[0038] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The accompanying drawings are provided to further illustrate the present disclosure and form part of the specification. They are used together with the following detailed description to explain the present disclosure, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. In the drawings:

[0047] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0048] In the following description, the words "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish the purpose of the description and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance or order.

[0049] Before introducing the specific implementation methods of this disclosure, the application scenarios of this disclosure will be explained first.

[0050] As described in the background section, comfort is also a factor that must be considered in vehicle design. If a vehicle is not comfortable enough, it will bring a bad riding experience to the user. In particular, the comfort of the vehicle seats is very important.

[0051] In related technologies, seat temperature is typically adjusted at fixed time intervals to ensure user comfort. However, this method only adjusts the temperature during fixed periods and does not consider the irregular timing of vehicle use. If the user uses the vehicle outside of these fixed times, comfort issues still exist. Another method involves collecting ambient air temperature data to adjust the vehicle's cooling / heating mode. However, this method only collects the ambient temperature, not the interior temperature, and therefore cannot accurately reflect the actual seat temperature, resulting in significant errors. Besides these methods, some users remotely control the vehicle's air conditioning, seat ventilation, and seat heating functions via a mobile app. This method requires active user intervention, and the user is unaware of the seat temperature during control.

[0052] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a vehicle control method, medium, product, controller, and vehicle.

[0053] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a vehicle control method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The method provided by this disclosure can be applied to a vehicle, such as a controller on the vehicle. For example, the controller can be a Body Control Module (BCM). Figure 1 As shown, the method provided in this disclosure may include steps 11 to 13.

[0054] In step 11, the target temperature value of the target seat surface of the vehicle is determined.

[0055] Optionally, the temperature of the target seat surface can be monitored (or collected) periodically to obtain a target temperature value. For example, the temperature of the target seat surface can be periodically determined as the target temperature value between the time all users in the vehicle have exited and the time a user re-enters the vehicle.

[0056] Optionally, the vehicle may be equipped with a seat temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the target seat surface. To more accurately detect the temperature of the part of the target seat that has the greatest impact on the human body, the seat temperature sensor may be placed at the location where the user's body is in direct contact with the target seat when sitting on it. For example, the seat temperature sensor may be located at at least one location on the target seat, including but not limited to the seat cushion and seat back.

[0057] In this disclosure, the target seat can be any seat on the vehicle. In practical applications, all seats on the vehicle can be used as target seats simultaneously, and for each target seat, a series of steps of the vehicle control method provided in this disclosure are executed. The execution of steps between different target seats is independent of each other and does not affect each other.

[0058] In step 12, based on the target temperature value, it is determined whether the temperature of the target seat is abnormal.

[0059] In one possible implementation, once the target temperature value of the target seat surface is determined, it can be determined whether the temperature of the target seat is abnormal based on a temperature range. This temperature range can be set according to actual needs.

[0060] For example, a normal temperature range that characterizes the seat temperature to make the user comfortable can be set. If the target temperature value is not within the normal temperature range, it can be determined that the temperature of the target seat is abnormal. If the target temperature value is within the normal temperature range, it can be determined that the temperature of the target seat is not abnormal.

[0061] In this embodiment, the anomaly of the target seat can include high temperature anomalies (i.e., excessively high temperature) and low temperature anomalies (i.e., excessively low temperature). For example, if the target temperature value is higher than the maximum value of the normal temperature range, it indicates that the target seat temperature is too high. Conversely, if the target temperature value is lower than the minimum value of the normal temperature range, it indicates that the target seat temperature is too low. Based on this, different countermeasures can be taken for different anomalies in subsequent processes.

[0062] In another possible implementation, once the target temperature value of the target seat surface is determined, it can be determined whether the temperature of the target seat is abnormal based on a specified temperature value. This specified temperature value can be set according to actual needs.

