Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile technology, and in particular to a lighting control method and device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, people have higher and higher requirements for automobile safety and driving comfort. When turning at night or in a tunnel, due to the limited lighting angle of the vehicle's low beam headlights, a lighting blind spot will appear on the turning side, making it difficult for the driver to see the road conditions clearly, increasing driving risks.

[0003] At present, fog lights are mainly used as auxiliary lighting, and the trigger conditions for auxiliary lighting are set. When the vehicle meets the trigger conditions, the fog lights of the vehicle are immediately turned on for auxiliary lighting. However, different drivers have different driving habits and driving environments. Not all drivers need to turn on the fog lights immediately to provide lighting assistance when the vehicle meets the trigger conditions. In addition, the timing of turning on the fog lights according to the trigger conditions is too early or too late, which cannot meet the actual needs of the drivers. This strategy of different users corresponding to the same auxiliary lighting trigger conditions cannot provide auxiliary lighting in a targeted manner according to user needs, affecting the user experience and resulting in poor user experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide a lighting control method and device to solve the problem in the prior art that auxiliary lighting strategies cannot provide auxiliary lighting in a targeted manner according to user needs.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0023] It should be understood that the references to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" throughout the specification mean that the specific features, structures, or characteristics associated with the embodiment are included in at least one embodiment of the present application. Therefore, the references to "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, these specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0024] In the various embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the following processes does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a lighting control method, the method comprising:

[0026] Step 101: when the vehicle is in a start-up state and the headlights are in an on-state, obtaining a target activation condition for a turning assist lighting function set by a user, wherein the turning assist lighting function corresponds to a plurality of activation conditions, and the target activation condition is one of the plurality of activation conditions;

[0027] In this embodiment, the turning auxiliary lighting function is configured with a variety of activation conditions for users to choose from, which can better adapt to different driving scenarios and personal driving habits. Users can select an activation condition that best suits them as the target activation condition from these multiple activation conditions based on their driving experience, driving habits, and road conditions they often drive on. For example, for drivers with rich driving experience or who often drive under road conditions with good lighting conditions, a larger steering wheel angle can be selected as the activation condition for the auxiliary lighting function; while novice drivers or drivers who often drive under road conditions with poor lighting conditions can select a smaller steering wheel angle when there is a turning operation as the activation condition for the auxiliary lighting function.

[0028] It should be noted that different activation conditions correspond to different parameter thresholds. The parameter threshold here can be a steering wheel angle threshold, that is, the auxiliary lighting is turned on when the steering wheel angle reaches the steering wheel angle threshold, or a combination of a steering wheel angle threshold and a vehicle speed threshold, that is, the auxiliary lighting is turned on when the steering wheel angle reaches the steering wheel angle threshold and the vehicle speed is less than the vehicle speed threshold, or a turn signal state, that is, the auxiliary lighting is turned on when the turn signal is on. Among these multiple activation conditions, a default activation condition is included, and when the user does not perform a selection operation, the default activation condition is the target activation condition.

[0029] After the user sets the target activation condition, the target activation condition may be stored in a memory corresponding to the turning auxiliary lighting function.

[0030] When the vehicle is in a start state and the headlights are in an on state, a target activation condition for the turning assist lighting function set by a user is obtained from a memory corresponding to the turning assist lighting function.

[0031] Step 102: Detect whether the vehicle meets the target activation condition.

[0032] Specifically, different activation conditions correspond to different sensors. After the target activation condition is obtained, the target sensor corresponding to the parameters required by the target activation condition is determined, and the parameter information of the vehicle is collected through the target sensor to determine whether the vehicle meets the target activation condition.

[0033] For example, when the target activation condition is that the steering wheel angle is greater than a first angle (such as 45 degrees), the steering wheel angle is collected by an angle sensor installed on the steering column of the steering wheel, and it is determined whether the steering wheel angle is greater than the first angle. When the steering wheel angle is greater than the first angle, it is determined that the vehicle meets the target activation condition, otherwise it is determined that the vehicle does not meet the target activation condition.

