[0027] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0028] The following describes a position management system, method, vehicle, and storage medium for an electronic exterior rearview mirror according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the related technologies mentioned in the above background technology, there are deficiencies in ensuring that the electronic exterior rearview mirror is in the correct working position, especially under extreme weather conditions, such as low temperature may cause the exterior rearview mirror to freeze in its non-working position, and then cannot be normally unfolded to the preset angle, so that the camera cannot collect accurate image information, which poses a potential threat to driving safety. The present application provides a position management system for electronic exterior rearview mirrors, in which the temperature sensor and micro switch integrated at the folding part of the electronic exterior rearview mirror can be used to detect whether the exterior rearview mirror is in a non-working state due to human factors or environmental conditions, and the signal is sent to the ECU, which processes and determines the state of the exterior rearview mirror. If an abnormal situation is detected, such as the exterior rearview mirror cannot be normally unfolded due to freezing, or the exterior rearview mirror is abnormally positioned when the temperature is above the freezing point, the ECU will issue a corresponding warning to the user through the central control screen and provide guidance on solution steps to ensure that the exterior rearview mirror can return to a normal working state. Through intelligent management and a user-friendly prompt mechanism, driving safety is guaranteed, the functionality and reliability of the electronic exterior rearview mirror are enhanced, and a safer and more convenient driving experience is provided for the driver. This solves the problem that the related art lacks sufficient information in ensuring that the electronic exterior rearview mirror is in the correct working position, especially in extreme weather conditions. For example, low temperatures may cause the exterior rearview mirror to freeze in its non-working position and fail to unfold normally to the preset angle, making it impossible for the camera to collect accurate image information, which poses a potential threat to driving safety.

[0029] Specifically, Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a method for managing the position of an electronic exterior rearview mirror provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the position management system 10 of the electronic exterior rearview mirror includes:

[0031] The temperature sensor 100 is arranged at the folding part of the electronic exterior rearview mirror and is used to collect the ambient temperature signal of the environment in which the electronic exterior rearview mirror is located.

[0032] It is understandable that if Figure 2As shown, the electronic exterior rearview mirror in the embodiment of the present application has a folding function. The electronic exterior rearview mirror with the folding function has two movement states: inward folding and outward folding. The lens rotates back and forth around the folding axis. The embodiment of the present application can collect image signals of the vehicle through the electronic exterior rearview mirror with the folding function, and provide support for the subsequent transmission of these image signals to the vehicle's internal system for processing and display.

[0033] During the actual implementation process, the temperature sensor 100 in the embodiment of the present application is arranged at the folding part of the electronic exterior rearview mirror to collect the ambient temperature signal of the environment in which the electronic exterior rearview mirror is located, ensuring that local temperature changes that may affect the operation of the electronic exterior rearview mirror can be accurately detected.

[0034] The temperature sensor 100 in the embodiment of the present application not only helps to achieve accurate monitoring of the ambient temperature, but also achieves multiple goals of improving safety, improving user experience, and enhancing the reliability of the electronic exterior rearview mirror through effective use of these data.

[0035] The micro switch 200 is arranged at the folding part of the electronic exterior rearview mirror and is used to collect the opening and closing circuit signal corresponding to the opening and closing circuit of the electronic exterior rearview mirror.

[0036] It can be understood that the temperature sensor 100 and the micro switch 200 are respectively placed at the folding part of the electronic exterior rearview mirror in the embodiment of the present application, and are fixed inside the lens of the electronic exterior rearview mirror with screws or buckles.

[0037] During the actual implementation process, the micro switch 200 in the embodiment of the present application is arranged at the folding part of the electronic outside rearview mirror, and is used to collect the opening and closing circuit signals corresponding to the opening and closing circuits of the electronic outside rearview mirror. It not only realizes the accurate monitoring of the position status of the electronic outside rearview mirror, but also enhances the safety, reliability and user experience of the system through the effective use of this information.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the temperature sensor 100 and the micro switch 200 are placed at the folding part of the electronic exterior rearview mirror to form an electronic exterior rearview mirror assembly, thereby providing support for the subsequent connection of the electronic exterior rearview mirror assembly to the ECU via a wiring harness.

[0039] The position management module 300 is connected to the electronic exterior rearview mirror, the temperature sensor 100 and the micro switch 200, and is used to determine at least one position management action of the electronic exterior rearview mirror based on the ambient temperature signal collected by the temperature sensor 100 and the open and close circuit signal collected by the micro switch 200, and execute at least one position management action.

