted into an air volume level in the air conditioning controller business logic that is logically equivalent to it, achieving compatibility between the voice assistant and the air conditioning controller business logic, and meeting user needs. Through this application, the voice assistant can achieve complete adjustment of all air volume levels in automatic mode and manual mode, and meet the XTS test and CUJ test.

[0072] Further, in one embodiment, the lower limit value of the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is 1, and the upper limit value is a first upper limit value, the lower limit value of the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is 1, and the upper limit value is a second upper limit value, the lower limit value of the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is the second upper limit value plus 1, and the upper limit value is a third upper limit value, the second upper limit value is less than or equal to the first upper limit value, and the third upper limit value is less than or equal to twice the first upper limit value;

[0073] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the first mapping is equal to the smaller one of the first air volume level and the second upper limit value;

[0074] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the second mapping is equal to the smaller one of the sum of the first air volume level and the second upper limit value and the third upper limit value.

[0075] Specifically, this embodiment can be expressed by a formula: the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is [1, a], the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [1, b], and the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [b+1, c], where a is the first upper limit value, b is the second upper limit value, c is the third upper limit value, 1 <b≤a,b+1<c≤2a;

[0076] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the first mapping is equal to min(x,b), and the corresponding value of the first air volume level under the second mapping is equal to min(x+b,c), where x is the first air volume level, x∈[1,a], and min() means taking the minimum value.

[0077] Reference Figure 3For example, let the first upper limit value and the second upper limit value both be equal to 9, and the third upper limit value be equal to 14. Then the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is [1,9], the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [1,9], and the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [10,14]. In the first mapping, 1 corresponds to 1, 2 corresponds to 2, ..., 9 corresponds to 9. In the second mapping, 1 corresponds to 10, 2 corresponds to 11, 3 corresponds to 12, 4 corresponds to 13, and 5-9 all correspond to 14.

[0078] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the first mapping and the second mapping in another embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0079] Reference Figure 4 For example, let the first upper limit be 9, the second upper limit be 8, and the third upper limit be 13. Then the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is [1,9], the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [1,8], and the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [9,13]. In the first mapping, 1 corresponds to 1, 2 corresponds to 2, ..., 7 corresponds to 7, and 8 and 9 both correspond to 8. In the second mapping, 1 corresponds to 9, 2 corresponds to 10, 3 corresponds to 11, 4 corresponds to 12, and 5-9 all correspond to 13.

[0080] Further, in one embodiment, the lower limit value of the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is 1, and the upper limit value is a first upper limit value, the lower limit value of the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is 1, and the upper limit value is a second upper limit value, the lower limit value of the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is the second upper limit value plus 1, and the upper limit value is a third upper limit value, the second upper limit value is less than or equal to the first upper limit value, and the third upper limit value is less than or equal to twice the first upper limit value;

[0081] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the first mapping is equal to the smaller of the sum of the first air volume level and the second upper limit value and the third upper limit value;

[0082] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the second mapping is equal to the smaller one of the first air volume level and the second upper limit value.

[0083] Specifically, this embodiment can be expressed by a formula: the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is [1, a], the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [1, b], and the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [b+1, c], where a is the first upper limit value, b is the second upper limit value, c is the third upper limit value, 1 <b≤a,b+1<c≤2a;

[0084] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the first mapping is equal to min(x+b,c), and the corresponding value of the first air volume level under the second mapping is equal to min(x,b), where x is the first air volume level, x∈[1,a], and min() means taking the minimum value.

[0085] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the manual mode of the previous embodiment is arranged before the automatic mode, while the manual mode of this embodiment is arranged after the automatic mode, so that the first mapping of this embodiment is the same as the second mapping of the previous embodiment, and the second mapping of this embodiment is the same as the first mapping of the previous embodiment.

[0086] Optionally, the arrangement relationship between the manual mode and the automatic mode is determined by the design of the air-conditioning controller. Usually, the manual mode is arranged before the automatic mode because it provides more air volume levels.

[0087] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the automobile air conditioning air volume adjustment method further includes:

[0088] receiving a second air volume level or a third air volume level from an air conditioning controller;

[0089] If a second air volume level is received, a corresponding value of the second air volume level under the third mapping is determined as the first air volume level, and the first air volume level is sent to the voice assistant, wherein the third mapping is a mapping of a manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller to an air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant;

[0090] If a third air volume level is received, the corresponding value of the third air volume level under the fourth mapping is determined as the first air volume level, and the first air volume level is sent to the voice assistant, wherein the fourth mapping is a mapping of the automatic mode range provided by the air-conditioning controller to the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant.

[0091] Reference Figure 2 The aforementioned embodiments mainly describe the forward process from the voice assistant to the vehicle system and from the vehicle system to the air-conditioning controller. Usually, a complete control system will also involve the reverse process from the air-conditioning controller to the vehicle system and from the vehicle system to the voice assistant, which is usually used to feedback the control results.

[0092] In this embodiment, a third mapping is defined for the manual mode range provided by the air-conditioning controller to the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant, and a fourth mapping is defined for the automatic mode range provided by the air-conditioning controller to the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant, so that any air volume level in the business logic of the air-conditioning controller can be converted into an air volume level that is logically equivalent to it in the business logic of the voice assistant, so as to achieve correct information feedback.

[0093] Further, in one embodiment, the lower limit value of the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is 1, and the upper limit value is a first upper limit value, the lower limit value of the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is 1, and the upper limit value is a second upper limit value, the lower limit value of the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is the second upper limit value plus 1, and the upper limit value is a third upper limit value, the second upper limit value is less than or equal to the first upper limit value, and the third upper limit value is less than or equal to twice the first upper limit value;

[0094] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the first mapping is equal to the smaller of the sum of the first air volume level and the second upper limit value and the third upper limit value;

[0095] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the second mapping is equal to the smaller one of the first air volume level and the second upper limit value;

[0096] The corresponding value of the second air volume level under the third mapping is equal to the second air volume level;

[0097] The corresponding value of the third air volume level under the fourth mapping is equal to the difference between the third air volume level and the second upper limit value.