[0034] Step 103: When the vehicle meets the target activation condition, control the auxiliary lighting of the vehicle to turn on.

[0035] Once it is detected that the vehicle meets the target activation conditions, an on command is immediately sent to the auxiliary lighting. The auxiliary lighting can be a lamp specially designed for turning auxiliary lighting on the vehicle, such as a cornering auxiliary lamp installed on both sides of the front bumper of the vehicle, or other lamps such as fog lamps that can be used for supplementary lighting.

[0036] Optionally, when the auxiliary lights are turned on, the brightness, irradiation angle and other parameters of the lights can be further adjusted according to the specific state of the vehicle. For example, if the vehicle turns at a large angle, the brightness of the auxiliary lights can be increased and the irradiation angle can be adjusted to better illuminate the area inside the curve. If the vehicle is moving at a high speed, the irradiation range of the lights may be controlled to be farther to allow the driver to see the road conditions ahead of the curve in advance.

[0037] In this embodiment, by obtaining the target activation condition for the turning assist lighting function set by the user when the vehicle is in the starting state and the headlights are in the on state, and controlling the auxiliary lights of the vehicle to turn on when the vehicle meets the target activation condition, the auxiliary lights can be turned on according to the personalized target activation condition set by the user, which can effectively illuminate the blind spots that cannot be covered by the headlights when the vehicle turns, allowing the driver to observe the road conditions in the turning direction more clearly, and by providing a variety of selectable activation conditions, the user can set the activation conditions of the turning assist lighting function according to their own needs, so that the turning assist lighting function can better adapt to the unique needs of each driver, thereby improving the user experience and the practicality of the function, and because the auxiliary lights are turned on only when the vehicle meets the target activation condition set by the user, unnecessary long-term lighting can also be avoided, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle.

[0038] In an optional embodiment of the present application, before obtaining the target activation condition for the turning auxiliary lighting function set by the user, the method includes:

[0039] receiving a user-triggered request for setting an activation condition for the turning assist lighting function;

[0040] In response to the activation condition setting request, displaying parameter setting options corresponding to the turning assist lighting function;

[0041] The target activation condition is determined according to the user's selection input of the parameter setting option.

[0042] In the specific implementation process, the user can trigger the activation condition setting request for the turning assist lighting function through the vehicle's onboard system. For example, on the vehicle's central control touch screen, the setting menu includes the "turning assist lighting function" option. The user clicks on the option to enter the activation condition setting page for the turning assist lighting, which triggers the activation condition setting request for the turning assist lighting function.

[0043] In response to the activation condition setting request, the vehicle system displays various parameter setting options corresponding to the turning assist lighting function on the display screen. These options are usually related to various sensor data and driving status of the vehicle. For example, it may include settings based on the steering wheel angle, such as "activate when the steering wheel angle is greater than 30 degrees" and "activate when the steering wheel angle is greater than 45 degrees" and other different angle options; settings based on vehicle speed, such as "activate when the vehicle speed is less than 40 kilometers / hour" and "activate when the vehicle speed is less than 60 kilometers / hour" and other speed options; settings based on the state of the turn signal, such as "activate when the turn signal is on". These options can be presented to the user in the form of intuitive lists, sliders, check boxes, etc., to facilitate the user's selection operation.

[0044] Users can select and input parameter setting options based on their driving habits, road conditions they often drive on, and their personal needs for cornering assist lighting. For example, select the condition of "activate when the steering wheel angle is greater than 20 degrees and the vehicle speed is less than 40 km / h", check the corresponding option and click the "OK" button to complete the setting. At this time, the vehicle system records the user's selection and determines it as the target activation condition of the cornering assist lighting function, which is stored in the vehicle's configuration file so that the auxiliary lighting can be turned on and off according to this condition during subsequent driving.