[0040] It can be understood that the position management module 300 in the embodiment of the present application can be an electronic control unit ECU, and the ECU is connected to the central control screen through a wiring harness; the wiring harness of the temperature sensor 100 and the micro switch 200 is connected to the vehicle ECU along with the wiring harness of the exterior rearview mirror assembly.

[0041] During the actual implementation process, the position management module 300 in the embodiment of the present application is connected to the electronic outside rearview mirror, the temperature sensor 100 and the microswitch 200, and is used to receive the ambient temperature signal collected by the temperature sensor 100 and the open and closed circuit signals collected by the microswitch 200 to determine at least one position management action of the electronic outside rearview mirror and perform at least one position management action. For example, when it is detected that the temperature is below the freezing point and the microswitch is in an open circuit state, the driver is immediately prompted to manually break the ice or try to restart automatically, ensuring that the electronic outside rearview mirror is always kept in the best working condition to ensure driving safety.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application can utilize the ECU to collect the open and close circuit signals of the micro switch 200 and the temperature of the temperature sensor 100, thereby performing preset operations. The ECU can detect the working position of the electronic exterior rearview mirror to avoid the non-working state of the electronic exterior rearview mirror due to human factors (unintentional bumps) or environmental factors (such as low temperature freezing), thereby affecting the driver's driving safety.

[0043] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the position management module 300 is further used to perform frequency detection on the state of the micro switch 200 at preset time intervals when it is detected that the micro switch 200 is in a closed state, so as to determine that the electronic exterior rearview mirror is in a working position that meets preset correct conditions.

[0044] It can be understood that the working position of the preset correct condition in the embodiment of the present application can be the correct lens working position.

[0045] In the actual implementation process, Figure 3 As shown, the position management module 300 in the embodiment of the present application is further used to display the large screen without any prompt when it is detected that the micro switch 200 is in a closed state, and the vehicle can be started normally. The ECU can perform frequency detection according to the preset time to always ensure the correct working position of the lens.

[0046] For example, the embodiments of the present application can appropriately extend the detection period when the vehicle is stationary or parked, such as detecting once every 5 to 10 minutes; for another example, after the vehicle enters the driving state, the detection period can be shortened to ensure higher safety, such as detecting once every 2 to 5 seconds.

[0047] When the lens of the electronic exterior rearview mirror in the embodiment of the present application is in a forward folding or backward folding state, the position and angle of the camera will change due to the folding relationship, making the collected image inaccurate and affecting driving safety; when the lens is in a forward folding or backward folding state, the micro switch 200 is in an open circuit state. When the ECU receives the open circuit state instruction, it collects the temperature signal of the temperature sensor 100 and outputs the signal to the display screen according to the preset logic.

[0048] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the position management module 300 also includes: a first judgment unit, used to determine whether the ambient temperature signal is less than or equal to a preset temperature threshold when it is detected that the micro switch 200 is in an open state; a first display unit, used to display the restart information or ignore information of the electronic outside rearview mirror that meets the preset ice-breaking condition when the ambient temperature signal is less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold; a first management unit, used to execute at least one position management action of the electronic outside rearview mirror according to the restart information that meets the preset ice-breaking condition, so as to manage the restart folding function of the electronic outside rearview mirror twice, and allow the vehicle to start when the micro switch is in a closed state, otherwise, prompt the ice-breaking failure information of the electronic outside rearview mirror; a first release unit, used to release the vehicle's start restriction according to the ignore information that meets the preset ice-breaking condition.

[0049] It can be understood that the preset temperature threshold in the embodiment of the present application can be 0 degrees Celsius; the restart information that meets the preset ice-breaking conditions in the embodiment of the present application can be the restart information of "the electronic exterior rearview mirror is frozen, please break the ice manually, and then click to restart".

[0050] For example, the embodiment of the present application can determine whether the ambient temperature signal collected by the temperature sensor 100 is less than or equal to 0 degrees Celsius when the micro switch 200 is detected to be in an open state. When the ambient temperature signal is less than or equal to 0 degrees Celsius, the vehicle screen prompts "The electronic exterior rearview mirror is frozen. Please break the ice manually and then click restart" by using the first display unit. The UI interface has two states, "Restart" on the left and "Ignore" on the right, that is, the restart information or ignore information of the electronic exterior rearview mirror meeting the preset ice-breaking conditions is displayed. If the user clicks "Restart", the embodiment of the present application can execute at least one position management action of the electronic exterior rearview mirror, manage the electronic exterior rearview mirror to restart the folding function twice, and when the micro switch 200 is in a closed state, the pop-up window with a countdown of 10 seconds disappears, allowing the vehicle to start; if the micro switch 200 is detected to be in an open state, the ice-breaking failure information of the electronic exterior rearview mirror is prompted, that is, the countdown of "Ice-breaking failure" is prompted for 10 seconds, and the pop-up window of "Restart" is returned. In the embodiment of the present application, when the user clicks "Ignore", the first release unit can be used to release the vehicle startup restriction according to the ignore information that meets the preset ice-breaking conditions.

