[0041] In this embodiment, the vehicle interior light control method can be applied to Figure 1 In the car system shown. Figure 1 The automotive system includes components such as the control module, interior lighting assembly, on-board biometric module, and interior components. The control module is a component with control and data processing functions; the on-board biometric module is a module that can recognize a person's facial features, body movements, or biometric information such as fingerprints. For example, a fingerprint sensor or a camera with facial recognition function can be used as an on-board biometric module; interior components include decorative interior components such as steering wheel covers, seat cushions, floor mats, pendants, and ornaments, as well as functional and operable components such as the steering wheel, gear lever, pedals, light control lever, center console (or specific buttons and knobs thereon), and armrests.

[0042] In this embodiment, the interior light assembly can be in the form of a roof light, that is, the interior light assembly can be installed on the ceiling to illuminate downward. The interior light assembly can be a single unit in appearance, in which multiple independent light-emitting components are integrated. Different light-emitting components have different illumination directions, and each light-emitting component is responsible for illuminating a specific area. In this way, the interior light assembly can be installed as a whole in a location such as above the center console, and the individual light-emitting components inside can illuminate the driver's position, the passenger seat, the gear lever, etc. Alternatively, the interior light assembly can be multiple discrete light-emitting components, which are installed on the ceiling above the driver's position, the passenger seat, and the gear lever. In this embodiment, each light-emitting component can be an LED, and the on / off and optical parameters (including color, brightness, color temperature, etc.) of each light-emitting component can be independently controllable.

[0043] For example, refer to Figure 2 The interior space of a car can be divided into areas such as the driver's seat, the front passenger seat, the left rear seat, the middle rear seat, the right rear seat, and the interior components. Light-emitting components are installed on the ceiling above each of these areas, forming the interior light assembly. In this way, when the control module controls all the light-emitting components to light up, the interior light assembly illuminates the entire interior of the car. In this case, the entire interior of the car is illuminated, and there are no non-illuminated areas. When the control module controls the light-emitting components above the driver's seat to light up, and controls the light-emitting components above other positions to extinguish, the interior light assembly illuminates only a portion of the interior. In this case, the driver's seat is the illuminated area, and the other positions are non-illuminated areas.

[0044] In this embodiment, light-emitting components with good illumination directionality can be used. The light emitted by each light-emitting component mainly illuminates its corresponding illumination area, with less light leaking into other illumination areas. For example, if the control module only controls the light-emitting components above the driver's seat to light up, the light emitted by the light-emitting components will mainly illuminate the driver's seat, while even the passenger seat adjacent to the driver's seat will not be illuminated. As a result, the passenger seat will be in a dark or dim state when the external lighting conditions are poor (such as at night).

[0045] In this embodiment, the structure is as follows Figure 1 The car that executes the car interior light control method is called "this car". Specifically, each step in the car interior light control method can be executed by the control module. The control module can call other components of the car when executing the steps. Figure 3 , the automobile interior light control method comprises the following steps:

[0046] S1. Detecting the first identity information of the first occupant;

[0047] S2. Determine the operating parameters of the car interior lights based on the first identity information;

[0048] S3. Control the operation of the vehicle interior lights according to the operating parameters.

[0049] In this embodiment, Figure 4 The illustrated scenario, where there is a passenger in the driver's seat (the first passenger, i.e., the driver), is used as an example to illustrate steps S1-S3. Furthermore, in this scenario, a camera with facial recognition functionality is used as the in-vehicle biometric module. This camera can be mounted on a location such as the front windshield to capture images of the cabin. The camera can be configured to require authorization from each passenger before capturing images, or to restrict captured images to local processing according to privacy standards and destroy the data after processing, thereby ensuring privacy.

[0050] During step S1, the control module invokes the vehicle-mounted biometric recognition module to identify the first occupant. For example, the control module may invoke a camera to capture the interior of the vehicle, thereby capturing an image containing the first occupant. The camera then runs a facial recognition algorithm on the captured image to extract the first occupant's facial features, thereby obtaining first identity information. The first identity information may include information such as the first occupant's name or number, or feature information such as the first occupant's facial features.

[0051] In step S2, the control module determines the operating parameters of the vehicle interior light based on the first identity information obtained in step S1. Specifically, the operating parameters of the vehicle interior light include illumination area location information, i.e., information indicating which locations within the vehicle cabin fall within the illumination area. For example, the illumination area location information may indicate that the driver's position and interior components fall within the illumination area.