[0045] The above implementation scheme of the present application allows the user to set the activation conditions of the turning assist lighting function instead of adopting a fixed single activation condition. It can flexibly meet the usage needs of different users, improve user experience and driving convenience, and at the same time, the customizable lighting control function enhances the vehicle's intelligence and humanized design.

[0046] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the parameter setting option includes a steering wheel angle threshold setting option; wherein the steering wheel angle threshold setting option includes a plurality of steering wheel angle thresholds;

[0047] Determining the target activation condition according to the user's selection input of the parameter setting option includes:

[0048] receiving a first selection input of a user for the steering wheel angle threshold setting option;

[0049] In response to the first selection input, determining a steering wheel angle threshold selected by a user from among the plurality of steering wheel angle thresholds as a target steering wheel angle threshold;

[0050] The target activation condition is determined as a steering wheel angle of the vehicle being greater than a target steering wheel angle threshold.

[0051] Specifically, the parameter setting options may include a steering wheel angle threshold setting option, and the steering wheel angle threshold setting option includes multiple steering wheel angle thresholds. For example, multiple preset steering wheel angle thresholds are clearly listed in a list on the screen, such as 15°, 25°, 35°, 45°, 60°, etc., and each threshold may also be accompanied by a simple text description to inform the user what type of turning scenario the threshold is roughly applicable to, helping the user to make a more reasonable choice. Alternatively, multiple steering wheel angle sensitivity levels can be pre-set, such as setting three levels, namely: sensitive, moderate and insensitive, where each level corresponds to a steering wheel angle threshold, the sensitive level corresponds to the smallest steering wheel angle threshold, the insensitive level corresponds to the largest steering wheel angle threshold, and the moderate level corresponds to a steering wheel angle threshold between the two.

[0052] A first selection input from a user for a steering wheel angle threshold setting option is received, and in response to the first selection input, a steering wheel angle threshold selected by the user from a plurality of steering wheel angle thresholds is determined as a target steering wheel angle threshold, and a target activation condition is determined as a steering wheel angle of the vehicle being greater than the target steering wheel angle threshold.

[0053] For example, the user can send a first selection input to the vehicle system by touching the "35 degrees" option on the central control screen. In response to the first selection input, the vehicle system determines the user-selected 35 degrees as the target steering wheel angle threshold, and sets the target activation condition to a steering wheel angle greater than 35 degrees.

[0054] The above implementation scheme of the present application provides multiple steering wheel angle threshold options for users to choose from, so that the vehicle's turning auxiliary lighting function can adapt to the driving habits of various users to meet the users' personalized needs.

[0055] In an optional embodiment of the present application, detecting whether the vehicle meets the target activation condition includes:

[0056] Obtaining a steering wheel angle of the vehicle;

[0057] comparing the steering wheel angle with the target steering wheel angle threshold;

[0058] When the steering wheel angle is greater than the target steering wheel angle threshold, it is determined that the vehicle meets the target activation condition.

[0059] Specifically, an angle sensor is installed on the steering column of the vehicle to collect the steering wheel angle of the vehicle.

[0060] The body controller collects the steering wheel angle in real time while the vehicle is driving, and compares it with the target steering wheel angle threshold. When the steering wheel angle is greater than the target steering wheel angle threshold, it determines that the vehicle meets the target activation conditions for the turning assist lighting.

[0061] When it is determined that the vehicle meets the target activation conditions, a start command is sent to the vehicle's auxiliary lighting system, triggering the auxiliary lighting to light up, providing additional lighting support for the vehicle's turning, illuminating the blind spots in the turning direction, and enhancing the driver's field of vision clarity and safety when turning.

[0062] The above implementation scheme of the present application, by obtaining the steering wheel angle in real time and accurately comparing it with the target threshold set by the user, can ensure that the auxiliary lighting is accurately turned on when the vehicle really needs turning lighting assistance, thereby reducing the driver's blind spots when turning.

