[0060] Here, the technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementation methods") of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0061] If there are terms involving directional indications or positional relationships in the embodiments of the present application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings); if the specific posture changes, the directional indication or positional relationship will also change accordingly. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present application are only used for the purpose of convenience of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0062] The present application provides a vehicle control method, wherein the vehicle includes a driving assistance system, a steering wheel, and a vibration module. The driving assistance system is used to detect the driving condition of the vehicle. The vibration module includes at least two vibration motor modules, which are distributed on the steering wheel. In some embodiments, at least two vibration motor modules can be arranged along the circumference of the steering wheel, and at least two vibration motor modules can be arranged on the left and right sides of the steering wheel, respectively, corresponding to the driver's holding position during driving, so that the left or right side of the steering wheel vibrates. In other embodiments, the vibration motor module can also be arranged at the top and bottom of the circumference of the steering wheel, so that the steering wheel as a whole vibrates.

[0063] See also Figure 1 As shown, the control method includes step S10 and step S20.

[0064] In step S10, a corresponding control mode is determined according to the detection result of the driving assistance system, wherein different detection results correspond to different control modes, and the control mode includes a vibration mode for controlling the vibration module to vibrate, and the vibration mode includes a single vibration motor module vibrating or multiple vibration motor modules vibrating.

[0065] In step S20, the vehicle is controlled to perform corresponding operations according to the determined control mode.

[0066] Different detection results of the driving assistance system correspond to different control modes. In different control modes, a single vibration motor module vibrates or multiple vibration motor modules vibrate. The detection results of the driving assistance system can be fed back to the driver through the combination of different positions, different durations and different vibration intensities of the vibration generated by the vibration motor module, so that the driver can quickly and easily understand the current driving conditions of the vehicle, which is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle and improves the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, the driving assistance system includes a road deviation recognition system, which is used to detect the driving position of the vehicle relative to the road. When the distance between the vehicle and the lane edge on the left or right side is less than a critical value, the road deviation recognition system detects that the vehicle is offset relative to the road. Vibration motor modules are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the steering wheel, corresponding to the driver's grip position during driving, so as to generate vibration on the left or right side of the steering wheel.

[0068] See also Figure 2 As shown, step S10, determining a corresponding control mode according to the detection result of the driving assistance system, includes step S11.

[0069] In step S11 , when the detection result of the road deviation recognition system is that the vehicle is offset relative to the road, the corresponding vibration mode in the control mode is that a single vibration motor module vibrates.

[0070] Step S20, controlling the vehicle to perform corresponding operations according to the determined control mode, including step S21.

[0071] In step S21 , according to the vibration mode, the vibration motor module on the same side as the offset direction is controlled to vibrate.

[0072] Specifically, when the distance between the left side of the vehicle and the lane edge is less than a critical value, the road deviation recognition system detects that the vehicle is offset to the left relative to the road. When the detection result of the road deviation recognition system is that the vehicle is offset to the left relative to the road, the vibration motor module arranged on the left side of the steering wheel is controlled to vibrate. When the distance between the right side of the vehicle and the lane edge is less than a critical value, the road deviation recognition system detects that the vehicle is offset to the right relative to the road. When the detection result of the road deviation recognition system is that the vehicle is offset to the right relative to the road, the vibration motor module arranged on the right side of the steering wheel is controlled to vibrate. When the distance between the left and right sides of the vehicle and the lane edge is greater than or equal to the critical value, the road deviation recognition system detects that the vehicle is not offset relative to the road, and the vibration mode in the corresponding control mode is that the vibration motor module does not vibrate.

[0073] Through the above settings, when the vehicle is offset relative to the road, the road deviation recognition system can identify the current driving condition of the vehicle and can quickly inform the driver through the vibration motor module arranged on the steering wheel. At the same time, the vibration motor module on the same side as the deviation direction can be controlled to vibrate, so as to promptly inform the driver of the current deviation direction of the vehicle relative to the road, so as to facilitate intuitive and rapid feedback to the driver, which is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle and improves the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0074] In an optional embodiment, the driving assistance system includes a blind spot detection system, which is used to detect the blind spots on both sides of the rear of the vehicle. Specifically, the blind spot detection system can detect the rear of the vehicle through a radar or a camera. When there are other approaching vehicles or obstacles behind the vehicle, the blind spot detection system detects that there is a risk in the blind spot. When there are no other approaching vehicles or obstacles behind the vehicle, the blind spot detection system detects that there is no risk in the blind spot.