[0052] In step S3, the control module controls the operation of the vehicle interior lights based on the operating parameters determined in step S2. Because the operating parameters determined in step S2 include illumination area location information, indicating which locations within the vehicle cabin fall within the illumination area, when executing step S3, the control module sends control instructions to the light-emitting components of the vehicle interior light assembly corresponding to those locations within the illumination area, thereby controlling these light-emitting components to emit light.

[0053] For example, if the illumination area position information obtained by executing step S2 indicates that the driver's position and the interior component position belong to the illumination area, then the control module sends control instructions to the light-emitting component installed above the driver's position and the light-emitting component installed above the interior component position, thereby controlling the light-emitting component installed above the driver's position and the light-emitting component installed above the interior component position to emit light, so that the driver's position and the interior component position in the car cabin are both illuminated.

[0054] In this embodiment, a certain trigger condition can be set for step S3, and step S3 is executed only when the trigger condition is met. For example, the trigger condition can be set to "detecting that the vehicle door is open or the gear is engaged in N (or P)". In this way, only when the vehicle door is open or the gear is engaged in N (or P), that is, when the vehicle is parked, will step S3 be triggered, that is, some or all of the light-emitting components are controlled to emit light, thereby preventing the interior light components of the vehicle from being illuminated while the vehicle is moving and affecting driving, thereby ensuring traffic safety.

[0055] In this embodiment, by executing steps S1-S3, the working parameters can be determined according to the first identity information of the first occupant of the vehicle. The working parameters include the location information of the illumination area, so it can be determined to control the vehicle interior lights to illuminate the entire area or part of the area in the vehicle cabin. When only part of the area in the vehicle cabin is illuminated, the area illuminated by the vehicle interior lights will obtain good visibility, thereby providing convenience for the occupants to operate the interior components in the area illuminated by the vehicle interior lights, communicate with the occupants in the area illuminated by the vehicle interior lights, and read books in the area illuminated by the vehicle interior lights. The areas in the vehicle cabin that are not illuminated by the vehicle interior lights can maintain a low visibility, for example, making it difficult for the outside world to see the areas in the vehicle cabin that are not illuminated by the vehicle interior lights, thereby protecting the privacy information of the occupants or the items placed in the areas in the vehicle cabin that are not illuminated by the vehicle interior lights, improving the privacy of the car, and providing a good user experience.

[0056] In this embodiment, when executing step S2, that is, determining the operating parameters of the vehicle interior light according to the first identity information, the following steps may be specifically performed:

[0057] S201A. Determine the irradiation area location information and the non-irradiation area location information based on the first identity information;

[0058] S202A. Determine working parameters based on the irradiation area position information and the non-irradiation area position information.

[0059] Steps S201A-S202A are the first execution mode of step S2.

[0060] Before executing steps S201A-S202A, the vehicle owner, his / her family members and other personnel can preset the irradiation area location information and non-irradiation area location information in the control module according to their own wishes, and preset the identity information of the vehicle owner and his / her family members. The irradiation area location information and non-irradiation area location information can represent fixed locations, for example, the irradiation area location information can be fixed to represent Figure 4 The driver position and interior component position 2 in the non-irradiated area position information can be fixedly represented Figure 4 Other locations except the driver's position and interior component position 2. Among them, people with different identities can preset different area location information and non-irradiation area location information. For example, the owner of the car can preset the irradiation area location information as Figure 4 All the locations in the (correspondingly, the location information of the non-irradiated area is empty), and the owner's children can preset the location information of the illuminated area as Figure 4 The driver position and interior component position 2 in the image are shown in the figure (correspondingly, the non-irradiated area position information is all positions except the driver position and interior component position 2).

[0061] In this way, when executing step S201A, the control module can first compare and match the first identity information detected in step S1 with the preset vehicle owner identity information. If the comparison and match is successful, it can be determined that the first occupant is the vehicle owner himself or the vehicle owner's family members, etc. Then the control module reads the preset illumination area position information and non-illumination area position information. In step S202A, the illumination area position information and non-illumination area position information constitute the working parameters.

[0062] In this embodiment, by executing steps S201A-S202A, the illumination area position information and the non-illumination area position information can be preset according to factors such as the personal habits of people who frequently use the vehicle. In this way, when executing step S3 to control the operation of the vehicle interior lights, the vehicle interior light assembly can be automatically controlled according to the first identity information of the first occupant to illuminate the area that the first occupant is accustomed to illuminating (i.e., the area corresponding to the illumination area position information), while the area that the first occupant is accustomed not to illuminating (i.e., the area corresponding to the non-illumination area position information) will not be illuminated, thereby improving the flexibility of the vehicle interior lights and meeting the personalized needs of different users.