[0063] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the parameter setting option includes a vehicle speed threshold setting option; wherein the vehicle speed threshold setting option includes at least one vehicle speed threshold;

[0064] Determining the target activation condition according to the user's selection input of the parameter setting option includes:

[0065] receiving a second selection input of the vehicle speed threshold setting option by a user;

[0066] In response to the second selection input, determining a vehicle speed threshold selected by a user from the at least one vehicle speed threshold as a target vehicle speed threshold;

[0067] The target activation condition is determined as a steering wheel angle of the vehicle being greater than a target steering wheel angle threshold and a vehicle speed of the vehicle being less than a target vehicle speed threshold.

[0068] Specifically, the parameter setting options may also include a speed threshold setting option, and the speed threshold setting option includes at least one speed threshold. In the human-computer interaction system of the vehicle, when the user enters the parameter setting interface of the turning auxiliary lighting function, the speed threshold setting option will be seen. This option may display multiple preset speed thresholds in the form of a list, such as "30 kilometers per hour", "40 kilometers per hour", or it may adopt an adjustable numerical input box to allow the user to enter the desired speed threshold within a certain reasonable speed range (such as 0 to 80 kilometers per hour). The setting of each speed threshold takes into account the safety and lighting requirements of the vehicle when turning in different driving scenarios. The lower speed threshold is suitable for narrower, more complex and more delicate turning scenes that require more precise control, such as community roads and parking lots; the higher speed threshold can be used for relatively spacious and faster road turning situations, such as ramps of urban expressways and suburban roads.

[0069] The user can select the speed threshold setting option according to his / her driving habits, the road conditions he / she often drives on, and the actual needs for turn assist lighting, i.e. the second choice input. For example, by clicking the "40 km / h" option on the central control screen, the vehicle system determines "40 km / h" as the target speed threshold and stores it in the vehicle configuration data so that it can be compared with the vehicle's real-time speed in the subsequent driving process.

[0070] After determining the target vehicle speed threshold, the vehicle system will determine the final target activation condition based on the previously set target steering wheel angle threshold.

[0071] The above implementation scheme of the present application determines the target activation conditions of the turning assist lighting by simultaneously considering the steering wheel angle and the vehicle speed, which can more accurately adapt to various complex and changeable driving scenarios and improve the adaptability and practicality of the turning assist lighting function.

[0072] In an optional embodiment of the present application, detecting whether the vehicle meets the target activation condition includes:

[0073] Obtaining a steering wheel angle and a vehicle speed of the vehicle;

[0074] comparing the steering wheel angle with the target steering wheel angle threshold;

[0075] comparing the vehicle speed with the target vehicle speed threshold;

[0076] When the steering wheel angle is greater than the target steering wheel angle threshold and the vehicle speed is less than the target vehicle speed threshold, it is determined that the vehicle meets the target activation condition.

[0077] Specifically, the steering wheel angle of the vehicle can be obtained by an angle sensor installed on the steering column. The vehicle speed can be provided by a vehicle speed sensor.

[0078] After obtaining the steering wheel angle and vehicle speed, a parameter comparison is performed, including comparing the steering wheel angle with the target steering wheel angle threshold, and comparing the vehicle speed with the target vehicle speed threshold, to determine whether the vehicle meets the target activation conditions:

[0079] Only when the steering wheel angle is greater than the target steering wheel angle threshold and the vehicle speed is less than the target speed threshold, the vehicle is determined to meet the target activation conditions for the turning auxiliary lighting. For example, when the steering wheel angle is 45 degrees (greater than the target steering wheel angle threshold of 40 degrees) and the vehicle speed is 40 kilometers per hour (less than the target speed threshold of 50 kilometers per hour), the vehicle is determined to meet the target activation conditions, and the control command is triggered immediately to turn on the vehicle's auxiliary lighting to provide additional lighting support for the vehicle's turning, illuminate the blind spots in the turning direction, and enhance the driver's field of vision clarity and safety when turning.