[0075] See also Figure 3 As shown, step S10, determining a corresponding control mode according to the detection result of the driving assistance system, includes step S12.

[0076] In step S12, when the detection result of the blind spot detection system is that there is a risk in the blind spot, the vibration mode in the corresponding control mode is that multiple vibration motor modules vibrate. Vibration of the multiple vibration motor modules causes the entire steering wheel to vibrate.

[0077] Step S20, controlling the vehicle to perform corresponding operations according to the determined control mode, including step S22.

[0078] In step S22 , a plurality of vibration motor modules are controlled to vibrate according to the vibration pattern.

[0079] When the detection result of the blind spot detection system is that there is no risk in the blind spot, the vibration mode in the corresponding control mode is that the vibration motor module does not vibrate.

[0080] Through the above settings, when there is a risk in the blind spot of the vehicle, the blind spot detection system can identify the current driving condition of the vehicle, and can vibrate through the vibration motor module set on the steering wheel to quickly inform the driver, so as to facilitate intuitive and fast feedback to the driver, which is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle and improves the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0081] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 4 As shown, step S10, determining the corresponding control mode according to the detection result of the driving assistance system, includes step S121 and step S122.

[0082] In step S121, when the detection result of the blind spot detection system is that there is a risk in the blind spot and the steering angle of the steering wheel is greater than the set angle value, the vibration mode in the corresponding control mode is that multiple vibration motor modules vibrate and last for a first set time.

[0083] In step S122, when the detection result of the blind spot detection system is that there is a risk in the blind spot and the steering angle of the steering wheel is not greater than the set angle value, the vibration mode in the corresponding control mode is that multiple vibration motor modules vibrate and last for a second set time. In some embodiments, the first set time and the second set time are not equal, wherein the first set time may be 3 seconds and the second set time may be 1 second. The driver's current vehicle driving state is indicated by different vibration durations. In other alternative embodiments, the vibration intensity and vibration frequency of the vibration motor module may also be controlled, or the driver's current vehicle driving state may be indicated by continuous vibration and intermittent vibration.

[0084] The driver's driving intention is determined by detecting the steering angle of the steering wheel. If the steering angle is greater than the set angle value, it is determined that the driver has a steering intention. At this time, the driver needs to pay attention to the blind spot and adjust the vehicle's steering according to the blind spot. If the steering angle is not greater than the set angle value, it is determined that the driver has no steering intention and only needs to pay attention to the blind spot.

[0085] When the blind spot detection system detects that there is a risk in the blind spot, the vibration mode is set according to the risk corresponding to the driver's driving intention and the situations that the driver needs to pay attention to, so as to provide the driver with intuitive and quick feedback on the vehicle's driving conditions. When the driver's attention is required, the driver can be further reminded through longer vibration time, vibration intensity, vibration frequency, etc., which is beneficial to the vehicle's driving safety and improves the vehicle's driving experience.

[0086] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle also includes a display module, which is used to display the detection image of the blind spot detection system.

[0087] In step S121, when the detection result of the blind spot detection system is that there is a risk in the blind spot and the steering angle of the steering wheel is greater than the set angle value, the corresponding control mode also includes step S1211 or step S1212.

[0088] In step S1211, the display module is controlled to display the image detected by the blind spot detection system.

[0089] In step S1212, the display module is controlled to display the image detected by the blind spot detection system for a third set time period, which may be 3 seconds, 5 seconds or 10 seconds.

[0090] In other embodiments, the display module may be controlled to be displayed and closed according to whether the driver has completed the turn, whether the risk of the blind spot detected by the blind spot detection system has disappeared, and the like.