[0051] The embodiment of the present application can realize intelligent management and user-friendly prompts of the electronic outside rearview mirror in low-temperature freezing conditions by integrating the functions of the micro switch 200, the temperature sensor 100 and the position management module 300. Through clear visual prompts and guidance, it can ensure that the driver can correctly handle the freezing problem of the electronic outside rearview mirror under low-temperature conditions and avoid safety hazards caused by obstructed vision. Through intelligent management and user-friendly prompt mechanisms, the reliability and user experience of the electronic outside rearview mirror under low-temperature freezing conditions are significantly improved, ultimately achieving higher driving safety and user satisfaction.

[0052] It should be noted that the preset ice-breaking conditions can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here.

[0053] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the position management module 300 also includes: a second judgment unit, which is used to judge whether the ambient temperature signal is greater than a preset temperature threshold when the micro switch 200 is detected to be in an open state; a second display unit, which is used to display the restart information or ignore information of the electronic outside rearview mirror that meets the preset abnormal condition when the ambient temperature signal is greater than the preset temperature threshold; a second management unit, which is used to execute at least one position management action of the electronic outside rearview mirror based on the restart information that meets the preset abnormal condition, so as to manage the restart folding function of the electronic outside rearview mirror twice, and allow the vehicle to start when the micro switch 200 is in a closed state, otherwise, prompt the user with the corresponding error message and suggest repairing the electronic outside rearview mirror; a second release unit, which is used to release the vehicle's start restriction according to the ignore information that meets the preset abnormal condition.

[0054] It can be understood that the restart information that meets the preset abnormal condition in the embodiment of the present application can be the restart information of "the electronic exterior rearview mirror is abnormal and the function needs to be restarted".

[0055] In the actual execution process, the embodiment of the present application can determine whether the ambient temperature signal is greater than 0 degrees Celsius when the micro switch 200 is detected to be in an open state. When the ambient temperature signal is greater than 0 degrees Celsius, the vehicle screen prompts "the electronic exterior rearview mirror is abnormal and needs to be restarted". The UI interface has two states, "restart" on the left and "ignore" on the right, that is, the restart information or ignore information of the electronic exterior rearview mirror meeting the preset abnormal conditions is displayed. If the user clicks "restart", the embodiment of the present application can execute at least one position management action of the electronic exterior rearview mirror, manage the electronic exterior rearview mirror to restart the folding function twice, and when the micro switch 200 is in a closed state, the pop-up window of the prompt "the vehicle can be started to drive" countdown 10s disappears, allowing the vehicle to start; if the micro switch 200 is detected to be in an open state, the prompt "the electronic exterior rearview mirror function is abnormal, please go to the 4S shop for repair as soon as possible" countdown 10s, and return to the above "restart" pop-up window. The embodiment of the present application can use the second release unit to release the vehicle's startup restriction according to the ignore information that meets the preset abnormal conditions when the user clicks "ignore".

[0056] The embodiment of the present application can further determine whether the ambient temperature signal is greater than 0 degrees Celsius when the micro switch 200 is detected to be in an open circuit state, and provide corresponding prompts and processing mechanisms according to different situations, ensuring that the driver can understand the working status of the electronic exterior rearview mirror in a timely manner, especially when an abnormality occurs under non-freezing conditions, to avoid safety hazards caused by obstructed vision. Through intelligent management and user-friendly prompt mechanisms, the reliability and user experience of the electronic exterior rearview mirror in abnormal situations are significantly improved under non-freezing conditions.

[0057] It should be noted that the preset abnormal conditions can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here.

[0058] The display module 400 is used to generate at least one prompt message according to at least one location management action, and display the at least one prompt message.

[0059] It is understandable that the display module 400 can be a large central control screen.

[0060] In the actual implementation process, Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application can generate prompt information corresponding to the electronic exterior rearview mirror according to at least one position management action, and display the prompt information to ensure that the driver is immediately notified when any abnormality is detected or user intervention is required. For example, when the temperature sensor 100 detects the risk of low temperature freezing or the micro switch reports an abnormal position status, the central control screen will quickly pop up a corresponding warning message to inform the user of the current status and recommended operating steps.

[0061] The embodiments of the present application can prompt users on the central control screen, greatly improve the interactivity and practicality of the system through intelligent management and user-friendly prompt mechanism, and ultimately achieve higher driving safety and user satisfaction.