[0080] The above implementation scheme of the present application, by simultaneously accurately detecting and comparing the steering wheel angle and the vehicle speed, can ensure that the auxiliary lighting is accurately turned on when the vehicle really needs turning lighting assistance and is at an appropriate driving speed, and can better adapt to the driving habits and needs of different drivers.

[0081] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the parameter setting option includes a turn signal setting option; and according to the user's selection input of the parameter setting option, determining the target activation condition includes:

[0082] receiving a third selection input of the turn signal setting option from a user;

[0083] In response to the third selection input, the target activation condition is determined to be that a turn signal lamp of the vehicle is turned on.

[0084] Specifically, the parameter setting options may also include a turn signal setting option. In the human-computer interaction system of the vehicle, a turn signal setting option is provided on the parameter configuration interface of the turn assist lighting function, so that the user can set the association between the turn assist lighting and the turn signal.

[0085] For example, the turn signal setting option may appear in the form of a simple check box with a text description next to it saying "Start turning assist lighting when the turn signal is turned on". The user only needs to check the box to complete the selection of this setting option.

[0086] Drivers usually turn on the turn signal before turning. By associating the auxiliary lighting with the turn signal, turning lighting assistance can be easily obtained without additional complex operations or precise control of other vehicle parameters (such as steering wheel angle, vehicle speed, etc.).

[0087] When the user operates the turn signal setting options according to his or her driving preferences and actual driving scenarios, the vehicle's electronic control unit will receive the user's selection input, namely the third selection input.

[0088] The target activation condition is determined to be the vehicle's turn signal on based on the user's selection. As long as the vehicle's turn signal is turned on, regardless of other conditions such as the steering wheel angle and vehicle speed, it will be regarded as one of the trigger conditions for the turning auxiliary lighting, and the auxiliary lighting system will be started to provide additional lighting support for the vehicle's turning.

[0089] The above implementation scheme of the present application, by taking the turning on of the turn signal as the target activation condition for the turning assist lighting, can reduce the driver's learning cost and operating difficulty, making the turning assist lighting function easier to use and improving the user's acceptance and satisfaction with the vehicle function.

[0090] In an optional embodiment of the present application, detecting whether the vehicle meets the target activation condition includes:

[0091] Detecting whether the turn signal of the vehicle is turned on;

[0092] When the turn signal lamp is turned on, it is determined that the vehicle meets the target activation condition.

[0093] Specifically, when the activation condition is set to turn on the turn signal, turning on the turn signal means that the driver has a clear intention to turn, and auxiliary lighting is needed to enhance the field of vision in the turning direction.

[0094] When the vehicle is in the starting state and the headlights are on, the body controller will detect in real time whether the vehicle's turn signal is on. When the driver turns the turn signal switch, the corresponding circuit will be connected, causing the turn signal to flash, and the circuit will generate an electrical signal to feed back to the body controller.

[0095] When the body controller detects that the turn signal is turned on, it determines that the vehicle meets the target activation conditions.

[0096] The above implementation scheme of the present application simplifies the driver's operation process by using the turn signal as a way to detect whether the target activation condition is met. Before turning, the driver needs to turn on the turn signal to remind other road users of his turning intention. On this basis, the turning auxiliary lighting is automatically triggered, and there is no need to pay extra attention to other complex vehicle parameters (such as steering wheel angle, vehicle speed, etc.). The operation is very intuitive and convenient.

[0097] In an optional embodiment of the present application, controlling the auxiliary lighting of the vehicle to turn on includes:

[0098] determining a turning direction of the vehicle;

[0099] Determine the auxiliary lighting lamp on the vehicle at one side of the turning direction as the target auxiliary lighting lamp;

[0100] The target auxiliary lighting is controlled to turn on.