[0098] Specifically, this embodiment can be expressed by a formula: the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is [1, a], the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [1, b], and the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [b+1, c], where a is the first upper limit value, b is the second upper limit value, c is the third upper limit value, 1 <b≤a,b+1<c≤2a;

[0099] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the first mapping is equal to min(x+b,c), the corresponding value of the first air volume level under the second mapping is equal to min(x,b), the corresponding value of the second air volume level under the third mapping is equal to y, and the corresponding value of the third air volume level under the fourth mapping is equal to zb, wherein x is the first air volume level, x∈[1,a], y is the second air volume level, y∈[1,b], z is the third air volume level, z∈[b+1,c], and min() means taking the minimum value.

[0100] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the third mapping and the fourth mapping in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0101] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5, for example, let the first upper limit value and the second upper limit value both be equal to 9, and the third upper limit value be equal to 14, then the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is [1,9], the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [1,9], and the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [10,14]. In the first mapping, 1 corresponds to 1, 2 corresponds to 2, ..., 9 corresponds to 9.

In the fourth mapping, 10 corresponds to 1, 11 corresponds to 2, 12 corresponds to 3, 13 corresponds to 4, and 14 corresponds to 5.

[0103] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 , for example, let the first upper limit value be 9, the second upper limit value be 8, and the third upper limit value be 13, then the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is [1,9], the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [1,8], and the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [9,13]. In the first mapping, 1 corresponds to 1, 2 corresponds to 2, ..., 7 corresponds to 7, and 8 and 9 both correspond to 8. In the second mapping, 1 corresponds to 9, 2 corresponds to 10, 3 corresponds to 11, 4 corresponds to 12, and 5-9 all correspond to 13. In the third mapping, 1 corresponds to 1, 2 corresponds to 2, ..., 8 corresponds to 8. In the fourth mapping, 9 corresponds to 1, 10 corresponds to 2, 11 corresponds to 3, 12 corresponds to 4, and 13 corresponds to 5.

[0104] Further, in one embodiment, the lower limit value of the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is 1, and the upper limit value is a first upper limit value, the lower limit value of the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is 1, and the upper limit value is a second upper limit value, the lower limit value of the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is the second upper limit value plus 1, and the upper limit value is a third upper limit value, the second upper limit value is less than or equal to the first upper limit value, and the third upper limit value is less than or equal to twice the first upper limit value;

[0105] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the first mapping is equal to the smaller of the sum of the first air volume level and the second upper limit value and the third upper limit value;

[0106] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the second mapping is equal to the smaller one of the first air volume level and the second upper limit value;

[0107] The corresponding value of the second air volume level under the third mapping is equal to the difference between the second air volume level and the second upper limit value;

[0108] The corresponding value of the third air volume level under the fourth mapping is equal to the third air volume level.

[0109] Specifically, this embodiment can be expressed by a formula: the air volume interface range provided by the voice assistant is [1, a], the automatic mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [1, b], and the manual mode range provided by the air conditioning controller is [b+1, c], where a is the first upper limit value, b is the second upper limit value, c is the third upper limit value, 1 <b≤a,b+1<c≤2a;

[0110] The corresponding value of the first air volume level under the first mapping is equal to min(x+b,c), the corresponding value of the first air volume level under the second mapping is equal to min(x,b), the corresponding value of the second air volume level under the third mapping is equal to yb, and the corresponding value of the third air volume level under the fourth mapping is equal to z, wherein x is the first air volume level, x∈[1,a], y is the second air volume level, y∈[b+1,c], z is the third air volume level, z∈[1,b], and min() means taking the minimum value.

[0111] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the manual mode of the previous embodiment is arranged before the automatic mode, while the manual mode of this embodiment is arranged after the automatic mode, so that the first mapping of this embodiment is the same as the second mapping of the previous embodiment, the second mapping of this embodiment is the same as the first mapping of the previous embodiment, the third mapping of this embodiment is the same as the fourth mapping of the previous embodiment, and the fourth mapping of this embodiment is the same as the third mapping of the previous embodiment.

[0112] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the automobile air conditioning air volume adjustment method further includes:

[0113] receiving mode information input by a user through a voice assistant, and sending the mode information to an air conditioning controller, wherein the mode information is a manual mode or an automatic mode;

[0114] If mode information is received within a preset interval before and after the first air volume level is received, it is determined that the air conditioner is in the operating mode corresponding to the mode information;

[0115] If no mode information is received within a preset interval before or after the first air volume level is received, the air conditioner controller is queried about the working mode of the air conditioner.

[0116] In this embodiment, the voice assistant is also used to set the working mode of the air conditioner. In this case, the vehicle system can select a method to determine the working mode of the air conditioner. When the first air volume level and mode information are received in a short time, since the mode setting operation needs to be performed, it is not necessary to query the working mode of the air conditioner from the air conditioner controller, which helps to speed up the processing. Accordingly, when only the first air volume level is received in a short time, it is necessary to query the working mode of the air conditioner from the air conditioner controller.

[0117] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the automobile air conditioning air volume adjustment method further includes:

[0118] After receiving the first air volume level, the air conditioner controller is queried about the working mode of the air conditioner.

[0119] In this embodiment, after receiving the first air volume level, the vehicle system directly queries the air-conditioning controller for the working mode of the air-conditioning, which helps to simplify the system design.
