[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0033] To address the inconvenience of getting in and out of SUVs and other vehicles, some manufacturers or consumers have opted to install fixed steps on the corresponding door panels. However, due to the limited usability of these fixed steps relative to the vehicle's driving conditions, they not only affect the vehicle's maneuverability when idle but also increase wind resistance, making it difficult to balance convenience in getting in and out of the vehicle with performance in these scenarios.

[0034] In view of this, the present application discloses a control scheme for a vehicle pedal, which can automatically control the vehicle pedal based on the effective information in the door information used to indicate the opening and closing status of the door, so that the vehicle pedal can automatically adjust the extension and retraction state according to the actual needs of the passengers, which can not only meet the needs of passengers getting on and off the vehicle, but also avoid affecting the performance of the vehicle itself.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation scenario provided by the embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , the implementation scenario provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a vehicle 11 and a pedal 12.

[0036] The step 12 can be mounted on the chassis of the vehicle 11 at a location corresponding to the door. When in use, the step 12 can be extended from the corresponding location of the door to facilitate passengers getting on and off the vehicle. The step 12 can also be retracted when idle to avoid affecting the vehicle's driving situation. The step 12 can be extended and retracted in various ways, such as by sinking, sliding in and out horizontally, or lifting and lowering. Depending on the implementation method, the step 12 can include, for example, a retracting device or a lifting device, and this application does not impose any restrictions in this regard.

[0037] The vehicle 11 is equipped with a control system or an on-board terminal that can control the pedal 12. The control system and the pedal 12 can be connected in a wired or wireless manner, so that the pedal 12 can be extended or retracted under the control of the control system.

[0038] Optionally, the control system installed in the vehicle 11 may be an onboard controller, control system, etc. installed in the vehicle, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0039] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above-mentioned vehicle 11 and pedal 12 are only examples. Other existing or future vehicles or pedals that are applicable to this application should also be included in the scope of protection of this application and are included here by reference.

[0040] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for controlling a vehicle pedal provided by an embodiment of the present application. This method can be executed by a control system installed in a vehicle, for example. This application does not impose any limitation in this regard. Figure 2 The vehicle pedal control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

[0041] Step S210: Obtain door information indicating the open / closed state of the vehicle door and vehicle state information corresponding to the door information.

[0042] For example, the door opening / closing state may be, for example, a door closed state, a door open state, or a state in which the door changes from open to closed or from closed to open. The door information indicating the door opening / closing state may be obtained, for example, by any method such as a sensor or detection circuit for detecting the door opening / closing state, or a combination of any of these methods. The status information corresponding to the door information may be, for example, at least one of any vehicle-related information such as vehicle speed, interior temperature, and seat status when the door information is obtained. This application does not impose any limitations on the above aspects.

[0043] In some embodiments, the vehicle door information may include, for example, vehicle door opening information indicating that a vehicle door is open and vehicle door closing information indicating that a vehicle door is closed. The vehicle door opening information may include, for example, first opening information indicating that a vehicle door is opened from the inside and second opening information indicating that a vehicle door is opened from the outside. In some embodiments, the first opening information and the second opening information may be obtained by, for example, providing multiple sensors or detection circuits for detecting the door opening and closing status at all door switches, numbering the multiple sensors or detection circuits for detecting the door opening and closing status, and obtaining the first door opening information and the second door opening information based on the differently numbered sensors or detection circuits for detecting the door opening and closing status.

[0044] Considering that a vehicle may include multiple doors, the door opening and closing states of the multiple doors may be independent of each other. Therefore, in some embodiments, the door information may be used to indicate the door opening and closing state of at least one of the multiple doors of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the multiple doors of the vehicle may be distinguished by door identity information corresponding to each of the multiple doors. The door information may also be used to indicate the door identity information of the multiple doors, so that the opening and closing state of each of the multiple doors of the vehicle can be determined based on the door information, thereby controlling the extension or retraction of multiple vehicle pedals corresponding to the multiple doors.

[0045] In some embodiments, the door identity information corresponding to multiple doors can be, for example, door position labels such as left front, left rear, right front, and right rear, or multiple doors can be numbered according to the number of doors. This application does not impose any restrictions in this regard.

[0046] Step S220 , identifying the vehicle door information according to the status information corresponding to the vehicle door information to determine valid information in the vehicle door information, where the valid information is used to indicate a real demand for the vehicle pedal.