[0101] Specifically, the direction of the turn can be determined with the help of the turn signal. When the driver turns the turn signal switch, for example, the left turn signal switch, the turn signal circuit will send a corresponding electrical signal, indicating that the vehicle is about to turn left; similarly, turning the right turn signal switch means that the vehicle is about to turn right. It can also be analyzed through the data of the steering wheel angle sensor. The steering wheel angle sensor can monitor the steering wheel rotation angle and direction in real time. If the steering wheel turns a certain angle clockwise, it usually means that the vehicle is about to turn right, and if it turns a corresponding angle counterclockwise, it means that the vehicle is about to turn left.

[0102] Vehicles are usually equipped with multiple auxiliary lights, which are distributed on both sides of the front bumper or around the headlight assembly to provide targeted lighting in different turning directions. Once the turning direction of the vehicle is determined, the corresponding target auxiliary lights will be selected from these auxiliary lights.

[0103] For example, when it is determined that the vehicle is turning left, the auxiliary lights on the left side of the vehicle (which may be the left fog lights, specially designed left cornering auxiliary lights, etc.) will be determined as the target auxiliary lights; if it is turning right, the auxiliary lights on the right side of the vehicle will become the target auxiliary lights accordingly.

[0104] After the target auxiliary lighting is determined, an opening command is sent to it through the electrical control circuit inside the vehicle, causing the bulb of the target auxiliary lighting to start lighting.

[0105] The above implementation scheme of the present application can provide precise lighting for the driver when turning by accurately judging the turning direction and turning on the auxiliary lighting on the corresponding side in a targeted manner, effectively illuminating the key area in the turning direction and greatly reducing the blind spots.

[0106] The overall implementation process of the embodiment of the present application is introduced below. Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0107] The user (Actor) can set the turning auxiliary lighting function on the head unit (HUT), for example, whether to turn on the fog lights automatically, set the steering wheel angle when the auxiliary lighting is automatically turned on, and set the vehicle speed when the auxiliary lighting is automatically turned on. After the vehicle is started, the body domain controller (CEM) can obtain the setting signal set by the user for the turning auxiliary lighting function from the HUT, that is, the activation condition. During the driving process of the vehicle, the transmission control unit (TCU) can provide the current vehicle gear to the CEM, the electronic stability control unit (ESP) can provide the current vehicle speed to the CEM, and the combination switch (CAS) can provide the CEM with the turn signal on signal and the steering wheel angle signal when the user turns on the turn signal or meets the steering wheel angle. The CEM receives the setting signal, gear signal, vehicle speed signal, steering wheel angle and turn signal on signal by judging the lighting state of the low beam, and lights up the fog lights on the corresponding side after meeting the requirements through logical processing. At the same time, when the fog lights are turned on, the CEM also provides feedback to the user on the current lighting status of the fog lights and displays the corresponding fog light indicator light through the instrument panel (IP).

[0108] like Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application further provides a lighting control device, the device comprising:

[0122] The modules are determined to include:

[0145] The lighting control device provided in the present application obtains the target activation conditions for the turning auxiliary lighting function set by the user when the vehicle is in the starting state and the headlights are in the on state, and controls the auxiliary lighting of the vehicle to turn on when the vehicle meets the target activation conditions. The auxiliary lighting can be turned on according to the personalized target activation conditions set by the user, and can effectively illuminate the blind spots that cannot be covered by the headlights when the vehicle turns, allowing the driver to more clearly observe the road conditions in the turning direction. By providing a variety of selectable activation conditions, the user can set the activation conditions of the turning auxiliary lighting function according to their own needs, so that the turning auxiliary lighting function can better adapt to the unique needs of each driver, thereby improving the user experience and the practicality of the function. Since the auxiliary lighting is turned on only when the vehicle meets the target activation conditions set by the user, unnecessary long-term lighting can also be avoided, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle.