[0063] For example, a first temperature value can be set as the maximum permissible seat temperature to ensure user comfort when sitting in the target seat. When the target temperature value is determined to be higher than the first temperature value (i.e., rising above the first temperature value), it can be determined that the temperature of the target seat is abnormal, i.e., too high. "Rising above the first temperature value" means that the target temperature value determined in the current monitoring (or acquisition) cycle is higher than the surface temperature value of the target seat determined in the previous monitoring (or acquisition) cycle, and the target temperature value has exceeded the first temperature value. This indicates that the temperature of the target seat is gradually rising above the first temperature value, therefore, it can be considered that the target seat has an abnormally high temperature in the current monitoring (or acquisition) cycle. For example, the first temperature value can be 50°C.

[0064] For example, a minimum seat temperature that ensures user comfort when sitting in the target seat can be set as a second temperature value. When the target temperature value is determined to be lower than the second temperature value (i.e., decreasing to below the second temperature value), it can be determined that the temperature of the target seat is abnormal, i.e., too low. Here, "decreasing to below the second temperature value" means that the target temperature value determined in the current monitoring (or acquisition) cycle is lower than the surface temperature value of the target seat determined in the previous monitoring (or acquisition) cycle, and the target temperature value is already below the second temperature value. This indicates that the temperature of the target seat is gradually decreasing to below the second temperature value; therefore, it can be considered that the target seat has an abnormally low temperature in the current monitoring (or acquisition) cycle.

[0065] In step 13, if it is determined that the temperature of the target seat is abnormal, the vehicle is controlled to perform a preset operation.

[0066] The preset operations may include at least one of the following: an error message or seat temperature adjustment.

[0067] If an abnormal temperature is detected in the target seat, the vehicle can be controlled to perform preset operations to ensure the user's comfort when sitting in the target seat next time.

[0068] Optionally, an anomaly alert can be provided by controlling the vehicle to perform a preset operation. For example, when the user is far from the vehicle, a remote anomaly alert can be sent to the user's mobile terminal. Alternatively, when the user is close to the vehicle, an alert can be provided through the vehicle's notification device.

[0069] Optionally, seat temperature can be adjusted by controlling the vehicle to perform preset operations. For example, seat temperature can be adjusted using a fan-driven temperature control device, which can be a vehicle air conditioner or set during seat ventilation. This device can emit cold or hot air as needed to adjust the seat temperature. Another example is seat temperature adjustment using a water-based temperature control device. For instance, water pipes can be designed at the seat (without affecting seating), and the seat temperature can be adjusted by controlling the circulation of hot or cold water through these pipes.

[0070] The vehicle control method disclosed herein can be applied to a variety of different scenarios.

[0071] In one possible scenario, if the vehicle is not in motion and the user has left the vehicle, the vehicle control method provided in this disclosure can send an alert to the user's mobile terminal if the seat temperature is abnormal, thus achieving remote alerting for abnormal seat temperature. Furthermore, the seat temperature can be adjusted before the user returns to the vehicle to improve seat comfort when the user re-enters.

[0072] In another possible scenario, if the vehicle is not moving and the user has not left the vehicle, the vehicle control method provided in this disclosure can provide an abnormal alert to the user through the user's mobile terminal or the in-vehicle alert device in the vehicle when the seat temperature is abnormal.

[0073] In another possible scenario, if the vehicle is in motion, the vehicle control method provided in this disclosure can designate a seat whose temperature cannot be directly known to the driver as the target seat (e.g., the rear seat of the vehicle), and provide an abnormal alert to the driver if the temperature of the target seat is abnormal, so that the driver can be aware of the situation in a timely manner and take appropriate measures.

[0074] The above technical solution determines the target temperature value of the vehicle's seat surface and, based on this value, determines whether the seat temperature is abnormal. If an abnormality is found, the vehicle is controlled to perform a preset operation, either providing an anomaly warning or adjusting the seat temperature. By determining the seat surface temperature, the system can more accurately reflect the temperature directly felt by the user when in contact with the seat, thus more accurately identifying temperature anomalies that may cause discomfort. Based on this, timely interventions can be taken, such as providing anomaly warnings and / or adjusting the seat temperature, to improve user comfort.