[0063] For example, the owner of the car may not care about the outside world seeing the situation inside the car cabin, but is more concerned about improving the visibility of various locations in the car cabin. In this way, the owner can preset the location information of the illuminated area as Figure 4 All the positions in the irradiation area can satisfy the owner's own usage habits when executing step S3; while the owner's children may be more concerned about their own privacy and usually only use the driver's position and interior parts position 2, so the owner's children can preset the irradiation area position information as Figure 4 The driver position and interior component position 2 in the embodiment can satisfy the usage habits of the owner's children when executing step S3.

[0064] For example, the owner's children may be accustomed to putting their personal belongings in the armrest box (usually installed in the Figure 4 The owner's children can preset their own identity information into the control module, and set the armrest box as the target interior, and the position of the target interior (i.e. Figure 4 Thus, when the child of the owner drives the vehicle as the first passenger, the control module executes step S1, and the first identity information obtained is the identity information of the child of the owner. When executing step S201A, the control module can read the preset target interior of the armrest box according to the first identity information, and thus set the position of the target interior of the armrest box (i.e. Figure 4 The interior component position 2) is determined as the irradiation area position information, and accordingly, Figure 4 All other positions except the interior component position 2 are determined as non-irradiation area position information. In this way, when the control module executes step S3, it controls the position of the target interior of the vehicle interior lamp assembly located at the armrest box (i.e. Figure 4 The luminous component above the interior component position 2) in the figure emits light, while the other luminous components do not emit light, so that only the armrest box, the target interior component position (i.e. Figure 4 The interior parts position 2) are illuminated, which makes it convenient for the owner's children to use the armrest box, while the driver's position and other passenger positions are in a low visibility state because they are not illuminated by the car's interior light components, which can prevent outsiders from seeing clearly, thereby effectively protecting privacy information.

[0065] In this embodiment, when executing step S201A, that is, determining the irradiation area position information and the non-irradiation area position information based on the first identity information, the following steps may be specifically performed:

[0066] S20101. Detecting the second identity information of the second occupant;

[0067] S20102. Detect the correlation between the first identity information and the second identity information;

[0068] S20103. Determine the irradiated area position information and the non-irradiated area position information based on the correlation degree.

[0069] In this embodiment, Figure 5 Taking the scenario shown, that is, there is a passenger in the driver's seat (the first passenger, ie, the driver) and there is also a passenger in the right rear seat (the second passenger) as an example, steps S20101-S20103 are explained.

[0070] In step S20101, while executing step S1, the identity information of the second passenger can be detected from the image captured by the camera, i.e., the onboard biometric recognition module, to obtain the second identity information. The second identity information and the first identity information can be of the same type. When detecting the first identity information and the second identity information, since the first passenger and the second passenger have certain positions in the image, the position of the first passenger in the vehicle cabin (i.e., Figure 5 The driver's position in the vehicle) and the second passenger's position in the vehicle cabin (i.e. Figure 5 rear right seat in the middle).

[0071] In step S20102, a data table may be preset in the control module to store the identity information of the vehicle owner and his / her family or friends. That is, the persons corresponding to the identity information stored in the data table have a close relationship such as acquaintance or familiarity. When executing step S20102, the following judgment rules may be set:

[0072] If two pieces of identity information can be searched in the data table at the same time, then the correlation degree between the two pieces of identity information is determined to be 1; otherwise, the correlation degree between the two pieces of identity information is determined to be 0.

[0073] According to the above judgment rules, if the correlation degree between the first identity information and the second identity information is 1, then the first occupant corresponding to the first identity information and the second occupant corresponding to the second identity information have a close relationship such as knowing each other or being familiar with each other; if the correlation degree between the first identity information and the second identity information is 0, then the first occupant corresponding to the first identity information and the second occupant corresponding to the second identity information do not know each other or are not familiar with each other.

[0074] When executing step S20103, the correlation threshold can be set to 0.5. Thus, when the correlation between the first identity information and the second identity information is greater than the correlation threshold 0.5, it can be determined that the correlation between the first identity information and the second identity information is 1, and the position of the second occupant in the vehicle cabin (i.e. Figure 5 The right rear row position in the image is used to determine the non-irradiation area position information, and the irradiation area position information is determined based on the position other than the non-irradiation area position information; when the correlation between the first identity information and the second identity information is less than or equal to the correlation threshold 0.5, it can be determined that the correlation between the first identity information and the second identity information is 0, then the target interior can be determined based on the first identity information and the second identity information, and the irradiation area position information is determined based on the position of the target interior; the non-irradiation area position information is determined based on the position other than the irradiation area position information.