[0091] Through the above settings, when the driver intends to turn, the steering wheel vibrates to remind the driver of the blind spot situation, and the display module allows the driver to check the blind spot situation, thereby adjusting the vehicle's steering according to the blind spot situation, which is beneficial to the vehicle's driving safety and improves the vehicle's driving experience.

[0092] In an optional embodiment, the driving assistance system includes a driving direction hazard recognition system, which is used to detect obstacles in the driving direction of the vehicle. Specifically, the driving direction hazard recognition system can detect whether there are obstacles in the driving direction of the vehicle through radar or camera. When there is an obstacle in the driving direction of the vehicle, the driving direction hazard recognition system detects that there is a risk in the driving direction. When there is no obstacle in the driving direction of the vehicle, the driving direction hazard recognition system detects that there is no risk in the driving direction.

[0093] See also Figure 5 As shown, step S10, determining the corresponding control mode according to the detection result of the driving assistance system, includes step S13.

[0094] In step S13 , when the detection result of the driving direction hazard identification system is that there is a risk in the driving direction, the vibration mode in the corresponding control mode is that multiple vibration motor modules vibrate.

[0095] Step S20, according to the determined control, controls the vehicle to perform corresponding operations, including step S23.

[0096] In step S23 , the plurality of vibration motor modules are controlled to vibrate according to the vibration pattern.

[0097] When the detection result of the driving direction hazard identification system is that there is no risk in the driving direction, the vibration mode in the corresponding control mode is that the multiple vibration motor modules do not vibrate.

[0098] Through the above settings, when there is a risk in the driving direction of the vehicle, the driving direction hazard recognition system can identify the current driving condition of the vehicle, and can vibrate through the vibration motor module set on the steering wheel to quickly inform the driver, so as to facilitate intuitive and fast feedback to the driver, which is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle and improves the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0099] See also Figure 6As shown, in an optional embodiment, step S10, determining a corresponding control mode according to the detection result of the driving assistance system, includes step S14 and step S15.

[0100] In step S14, when the detection result of the driving direction hazard identification system is that there is a risk in the driving direction and the risk coefficient is greater than the risk threshold, the corresponding control mode includes braking control of the vehicle.

[0101] In step S15, when the detection result of the driving direction hazard identification system is that there is a risk in the driving direction and the risk coefficient is less than or equal to the risk threshold, the vibration mode in the corresponding control mode is that multiple vibration motor modules vibrate and continue for a fourth set time.

[0102] When the detection result of the driving direction hazard identification system is that there is a risk in the driving direction and the risk coefficient is greater than the risk threshold, the vehicle is at risk of colliding with an obstacle in a short time. By controlling the braking of the vehicle, the risk of the vehicle colliding with an obstacle can be reduced, which is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle. When the detection result of the driving direction hazard identification system is that there is a risk in the driving direction and the risk coefficient is less than or equal to the risk threshold, the vehicle is not at risk of colliding with an obstacle in a short time, and multiple vibration motor modules vibrate for a fourth set time, prompting the driver to adjust the vehicle's driving direction accordingly according to the location of the obstacle and other conditions.

[0103] In some embodiments, the risk factor is determined based on at least the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle in the driving direction and the driving speed of the vehicle. When the driving speed of the vehicle is fast and the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is close, the vehicle may collide with the obstacle in a short time, and the risk factor is large. When the driving speed of the vehicle is slow or the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is far, the vehicle will not collide with the obstacle in a short time, and the risk factor is small.

[0104] In an optional embodiment, the driving assistance system also includes a road deviation recognition system, a blind spot detection system, and a driving direction hazard recognition system.

[0105] Step S10, determining a control mode for the vehicle according to the detection result of the driving assistance system, includes steps S16 and S17.

[0106] In step S16 , according to the detection result of the road deviation recognition system, the vibration mode in the corresponding control mode is that a single vibration motor module vibrates.

[0107] In step S17 , according to the detection result of the blind spot detection system or the driving direction hazard recognition system, the vibration mode in the corresponding control mode is that the multiple vibration motor modules vibrate.