[0047] Optionally, the valid information may be, for example, the door information corresponding to when the passenger needs the vehicle pedal to be extended or retracted, which is used to indicate the passenger's actual need to extend or retract the vehicle pedal. As mentioned above, the present application can automatically control the vehicle pedal to meet the needs of passengers in scenarios such as getting on and off the vehicle. Among them, the automated control scenario of the vehicle pedal is highly correlated with the door opening and closing state. For example, when the vehicle pedal is needed and the vehicle pedal is automatically extended, the vehicle door is usually in an open state, or in a state changing from closed to open; when the vehicle pedal is not needed and the vehicle pedal is automatically retracted, the vehicle door is usually in a closed state, or in a state changing from open to closed. In view of this, all possible needs of the passenger for extending or retracting the vehicle pedal can be predicted based on the door information used to indicate the door opening and closing state.

[0048] Furthermore, considering that in some scenarios, when the vehicle door is in a closed state or changes from open to closed-open state, the vehicle pedal may not need to be retracted; or when the vehicle door is in an open state or changes from closed to open state, the pedal may not need to be extended. In other words, all possible demands predicted based on the door information indicating the door opening and closing state may include: invalid demands where the passenger does not need to extend or retract the vehicle pedal, and real demands where the passenger does need to extend or retract the vehicle pedal. In view of this, the door information can be identified based on the vehicle status information corresponding to the door information, and invalid demands from all possible demands predicted based on the door information can be filtered out. The real demands where the passenger needs to extend or retract the vehicle pedal are retained, and the door information corresponding to the real demands is determined as valid information, and the vehicle pedal is then controlled based on the valid information.

[0049] Among them, the invalid demands of passengers who do not need the vehicle pedal to be extended or retracted may include at least the first invalid demand, the second invalid demand, the third invalid demand, the fourth invalid demand, the fifth invalid demand, etc. according to different implementation methods; the real demands of passengers who need the vehicle pedal to be extended or retracted may include at least the first real demand, the second real demand, the third real demand, the fourth real demand, the fifth real demand, etc. according to different implementation methods, including but not limited to the following five examples.

[0050] In the first case, using the pedals at high speeds can pose a safety hazard. In this case, the predicted demand based on the door information acquired at high speeds may be a first invalid demand, where the passenger does not need to extend or retract the pedals. Therefore, the door information can be identified based on the vehicle's speed to prevent ineffective extension or retraction of the pedals based on the door information corresponding to the first invalid demand.

[0051] In some embodiments, the status information may include, for example, vehicle speed information indicating the vehicle speed. The door information is identified based on the status information corresponding to the door information to determine the valid information in the door information. For example, the status information may include: identifying the door opening information based on the speed information corresponding to the door opening information to determine the door opening information corresponding to the speed information less than the speed threshold as the first valid information. The first valid information may be, for example, valid information corresponding to the first real demand of the passenger to extend or retract the vehicle pedal when the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the speed threshold. The value of the speed threshold may be set based on experience or adjusted by the user, for example, it may be 5km / h, 4km / h, 3km / h, 2km / h, 1km / h, 0km / h, etc. The present application does not impose any restrictions in this regard.

[0052] In some embodiments, controlling the vehicle pedal to extend or retract according to valid information may include, for example: controlling the vehicle pedal to extend or retract according to first valid information.

[0053] In the second scenario, when there is no passenger in the vehicle seat, that is, when the vehicle seat is unoccupied, the possible demand predicted based on the first opening information indicating that the vehicle door is to be opened from the inside may be a second invalid demand, in which the passenger does not need the vehicle pedal to be extended or retracted. Therefore, the first opening information can be identified based on whether the vehicle seat is occupied to avoid invalid extension of the vehicle pedal when the first opening information does not correspond to the second invalid demand.

[0054] In some embodiments, the status information may include, for example, first seat information indicating that a vehicle seat is occupied. The door information is identified based on the status information corresponding to the door information to determine valid information in the door information. This may include, for example, identifying the first opening information based on the first seat information corresponding to the first opening information to determine the first opening information corresponding to the first seat information as second valid information. The second valid information may, for example, be valid information corresponding to a second real need of a passenger to extend or retract a vehicle pedal when the vehicle seat is occupied and the vehicle door is opened from the inside. The criteria for determining the correspondence between the first opening information and the first seat information may be as follows: at least one of the multiple seats in the same row as the door opened from the inside of the vehicle indicated by the first opening information and having a smaller distance from the door is associated with the door.

[0055] In some embodiments, controlling the extension or retraction of the vehicle pedal according to the valid information may include, for example, controlling the extension of the vehicle pedal according to the second valid information.

[0056] In the third scenario, when a passenger is seated in the vehicle, that is, the vehicle seat is occupied, the possible demand predicted based on the second opening information indicating that the vehicle door is to be opened from the outside may be a third invalid demand, where the passenger does not need the vehicle pedal to be extended or retracted. Therefore, the second opening information can be identified based on whether the vehicle seat is occupied to avoid invalid extension of the vehicle pedal controlled by the second opening information corresponding to the third invalid demand.