[0075] Specifically, when determining the target interior according to the first identity information and the second identity information, the target interior can be selected according to the wishes of the car owner or other personnel. For example, if the car owner is accustomed to using the central armrest box (usually located in the Figure 5 Interior component position 2) This interior component allows rear passengers to use the rear air conditioning vents or charging ports (usually located Figure 5 The target interior can be determined as the central armrest box, rear air-conditioning vents or charging port, etc., so that when executing step S20103, when the correlation between the first identity information and the second identity information is less than or equal to the correlation threshold 0.5, it can be determined that the correlation between the first identity information and the second identity information is 0, then the irradiation area position information is Figure 5 Positions such as interior part position 2 and interior part position 3 in the.

[0076] In this embodiment, the principle of executing steps S20101-S20103 is that if the correlation between the first identity information and the second identity information is greater than the correlation threshold of 0.5 (for example, the correlation between the first identity information and the second identity information is 1), it indicates that the first occupant and the second occupant have a close relationship such as knowing each other or being familiar with each other, usually the relationship between the car owner and his family, then executing step S20103 can determine the position of the second occupant in the car cabin (i.e. Figure 5 The right rear position in the vehicle is determined as the non-irradiated area position information, so that when executing step S3, the control module will control the position of the second passenger in the vehicle cabin in the vehicle interior light component (i.e. Figure 5 The light-emitting component above the right rear seat in the car is extinguished, while the other light-emitting components are illuminated, so as to facilitate the use of the first passenger and protect the privacy of the second passenger; if the correlation between the first identity information and the second identity information is less than or equal to the correlation threshold value 0.5 (for example, the correlation between the first identity information and the second identity information is 0), it indicates that the first passenger and the second passenger do not know each other or are familiar with each other, which usually occurs in scenarios such as the car is an online car or taxi, the first passenger is an online car or taxi driver, and the second passenger is an online car or taxi passenger. Then, executing step S20103 can set the interior components frequently used by the first passenger and open to the second passenger as the target interior, and set the position of the target interior in the car cabin (for example Figure 5 The interior component position 2 and interior component position 3 in the vehicle interior are determined as the irradiation area position information, so that when executing step S3, the control module controls the position of the vehicle interior light component located at the target interior in the vehicle cabin (for example, Figure 5 The light-emitting components above interior component positions 2 and 3 in the vehicle are illuminated, while the other light-emitting components are extinguished. This protects the privacy of the second occupant while facilitating access to the relevant interior components for the first and second occupants. Therefore, by executing steps S20101-S20103, a balance is achieved between vehicle convenience and occupant privacy.

[0077] In this embodiment, when executing step S2, that is, determining the operating parameters of the vehicle interior light according to the first identity information, the following steps may be specifically performed:

[0078] S201B. Determine the emotional information of the first occupant based on the first identity information;

[0079] S202B. Determine the location information of the irradiated area and the location information of the non-irradiated area based on the emotion information.

[0080] Steps S201B-S202B are a second execution method of step S2.

[0081] In step S201B, while executing step S1, the first occupant's facial expression can be identified from the image captured by the camera, i.e., the onboard biometric recognition module, using an expression recognition algorithm, thereby determining the first occupant's emotional information. The specific content of the first occupant's emotional information can be "excited," "neutral," "depressed," etc.

[0082] In step S202B, based on the emotional information obtained in step S201B, the illuminated area location information and the non-illuminated area location information are determined. Specifically, the closer the emotional information content is to "excitement," the more locations are determined as illuminated area location information, and all locations other than the illuminated area location information are non-illuminated area location information. Correspondingly, the closer the emotional information content is to "depression," the more locations are determined as non-illuminated area location information, and all locations other than the non-illuminated area location information are illuminated area location information.

[0083] For example, when the emotion information obtained in step S201B is "excited", then in step S202B, Figure 5 All positions in the image are determined as the illumination area position information, and the corresponding non-illumination area position information is empty. In this way, when executing step S3, the control module will control the vehicle interior light assembly to illuminate all positions in the vehicle cabin; when the emotion information obtained in step S201B is "normal", then in step S202B, Figure 5 The driver's position and interior component position 1, interior component position 2 and interior component position 3 in the vehicle are determined as the irradiation area position information, and the other positions are determined as the non-irradiation area position information. In this way, when executing step S3, the control module will control the vehicle interior light assembly to illuminate the driver's position and interior component position 1, interior component position 2 and interior component position 3 in the vehicle cabin, while other positions will not be illuminated; when the emotional information obtained in step S201B is "depressed", then in step S202B, only Figure 5 The interior component position 2 is determined as the illumination area position information, and the other positions are determined as the non-illumination area position information and are empty. In this way, when executing step S3, the control module will control the car interior light assembly to only illuminate the interior component position 2 in the car cabin, while other positions will not be illuminated.