[0062] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the position management system 10 of the electronic outside rearview mirror also includes: an acquisition module for acquiring at least one environmental data of the temperature, humidity and light intensity of the environment in which the electronic outside rearview mirror is located; and an adjustment module for adjusting the working mode of the electronic outside rearview mirror based on at least one environmental data.

[0063] Among them, the embodiment of the present application can use the acquisition module to obtain environmental data such as temperature, humidity and light intensity of the environment in which the electronic exterior rearview mirror is located, so as to accurately understand the current working environment and make a more appropriate response. The embodiment of the present application can use the adjustment module to adjust the working mode of the electronic exterior rearview mirror based on at least one environmental data to ensure that the electronic exterior rearview mirror is always in the optimal state, for example, enabling the night vision enhancement mode in low light conditions, starting the heat dissipation mechanism at high temperatures, etc.

[0064] According to the position management system of the electronic exterior rearview mirror proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the temperature sensor and micro switch integrated in the folding part of the electronic exterior rearview mirror can be used to detect whether the exterior rearview mirror is in a non-working state due to human factors or environmental conditions, and the signal is sent to the ECU, which processes and determines the state of the exterior rearview mirror. If an abnormal situation is detected, such as the exterior rearview mirror cannot be unfolded normally due to freezing, or the exterior rearview mirror is abnormally positioned when the temperature is above the freezing point, the ECU will issue a corresponding warning to the user through the central control screen and provide guidance on the solution steps to ensure that the exterior rearview mirror can return to a normal working state. Through intelligent management and user-friendly prompt mechanisms, driving safety is guaranteed, the functionality and reliability of the electronic exterior rearview mirror are enhanced, and a safer and more convenient driving experience is provided to the driver. Thus, the problem of the insufficiency of the related art in ensuring that the electronic exterior rearview mirror is in the correct working position is solved, especially in extreme weather conditions, such as low temperature may cause the exterior rearview mirror to freeze in its non-working position, and then cannot be unfolded normally to the preset angle, so that the camera cannot collect accurate image information, which poses a potential threat to driving safety.

[0065] Next, the position management device for the electronic exterior rearview mirror proposed in accordance with the embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a position management device for an electronic exterior rearview mirror according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, the position management device 10 of the electronic exterior rearview mirror includes:

[0068] In step S501, an ambient temperature signal and an open / close circuit signal corresponding to an open / close circuit are collected.

[0069] In step S502, at least one position management action of the electronic exterior rearview mirror is determined based on the ambient temperature signal and the open / closed path signal, and the at least one position management action is executed.

[0073] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, executing at least one position management action also includes: determining whether the ambient temperature signal is greater than a preset temperature threshold; if the ambient temperature signal is greater than the preset temperature threshold, displaying restart information or ignore information that the electronic outside rearview mirror meets a preset abnormal condition; based on the restart information that meets the preset abnormal condition, executing at least one position management action of the electronic outside rearview mirror to manage the electronic outside rearview mirror to restart the folding function twice, and allowing the vehicle to start when the micro switch is in a closed state, otherwise, prompting the user with the corresponding error message and suggesting repairing the electronic outside rearview mirror; lifting the vehicle's startup restriction according to the ignore information that meets the preset abnormal condition.

[0075] It should be noted that the aforementioned explanation of the embodiment of the position management system for electronic exterior rearview mirrors is also applicable to the position management method for electronic exterior rearview mirrors of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0076] According to the position management method of the electronic exterior rearview mirror proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the temperature sensor and micro switch integrated in the folding part of the electronic exterior rearview mirror can be used to detect whether the exterior rearview mirror is in a non-working state due to human factors or environmental conditions, and the signal is sent to the ECU, which processes and determines the state of the exterior rearview mirror. If an abnormal situation is detected, such as the exterior rearview mirror cannot be unfolded normally due to freezing, or the exterior rearview mirror is abnormally positioned when the temperature is above the freezing point, the ECU will issue a corresponding warning to the user through the central control screen and provide guidance on the solution steps to ensure that the exterior rearview mirror can return to a normal working state. Through intelligent management and user-friendly prompt mechanisms, driving safety is guaranteed, the functionality and reliability of the electronic exterior rearview mirror are enhanced, and a safer and more convenient driving experience is provided to the driver. Thus, the problem of the insufficiency of the related art in ensuring that the electronic exterior rearview mirror is in the correct working position is solved, especially under extreme weather conditions, such as low temperature may cause the exterior rearview mirror to freeze in its non-working position, and then cannot be unfolded normally to the preset angle, so that the camera cannot collect accurate image information, which poses a potential threat to driving safety.