[0075] In one possible implementation, step 13 may include the following steps, such as Figure 2 As shown:

[0076] In step 131, if it is determined that the temperature of the target seat is abnormal, a first prompt message is generated to indicate the temperature abnormality;

[0077] In step 132, a first prompt message is sent to the target terminal.

[0078] The first prompt message is used by the target terminal to provide an anomaly notification to the target user. For example, if the target seat temperature is higher than a specified temperature, a first prompt message such as "The current seat temperature exceeds the specified temperature" can be generated.

[0079] Optionally, target users can determine the target terminal corresponding to the vehicle by pre-binding their mobile terminal (e.g., mobile phone, wristband, etc.) and the vehicle.

[0080] If an abnormal temperature is detected in the target seat, a first alert message can be generated and sent to the target terminal so that the target user is aware of the current abnormality of the target seat and can take appropriate measures.

[0081] In one possible scenario, if the user leaves the vehicle, the vehicle will be in an armed state. In order to save vehicle energy, the vehicle's body controller will enter a sleep state. In the sleep state, the body controller stops the function of sending and receiving messages, such as stopping the sending and receiving of CAN (Controller Area Network) messages, and only retains the function of monitoring, such as determining the target temperature value.

[0082] Based on this, if it is determined that the temperature of the target seat is abnormal, since the message transmission and reception function of the body controller is required, the body controller can be woken up and a first message carrying the first prompt information can be generated. Then, the first message is sent to the vehicle's TBOX (Telematics Box) via the CAN bus, so that the TBOX can send the first message to the target terminal, realizing the remote transmission of the first prompt information, that is, providing remote abnormal prompts to the target user.

[0083] Optionally, to ensure the successful transmission of the first notification information while minimizing vehicle energy consumption, the body controller can generate a preset number of first messages and send them. After all the preset number of first messages have been sent, the body controller enters sleep mode again. For example, the preset number of frames can be 3 frames.

[0084] It should be noted that in the method provided in this disclosure, if the body controller does not need to send information to the outside (e.g., send the first prompt information to the target terminal) or does not need to receive information (e.g., receive instructions from the target terminal), the body controller can remain in a sleep state. When it is necessary to send information to the outside or receive instructions from other devices (e.g., the target terminal), the body controller can be woken up to enable the body controller to enter a normal working state and realize the sending of information or the response to instructions.

[0085] For example, the target terminal may be equipped with an APP for remote vehicle management, and the target user can obtain relevant information about the first prompt by viewing the prompts in the APP.

[0086] In another possible implementation, step 13 may include the following steps, such as Figure 3 As shown:

[0087] In step 133, if it is determined that the temperature of the target seat is abnormal and the target user is in a close proximity, the seat temperature of the target seat is adjusted so that the temperature value of the target seat surface changes to a preset normal temperature range.

[0088] The proximity status indicates that the target user is within a preset range around the vehicle and is moving toward the vehicle.

[0089] Therefore, if the temperature of the target seat is abnormal and the user is nearby, it means that the target user is about to use the vehicle, but the temperature of the target seat is not suitable for sitting. Therefore, in order to ensure the comfort of the target user when using the vehicle, the seat temperature should be actively adjusted.

[0090] It should be noted that there is no strict order in determining whether the temperature of the target seat is abnormal and whether the target user is in a close proximity. They can be determined simultaneously, or one can be determined first and then the other. Both are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0091] Furthermore, if an abnormal temperature is detected in the target seat and the target user is determined to be not in a nearby position, it indicates that the target user does not currently need the vehicle and no action can be taken temporarily. Simultaneously, the target seat temperature and the target user's status can be continuously monitored. Only when the target user changes from a nearby to a nearby position, and the target seat temperature is found to be abnormal, should the target seat temperature be adjusted. The "not nearby" state can be any state other than the "nearby" state, such as the target user not being within a preset range of the vehicle, or, although the target user is within a preset range of the vehicle, they are moving away from the vehicle.