[0057] In some embodiments, the status information may include, for example, second seat information indicating that a vehicle seat is occupied. The door information is identified based on the status information corresponding to the door information to determine valid information within the door information. This may include, for example, identifying the second opening information based on the second seat information corresponding to the second opening information to determine the first opening information corresponding to the second seat information as third valid information. The third valid information may, for example, be valid information corresponding to a third actual need, indicating that the vehicle seat is unoccupied and a passenger needs to extend the vehicle step when the vehicle door is opened from the outside. The criteria for determining the correspondence between the second opening information and the second seat information may be as follows: at least one of the multiple seats in the same row as the door opened from the inside of the vehicle indicated by the second opening information and having a relatively short distance from the door is associated with the door.

[0058] In some embodiments, controlling the extension or retraction of the vehicle pedal according to the valid information may include, for example, controlling the extension of the vehicle pedal according to third valid information.

[0059] In the fourth case, when the vehicle door is open for a short time, the possible demand predicted based on the door opening information may be a fourth invalid demand, in which the passenger does not need to extend or retract the vehicle step. Therefore, the door opening information can be identified based on the vehicle door opening time to avoid ineffective extension or retraction of the vehicle step controlled by the door opening information corresponding to the fourth invalid demand.

[0060] In some embodiments, the status information may include, for example, first time information indicating the vehicle door opening time. The door information is identified based on the status information corresponding to the door information to determine valid information in the door information. For example, this may include: identifying the door opening information based on the first time information corresponding to the door opening information to determine the door opening information corresponding to the first time information greater than the first time threshold as fourth valid information. The fourth valid information may, for example, be valid information corresponding to a fourth real need of a passenger to extend the vehicle pedal when the vehicle door opening start time is greater than the first time threshold. The value of the first time threshold may be, for example, 20s, 25s, 30s, 35s, 40s, 45s, 50s, etc., and this application does not impose any restrictions in this regard.

[0061] In some embodiments, controlling the extension or retraction of the vehicle pedal according to the valid information may include, for example, controlling the extension of the vehicle pedal according to the fourth valid information.

[0062] In the fifth case, when the door is closed for a short time, the possible demand predicted based on the door closing information may be the fifth invalid demand, where the passenger does not need to extend or retract the vehicle step. Therefore, the door closing information can be identified based on the door closing time to avoid ineffective extension or retraction of the vehicle step controlled by the door closing information corresponding to the fifth invalid demand.

[0063] In some embodiments, the status information may include, for example, second time information indicating the closing time of the vehicle's door. The door information is identified based on the status information corresponding to the door information to determine the valid information in the door information. For example, this may include: identifying the door closing information based on the second time information corresponding to the door closing information to determine the door closing information corresponding to the second time information greater than the second time threshold as the fifth valid information. The fifth valid information may, for example, be valid information corresponding to the fifth real demand of the passenger to retract the vehicle pedal when the vehicle's door closing time is greater than the second time threshold. The value of the first time threshold may, for example, be 60s, 65s, 70s, 75s, 80s, 85s, 90s, etc. This application does not impose any restrictions in this regard.

[0064] In some embodiments, controlling the extension or retraction of the vehicle pedal according to the valid information may include, for example, controlling the retraction of the vehicle pedal according to the fifth valid information.

[0065] In addition to the five situations described above, the vehicle pedal control method provided herein can also control the vehicle pedal based on whether the passenger intends to park the vehicle, making the vehicle pedal control more user-friendly and intelligent. In some embodiments, the vehicle pedal control method provided herein includes: in response to the vehicle being in the parked state, controlling the vehicle pedal to extend.

[0066] Step S230: Control the vehicle pedal to extend or retract according to the valid information.

[0067] As mentioned above, the valid information can be used to indicate the passenger's actual need to extend or retract the vehicle pedal.

[0068] This application controls the vehicle pedals through the effective information in the vehicle door information, so that the vehicle pedals can be automatically extended when in use and automatically retracted when idle, avoiding affecting the vehicle's passability, and reducing the wind resistance of the vehicle during driving by retracting the pedals. In addition, this application also obtains the vehicle status information corresponding to the door information, and filters out the effective information in the door information that indicates the passenger's actual demand for the vehicle pedals based on the status information corresponding to the door information, so that the vehicle pedals can be automatically controlled according to the effective information when the passenger needs to extend or retract the vehicle pedals, avoiding the ineffective extension or retraction of the vehicle pedals in some scenarios, greatly improving the accuracy and intelligence of the vehicle pedal control, and at the same time helping to extend the service life of the pedals.

[0069] In some possible implementations, the present application also provides a vehicle pedal control device.