[0108] In this embodiment, the detection results of the road deviation recognition system, the blind spot detection system, and the driving direction hazard recognition system correspond to different vibration modes in different control modes, and the number of vibration motor modules that vibrate is different. In other embodiments, the detection results of the road deviation recognition system, the blind spot detection system, and the driving direction hazard recognition system correspond to different vibration modes in different control modes, and the vibration time, vibration intensity, and vibration frequency of the vibration motor modules that vibrate are different.

[0109] Through the above settings, different control modes are respectively corresponding to different current driving conditions of the vehicle, and different vibration modes are corresponding to different control modes, so that the driver can quickly distinguish the current different driving conditions of the vehicle. It is convenient to give the driver intuitive and quick feedback through the steering wheel, which is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle and improves the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0110] The present application also provides a steering wheel 100. The steering wheel 100 includes a steering wheel body, a vibration module and a controller 140. The vibration module includes at least two vibration motor modules distributed on the steering wheel body, and the controller 140 is electrically connected to each vibration motor module, and the controller 140 is used to execute the above control method.

[0111] Through the above settings, the controller 140 can control the vibration motor module to vibrate according to the detection results of the driving assistance system, thereby feeding back the detection results of the driving assistance system to the driver, making it convenient for the driver to quickly and easily grasp the current driving conditions of the vehicle, which is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle and prompts the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0112] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 7 As shown, the vibration module includes a first vibration motor module 110 and a second vibration motor module, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the steering wheel body.

[0113] Through the above settings, the controller 140 can control the first vibration motor module 110 and the second vibration motor module 120 to vibrate respectively, so that the driver can feel the vibration of the steering wheel 100 only on the left or right side at the same time. When the detection result of the driving assistance system is that there is a situation on the left or right side of the vehicle that requires the driver's attention, the above settings can simultaneously feedback information about the risk of the vehicle's driving condition and the specific location of the risk, so that the driver can obtain more information in a short time, which is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle and improves the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0114] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 7 As shown, the vibration module further includes a third vibration motor module 130, which is disposed at the bottom or top of the steering wheel body.

[0115] Through the above settings, the controller 140 can control the vibration and shutdown of the third vibration motor module 130, and adjust the vibration amplitude of the steering wheel 100 under vibration. When the driving assistance system includes multiple auxiliary systems such as a road deviation recognition system, a blind spot detection system, and a driving direction hazard recognition system, through the above settings, the vibration amplitude of the steering wheel 100 can be adjusted. According to the current different driving conditions of the vehicle, different vibration amplitudes are used to feedback to the driver the specific situation of the current driving condition of the vehicle that there is a risk, so that the driver can obtain more information in a short time, which is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle and improves the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0116] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 8 As shown, each vibration motor module also includes a vibration motor 112 and a drive unit 111. The drive unit 111 is used to drive the vibration motor 112 to start and shut down, and the drive unit 111 is electrically connected to the controller 140. The controller 140 is used to receive CAN or other control signals or action requests from the vehicle, and then determine the working order and working rhythm of the vibration motor module according to the control principle, so that the vibration motor module responds to the detection results, safety functions and other requests from the CAN. The drive unit 111 of the vibration motor module receives a signal from the controller 140 to drive the vibration motor 112 to achieve a vibration response. Among them, the vibration motor 112 can be a linear vibration motor, or a rotor vibration motor, etc.

[0117] Through the above settings, each vibration motor module can be started and shut down independently, and each vibration motor module vibrates separately. The start and shut down of multiple vibration motor modules can be arbitrarily combined, and the detection results of different driving assistance systems are fed back to the driver through different numbers of vibration motor modules that vibrate, vibration time, vibration intensity, and vibration frequency in different control modes, so that the driver can obtain more information in a short time, which is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle and improves the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0118] The present application also provides a vehicle, which includes a steering wheel 100 .

[0119] Through the above settings, the steering wheel 100 can feedback the detection results of the driving assistance system to the driver through the vibration of the vibration motor module according to the detection results of the driving assistance system, so that the driver can quickly and easily grasp the current driving conditions of the vehicle, which is beneficial to the driving safety of the vehicle and prompts the driving experience of the vehicle.