[0092] Optionally, adjusting the seat temperature of the target seat may include the following steps:

[0093] Turn on the target ventilation system to regulate the temperature of the target seat.

[0094] The target ventilation device may include a ventilation device installed in the target seat and / or an in-vehicle air conditioner.

[0095] If the abnormal indicator of the target seat shows that the target seat temperature is too high, the target ventilation device should be controlled to operate in a mode that lowers the seat temperature in order to change the surface temperature of the target seat back to a preset normal temperature range. For example, the target ventilation device can be controlled to blow cold air.

[0096] If the abnormal indicator of the target seat shows that the target seat temperature is too low, then in order to change the surface temperature of the target seat to within a preset normal temperature range, the target ventilation device should be controlled to operate in a mode that can raise the seat temperature. For example, the target ventilation device can be controlled to blow hot air.

[0097] For example, the ventilation device installed on the target seat can be located in a position on the target seat that can come into direct contact with the human body without affecting the person's seating.

[0098] In another possible implementation, step 13 may include the following steps, such as Figure 4 As shown:

[0099] In step 134, in response to receiving a second instruction for adjusting the temperature of the target seat, the target seat temperature is adjusted according to the second instruction.

[0100] The second command can be triggered by the target user through the target terminal. Optionally, the target terminal may have a function option for remotely adjusting the seat temperature of the target seat, and the second command is triggered by activating this function option. For example, the function option may provide a setting entry, such as setting the adjustment duration, setting the target temperature (i.e., adjusting the temperature in the direction of the target temperature), and setting the adjustment direction (e.g., raising or lowering the seat temperature). For example, this function option may be provided through an app on the target terminal for remote vehicle management.

[0101] In this disclosure, the triggering timing of the second instruction can be any timing desired by the target user. For example, the target user can trigger the second instruction at any time to trigger temperature adjustment of the target seat. As another example, the target user can trigger the second instruction in response to a first notification message, meaning the target user takes targeted action after receiving a temperature anomaly alert.

[0102] Upon receiving the second instruction, in response to that instruction, the temperature of the target seat can be adjusted according to the temperature adjustment method indicated by the second instruction. The method for adjusting the temperature of the target seat has been described previously and will not be repeated here.

[0103] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, step 11 may include the following steps:

[0104] In step 111, in response to receiving a first instruction for determining the temperature of the target seat, a target temperature value is determined.

[0105] Accordingly, the vehicle control method provided in this disclosure may further include the following steps:

[0106] In step 14, the target temperature value is sent to the sender of the first instruction.

[0107] Optionally, the first instruction can be triggered by the target user through the target terminal, and correspondingly, the sender of the first instruction is the target terminal. That is to say, the target user can actively trigger the first instruction to request the current temperature value of the target seat, thereby allowing the user to obtain the real-time temperature value of the target seat anytime and anywhere.

[0108] Optionally, to ensure successful transmission of the target temperature value while minimizing vehicle energy consumption, the body controller can generate a specified number of second messages and send them. After all specified number of second messages have been sent, the body controller enters sleep mode again. For example, the specified number of frames can be 3 frames.

[0109] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, step 11 may include the following steps:

[0110] In step 112, in response to detecting that the door corresponding to the target seat has been opened, a target temperature value is determined;

[0111] Accordingly, step 13 may include the following steps:

[0112] In step 135, if it is determined that the temperature of the target seat is abnormal, a second prompt message is generated to indicate the temperature abnormality;

[0113] In step 136, a second notification message is output via the vehicle-mounted notification device.