[0084] In this embodiment, the principle of executing steps S201B-S202B is that a person's privacy needs are related to his or her emotions. Generally speaking, the closer the emotion is to excitement, the lower the privacy needs are, and conversely, the closer the emotion is to depression, the higher the privacy needs are. By executing steps S201B-S202B, when the first occupant (usually the driver) is closer to excitement, that is, the lower the privacy needs are, more areas can be set as the illumination area position information, so that more areas in the car cabin are illuminated by the car interior light assembly, thereby facilitating the first occupant to observe and use items in the car cabin. When the first occupant (usually the driver) is closer to depression, that is, the higher the privacy needs are, fewer areas can be set as the illumination area position information, and correspondingly more areas can be set as the non-illumination area position information, so that only the commonly used areas in the car cabin are illuminated by the car interior light assembly, while other areas are not illuminated by the car interior light assembly, which is conducive to meeting the privacy needs of the first occupant and improving the user experience of the car.

[0085] In this embodiment, regardless of whether step S2 is performed in the manner of steps S201A-S202A or steps S201B-S202B, when step S2 is performed, the following steps may be performed on the basis of performing steps S201A-S202A or S201B-S202B:

[0086] S203. Detecting the irradiation target contained in the irradiation area position information;

[0087] S204. Decomposing the irradiation area position information into at least one irradiation sub-area position information according to the irradiation target;

[0088] S205. Assigning optical parameters to each irradiated sub-region position information;

[0089] S206. Add each optical parameter to the working parameters.

[0090] In steps S203-S204, according to the embodiments of steps S201A-S202A or steps S201B-S202B, after determining the irradiation area position information, the irradiation area position information is usually a combination of multiple positions such as "driver position and interior component position 2", that is, the irradiation area position information usually includes an irradiation sub-area position information such as "driver position" and an irradiation sub-area position information such as "interior component position 2", and the irradiation target contained in the irradiation sub-area position information of "driver position" is the first passenger, and the irradiation target contained in the irradiation sub-area position information of "interior component position 2" is the center armrest box.

[0091] In step S205, optical parameters are assigned to each illumination sub-area position information, where the optical parameters are a combination of parameters such as color, brightness, and color temperature. Different optical parameters can be assigned to different illumination sub-area position information. For example, for the illumination sub-area position information of "driver position", optical parameters such as "yellow, brightness 100, color temperature 2500K" are assigned, and for the illumination sub-area position information of "interior component position 2", optical parameters such as "white, brightness 100, color temperature 5000K" are assigned.

[0092] In step S206, the optical parameters set in step S205 are added to the operating parameters. Thus, the operating parameters obtained by executing step S2 are in the form shown in Table 1.

[0093] Table 1

[0094]

[0095] After executing steps S203-S206 to obtain the operating parameters shown in Table 1, the control module, when executing step S3, controls the light-emitting component located above the driver's position in the vehicle interior lamp assembly to illuminate the driver's position according to the optical parameters of "yellow, brightness 100, color temperature 2500K." It also controls the light-emitting component located above interior component position 2 in the vehicle interior lamp assembly to illuminate the interior component position 2 according to the optical parameters of "white, brightness 100, color temperature 5000K." Simultaneously, the light-emitting components at other positions are turned off. Therefore, by executing steps S203-S206, the optical parameters illuminated at different illumination sub-regions are different, thereby improving the recognition of different illumination sub-regions. This helps create a sense of boundary between the first and second occupants, for example, when the first and second occupants are unfamiliar with each other, thereby improving the user experience.

[0096] In this embodiment, optical parameters that can produce a blocking visual effect (for example, closer to red, lower brightness) can be assigned to the illumination sub-area position information that the second passenger is not expected to contact or use, while optical parameters that do not produce a blocking visual effect or have a weaker blocking visual effect (for example, closer to white, higher brightness) can be assigned to the illumination sub-area position information that is open to the second passenger, thereby forming a sense of boundary in the car cabin.

[0097] Alternatively, in this embodiment, optical parameters may be allocated to the position information of each illumination sub-area according to the characteristics of illumination targets such as different passengers or different objects. Figure 5If an object that needs to be protected from light is placed in the "left rear position" as the illumination target, then optical parameters with lower brightness can be assigned to the position information of the illumination sub-area of ​​the "left rear position", so as to adapt to the personalized requirements of different positions for illumination by the car interior lights.

When the computer program is read out and run, the method for controlling the interior lights of an automobile in this embodiment is executed, thereby achieving the same technical effect as the method for controlling the interior lights of an automobile in the embodiment.