[0114] The door corresponding to the target seat can be set according to actual needs. Generally, the door corresponding to the target seat can be set to the door closest to the target seat. For example, if the target seat is the driver's seat, then the door corresponding to the target seat is the driver's door.

[0115] If the door corresponding to the target seat is detected to be open, it means the target user has opened the door and is about to sit in the target seat. If the temperature of the target seat is abnormal at this time (e.g., the original temperature of the target seat was too high, and it has not cooled down to a comfortable temperature range for human seating when the target user approaches the vehicle), a second prompt message can be generated to alert the target user. Furthermore, since the target user is very close to the vehicle at this time, the second prompt message can be directly output through the in-vehicle prompting device.

[0116] Optionally, the second prompt can be a sound (e.g., sound effects, voice, etc.) or light-based prompt.

[0117] For example, the in-vehicle prompting device can be a voice broadcasting device (e.g., a voice broadcasting device on the vehicle's instrument panel) that provides prompts by broadcasting voice messages.

[0118] For example, an in-vehicle alert device can be a buzzer, which emits a beeping sound to provide a warning.

[0119] For example, the in-vehicle warning device can be a warning light (e.g., installed on the vehicle's dashboard, installed on the target seat, etc.), which provides a warning by illuminating the light. For instance, a seat temperature indicator light can be installed in the vehicle and can serve as the aforementioned warning light.

[0120] This method alerts users when they are about to use the vehicle and the seat temperature is still abnormal, thus preventing any impact on their comfort.

[0121] Alternatively, the method provided in this disclosure may also include the following steps:

[0122] Among multiple preset temperature ranges, the target temperature range in which the target temperature value is located is determined. Different preset temperature ranges correspond to different temperature prompt methods.

[0123] The system outputs temperature prompt information indicating the target temperature value by using the temperature prompt method corresponding to the target temperature range.

[0124] In other words, different temperature alert methods can be preset for each temperature range. The temperature alert method can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

[0125] For example, the temperature prompt method for a temperature range below 38℃ is as follows: the indicator light is solid green; the temperature prompt method for a temperature range between 38℃ and 50℃ is as follows: the indicator light is solid yellow and the buzzer sounds three times; the temperature prompt method for a temperature range above 50℃ is as follows: the indicator light flashes red, the buzzer sounds three times, and a voice announcement is made.

[0126] For example, a seat temperature indicator light can be installed on the vehicle. The seat temperature indicator light can have multiple color modes, and one temperature indication method corresponds to one color mode of the seat temperature indicator light, such as solid green, solid yellow, and flashing red in the previous example.

[0127] Using the above method, the user can be alerted based on the real-time temperature of the target seat surface, so that the user knows which temperature range the target seat is currently in.

[0128] Figure 7 This is a block diagram of a vehicle control device provided according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 As shown, the device 20 includes:

[0129] The first determining module 21 is used to determine the target temperature value of the target seat surface of the vehicle;

[0130] The second determining module 22 is used to determine whether the temperature of the target seat is abnormal based on the target temperature value;

[0131] Control module 23 is used to control the vehicle to perform a preset operation if it is determined that the temperature of the target seat is abnormal. The preset operation includes at least one of abnormality prompt and seat temperature adjustment.

[0132] Optionally, the control module 23 includes:

[0133] The first generation submodule is used to generate a first prompt message to indicate the temperature abnormality if it is determined that the temperature of the target seat is abnormal. The first prompt message is used to be output by the target terminal to prompt the target user of the abnormality.

[0134] The first sending submodule is used to send the first prompt information to the target terminal.

[0135] Optionally, the control module 23 includes:

[0136] The adjustment submodule is used to adjust the seat temperature of the target seat if it is determined that the temperature of the target seat is abnormal and the target user is in a close proximity state, so that the temperature value of the surface of the target seat changes to a preset normal temperature range. The close proximity state is used to indicate that the target user is within a preset range around the vehicle and is moving towards the vehicle.

[0137] Optionally, the device 20 further includes:
